Design of the Heart

30

It was finally Friday, gala day.  I both hated and loved this day.  Every year there would be a gala held for the most influential and powerful people within the fashion industry.  It was a majorly televised event, and that meant a lot of hand shaking and people pleasing.  Even though I didn't much care for that part of the event I did like the fashion show of it where the most popular outfits from the whole year were put on display.  I always liked counting how many looks we had in the show, specifically which ones I had in it.

Having one of your looks in this fashion show was one of the biggest accomplishments you could have as a designer.  It meant that the people really liked it, and to me that's what designing had always been about.  Because we just launched our Back to School line yesterday those pieces were too recent to be included in the fashion show, but I was pretty sure there would be at least a piece or two from my spring line in there.  I mean don't get me wrong the money, recognition, and platform to speak my mind and have my opinions heard was nice, but my favorite part was seeing the joy that my designs could bring to other people.

Because the gala wasn't until this evening I didn't have to start getting ready until after lunch. This meant that I could sleep in for the first time since I've gotten home.  I took full advantage of this opportunity and didn't wake up until almost 10:00 this morning. Of course because I slept so late Jossilyn was already awake.

"Good morning sleepy head", she teased as I took a deep breath and kissed the top of her head.

"Good morning babe. How long have you been awake?", I asked squeezing my arms around her torso a little tighter and snuggling her in closer to me.

"Only like an hour or so, but I didn't want to wake you so I just laid here on my phone."

"Oh, I'm sorry. You could have gotten up if you wanted, or woken me up."

"No, it's fine I could lay in bed with you all day and never want to get up."

"As much as I would love to do that as well, love, we have to be downstairs at 11:00 for lunch so that we can be done eating and start getting ready by 12:00 because we have to leave by 4:30 for the gala tonight.   The red carpet starts at 4:00 but the event itself doesn't actually start until 5:00.  My parents will leave before us because they will want to get there as soon as possible so that they have more time to talk to everyone who is going to be there.  However, my sisters and I prefer to get there closer to start time to avoid having to talk to as many people.  But if you want to go earlier we can."

"No offense but all I heard was that we have until 11:00 to be downstairs so that means we have an hour to do whatever we want.", she said rolling us both over, getting on top of me, and kissing my neck.

"Mhmm, as... mhmm... as much as... "

"mhm, you want me to stop baby?", she whisper asked seductively in my ear.

"No, I mean yes, I mean...", before I could finish she moved down to my nipple and took it in her mouth making me gasp.

"All you have to do is say stop and I will", she said smiling into my breast.  She knew she had me flustered and she liked it.

I let her continue with what she was doing until she started to move further down.  I quickly flipped her over to where I was on top.  I could tell that had caught her off guard.

"Ah, ah, ah, I'm going first.", I said in her ear while pulling off her bottoms.

"How could I forget."

I swirled the tip in my mouth earning a few light moans, but I didn't stop there.   I took as much of her breast into my mouth as I could and sucked, once it got to where only the tip was left I lightly bit down earning a sudden gasp.

"Baaaa..."

"Shhh, my family is in the house.", I said kissing my way down her torso.

I started by kissing her thighs.  I kissed lightly just above her slit, and then licked down it before going back to her thighs.

"Baby... you're... teasing... me...",she said struggling to get the words out.

"Then tell me what it is you want.", I said into her skin making her shiver from the vibrations.

"Fuck me", she said grabbing the sheets.

"Later love", I said getting up and walking to the closet like we hadn't just been about to make love.

"WHAT!", she sat up on her elbows and screamed across the room.

"Sorry, but we need to get ready.  We can have fun later.", I winked and grabbed some clothes.

"You are such a tease", she said flopping back down onto the bed.  "I hate you"

"Remember that later when you're screaming my name"

"I could have been screaming it right now if you wouldn't have stopped."

"Oh trust me I know, but then everyone would have heard.  If we wait till tonight you and I can leave early and come back here and have some alone time.  Because trust me when I say the things I'm going to do to you tonight will have your voice heard around the block"

Jossilyn's mouth hung wide open.

"I'm going to take a shower.  Care to join?"

"After that little stunt?  No, I think I'll take one by myself after you're done."

"I mean I guess if you joined me I could give you a slight preview of what's to come tonight."

Jossilyn sprinted past me to the bathroom, "What are you doing slow poke we only have 30 minutes till we need to be downstairs."

I laughed and followed her into the bathroom.  "Someone's a bit desperate this morning don't ya think?"

"Shut up and get in here...  And it's not my fault, you're always teasing me and then not following up."

"In my defense you knew I was a flirt from the start.  I have never hidden that from you.", I said turning on the water.

"My bad I thought you had more bite in you, but I guess its all bark and no bite.", she said stepping into the water.

"You did not just say that!", I exclaimed.

"Oh but I did", she said winking.

"Fine, you wanna see my bite?"

The girls spent so much time playing they forgot they were on a schedule and before they knew it Anna's mom was yelling for them to come down for lunch.
