Chapter 16 - CHAPTER FOURTEEN LONDON FASHION WEEK 2

We we chatted a little on our flight and ate but the little because of my condition and him because apparently he was on a diet the flight to London wasn't all that bad I woke up just in time when the plane was landing at the London international airport our ride was already there as the company liked accounting for everyone signed under them so as to avoid complications so we prefer to travel together but in a group of two or three we headed straight to the hotel we were jetlagged so we retired to our respective rooms for tomorrow shall be very stressful as the whole models will be going for they are fitting then they'll be allowed to browse the city our job was just to get them ready for and make sure they work the wrong way and also avoid scandals I believe Jason was off doing business already he like to travel ahead because you could also recruit potential models from the cities and fashion month gave him all the options

" hey Jason "I said as he picked my call

"Icy I was told you guys arrived yesterday"

"yes I'm the models will be going for their fitting today"

"nice you should try and explore the city enjoy the scenery too"

"I think I'll pass but if I'm less busy I might"

"excuses Icy and we both know it"

"good day Jason I've got work to do"

"yeah rub it in my face that you make my work easier"

"facts on why are you stating the obvious"

"is it me or are you a little bit relaxed now different from your usual uptight work most fair I prefer this version"

"I have no idea goodbye sir" and the line went dead

Finally it was almost over we had a great time visiting place such as the Palace, the Parks some restaurants and rollercoaster it was an amazing experience the others had their walk and some had already gone ahead to Milan Josh was left and his was today London really outdid themselves with over 5,000 press and buyers the show at 180 strand London was indeed enjoyable I spotted a royal here and there but that was that I'm so stressed out Josh was walking today and it was indeed marvelous he managed to blow me away again as the piece he wore felt like they belong to him Yesser decided he wanted to travel to Milan with me we both went to the hotel together with Yesser we had a good chat in my room and he told me Lee might be late to Milan because of some other businesses that he had to attend to order I and Josh haven't sat down to take a breather since we both were busy but we usually watch movies together after the busy months me Josh and Yesser will be leaving for Milan tomorrow I could easily have gone ahead of them but I found myself wanting to travel with him my heart won't let me rest unless he's beside me

Today was going to be hectic I can't believe it's been a month now since we signed Yesser to the company , I like as much as possible to keep my private life private and away from business so if it doesn't warrant it we just say hello and go our separate ways I like the fact that he is nice I has to go with him because Lee wasn't feeling well and asked Jason to let me go, Because apparently he wasn't comfortable around anybody except me so much for an excuse I didn't like this idea but I was willing to go because of Yesser I avoided Fashion week like a plague because if I could see my shattered dreams everywhere I guess I'll be needing my Anti-depressants but hopefully I won't be using them , New York Fashion Week ended yesterday and trust me I didn't want to be part of all that, We had a lot of models that were booked solid such as Yesser, Hilda , Pierre, Jack, Anna, Salma , Rachna, Veronica, Kim Shin Hye, park Jae woon, among others in as much as they all looked forward to me being there I was really not in the mood to go I just told them I was down with cold and couldn't make it, I feel really bad but what could I do , well in other words it was a success and they all got paid I made sure of that and a few bonuses were added as I was feeling generous and wanted to appreciate their loyalty to the company everyone left very happy and then at this moment I was begged to go to Italy for Milan Fashion Week I was going to think of it as a vacation with lots of Italian food and scenery to spare the other models that were booked were going to go very early today only Yesser insisted that he was going with me later in the evening, this is why I didn't like being too close to anyone because he became hard to refuse , Jason told me to go and pack my bags but he had a smirk on his face not like I don't find that weird but whatever I was going to ask him when I came back , the event as usual will be lasting for a week so I packed my luggage with the appropriate amount of fashionable clothes , I might not be all that but I liked every opportunity to dress up and I found myself excited but it was odd maybe I wasn't thinking of fashion week but because I was going with Yesser my inner devious self told me I just blushed and continued packing my bags I hope this week will be nice to me since I wasn't needed in the office I decided to order something but I got bored with the Idea and I just went with watching Netflix I was done with my series and currently I was waiting for a new season but I fell asleep, my door bell woke me up I stood up from the couch to open the door and I met Yesser with his back turned towards me

"Hey Yesser , what's up ?"

"uhmm I just decided to come stay with you till we are ready to go to the airport" I looked down at his feet and saw his luggage Oh My God ! anyone that saw this would think he was moving in with me I just hurriedly brought him in because I also have nosy neighbours .

" what should I get you ?"

" anything is fine though "

" sorry I don't drink alcohol so I can only offer you Juice "

" yeah fine by me and I don't want to drink till fashion week is over I don't want to turn up looking like puke " he said and we laughed I came from the kitchen and offered him the juice I went to make popcorn for us and just then the doorbell rang and he said he'll get it , I came out with the popcorn and met him chatting with Deborah who gave me the Eye and before I could plead with her through our eye signal, she blurted out his inner most questions

"Are you guys dating ?"

" No! " I said faster than I intended I sat down on the same chair with Yesser and offered him the popcorn, I was about to put one in my mouth when she said

" So are you just Hooking up then " I stopped my popcorn mid air.

"oh God not again, no we are not Deborah"

" well why are you moving in?" she asked Yesser motioning towards his suitcase with her head

"no he isn't moving in, he just decided to keep me company till we go to the airport remember I texted you that I was going to Milan for Fashion Week ? " I said rolling my eyes

" you guys are going on a vacation together wow so romantic , I should tell my boyfriend to plan a vacation for us " she said and stood up with her phone I went after her into the her bedroom

"don't look at me like that I was just trying to be naughty and besides did you see him blushing ? he totally likes you "

" you think ! Love guru " I said sarcastically

" You can go back now , I'll be out of your hair so you can smooch more " she said with both her arms crossing over the other at her back and she was making lewd faces and smooching sounds , I rolled my eyes at her and told her okay and went back to the living room where I met him eating his popcorn I rose one eyebrow when he looked at me , he giggled like a little kid that has been caught red handed stealing chocolate

"Sorry I didn't wait I just love the way the popcorn is what did you put , Caramel right?"

"You think!" I said and sat down and continued Deborah already left the house, my hand touched the bottom of the bowl as if on cue we started to struggle for the final popcorn I laughed so hard that I felt my tummy hurt he ended on the floor .

**************

We headed to Milan for Fashion Week , we got to the hotel the only rooms available were the interlinking rooms so we took it another red flag I didn't want to compromise this friendship but I was catching feelings already but I couldn't even show them he uses every chance he gets to touch my hair , brush my hair from my face and I didn't feel any ease down there when he smiled at me I felt butterflies in my tummy having interlinking rooms is a bad idea I'm pretty sure what if I can't control myself and I just decide to jump him I sat on the bed and covered my face with my hand and fell flat on the bed I'm sure a whole day of stress is coming tomorrow because we have to go for fitting and practice I slept off after unpacking my bag .
