I woke up the next morning and realized that Justina & Taryn never left. I decided to jump in the shower before I woke them up.
“Girls get up we have to get ready to go. We have to be at the shop in an hour.” I said
“Slleeep is good. Go away.” Taryn mumbled.
“Shut up Taryn. Get up, we have a client coming in and the store has to be presentable. Plus we don’t know who it is and things have to run smoothly or they will think we have no idea what we are doing.” I exclaimed
I don’t know why I was so nervous today but I was. I didn’t know who was coming in, but they seemed pretty important.
“Justina, get in the shower, it takes you forever to get ready.” I said as I slightly kicked her in her side.
Justina & Taryn both got in the shower. Thank god I have 2 bathrooms because they both take forever to get ready. While they were showering I blew out my hair to make it straight, then I ironed it to get it really sleek. I was doing my make-up when they walked in and started to raid my closet.
“Adriana, you have like hundreds of the same shirt. I can not believe you.” Justina said
“Listen, you can either stop complaining or wear what you had on yesterday.” I said
“Someone is a little moody this morning.” Taryn said laughing. “Listen Adriana, I’m gonna borrow your white shirt with the black sweater and a pair of jeans.”
“Yeah no problem, just make sure I actually get them back this time because I am down half a wardrobe because of you two.” I laughed
Once we were ready to leave, I gave myself one last look in the mirror. I was wearing a black button down shirt with a red belt at my waist, a pairs of skinny jeans, and my red Steve Madden heels. I looked really good today if I could say so myself.
I opened the store at exactly 8 and started to dust and vacuum for the client coming in. I put out the new things that just came in. I totally forgot about the new tops and jeans designs I sent out to be manufactured. We got done at about 12 and decided to have some coffee at the shop next door.
“I wonder who is coming in today.” Taryn said
“Yeah me too. They sound pretty stuck up, I mean who has special requests for a clothing store. This person needs to get real.” I stated
We ordered our coffees and sat at a table in the corner.
“Adriana, are you ok? Lately you have been really snippy about certain things.” Justina said
“I have not. It’s just that people can be really demanding, and I just can’t stand it.” I retaliated
“I think you need to get some.” Joked Justina
I pulled out my cell to check for the time and realized that it was already 1:30.
“We should get back to the shop. The client is coming in an hour and a half. We have to get some outfits out and prepare them. I wrote down some of the outfits I had in mind so all we have to do is get them out and put them together.” I said
“Ok back to work we go.” Taryn said
Back in the shop we got all the outfits together and put them in the back room that we use for famous clients. The room is really luxurious, it has couches and is designed more like a lounge than a fitting room.
“Oh shit!” I yelled
“What happened?” Taryn said
“I forgot to send out the designs we drew up last night.” I said mentally smacking myself.
I put the designs in a folder and called DHL to come pick them up.
Everything was done at about 2:45, so we decided to just chill out until the client came in. At 3 o’clock on the dot, he arrived.
Justina let him in and told him that I would be out in a minute. When she walked in to get me, she was all smiles and freaking out. I got so nervous because of her that I walked out to the client shaking.
“Hi. I’m Pete. I have an appointment at 3 with the designer.” He said
“Hi Pete. I’m Adriana the designer. It is great to meet you. Please come right this way. I hope you don’t mind that I put a few outfits together for you to look at. I was under the impression that you were bringing a friend that these outfits were for.” I said
“Yeah, well she couldn’t make today so I came by myself to get some things for her.”
“Oh ok. Well the outfits are right back here. Take your time looking them over and if you need any assistance I will be right next door in my office.”
“Umm, actually I was hoping you could stay here to give your opinions. I have no idea about this stuff. I mean I do because I have a clothing line myself but I have no idea what girls really prefer.”
“I understand. It’s not a problem, I would love to help you out, let me just tell Taryn and Justina to take care of the front of the store.”
With that I walked out to tell the girls what was going on.
“Oh my god, he is so much hotter in person” I heard Justina saying
“Excuse me, I hate to break this up but Pete would like me to stay with him and help pick out the outfits, so I need you to stay out here and take care of the front of the store.”
“Ok. Tell us everything, I need to know everything about him.” Taryn said
“You two are out of control. I have to get back there”
I walked into the other room with my head a little higher and standing a little straighter. Pete was cuter in person. “Adriana, stop it, he is a client and this person he is picking clothes out for is probably his girlfriend.” I said to myself
“Pete, I am so sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It’s no problem, I was thinking about these two outfits.” He said
“Good choices, those were my favorites too.”
He picked one outfit kind of like the one I was wearing except it was a white shirt with a black belt and black skinny jeans and the other was a brown and gold kimono shirt with blue jeans and gold pumps.
“I have a weird request. Would you mind trying them on so I can see what they look like on.” He said blushing
“That might not work, things look different on different bodies, so you wouldn’t be getting the best idea of what the outfit is going to look like on your friend.”
“She has a perfect body, kinda like yours.” He said
I just smiled and giggled a little. “Umm I mean” he blushed
“It’s no problem, you’re cute when you blush.” I said shyly. Oh my god I did not say that out loud, now I was blushing.
“So are you.” He said
Were we flirting, I had no idea. I just laughed and went into the dressing room with the outfits.
I came out in the first one and Pete really seemed to like it.
“That looks great, Madison will love it.”
“Is Madison your girlfriend?” I asked Pete looked at me.
“I'm sorry, I never should have asked you that, it was unprofessional.”
I turned and walked back into the dressing room.
I smacked myself in the head “Stupid stupid stupid” I said to myself.
All of a sudden I heard Pete say “Yeah” He sounded pretty distant, like he wasn’t so happy, but I didn’t want to pry anymore than I already did.
I came out in the second outfit and Pete’s jaw dropped.
“You look hot” he said
I looked at him with a smile on my face. He’s so cute when he is nervous.
“I mean she will look so hot in that. I’m going to take both outfits including the shoes. She wears a size 7 in shoes.”
“That’s great, I’m glad you like the clothes. Would you be interested in some accessories for the outfits?”
“Umm yeah sure.” He said uninterested
“They are right out in the front”
He followed me out to the other room and I picked out bracelets, earrings, and necklaces for the outfits. He took everything I picked out and I stared to ring him up.
“If you don’t mind me asking, why are you buying her all this stuff?”
“Well first, my band has some press to do and she has to look good and second, her birthday is in 2 days.” He said plainly
“Oh well, that is really nice of you. The total is $769. I hope to see you again soon. This is my card, please feel free to call if you have any questions or requests. I hope Madison enjoys your purchases.” I said
“Thank you. Hopefully I will see you again.” He stated
“Yeah that would be great.”
I walked him to the door and we said good-bye to each other.
“Adriana” Taryn said
“Ummhmm” I replied
“We have been trying to get you attention for 10 minutes but all you have been doing is staring out the window. Are you alright?” Justina said laughing at me
“Yeah, I’m fine.” I said
“So what happened back there?” she said
I told them the whole conversation between Pete and me.
“Adriana has a crush.” They teased.
“I do not” I argued “He is a very nice guy and very charming but I do not have a crush. Anyway girls it is 6 o’clock, we should head home.”
“Time flies when you’re having fun. Doesn’t it Adriana.” Taryn said
“Whatever you guys. Do you want to come to my place tonight?”
“That would be cool.”
I locked up the doors and hailed a cab. We arrived at my place in 20 minutes and started to figure out what we wanted to do for dinner. As we were talking, my cell phone rang.
“Adriana Santoli, how can I help you?”
“Adriana, its Pete”
“Girls get up we have to get ready to go. We have to be at the shop in an hour.” I said
“Slleeep is good. Go away.” Taryn mumbled.
