Chapter 7: 7
"Congratulations Keith!" Hailey and Sunny cheered him up with some of his friends. He had finally graduated from high school and was heading for college in a few weeks.
Buh-bye fake ass bitch Tessy. He said to himself as he took pictures with his classmates and friends. He was going to New Jersey City University. It was just a few minutes away from home.
He started at Sunny who was taking a picture with his sister. He had had a crush on her since forever and had been a coward about it. He did the craziest thing that came into mind at the moment. He walked
up to them and pulled Sunny closer to him as he kissed. He thought she was going to pull away and slap him but instead, she pulled him closer and deepened the kiss to everyone's outermost surprise.
Hailey stood smirking. She knew they both liked each other, but they were both cowards to admit to themselves.
Sunny's face blushed as she broke off the kiss. "Would you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked her as she nodded affirmatively.
He carried her and span around with her in happiness.
"It was fun while it lasted," Tessy murmured to herself as she walked off.
"Hi, Freya." Zed greeted happily sitting down before her.
"Someone is in a good mood today," Freya added raising her eyebrows at him.
"Yeah, let's say I'm making progress with Soraya." He said.
"By warming her bed?" She took a lucky guess.
"And that also." He winked at her as she smiled fakely at him.
"Good luck then." She smirked.
"Thank you, love, but you my friend need a man in your life." He said.
"Well, that ain't happening anytime soon because the man I love is in love with another." She said to him.
"Do I know him?" He asked.
"N-no, you don't." She awkwardly stuttered as her phone rang.
"What do you mean the colours mixed up? I sought them out for you Mildred, what happened?" She asked frustrated.
"And I presented them to the production team the same way you gave them to me, but they came back all mixed up." She explained.
"I can see you outside my office, Mildred, come on in and give me a better explanation," Freya said dropping the phone as Mildred came in with the samples of the winter collection that had gone wrong. "What, what the hell is this? Who supervised this as well?" She fumed.
"Cole did." She said referring to the leader of the production team. Zend received a phone call from his boss and signalled her he was leaving as she nodded in response.
"Get me, Cole!" She said as she sat on the chair.
"People love, people leave, people let down
People show up, roll up, people grow up
People move out, people disappear
People don't change, people rearrange
People miss the game, people lose
People try, people, lie, can't look you in the eye
People suck, people, fuck, people, leave their shit behind
People throw up on the carpet, people trip up on the stairs
People laugh, people dare, people scare, people tell you what to wear
People jump, people sink, people float, people think
People fail, people hate what they don't know
People think they're worth nothing, people think they're worth the top
People drop, people, love what they know, people think but don't stop..."
Cole hummed to the music that was playing on the television.
"Cole, Freya needs your ass in her office asap," Mildred said as he turned off the television set and walked off to her office.
"Boss, you sent for me." He said walking entering the office.
"What did you do to my winter collection?" She asked showing him the mess Mildred brought into her office.
"That's not the collection, that's something I was messing around with. The collection is in my office." Cole said. "So how come Mildred brought these to me?" She sighed.
"I'll bet she was distracted." He chuckled as he walked out to get her designs and took the one she was holding.
"Ma'am, Cecelia Vega and her team are here for the show, so I let them in?" Carla asked.
"Sure, Carla and please take the sample of my collection from Cole." She said as they walked in and Carla headed off to do what she was told.
"Hey, Ms Freya, ready for the show?" She asked as the team set up their equipment.
"More than ready Cecelia." She said as the makeup team made her up.
"5..4..3..2..1."
"Goodmorning America, it's your host Cecelia Vega and as we promised, our guest on the show today is Freya Grey. If you can notice, I'm not in my studio but I'm in the studio in Freya's company." She said as a few people cheered up. They had come with a special audience since the normal crowd wouldn't fit in Freya's studio.
"So Freya, what's new for his season?" Vega asked.
"Well, I just started my newest winter collection 2020." She said.
"Wow, that's great. We can't wait to see it and try it as well." Vega added.
"Now, how come a hot, successful, powerful fashion icon is still single?"Vega asked.
"Hmm, funny enough, the men, I don't know how to put this but I think they are intimidated by my success and can not ask me out. For now, I would actually love to stay single until I change my mind." She told. "Aww, dear young successful men why?" She dramatically added.
"Any crushes?" She asked.
"Yeah, but he's in love with another woman." She painfully smiled. "Wow, that's the worst kinda crush," Vega said.
"Tell me about it." She rolled her eyes making the audience laugh.
"Maybe there's someone out there for you dear," Vega stated.
"I dunno..." She trailed off.
"Just give yourself a chance, if you don't feel the same way towards them, just move on." She shrugged.
"Thanks, Vega, I would consider it." Freya smiled.
"Well, then it's a wrap and this is Good morning America." She said as the show ended.
"That was a good show, thanks to Freya, even though it was on short notice it was fun to be here," Vega said.
"My pleasure," Freya said as Vega and her team walked out of the company. Carla entered the office with the samples of the collection she was talking about.
"Good show boss." She congratulated.
"Thanks, dear." She smiled at her friend.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
