Is this really how it's done

I walked downstairs to hear a commotion. The top designers were sitting in the couch surrounded by my security and my three assistants. They were facing Posh as he explained how my new wardrobe must be designed. Clothes, jewelry, bags and shoes. The designers loved his ideas. Some even suggested that he should come and work with them. Jasmine told them that he is the editor of the top fashion magazines. When I walked in they admired me saying that I should spend more time as a model.

I blushed as I stood on the foot stool. One tailor measured me head to toe so my outfit would fit me like a glove. Then a shoe designer measured my foot. Posh accidentally showed them Declan. He said, "This is Phillip my mom's new boyfriend. Would you dress him to look gorgeous" I laughed, "Darling that's Declan. He is happily married with kids. Phillip is behind you." The designers immediately surrounded him like they were a school of sharks. They admired his handsome features. One even said that we look like a couple on a wedding cake. I smiled, "One day but not today. When will I have my new wardrobe?" They promised a walk in closet full of the latest clothes by the end of the month. Posh waved as they walked out.

Tyler asked, "Why can't you go to the mall like everyone else." Posh fainted and Jasmine came to the rescue as she explained, "The reasons are many but I will tell you one. We were at Alita's wedding and the beautiful shoes she had bought from the mall just disintegrated. She was seriously embarrassed. I had to swap shoes with her. It was embarrassing since there were a thousand guests as well. I had to spend an entire hour with one shoe in my foot and one shoe in my hand. When we came home I called everywhere to make sure that from then on all her clothes are bespoke"

Declan saw the blank expression on their faces and realized that my security and Phillip didn't understand what she meant so he retorted, "Bespoke means the clothes, bags or shoes are hand made so it is seriously expensive. Some go up to four figures or even higher" Tyler whistled. Phillip nodded his head. Posh woke up and demanded that he be allowed to get rid of the clothes. He won't touch the jewelry since they have sentimental value.

I told him that the shoes are off limits too but he reminded me that the shoes have an expiration date. The glue would most likely lose its ability to stick. Which means the next time I wear it I might break my ankle. He reminded me that Dash hates hospitals. I waved my hand to let him in. Jasmine followed him and showed him the outfits he is not allowed to touch the rest were removed immediately. Jasmine took half the wardrobe while Diana took one or two. The rest was sent to limbo. (It means somewhere I can't get a hold of it ever again)

The next day Phillip was on the phone I sat down feeling sad and depressed. Jasmine got me some Aloe Vera juice and my breakfast. I slowly ate and got Diana to school. I sat reading through the documents and Jasmine asked me if I wanted to take the day off. I told her that I am going to take a nose dive into work. Phillip asked what was going on. As always Declan gave the answer, "Today is the anniversary of Shimmer's parents died. Today she is depressed and hyper aware. So she will be taking extra work and will not be disturbed. Our work load will double today so the junior assistants are going to be all over the place."

Jasmine called the spa and arranged a full body cleansing. Till lunch time I was excessively busy. My brother came to pick me up for a family lunch. I spend the time we were in the car crying. He held my hand as he stayed strong. We ate and I was escorted back to work. I took a swan dive into the legal department as I spend sometime shutting down some places while I opened new places. Declan came with a mug of hot chocolate while Jasmine spent the entire time on the phone making sure everything was according to plan. When it was time to leave we head straight for the spa. I was given a full body massage, a scrub down and some sort of seaweed wrap. When I came home the kids and I spend a few minutes in silence before Sembi made everyone laugh.
