❝Your heartbeat is like a lullaby❞ he mumbled

I grabbed the duvet that was tossed at the side of the bed and I put it on top of both of us
❝Is it really like a lullaby?❞
He nodded ❝A slow lullaby...
There was one time when we searched about Sophia but she is wasn't shown anywhere on the search engine platform, nobody knows what she looks like but they will only say that she hides her identity because she is still not used to the spotlight even as a fashion designer for decades
"This next fashion show will be a big one so I will need you sisters as my muses" We all gasped, me and my sisters have our eyes wide as saucers "Am I hearing this correctly?" Caramia asked Aunt Laborè
She nodded and Caramia squealed with Ella as both of their hands are intertwined with each other with excitement "I will be waiting at the mansion tomorrow so please get them ready Laborè," she asked Aunt Laborè in a sweet tone and she agreed
The recording ended and we all jumped up and down in excitement, this is the first time that someone is looking for us as inspiration for a big project
"Wait tomorrow?" I said in realization, Oh no
"We have to look our best tomorrow" Natalie let out, we all freaked out. Then all of us stormed to our rooms finding an outfit that we would plan to wear so we could make a good first impression on Sophia
"Girls calm down" Mom ran after us to our rooms and tried to tame us but we were still running around in panic, Natalie went out of her room carrying 2 different colored t-shirts one is red and the other is purple "Penelope, which color looks better on me?"
I checked the colors "The red makes you pop I guess that one," I told her quickly then I rummage all my clothes in my walk-in closet to look for a decent outfit
We heard a loud whistle throughout the house which caught our attention to go out of our rooms, Aunt Laborè was standing in the middle of the hallway like a coach
"Alright ladies listen up," she said loudly, we all went silent and stopped in our tracks
"I want you all to cooperate with me on this since my face will be ruined if one of you embarrasses yourselves at my boss, you embarrass yourselves you embarrass me" she seriously informed all of us, she gave Mom a nod and she snapped her finger three times
As we grew up, we were always told that when Mom snapped her finger three times we have to form a single-file line with the youngest at the front and the oldest at the back. It's like military but it works pretty well when you have 7 children in the house
"I want you all to bring out your best clothes in your closets and dump them in the hall, then I will decide which outfit suits you best" she crossed her arms and I can feel her fashionista self showing, her career is on the line here so it is understandable she will take this seriously
But in all honesty, we have never seen Aunt Laborè so serious in our whole lives. She is the type who is like that cool aunt that is carefree so seeing her so serious right now scares the shit out of all of us
We all followed her order and I chose all the best outfits I could find in my closet then dump them on the hallway ground, Aunt Laborè chose all our outfits
The whole night was just chaotic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Rise and Shine Ladies!!" I was startled awake by a loud microphone from the hallway, we were so tired last night that some of my sisters slept in the hallway while I slept on my cold bedroom floor leaving the door open
Aunt Laborè pulled out a blowhorn which made us now wide awake than the microphone, all of us groaned. This was supposed to be the weekend but I feel like I have to get up and work to pay off my bills
I was still half asleep when I slowly descend down the stairs, Wendy and Brie were wide awake while Natalie, Ella, and Adeline were fast asleep
Caramia was helping Mom prepare breakfast and as for Dad, he was whipping up some of his special pancakes that consist of a lot of diced fruits which by the way is very delicious. Aunt Laborè came into the dining room in full office attire that consists of her wearing full-on white pants and a vest with a black belt on the waist, silver dangling earrings with black stilettos, and an elegant low bun
"She's dressed up for her job very well," Brie admitted to all of us out loud and we couldn't help but to agree with her, I took a bite at the pancake that Dad made and drank the milk that Natalie served up
Breakfast was quiet in the house but outside was a different story other than some dogs barking and children laughing as they pass by our house it was a fairly normal morning at most, Dad was reading the morning article while Mom is listening to relaxing guitar music in her earphones
Brie and Caramia are talking about how they would put makeup on themselves but Aunt Laborè decided to tell us this right now, that and I quote "No pop of color makeup, it needs to be natural"
After breakfast we started wearing out clothes that are specifically chosen by Aunt Laborè, she chose a plain white dress that reached my knees with a blue thin cotton cardigan that reaches my thighs
The clothes she chose made my frame smaller and I look thinner because of it
She styled my hair in a messy yet elegant ponytail and I wore two small dangling earrings that Natalie chose for me, Aunt Laborè later puts some hair on my face to frame it and added some light make-up to my face like those Korean types because she said I might pull it off
She gave me a white wedge strap on sandals, I looked at myself in the full body mirror. Everything that I'm wearing is casual but I now give off that sophisticated type
"Now you are ready" Mom muttered under her breath as she added a bit of lip gloss to my lip before heading to Caramia's room next
