Dreams

What a beautiful day it is today. As I'm looking out at the window on my office floor, I could see the beautiful streets of LA filled with people all going about their day. I've come to like LA a lot especially since their "winter" is still beautiful compared to New York's snow. I mean I liked the snow but the cold and weather conditions for driving was unbearable.

It's been a busy few days; Dylan left the next day after our little "chat" since his flight was already booked for the following day. But he said he wants to come back soon especially for the next ultrasound appointment which is coming up soon. He's been calling and keeping up to date on how I've been doing but honestly, we've been so busy at work recently that sometimes I forget I'm pregnant.
I've been working on some new designs for our upcoming collections. I've also been helping Carlos with paperwork and things for our business. It's hard work but it's what I love doing so I'm not gonna complain.

It's 2:30pm and as my break is starting to come to an end, I get up from my chair and look away from the window getting ready to focus back on my work. As I walk to the design table, I hear the door open.

"What ya doin buddy" Carlos asks as he takes a seat on the table beside my new designs

"Oh I'm reading a book on how to join the circus. What do you think I'm doing? Oh and don't call me 'buddy'" I say with sarcasm

"Well don't join the circus yet... I have some good news that will have you jumping for joy" he says

"I doubt I'll be jumping, it's kind of hard when you have another person growing in you" I say

"Guess who I got a call from today?" He asks

"Who?"

"Your favourite French designer" Carlos says with a smirk

"NO FRICKEN WAY" gasping at the words he lets out, a huge smile forms on my lips

So basically, a year ago we were at a convention and met my most FAVOURITE designer from France. We had discussed potentially working together for a collaborated collection. It's my dream to work with him, he's AMAZING! He said he would get back to us and I can't believe he did, almost a year later.

"Ya, Emanuel called and was asking if our offer for the collab is still on the table. He wants you to go out to France and work on a few new things together for the grand opening of his new boutique there." Carlos explains

"SHUT UP! Carlos this is amazing! Omg I can't believe he actually called! This is like a dream come true" I say and give Carlos a huge hug of excitement

"I know, this is an amazing opportunity. But Mia you have to understand, your going to be away for almost 7-8 months. Living in a whole new country for almost a full year can be difficult, not to mention the amount of work-" I cut him off

"Carlos, this is my DREAM! It's not hard work when you love doing what you do" I say but he interrupts me with what he was going to say before

"Hunny are you forgetting your pregnant? How the hell are you going to have a baby when your abroad in Europe for work?" He explains

Oh ya, hah I forgot.... I'm pregnant :/

But that can't have any effect on this opportunity.... can it? Well Carlos is right, I can't be having a baby any minute while working around France.

"Mia why don't you take a few days to think this through. This is a really important decision because this is your future we're talking about. In both cases. So I don't want you to rush into any decisions at the moment. I want you to do what's right for YOU." Carlos says

"But Carlos, this is what I've worked for! This is why I do what I do! I can't just throw away this opportunity! I've been waiting years for this chance and finally I can do it with my favourite designer. How can I give up this opportunity?" I say with tears starting to fill my eyes

This is big, a big opportunity for my career, for our company. It's what I've always wanted.

"Mia, why don't you go home and rest. Don't stress yourself, rest a day and think about it tomorrow" Carlos says while embracing me in a hug

I wipe a few tears that have escaped my eyes
"Ok,"

"Alright, but just remember. You've worked hard to get to where you are now. Don't just throw it all away now" he says before he leaves going back to his office

I let out a puff of air and gather my things getting ready to head home. My head is full of thoughts and questions that I almost don't hear my phone ringing. I look at the screen and see it's a missed call from Dylan.
I honestly wasn't in the mood to talk at the moment and was heading to my car so I decide to call him when I get home.

Omg I'm so sorry for not updating sooner! Things have just been crazy busy! Promise, more to come
BTW: I changed Dylan's last name to Moore..... cuz just think about the future, Mia Moore (mi'amore) 😉 😉
Ok
Happy reading
Bye for now 💋
