The Mistress

LX ➕ Epilogue

So I reached out to an old friend
I found Stacy on Facebook and contacted her
It was time and I think am ready

Stacy showed up by noon
She was as cranky as usual
After taking over twenty minutes to stroll round the house she joined me back in the living room

"This shit is crazy.... I can't believe you own this place, I can't believe you live here. Where did you find this dude. This motherfucker must be filthy rich"

"He's doing OK"

"Okay..... Look at you glowing like the morning sun"

I chuckled

"That happiness my friend "

"Motherhood suits you girl. You look so fine"

"Thanks babe.... I'll have Rosita bring her right away "

I stood up and called Rosita
Felix hired her back when she lost her job. And she has been really helpful and

Bella had her pacifier dancing in her mouth.  Her appetite is alarming, she's always hungry

"Awwn look at this cute little Tilda, she's so adorable and big too "

"I know right, she's draining me every minute "

She carried her in her arms and paced around the living room while I gave her a quick recap of everything so far

"She's so beautiful "

"Have You been listening to a thing I've been saying all day "

"Kinda..... But damn Tilda, You are so lucky girl... When you went MIA I thought you have arrested or something "

"Wow thanks Stacy "

"No am serious, I couldn't think of any reason why You would disappear like that after showcasing your designs at the fashion show and getting that much recognition "

"I guess it wasnt time then but it time now "

"Really "

"Yes.... I have decided that I want to open my own fashion line.  And I want you to join me, that's if of course you are interested "

she sat beside me and turn towards me

"Are You being serious "

"Yeah.    I love what I do and I miss it, after I designed my wedding dress I just can't wait to get back to it"

"Lemme see what it looks like"

I brought out the iPad and show her pictures of the wedding

"I can't believe.this.  You make such A beautiful bride, and this dress.. Damn! You made this..... Girl this is amazing. Why did you bottle all this up"

"Well I didn't exactly know I could do this, I just thought if I made mistakes It my dress.... I would wear it like that"

"Well am glad you didn't show any of this to Eleanor "

"Am really sorry about your job"

"Oh honey, its about time, Eleanor doesn't compliment her staff she uses them..... My job at the cosmetic store is a waste of time anyway. I spend all day filing my nails and watching the ad video over and over again"

"So.... Does that mean You're in"

"Of course I'm in "

"Great, so where do we start from"

"First we need a workshop, then we have to work on publicity.. I suggest we look for your old pictures from the  fashion show, along with your wedding dress. We could even use Bella has your model for baby's outfit
