'Miss Zoya, Maurice is getting your dresses ready upstairs.' One of the maids says, walking into the kitchen.
'Thank you, Brie,' Zoya replies.
I'm so excited to see how my dress looks. I think Zoya and Amira are as excited as I am.
'Are you going to Italy with them?' Matteo asks Jasmine.
'No,' she replies. 'Vittoria said it would be too much of a risk incase they recognise me.'
'She has a point,' Alora says.
'Well at least we'll be stuck at training camp together,' Matteo smirks.
Zoya, Amira and I make our way upstairs to her bedroom and we find Maurice standing there, with three other seamstress women getting our dresses ready on the mannequins.
They all look so amazing.
Mine is in the middle of all of them and it looks beautiful. Once again, Adriano has bewildered me with his amazing taste in dresses.
Amira walks towards her dress.
Zoya goes towards hers.
And I walk towards mine.
'Maurice you have outdone yourself once again.' Zoya says.
'I agree,' I laugh. 'These are beautiful.'
'Thank you Miss Zoya, and Miss Dilara,' Maurice replies.
'Can we try them on?' Amira asks.
'Of course,' he claps his hands and each of the female seamstresses come towards us with our dresses.
We walk into Zoya's huge wardrobe and they help us change into our dresses.
I look at myself in the mirror and my jaw drops. I look like a Princess.
'I look like a Princess,' I breathe.
'The skirt is also detachable, so if you need to fight you can move easily.' The seamstress says.
'Oh wow,' I say.
She shows me how to remove the skirt and I'm left in a short, fitted dress.
'But be careful not to pull it too roughly otherwise it'll get damaged.' She says.
'Of course, thank you,' I reply.
Zoya, Amira and I walk out together and towards Maurice.
'You all look so beautiful,' he says.
'Thank you,' We reply.
'How much does this cost?' I ask.
'Please, let us pay for it,' Amira says before Maurice could answer.
'As a gift,' Zoya replies.
I shake my head and sigh.
'The price Maurice?' I ask again.
'$25,ooo' he replies.
'Do you want it in cheque again?' I ask.
He nods and hands me the cheque. I sign it and give it back to him.
'Thank you,' he says.
I smile at Maurice and go back to change into my normal clothes.
I leave Zoya's room and make my way to my own so I can start packing.
I'm going to be taking two suit cases for this trip, we're leaving tomorrow morning.
I put my favourite jeans into the luggage along with some cute tops. I three fitted dresses and matching heels and bags for them.
I realise that I'm not going to be going around that much since we're only going to be planning inside.
I take a bunch of tank tops and sweatpants so I can be comfortable.
Next I need to pack my makeup.
**************
'I can't believe that I'm going by private jet!' I exclaim.
Mimi came upstairs to keep me company while I pack. She's still in shock from last night, shooting people isn't really her speciality.
'That's so exciting,' she replies. 'What city are you going to?'
'Milan,' I reply. 'Apparently it's supposed to be the richest city in Italy!'
'You're so lucky,' she sighs.
She straightens out one of the dresses in my suitcase.
'I wish you could come with us but it's too risky, I don't want to loose you too.' I say.
'I understand,' she replies.
'Where are you going to be staying?' I ask.
'My Aunts house,' she replies.
'Which one, Aunt Jennifer?'
'Yeah, she's a bit crazy but she means well, I'll also take Dynamite with me.'
'Well you should have as much fun as you can,' I reply.
'Face time me every second that you're free.' She says.
'I will,' I laugh.
She sticks out her pinkie and I hook mine with hers.
We finally finish packing and I bring down my luggage and put them by the front door along with everyone else's.
'Dilara, a word please.' Vittoria says.
I look at Mimi and she shrugs and I walk to Vittoria.
'Yeah?' I reply.
'Whenever you want to leave this house you must only do it with one of us with you.' Vittoria says.
'That's not fair!' I exclaim.
'I think it is,' she replies. 'Especially with your little incident last night.'
'That wasn't my fault,' I say through gritted teeth. 'You know it wasn't.'
'Of course,' she says carelessly. 'You just happened to bump into Detective Stevens again.'
'It truly wasn't her fault.' Mimi buts in.
Vittoria looks her up and down and turns to me, acting as if Mimi were never there.
'That's the decision that has been made, and that's what will happen.' She snaps, before walking away.
'Pequeña Mierda.' I snap.
Translation: Little shit
'Come on, everyone's waiting for us in the cinema room.' Mimi says.
We go to the cinema room and everyone's waiting for us so we can start the movie.
'The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' is on the screen, waiting to be played.
I go to my usual seat and find Xuan sitting next to me.
My usual Dr Pepper is in the cup holder, along with a cup of iced coffee. I also got some Nachos and sweet popcorn.
'Who did this?' I ask.
'You were taking long so I thought I'd get everything ready for you.' Xuan shrugs, smiling.
I smile softly at him and sit myself down.
'That's really sweet,' I reply.
'This is what friends are for,' he says.
I get comfortable in my chair and the lights dim. Lorenzo starts the movie and we all relax in each others company.
I won't be seeing Mimi, Matteo and Jasmine for three weeks.
I just need to pray that we all come back.
