It's been weeks since that wonderful night in this very same room and we have not got so close again. We have been very busy for the fashion week and everything turned out great but also very stressing. I gave a week off to everybody in the company just like I always did so that when they return, they will work again full blast. I've been missing Ira it's been a week and she stayed in New York to study Law. I can't do anything her schedule is keeping her away from me, we decided that she'll come home every week to spend time with each other which turned out to be staying home and I just sleep and she just studies up to morning. Now this is the end of vacation and we have to return to work and me returning to my old routine. I got up from the bed and went to the showers alone, since its Monday Ira left yesterday to the city. I clean everything from head to foot and then went out to find some new attire for the day. I remember the clothes I brought from France and it's kind of gypsy looking top and a fit pants matched with a sandal, my top is a off shoulder so I have to set my hair into a ponytail to reveal more of my shoulders. I went down have some breakfast, go to my car and drive myself to the company. " Lea!" someone shouts, I turn around and I saw my sister. She is Andrea we haven't seen each other for about 5 years but we still in contact and let her know what is going on in my life. " Oh my God, Love is that you?" " Yes! And who do you except I would be?" " You look so beautiful" " And so are you, what are sisters all about" " Yeah right" " So you still call me Love and you just can't take it out of your mind" " Love since our mom died I always call you Love `coz you are the love of my life, you are like mom to me" " I know and I'm happy for that. So how's Ira?" " She's good, she's in New York but she'll be back on Saturday" " How's Christian?" " He's in his office I'm sure, why don't we get inside and talk everything in there" " Sure, I loved to" I missed her so much when our father died I haven't seen her, she travel almost every year for her hobby and of course profession. She is into photography, maybe she used it to forget what happened and here she is walking with me and looking very pretty. Everybody in the company doesn't know her and maybe wondering because we don't look like sisters. I very much look like our dad and she looked exactly like our mom so there is a big difference. " Andrea?" Christian saw her from a distance " After all this years Chris you still recognize me" " Why don't I recognize you if you look so much like Aunt Belle" " Don't joke around Chris it's the first time we've met since 5 years" " I know and don't expect me to be nice to you" " It's like old times, I really missed you" " I've missed you too" they laugh and embrace each other " Ok we have plenty of time later, why don't we get to work" I interrupted " Ok I'll drop by your house later" " Sure" then Chris left " Lea you look so grown up and I like your dress" I closed the door behind us " Thanks and I bought it in France" " Can I have a photo of you wearing it?" " Sure why not, do you have a camera?" " Are you kidding me, of course I have" She took some shots and then concentrate on my dress, and then she puts her hand on the button and clicks it for about a hundred times. Then something came out of my mind. " Love?" " Hmmm?" " Why don't you work for me?" " And what will I do, I don't know anything about this business" " You just do what you love to do" " And what is that? You know I only love photography" " Exactly, you'll take pictures of my models for the catalogues" " Sounds good" " Ok, you're hired" We had lunch and talked about the places she has been and I told her that I do love to go to those places. But I don't have time, I'm stuck with my work and of course I can't leave by weekends because that is the only time I spend with Ira. Then she said that she would make an excuse for me for some shoot and tell everybody she needs me. I kind of agreed if that would mean living my work, but she said it's ok for it's just for 2 days or more. We laugh and laugh on things until we remembered that I still have work to do. We hurried to the car and went to the company and everybody is waiting for me for I announced that I have something to tell them. The room is filled with employees and everybody in the company. " Today is a very special day for me and you know why? Because for 5 years she came back and for those who didn't know her shall address her for she is the other owner of this company." Everybody is looking at each other " I won't wait you any longer for the new photographer and a part owner of this company, please welcome Andrea Missoni!" Everybody applauded and I saw the pride in my sister for she is now a part of the company our father built. I am so happy for her so I decided to celebrate it. " We are leaving early" " Why?" " Because we need to celebrate Love" " But I still have my clothes in the hotel" " So let's get it" She packed all her clothes and checks out the hotel then I bought her home. I put her bag in my room and told her that she must sleep with me now. " I'm sure you miss having someone to be at your side while you are sleeping." " Yeah, I miss Ira" " Don't worry it'll only be a week and you'll see each other again, so you told her about me?" " No, she doesn't know that I have a sister roaming the world" " And why?" " We've been together for only 2 months and she doesn't know anything about my family" " Maybe you should tell her" " I know" " So I thought we are going to celebrate" " I don't know maybe tomorrow, I'm tired and look Chris isn't coming anymore because he told me that Toby has a fashion show and he has to be there, I'll leave tomorrow and we will stroll around Hollywood studios tomorrow, is that ok with you?" " Yes, so let's sleep" " Go upstairs and wash yourself while I make this dishes" " Sure, don't be too long" " Yes" She went upstairs and I wash the dishes then after that I went upstairs also and had a bath then I went to the bed and lay beside my sister. I am so tired that I haven't notice that someone entered the room, then I saw Ira standing at the door looking at me and tears fall down on her shocked face. " Honey! What happened to you? Why are you here? Why are you crying?" " You are asking me why I'm crying! I drive all the way here to surprise you but I didn't expect that I will be the one who's going to be surprised" " Surprise of what?" " That the one I love is sleeping with someone else!" " Who?" I'm a bit sleepy so I didn't know what she is talking about " Maybe she is talking about me," someone said at my back, then I remembered that Andrea is with me " Oh, Love" " Then you call her Love!" " Ira let me explain" " You don't have to explain everything I've seen it all, we're through" " What?" I haven't got a chance to explain it because I'm shocked and Ira went straight to door and slammed it. Then Andrea hugged me and I cried in her arms, I don't know what to do Ira left me and believing that I betrayed her. I just can't say anything until I fell asleep in the arms of my sister. Love it? I don't know what went there. I just wrote it but if you like to know more write me and tell me what you think. Feel free and I'll write you back. Here is my e-mail add havenantoine@hotmail chow!
