More Than Words

I suddenly hear a flirtation whistle coming from the car I was expecting to ride; it was Ginger as she noticed my look today, I smiled as I opened the door and entered. “Where are we going today Queen Elizabeth?” Ginger said to me as she laughed. “LOL! I have great news for you Gee.” I replied as I laughed. “Zayn messaged me and he said that the boys will be joining us today in our meeting.” I said as I looked at Ginger, waiting for her reaction. “No Way! Oh god I am so glad my conscience convinced me to dress up sharply today as well! LOL!” she replied as she started jumping in her seat, while I laughed at her action. Ginger was indeed in good presentation today, she was wearing dark green- skinny jeans, with a neck strapped white-buttoned top, and white pumps. Her hair was perfectly straightened and her makeup was professionally light.

We reached the hotel at 9:30 because of the light traffic that was ahead of us, but we managed to go upstairs with Robert as usual and entered the Little Mix’s sweet. “Good morning girls!” the band announced as we entered and waved our hands to them in a greeting motion. “Listen girls I am afraid to announce that Perrie won’t be joining us today since she is tired from yesterday’s events. So instead we will make sure that she gives her choices directly to your boss, Stina, if that’s ok?” the girls talked in quietness and consideration looking at both Ginger and I. “Sure, well as long as it is talked over with our superior, then we are ok with that.” Ginger said as she tapped my shoulder with her, as in to remind me of yesterday with sarcasm. “Well girls, please just look over these sample catalogues and do tell mark your choices with your name beside them so we can start our work from tomorrow.” I blabbed professionally after that Ginger waited for me to say something. “Right on it Violet thanks you.” The girls replied in a sweet voice as they reached to catalogues. We just sat down beside the girls on the sofa they were on, while we looked over the samples too and guided them with our advices as designers. “Ring! Ring!” my phone went out load, as I directly reached to grab it from my bag, and picked up the phone with no sight to view the caller:

...............

Zayn: “Good morning Violet; I hope I’m not barging in at you right now.” He said sweetly as my teeth bit my lower lip from excitement and nervous.

Me: “Good morning, and please don’t mention it since I am already in our last session with the Little Mix right now, so I really don’t know ...” I replied as I tried not to make it obvious for the band girls although Ginger looked at me as she understood and smiled quietly.

Zayn: “Oh god, I’m terribly sorry Violet I just wanted to tell you that feel free to come to my sweet from now since the boys are here and we are chilling; just try to if you can Violet.” Zayn replied and I sensed that he was being needy and wanted me to come as soon as possible.

Me: “Well, I will check now and if you see me soon you’ll know that I can, otherwise I will arrive as scheduled.” I replied to him as I wanted to make things seem like I was on business call.

Zayn: “Alright: hopefully I’ll see you soon then.” Zayn said in a squeaky disappointment voice, yet calm.

...............

After we closed the phone together, I looked down as I thought for 2 seconds, thinking of a solution to get out and yet finish our session faster, and then it hit me like lighting. “Girls, I was talking with a client and we need to have an urgent meeting as soon as possible; so how about you take my email and Ginger’s as well, and send us the names of the fabrics please? It is only because we both have another meeting to be honest, and it is kind of urgent.” I said sounding serious and deep down I knew I hated myself for lying, but Zayn’s voice on the phone made it sound like the right thing to do. “Jesy? Leigh-Anne? I basically don’t mind... neither do we and we all understand really.” Jade started as the all finished the reply together. “Great! Thank you girls! Let’s go Violet... Lol! Our (client!) is waiting!” Ginger jumped while she supported me in my excuse with a sarcastic style.” Right! Farewell!” I said as I copied Ginger’s fast action in grabbing my bag and walking to the door. “Bye Lovelies!” the girls screamed as we tried our best to walk in our heels as quick as we can.
