Zelmirah

13 September, 15

" Morning Alfred." I greet the old butler as he smiles warmly at me.

" Morning , Little Lady. Had a good run? "

I nod and then cross my arms pretending to be upset , " What's with all of you calling me little this and little that ? "

He lets out a laugh ruffling my hair . " I have known you since the day you were born, so you will always be my little lady. "

I smile shaking my head and wave him goodbye as he moves towards the public part of the house.

Alfred was the Butler of the other half of the estate , he had a team of his own to work and and cater to the guest's needs.

I head inside greeting Raelynn and Verra on the way .

I go straight to the washroom and take a nice long bath. After drying myself, I put on my underwear and wrap myself in a plush white robe.

" Renée. " Verra knocks at the door and I turn around motioning her to come in.

Renée? Yeah It was my middle name, everyone who knew me in Wiltshire either called me Renée or had a nickname for me. My family and Brian and Asher were probably the only the ones who addressed me by Zelmirah.

" Yes, Verra? " I ask her as I dry my wet hair.

She fidgests with her fingers,
" There was this meeting scheduled for today in London with your mother's fashion house. She had been working very hard for the show but..."

She trails off at the end.

My mother was a fashion designer, she had been a model in her younger years. She ran the fashion line Katherine's .

" I am just saying that you should go. It was her dream show, we wouldn't want it to be abandoned now would we? " She asks and leaves me to think.

But how will I be able to fulfill her dream? I knew nothing about a fashion show, I was just good at picking up outfits - it came naturally to me. Naturally. Maybe I should give it a try.

I smile and head towards the closet looking for an outfit which would pass as a bit chic. Although I was more on the tomboyish side of fashion, dressing up a bit won't hurt me. I decide on a white sweater dress pairing it with a black leather jacket ( outfit on side )and my black & white converse and tie my hair in a ponytail .

I head out and Verra & Raelynn grin at me, " I already called the fashion house, that you are coming."

I nod as I grab the last keys of the range rover and head out as both of them shout good luck.

It's going to take probably two hours so I switch on the radio and immediately a Taylor Swift songs fills the car. I wasn't really aware of the music scene of the past few years because I had been too busy with the university and school but Verra introduced me to Taylor Swift. The songs were nice. I make a note to update my ages old playlist.

I sigh once I reach the store, and hope that it goes well.

My phone starts ringing and I see Brian's name flashing across the screen. I was sitting in a cafe, I had finshed at the store and I was really in need of some caffeine.

" Hey Brian." I greet him as I pick the phone.

" Hi Zel, you sound tired." I shake my head and smile , of course he would pick that up.

" Yeah. Been working at mom's store. There's a fashion show coming up. Lot of work to do. " I say truthfully.

It wasn't easy, I had been to the store many times before and I knew most of them , still it felt odd. But I was soon comfortable and it even started feeling like fun once I had settled but I was really tired.

He pauses after hearing my reply, " That's good. So it means you are in the city? "

" Yeah. " I hear a faint sound of someone saying that the flight was delayed. Wait, flight?

" You are at an airport? " I ask feeling confused.

I hear him sigh, " Yeah.. umm me and Ash are kind of leaving tonight so... " He trails off

" And you decide to tell me that, now? " I ask calmly.

" Ummm.Yeah. Sorry 'bout that."

I shake my head, Idiots.
" I will be there in half an hour."

" Alright. See ya."

I leave a tip at the table and start the car turning towards the road to the airport.

I laugh as I read Louis's tweet and favourite it.

Be careful lad, she has a perfect aim.
6:00 a.m

This was his reply to my retweet. What he was doing up so early was beyond me.

The tweet had got thousands of favourites and retweets.

I go downstairs and see Harry, Lux, Lou and Tom waiting for me .

" Heyyy!! " I greet them happily as I hug Harry and Lou and Tom. I kiss Lux on her cheek and pick her up. She was 3 now and it seemed almost unbelievable, it felt like it was yesterday she was so little and now she looked all grown up.

Where were we all going? Tom and Lou were going on a vacation, so me Lux and Harry were going to drop them off at the airport . Harry had called me in the morning asking if I wanted to come , so I was tagging along.

I had been staying at my parent's house and so were the boys but now we were going back to our own places and Lux would be staying with us. I still can't understand how Lou agreed to that. But both of them ( Tom and Lou ) deserved some alone time together so we had pleaded with them and promised them that we will take care of Lux and luckily Lux agreed.

I bid my family goodbye as we head to the car and drive towards the airport.
