Only Me and You

Chapter 1

"Yea I'm good and I'm feeling alright baby Imma have the best f***king night of my life….."

Bebe rhexas voice blared through the speakers as soft noises and thumps could be heard in the opposite room as Marie tried earnestly to focus on her work

"…. Baby don't you know I'm good and I'm feeling alright…."

"Hughhh" Marie sighed with a wistful smile on her face. wondering when it would end so she could finally concentrate on the sketches for her new desigh.

It had been 20 years since she had lost her parents in an accident and received the chaotic privilege of raising Benjamin and Victoria and the twins never lost an opportunity to prove to their sister that they were grateful to her for all her sacrifices.

Admist the crazy but sweet life the siblings lived, Marie pursued her passion in fashion designing (especially for wedding dresses), Benjamin ventured into the military much to the displeasure of his sister's while Victoria revered in dancing hence the loud thumping and singing that could be heard from the room beneath.

"I'm sure this girl does not plan on raising this building to the ground with all of this noise" Tia Marie's friend quipped upon her entry into the workshop/studio. To which Marie doubles over laughing almost knocking the mannequin beside her to the ground.

breathless from laughing, "you know how she gets when she starts training, I'm sorry" she said still wheezing from laughter.

"You're so lucky I love you guys", Tia replied admist the continuous laughter from Marie.

"Anyways I got something special for you baby" she said lifting up a slightly greasy brown paper bag dramatically to the now excited Marie.

Marie lunged to grab the bag when Tia withdrew her hand behind her" Ah ah ah, not so fast say that you love me and you can't do without me" sat it she retirieated sensing a reluctance from Marie

"Fine I love you.. a.. nd I can't do without you" Marie spat out sourly

Say "Tia is the best thing that has ever happened to me" go on Marie threw her an exasperated look before declaring dramatically with her manicured fingers on her chest

"Tia is the best thing that has ever happened to me", "happy now" she sneered

"No , I still need you to" Tia began before she was cut off...., "Oh please stop with the games already" Marie said snatching the bag of goodies from her now smug looking friend.

"You know you're silly right, she told her friend" with an already half eaten sugary milky doughnut in her hand. "Well what can I say you love me anyway" she replied with a sultry wink which her friend ignored.

Aunt Tiaaaa, Victoria exclaimed excitedly upon her entry into the workshop giving Tia a big hug. "I've missed you". Missed you too my darling" Tia replied

" I hope miss grumpy over here hasn't been bullying you hmmm" with puppy dog eyes, she said, "aunt you won't believe that she doesn't want me playing my music she complains it's too loud and chaotic" she complained, faking her tears

"Hughhh" Tia gasped dramatically, whirling towards her friend "Mira"… "Tia please you spoil this child too much" Mira exclaimed smacking Victoria on the arm.

"Ahhhh, aunt Tia you see…"

"Please I don't have the energy or strength for the both of you" while giving them both a dry look before going back to her sketch.

"Awwwwn me and aunt Tia love you very" "so much", Tia agreed as they enveloped Mira in the warmest hug.

"I don't know Kate To create a dress of this size we'll need as much bridal satin and lace as possible"

"Yes I know but it's possible, plus it's worth the risk"

Mia and her consultant discussed as they went through the fine details of the dress a customer demanded for her wedding ceremony.
