CHAPTER 20

LAILA

I got home from my morning and afternoon of pampering at the hotel around four o’clock, which gave me approximately three hours to get ready for tonight’s fashion show. I could hardly contain my excitement. Usually when it came to shows, I was backstage and full of nerves while I underwent hair and makeup. I never got to experience it from the perspective of someone in the audience, and Storm had managed to score us front-row seats to the event. Being able to sit front row and cheer on the up-and-coming models would be such a blast, and I was so grateful I’d have Storm by my side.

The designer for the show was a new name on the scene making big waves. Her name was Ellice Knight, and she and her husband had started designing plus-size lingerie and loungewear after she had her first baby and struggled with her changing body. Her husband, Drew, who grew up in a family of girls and helped them make their dance costumes every year, turned to his trusty sewing machine and made pieces for his wife that he thought would make her feel as magnificent as he thought she was.

A few years later, here they were making a name for themselves in an industry that was damn near impossible to break into.

I loved that Storm had accepted their invitation to the event and wanted to support his competition. That was something that had definitely been lacking and I was keen to see him put action behind his words. He’d stunned me with his respectful chivalry last night. Who knew what was in store for tonight?

I took my time getting ready for the evening and waited for Lexi to arrive, who’d also been given a ticket to the show. At first she hadn’t seemed all that eager to come with Storm and me, and I’d offered her another ticket to bring someone along with her, but she hadn’t had anyone to invite. So we were going as a trio.

At a big event like this, it would give me peace of mind to have Lexi with me. If the paparazzi knew I was going to be there, they’d be staked out, ready for their chance to get a shot of me arriving.

My door buzzer rang right when I was about to take the curlers out of my hair. Without thinking, I held down the speaker and bellowed for Lexi to come on up. I unlocked the doors and went back to my vanity, where I unrolled my curls and gently brushed them out. My front door opened and I called down the hall that I was in the bedroom.

A few seconds later, a woman who was not Lexi poked her head around the corner.

I blinked at my little sister. “Casey?”

She gave me a crooked smile. “Hey. Got a second?”

“What do you need now?”

Casey looked at me like I’d slapped her.

“Don’t look at me like that, Casey.” Annoyed, I pushed away from my vanity and went to the dress I’d picked out of my closet and hung on the back of the door.
