Capítulo 41: Chapter 41 - Made My Night
It was finally the beginning of August. The weather was warm in the day and cool in the night. The final preparations were underway for the shipment and transport of the wedding dress and suit. "Alright madam we made sure the trucks taking the dress is secured and the shipment is sealed in a cooled environment to keep the materials from losing its integrity."
I checked off all the shipment documents and let the team begin the journey from the warehouse to the exhibition hall. It night before the opening day.
I headed over to meet the team at the site after making a slight detour. Deans help with the latest release from my jewelry shop helped ensure we stayed on track as well as meet the demands of our higher profile clientele. He hand delivered the boxes just a few days before so all shipments were able to be sent.
So I wanted to gift him something to show my gratitude. I planned to also give him an IOU where any time he needed help I would provide but I also wanted to throw in something more material.
He was a big fan of streetwear so I went to the fashion district to see what I can find. Realistically I knew getting the exact brands he wears would be hard as many sell out quickly. But a few had brick and mortar shops I could check.
The shopping district was packed with tourists and residents alike. Many families stood huddled in groups taking in the scenery and taking photos of the architecture and art that lined the streets. I stared wistfully at them.
I was envious of large families, I thought because my heritage was partly Italian we would have more family than we do but alas most members in my family had only children or only one other sibling.
I drooped my eyes slightly at the scene as well. It reminded me of something no amount of money could gift me.
'Now is not the time to get lost in the wonderland that is my mind. I came here with a goal to complete.' I hit up a few shops and found some things he would like but his size was sold out. He was not even a common mens size, he had very broad shoulders and had high muscle mass due to him working out often. He was also tall and his torso was long. Because of his build and preferred fit usually the largest size would work but even then nothing was available.
"Sorry Miss but we do not have that size in stock." It was the fifth shop I went into and probably the umpteenth time someone had to tell me what I wanted was not available. 'No wonder he stays up late all the time. He probably stalks when these things drop so he can get his size.'
The air was getting chillier and time was running out as I needed to head over to the hall soon. 'I should have brought a better jacket.'
I did not anticipate staying out this late so my lightweight jacket which was perfect earlier stood no chance now as the wind was picking up.
"Maybe I should get myself something while I am at it." I headed into the last store which was a brand Dean also liked based on his social media following. If I remember right he also wore this brand as a coverup during baseball season in school.
Their designs were popular for it featured striking doodles and scribbled graphics. I saw a small section of hoodies with a white hoodie with a red anatomical skull drawn on the back and the company logo coming out of smoke from its mouth. It had a yellow paper crown on its head. "Looking for anything in particular?" A sales associate approached me holding some of the exact hoodies in her hand. Her whole vibe and outfit fit the aesthetic of the store.
"Actually do you have that hoodie in a size extra large?" She looked over at the small pile before checking the one in her hand. "Actually this is the last one. This collection just released last night so to keep us from getting swamped we set them out every few hours in the day. Did you just need this one?" I thought about it before I saw the a different version of the same hoodie. It was the inversion of the white one. Black base with a green skull and blue hat.
It was the last one and in a size small. Most of the clothes here were oversized anyways but nonetheless the small would fit just fine though I usually preferred a medium.
"These two should be fine." She rang me out and I raced back to the car after putting on my hoodie. I felt the goosebumps from the cold but warmed up instantly in the warm hoodie. These style of clothes was not my favorite but I needed something and something about the black hoodie called out my name.
By the time we reached the exhibition the team was already done with setting up the installation. Dean was walking around helping wherever he could.
"About time you get here princess! Here this is for you." He handed me a cup which what I thought was coffee was actually a hot chocolate. However before I could give him his gift he immediately noticed my hoodie.
He whistled and gave me a toothy grin. "So even her royal highness can get some street clothes. How did you manage to get this? You here to flex to me that even you got your hands on this. Man what type of alternate universe am I in, I was bummed out that I had to miss Gracelands latest drop."
He set down his coffee and turned me around to see the design on the back. "Wow you even got the design I was eyeing."
In that moment I felt really thankful every other store said no to the things I was looking at. "Well I did not come here to flex, since you did me a huge favor I wanted to get you something as a word of thanks. We D'Angelos never let a good deed go unnoticed or under rewarded. So...this is for you." I handed him the bag and his eyes lit up. He hurriedly opened the bag to see the the white hoodie.
"Fuck yes this was the exact color way I wanted!" He pulled his own hoodie off and put on the one I got him. "You seriously made my night Celeste."
The smile on my face froze. Why did he use my real name?
