52 - you are coming with me

December 20th 2015, Milan, Italy

I saw how my team worked their butt of to create the first release on this clothing line. The line would be called X by Eliana, i just felt like I represented me. Which I loved. I was proud of my designs but putting them to life was hard, but my team was amazing. And I learned so much, my models were hand picked and not to skinny and not to tall. Some of them were tall but I didn't pick the skinniest and tallest people I could find. We were just about to finish everything up and in a couple of weeks we are having our first fashion show for a bunch of important people that would review it and write about it.

"Hey are you Ellie?" I heard someone say and popped their head in to my office, I was standing with my back towards the person planning on jewelry for the outfits.

"That's me" I said and turned around and saw a small boy stand there and he was cute, he wasn't that tall but he had brown eyes and looked so kind.
"And you are?" I asked with a smile.

"Oh sorry, I'm Gabriel, your new photographer" he said and I was surprised that he was so nice.

"Oh sorry, hi it's so nice to finally meet you" I said and the thing was we were making a movie out of this or a short documentary that was gonna come out on vogues YouTube. A mini series which showed how we worked on this project.

"So what are your plans for this" he asked me and stepped in to my office.

"Well I don't really now, so let me now if you have any ideas. Uhm I guess just make videos of everything... follow me around I guess" that sounded weird in my ears. He nodded and smiled.

"So where are you from" he asked and I leaned against the counter I had behind me.

"I'm American, and you?" I said and he smiled.

"I'm from Ireland" which I could hear on his accent. I giggled and thought of Niall, I missed him he was a good friend and he was so nice. And then harry came to my thoughts again, I wanted to slap Harry for having me so far up his ass.

"Are you okay?" He asked as I looked down at the floor and sighed.

"I'm fine, I'm just going through something" I said and gave him a smile.

"You look hurt? are you hurt" he asked and I looked at him. I just met this person and he is already concerned about how I feel. I've meet so many people over the last two months but no one as asked me that.

"I am" I said and he gave me a nod.
"You know sometimes it feels better to talk about it, especially with a stranger" he said and I huffed. And walked over and closed my door to the office.

"my boyfriend, or ex boyfriend was kissing a girl in front of my eyes at a club two months ago. And there was I thinking I had found the love of my life, the father to my future children. Everyone kept telling me that the love we shared for each other was rare" I chuckled at the last sentence.
"But he was just like every other guy" I said and Gabriel huffed.

"Guys are horrible, that's why I stopped dating. You know what, screw him. I've never met Harry Styles but he can go fuck himself" he said and I was surprised he just admitted that he was gay and now he already made me feel better.

"so you've seen the magazines? And wait you're gay?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yes, and yes..." he said and I smiled at him.

"What do you say about going out for a glass of wine tonight?" I asked and he nodded.

"Girlfriend, yes" he said and I smiled at him. I finished up everything and so did Gabe he had been filming me talking to my crew. When I told them that they were doing an amazing job and I hope they're hanging in there. And I hope they have a great Christmas. I wasn't the grinch so of course was going to let my people go home for Christmas I was going home for Christmas. When I go to my hotel room I changed in to a pair of mom jeans with holes in my knees and a pair of Gucci sneakers and a black vintage band T-shirt. And a coat that reached to the middle of my thighs. Italy was cold but not freezing and there wasn't any snow. I texted Gabe and he gladly told me where to meet him and I took a cab to the restaurant and I saw him in a corner. I waved at him and he smiled before I was at the table.

"Well hello gorgeous don't you look amazing" he said and I giggled.

"Well thanks and so do you" he smiled and I sat across from him and we both ordered in a pasta and some red wine.

"How can he even cheat on you, like he's going to get any better. Look at you, your body is amazing and those eyes. Wow" he said and I chuckled.

"He cheated twice, the first time we wasn't together yet. But it still hurt" I said and he sighed.

"That boy has problems" he said and I couldn't take him seriously with that accent. We ended up talking until midnight before we decided to go home.

"What are you doing for New Years?" Gabriel asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know yet" I said and I wanted to go out partying. Get drunk on champagne and wake up feeling awful.

"What are you doing?" He shrugged and said.

"I don't even know what I'm doing for Christmas" he said and I looked at him.

"You don't go to see your family?" He shook his head.

"When they found out I was gay they kicked me out. So I've been on my own since I was eighteen" he said and I sighed.

"Oh darling you are coming with me" I said and could see how his eyes lit up.

"Seriously? Are you sure? You don't have to do that" he said and I shook my head.

"Oh shut up you're coming with me to L.A tomorrow and that's end of this discussion. I'll see you tomorrow" I said and jumped in my Uber and he waved me goodbye. When I got back to my hotel room I laid down on the bed again and I fell asleep. Extremely fast, but I woke up an hour later feeling like shit. I was too tired to take of my make up so I just stripped down and fell back asleep.
