After he is nowhere to be seen anymore, I turned to see if my family was still watching me, and thank goodness they stopped. So I use my shirt and rub the spot where Cloud kissed my cheek

Yuck

I have to deal with this when Cloud and I are together with my family, I jogged back to my home and everybody was waiting for me in the living room

Dad doesn't have that same face when he approved of Cloud back in the garage, he now has a deep serious thinking face on as for Mom she looked very worried. The look on all of my sisters' faces when they look at me has that reassuring look that I don't have to be nervous

"So.." That said it made me sit down at the chair at the other end of the rectangular glass coffee table

Cloud that jackass didn't even tell me beforehand he told my parents My subconscious told me in through gritted teeth, not literally but I can imagine it

"Cloud Marshall" he continued, the air in the room is so heavy like in my second I feel like I'm going to be crushed by it

"I'm not going to let you date him," he told me and my mother hit him at the back of the head

"You just don't want your daughter dating" Mom stated to all of us, I was nervous and confused at the same time. Mom saw my face and she leaned back on the couch putting both of her feet on the coffee table

"He just doesn't like the idea of you someday leaving the house and starting your own life" she explained and all of my sisters sigh in relief, I can tell that this is important because I am the first from one of my sisters who is now dating

I get that it is quite confusing as to why can't they just date like any normal person, they can but they have very high expectations because of novels and movies so any guy they would come across they would immediately turn them down.

Guys these days just don't come across our expectations much that is why it leads to some disappointments

Cloud was just not my ideal guy, heck he is the total opposite of it except for the fact that he is smart that is a great quality to have because it can redeem him a bit from his annoying attitude and I hate to say this but I have to agree when they say he has good looks

Handsome on fact

"What's with all this tension?" Aunt Laborè asked all of us as she enter the house in her office clothes

"Penelope is dating somebody without telling us!" Wendy explained to her loudly because Wendy was now in the other room

Aunt Laborè raised a brow at me in amusement as she observed all of us

"So you guys are having a meeting because Penelope is now dating?" She tried to stifle her laughter

"Of course, we have to sis, this is important" Dad answered her as he rubbed one of his eyes with his palms, Aunt Laborè sat beside me and gave me a small fist bump

She has that exciting look

"I have great news for all of you sisters, it's great that everyone is already gathered here to avoid the hassle" she pulled out something from her bag and it was her phone

"My boss has something to announce to all of you" she almost squealed while telling us, then she pressed the voice recorder button

"Is this on now?" I heard another woman's voice in the recording

"Yes miss" it was Aunt Laborè's voice that replied

"Alright, so hello Price sisters" she laughed a bit

Calling us price sisters sounded a bit ridiculous

"I have informed your Aunt about this but I feel like I should say it with my own words," she said before clearing her throat

Me and my sisters look at each other with puzzled looks, what does our Aunt's boss want with us? What we all know about Aunt Laborè's boss is that she is named Sophia and that she is a big influence in the fashion industry

There was one time when we searched about Sophia but she is wasn't shown anywhere on the search engine platform, nobody knows what she looks like but they will only say that she hides her identity because she is still not used to the spotlight even as a fashion designer for decades

"This next fashion show will be a big one so I will need you sisters as my muses"

We all gasped, me and my sisters have our eyes wide as saucers

"Am I hearing this correctly?" Caramia asked Aunt Laborè

She nodded and Caramia squealed with Ella as both of their hands are intertwined with each other with excitement

"I will be waiting at the mansion tomorrow so please get them ready Laborè," she asked Aunt Laborè in a sweet tone and she agreed

The recording ended and we all jumped up and down in excitement, this is the first time that someone is looking for us as inspiration for a big project

"Wait tomorrow?" I said in realization, Oh no

"We have to look our best tomorrow" Natalie let out, we all freaked out. Then all of us stormed to our rooms finding an outfit that we would plan to wear so we could make a good first impression on Sophia

"Girls calm down" Mom ran after us to our rooms and tried to tame us but we were still running around in panic, Natalie went out of her room carrying 2 different colored t-shirts one is red and the other is purple

"Penelope, which color looks better on me?"

I checked the colors

"The red makes you pop I guess that one," I told her quickly then I rummage all my clothes in my walk-in closet to look for a decent outfit

We heard a loud whistle throughout the house which caught our attention to go out of our rooms, Aunt Laborè was standing in the middle of the hallway like a coach

"Alright ladies listen up," she said loudly, we all went silent and stopped in our tracks

"I want you all to cooperate with me on this since my face will be ruined if one of you embarrasses yourselves at my boss, you embarrass yourselves you embarrass me" she seriously informed all of us, she gave Mom a nod and she snapped her finger three times

As we grew up, we were always told that when Mom snapped her finger three times we have to form a single-file line with the youngest at the front and the oldest at the back. It's like military but it works pretty well when you have 7 children in the house

"I want you all to bring out your best clothes in your closets and dump them in the hall, then I will decide which outfit suits you best" she crossed her arms and I can feel her fashionista self showing, her career is on the line here so it is understandable she will take this seriously

But in all honesty, we have never seen Aunt Laborè so serious in our whole lives. She is the type who is like that cool aunt that is carefree so seeing her so serious right now scares the shit out of all of us

We all followed her order and I chose all the best outfits I could find in my closet then dump them on the hallway ground, Aunt Laborè chose all our outfits

The whole night was just chaotic

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rise and Shine Ladies!!" I was startled awake by a loud microphone from the hallway, we were so tired last night that some of my sisters slept in the hallway while I slept on my cold bedroom floor leaving the door open

Aunt Laborè pulled out a blowhorn which made us now wide awake than the microphone, all of us groaned. This was supposed to be the weekend but I feel like I have to get up and work to pay off my bills

I was still half asleep when I slowly descend down the stairs, Wendy and Brie were wide awake while Natalie, Ella, and Adeline were fast asleep

Caramia was helping Mom prepare breakfast and as for Dad, he was whipping up some of his special pancakes that consist of a lot of diced fruits which by the way is very delicious. Aunt Laborè came into the dining room in full office attire that consists of her wearing full-on white pants and a vest with a black belt on the waist, silver dangling earrings with black stilettos, and an elegant low bun

"She's dressed up for her job very well," Brie admitted to all of us out loud and we couldn't help but to agree with her, I took a bite at the pancake that Dad made and drank the milk that Natalie served up

Breakfast was quiet in the house but outside was a different story other than some dogs barking and children laughing as they pass by our house it was a fairly normal morning at most, Dad was reading the morning article while Mom is listening to relaxing guitar music in her earphones

Brie and Caramia are talking about how they would put makeup on themselves but Aunt Laborè decided to tell us this right now, that and I quote

"No pop of color makeup, it needs to be natural"

After breakfast we started wearing out clothes that are specifically chosen by Aunt Laborè, she chose a plain white dress that reached my knees with a blue thin cotton cardigan that reaches my thighs

The clothes she chose made my frame smaller and I look thinner because of it

She styled my hair in a messy yet elegant ponytail and I wore two small dangling earrings that Natalie chose for me, Aunt Laborè later puts some hair on my face to frame it and added some light make-up to my face like those Korean types because she said I might pull it off

She gave me a white wedge strap on sandals, I looked at myself in the full body mirror. Everything that I'm wearing is casual but I now give off that sophisticated type

"Now you are ready" Mom muttered under her breath as she added a bit of lip gloss to my lip before heading to Caramia's room next
