One Day In Your Life

Expensive Dreams

"Mum", I complained playfully, "I'm really not in the mood for shopping".
"Then I force you to sweetheart", she stopped before opening the door, "There are so many people out there who would be lucky to go shopping with their mum's, so don't be so stubburn".
I sighned loud, "Where do you think I have this from?", I chuckled.
I could've complained forever and it would all end up that she at least pick me up and carried me to the car, but not this time, I thought and kept myself silent.

"We're gonna buy you some nice dresses", she smiled starting the engine.
"We have early october mum", I glared at her fixing my seatbelt.
"I'm sure it's still a nice weather in the United States, and if not than take some tights with you".
I narrowed my eyes, where did she get the information?!.
She really must be some kind of agent, and my house is probably filled with unseen cameras.
"Ok, who told you?", I asked annoyed rolling my eyes.
"Well, I met your friend Sina on wednesday, so we talked and then she told me about it".
"Mhm", I groaned still staring out of the window.
I really love my friend but she just can't shut her mouth once.
I decided not to ask further in case of giving more anwers, I just hope that we'll arrive soon at the shopping mall.

"How about this, Diane?", my mum shouted through the entire shop holding up some kind of, dress?
"Mum you're in the men's section", I slapped the palm of my hand against my forehead feeling my cheeks burn.
"I thought we're looking for some dresses", I stepped closer to her, "Dresses for WOMEN", I hissed.
"Yeah sure honey, but you also need some pullover when it's getting cold... and this one looks nice", she smiled an innocent smile.
"Mum!", I grabbed her arm, "It's the men section here, come on".
"At least it's warm when it's getting cold", she explained.
"Ok let's get out of here", I facepalmed and got out of the shop.
"Now let's go to one of I like to".
"Anything you want my dear", she giggled.
I turned to face her. The species Mum is a very confusing type of wild animal, especially this one.
"Oh mum", I chuckled.

"Wow", my eyes started to sparkle.
"Mum?", I called, "Where are you?".

"Here sweety, did you find something nice?", she asked walking towards me.
"Yes, oh god look at this one", I said holding up a knee length dress in a deep royal blue with a thin nude coloured belt around the waist area.

"We're gonna get you this", she said looking at it, stunned.
I turned it to look at the price tag, "No mum, look that costs a fortune".
"Let's see if it suits you", she said after a pause, pushing me towards the dressing room.

"Are you ready?", she said shaking the side of the curtain.
"Just a moment", I mumbled fixing the belt.

"So, here I am", I said stepping through the cabin spinning around, "What do you think?".
"That looks so awesome", she said looking at me up and down.
"But wait, don't move", she stepped behind me for fixing something on my back.
"Ouch", I whimped as a tiny little something scatched my shoulder, "What are you doing?".
"Nothing", she said short, "And now get dressed we still have a couple of shops to go", she mumbled pushing me again through the curtains.

"Could you hang that back to it's place, please?", I asked handing her the dress.
"Sure", she walked off.

As I finished getting dressed back into my casual clothes my mum was no where to be found.
"Mum?", I called looking around.
I'm sure she's again in the men's section looking for stuff for me.
"I'm here Diane", she called waving from the outside of the shop.

"So you've found something yourself", I smiled looking at the bag in her left hand.

"Yeah", she shrugged with her shoulders, "Just a shirt", she said pulling at the piece of it showing me.
"And again something in black", I chuckled looking at it.
"You know I love black", she said proudly.
"Anyway, I'm in the shoe shop over there, I want to look for something", she said pointing at the shop across the aisle.
"Ok, and I'm in that shop", I smiled pointing at the opposite shop.

She started laughing as I walked towards her, "Did you buy the entire shop?", she chuckled.
"Just some random stuff", I said looking at my two large bags in each hand.
"And what about you?".
"Oh, some loafers for the house", she smiled as I noticed the large shoe box in another bag.
Really some loafers?, she never really wear some of them.
"Ok, show me".
"When we're back home", she smiled looking at her watch.
"Do you have everything you need?".
"Yup and you?", I asked.
"Yes, then let's go back home, I'm exhaused", she giggled.

~Back At My Parents House~

"Promise that you'll visit me before you'll drive to the airport tomorrow?!", she said looking in my eyes, her own filling with tears.
"I will mum", I smiled hugging her tight.

"Ok see you tomorrow, I love you Diane, and be careful", she smiled raising her finger.
"Love you too mum", I sighed walking off.
