Chapter 2
I wake up to the smell of a fried breakfast, lingering in the air. Just then, I realise mums home. I quickly jump out of bed and run downstairs to greet my mum.
“Hey mum!”
“Hey Lucy...Sorry I was late home last night. It turned out the nurse had broken ribs.”
“It's okay mum, I had an early night anyway. Oh and I had a walk to the park. I also bumped into Mrs Jackson, and she said sorry she hasn't called, she has been in bed with a migraine for days.”
“Oh, I will have to go round and see her later, or she will be worried.”
“Okay, Hmm breakfast smells good.”
“Thought we would need a big breakfast, seen as you are dragging me around town today.”
Mum dishes up breakfast, a combination of Sausage, bacon and eggs, one of my personal favourites. I eat it up as fast as I can, not wanting to waste any time getting into town. I been waiting a month to get a new dress, and I have got a few in mind, so I just hope that one of the shops at least has one in which I like.
After clearing up the breakfast dishes with mum, I head upstairs to get dressed. I grab some comfy skinny jeans and a pink top and get dressed. I would spend more time picking what to wear, but when we have little time to spare, I settle on what ever I think is comfy for what I will be doing. For shoes I pick my favourite pink high converse, in my opinion the best trainers I have ever had.
Bouncing downstairs, I see mum waiting for me already, handbag in hand. I run to my mums car, a sexy red Mini Cooper convertible, and jump in. With it being such a warm, sunny day, even this early, mum drops the roof, before pulling out of the drive. I grab my sunglasses out of the glove box and enjoy the ride, the feeling of the sun blowing through my hair. Like usual, mum lets me take control of the music, so I slip in my LMFAO CD and crank up the volume. Mum and I Dance and sing like mad, speeding down all the country roads to the nearest city.
The thirty minute drive seems to fly by, not feeling like thirty minutes have really passed. Mum pulls up at the retail park, a collection of all the shops I love to go in. After mum pays for the parking, I excitedly drag her to the first shop, New Look. The rails are packed with all types of clothes and colours. Mum and I look round, trying to find something for tonight, as well as a general look. I find plenty of nice clothes, mainly tops but nothing for tonight. The shoes are nice, but how can I buy them without my outfit. Nothing wrong with looking though.
Next we go into the small Lipsy shop, the few rails like New Look are full of amazing clothes. A sexy small dress catches my eyes and I race over. Looking at it closer it looks like it would push up my boobs, making them stand out more than they do. I hold it against myself, and look in the mirror, imaging how it will look on my small frame. I'm so engrossed in the dress I don't notice mum sneak up behind me.
“Oh Lucy that's nice, but it's a little short dear. Why don't we go look elsewhere and think about it?”
I sigh and reply, “It's fine mum, but nothing wrong with looking in other places first.”
I put the dress back, and move on to the next shop, called Next. I know, a strange name but yeah, that's what its called.. Mum drags me around all her types of clothing first, making me stand and give my opinion on what she picks up. I swear sometimes she really does my nut in, but I guess when it's her money, I just have to put up with it. Eventually she's done and I search the ladies' department for the dresses.
They have loads but none to my taste, all mainly for older women than I am. The shoes in Next also are not really to my taste either, they look too much like for women who work in a office or off to the beach, not for a good party.
