Stuck At Default

WE ARE EVEN MATCHING.

"How's this.?" I asked.

As of now, we were sitting in my favorite boutique. I was trying on some dresses picked by my mom. Liv was out searching for some dresses for herself.

"Lavender doesn't suit you. I should have known. It suppresses you hair colour." My mom commented and I went back inside the changing room to get back in my clothes.

This time I decided to pick something myself. Just then a dress caught my eye, or more like its colour caught my eye. I picked out the dress. It was midnight blue long dress, with off the shoulder sleeves and thin straps connecting the front of the dress to the back which was low.

However, the neckline was low enough to show some cleavage and still look sophisticated. The silhouette was pretty simple, with slit running down the left mid-thigh. The dress was all over simple with just a thin high waist black belt.

"Okay, I think this one looks too good on you. You should totally get it." Liv commented. She was standing totally empty handed beside my mom.

"I was thinking the same. I'm going to get this dress for the party. Now how about we look around for some other dresses too." I said.

"This boutique has good collection. I think I'm gonna look around a bit too." My mom said.

After about an hour, all three of us were walking out of the store with our hands crammed with shopping bags and a store attendant was walking behind us with my dress in a cover.

"Oh, this was fun. I should visit Seattle more often. How I missed shopping with you darling." My mom said from the back seat as I was driving to the restaurant.

"I know mom, me too. But you still have your friends there to shop with." I teased her.

"Yeah, I do. But it is not the same as it is with you. You are my daughter." She said placing a hand on my shoulder.

"You won't believe Mrs.Parkinson. The kind of wild shopping sprees we used to have when we were in college. I have the best shopping memories with her and only her." Liv was beaming at me.

"Oh Olive, I told you to call me Elsa. And yes, I have heard all about the wildness you both had in college. Kinda reminds me of my own college days." She said, smiling at both of us.

"Well, now stop talking about my wild college days, both of you. I've embarrassed myself enough today." The scene from this very car, a few hours earlier came back to my mind and I blushed.

Liv gave me her famous 'side glance, raised brow, you better spill the beans' look. I could never hide anything from her. She reads my expressions like a book. I just smiled at her, knowing I would have to tell her everything.

We kept on chatting until we reached the restaurant. It was a small and cozy restaurant that Liv and I used to visit often. The owner was a lady who was too kind for her own good, and the sushi here was absolutely delicious.

We were halfway through our dinner when my mother decided to start her 'When are you going to find a boy to settle down with' rant.

"You must remember Elain, your junior from Stephen's High. She is getting married next month." She said.

Me and Liv exchanged a wary glance.

"And.?" I urged her to go on.

"And nothing. I was just telling you. You know she is just 23."

"Yeah, I remember that too. And mother, I know what you are trying to hint at." I replied, giving an exaggerated raised brow.

"Why don't you find a boy to settle down with too. Atleast, get yourself a boyfriend. See, Liv is so happy with her man too. Everyone is, except you." My mom said, now dragging Liv too in this conversation.
