Another Typical boring day in my typical boring life. Honestly can my life get any worse. I Miss Fleur Williams am infact eighteen years old. Now most eighteen years olds are out clubbing with their friends and enjoying life. But oh no not me. I'm sat in my mothers bedroom while she asks me if her dress makes her look fat. I really do hate playing the does my bum look big in this game because no matter what answer i give her i always end up losing. For some reason she's worse than normal tonight. You'd think she was dating some hollywood superstar. I think it's horrible dating at her age...i could be scarred for life because of her. She tries wearing my clothes and tells me all the gory details about her dates. My therapist will love her for keeping him in business. Mind you thinking about how much she's been spending on shopping sprees lately i may not be able to afford one.Note to self..must escape this house and soon! Finally she's out of her wardrobe.
"So what do you think?" she asks me with a huge beaming smile on her face.
She is wearing a sleek black dress with neckline that plunges all the way to cuba, and she's wearing My favourite silver four inch stiletto heels. It's definatly not a mom outfit. I doubt my mother has ever heard the expression mutton dressed as lamb.
"Well..."i start being very careful not to upset her "aren't you a bit old for that dress?"
A look of outrage spreads across her face and she stomps off into her ensuite bathroom. Maybe i should practise being more subtle when i'm trying to put things gently. But then she does have a tendancy to over react. She's such a drama queen! Thank god i don't take after her.
She pops her head out from behind the door and throws the dress on the bed managing to hit me on the head with it. It's really terrible the way she treats me. The door bell goes and surprise surprise i'm the one who has to answer it. As i head down the stairs i can hear her running about getting ready again. Hopefully this time she's dressing her age. I open the door to find some old man with white hair. He's a little on the chubby side and he's wearing a nice designer suit. Maybe mom's finally acting her age and this one seems rich. He's not good looking but then again..neither is my mom.
"Hi" i say in that polite little angel tone.
"Woooo you must be Fleur!" the old man screeches.
I've never heard such a noise in my life. Mom's going to be deaf by the end of their date. I struggle trying not to laugh but being as lovely as i am i turn it into a beaming smile and invite him in. As i turn round Mom is making her dramatic enterance down the stairway. Her long brown is down to her shoulders. She's going gray really but she's determined not to show it. The black dress is gone and now she's wearing a more respectable black skirt and jacket with a white shirt. She turns round and i see the huge split up the side. I really do give up!
"Oh" she says brightly "i see you two have met"
"Honey you look stunning...no way you're old enough to have an eighteen year old daughter!" he exclaims.
I stare at them both for awhile but they haven't realised i'm here. Charming! Five mintues with a new man and i'm forgotten about. I cough loudly and they both turn to look at me.
"Oh sorry Darling this is my new boyfriend" she starts witha huge smile.
A Boyfriend at her age! Mom never calls me Darling and she never ever smiles she always either angry or depressed moping about the living room and making me cook my own dinner. There must be somthing special about this one.
"Ric Flair" she finishes
Ric stares at me waiting for a reaction. Is that supposed to mean somthing to me?
"The wrestler..." she continues "you know the wwe.."
Great so my mothers so called new boyfriend is some old man who prances about a ring in too tight clothing. And to top it all off she didn't ask my opinion first. I really don't like him and neither of them are paying attention to me. Mom walks out the house without even a goodbye.
This relationship will never last, my mom is meant to be single and she's meant to think about me not some chubby wrinkly old man!
