Day #7: Formal
Characters: Asami
Setting: Before LoK
7/12/11
Every one of her father's parties was the same. She had to smile and act like she was excited to be there with a bunch of creepy old men that smelled like old cigars and liquor.
Her father always insisted that she come to them, and he would drop hundreds of yuans on new clothes for her to wear, knowing full well that once he bought them, she would feel guilty if she didn't go.
Normally, she hated formal parties. They weren't her. She would rather be out on the racetrack kicking butt than keeping up appearances with people three times her age. There was never anyone to talk to, so she would content herself with sitting in the corner and drinking one glass of wine.
The only part she enjoyed was dressing formally.
This particular night she was wearing a deep burgundy dress that flowed to the floor and hugged her curves. It had a high neckline in the front with gold embroidery around it, and a plunging back, exposing her porcelain skin. She wore a few golden bracelets, and a ring that had once been her mothers. It was simple, yet stunning in it's own right.
She loved the rich looking dresses and fancy jewelry that her father would buy for her, as a bride to come to the party. But not because she was a excited to wear a dress or anything like that. No, she loved them for a completely different reason all together.
The formal clothes reminded her of her mother. Although she had very few memories of her, she always remembered peeking around the door when her mother was getting ready, just to see that she was going to be wearing that night and trying to pick wear something that was like it. But Asami had been so young, and her clothes were adorable, and her mother's clothes were lovely.
Her mother had always looked so beautiful and elegant, and Asami had always aspired to reflect something of her mother. So now, when her father asked her to dress formally she would in the hopes that maybe someone would look at her and think that she reminds them of her mother.
I feel like my drabbles are getting shorter and shorter. Gahhhhh. I'm going to need to work on this because seriously, they're really short.
Review please!
