4. A trench coat

" When I get outside from school, I will go check the new mall, and new season's fashion arrivals".

" Ok Lilia, because your father will take a long time to arrive there".

"Yup I know".

Ahh I really hate seeing those Muggs smiling at each other. I mean it is beautiful, but if it was me and some man I love; crossing my arms with. whatever! It is hot today, it feels so much like spring, while we are still in winter.

Me at one of my favorite brands' stores...

Right before getting outside, the gate alarm system started screaming, and suddenly the attention seeker, me, got all the attention; all the eyes were on me as if I did steal something, why it felt like I seriously did. The feeling is bad, it is like when you accuse someone of a crime and he is innocent, but people all pointing at him, will make him believe that he has done a crime. My hands started sweating, I felt hotter than ever. And I was asked to be checked. They checked my bags, and then the security guy asked me if I was wearing any clothes of that brand. Thankfully, I have got my tongue to speak.

" Yes, this wool dress, it is from that brand".

" Oh I see, we are sorry for any misunderstandings..."

" Wow Lilia, it is so freaking embarrassing ! run!!!!" What I said to my brain. " I would never run to this store again" I added.

I left the mall right away, as if I murdered somebody unconsciously.

"I really hate going shopping alone, I always fall into embarrassments", what I said to myself again.

Later on with mom on the phone...

"Did you see any trench coats like you wanted there?".

" No, I did not find what I wanted, but I did find many pants, and sweat shirts, really good turtle necks too"

" You want a trench coat my daughter not many pants, where you have tons in your closet"

"Whatever, I need other two pair of jeans"

"You have 17!"

"Not that much..."

"We, will talk about it later".

After few days me thinking about Leonardo DiCaprio again when he was casted in Romeo and Juliet, where I fell for the first time in love with an actor, fantasizing about that lawyer who I met few days ago, who he looked too much alike. "Stop Lilia ! not now!!" I said and went back to my consciousness.

Few days later...

"Mom let' s go to buy a trench coat, I really need one!"

I went to the mall again with mom, before going to school.

If you are asking what do I do in school. Obviously I'm not a pupil!

I' m an English teacher, and It is not my dream job. But I love my pupils. I treat them with kindness and love, they seem always damaged pyschology, I believe it is mandatory for a teacher to be understandable.

" I really love this trench coat mommmmmm" Told mom without seeing the price tag.

" Well it is like you wanted to be, a very good quality, classic, beige, long and comfy, look so much like detectives coat, exactly as you wanted to be"

Mom said.

" Yes, exactly!"

" But look at the price tag, it will cost you all the money that you kept after getting paid" Mom added.

" Hmmm, around 60$, no problem, I will spend it all on myself"

" You really love yourself" Mom said smiling.

" Don' t I !? " I smiled saying.

" Go and try it "

I tried all the three colors, Caramel, Beige and army green. Doing runway after another between the fitting cabins. Many girls were staring at me, I was happy. But who cares!

I looked classy, and I told mom " I think I'm going with the beige" .

"Hell yeah!

The beige is more classy, it will go well with my winter outfits, and goes well with the lawyer, we will look fabulous together" I said to myself surprisingly, as if I was speaking from my subconscious. I laughed and added " I'm saying nonsense, and looked again to the mirror, you know Lilia! Hahahah Stop creating another story, not again! ".

I bought that Trench coat and it looked good on me, like hell good. I did wear it for the first time when we went to his office again!

do you know what happened later?

How it did went??

expect all sort of things. It's always good but it will hurt too...
