I hurried down the street. I was running late, and that would never do. Mother was waiting for me at the restraunt. "Lunch at Hioki's, Rebecca. 12:00, don't be late!" She always reminded me not to be late, and I usually wasn't. I had learned long ago that upsetting mother was not something I enjoyed doing! Mother was a very strict cold woman. I suppose she had reason to be. Her husband had left her before I was even born. For his secretary. I think that was why mom was the way she was. She made sure I never made the wrong decision, and that I always behaved properly. And she made sure i was very careful about who I chose for friends, and dates.
Which meant I lead a very boring life. I got along well with everyone. At least everyone at work. I was a very successful accountant at the age of 25. But I had no social life. I had never had a date with a boy, I never had any girlfriends to giggle with. Mother made sure of that. She told me I was too good for all that nonsense. She also made me dress very conservatively. Young women weren't supposed to dress like tramps she told me. So I dressed as she asked me to. My closet was full of clothes much like what I was wearing today. I had a simple navy business suit on, the skirt reaching well past my knees. My top was a stark white shirt buttoned to my neck. My shoes sensible 1 inch heel pumps. My hair was pulled back tight in a severe bun.
Once I had worn my hair down, and had not worn the severley cut jacket. I had left the top two buttons of my blouse undone, and I had worn higher heels. My mother flew into a rage. She called me a hussy and wanted to know who's husband I was trying to steal dressed like that. I ran up to my room and fixed myself back to my dowdy appearance. Never trying to change again.
