Lucy***
"What's come over me?" Lucy asked herself. Mary was one of the people on Earth that she was closest with. She hated arguing with her, but also hated being judged, or being told what to do. Perhaps the finger was a little too extreme. Certainly there would be hell to pay if her parents had seen her. "Serves her right for nosing into my business" she thought. Lucy stood and looked into the bathroom mirror. This time she stopped and observed. Normally her mirror usage was a series of quick glances to make sure her hair and makeup were perfect. A beautiful blonde woman stared back at Lucy, but she wasn't pleased with her reflection.
"Where's my old glow? Where's the sparkle in my eyes? Am I becoming ugly?" She loved Kevin, and couldn't wait to marry him, but she hoped that he could stay interested in her until then. Until the deal was sealed. She turned on the shower and waited for the water to cool down. As Lucy slipped out of Kevin's tee shirt and sweatpants, she stood in front of her reflection wearing only her bra and panties. Her mood lifted. "I look OK", she said, "I look pretty hot, actually" She knew she wasn't fooling herself- ministers, even ministers-to-be weren't supposed to be hot, or be perceived as being hot, and that was the goal she was working toward. "But 21 year old girls are. 21 year old women, rather." she thought as she removed her intimates.
The water was finally 'just right' and she climbed into the shower. At first the warm water reminded her of being a child. Splashing though the rain, laughing and jumping into puddles. She closed her eyes and smiled. But she wasn't a little girl anymore. She was a woman. She watched the water splash onto her shoulder, and run along the perfect curve of her breast. Lucy had never paid much attention to her breasts, but she knew they were beautiful. She wondered if Kevin thought so too. Or is it wrong for him to be sexually attracted to a minister-to-be? It occurred to Lucy that could be the glow that was missing- the touch of a man. To feel loved, desired, and appreciated. She knew that Kevin loved her intelligence, but what about her physical beauty? She continued to look at her wet, nude body and began to think of Kevin sharing the shower with her. That thought made her feel warm and breathless. The feel of his hands and the warm water. His soft kisses, and holding her tightly"
"HURRY UP, LUCE!" her mother's muffled voice rang through the heavy door. Lucy snapped back to reality. Just like the mud-puddle jumping years ago, the air-raid siren that is Annie's voice would put an end to Lucy's fun that day. "OK, OK...Give me a second" Lucy called back. She stepped out of the shower and slipped on her bathrobe. Wrapping her wet hair in a towel, she looked in the mirror one last time. "I am beautiful", she told herself and walked out.
