Chapter 8- Metamorphosis
As Lucy was dressing, her telephone rang. She marveled at how it always rang at the most inopportune times. "Hello", she answered. "Hey baby, how's my future wife?" Kevin's voice crackled through the receiver.
"I'm OK, just getting ready to go to the library, tons and tons of work to do"
She lied. She didn't like it, but she did. Lucy couldn't believe herself-- she didn't have very much studying to do at all. Maybe she had about an hour's worth of reading, but not much more. She couldn't stand the thought of driving to Hollywood tonight, and hoped Kevin would get the impression that she was busy and let her off the hook.
"Oh, well...you're welcomed to come over when you're finished. If you want to...if you're lonely." Kevin continued, "I will really miss you if I can't see you tonight".
"Oh shit", Lucy thought as she rolled her eyes, "here comes the lowly- lonely Kevin guilt-trip."
"Kevin, I really don't know if I feel up to it tonight. I've had so much to do lately, and I've really been slacking on my studies. Things are going to hell in a hand basket while I'm trying to plan this wedding, and..."
"Oh, so what you're saying is that you're too busy to see me? I understand." Kevin interrupted.
Lucy saw red. How typical of a guy to think he's the center his lady's universe? She thought about how wonderful it would be if Kevin based his entire life around her schedule. "It would either be wonderful or frightening", she thought. Her mind continued to explore that thought as Kevin continued to pout on the other end of the phone line.
Lucy imagined a life where everyday Kevin brought her flowers, told her she was beautiful, and treated her like a queen. After all, after her shower-epiphany Lucy realized that she IS special. She is beautiful. She deserves to be lavished, cherished...touched. Held. Kissed. Caressed.
"I guess I'll just play Nintendo, and I'll catch up with you tomorrow" Kevin said, sulking.
"No Kevin, forget it. I'll be over when I'm finished studying", Lucy said, surrendering.
"Really!? Do you mean it!? Oh, thanks Luce, you're the best! I can't wait to see you tonight!", Kevin smiled.
"How pathetic", Lucy thought. "Maybe he can get away with that pouting nonsense with his mom, or his sister Patty Mary, but I just think it sounds silly. Wait a second? What the hell kind of a name is Patty Mary??"
"Maybe we can go get a bite to eat tonight too! I'll talk to you later, sweetie! I love you!" Kevin spat out as the phone disconnected.
As sure as the dawn lights the morning sky, Lucy saw things crystal-clear for the very first time: Kevin acts like that because he thinks that's what Lucy wants to hear. All the humble-bullshit, and goody-boy behavior he exudes serves to impress Lucy in his mind. That idea irked her.
Lucy looked in her closet as her mind churned.
"Welcome to the twenty-first century, Kevin." she thought, "I am young, beautiful, and deserve to live my life to the fullest. With all of the stuff going on in the world today, I should enjoy myself! I should dance, and I should play! I should see what this world has to offer, while I still can!"
"Kevin wants to go to dinner,eh? Maybe he'd like to see me work a dance- floor too. Perhaps then he'd pay attention to more than a Nintendo controller in his hand, and whatever food he's shoveling into his mouth. I'm gonna show him the other side of Lucy Camden!"
She pulled a tight black dress out of her closet, and held it up to her curvaceous figure. Perfect. She sat down at her makeup mirror, and penciled on her eyeliner. Sexy. While she did the rest of her makeup and hair, Lucy thought of how exciting it would be to charm the hell out of Kevin tonight. She enjoyed looking good, and hoped he'd enjoy her. She also realized how she enjoyed using a bit of obscene language too. She decided that this side wouldn't come out very often. Oh, when it did though, watch out. Lucy Camden- wild child. She slid into her heels, and looked in the mirror one last time. Smiling, one of those songs that Simon always had blaring popped into her head.
"Girls rock your boys! We'll get wild, wild, wild!!", she sang. Indeed she would.
