Spiderman's Sister

Take a cold shower

Luckily James isn't there when I get back to our room. I have no idea where he is and I have to admit that I don't really care either. The main thing is that I have a few minutes of peace and don't have to ward off his advances immediately. Another thought that makes me feel bad again. As always after a run, I decide to take a shower first. I've just taken my top off when the door to the room opens.

Bucky: There you are. Where have you been?

Victoria: I went for a run and now I'm going to take a shower.

Bucky: Good idea. I wanted to take a shower today anyway.

So much for enjoying the peace and quiet. Annoyed, I look at James and see that he has also removed his shirt and is now shirtless in front of me. Look away Vicky, look away. I don't go any further into his words, but go to the bathroom and decide to continue undressing there. But, as might be expected, James follows me. I take a deep breath before turning to him and glaring at him annoyed.

Victoria: And what exactly are you doing?

Bucky: The way I see it, we both wanted to take a shower.

Victoria: Oh believe me, I'm going to take a shower. Alone! If you want to take a shower, you'll have to wait until I'm done.

Bucky: Are you sure?

Even though I try my best to let him know I'm serious just by the way I speak, he just grins at me with that smile that always makes me forget my own name and comes closer. Luckily I'm just annoyed enough to face him anyway.

Victoria: Yes I am.

He still doesn't understand. When he is just about to touch my cheek, I grab his wrist and look at him intensely.

Victoria: James please........ stop making it so difficult for me.

Now he's the one getting annoyed, he pulls his wrist away, walks over to the bed and flops down on it. Is he serious? He's really driving me insane and pisses me off.

Bucky: All right, I'll shower after you then.

God, he's pissing me off. I won't make it my problem that he's lying on the bed sulking again. In the bathroom I close the door, undress and go into the shower. In contrast to times, I actually set the water to be relatively cold. James isn't the only one who desperately needs a cold shower. I never thought that we would get on each other's nerves because of sex - or rather because of the fact that we don't have sex. We love each other, don't we? I really don't know how we're supposed to move forward when sex seems to be all James want's from me, from this relationship. Just before I'm done, while I'm washing the shampoo out of my hair, I hear someone come into the bathroom. Well, who will that be?

Victoria: James I'm not done yet.

I can't even react, so quickly I'm spun around and feel James' lips press against mine. Heat rushes through my body. Heat, because I don't really want anything more than this myself. But much more because I'm damn angry! I push him away from me and he looks at me in shock. What the hell was that? I practically jump out of the shower, wrap a towel around myself and walk out of the bathroom. I'll call out while I'm walking.

Victoria: Take a cold shower! I sleep in my room tonight.

Isn't it enough now that I just say no? What's wrong with James? He can't be that dick-driven, can he? I'm rummaging in the dresser for something to wear when James comes out of the bathroom too. Can't he just leave me alone right now?

Bucky: Baby wait. I...... I'm sorry!

Victoria: I asked for one thing, James. I just wanted to take a shower alone and you can't even let me do that.
