Spiderman's Sister

Looks like something more interesting is going on here

After a long shower, I stand in the bathroom, just wrapped in a towel, and put on my make-up. I've already curled my hair into soft waves that I just need to put the finishing touches on. I usually prefer subtle makeup lately, but today I want to look really wicked. That's why I opt for smokey eyes and apply mascara to my eyelashes so that they flatter my eyes like dense black fans. When I'm done, my eyes sparkle like glowing sapphires. The dark makeup really brings out the best in them and dark red lipstick perfects my look. Damned! If James doesn't go insane just seeing me, it would be a miracle. Still wrapped in my towel, I sit down on my bed and paint my nails - the same red that can already be seen on my lips. I've just finished the last nail when there's a knock and Wanda comes in.

Victoria: Hey Wanda, what's up?

Wanda: Well, actually I wanted to ask you why I had to find out from Peter that you and Bucky are moving out. But it looks like something much more interesting is going on here.

She looks from my nails to my face and back again.

Wanda: Seems you have plans for tonight?

Victoria: Yep. Bucky and I are going out. I reserved a table for us in one of the most romantic restaurants in the city, with a unique view of New York's skyline.

Wanda: Just like that? Or is there some reason I don't know about?

Victoria: Well... it's important for couples to spend quality time together. Wait a minute, I'll get dressed quickly.

I go back into the bathroom where my dress is hanging on a hook by the door and my lingerie, which I specially picked for later, is on the dresser. I put on the lingerie and slip into the dress and I feel this tingle of excitement as I look at myself in the mirror. The dress hugs my body like a second skin. It is black and set with silver stones that shine like diamonds when the light breaks on them. It is off the shoulder except for a thin strap on the right. The dress is floor-length and has a slit in the fabric on the right that goes up to the hips. In addition I wear simple black high heels that show a silver sword on the back, down to the tip of the heel. As I step out of the bathroom, I pose for Wanda.

Victoria: How do I look?

Wanda: Wow! You... you look like Bucky is definitely going insane today.

Victoria: Perfect. That's what I want to look like.

I walk over to my mirror, fluff up my curls and pin them so they gather at the back of my head and then fall down my back.

Wanda: Do you really think that's a good idea? I mean, he won't be able to resist you and we both know what happened the last time you both couldn't resist each other.

Victoria: This problem will not exist this time.

Wanda: Why? Has Bucky gone blind lately? If he sees you, you probably won't even make it to the restaurant.

Victoria: James will just have to pull himself together.

Wanda: Yes, but you will also have to pull yourself together.

I turn to her, grinning triumphantly.

Victoria: Well, let's just say I know something James doesn't.

It takes a moment for her to understand what I mean.

Wanda: Wait?! Does that mean Bucky has medical clearance?

Victoria: Yep. Bruce purposely only told me and not James. So I can use this to make James pay for the last few months. The main reason for the dinner is that I can have some fun with him before I break the good news to him.

Wanda: Poor guy. But I like the idea. Somehow he deserved it. But don't be too hard on him.

Victoria: We'll see.

I look at the clock and see that it's almost 6 p.m. I quickly pack everything I will need into my purse and grab my coat, which I put over my arm.

Victoria: I have to go Wanda.

Wanda: Have fun and tomorrow I want all the details.

We giggle as I walk out of the room and make my way to our shared room. I can't wait to see James and put my plan into action. I enter our room just as James comes out of the bathroom.

Victoria: Hey James.
