Putting on a show: her first time
By MsBQ
Anna cut the bottoms off her jeans. She stood, in the kitchen, in her knickers and cut the bottom off her jeans. (In the kitchen! In her knickers!) Not because they were old and were being repurposed as shorts. Not because they were too long and needed to be taken up. She cut them off because she felt like it. She cut them because she could. Because nobody (Babushka) was here anymore to tell her she shouldn't. She liked the way other women wore their jeans ripped and torn with the hem fraying, or manually turned up.
Look at the state of her trousers, she looks poor.
She thought it looked...cool. Cool! She'd never referred to herself as 'cool', ever. She looked down at her feet, skinny white feet, curled up and unsure in their new look. She felt a tingle down her back and surveyed her reflection in the mirror. She lifted her blouse, just a little, so that it sat just above her waistline. Grabbing the scissors, she began to cut, furiously. She couldn't reach around so she pulled off the blouse to finish her task. Back in front of the mirror, short blouse on, she undid the top button, and then the second. Not too low, just a little lower.
That woman is only asking for trouble with all that flesh out!
She pulled her long dark hair out of its neat ponytail and shook it until it was tousled and, well, a bit wild.
Tidy up your hair Anna, nice and neat.
'Oh, Shhhhsh Babushka!' She said out loud, shocking herself. Her Grandmother had been gone for 5 months now but it often felt like she was still there; watching, judging, and offering her archaic observations on modern life. Anna had never known her Mother, she understood her to have been 'troubled, and wild', and when she died soon after Anna was born Babushka took her in. Anna had had had a pretty lonely, oppressed 26 years so far, Babushka seemingly determined history wouldn't repeat itself.
The doorbell rang; Anna jumped. Her eyes scanned the room, looking for something to throw on. There was a knock at the door.
'Anna? It's Patrick' It was the builder. Anna had contracted him to fix the worst of the leaks in Babushka's -- now her -- rickety old house. So, she'd found Patrick -- PB Building and Roofing Maintenance -- online. He'd turned up promptly, and she could just about afford it, and he seemed nice. And she knew Babushka would have hated him.
She took a breath and opened the door. Patrick was leant against the wall, swinging his keys on his finger, his wiry black afro held out of his face with a headband.
What has that stupid man got on his head, Anna!
'Hi, Anna. Sorry to drop by, I've got those brackets, to finish that bit along your guttering?'
Did his eyes flit over her chest then?
'Oh, yes, of course' she said, her hand subconsciously flew to her top buttons.
'Weather should be clear for the rest of the morning, so I'll get up and fix them now' He smiled, bright and wide, his cheekbones high and shining.
'Yes, please. That would be wonderful' She briefly caught his eyes, deepest black eyes -- then looked away embarrassed.
Patrick stared for a moment. Anna looked a bit different, a bit.. brighter? Her hair was, wow, it was long and kinda cool. She looked... hot. The sun caught her catlike grey eyes; Slavic, Patrick thought, sexy.
She smiled at him. 'So, I'll leave you to it then'
'Ah! Yes, sorry -- day dreaming! Always dreaming, me' He cursed himself, what was he wittering on about?! 'I'll crack on'
Anna closed the door and leant against the wall. What was going on?! Every time she saw that man she wanted to fall over. She'd liked the way he'd looked at her today. Something was different. She wanted him to do it again.
Men are trouble. They only want one thing, Anna!
Patrick went out to his van to collect his ladder. What was it about that woman? She was beautiful; in a cute, unusual kind of way. But not his type, there was something quite odd about her. But he was increasingly drawn to her, she was interesting and like no one he'd ever met before.
Anna went up to her room. She was going to change, into something more 'appropriate' (as Babushka would say), but she couldn't get Patrick out of her head. It stopped her, paralysed her for a moment, this sort of unsteadiness in her chest, and a burning in her... her...
You don't need to know what it's for until you have a baby, Anna. It's private.
In her pussy.
She said 'pussy', in her head. Obviously, she knew what her pussy was for. Her Grandmother may have taken a Victorian approach to child raising but Anna wasn't totally naΓ―ve.
'Pussy' she said it out loud. 'Pussy. Pussy.'
