Susie enjoyed the congratulations of her teammates. She loved being a part of this soccer team. They accepted her for who she was, no questions asked. It was of course, her talent that had led them to accept her at first. But at least they hadnât judged her because of her looks. Not that that would get her to shower with them. She really disliked the way she looked and desperately wanted it to change.
Susie looked young for her age. Her breasts were small. Her figure was slim, boyish even and when she had first started to get pubic hair, it had revolted her and she'd shaved it. It was a habit she'd never broken.
Talent had got her into the team and her performance on the field had one her trusted friends. But none of that had changed her opinion of her body (that it wasn't feminine enough) and she always waited until last before getting into the showers. She hated the fact that they were open, but that was the way they were and everyone else in the club seemed to deal with it just fine.
Today she had played really well, scoring her first ever hat trick for the club and thus helping to set the team up for a run into the finals. Her team mates were congratulating her and she was about as happy as she could be. But she was still dawdling about, taking ages to pull of her boots and kit before heading for the showers.
Linda, the team captain always made jokes about how she was so quick on the field but interminably slow when it came to getting wet after the game. âIf I hadnât seen you slide tackle through the mud and water, I would have said you were hydrophobicâ she laughed today as she walked past, her naked breasts sitting pertly on her chest, towel clutched in one hand.
Susie eyed Lindaâs breasts as she walked past. She wondered what size cup they would be. At least a B. Maybe even a C she thought, wishing that she even had a real need for a bra. She also peeked at Lindaâs pussy. It looked so right, she thought, a neatly trimmed patch of dark hair that narrowed towards her lips which were also covered with a closely cropped covering of hair. She looked away quickly though. Even though there was a couple of lesbians and bisexuals on the team, Susie certainly didnât consider herself one of them and didnât want to get labelled out of turn either.
Figuring that everyone was out of the showers now, she peeled off her shorts, pants, top and sports bra, wrapping her towel around her as she entered the alcove. There were six shower heads in the space, all pointing into the middle and suzie took up the one that afforded her the most cover from the rest of the girls in the change-room. They were slowly leaving anyway, heading upstairs to the bar for after-game drinks.
Susie relaxed under the warm stream of the water, letting it rinse the tension from her body along with the mud from the soccer pitch. As she stood there under the water, hands supporting her weight against the wall, she thought back to just how good Linda had looked as she had walked past her, naked, confident and beautiful.
As she let her mind wander down this path yet again, the depression settled over her. She was no goddess. As her thoughts spiralled downwards around her self image, she found herself sliding down the wall to sit in the water pooling at the bottom of the shower where it drained away. Tears broke through her usual cheerful façade. She sobbed in the falling water, hating herself for crying, but unable to draw herself out of the mindset that had brought her there.
âSusie?â called Linda, coming back into the change rooms.
âOh crap,â thought Susie, snapping back from her reverie as the call broke the sound of the cascading water. She started to pick herself up and attempt to compose herself but was only half way up when she saw Linda peer around the corner.
âWhatâs the matter, did you fall?â asked Linda, concern written across her features.
âNo, its nothing, donât worry,â said Susie, noting how glam Linda now looked, her long brown hair released to fall about her features, her body hugged by a nice little black party dress. She fought back a sob and the ever-waiting spiral of despair when her mind threatened her with more thoughts of just how much like that she would never look. She used her hands to cover herself up, knowing that it didnât really matter ⊠there wasnât anything to see anyway.
âIt canât be nothing, you donât just cry over nothing,â prompted Linda. Here, let me get you a towel. Linda disappeared and returned with Susieâs towel, holding it out for her to step into. Susie stepped forwards to have Linda enclose her in the towel. She was briefly thrilled by the smell of Lindaâs hair and her proximity ⊠a sheltering hug. She was surprised at the thought, but Linda stepped back to allow her to dry herself.
âI came down because theyâre going to be starting the presentations soon and we all know youâre going to be best on ground and we started looking for you and you werenât there.â
âThanks Linda, it means a lot to me that you came down to look for me,â
âHey youâre our star forward and all round party girl, we canât kick on tonight without you!â
Saying so, she pulled the towel away, adding âAnd so youâd better get dressed and get up there, because I donât want to miss too much fun and I sure as hell am going to buy you a drink for that hat trick today!
âOh sure, now thatâs taking it a bit far,â laughed Susie, reaching for her underwear. She was usually one of the quiet girls more towards the fringes at the after-game festivities, mainly because the boys didnât seem to take a lot of notice of her and the other girls, well, they didnât seem that keen on her either. Funny how she didnât really want them to, but would at least have been flattered if one of them had wanted her.
âYes, perhaps it is, but at least it brought out that gorgeous smile of yours again,â replied Linda.
Susie blushed at the compliment, pulling her jeans on before grabbing her top and slipping into that as well. She put on her high-heeled boots and grabbed her kit bag.
âI just might have to set you up and get you laid tonight,â joked Linda as they left the change rooms. âDump your kit in my car, Iâll look after you tonight.â
âUm, no thanks and thanks?â laughed Susie. âI think I can wait on the whole getting laid thing. Anyway, youâd probably just depress yourself trying to get someone to do it to me.
âOh, youâd be surprised,â Linda said slyly, but with a hint of an understanding of why she might have found Susie crying in the shower. She watched as Susie climbed the stairs ahead of her, taking more careful note of the younger girls appearance than normal. She was very slim, attractive but with a very young boyish figure. When it came down to it, she just looked young for her age. That was sure to be of benefit when she was hitting 30, but at 18 it made Id checks a certainty. The two girls were greeted by a round of cheers as they appeared, drinks being thrust into their hands. Susie happily accepted the drink she was offered, havng just been announced player of the day!
Susie and Linda partied hard that night and Susie opened up more than she had for some time. She really got along with Linda, who seemed to be making an effort to see that Susie had fun which was nice of her. Despite her promise to try and get her laid, Linda didnât seem to make any effort to actually go through with it, which relieved Susie more than anything else.
At the end of the night, they went back to Lindaâs car ready to go, but Linda was too drunk to drive so suggested that they both catch a cab to her house and stay the night. They could come and pick up her car later.
Susie made a call home to make sure that her parents knew where sheâd be and then the girls jumped in cab. They giggled and joked their way back to Lindaâs house where they switched on the telly to watch some music videos and Linda fetched them a couple of drinks to finish the night off.
They were bopping away in the living room with the music going, half paying attention when a video clip came on with two skanky girls dancing with each other as if they wanted to be doing a hell of a lot more than that. Susie found herself watching it closely and Linda too was watching what was going on with more than just a little interest.
âMan, thatâs just what Jenn and Sarah get like when theyâve had too many drinks or thing no one is watching,â Linda said.
âReally? I knew they were both into chicks, but I canât say that Iâve ever seen them doing anything obvious other than the occasional quick kiss hello and goodbye,â replied Susie.
âOh they donât do it that often, but I went out with them one night and we went to a club where there were more than your usual number of chicks looking for chicks if you know what I mean. They got right into each other ⊠it was like they were practically fucking on the dance floor. It was quite a turn on really.â
âWow, I donât know what Iâd do if I went into a gay bar,â said Susie.
âWell, I kept to myself a lot and didnât really give anyone a chance to hit on me either,â laughed Linda.
âYeah, well I think Iâd be just like that. Then again, maybe Iâd be flattered enough that anyone was interested and give it a go,â laughed Susie.
âDonât sell yourself short there young lady!â Linda jokingly admonished her. As she said that, she finished off her drink and let Susie know that she thought it was time that they grabbed some sleep. Susie finished her drink quickly and followed Linda to her room. Once their, they pulled out an extra mattress and threw some linen on it for Susie to sleep on. Linda started stripping off her dress to reveal a black satin bra and matching thong.
