Lisa

The minute they returned to the hotel suite, Lisa kicked off her sandals. Instant relief. “My feet were killing me.”

She watched Rafael shrug out of his jacket and loosen a button on his shirt. “It hurts me just to look at them.”

“My shoes or my feet?” she asked.

“Definitely the shoes. Your feet? Perfection.”

She wandered over to the minibar. “Have you ever eaten anything out of a minibar before?”

“Are you kidding?”

She laughed. “I know. Way too expensive. But let’s do it. I want chocolate and wine.”

“I should’ve smuggled some of that shrimp out with us.”

“If only.”

“Why didn’t you eat at the party?” he asked.

“Because I don’t eat in front of people. I told you that.”

“You eat in front of me.”

“You’re special.” She grabbed a dark chocolate bar and a bottle of red wine.

He crossed over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. “You’re complicated, you know that?”

“So I’ve been told.” Over and over again. Impulsive, complicated, unpredictable. All were bad things, if she were to believe her ex-boyfriends.

He kissed a spot just under her ear. “Complicated is good. I’ll never get bored trying to figure out what you’re going to do next.”

“You say that now.” She turned to face him. Was this man like the others? Obsessed with shiny objects until they no longer shone? In love until he no longer found her fascinating but merely too much trouble?

He smiled at her, then gave her a quick kiss. “Come on now, don’t look so serious. Let’s have a nice night. I want to savor every moment of the time I have with you.”

“Really? Savor?” Did he mean that?

“Yes. Savor. Go change into comfortable clothes. I’ll open this.” He let her go and reached for the wine opener and two glasses.

She traipsed off to her room and slipped out of the dress. Wearing only her bra and panties, she stood in front of the full-length mirror. She was neither tall nor short. At just over five feet six inches tall, she’d always been perfectly average. Her breasts were small. She had muscular legs and arms from dance, but they weren’t slim like Maggie’s and Pepper’s. She was not thin like the other girls in this town. Her rib cage was well hidden and her hips wide. Her mother always said she was born in the wrong era. If only she’d been young before the age of the skinny supermodel.

The face she saw in the mirror was ordinary, enhanced by the makeup, but not striking like Maggie with her copper hair and ballerina frame or Pepper’s petite body and arresting dark eyes and hair. She was just plain old Lisa. A casting agent had said she was like a vanilla wafer, white and bland.

Years ago, a producer had told her to get a breast enhancement. She’d talked it over with Maggie and Pepper and they’d all agreed that although it would be nice to be bigger, there was no way any of them could afford one even if they wanted an invasive surgery where they inserted bags into your chest.
