"C'mon in, you're such a pussy."
"I am not." Ok, so yes I was, but it was dark. There was very little moonlight, it was a lake, and it was one in the morning, and I am terrified of snakes. I was so not going in that water, much less naked. I waded out slowly, stumbling over the rocks, and cursing over gravels in my sandals.
That's the downfall with lakes, they don't have those nice smooth bottoms that pools do. But, you can't beat the beauty of it. I got out to him and he was already frolicking around. He waded back in slowly, and cut off the headlights on the truck, and the world went dark. It took a few moments for my eyes to adjust, and even then, it was rather dark.
I saw him wading back in, and when he came up to me, I figured he was naked. That was what he'd been talking about doing for days, how he used to strip off and head into the water. I watched him a moment, he's so pretty. Always at ease. Always easy with a smile. I headed back in every so slowly, just knowing that I'd feel a snake swim by me at any moment. It was paranoia I know, but, what can I say.
I got to the truck and stripped off my bottoms laying them on the hood, next came the top and I covered my breasts with my arms. It just, wasn't quite right wandering around naked in the outdoors like I was. I never would be comfortable in the nude like he was.
The water seemed colder, and I called to him to come back in and get me. Klutz that I am I didn't want to trip on the way out to him, even though the water was up and had just submerged a road so there was a clear path to follow. He came in, and I followed him, my hands on his shoulders, again aware of how warm he always was, he seemed to emanate heat.
