Explorers Club Ch. 3: Bungalows
I walked slowly across the dark sand, naked, towards my own bungalow. The morning light was starting to illuminate the dark beach in a burnt orange glow. The warm sand was soft underneath my toes and I found myself beginning to enjoy my walk. I knew Professor Hale was waiting for me to bring her some spare clothes, and my bungalow was just up ahead. But first, I had to pass by Frank's bungalow.
I could hear some sounds from inside: he must have brought back those girls from the bar. I padded silently, staying away from the entrance, hoping I could get past without being spotted. But as I moved behind Frank's bungalow, I saw a figure wobbling unsteadily in the sand.
"Perkins!" Frank yelled, and turned to me.
I quickly covered my crotch with both hands. Frank chewed on a Slim Jim and then stretched his arms wide. He chuckled, shaking his head as he chewed, and looked me up and down.
"Why are you naked, Perkins?"
I shielded my eyes with one hand as he stumbled towards me.
"Why are
you
naked?!" I responded.
Frank looked down at his own body. He was completely naked except for a flip flop on one foot. I tried not to look too long below his waist.
"Huh," he said nonchalantly. "It appears I am!"
"Fun with your two new friends I assume?" I asked, nodding to his bungalow. "They came back with you from the bar?"
He gestured with his floppy Slim Jim back toward his bungalow. "Oh yeah they're in there. Henna and Jenna... I think that's their names. We watched the sunrise." He gave me a knowing nod and had a big, stupid grin on his face.
"Well..." I shuffled sideways awkwardly. "Glad you're having fun in there. I'm just going to get back now..."
"Perkins!" Frank yelled.
I stopped, and he pointed his floppy Slim Jim at me.
"You... you... you're naked, Perkins!" he began laughing.
I raised an eyebrow. "How drunk are you? You just said that."
"Very, yes," he said. He took another bite of his Slim Jim and wobbled precariously.
"You were able to uh... have sex in that condition?" I asked, genuinely curious.
"Of course man! We did all the sex..." he said, waving his arms wide. He thought for a moment, then seemed to really struggle to remember.
Another figure emerged from Frank's bungalow, and I could tell from the silhouette it was a woman.
"Frank?! Who are you talking to?" she yelled. I shuffled sideways, desperately inching towards my door.
"That's Perkins!" Frank said.
"Who?" she asked.
"Perkins!"
She paused for a moment. "Well we've seen the sunrise now, can you stop yelling and come inside? What are you even doing out here?"
"Talking to Perkins!"
I pointed back to my own bungalow, which was close now. "I'm going to head back..."
"Why are you naked?" the girl asked me.
"I was just getting to the bottom of that mystery," Frank said, wobbling.
"I uh... I like to walk on the beach naked in the mornings," I lied. "It's relaxing."
"Ew," she said, and yanked on Frank's arm. "Frank is your friend a pervert or something?"
"Oh definitely!" Frank said, laughing, and shrugged off her arm. He turned to me and eyed me cautiously. "Wait... Perkins, did you fuck Gracie? I saw how you two were looking at each other last night... are you two fucking on the beach?!"
Frank looked around wildly, as if a naked Gracie might be lounging just in the shadows.
