Luisa goes to the movies and gets picked up by a rich guy
This is an entry into the Winter Holidays 2019 Contest. Please be kind.
*********************
I rent an apartment in Brooklyn in a nice building. It has doormen 24/7, and in the morning the New York Times is dropped off in front of my door. Classy! I'm a girl who reads the paper/print edition of a newspaper; maybe that makes me unique in Gen Z, I don't know. My parents subsidize my rent, preferring that I be safe in the big city. They think having doormen makes me safer. Maybe it does?
I rise early. I always have. I get up around 6AM, go to the kitchen and make coffee. The kitchen has a window, but it looks out at a brick wall of the neighboring building, so nobody can see inside. Nobody else is awake at that hour, anyway, except for the old man who lives across the courtyard, and he is always -- always! -- watching TV. Usually it's MSNBC, or a classic movie, but on weekend nights he watches porn -- gay male porn -- on his TV. I think he's never looked over at my apartment, but who really knows?
In the early morning I usually am doing things in my birthday suit. I like it. It makes me feel sexy, you know? Once I leave the three rooms (bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom) however, I have to put on a robe. I go to the sitting room to drink my coffee, eat my breakfast (yogurt and a hard-boiled egg), and read the New York Times. I can easily be seen in the sitting room, whence the robe.
Then fun time is over and I put on nylons, panties and a bra, a skirt and blouse, maybe a sweater, earrings, and make-up, and of course I brush my hair and do my face, and then I head out to work.
A couple of weeks ago I changed my routine. I'd bring my breakfast to bed and eat it there. I'd also bring my laptop and check Facebook and my email and the like, too. Normally I do it all on my phone, but recently I've been preferring using my laptop, with its larger screen. I don't follow anyone on Twitter. In fact, I hate Twitter.
The only reason I'd need to put on my robe was to get the newspaper, right outside my door, in the hallway.
I enjoy reading the paper, sipping my coffee, and eating my breakfast naked. Eventually I get dressed, and head out to the subway and off to work. I work as a corporate secretary. I feel I am good at my job. Once I'm at work, I forget all about the pleasures of my nudity.
I do enjoy, however, having my co-workers check me out. It seems they never get tired of doing that. To give them pleasure (hee, hee), I've taken to wearing short skirts to show off my legs. I also wear push-up bras and blouses that emphasize some dΓ©colletage. I don't date men from work, however. It could get both me and also the men fired. So, they only get to look, and I get the pleasure of being checked out, which -- quite frankly -- I love.
Back at home, a couple of weeks later I got up, and it was time to get the paper, and I went for my robe. It smelled; it desperately needed to be laundered. Damn. None of the times I had ever picked up the paper had I ever seen another soul. It took what -- twenty, thirty seconds? What were the odds? Minuscule. I'd just open the door, grab the paper, and close the door. Easy.
That's what I did. Stark naked, I got the paper. What a thrill I got from exposing myself like that! I was totally aroused just from the thrill of my daring, getting the paper naked and all. When I returned to my bedroom, instead of reading the paper I had just risked humiliating exposure to get, I went to a porn site. I watched a silly story about an exhibitionist with huge tits, and fingered myself as the eight-minute-long video told its sordid story.
I watched a second porn video, and then a third. I realized I was in the danger zone for being late to work, and I rushed off. I never had read the paper!
The next day, as I sipped my coffee and took little, dainty tastes of my yogurt, I began to think about the idea of getting the newspaper nude. I had now done it two days in a row! Sometime soon I'd really have to do the laundry. It was a Saturday, so work was off the table, and I thought about carrying this fascination with exhibitionism a little farther.
I have small boobs but prominent nipples. If I wear a thin bra, and most of my bras are thin, then my nipples poke at whatever top I'm wearing. Good for them! I find the look sexy; the next best thing to being topless. Pair that with skin tight yoga pants without panties, and you've found my new look!
I modeled various tops without even a bra, in front of the mirror. It being winter I opened a window and cold air rushed in, making my nipples harden and stand at attention. The effect was remarkable. I began to wonder if I could pick up a guy if I were to leave the apartment dressed in no bra, a thin top, and body-hugging yoga pants?
In a moment of stupidity that I told myself was bravery, I decided to go for it! I left the apartment in my outfit that I called the Next Best Thing to Nudity, or NBTN. I live in New York, so I got plenty of looks, but nobody tried anything as I walked around my neighborhood. I was pleased at all of the lecherous, self-conscious male stares, but ended up disappointed that no strangers hit on me.
I went back home, thoroughly discouraged. I checked myself out in the mirror, and yeah, I looked hot! Maybe men are just a bit uptight, or they might think it's rude to hit on a random woman that they see on the sidewalk? Who knows?
The next day was Sunday. I skipped church and instead went grocery shopping. Mostly it's women in the stores, but there are some men there too, to be sure. I loitered around the dairy case, and spent a long time choosing some ice cream flavors to buy. This gave my nipples quite a nice bit of stimulation from the cold, and the effects were noticeable. Good, I chuckled to myself!
I made my way, following my nipples the way others might follow their nose, over to the aisle with vitamins, deodorants, and shampoo. I was holding a particularly nice deodorant brand in my hand, reading the ingredients, when a good-looking man around my age asked me where I'd found it. He was looking me square in the nipples, not in the eye. Finally! A live one!
We had a nice, banal conversation while he continuously stared at my tits, and I giggled nervously a lot. Sadly, though, he never tried to make a move on me, like suggesting we get coffee together, or anything, really. I needed a new tactic.
The next weekend there was a film festival uptown, at Lincoln Center. It was for Korean films, and they were showing several films of the master, Bong Joon-Ho, in the Walter Reade theater, which is a great theater in which to see a movie. I'm not Korean; far from it, but I do like foreign films, and Bong Joon-Ho's films are simply the best. I went to see
Memories of Murder
.
In case you haven't seen it, the movie is inspired by the real-life story of a detective who is consumed with serial rapes and murders in a town in South Korea. He tries his best, aided by a detective who comes from Seoul, and ultimately fails. In the movie notes it's pointed out that the movie dates from 2003, but now, sixteen years later, the police have finally found the real killer, first by using DNA, and second, when confronted, having the real murderer confess.
Now however, it's December, 2019, in New York, and the temperature is in the low 40's with wind chills in the thirties and sometimes even in the twenties. Christmas is in the air. It's kind of hard to wear just a T shirt in that kind of weather, but I did it. I wore layers, and once I was in the theater I peeled off all of my layers, one after the other, until I got down to my T shirt, with my nipples really poking at it, something furiously! I enjoyed the way several men who caught sight of me reacted with lustful interest. It made me feel desirable. Then I watched the movie.
At the end I joined the huge line for the women's room, and one guy, maybe in his mid to late forties (I am 23) began to chat me up. That was nice, and I agreed to go for a drink with him at Bar Boulud, which is quite close by. He even waited for me to have my turn in the ladies' and he was there when I finally emerged. He took my arm and he escorted me, basically, across the street to the Bar.
Bar Boulud is an upscale bar where one can imbibe amazingly delicious French wine, and eat equally delicious small French plates. As we sipped at our wine, we looked into each other's eyes and made small talk. Unlike many men I have known, Mike was gregarious, and a real charmer. He was obviously not hurting for money, but he didn't seem to have the ugly politics that tended to come with a life of privilege.
Mike also shared my love for the arts, and -- to my delight -- also for classical music. We both shared our affection for string quartet music, but our tastes also both extended to modern jazz, and even to the movie music of Ennio Morricone and his ilk. You know the music: Morricone wrote the sound tracks of the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone so-called spaghetti westerns, for example. I began to kind of -- just a little, mind you -- fall for Mike.
Bar Boulud is not cheap and I made a metaphorical gulp when I saw the prices. I was kind of hoping the guy, whose name, as I said, was Mike, would offer to treat me, you know? Of course, if I accepted, wasn't the norm that some small amount of sex would follow? Maybe some heavy kissing and him feeling me up? Did I want that?
My father, and also my brother, are 'let's cross that bridge when we come to it' kinds of people. I'm not: I'm a pre-emptive worrier. It's part of being female: We have to be ready for whatever comes and have a diplomatic response ready, you know? I was truly hoping Mike was not the kind of guy who thought buying a girl a nice meal earned him a joyous time in the sack with her!
He was.
Once we had finished eating and drinking, emphasis on the drinking, he told me he had some really good weed back at his place. As it turns out, that was the perfect thing to say to me. Like a lamb to the slaughter, I meekly followed him into a taxi and off we went to his Park Avenue apartment.
I'm not a big fan of apartment living, since the spaces are so small, but that's only because I'd never seen a Park Avenue apartment! His apartment had two floors, hot and cold running servants, and in terms of square feet it was twice the size of my parents' house! I was blown away.
Once inside, I once again peeled off all my layers of clothes until I was down to my T shirt. My nipples had calmed down, but Mike led me out to one of several balconies, where we could light up. He didn't like the smell that smoking indoors left behind, especially since it tended to diffuse throughout his apartment. It was freezing cold in the wind out on the balcony, and my nipples responded as a girl's nipples will.
