Chapter 8
The next installment, to be offered for viewing the following night, would be a tribute to Bradley and Tabitha's first weekend together.
For the 30 minutes before the appointed hour, a larger crowd had begun gathering at the storefront windows than the first night. As with the night before, the growing crowd experienced the unspoken tension comprised of the expectation of arousal and the discomfort of how to respond to that arousal in a public setting. This was essentially voyeurism, which is normally, by definition, clandestine.
It would be preposterous for the individuals to pretend that you were there for any other reason, but equally preposterous to, say, sneak your hand into your pocket or under your skirt amongst strangers on a public sidewalk.
As these uncomfortable thoughts were roiling through the group, the same heavy curtain was raised, revealing an off-white sheet of light, but opaque fabric, like a hung bedsheet. Incandescent light was cast downwards at an oblique angle. The was a moment of stillness, with each viewers eyes glued to this canvass of sorts.
In time, a hand from behind the fabric pressed towards the crowd, revealing that the fabric was light, stretchy and clingy. Each delicate finger was discernable, with the light from above detailing the features and made more clear by the shadows cast. The hand slowly traced along the fabric, disappearing. In a moment a shoulder's and upper arm's impressions moved along the fabric. Clearly, the model, presumably the same model as the night before, was behind the curtain walking slowly across the field of few.
On other side of the curtain, of course, was Tabitha, fully nude, though still wearing the long wig that she had worn the night before. Bradley had from the beginning wanted to allow the viewers a detailed view of Tabitha's truly remarkable body.
Alison, Maria and Bradley all treasured each view of Tabitha's naked body. In each of their minds, she was a perfect work of art. Tabitha, true to her personality, brushed off such praise, but was committed to making Bradley's artistic vision come to fruition.
Tabitha turned and walked back across the fabric, this time allowing her upper arm and shoulder to brush against the fabric, which again, was outlined in detail to the crowd due to the clinginess of the fabric and the deep shadows cast. Again, reaching the other end of the field of view, the impression disappeared.
With each pass, Tabitha pressed incrementally harder into the sheet. Her sides, her hips, her upper thighs, her hips, slowly revealing a feminine, fit, agile young woman. One could perceive tantalizing details of this obviously naked body, though the reality was hidden behind a thin film of fabric. Her movements weren't in the form of dance, but it was graceful, fluid and confident.
Her movements expressed freedom, openness and joy.
Her last few passes were the most revealing. She slowly rolled in slow motion along the sheet with her arms stretching above her head. The viewers could clearly discern her lightly toned abdomen, her ribcage, the fronts of her thighs...her pussy just out of view. Her magnificent breasts, with hard nipples clearly pressing outwards and slightly upwards. As she rolled, she exposed the sides of her ass, the back of her calves, her upper shoulders, finely muscled and perfectly proportioned. Finally, she rolled to face away from the viewers, and lowered her arms to her sides.
And there it was, the work of art that was her butt.
At first, only lightly touching the fabric, but over the course of a minute, she inched closer into the fabric, The beautiful deep cleft, the dimples that graced each perfect globe.
There she stood, motionless, allowing the crowd to let this majestic body sink into their psyche. She was clearly doing this for them. She wanted them to see her fully and at length. Often when seeing a beautiful girl, the observer glances but quickly looks away, partly out of embarrassment, but also to not make the object feel uncomfortable.
This was their chance to drink it in. She was allowing it fully.
Only after about three minutes, she slowly rolled, still firmly pressed against the sheet, giving a final slow glimpse of her breasts, her side and a last glancing touch with her backside, before pulling away out of view. The lights above dimmed slowly, signaling the end of the show. Just as the light was nearly fully dimmed, a bank of bright lights out the outside of the building crackled on, directly on the crowd.
Those bright lights signified an abrupt end of the fantasy and a stark return to reality. The ideal of that beautiful body, the warm lights, was gone. For good. No record now existed other than in each person's memory.
Now they themselves were again exposed to reconcile with themselves and with their co-voyeurs.
