My name is Kat. I'm a young woman in her early twenties. And today, I want to tell you about the life in the small town I grew up in, a very unique place. In fact, due to the nature of the life there, I didn't spend all my time in this town when I was younger.
You see, this town has a policy you can't really find anywhere else. During some parts of the year, all the people who aren't of age leave the town for a few days or weeks accompanied with a handful of adults, while most of the adults stay in town. And what happens with those who stay? The townfolks call it the 'Aphrodite days' where there's an almost total freedom of performing sexual acts whenever, wherever people want to.
That may sound very bizarre at first, but it works incredibly well. It was created to allow people to be more free and liberated sexually and has proven to drastically improve relations between people, reduce breakups and fight between couples and improve the mood of everyone around. It also surprisingly reduced the number of unwanted pregnancies, as sex education is an important part of the school curriculum, as well as free contraceptives. The policy is very clear and the town is quite strict on who they allow settling in to lower the risk of people coming to the village solely for sex vacations, where you actually have to have spent at least a full year in the village before you can stay during the Aphrodite days.
Anyways. I grew up in this town, apart from the moments we would leave the town for the Aphrodite days. And it's been a few years since I've been able to enjoy them myself. The last event was during last summer.
I live in my own apartment in this town and work as a batista in the nearby coffee shop. It was the first day of the Aphrodite days, that should last for about a month or so, so I needed to get ready.
The sunlight hit my eyes through the blinds, reminding me that I should definitely fix them. It was probably just a few turns of a screw but procrastinating was pretty much my second job at this point, so it'd have to wait. Battling to pull myself out of my bed, I could have sworn this thing had a stronger gravity field or something. I dragged my feet to reach the bathroom, the cold white light scorching my barely opened eyes even more.
With a groan, I took a look at my tired face. My black fringe in a mess covering some of it, the rest of my dark bob cut tangled after a night fighting with my pillow. Turning the water on, I washed my face in hope of waking up quicker. I've been told I had the bitchiest resting face but those people haven't seen me in the morning, it's on another level. It seemed that it helped a little as I could see the green emeralds showing themselves on the side of my little nose. Quickly displacing my large shirt and panties I used as PJs, I turned the hot water on in the shower, waiting for it to heat up before stepping inside. I let a long sigh escape my mouth, as the warm water hit my pale skin, surrounding me in steam rising up rather quickly.
One I was done, I stepped out the shower and wrapped myself in my towel, quickly drying myself up to go get my uniform. Obviously, searching through the messy pile of clothes in my room, cursing past me for not being as tidy as future Kat wished. Finally managing to pull the white t-shirt, dark green skirt and thigh high socks from the mess, I threw them onto the bed. Going to my clean underwear drawer before reminding myself which day it was. No need for them, though I hope today wouldn't be a cold one. It'll feel good to let the puppies breathe anyways, I told myself.
After dressing up, I quickly got out of the house, realizing I was late as always. Thankfully, it was just on the corner of the road I lived in. As I stepped into the shop, the bell rang and my manager was at the counter. She looked at me with her usual frown, and I made my way in.
"You start at 9, not 9:10." she said.
"I know, I know." I replied, holding myself from trying to be any smug.
