In Oceanview, one really cool place I found is this aquatic center they have on the north side of town. Most of the time, when I go swimming, I go to the pool at the fitness center on campus. It's OK, but it's just one normal rectangular pool. The aquatic center though has these fun water slides. Flume slides I think they are called. You climb up two flights of stairs, and you can look out over all the pools, and then you get in, and slide all the way down on this stream of water. The big one curves back and forth. It's like you are on a roller coaster or something.
Anyway, I'd been there once, but I wanted to go back, so I tried to convince Ryosuke to take me. At first, he didn't seem so keen, but anyway, he'd been pestering me to wear my new swimsuit, the ultramarine thong one he'd bought for me. Up until then, he'd only seen me in it the day we got it. I'd been too embarrassed to wear it to the beach. It looks OK from the front I guess, I mean just like a regular one-piece (although the legs are kind of high cut). The problem is the back. There is just this tiny strand of material between my butt cheeks. My bottom is so exposed I swear it feels like I'm not wearing anything at all. To tell you the truth, I didn't want to wear it—I was still pretty shy at that time—but anyway, Ryosuke had got me a cover-up, a fuzzy white terry-cloth hoodie, to go with it, and so anyway, I promised him if he came with me, I'd wear it. I also took a second swimsuit just in case I changed my mind. For the ride there, I wore white sneakers, an orange polo blouse and my fire engine red shorts.
I took the bus up, and met Ryosuke on the way. I know he doesn't like swimming as much as me, but he looked happy. Like I said, he'd been dying to see me in this swimsuit.
We got to the aquatic center, and for some reason, we got in free (maybe the clerk thought I was cute). We went into the change rooms. On the girl's side, there are about four or five small rooms each with benches and coin lockers on the walls. I was still kind of shy (well, most of the time), so I tried to find a change room with no one in it. They were all pretty busy, so I finally settled on the one near the entrance with only this older American lady in it. I found an empty locker, and took out my swimsuit, cover-up and towel from my bag, and laid them all out on the bench.
I felt a bit nervous getting undressed there. The first time I came, it wasn't so bad because I was with one of my American friends, Debbie, but this time there was just Ryosuke, and he was on the other side. I kind of glanced over at the other woman, but she was just minding her own business, so I finally got up the nerve to take my blouse off. I quickly pulled off my skirt and then my underwear, and began pulling on my ultramarine swimsuit, the thong one piece.
When I finally got my swimsuit on, I looked around at the back. It was even worse than I remembered. You could see my whole bottom and a large part of my bare back. The thong was buried deep between the cheeks of my bottom. I tried to pull it out, but it hardly mattered. I pulled on my white hoodie, but it was fairly short, so it didn't really help.
I folded up my clothes, put them in my bag, and then got out a quarter for the coin locker. When I leaned forward to insert the coin, I worried a bit about how I must look with my bare booty showing. The woman didn't really say anything, but still I wondered if she disapproved.
I walked out toward the showers, and realized that I would have to take one. I could hear people's voices from the pool just around the corner. There was an American woman there who had taken off her suit, and was showering in the nude. I wondered if I should do the same. I took off my cover-up, and hung it on this bar in the doorway with my towel. I started to shower with my suit on, but finally got up the nerve to take it off. There were a lot of women passing through. I felt a bit embarrassed standing here naked as they all walked by. Suddenly, I realized I'd left my washcloth in the locker. I decided it would be too much bother to go back for it, so I just used my hands and the body shampoo that was there to lather up. Some women eyed me as they went by, but I tried to ignore them. I finished up my shower, toweled off, and then quickly put my suit and cover-up back on, and went out onto the pool deck.
The center is a really big place with a lot of different kinds of pools. It was a weekend, so it was crowded. At first, I couldn't find Ryosuke, but eventually, he came out. He looked pretty happy. I pulled down the hem of my hoodie, trying to cover my crotch, and playfully hit him.
"What? I was just wondering how you like your new suit," he smiled.
I looked up at him, nervous. There were people staring, so I took his hand, and pulled him over towards the stairs that lead to the top of the slides. I set my towel down on the window sill, and started to go up. The stairs were kind of slippery, so I let go of Ryosuke, and grabbed a hold of the handrail. I walked up a few steps, but when I turned back, Ryosuke was staring at my behind. I put out a hand to cover my butt crack at least, but Ryosuke still seemed pretty excited.
"Are you sure you have your suit on? It looks like you've got no bottoms on," he teased. My face felt hot. I pushed down the hem of my hoodie as best I could, and continued on up the stairs.
On the first deck up, there was the place you get in the small slide and some tables and chairs next to this huge picture window looking out onto the street behind the center. There didn't seem to be many people outside.
I went up the next set of stairs, and got into line to ride down the big slide. There were a couple of boys in line in front of me and the life guard. Ryosuke came up right behind me. I was worried he might try something, but he didn't. Soon, I realized that he was staring at the lifeguard. She was pretty, fit, probably Korean American, and perhaps a bit younger than us. She was wearing a t-shirt over her suit, but it was pretty short, so you could see her crotch.
The lifeguard wasn't looking at us. She was watching the people go down the slide. Still I got more and more annoyed as Ryosuke kept ogling her. I felt so jealous. I have at least as good a body as that.
I nervously ran my fingers along the hem of my cover-up. Maybe I'd better leave it here, and come back for it. I don't want it getting all wet. I took a deep breath, and slowly lifted the hem. Ryosuke snapped out of his daydream, and turned back to look at me. I could feel the cool air all over my body as I peeled off the hoodie. I shivered a bit, because he's quite right; there is almost nothing to this suit especially at the back. It does feel and probably look like I'm naked.
I wanted to pull my hoodie back on, but I wasn't about to lose out to some lifeguard. I shook out my hair, and then peered shyly back at Ryosuke.
"Well, what do you think?" I asked him. Here I was standing two storeys up in full view of the whole pool in this skimpy little excuse for a swimsuit. My heart was pounding. The other times I'd done crazy things, there was usually no one around. That day, the pool was absolutely packed.
I leaned forward to set my cover-up down on the deck. I straightened up, and turned to Ryosuke, but his face had gone white. I blushed even more. A couple of other girls came up the stairs behind us, so we both tried to settle down. I got Ryosuke to stand close behind me to hide my bare bottom from them.
Finally, my turn came. I didn't bother to hide my body from the lifeguard. I wanted her to know that she wasn't the only one who is hot. When she looked at me, she seemed startled a bit, but didn't say anything. She signaled for me to go, and I pushed myself off into the stream of water lying down flat so I could go as fast as possible.
"Weeee!" It was fun. You whiz along through the rafters of the building. At the end, you fall right into the pool, and have to get out of the way quickly so the next person doesn't fall on you. I waded over to the far side, and turned around to wait for Ryosuke.
Some of the guys on the deck had seen me slide down, and were now looking over at me, checking me out. How could they have noticed already? I came flying into the water pretty fast. I guess they must have spotted me when I took off my hoodie upstairs. I turned to watch for Ryosuke, but I could feel their eyes on me. I crouched down into the water to try to hide. The water was pretty clear though so they could probably see my buns under the surface.
Ryosuke came flying down even faster than I did. He claims that he doesn't like water sliders, but I think he must. He smiled when he came up.
"One more time?"
"Sure."
I walked over to the ladder to get out of the pool, but hesitated. There was no way that I would be able to cover up as I pulled myself up the ladder. I looked at Ryosuke, but he just motioned for me to go ahead. I looked over at the guys on the far side of the deck, and sure enough they were staring at me waiting for me to come out. I fiddled with my suit at the back, but it's not like it made any difference.
"C'mon. Let's go," Ryosuke urged, patting me on the bottom. I felt kind of shy being rushed, but I eventually turned, and climbed up the ladder. It felt like everyone was watching me. I scampered onto the deck, and quickly turned around. All these different people, men mostly, were staring right at me! It was pretty embarrassing.
I tried to keep my back to the wall as we walked toward the stairs. Ryosuke doesn't usually touch me in public, but this time he put his arm around my waist. I could feel his soft fingers slipping around on my naked skin. I pulled away because his hand was tickling me. He reached out to grab me again, so I ran away, but one of the lifeguards blew his whistle at me.
"No running on the deck!"
I stopped, and turned back to bow an apology to the lifeguard. As I straightened back up, I even more people turned to stare. I put my hand on my behind feeling for my swimsuit, but all I could feel were the cheeks of my bare behind. For a second, I thought my swimsuit had fallen off, but eventually, I found the strap buried deep in my butt crack. I gave it a little tug to try to coax it out, but I could feel the string working its way up inside my secret place. I started to slide my middle finger down the crack of my bottom, but people were watching. I turned my back to the wall again, but Ryosuke motioned for me to follow him to the stairs for the sliders.
"Stop playing with yourself," he scolded.
"I wasn't..." I couldn't believe it, that he would even think such a thing. I pulled away, and started up the stairs, but when I glanced back at him, he made this silly face. He didn't really believe it after all.
As soon as I made it up to the highest deck, I bent over, and scooped up my cover-up. I was feeling more and more nervous about walking around like that. Should I put it back on?
