Beach Trip: Oopsie!
Part two of Anne the Exhibitionist.
Friday we made plans to go to Plymouth beach on Saturday, and Sally went to spend the afternoon with Sue, who picked her up in her cute Triumph convertible. I had asked if we should invite Sue and she said maybe, so I left it to her. I did my usual and split the day between my garden and my latest book, a science fiction epic called Dune. It had come out a year or two earlier and I was just getting to it. And finding the author had created an entire new universe for my mind to play in! I had an old rocker under a tree by the lilacs I often sat in to read in good weather, which we had a lot of this time of year. With an aging crate next to it for a table, I had my own little spot and was pretty happy in it! After tending my flowers I got a glass of cold coffee and soon was far from earth, off on the planet Arrakis! I have always loved reading, and don't remember when I learned how. It just seemed I had been reading all my life. Sally told me once that mom taught her, and she thought I must have learned then too, but really she only remembered me reading right along, and not when I started. Sally liked adventurous mysteries, and lately her favorite was Dorothy Sayers and her Lord Peter tales.
I caught slight motion above my book and glanced, seeing a neighbor walking along the drive. I guessed they were coming to visit Mom, and realized from the distance with my feet tucked up and a book in front of me, no one would know I was naked until they came closer. That seemed quite fun til the two people turned my way and I saw it was Nell and Harry Inman, the town's pastor and her husband! About halfway to me, Nell (Reverend Inman to be precise) realized I was naked. And gave me a big smile, calling out it was a fine day to get an air bath! I remembered she was a great admirer of Mr. Franklin and he had suggested air baths as a method of curing the spirit and the body all at once. So I smiled back and said I was doing my best to follow Benjamin Franklin's advice and she positively glowed with delight! And told me she intended to include this in a sermon soon,. As more folks could learn from his advice and she was certain a regular air bath was good for the soul and mind both. From what I was now seeing it was also good exercise for one's eyeballs as both were looking me over quite a bit. Which of course I was liking a great deal.
I offered to locate mom and Nell said that would be excellent as she could talk with both of us. I led them to the patio and asked her to sit while I found mom and got some refreshments. Nell asked Harry to come with me to help out, so he followed me, and I was sure he was getting a good look. At least when I saw his face it looked very happy and was always aimed in my direction! Mom was doing the laundry. And asked me to bring drinks out and she would meet us shortly. I led Harry back to the kitchen and after asking made up several tall glasses of cold coffee, which he helped me carry outside. Like my Pop, I had seen before that Harry never scorned anything as women's work or claimed only men could do certain jobs. And he spoke to me like a person. Not a child and had since they came to town when I was 11. I had no crush on the man, but I liked him and Nell a good deal. They were very decent folks and I was now kind of happy since they seemed to think I was still a decent person too, even if I was naked! I was also happy that Harry was looking at me and I was now certain he liked what he saw. I was more than half convinced he also had a boner in his trousers, but they were baggy and I was not sure. But he was moving carefully, I could see that. So I hoped he did!
We were just outside with Nell for a moment when Mom came out, and after greeting each other we all sat down. Nell told us about some things happening at church soon and said she hoped we would be coming. We were members, if not the most regular attendees. But we all liked Nell and had gone more often since she took over the old church in town. I was surprised when Nell turned the conversation to me, and told mom she was impressed by my feeling free to be naked, much like Mr. Franklin and how good she thought that was. She even said it was too bad I couldn't go about town naked, as it would do even more good. Mom held back a grin as she said she was sure that would be a great amount of good for the whole town! We had a pleasant chat after that and as they left Nell again mentioned she planned to include nudity and it's virtues in a sermon soon!
I thought we were going to have a good laugh once they were out of earshot, but Mom surprised me. Saying that with Nell on my side now, no one was going to give me trouble for wanting to be naked, and I might even get a surprise, as all of the town selectman went to the church too. For a moment I was lost in a daydream of walking about town naked everywhere and loved the idea! Then I came back to earth and said I doubted anything much would come of it. Mom said not to be too sure, because stranger things had happened in her life. And perhaps at least she and I should go to services a little more often. We made plans to go on Sunday and I didn't think too much about the rest. I did give mom some grief about saying Sue could "sleep over", but in a mostly joking way. Mom said I was free to meet a boy at school and bring him home too and she would say the same. I reminded her that Wellesley was a women's school and she smiled and said she was aware of that too! We had a good laugh and soon Sue came up the drive with Sally. Once again Mom asked her to supper and she accepted. Sally looked pretty happy. Over dinner we had quite a chat. Tonight Pop joined in more too, I think he had been afraid of scaring Sue off before. Shouldn't have been and I think he knew that now.
I mentioned our plans for the beach tomorrow and asked Sue if she would like to come. She surprised me by saying she would love to, another tine, but sisters need time together too. I told Sally, half serious that if she didn't keep this one I was scooping her up! Sally didn't take offense, and even agreed with me that Sue was a pretty great girlfriend. Mom said that was as obvious as the fact that Sue loved her a great deal. They both did that staring into each others eyes thing for a minute, like the world went away for them then. Mom and Pop did that still at times and I wondered what it was like. Mom also mentioned Nell's visit, and what she said about me specifically. Sally said it would be pretty cool if I got to go grocery shopping naked, or even to my job! I said it was too unlikely, but both Pop and Sue said I could be surprised as anything could happen and sometimes did! Oddly that made me feel good, but I still doubted that the town was going to suddenly allow nudity.
Sue left and in bed I asked Sally what she thought. She said (like the rest had) that you never know what can happen, so I asked her about the staring thing and what it was all about. She said it was a lot like when you daydream, something I did a lot of, but you just felt connected somehow to the other person. It was pretty sweet by the sound of it. In turn Sally asked me if I was feeling kind of gay now? I laughed and said no, but she had to admit Sue was not one to waste. I think she needed me to reassure her and seemed happy as we went to sleep. After breakfast I went and put my suit on and Sally said it was very pretty and surprisingly modest too. I grinned and said to wait til it gets wet and we laughed. Mom and Pop were off for a day of picking beach plums on the upper Cape and had left already.
We put our towels and stuff in the trunk and I explained my idea. After retrieving the tanning oil she agreed to leave the rest behind and I could tell she was excited too. We drove to Plymouth and like me, she was just wearing her swimsuit, a sexy two piece and a pair of sandals. I parked at the very end of the lot, to have the longest walk possible. Sally got that right away and said she didn't mind at all the walking was pleasant with the ocean breezes, and on the way back she can see my bum the whole way! I grinned and asked if she really liked looking at me naked and she told me she very much did and had for years but never said anything. I told her maybe I was weird, but I liked knowing that, kind of a lot. She said it wasn't weird to her, she thought it was normal to want others to like the way you look and in my case, my outfit was just me! I said that actually made sense and gave her a hug.
Down on the beach I looked around and so did she. We picked a spot down a good ways, close to the water and far from the lot and my escape route. Sally said she planned to make sure I was naked as long as possible with my audience and I said she was my favorite sister. We both giggled a little. I said I wasn't going into the water til we had a good crowd, and had had a good day here too. Sally said that was considerate and no surprise, she knew I liked her. I said only a lot ad we laughed again as we put on some oil. She went down to the water after a while and swam briefly. On her return she said I was going to love it, the east wind had warmed the bay very nicely. We sat down and drew in the sand and talked, then lay on our stomachs on the sand. The warm sun and soothing sounds of the surf did the usual and I fell asleep. Sally did too, but woke first. When I did too she was sitting up and looking at me. I looked around and asked how she was feeling. She said anytime was good now, we can go for a swim or keep waiting. I rolled over and sat up to to look around. And saw a group of young men, older than us but only by a year or so. They were playing with a football on the beach, half in the surf as they tossed it back and forth. I grinned and said "Perfect" out loud.
Sally followed my eyes and grinned, asking if I wanted to shake my naked butt at them? I said I really did and she laughed and said let's go! We got up and ran to the water with Sally in the lead. She angled so we ran past the guys, who gave us an appreciative look as we did. We waded out to our waists and dove in, swimming a little further out. We both swam well and enjoyed it too, so this was fun. I paused a moment and found the bottom, barely with my toes and moved in a little. Sally did too and started splashing me and soon we were both horsing around and having fun. Then she asked how log this took, because she was still seeing a suit covering my ass. I said that was a naughty word and we laughed like kids together. I also told her I wasn't sure, but it was supposed to be about five minutes. And as I did I felt a seam let go!
