We had a week before graduation and were damn festive about it. The weather teased us with hints of the coming summer. My friend Sarah called to tell me they were meeting over at Johnny's in a bit. I quickly ate dinner and told my parents where I'd be. As it was warm on I wore my favorite shorts and white sleeveless tee and Tevas. Less than ten minutes later I walked up the steps to Johnny's and could easily hear the music and voices laughing.
"Janis!" they called as I walked in. Johnny was the first over and offered me a big hug. Sarah waved and with her were Michelle and Eric. They were already drinking so I pounded my first beer. Johnny of course wanted me to drink fast. He'd been trying to get me to kiss him for years. Unfortunately for him I'd always been involved with someone else, though even now, with Paul and I split up, I wasn't really ready to go that route.
We played quarters for a while. Sarah and Johnny were kicking the rest of our asses. Michelle was getting hammered and so was Eric. We then played Duck and another card game which was hard. The rules were difficult and the penalty was that you had to slam a beer. If you wanted to opt out of the beer you had to complete a dare decided by the others. That the dares could not include getting completely naked or sex were the main exceptions.
I lost the first round quickly and slammed my beer. Eric followed twice and then I got hit again.
"Dare." I said, opting out of the beer.
Johnny quickly shot out that I should take off my bra. I thought he was kidding at first, but he had a great grin on his face and looked anxiously towards the others.
"No nudity," I reminded them.
Sarah and the others whispered and told me that it was fair. That I had to take off my bra with my shirt on right there with them watching. I looked in disbelief at them. Eric was suddenly sober, apparently realizing how flimsy my shirt was to begin with. It was generic and oversized. I often allowed a strap to hang off my shoulder and it dawned on me that perhaps this was a way for the others to get back at me for being a tease.
"Come on chicken shit", Michelle offered boldly.
I said alright and took a strong gulp to settle myself. Oddly I was as turned on as I was nervous. I wasn't interested in either Sean or Johnny. I really didn't want to lead them on thinking something further was going to happen here. I reached up behind me trying not to smile. They had big dumb looks on their faces. Kids. Twisting on the chair I inadvertently thrust out my chest so that the fabric of my bra was clear against my shirt. With my fingers on the clasp I stopped to think what the hell was I doing. Take it off, Eric pleaded almost immediately. Alright, I said. And with a nervous ease I unhooked the clasp. It seemed like the loudest noise in the world as I could feel all their eyes burning on me. I twisted a little and the shoulder straps immediately loosened, sagging from my embarrassingly hard nipples.
"Take it off baby," they hooted.
Pulling the strap from my left shoulder and down my arm the shirt stretched against my breast and I caught Eric leaning to get a look at my untanned skin. I quickly freed my arm and pulled the bra out from my right. My chest felt incredibly exposed and cool as they laughed and made cat-calls with my nipples jutting against the fabric. Johnny reached and grabbed my bra, enticing me to lean towards him but I sat with my arms over my chest to end the display.
Come on they sang, laughing through the next few rounds as I grew accustomed and slightly erotic. Johnny and Eric behaved enough that I uncrossed my arms, though I was constantly catching one or the other with straying eyes. For a while, no one opted the dare. Then Eric was made to walk around with his pants down to his ankles. He wore boxers so he didn't seem to mind too much until Michelle pushed him and he almost tripped.
