All three of us signed up to enter the contest and then returned to our table to finish our liquid courage before show time. Rather than talk, we simply looked at the crowd and sipped our drinks. The crowd was actually more diverse than I thought it would be. Yes, there were more men than women, but there really were a lot of women, many more than signed up to enter the contest. There were couples that looked like they were on dates. There were groups of friends, some all guys, some all girls. There were people in formal attire, looking like they had come straight from work. There was one large, rowdy group of guys that looked like they might be at a bachelor party. And there were some single people at the bar and at tables in the front. Some of them looked lonely, while others looked like they couldn't wait for the action to start.
Soon, the lighting changed and the emcee returned to the stage. "Last chance to sign up for the wet T-shirt contest." Two giggling women scurried toward the bar and added their names to the list at the last minute. "Alright, all you lovely ladies who are ready to strut your stuff for a chance to win cash prizes, please head to the door to my right in order to slip into something more comfortable. The contest will begin in about 5 minutes. Are we excited or what?" There was a cheer from the crowd.
Yasmín stood up. "Show time is go time, ladies. Let's head backstage."
Alexis and I looked at each other. "Are we really about to do this?" she asked.
"It looks like we are." We both stood up, our trepidation a sharp contrast to Yasmín's enthusiasm. A sizable crowd of women filed through the door and crammed into a small room with benches, lockers, and mirrors.
One of the bartenders met us backstage and announced the directions. "Listen up, ladies. These boxes contain different sized tee-shirts: small, medium, and large. Otherwise, they are all the same. You can leave your clothes in the lockers and change back here after the contest. Contestants should leave their bras here, obviously. Seeing your points is the whole point. You are not going to win if you are wearing a bra. On-stage, you should wear only the tee shirt and your panties. Trust me, you don't want to wear anything else, because you don't want to wear wet clothes for the rest of the night. I speak from experience." There was nervous laughter. "If your panties get too wet, you can always stick them in your purse and go commando for the rest of the evening. Twenty of you have signed up, so we'll have four groups of 5 girls at a time. The groups will be in the order your name is listed on the sign-up sheet. The winner of each round will go to the final round. The winner of the final round will win a cash prize of $200 and your tab will be covered; 2
nd
place will get $100; 3
rd
place will get $50; and 4
th
place will get a drink on the house. 5
th
place should definitely enter again on a weeknight." There was more nervous giggling. "After the contest, please leave the tee shirts in that hamper in the corner. Yes, I wash them after each contest. Any questions?" There was silence. "Alright, best of luck to you all!"
Everyone began to pull their tops off and undo their bras, some faster than others. Alexis and I looked at each other and did the same. We each grabbed a tee shirt from the box of mediums and began to slip them on.
"No," Yasmín reprimanded us in a whispered tone. "Put those back. Get a size small. It will make your boobs look bigger. Plus, when the small shirts get wet, they will still stay skin tight, so your tits will remain visible. The big ones drape like curtains. They aren't as sexy." We shrugged our shoulders and did as she said. Other women were already stripping off their pants and skirts, so we did the same. Luckily, all of us had worn sexy underwear. Soon all the women were in panties, tee shirts, and heels, ready for the contest to begin.
"I'm going to call your names, and I want you to line up in that order," announced the bartender. We got in line. Although the three of us were one after another in line, Yasmín was in a separate group of five from Alexis and I. I was hoping that we would be together for support, but at least she was going before us. We heard the emcee call out the first group and the crowd cheered. We waited nervously in silence while we listened and imagined what was happening on stage. After the first round was over, the girls returned to the locker room. Their faces were flushed with excitement and embarrassment, and their shirts left nothing to the imagination. The girl who won was beaming, but even the others looked really happy, and somewhat relieved. They were all chatting excitedly. Then, the second group was called up to the stage, and the cycle repeated itself. The third group included Yasmín.
"Good luck!" we both said.
She turned around with a huge smile. She was playing with her nipples. "Start stimulating your nipples now. It will look better on stage. Plus, it feels great!" She winked and then disappeared behind the curtain. We listened attentively as the emcee had the girls introduce themselves. Yasmín's voice sounded sultry. Though we couldn't see from backstage, we joined the cheers for her when the audience was voting by making noise for their favorite contestant. We squealed again when the emcee announced that she won her round.
When Yasmín came back, we hugged and congratulated her. She pinched both of our nipples, making us yelp. "That's to make them stand at attention. Be confident out there. Remember, they want to see you, and you want them to see you. All of you!" Then, she swatted us on our butts. "Have fun!" We took deep breaths and walked out onto the stage.
My heart was pounding as I followed Alexis and the other girls. The spotlight blinded us, making us pause temporarily, and then we lined up next to the emcee as our eyes adjusted. The crowd whooped and clapped. Their cheering made me smile, but it also made me sweat, as I realized how many people were looking at us, or more specifically, looking at our boobs.
"Ladies, you all look amazing tonight! Am I right?" The audience cheered. The emcee knew how to whip the crowd into a frenzy. "But I think we can make them look even more amazing if we add some water to their wardrobe, don't you think?" More cheering. "I wonder what they will look like if I spray their tee-shirts. I'm going to aim for the bulls eyes! Let's give it a shot!" Each girl squealed when he sprayed their chest with water. The more he sprayed, the more the shape of their boobs became visible and the more transparent the material became, revealing their dark nipples and areolas under the white shirts.
Alexis was penultimate and I was last in line, which gave me more time to consider what was happening. I was practically shaking from nerves, but I tried to imagine what Yasmín would do. When the emcee finished with Alexis, and stepped toward me, I decided to do a little spin for the audience. With my backside to the crowd, I bent forward a little and shook my thong-covered ass, before completing the turn and facing forward again. The crowd roared and the emcee said, "Whoa, it looks like we've got one that's hot to trot. I better cool her down. Let's get her really wet—if you know what I mean—and see what else she wants to show us!" The first blast of water was cold and made me jump. The audience cheered. He kept spraying until my shirt was soaked. I could feel my nipples hardening even more as they reacted to the cold water, straining against the tight material. When he was finished, he stepped to the side to let everyone admire his handiwork. I pushed my chest forward, and used my arms to squeeze my boobs from the side, making them even more prominent.
"Now let's see who the audience chooses for the winner of this round. Is it contestant number 1?" The crowd clapped and there was some whistling, but it didn't sound very enthusiastic. The second girl received a better response. The third girl, the one with the biggest tits in our group, got a loud cheer. When it was Alexis' turn, I cheered too, along with the guys in the audience. The crowd wasn't as loud as the 3
rd
girl and I felt bad for her. I gave her a consolation kiss on the cheek, which the crowd liked a lot. Then it was my turn. The crowd cheered, but it didn't sound loud enough to beat the 3
rd
girl, so I gave a little shimmy and lifted my arms above my head. They got louder, which emboldened me further, so I cupped my boobs from underneath and squeezed them. The audience roared loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner! Contestant number 5, Layla—she'll slay ya—has won round 4! Congratulations to all of you lovely ladies. You're all winners in my book. You may head backstage and we'll bring out the final group." Alexis gave me a congratulatory hug and the crowd clapped again as we made our way off stage.
