The next day, Juliette called the front desk to send up for breakfast, and I knew she had regained all her energy and vice when she stripped completely naked behind my back as I opened the door to the waiter bringing us our coffee. Seeing him with his big, round eyes, I turned around and I had that look on my face that says "oh you're incorrigible, you're going to get me into trouble but I can't blame you", just like one of those old cheesy TV shows.
I quickly thanked the waiter and closed the door to his face, I really wanted to lecture Juliette, I wanted to tell her that I could get kicked out of the hotel with that kind of bullshit. She didn't really listen to me, and I wasn't trying too hard anyway. We were devouring our croissants and laughing at the waiter's reaction before I could even finish my first sentence. She did not apologized but she offered to spend the next night at her hotel, convinced that I would never dare to take revenge anyway. Clearly a way of manipulating me into doing it, and I admit I was tempted. Not so much for the revenge, but for the challenge.
However, that day was for both of us our first full day in Arcachon, so we walked around the city just like any other tourists, we went swimming in the ocean and relaxed under the warm sun to work on our tan. We even managed to find a spot away from prying eyes where we could get a full tan. My heart was pounding at first, I had never been so naked outdoors until now, and it was an incredible feeling, especially feeling the sun all over my bare body. I wish I didn't have to worry about being caught, otherwise I would be naked all the time.
When we got back to Juliette's hotel in the evening, she took my arm before we entered and said:
- Claire, if you like, I'd like to play a naughty game with you.
- Should I be scared? You have that crazy look in your eyes...
- My room's on the second to last floor and the elevator is pretty slow. Would you like to try something?
- What exactly are you thinking? The place doesn't look very busy, but we could still get caught...
- Don't worry, the risk in on me. And if I get thrown out, I'll just take a room at your hotel, she says with a smile no one could resist.
- All right, I'll be right behind you. What's on your mind?
- Once we are in the elevator, we get fully naked and then we exchange clothes, how about that? To gain some time, I suggest we don't put the underwear back on.
- You think I'm going to chicken out?
