"I can't wait to get on the beach!" Said Sarah.
We were sitting on the transfer bus, waiting to get to our hotel. The coconut trees and flowering shrubs around the carpark were a world different from the snow at home. I was breathing a sigh of relief that the flight had gone so smoothly. Now we just needed to get to the hotel and check in.
Sure enough, check-in had no hitches, and we were in our room, looking out over the pool before we knew it.
"Beach, Pool or lunch?" I asked Sarah.
"How about we get ready to swim, then go get lunch on the beach?" She replied.
"Sounds good to me!" I said as I opened my suitcase.
It was our first time to an all-inclusive. We had saved up for a year to have our beach vacation and we were really looking forward to our adults only resort. Sun, drinks, food, and swimming in the ocean were all calling for us. Except for one problem.
"Sarah, I can't find my swim trunks. Have you seen them?
"I'm sure I saw them at home" she answered. "Did you forget to put them in?"
"Oh no!" I exclaimed. "I must have. My shorts aren't suitable for swimming, Do you think the gift shop will have some?"
"Well, we can take a look, but you can always wear some of my bottoms." Sarah teased.
"How about we go get lunch and take a look in the hotel shop?"
"We can try that," said Sarah as she deftly flicked a pair of black bikini bottoms my way.
Lunch was fine, but I was annoyed at having forgotten my swim trunks and had a hard time fully enjoying it. I was a bit pushy to get to the shop to try to remedy my forgetfulness as quickly as possible.
"$105 for a pair of swim trunks! We don't have that in our budget!" I moaned.
"My offer still stands." Said Sarah. "There are lots of Europeans around, nobody will notice you in my bottoms, and nobody really cares what you wear."
I sighed with rejection. Back in the room I picked up the bottoms she had offered. They really weren't much different than a speedo, and they would fully cover me. As I put them on, I realized that, in fact, I was a little excited to be wearing Sarah's swimsuit. It fit nicely and was incredibly comfortable. I still wasn't sure about being in public wearing it, but I didn't have lot of choice.
I also realized that nobody was going to be looking at me. Sarah put on her white bikini. It showed lots of cleavage and barely covered her front. When she turned around, I realized that she was wearing a thong.
"You look amazing!" I said as I stared. "I forgot how nice your bum was. Are you sure you are OK with everyone else seeing it too?"
"They can look," she responded, "but only you can touch!" She said as she came in for a big hug.
We ventured out of the room to explore and go for a swim. I was certainly self conscious, but I quickly realized that I didn't stand out at all. My swimsuit looked like half of the other guys on the beach.
We collected some towels and headed for the beach. Dropping our towels onto an empty lounger, we ran down to the ocean. I made sure that she was ahead of me so that I could watch her nice bum. I suspect that anyone looking closely could see that the front of my swimsuit was holding something that it wasn't designed for.
After a few minutes of paddling and jumping waves, I remembered what I was wearing. "This suit feels great," I told Sarah, "no binding, so flexible, and not pinching anything. I think it turns out that forgetting my trunks might not have been that big of an issue. I guess I'll be wearing this all week."
"You can always wear one of my thongs!" suggested Sarah.
"Um, I really don't think they would contain me, and I'm not sure I'm ready to have my bum on display. And your color choices might not really suit me anyway, I know you like pastels."
"We'll see!" was all she replied.
We moved to the pool -- and the pool bar, and by the time the afternoon was coming to a close, we were not feeling any pain.
"Dinner isn't for a couple more hours," Said Sarah. "Want to go for a walk on the beach?"
"Dressed like this?" I asked.
"Why not?" she said as she winked.
"Show-off!" I accused her. "I will if you will, I will."
Honestly, the beach walk was more of a chance to enjoy the late afternoon. People were packing up and we weren't in a crowd. I certainly was proud to be with Sarah, and she walked with confidence, despite being dressed in a small bikini.
