Night had fallen over Cleveland an hour ago. Minutes ago my friend Barbara had left my Euclid Ave apartment. The week found her home alone and her husband Paul, a musician, spending a few days with longtime friends in California.
Her visits, though rather infrequent these days, are always a good time. We engage in girl talk, have a few laughs, consume a small pot of coffee and listen to jazz in the background.
Standing just 5' 3 she must tilt her head to meet my eyes a full 7 inches higher than hers. Her modest breasts are a B cup, two sizes smaller than mine. Even so, she is quite pretty, though I do at times wonder if she envies my boobs or is happy Not having them. At least she has never been asked if they'real. An uncouth male did once ask that. It's really none of his business.
At age 30 "Babs" teaches science to sophomores and Juniors in the Cleveland school system, a job which she has held for 5 years. That night she made a surprising revelation.
"I want to quit teaching. It dosen't pay enough to deal with the agrevation."
"Where would you work?"
"Anywhere, but I'll check out Ferro," she replied. "Maybe Paul can help get me in there."
"It's worth a try," I said.
That revelation came within the first five minutes of her visit. Just before leaving she made another revelation, this one a real shocker.
"I was preparing dinner in the nude the other day."
What could I say to that? My mouth went agape.
"That's nothng new for us. We enjoy not wearing clothing."
"Really," I exclaimed.
"My house, my rules," she replied, her tone matter of fact.
I immediately got a mental image of her inverted triangle shape.
"How long have you guys been nudists?"
"Since last summer," she replied. "On a lark we went to Drakes Ridge in Bennington, Indiana, a clothing free resort."
Why would she think I care where she stayed naked? It's not like I'll ever go to such a place.
"You seem to be very comfortable in the nude."
"We are," she replied.
I asked, "what about when company comes."
"At first we would put clothes on. After a while we said 'screw the clothes'."
"No one is shocked," I asked.
"They don't care."
On a deep level going skyclad appealed to me but I couldn't admit to that. I focused on work. At home I focused on staying fit, reading and keeping in touch with friends, anything to suppress the desire.
Barbara is one in a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, some of whom live in this building. Some are older than me. Some may be understanding, others judgemental. Some have had me as a guest and I have recriprocated. What would tenants reaction be if I decided to go skyclad, to do the unthinkable?
That visit was made o a Monday night, By Wednesday at 10m p.m I had made up my mind. In less than two minutes I climbed two flights of stairs and came out to the rooftop patio. Within seconds I slipped out of the black squareneck jumpsuit, bra and panties.
