The first installment in this series was based on a true story. Once again, I've fallen in love with one of my characters and can't leave well enough alone. This installment draws on some actual events which I've witnessed or participated in. However, this is completely a work of fiction. As always, any similarities to any real persons, places, or institutions are coincidental and unintended.
*****
My relationship with Terry Huebner had developed very quickly after I did my walking "streak" of the dairy bar. I feared that the relationship would not survive the summer break. Terry went home to suburban Chicago and I went home to Ohio. However, we talked by phone almost every day. Skype and the like did not exist back then.
Being home for the summer was not a great experience. My dad and I had never been particularly close. Mom and my younger brother were killed in a car crash the summer after I graduated from high school. While I had the start of college and football to motivate me, Dad completely withdrew for a time. When he came out of it, he started fucking Darla, the woman who worked for him at his insurance agency. By the summer after my sophomore year at Grimson, Darla was pregnant and had moved into our house. I suppose that I should have been glad that Dad had gotten on with his life, but the whole thing just seemed wrong to me.
I suppose that my attitude contributed to it, but Dad's attention was focused on his new family. I was definitely a relic from his old life.
Mercifully, I had to be back in Blue Fork to start football practice at the beginning of August. While Dad largely ignored me, he was fairly generous with money and handed me a check for $ 10,000 to rent an off campus apartment. I didn't tell him that the best apartments in Blue Fork were only $500/month utilities included. I also didn't tell him that I would be sharing the apartment with Terry. I doubt that he would have been interested.
Terry told me over the phone that she had told her parents that "a friend" was renting an apartment at school and had invited her to share it rent-free. Her folks were going to fund an apartment for her. Since that was taken care of, they bought her a car instead. It was a used Chevy, but it was clean and ran ok.
I had to take a cab from home to the bus station. Dad and Darla were out somewhere. The plan was for me to take the bus to Rockford, IL where Terry would meet me with her car. We would do the ten hour drive from there to Blue Fork together.
Terry was waiting for me at the Greyhound station. She looked even more beautiful than the image I'd carried in my head for the last two months. It was a warm day in late July. It didn't look like Terry had much on beneath her tee shirt and shorts. We hugged long enough to draw a few looks from people in the bus station. We finally broke our embrace and got into her car.
We had been driving for a little while when Terry pulled into a rest area in southern Wisconsin. She drove past the couple of cars already parked there and parked at the far end. I wasn't sure why we had stopped, but I got out of the car when Terry did. We met on the sidewalk in front of the car.
Smiling broadly, Terry said, "I want you out of those clothes now. All of them!"
I glanced around. There were a couple of people 60 or so yards away, but they didn't seem to be paying attention to us. I kicked off my shoes and pulled my tee shirt over my head.
"I'll take those," Terry said with a hand extended.
I gave Terry my shirt and shoes. I wasn't sure how far she wanted to go in a public place so I just stood there until Terry said, "Pants too, please."
Terry had said the magic word. I unbuckled my belt, unsnapped my jeans, and pulled the zipper down. I let the jeans drop to my feet, stepped out of them, and handed them to Terry.
"Um, underpants too," Terry said.
What the hell. I pushed my boxers over my hips and let them fall to the ground. I bent down, picked them up, and handed them to Terry. Terry left me standing there naked as she took my clothes to the back of her car, opened the hatch, and put them in. I saw Terry pull her shirt over her head and toss it into the car. She bent over, doing something else that I could not see for the car. Then she closed the hatch.
When Terry came back to the front of the car, she was as naked as I was. She gave me a quick kiss. "We'll be more comfortable this way," she said.
We rode the rest of the way to Blue Fork naked. We stopped for gas twice. The first time, Terry took a credit card out of her purse and got out of the car as if it was the most normal thing in the world to pump gas naked in the middle of nowhere. The second stop was my turn and I, of course, pumped the gas nude too. Neither of us had the balls to walk into the gas station nude to buy something to drink.
We were staying with Coach Scalfi while we looked for an apartment, so we didn't bother to get dressed when we got to Blue Fork that night. We parked in her driveway and went to her front door nude. I was a bit relieved that Coach Scalfi answered the door nude.
"I was pretty sure it was you two," Coach Scalfi said, "so I didn't bother covering up. I'd have had some pleasant embarrassment if it had been someone else. Have you two eaten anything?"
We had dinner and talked for a while before both getting into Coach Scalfi's guest bed. We didn't actually put clothes on again until we were ready to go apartment hunting the next morning. My budget allowed us to get one of the nicest furnished units in the town's one purpose-built apartment building. I wrote a check for ten months' rent upfront and still had a few thousand left over.
Terry and I moved into our apartment that evening. We spent a little time doing errands and a lot of time fucking over the next couple of days. Starting August 1, my life became consumed with football. It worked better than you might think because the girls played a shortened fall tennis season. Between our sports and school (in that order), we were pretty busy.
Terry and I did get to know each other's friends better. Terry's closest friend, other than me I hoped, was her doubles partner Carol Wellman. Carol was a brunette and a bit bigger than Terry. Not at all fat, she just had broader shoulders and hips and was taller. Carol was very bright and was ordinarily somewhat quiet. However, when she chose, she could be very funny. She was dating a pitcher on the baseball team, Rob Verkamp.
Terry and I stayed nude virtually all the time that we were home together. We would cover up if someone came over. Once football was over and winter had come, we resumed Friday night nude tennis with Coach Scalfi. Mainly, that was Coach Scalfi watching Terry play me and giving Terry pointers. I'm sure that violated some rule against out-of-season coaching, but I sure wasn't going to report them. Then, again, what competitive advantage could Terry derive from playing me?
Apart from our drive to Blue Fork the prior summer and our Friday night tennis, Terry had not gone nude in public or with anyone around other than me and Coach Scalfi. As the weather improved in the spring, people on campus began asking me whether I was going to streak again this year.
I routinely gave an ambiguous answer to that question until one day when Terry and I were lunching with a large group of friends and acquaintances in the dining hall. Someone asked if I was streaking again his year. Before I could give me usual non-answer, Terry answered for me.
"Of course he is," Terry said loudly, "and I'm going with him."
That comment drew some very surprised looks. No one expressly voiced doubt that Terry would really do it though. Maybe they thought that I had corrupted her.
Once we were alone, I asked her, "What is this about you streaking with me?"
Terry smiled. "Well, you seemed to be having a lot of fun with it last year so I thought about it a lot. The idea of everyone seeing me naked, not trying to conceal myself at all, is pretty exciting."
More to tease her than anything else, I said, "Don't I get any say in this?"
Terry laughed. "Shit. You've been waiting all year for me to go nude in public. You'll probably have a hard on the whole time."
"Would that bother you?" I asked.
"Hell no," Terry snorted. "I'll be thrilled for the other girls to see what I get in me every night. A little envy isn't a bad thing." I simply pointed out that we usually made love in the morning too.
Terry lined up Carol to be our "get away" driver and picked a date that seemed likely to have decent weather. Once again, it would be 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. Terry also made a point of telling everyone she could. I almost expected her to post flyers around campus.
"I want as many people as possible there to see us naked together," Terry explained to me. That did sound like fun. "I also want to tell enough people so that I can't chicken out."
"Would you chicken out?" I asked.
"I don't think so," Terry replied, "but, I've never really been naked in public. The idea that people who know me or at least have seen me around for three years are going to see my bare breasts, my bare ass, and my bare pussy is exciting but also scary. I wouldn't have thought of doing something like this before I watched you last year."
I was gratified that I was having a positive influence on Terry.
Terry, of course, talked about the streak with Coach Scalfi, who was very supportive. "I'm not going to be there," Marissa Scalfi said. "Since you're my player, I probably ought to stay completely away from it. But, I admire you for doing it. I'd like to see it. Hell, I'd like to go with you."
