Even at 40 years old I have a slim shapely body. Pumping my legs on an elliptical at Planet Fitness certainly helps in that regard. At 126 pounds my figure is an elegant vase shape.
Not too long ago a longtime friend mentioned that she is a naturist and that her first time was 5 years ago. The then 36 year old wanted to "make life interesting". Her favorite place to exercise her "God given right" is on Drake Ridge Road in Bennington, Indiana, a long ride from southern Ohio where we both live.
Looking at her across the metallic lattice table on my balcony I simply said, "No way", rather emphatically I might add. Why does Leah think I want run around naked? Why does anyone want to be an exhibitionist?
I lit a cigarette and set the pack on the table. Smoke streamed from my lips leaving a small blue cloud hanging in front of me.
Leah has a pear-shaped figure of short stature. Her boobs are a modest B cup. She's not unattractive in her face. She has spectacular high cheekbones, full lips, an upturned nose and green eyes. Strawberry-blond hair frames a face that combines oval and heart shapes.
Anyway, over the next few days I couldn't stop thinking about public nudity. Why couldn't I stop thinking about it? Maybe it has something to do with a childhood incident. I had just come home from first grade and saw my mom sitting nude watching television in the kitchen.
Minutes later mom got dressed only because she decided that we had to go shopping. She had said to me that "there's not a thing wrong with nudity. That's your right."
Though not a regular event in my home, it wasn't the first such incident.
As for smoking, I had bummed one just to calm myself for the CPA exam which, by the way, I passed easily. Long before that day was over a powerful craving had to be satisfied so I purchased my first ever pack. It was New Port Lights.
Unable to stop thinking about going going sky-clad, I finally took the decision to stay at a nudist campground. My stay should be without Leah. I can ask my cousin Samantha.
The 38 year old divorcee enjoys camping and would be more than happy to spend a few days with me.
Two weeks later..
A very warm first Saturday morning in August finds Sam and me on our way to Drake Ridge Rustic resort in my red Toyota Camry. I am wearing a Charcoal T-shirt dress but with neither bra nor panties. To conceal the plan I did put a suitcase in my trunk. Sam doesn't have to know that it's empty.
Both of us enjoy listening to books so we're playing "The House of Gucci", a selection that I had recently purchased. Both of us can be very fashion conscious sometimes. That's part of the appeal of this narrative.
We were a half hour away from our destination when I mentioned that I've never been to this spot but that I had heard a lot about it from my girlfriend Leah.
"She spends a week at the place every year in a nice cottage."
"My x husband and I stayed at a campground the year we got married, but just that one time. We were only there for a weekend."
"Your honeymoon?"
"Our honeymoon," Sam replied.
She had spoken extensively in the past about the marital problems. She opted to bury the past so I didn't dig.
"Are you dating again?"
"Yah, but it's not serious. His name is Jarred."
