I woke up late the next morning, and noticed that Menaka wasn't in bed once again. The thought about events of the last night when my girlfriend walked bottomless in front of my friends. When I had entered the bedroom after her, I expected her to be angry and upset from her loss. But instead she was extremely horny and we had ended up having very rough sex. I had intended to speak with her about the exposure and the flirting in the morning, but that would need to wait now till I find her.
Sam and Abhi were sitting in the hall as I walked out of the room. I asked them where Menaka was.
"Menaka and Dhruv went for a hike this morning," Abhi said. "She wanted some samples of a particular plant for her project. Must have gone quite early as none of us was awake when they left."
Sam seemed upset to have been left behind. "Yeah, we missed a fun hike," he said. "You snooze, you lose I guess."
I went back to the room to check my phone. There was a new WhatsApp group with the five of us. "Good idea," I thought and opened it.
The first message was sent by Menaka but was deleted already. This was followed by a thumbs up from Abhi and an "Awesome!!" from Sam. Next was Menaka, saying "Dhruv!! I will kill you!!" And finally there were laughing emojis from the three boys. I made a mental note to ask her about this exchange, and picked up my book.
Dhruv and Menaka arrived an hour later. Abhi and Sam welcomed them with loud cheer and I heard Menaka giggling and asking them to shut up.
"What's happening?" I asked her. She was wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt.
"Nothing," she said. "Your friends are all super cheap."
I probed again, and she said that when they reached a picture perfect spot on the edge of a hillock, she gave her phone to Dhruv and asked him to click a few pictures. But before returning the phone, he sent one of them to everyone. "I deleted it immediately of course," she continued, "But probably wasn't quick enough."
I asked to see the pictures. She took out her phone. Sam and Abhi said that they wanted to see all the pictures too as they had only received one. "Sure," she shrugged, "You've seen one, you might even seen them all."
The first pic just had the edge of the cliff. The sun was behind the photographer, so the lighting was excellent. There were a lot of colors with the greenery from trees in the valley, the flowers on the cliff and a stream of water in the distance.
"I clicked this first picture after i discovered this spot," she said with pride.
She scrolled to the next picture. She was in the frame now, but in shorts and a sports bra. Her white T-shirt was tucked in the waist band of her shorts and was hanging along her right leg.
"It was crazy hot," she explained. I guess this is why she deleted the photo. It wasn't that bad though - the sports bra had ample coverage and was nothing that would look out of place in a gym.
She scrolled ahead. There were a few more pictures of her posing against the same background. And then we got to a picture where she had ditched her shorts. She was facing away from the camera wearing just the sports bra and her thong.
"This was Dhruv's idea," she said. "Apparently it is a trend among millennials."
The next few pictures were in the same attire. She was looking away in all of them and making different poses.
"Where's the picture that you sent us?" Abhi asked.
"Patience," Dhruv said.
After a couple more similar pictures, the next one didn't have Menaka. It seemed the same as the first picture, but when i squinted, I realised that her shorts and T-shirt were sitting there in a pile.
As Menaka swiped to the next picture, I froze. Apparently, the pile of clothes didn't have just her shorts and T-shirt. Her sports bra and thong must have been in the pile of clothes too, because she was standing naked in the next picture. But she was facing away and we could only see her back and ass here.
"That's the one!" The boys said excitedly.
"Well this is the real millennial trend," Menaka told me. "I was hesitant at first, but Dhruv made a logical point that he had already seen my ass yesterday, so it won't be a big deal if i stood naked but facing away from him. And he was a perfect gentleman for the most part - not once did he attempt to view or photograph my front."
I was definitely pissed, but at some level I understood the logic that this wasn't really incremental exposure given the events of last night. And I am glad it was Dhruv and not Sam or Abhi, both of whom would have definitely tried to exploit the situation further.
"But of course, he did send this picture to all of you without my consent," Menaka added, to which the two boys gave a high five to Dhruv.
Menaka scrolled ahead. More pictures of her making different poses but with her back to the camera. In a few of them, we saw part of her face as she looked sideways but mostly it was the back of her head in the pictures.
A few pictures later, Menaka started picking her clothes. First the thong. The next couple of pictures had her putting it on. Weirdly, these seemed sexier than the ones where she was naked. Next came the shorts and finally the sports bra. Once she wore them all, she turned around to face the camera.
"Hey, can you scroll back once," Abhi asked. Menaka obliged. She was turning around in this after wearing her bra.
Abhi zoomed in the picture and exclaimed, "Nipple alert!"
The perv was right. It seems my girlfriend was a bit hasty in turning around and the picture got clicked before the bra completely covered her boobs. Her right nipple was in full view here.
"Oh shit, how did I miss that," Menaka said. There was some panic in her voice, but she didn't seem too distraught.
"Don't worry, we are not offended by your tittie," Sam joked.
"So generous of you," she replied in a mocking tone, and playfully slapped his arm.

The group sat down for breakfast. Menaka and Dhruv had purchased some fruits, and the boys used that to make a few crude comments.
"Menaka, can you please pass on the orange? I love the one to your right."
"Whoever thought just one grape could be so satisfying?"
Menaka giggled everytime someone joked about her accidental exposure, and the boys loved it.
"Grow up," she finally said, "They are just boobs. Half the world has them and no one in Europe thinks twice about them."
