The story so far: I'm a 23-year old American who's just finishing up a one year work stint in Japan as an English professor in a small college on the coast south of Tokyo. Here I was all set to go home, when suddenly one morning, one of my students, a cute 19 year old named Ai, gives me a peek up her skirt. She's going commando, and it turns out she is doing it to get me to stay another year. Problem is I've got a girlfriend back in the States, Elise, but anyway, I got so worked up about the whole thing, I developed a fever, and ended up staying home from work. The next morning Ai shows up at my flat, starts cooking for me, doing my laundry, and generally driving me crazy by walking around naked. Where I left off last time, she had just gone off to check in on her grandfather who lives nearby.
Around suppertime, Ai showed up again with more groceries, which she finally let me pay her for. She cooked another great meal. Under her care, I was starting to feel much better. After supper, she got out her English textbooks, and worked on her homework asking me questions every once in a while. Before I knew it, it was getting pretty late.
"Hadn't you better be getting home?"
"That's OK. I already phoned my parents. I told them I was staying with Asuka."
I didn't know that much about Asuka, but apparently the two of them were good friends. According to Ai, Asuka had been going out with the same guy for quite some time. She was apparently the one who had told Ai that 'going commando' gets guys hot. I was kind of shocked by this. I thought that most of the women in our college were quite shy, and generally knew little about such things. Asuka, it turns out, was quite a font of little tidbits about handling guys. I wasn't used to being 'handled' although once I'd thought about it, I realized that Elise probably treats me the same way. Elise, mind you, always wears underwear.
"Can I take shower?" Ai asked. The question caught me off guard. This was all starting to get a bit more serious than I'd expected. I appreciated all her help, but I'd been thinking that at some point, she would head home. Ai, however, had other ideas. On the other hand, it was kind of nice having her around, and if I ever get my strength back, I'd like to... well, get to know her better. In any case, I didn't want to argue with her, so I lay back down, and mumbled,
"Uh, yeah... OK... sure."
She looked happy. She gathered up her stuff, and headed into the washroom. While she was in the shower, the doorbell rang. I had no idea who it was, so I just ignored it. It rang again, and Ai came out of the washroom, dripping wet, clutching a towel in front of her.
"Who is it?" she whispered. I shrugged. She tiptoed over to the door, and peeked through the hole. The towel she'd grabbed was too small to wrap around her, so I could see her bare ass. She spread her legs as she went up on tiptoe to see out. Just below her cute butt cheeks, I could see this black tuft of pubic hair dripping water. Oh no. Here we go again.
"It's old man wearing glasses... probably NHK." The national TV broadcasting network. They came around every so often to collect a twenty-dollar subsidy, sort of like a tax.
"You no want to pay?" she asked me, glancing over her shoulder at me, her legs apart. Again I was finding it hard to concentrate on the question given her provocative pose. Unfortunately, the guy outside heard her voice, and called out,
"{Good evening. It's NHK.}"
I reluctantly sat up, and looked around for my wallet. Ai cautiously unlocked the door, and opened it just wide enough to peek her head out.
"{Sorry. You've come to collect the subsidy, haven't you? Just wait a moment, and I'll bring it.}" Her Japanese was so polite. I wondered how she could be so calm standing there soaking wet in just a tiny towel a few feet from a complete stranger. She let go of the door, expecting it to close, and came back to get the money from me.
The NHK man, understandably curious on seeing a half naked beauty answer the door, pushed it open till he could see Ai now standing with her bare back to him, still clutching the small towel to her breast. I gave her the money, and she turned to run back to give it to him. On seeing him standing there staring at her, she stumbled, and lost her grip on the towel. It dropped to the floor, leaving her buck naked. The old guy seemed pretty shocked.
"Kyaaa!" she cried out scrambling to pick up the towel with her free hand. Her cheeks had gone rosy red, but I couldn't help wondering if she hadn't half planned it to happen like this. Her breasts rose, and fell rapidly as she breathed in and out. Her nipples had perked right up.
These NHK blokes are for the most part quite a serious lot, but this particular one was making no bones about staring at Ai. She reached down with her free hand for the towel, and vainly tried to spread it across her front. She was so nervous that she dropped the towel again. Covering her pussy with her free hand, she walked over to him, completely naked, and handed him the money. She looked so embarrassed. The man was awestruck, but continued to stare at Ai as she came back, and scooped up the towel.
"{Sorry. I was in the shower,}" she explained.
The two of us stared at him. He slowly came out of his stupor, and realized he had to give us a receipt. He was so rattled that his hands shook as he tried to punch my name and such into his handheld receipt machine. Ai had finally got the towel spread out wide enough to cover both her breasts and pussy, but she was shivering.
"{It's a bit cold. Would you mind shutting the door?}"
He looked at the door and then us, unsure whether to stay in or go out, but eventually opted to stay on the inside. He kept looking over at Ai nervously, but she continued to face him in order to hide her bare behind. Eventually, he handed her the receipt, and excused himself. As soon as he was gone, Ai looked at me, and broke out laughing. She started twirling the towel around above her head doing this little dance, obviously enjoying being naked.
"That was so funny. You see his face? Look so surprised, ne?" She started jumping up and down, and eventually jumped right over on top of me knocking me back onto the bed. I knocked my head against the headboard. Dazed I looked at her as she gyrated her sexy hips back and forth while straddling me. She noticed I was hurt, and leaned forward to kiss me on the forehead. Overcome with desire, I reached out to grab her, but somehow she managed to slip out of my grasp. She ran over, and plopped her cute behind down on the step by the front door, and started to buckle up her sandals.
"Ai, what? Where are you going?"
She held up the towel.
"To get bigger towel. Must be dry now."
"Ai!"
She stood up, holding the towel in one hand, and put the other on the doorknob.
"Don't worry. I be right back." She peeked out through the hole again, and judging that the NHK man had gone, lifted the towel to cover her front, and carefully opened the door. Her bare bottom and legs were still glistening with water from the shower. She stepped out very cautiously at first, but then the door fell shut, and it was quiet. I was so worried that I got up, put on my house robe, and hurried out after her.
It was pretty dark out, but some of my neighbors still had their lights on. A couple of blocks away, there was a major street, and you could hear the cars. My heart was pounding with worry, but the cool night air helped calm my lust. I ran up to the roof, and found her squatting down at the edge of the roof looking down at the street. She had already found one of my large towels, and wrapped it around her. She looked over at me, smiling.
"It's nice night," she murmured happily. I squatted down next to her. A gentle breeze tossed about the wisps of her long black hair. She looked rather beautiful outlined against the dark starry sky.
"Aren't you sleepy?" I asked. She shut her eyes, pretending to go to sleep, and then opened them again.
"OK. Let's go back."
I looked at her as she walked on ahead, the large fuzzy towel wrapped tightly around her. I felt so confused. One minute, she acted like this crazed nympho; the next, a calm and gentle saint. How could the same woman pull all these crazy stunts? It's a lucky thing the guy from NHK didn't freak when she kept dropping the towel. I almost did.
We walked back to my room, and then she picked up her bag, and disappeared into the bathroom again. When she came out, she was wearing a long and fairly conservative nightie. It looked like an overly long t-shirt that went down almost to her ankles. First, the jeans this afternoon, and now this. It seemed like she dressed conservatively most of the time. Sure, the miniskirts she wore in class were pretty revealing, but that's the fashion.
I had a shower too, and when I came back out, she had spread two spare futons from my closet on the floor. It may seem strange, but I almost felt relieved. I had half expected her to jump into bed with me, but in any case, I was still sick. I got into my own bed. She turned out the lights, and tucked herself in.
"Good night," she said cheerfully. Soon, she was fast asleep. I lay there watching her for a while, and then drifted off to sleep myself.
In the middle of the night, I heard some noise, and woke up. Ai came out of the washroom, and went over to my fridge. Noticing I was awake, she turned to me, and announced,
"No more juice."
I was feeling a bit dehydrated myself, so I got up, and had a look. It seemed we'd polished off all the stuff she'd bought that day.
"There's a twenty four hour convenience store, just down the way a bit," I mused.
She got out her backpack, and started to put on her sandals.
