I don't usually sit down and write like this, especially as what I'm writing is true, and happened to me about a year ago. I've changed the names and not specified the location but the actions are authentic, and the people real. I hope you enjoy it, as I still can't quite believe it happened to me. Sure I've added a rhetorical flourish here and there but the narrative follows events pretty closely.
It all started with a dream. I'd call it a low fever which brought it on, an early summer cold that knocks you back and drags your thoughts downwards to the gutter. Somewhere in between tossing and turning, my vision a jumble of seductive, twisting limbs, the lowering sun glinting off the surf, an idea was planted which stuck with me when I woke up. I'd no idea what it would turn into yet.
I was 24, I'd just finished a year of a real job, saved some money and put a deposit on a house (with a little help from my parents). I wouldn't call my life blessed, I worked hard and didn't go out much, watching youtube videos and occasionally going to the gym. My life was vanilla, no, blander than that. Few friends, few real interests except work, and almost no free time.
The best thing in my life was my gorgeous girlfriend, Eleanor. She was 5"6, a petite size 10, piercingly intelligent, a natural, sandy blonde with small, beautiful pert tits and a striking pale complexion. Frustratingly, she was also hundreds of miles away, studying at the university I'd graduated from a year hence. We'd had our moments of doubt and a couple of facetious arguments, but for some reason I still can't understand she was besotted with me, and I with her. We'd been together two years.
We skyped to communicate, and a couple of nights after the dream I logged on to chat. The conversation as I remember it revolved around her imminent graduation and how excited she was. I'd got time off work to travel up and attend the ball they throw afterwards. I'd never bothered with it in my final year after graduation, and to be honest I was more interested in getting my little drunk girlfriend back home afterwards for some long overdue sex! She was picking out dresses in her mind (she has dozens, a real girly girl in that respect).
"Aren't you excited?" she said, her brow furrowing cutely.
"I am, of course I am darling." Of course I wasn't. It would be pleasant but not spectacular.
"You don't sound that interested. Roy and Nina will be there."
Roy was one of my oldest friends. We'd met in University and he'd fallen for a friend of mine, Nina. He'd taken a job in the big city near the university, so they could be together. I really liked them both, and they'd been together almost as long as we had. Roy was about 5"8, broadly built and slightly dark in complexion, and if he'd been any shorter I'd have said he was a little overweight for his age. Nina - well I'd had a bit of a crush on Nina before I hitched up with Eleanor. She was about 5"4, also a size 10 but curvier with a much larger bust, quick-witted, with a brilliant smile and a soft, round face. She'd dyed her hair blonde but she was naturally a brunette - it suited her, she could pull off dresses that exposed her larger, milky-white cleavage.
"That all sounds great hunni. I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time. Did I tell you about my dream?"
"No," she said, intrigued, "what dream?"
I wasn't one for dissecting what my brain did at night, so she knew something was up the moment I said it. I told her, making up the details, filling in the gaps, about the mysterious, erotic dream and the cryptic flashes of fire and sun off the sea. I wove a story out of a few erotic memories as best I could.
"Sounds like you were on a beach, having a REALLY good time" she said, smiling coyly.
"Perhaps I was skinny dipping" I mused, nonchalantly. Her eyes widened;
"Let's do it! Can we do it? It's on my list of things to do before I leave."
"Skinny dipping?"
"Yeah, it'll be SO fun" she grinned happily, showing off her beautiful, perfect set of white teeth.
All of a sudden the idea arrived in my head, perfectly formed. A romantic little fire set in the dunes, some towels, a blanket to lie on and a bottle of wine in a portable chiller. I wouldn't need to take her back to her house at all!
"Sounds great!" I said, enthusiastically, "How about straight after the ball finishes? They'll be no-one around!"
"Sounds amazing darling, let's do it! I can invite Roy and Nina."
Poof! Up went my plan in smoke. Instead of beautiful, romantic beach sex we'd have two interlopers - good friends, but interlopers nonetheless. I doubted they'd even want to skinny dip at all.
"Are you sure they'd really want to get involved?" I said, precariously.
"I'll ask. Nina said it's something she's always wanted to do."
Getting a flash of Nina's impressive jugs wouldn't quite make up for it, but I gave in, figuring I could try to get round it somehow later.
"Ok great," I said.
I can honestly say the next time I thought about it was on the plane up to the grad ball. I reached down into the net bag on the seat in front and saw a beautiful picture of a palm on a beach, fronds swaying from the wind. It was early summer and the air had turned warm and moist, reaching a balmy 80 F. At the arrivals lounge I bought myself a couple of duty-free towels and a deep red patterned blanket, not my favourite colour but I guessed it would be one-use only, so I didn't mind shelling out for it.
Eleanor picked me up in her car, and we embraced lovingly and kissed for a few minutes.
"I'm so glad to be here, to be your date tonight" I said. I meant it too - she could look show-stoppingly stunning when she put her mind to it.
"Have a look in the back," she said, noticing my blanket with the price tag still on.
I moved round to the back and saw a box of small logs and box of kindling - clearly I wasn't the only one who was thinking about later! I dropped the blanket on to them and jumped in the front again.
"So...did Roy and Nina say they were coming?" I asked hopefully.
"Yes, darling," she said, oblivious to my enquiring note, "A fire on the beach, it'll be really fun. I'm almost looking forward to it more than the ball, just hanging out and saying goodbye in our own way."
I'd tried, dear reader, and at this point resigned myself to a lovely, but not very 'fulfilling' time.
The ball was always a big thing. They pulled out all the stops, and Eleanor looked gorgeous in a pale blue floor length gown and white gloves, an outfit that matched her sparkling blue eyes and made me want her so much it almost hurt. Halfway through we saw Roy and Nina, she in a dark red gown with a cutaway V shape showing off her impressive assets. There was a small twinge of guilt as I watched those beautiful breasts advancing towards me, but at least I'd be able to see them in full tonight after giving them up all those years ago. Nina's face was alive with excitement, and Roy dutifully tagged along. I exchanged the nod of the ensnared male with him, and joked about as the girls talked and danced with each other.
"So are you really going to come tonight?" I asked
"Yeah," he said, somewhat unsure, "your girlfriend has convinced my girlfriend she won't have said goodbye properly until she's run into the sea naked."
"I just hope we're the only ones down there. Beautiful weather though." I added.
We'd both curtly avoided the subject about seeing our respective girlfriends, and each other, in the buff. If Roy wanted to he could have kept Nina from going, but as I turned around to fetch my drink I caught him eyeing Eleanor, probably wondering the same things I'd wondered about Nina. Tonight at least he'd get an answer!
We left the ball around midnight, as it began to wind slowly up, and headed for Eleanor's car. It was a six seater, with plenty of space, and I sat in the front with her while Roy and Nina got in behind.
"Did you bring old clothes to change into?" said Eleanor to Nina, who flashed a smile and held up a white holdall.
"Are we gonna change here?" said Roy, a bit nervously.
"Yeah," said Eleanor, nonchalantly, "what, are you worried I might see you without your top on Roy?"
We all laughed, even Roy after his initial hesitation. Nina and Eleanor exchanged a glance, and I think that was the first time that night I picked up on something. There was a kind of undercurrent running between the two girls, a silent agreement Roy and I weren't party to.
