Sweat drops made their way down my now shiny face, making their journey towards the valley between my smaller, but shapely (if I do say so myself) breasts. Being from Arizona I was used to warm weather, but back home it was a dry heat, whereas here in Thailand it was humid and the 90 degrees here felt more smothering than anything I'd experienced back in the states.
I tried to get some air under my shirt by vigorously pulling it away from my body, you know, the universal air up the shirt movement. I desperately wanted to take it off, but wasn't sure what the etiquette was for walking around in little clothes, so better tough it out.
I wasn't well traveled, but I'd been saving up for ages to go on this trip and so far I was blown away by the warm welcome the locals had given me. I was hoping I'd be able to connect with other travelers in the time I'd be in Asia, and while I was sure I eventually would, today I'd decided to explore the area I stayed in on my own.
After wandering aimlessly for a good while, I found myself on a narrow dirt road. Away from the frigid AC blasting 7-elevens and loud motorbikes on the main streets, I was now alone with only the sun at my back and the sound of gravel crunching underneath my feet. Feeling the stress of life back home slowly ebb away, I took a deep breath, thankful for the opportunity to get away for a while.
As I kept walking, the dirt road turned into a smaller graveled path, and the vegetation grew tighter around me, lush green plants hugging me on both sides. I could hear the sound of water lapping ashore somewhere close by and soon came upon a quiet and secluded cove with a tiny white sand beach. Holy mackerel! What a perfect little slice of paradise, how lucky was I to have found this place.
It hadn't been that long, but in this heat, I thought I could use a break, so I decided to lie down for a bit. Despite not wearing my swimsuit, as I was the only one there, I decided to throw caution to the wind and undress.
I lay down my towel and quickly stripped down to my underwear. It wasn't that different from a bikini anyways, black hipsters and a black bra, nothing fancy or overly sexy, but it worked perfectly for this, and I wasn't here to impress anyone anyways.
Laying down on my towel in the shade of a coconut free palm tree (I'd been warned not to lie underneath them as they could apparently fall off and do serious damage if they bonked you in the head), it wasn't long before I drifted off to the sound of the waves hitting the sand a few feet away.

I woke up with the feeling of being watched. Eyes still closed, I immediately regretted falling asleep nearly naked in a foreign country. Scared of what I'd find, I slowly opened my eyes to peak around, unsure of what I was expecting to find.
After letting my eyes adjust to the bright sunlight, I let out a sigh of relief when I saw a white herring looking bird in the shallow waters a few feet away. Phew, I thought, that bird must've been what woke me up. At ease again, I stretched my arms above my head and let out a sigh-like moan, but froze when in that moment I heard a rustle to my left.
Slowly panning my head towards where the sound had come from, I realized it hadn't been the bird waking my up. The most piercing grey eyes were looking back at me, and while I was frozen in shock, I for unknown reasons wasn't frightened any longer.
Intrigue had me locked in place, for there stood the most stunning woman, I'd possibly ever seen.
Stunned, I kept staring at the alluring person standing there, my conscience catching up with my brain to come to the realization that she was staring back at me.
Standing in tall grass-like reeds, her legs were mostly covered, but I bet they were firm and tan like the rest of her. She had literal abs, her midriff peaking out between denim shorts which hugged her lovely behind and a gray crop top which hugged her perky breasts.
Her ash blond hair, shaved closely on the sides, long on top, shined with the sun hitting its strands. Her gleaming hair framed an almost androgynous shaped face, but while she was all angles and cheekbones, she possessed the most kissable lips.
It was the perfect mix between feminine and masculine features on anyone I'd ever seen.
I couldn't help but keep staring at her, as butterflies appeared in my stomach. The stranger had an ethereal aura about her, the word otherworldly came to mind.
After what seemed like an eternity, the mysterious stranger broke the silence with a simple "hi" followed by a blinding smile. I gulped, then smiled back, unable to speak.
She took a step closer towards me and I could confirm that yup, those legs were indeed some of the best looking legs I'd ever seen. I giggled to myself, having never had such a reaction to a woman before.
"I apologize, I didn't mean to startle or wake you. Oh wait, you do speak English I presume?"
"Ah yes, I do. And no apology is necessary. I didn't mean to fall asleep in the first place. But whe-where did you come from?"
"I was out for a walk when I spotted someone in my cove and I couldn't resist checking out who had found my secret spot. And when I saw you, I couldn't seem to look away. Do you know how beautiful you look when you're sleeping?"
I could feel myself blush, at a loss for words, so I awkwardly looked away while I tucked a stray strand of my ash purple hair behind my ear.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. You seem far from home and here I am, a total stranger, just running my mouth. I do apologize. Again. I mean no harm."
"Oh no, you're fine, you just surprised me is all" I finally managed to get my brain working somewhat normally again. "Thank you for the kind words, no one has ever said anything like that to me before."
"Well it's true. You looked absolutely lovely and at peace before I disturbed you."
I think I was grinning like a fool at this point, unsure how to react, but I knew I wanted to keep her engaged and hopefully stay a while.
"You're not hard on the eyes yourself" I heard myself saying. Surprised at my own forwardness, and once again finding myself blushing.
"I'm Mackenzie, Kensi for short, it's a pleasure to have you in my space" she said with a smirk.
"And I'm Emily. Care to join me for a bit?"
"I sure would."
Kensi pulled a towel out of her tote bag that was casually slung over her shoulder, clinging to her side in a way that made me envy it. A tote bag. Huh, that was definitely new, never before had I wanted to be an inanimate object.
A giggle slipped out of me and Kensi looked over, one side of her mouth pulling upwards, as if she couldn't help it.
And then off came her top, and I once again lost all train of thought.
"I figured I'd loose the outer layers as well."
"Uh-huh" was all the answer I could muster at that moment.
The smirk was back on Kensi's face as she pulled down her shorts over an exceptionally well shaped behind as I let my eyes linger.
"Like what you see?" Kensi interrupted my gawk fest and only then was I able to tear my gaze from her extraordinary figure.
"Mm-hm no complaints here." I smirked back, attempting to give as good as I got.
Kensi got comfortable next to me and while we sat side by side in silence for a minute. It didn't feel awkward at all, it felt pretty wonderful actually.
