Saturday afternoon, warm and sunny. A perfect day for sun bathing by the pool. Greg grabbed a beer and a towel, and turned his stereo on. Out on the back patio he set up his chair and stripped down to nothing. He leaned back and closed his eyes. Rays of sun danced over his body, warming him to his toes. He imagined he was on a beach, with the waves and the sand, a sexy petite brunette lying down next to him.
Greg ignored the telephone when it rang. He tuned out the laughter of neighborhood children at play, he definitely didn't hear his doorbell go off. What he finally heard was the sound of a throat clearing. With a start he turned his head toward the sound. The throat in question belonged to a sexy, petite brunette, who belonged to his best friend.
"Hey, Lindsey. Uh... this is awkward. You want to hand me the towel over there?"
Lindsey didn't move, she was too busy staring at his tan body. She motioned to the other chair, and moved to sit down.
"My husband went out of town." Lindsey said. Greg shook his head.
"Yeah, think I remember him mentioning that. Business trip, right?"
"Uh, yeah... so, do you mind if I hang out here awhile? There's this creepy guy watching our house, I don't want to be there alone."
"Yeah, sure. No problem. Anytime. You want a beer?"
Lindsey nodded. "Sure. Hey, uh... do you always, you know."
Greg smiled. "Walk around naked? Not when your husband's here." Lindsey laughed, Greg continued, "But seriously, I'm actually a nudist."
Lindsey raised her eyebrows in surprise, her face a wash of disbelief. "Really?"
Greg laughed. "Really."
