I have had many requests asking me to continue with this story. So here we go. If you haven't already done so it is probably worth reading Pt 1 to understand the characters.
The calendar had rolled over into August and after the interesting situation that had arisen with my granddaughter Chloe and her friend Samantha in July, it seemed to have become a quiet period.
There were more visitors to the village and its beach as the summer holiday period had started but it was quiet at home. A few of my grandsons were going to visit early in the month to use the paddle boards and canoes but nothing else was planned.
I spent a lot of time wondering if I had acted correctly whilst Chloe and Sam were down here with me, in particular in respect of my granddaughter. I thought anyone looking at the situation from outside would think me a disgusting perverted old man who was borderline incestuous. Although Sam was not related to me could it be thought that I abused her? I wasn't sure at all.
I still spent my time on the nudist section of the beach which was always quieter than the main area. One day Mary and Janet, a couple of older ladies who always walked naked along the beach when taking their daily exercise, stopped and chatted with me.
We always said hello to each other but it was unusual for them to strike up a conversation.
'Morning Jim, how are you today' Mary asked.
'I'm fine thank you, my usual self' I replied.
They glanced at each other and then Janet spoke. 'We saw you with your grandsons doing some water sports last week but you just seem to have a different demeanour about you from normal. We don't want to be nosy but since the two young ladies went home you seem to have withdrawn into yourself a little. We thought we would check everything was ok. We'll leave you to it, take care.'
They continued with their walk along the beach.
My mind began to question itself again. If two people who were almost friends had noticed there was something different about me, had our activities leaked out into the public arena? I hoped not, more so for the girls sakes.
Chloe had messaged me to confirm they had got home safely on the day they left, but I had heard nothing more since. Perhaps I should have checked to see they were both ok a few days later. If I was questioning myself perhaps both of them were as well, and didn't want to speak to me about it.
I spent the middle days of August mulling over the situation without managing to resolve the questions in my head.
It was approaching the end of August and I realised I hadn't seen Mary and Janet for a while when they suddenly appeared on their walk. I noticed their tans had darkened and guessed they had been somewhere warmer on holiday.
'Hello' they both said simultaneously.
'Hi' I replied 'looks like you have been somewhere warmer on holiday.'
'Yes we have' Mary answered 'we spent ten days in Croatia staying in a few places and ending up in the lovely town of Dubrovnik.'
'That sounds very nice' I said 'I visited there a few years ago and remember it well.'
'How have you been keeping?' Janet asked with an inquisitive look on her face.
I paused and thought for a moment. 'Well....to be honest I do have something that is bothering me at the moment......and I am struggling to resolve it in my mind.'
They looked knowingly at each other and Janet said 'We guessed as much.....if we can help you just ask.'
I paused again.......'well it's a little on the private side.......in the past I might have discussed it with my wife.......but as you know that is no longer an option.'
The two of them looked at each other again and I realized they had made an unconscious communication with each other.
'If you are perhaps looking for a female perspective on your issue we would be happy to try and help. In total confidence, of course, no matter what.'
There was a period of silence and they knew I was mulling their offer over.
Mary suddenly broke the silence.... 'I tell you what, why don't you come and have coffee with us say at 11:00 tomorrow morning. We can just chat about anything and if you feel you want to broach your problem then so be it.'
'That sounds nice, thank you, I'll take you up on your offer.'
'Right, we'll continue with our walk' said Janet and they marched off along the beach.
I realized she was being diplomatic and giving me time to gather my thoughts.
I'd known the ladies for a long time but didn't know how they would react to my problem. Would they condemn me outright or even report me to some relevant authority? But then thinking about it they always seemed sensible, and they were openly naturist so maybe they could ease my worries.
They lived about a quarter of a mile away so the following morning I walked to their house and found them weeding in the front garden.
'Hello Jim' they both said as I entered through the garden gate. 'Come on through to the back garden, it's a bit more private' said Mary 'how do you take your coffee?'
'White with one sugar for me, thanks'.
We all sat around the patio table and exchanged a few pleasantries.
As the chat lulled a bit Janet spoke. 'Jim, we have known you for a while even though we might not be described as close friends. As ladies of a certain disposition we have experienced problems in our lives and have dealt with them. We have all been completely naked on the beach for several years now so we have nothing to hide, and we have never doubted your integrity. Unless you're going to admit to being a mad axe murderer I'm sure we can help you deal with your issue.'
I gave a little laugh. 'No, violence of that type is not my problem.' I paused for a moment. 'It is related to the girls though, if you remember Chloe, my granddaughter and her friend Sam...Well Samantha is her full name.
Mary said 'I remember them well; you looked like an ordinary friendly family group having fun together on the beach. I see no problem there.
'Yes' I said 'but they um....um....sought my help on a couple of matters.'
'Go on 'Janet said quietly 'you won't be overheard back here, no one overlooks our garden.'
'The first matter was to help Sam learn some dance moves and although our bodies touched it wasn't really a problem.'
'So it was the second matter that has been causing you to worry then?' Mary said.
I paused to find the courage to admit what I had done. 'You saw how playful the girls were on the beach. Well.....that was a prelude to them asking me to help Sam.' I took a deep breath ' they wanted me to.....um.....um.....they wanted me to teach Sam about....um...having intercourse.'
'I can't see your problem in acting as a father figure in that situation' Janet said 'they are both obviously over the age of consent.'
'No......I don't think you are understanding me, or more likely I'm struggling to clearly explain. They wanted me to be Practical!.....Physical!!'
Total silence ensued for a minute or so while they absorbed my misdemeanours.
Janet then spoke slowly and quietly. 'So what happened was that you were asked by someone of well over legal age to have consensual sex with her, and you did so without any coercion or force by yourself and in front of a witness, and I assume the outcome was enjoyable to all parties.'
'Well......yes.....that's basically what happened, but since then I've not heard from them other than knowing they got home safely. I'm half convinced I'm guilty of several crimes.'
Janet looked at me for a moment. 'Are you mad?'
' Here it comes' I thought.
'I think every red-blooded male in the country would have loved to have been in your position, but I'm sure you were the kindest, gentlest man who could have possibly have carried out that initiation for a young lady.'
My mouth dropped open in almost shock.......'You don't think I've done wrong?'
'On the contrary.....I think you have given a great service to a young lady who asked you for help. My guess is they are both busy planning for their final year at University and that's why there has been no communication. There is nothing stopping YOU from phoning to find out the situation is there?
'No.....I guess not.......thank you both so much, my mind has been wandering all over the place with worry about this.'
I was so relieved to have their opinion; I can relax a bit now. We chatted on over coffee but nothing else about my exploits was brought up. I thanked the ladies for their hospitality and returned home.
That evening I followed their advice and phoned my granddaughter.
'Oh hiya granddad how are you?
'Hello Chloe, I hadn't heard from you over the holidays and wondered how you were keeping. The boys came down earlier in the month so I've caught up with all of them.'
'I've been fairly busy actually, I managed to get a four week job in a local office covering people taking their holidays and what with a bit of revision I've been fairly tied up.'
'Oh that's good 'I replied 'I guess the pocket money will come in useful.'
'Yes it will help out.....anyway I've been meaning to phone you as well. I'd like to come down for the second week in September if that's ok with you, my job will be finished and it will be a nice break before University starts again.'
'No problem at all 'I replied 'it will be lovely to have your company again.'
