The weather was hot, high twenties, which for England, is hot. I was bored and just stared at the grass as I lay on the towel. Mum was out at work; dad was working in his office upstairs and I had done all the work I needed. Working from home was better than the office. I seemed to be able to get everything done in two hours, work that I would struggle to finish in a whole day at the office due to interruptions, distractions, phone calls, pleas for help; no, working from home was so much better.
I had started work early, and after I had finished, I had gone to the bathroom and stood and lathered myself in sun lotion, I didn't mind not getting a tan, what I didn't want was skin cancer. I am quite pale skinned and burn quite easily, perhaps because of the red in my hair, I didn't know. I covered everywhere, standing naked on a towel in the bathroom, I ran my hands over every inch of my body, even bits that would be covered because dad was home, and then ran my hands everywhere again.
I put on my white string thong bikini, it was the smallest thing I could wear and cover up the things dads should not see. The top barely covered my nipples, but did, just, and the bottoms were mostly string with a small flap of material to cover my fanny. As I pulled the knots tight, I decided I would have to shave again soon, I could begin to feel the little tell-tale stubble, ah, oh well. Tomorrow perhaps.
I grabbed my phone, some buds and a towel and headed out to the garden grabbing a bottle of OJ on the way. I spread the towel on the lawn and lay down on my stomach, plugged in my buds and zoned out. The sun felt hot on my legs and back, hotter than I had expected. I put my hands behind me and undid the strap to my top and pulled it up over my head and off. I was now as near naked as I could be whilst wearing some form of clothing.
I think I went to sleep, or certainly dozed, my mind full of jumble and irrelevance, nothing important, just noise. I vaguely heard my name being called, "Julie, Julie."
"Hmm, yes" I pulled a bud out.
"Julie love, you have been out here unmoving for over an hour," dad said, "Your back will be brown and your front white, perhaps you ought to turn?"
"Yes dad, you're right thanks."
I rolled over and lay on my back, feeling how hot it was where it pressed against the towel.
"I think I better leave you to it love," Dad said and as I put my earbud back in, I realised that I didn't have a top on. Oops.
Nothing I could do about it now, oh well, at least my fanny had been covered, and I just put my hand down to make sure all was covered to find bare skin, no bottoms. I sat up with a start, my top was to my left and my bottoms, which should have protected my fanny from unwanted eyes were to my right. The string must have come undone, and it had fallen off when I turned over.
Right then. Dad had just seen my naked body. He would know that I shaved. Luckily my legs had probably been together as I turned, so, apart from the outside crease, he shouldn't have seen much. Well, not much more than my inner lips and clitoris that stood proud of my valley, greyish against the white of the rest of me.
Too late now, I just stayed as I was. If dad wanted to watch me from his office window, then let him. It was a good way away, and from that distance, I would just look like a naked person on his lawn. I wondered if seeing me naked aroused him? I pretty much believed that men got aroused whenever they saw a naked or near naked woman, regardless of who she was. Would he play with himself I wondered as I dozed off again, this times to mental images of my dad with his hand inside his trousers.
I awoke again as I felt a towel being laid on me. "Your mum will be home soon Julie, probably best if she didn't see you naked, I doubt she would understand."
"Er okay dad," I answered groggily.
"Not sure I understand myself," I heard dad say as he wandered off. I sat up and picked up my Bikini and after I stood up, I wrapped the towel horizontally around me. 'Thank goodness for boobs to hold my towel up,' I thought as I wandered back into the house. Dad was in the kitchen basting some chops that we were having for tea.
"Crumbs dad, I really fell asleep out there, I probably won't sleep tonight."
"No baby, you probably won't. You seemed well out of it every time I checked on you."
"Oh dad, did you check on me often?" I think I added coquettish to my voice.
"Hush now Julie," dad smiled and turned back to the chops.
"Perhaps I should have got you to baste me dad, rather than the chops."
"Oh baby, you are so much more than a piece of meat."
"Aw, dad, that is a nice thing to say," and I went and gave him a big hug.
"Now, go up and get some clothes on, your mother would not understand you being naked in the kitchen," dad said.
"But dad, I'm not naked." I stopped when I realised my towel had fallen and I was standing and then hugging my dad utterly starkers.
"Oops dad," I grabbed the towel off the floor and hurried upstairs. I went to the bathroom and showered, and then patted myself dry with the towel I had been laying on in the garden, before dropping it in the laundry hamper.
"Tea in ten love," mum called from downstairs, she was obviously home and hungry.
"Okay Mum, just finished showering, I'll throw some clothes on and come down.
Micro white panties, really just a gusset, and a pale blue sundress. I didn't bother with a bra, I wasn't planning on going anywhere, and even if I did, my boobs weren't big enough to require the extra support.
After dinner mum and I spent a few minutes tidying the kitchen, loading the dishwasher, and then went to the lounge, dad was in the armchair as usual, and I sat next to mum on the sofa opposite. When we wanted to watch TV, we usually all squeezed on the sofa, but no one seemed to want TV just yet, so we all sat comfortably.
Mum was talking about going to the fabric mill in Dewsbury, apparently they had some new African cottons in stock that she wanted to look at, I thought I could make a nice sundress out of one, if I could get the right pattern, so said I would go with her. Dad was thinking of getting some fruit trees for the garden, I wasn't so keen on that idea, fruit encourages wasps, nasty stinging things. "They do eat the aphids though Julie, everything has its place."
"Yes dad, but aphids don't sting."
We bantered on for an hour or so and then mum said she was tired, was going to take a tablet and go to bed. I kissed her goodnight and dad said, "I'll be up in a bit love, I'm not ready to sleep yet, I'd just toss and turn and disturb you." And mum was gone.
"You were quite a sight today baby girl," Dad said.
"Yes, I suppose, sorry dad."
"No need to apologise, I hadn't really thought how much of a young woman you have become. Today I didn't need to think it, there you were in all your glory."
I sat back in the sofa, and as I did I think my knees opened a little further, my panties would have been quite visible.
"Yes love, in all your glory. No imagination needed today."
"Oh? Dad are you saying that you had used your imagination before today?"
Dad smiled and looked directly up my dress. "Before today Julie, imagination was all I had to go on."
"And dad, did you like what you saw whilst I lay naked in the garden?"
"Nothing to not like my love, nothing to not like."
"Okay, but for me, dad, I only have my imagination to go on." I said, not entirely sure where this was going.
"Sometimes a fertile imagination is enough Julie."
"Was it enough for you dad, or is the real thing better?"
"Oh, believe me, no imagination could have prepared me for the real thing, such an absolute beauty."
"Oh. For me, I only have my imagination to go on, I have never even had a glimpse to work with."
"Ah well, life is like that Julie, and then sometimes, opportunities come right out of the blue. Now then, your mother is probably asleep by now, I am going to grab a shower and then I will be back down in a while."
