I love hot sunny days. You can get away with wearing almost nothing, knowing all the boys are watching you. You can go swimming or take a pleasant walk in the country (as long as you choose a suitably shaded trail). Sunny days are the best.
There is one problem with hot sunny days. They tend to be followed by hot, mucky, nights, and they're the pits. You're too hot and sweaty to sleep and too tired not to and you have a dreadful night and wake up grumpy.
Turn on the air conditioner, I hear you say. Then you're a trifle cooler and kept awake by the insist drone of the air conditioner. Whisper quiet, they say. A very loud whisper if you ask me, pitched in a voice that carries it throughout the house.
This particular night I was trying to sleep without using an air conditioner. The heat and humidity were winning. I grumbled my way out of bed and over to the window, hoping that if I leaned out I might catch a faint breeze.
I had mixed luck there. I didn't find a breeze but I did spot the swimming pool next door, full of cool, calming, cleansing, water. Why not go for a quick dip, I asked myself?
Why not indeed? The Adams's were away on holiday and not expected back for another week. No-one was there. I knew this because my mother had the key and checked the place every so often. I could slip next door and have a nice refreshing dip. The exercise and the coolness would help me get to sleep afterwards.
I was about to grab my bikini but then I thought the hell with it. There wouldn't be anyone around and even if there was it was night. No-one would see me. I slipped out of the house and went next door.
Initially I sat on the edge of the pool, just dangling my feet in the water. Even that much contact with the cool water was enough to feel refreshing. I was wearing baby-doll pyjamas, scraps of material that weighed nothing. It was a job of seconds to shed them and then I was in the pool.
I swam a little and then floated a little, luxuriating in the coolness. It wasn't nearly as dark as I'd thought it would be, what with a clear sky and a full moon. I could actually see quite well. Still, I was safe from observation. When I'd looked from my window the pool had been shadowy. I felt I could safely assume that the same would apply to anyone else who looked out of their window at midnight, not that there would be too many people doing that.
I was just floating drowsily, thinking that I really should get out and go back to bed. I got a real shock when someone spoke to me.
"Hi, Cheryl. Looks like great minds think alike."
I promptly tried to drown myself but after a bit of swearing and floundering I found myself standing in waster that wasn't too deep and still covered me to chest high. Looking around I saw Jordan and Brendan standing by the side of the pool, smiling at me. What was worse was the fact that they were both wearing bathing shorts.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded. I know, silly question. What did I think they were doing seeing both of them were dressed for swimming?
"Take a guess," said Jordan. "Go on. Take a wild stab at the reason we're here."
"You're going swimming," I said. "Well, not with me, you're not. Go hop in the deep end and I'll depart and leave you to it."
"Now don't be like that, Cheryl. We wouldn't dream of depriving you of your swim. If you don't want company in the pool we'll just wait here until you're ready to go. That's fair and reasonable, isn't it Jordan."
"I have to agree with you, Brendan. That sounds like a plan to me."
The two oafs just stood there smiling.
"Ah, look, boys, I'm not exactly dressed for male company. Do you mind moving elsewhere while I get out?"
"Cheryl," exclaimed Brendan. "Don't tell me you're skinny dipping. I'm shocked. Truly shocked. Aren't you shocked, Jordan?"
"I am, Brendan. Deeply shocked. To think that sweet little Cheryl would go skinny dipping at night. In someone else's pool at that."
"All right, cut the clown act. It's not funny. I'll admit you have me at a disadvantage. Now will you please just back off for a few moments?"
"The girl has a point, Brendan," Jordan said, sounding thoughtful. "It's almost criminal the disadvantage she has, being naked and all. How about we even the playing field a little?"
Call me suspicious but I didn't trust them one little bit. I was right not to. Brendan nodded at Jordan's comment and then both of them dropped their bathing shorts, leaving them as naked as me. Nakeder, even, as a pair of erections were standing out and shining in the moonlight.
I suddenly felt so hot that I almost expected the water to start boiling around me. Oh lord, how could I even look in their direction without seeing those things sticking out?
"Do you mind?" I gasped out. "Will you please have the common decency to just back off and let me get out?"
"Um, no," said Brendan, with Jordan promptly seconding that.
"Feel free to hop out. We won't look, will we, Brendan?"
"Ah, I don't know about you but I'll certainly be looking," Brendan said. "You saw how fine she looked just floating there. Imagine how good she'll look standing in front of us."
My face was burning. How long had they been standing there watching me?
