This is a fantasy of a woman living a fantasy
"Becky, why am I doing this?" I asked myself again. I was at the beach, along the gulf shore. I was laying on my back, topless, on my towel. I could hear the waves lapping the shore coming in and out. I could hear the gulls as they flew down the beach a ways to where there were more people to drop food for them. I could turn my head to the left and see the people. But they were far enough off that I couldn't make out any features, they certainly couldn't see my, um, features either. I was several yards from the shore, closer to the dunes actually, but if someone were to take a walk along the waters edge I would have no to place to hide. That's why I walked about 40 minutes from the parking lot to find my spot. Surely it was unlikely that anyone would walk that far just for a place to put a blanket. I know folks sometimes jog along the shoreline, but that's why I'm here in the middle of the day since most folks who are jogging go closer to dawn or dusk when it's cooler. I was more interested in the possibility of being spotted that I was in actually being discovered.
I was reading a book on my tablet before I interrupted myself. I answered myself: I was doing this because I never did anything like it when I was supposed to and to
E was running out to be young and stupid. I was almost 24 years old and never had a wild streak. In high school I was a good girl in a religious school. In college I used my spring breaks for internships and vacations with my family. I did date in college, but monogamously. I had a handful of relationships, with sex, that lasted a few months. I learned in my freshman year that I liked sex. Maybe not the act itself, but I did like how it brought me and my partner closer together. I learned to give head both as foreplay or as the main course so to speak when I was having my period. Once one boyfriend convinced me to have another girl join us, but I felt mostly ignored that night and he left me for her shortly afterwards so conclusion can be drawn. After graduation, I had a couple of one night stands. In both cases I was hoping to have a second date but I was ghosted. After that I vowed never to sleep with a man on the day I met him. Since then, I haven't had a lot of second dates.
All that to say, it was very out of my comfort zone to out on a public beach with my tits uncovered. So when I asked myself "Why am I doing this?" I knew the answer, "I needed to." I was not satisfied with living a 23 year old life that was already not deviating from the routine. I woke up, took a shower, had breakfast, brushed my teeth, went to work, went home, watched TV then went to bed. Saturday and Sunday I replaced work with shopping, cleaning and laundry and a phone call to mom. I was too young to be so old.
But today was different. Memorial Day, start of summer, a Monday with no routine. So I decided to be wild for the day. I came to the beach, brought a steamy Krista Wolf novel to read on my tablet. And I took my top off on a public beach. I spent the first 3 chapters laying face down, but I rolled over 2 chapters ago and the warm sun felt great. I stretched and took a sip of my water. I needed to apply sunscreen or I would burn, so I did. About 10 minutes later I was back in my book imagining myself on a fabulous dinner date with a handsome stranger and after that dinner - what a night. Nights like that didn't happen to girls like me.
I kept reading. I didn't notice the jogger running along the shore line until she was pretty close. When she reached the beach in front of me she stopped, paused for a moment, then started walking directly to me. A few seconds later she was standing in front of me, the sun over her right shoulder, she was silhouetted and it was hard to make out her features. She had on sandals, running shorts, a sports bra and sunglasses. "Excuse me." She said to me.
I had thought about dozens of way I might get discovered, but never did a single woman says 'excuse me' come up in any of my predictions. "Hello" I replied, it was my voice, but wasn't really sure where it came from.
"I don't mean to intrude, but I haven't seen you before so I think you might be new here. I thought I'd suggest that you might consider moving down the beach a little ways."
I couldn't really comprehend what she was saying and didn't reposted, she paused then continued, "I hope you don't mind the interruption, but if you moved past those posts there you will be out of the city and the local cops won't bother you."
"Posts?" I asked.
"Yes those posts there." She pointed and I turned my head and saw the cement fence posts, about 3 feet tall. I hadn't noticed them before but I stopped here because the sand wasn't as pretty a little further down. It seemed that the posts might be the dividing line on a manicured beach or one more wild.
My mind was overcoming the weirdness of the situation, I'm laying topless, tits up facing a stranger who was talking to me about important things like we were in an office. What is she's telling me about the cops? I asked, "Wait, what about the cops?"
She stopped talking and restarted. "Here" she said pointing at the beach around them, "you are in the city. This is classified as a family friendly park, and your current, um, attire would likely get you a ticket or perhaps even arrested. But if you go over there." She pointed to the beach past the posts, "you'd be out of the city and subject to the state laws and the sheriff's department to enforce them. And I can guarantee the sheriff won't be sending any deputies down here about your tits."
"Oh I didn't know that." I replied.
"Shall we get you moved then?" She offered her hand to me I took it and she helped me to my feet. I was now standing topless on the beach. She reached down and picked up my beach bag, I bent down and got my towel. I reached for my bag in her hand but she said "I can carry this." I followed her back to the shoreline and walked beside her as we headed down the beach. After a few seconds of silence she spoke again, "I hope you don't mind me asking, and you don't need to answer, but I have to ask... 'Why?'" She gestured towards my bare chest.
"I've been asking myself the same question all day. But I think it's just something I had to do. I've never done anything wild. All in college I was pretty nerdy. Spent my spring breaks on internships or getting them. I think I just needed to do something wild."
"Well, you look beautiful." She openly looked my body over, "I remember when my boobs were firm like that. Enjoy them while you can." She stopped walking. "What about over here?" She pointed to a rather large area where the sand was pretty clean. "I think this is one of the places where the local college kids have their bonfires. I bet they'll let you join if you wanted to."
We walked towards the spot. "Will you be there? At the bonfire?"
