This story is mostly true. The location, the boats, and the time frame this takes place are accurate and true. How quickly things happened has been condensed for the sake of storytelling.

Her name was Debbie. She's a cute blond with short hair. She is also thin. I don't mean model skinny, who look like they have starved themselves, but she was not curvy. She doesn't have a big chest, nor is she flat-chested, but what she does have is a lovely shape for her. She says she is a "B" cup in bra size. I call it a "Perfect handful." Her nipples stand out, just the right size to grasp between fingers or capture with your lips. She had let me play with them on our first dates. I got to play with them anytime I wanted because later, she married me.
We went to high school in Key West, Florida. We lived on different islands up Highway US1, several miles from Key West. I first noticed Debbie in our junior year when we had a class together. Other than her blond hair, I gave her little thought.
It was the last year of the 1960's. Tie-dyed shirts, bell bottoms, free love, hippies, "Hair," and "Aquarius -Let the Sunshine in" were the top songs on the radio. It was also the last few days of high school for us.
In our senior year, we had several classes together. We were both 18, and I began to see her in a different light.
In History class, I would sit behind her, and in English class, she would sit behind me.
Our minds weren't really on class or the lessons, and our teachers knew it and didn't press it too much; as long as we weren't disrupting class, they mostly ignored our daydreaming or note passing.
It was Friday, a half day for seniors; when our three classes were over, seniors got released from school at 12:00.
Our History class was in third period, and English was today's first class. Debbie was sitting behind me in English. The week prior, I had been water skiing, snorkeling, and swimming most of the weekend and had gotten sunburned. Now, dead skin on my back, neck, and the back of my legs had started to peel.
I felt some tugging on my neck, and I turned around. Debbie had started peeling my blistered and dead skin from my neck and then rubbing my neck. "Your skin is nice," she whispered in my ear. It felt good.
I turned back around and let her continue. After class, we both had to rush to our lockers to put away books and grab things we needed for the next class.
The third class was History, the last class for the day. Sitting behind Debbie, I leaned forward and asked if she would like to go out with me. She said, "Sure I would. Do you have a car?" I told her I had a pickup truck. "Meet me after school in the south parking lot. We can go have lunch somewhere if you want."
She told me she would have to call her mom first and tell her she wouldn't be coming home on the bus. There were no cell phones back then. She had to phone from the school's pay phone near the front office.
I had to wave to get her attention when she got to the parking lot. As she walked up, she said, "I must be home before dark. Is that a problem?"
"Shouldn't be. Let's grab some burgers and drinks at the A&W and then go to the beach." I suggested, and she agreed.
The A&W was on the other side of Key West from the high school. The beach was along the A1A side of the island, which was again on the other side of the island from the A&W.
It took little time since if you drive from one end of Key West to the other and catch every stop light red, it will take 15 minutes, less if the lights are green. At the A&W, we got our food and then went to the beach.
I parked on what was known to us as "The bridle path." A dirt road that ran parallel to the beach but separated by some brush. We took our food and walked until we found a secluded spot up from the beach surrounded on three sides by mangroves and brush.
We sat in the grass and sand, eating our french fries and burgers and talking about our classes and teachers. She finished eating first, then asked something no one had ever asked me. "Can you remove your shirt so I can peel your back?"
"Ya, I guess so." I took off my shirt and turned so my back was to her. She started to pick at my skin. She liked to see how big a piece she could remove at one time. It did tickle some, but it actually felt nice.
After she had been at it a while and we were making small talk, she mentioned how, with her fair skin, she would burn very easily and then peel just like me.
"I got sunburned last week when we were on my father's boat. I've also started to peel. I don't understand why, but I like pulling big pieces of skin off. It makes me..." She trailed off from her talking.
She told me, "Turn around and let me do your front." So I turned around. I had little burned skin to peel off, mostly on my shoulders, and she finished quickly. I didn't think first, or I wouldn't have said it, but it just came out. "If you're burned and peeling, can I do your back and...front?"
She giggled and then got quiet. "Yes." She unbuttoned her blouse and pulled it open. She then took it off, folded it, and placed it beside her. I was looking at her pale blue bra and white skin with light brown freckles.
"What's the matter? It covers more than my bikini top. Start with my back." She then turned around. I was looking at her back, and indeed, her skin had just started to blister. I began to rub off small pieces of dead skin from her shoulders.
There wasn't much that would come off, but I liked touching her back, so I continued as if removing dead skin.
She shivered under my touch as I moved further down her back. "Cold?" "No, it just feels good, very good, don't stop." I continued until I got to where her bra was across her back. Even though there wasn't any skin to remove, I moved my hands below it.
