It was stupid and cliche of me. I got the notification that my package had arrived just after I stepped out of the shower. I'd ordered some new toys and was excited to try them out. Wrapping myself in a towel, I scampered over to the front door and slipped out to grab it. I hadn't realized how windy it was and the minute I reached down to get my package the gusts claimed victory over the hasty knot I'd tied in my only covering, yanking it off me and flying away.
I was stunned. It was a bright afternoon on my charming little street and both my hands held the box I'd set out to retrieve, leaving my body bare and uncovered to anyone that cared to look. My stupor continued for what felt like hours but was probably less than a minute before I turned to move back towards the safety of my home.
But safety was not to be found. A mournful, despondent moan escaped my lips as I tried the knob only to find it locked tight. I was locked out. Completely naked. For some who are brave or embrace their sexuality this might be a fantasy to act out. For someone as meek and modest as I, this was a nightmare to escape. And it was only going to get worse.
I hunched down near my door, trying to make myself as small as possible and cover as much of me as I could. I don't know why I didn't drop the box to free my hands, but I obviously was not thinking straight. My mind was furiously going over how I was going to save myself from this embarrassment when I was snapped out of my shock as I heard my name being called.
"Nessa, are you ok? I couldn't help but notice you seem to be in a bit of a pickle." My neighbor from across the street approached me. Unlike myself, she was properly dressed and was wearing a look of amusement with just a glint of mischief in her eye. Little did I know just how much of the latter as she was not to be my savior but my tormentor. "Where are your clothes? Why aren't you going inside?"
My lips quivered as my eyes glistened, feeling both exposed and ashamed. How could I have been so dumb to get myself into this mess? "I was excited to get my package and I'd just gotten out of the shower and my towel just blew off. Worse, somehow I locked myself out."
"Don't you have a hide a key or something?" She looked around the front yard expectantly.
"I never thought to do that. Now what am I going to do?"
She kneeled down in front of me. "Here, let me take that package so you can at least use your hands to cover up. My husband is pretty handy, I bet he could get you back inside. Why don't we go over so you're at least not flashing the whole neighborhood."
I gasped as she took the package from me suddenly, baring my breasts to her, before I quickly slapped my hands over my body in the classic caught nude pose. One hand over my chest and the other between my legs. I followed her across the street, much to the enjoyment of several other neighbors who happened to be out and inspecting the rest of my uncovered body including my pert behind, before thankfully following her inside her house. I expected her to at least give me something to cover up but instead she led me into their living room where her husband was watching the football game. Along with three of his friends. A further sign of things to come.
"Poor Nessa here locked herself out naked. I said you might be able to help her get back in. I'm just going to go put this in the kitchen for now. Y'all make her feel comfortable." With that she walked off with my package, leaving me completely bare in front of her husband and three strangers. How was I supposed to be comfortable with only my hands to cover myself and four sets of hungry eyes devouring anything I didn't?
He took his time admiring me, along with his friends. I'd always been somewhat sad about my breasts, being barely more than a handful for most men. But at least in this case, with only an arm to cover both of them, I was able to achieve some modesty. Still standing there with nothing but my hands as covering I felt a deep shame settle over me. I'd always been very shy, never wearing a revealing bikini or going without underwear like some of my friends. I was humiliated at putting myself in this predicament and being so exposed. They must think I'm some sort of exhibitionist or slut that gets off on this sort of thing. No one as prudish as me would be gallivanting around in just a tiny towel except on purpose.
He finally makes a gesture to one of the empty chairs. "I'll be glad to help. But we look forward to the game all week, so it'll have to wait until it's over. Just a couple of hours at most."
I sat in the chair and curled myself into as tight a ball as I could again, trying to use my drawn up legs as additional covering. I spent the next twenty minutes shivering in indignity, completely at the mercy of my neighbors. His friends kept sneaking peeks at me during breaks in the action. Finally his wife returned and I looked up hopefully, only to realize she wasn't bringing anything to cover myself with. Instead she had two glasses of iced tea. She sat on the arm of the chair and offered one out to me. "I figured you might be parched and I just made this, it's very tasty." She smirked, one eyebrow raised as she extended one of the glasses to me.
I could see this was a game to her. She was going to embarrass and expose me as much as she could. I had no way to stop her but there was also no way I could just do that willingly. "No I'm good, thanks."
She shrugged and placed it on the table beside us. "Maybe you'll change your mind. I opened your package for you, since you were so excited about it. I figured it might be a new outfit which is why you hadn't bothered to get dressed to go outside. I was definitely surprised by what I found. Very interesting, I understand why you were so excited." Her eyebrow raised impishly as she emphasized "excited".
