We arrived at the resort mid-morning after an overnight flight and shuttle ride. The resort sat on a beautiful beach with very blue, clear ocean waters. The resort was large and featured numerous restaurants, dance clubs, recreational activities, and secluded areas. My parents had insisted my sister and I take this trip with them despite us both being adults. I was 25 years old and still living with them in the house I grew up in. After giving college a try for a year, I ended up dropping out. Temporarily I said at the time, but six years later I had no plans to return. Instead I am continuing to live at my parent's house in my old bedroom. I'll take the odd job here and there but most days I am hanging out in my room playing on the computer. My life is mostly filled with writing fan fiction, playing Runescape, and arguing on Reddit. In high school I was very popular and had a long term boyfriend. But after I dropped out of college, my friends gradually moved on to jobs and marriage. My boyfriend broke up with me claiming I had given up.
Since then I've had a few dates, but generally don't meet a lot of guys. It's not that I'm unattractive. Both my sister and I have inherited my mom's D-cup breast. My ass sticks out more than I'd like but I only weigh 140 lbs at 5 feet, 6 inches tall. I think I'm better looking than some of those girls I regularly see on amateur porn sites.
I felt a bit like a loser going on a vacation my parents paid for while in my early twenties, but I had nothing else going on so I agreed. My younger sister, Jenna, also is coming, but she is 18 years old and a few weeks away from starting her senior year in high school. She's smart, gets great grades and the whole family is excited to see her become a doctor or something. She also has been dating the same guy for the last 5 years believe it or not. They are so cute together and her boyfriend, Rick, has secretly told my parents that he plans to propose at their high school graduation in May. Rick is very sweet and kind. So much so that Jenna has told me that despite dating half a decade, Rick respects her too much to push for sex. They haven't seen done oral or even seen each other naked at all. My parents offered to bring Rick along, but he thought it would be inappropriate for them to be sleeping in the same hut, so he declined.
My mom and dad carried the luggage from the shuttle while my sister and I followed. My dad was very protective of his family. I think he actually likes me living at home where he can watch over me. However, he can be a bit controlling. Even at my age he has strong opinions about what I should wear and generally I just follow his suggestions and dress rather conservatively. My mom, despite being in her mid-forties, looks great. She is currently wearing a long sundress. Like me she is a curvy woman and gets a lot of male attention, causing a lot of arguments between my dad and these men.
We got check in and found our room. Dad suggested we tour the resort, which we did. After an hour we got lunch at one of the restaurants before heading back to the room. After settling in, I announced my intention to head back out.
"I saw some people my age hanging out at the beach. I'm going to head out and maybe make some vacation friends."
My dad, ever protective had questions. "What are you going to wear?"
"Well, they were on the beach, so probably a swimsuit," I said feeling embarrassed by the question.
"Wear a one-piece with shorts," he commanded.
As usual I did what he said and wore a black one-piece bathing suit that did very well covering up my entire top. Over them I wore some blue jeans shorts. I waved goodbye and went out seeking the college age group I saw before.
The group of five guys and one girl were right where I had last saw them on the beach. I neglected to tell my dad the ratio of men to women, but he'll live.
"Hi, do you mind if I hang out with you? I'm Lena," I said as an introduction to the group.
They were very welcoming and cool. They were from all over the country and had met only the day before.
"I like your outfit," the other girl said smiling at me.
I appreciated the compliment but was jealous of the black bikini she was wearing. While I wasn't ignored, the guys were paying more attention to her which I attributed to her outfit showing a lot more skin than mine. We talked about a variety of things and I tried to ask a lot of questions and engage in all of the topics, even the ones I didn't have interest in. The only person who seemed to be engaging with me was the other girl who I think was aware she was getting the majority of the male attention. Eventually we all needed to leave but agreed to meet back in 2 hours at the same place.
I got back to the room and dad had a lot of questions about what I did and what the other guys were like. I answered his questions to his sanctification and told him about my plans to meet up later, which he wasn't happy about but didn't object. As a family we headed down to the beach for a while and waded in the water. My mom, sister, and I all wore our one-piece swim suits that dad specifically approved of. It was enjoyable, but I was looking forward to being with people my own age again soon. We headed back and I had about 20 minutes until the next meet up with my new friends was due.
Getting ready, I stood and looked at myself in the mirror wearing the same one-piece bathing suit. I look so frumpy when I'm wearing it. Olympic swimmers show more skin than this. I wasn't looking to have the guys clawing at me, but it would be nice to get close the same level of attention as the girl in the bikini did. Like I said, I'm an attractive woman. I walked over to where my dad and mom were sitting.
"Dad, I want to wear the bikini I brought to the beach, okay?"
"What? Why? I didn't even realize you brought or owned a bikini. What's wrong with swimsuit you have on," he protested.
"I'm not looking to do anything bad, I just want to wear something that matches more what people my age are wearing. Did you see anyone my age out there dressed like me? I didn't."
He continued to argue, "You told me all you guys did before was talk. Are you not able to talk in that swimsuit? What are you doing where you need to show off your body?"
It was no use, he wasn't going to give. Unexpectedly, my mom spoke up, "Honey, remember I use to wear bikinis when I was her age? She's 25. It's not like she is wearing tassels and a thong out there. She'll be okay."
Dad looked unhappy but I think mom speaking up made the difference. "Be careful out there."
He couldn't get himself to say yes to the bikini, but he wasn't forbidding it. I went to the bottom of my suitcase, grabbed it and went to the bathroom. It was a pink 2-piece bikini. It was far from the most scandalous bikini one could wear. It covered my butt and about 80% of my chest, which was very large. I took a final look at myself and then tried my best to rush out of the hotel room before dad could see me and change his mind.
Walking outside was exciting for me. It was true that lots of other women were wearing bikinis. But for me, this was the most skin I have shown outside in a while. I was excited for the guys to see me wearing this. I was a few minutes late to the beach but the five guys and single girl were all already there.
The first guy to see me did a double take before declaring, "Hey, awesome suit! What was your name again, sorry."
"It's Lena," I said with a smile and probably a bit of blush showing in my cheeks.
Everyone greeted me and I instantly felt like I was ten times more welcomed than previously. The other girl and I were invited to tell stories, jokes (which always got a laugh) and answers to a whole bunch of questions. I talked for almost 10 minutes about Runescape despite me being the only one there to have ever played it. I think I actually got more attention than the other girl, which I attributed to me being curvier than her. Not that it's a competition.
After a joke I gave that got a loud round of laughs, one the guys looked at me and said, "Lena, thanks for hanging out with us. I was worried this trip would be dull, but with you around it's been a blast."
The guys all agreed and the girl lightly nodded. "I really hope you can keep hanging out with us. Oh, I meant to bring you a gift from the gift shop, but I forgot. I'll do that next time," another guy mentioned. Several of them mentioned a similar sentiment of wanting to bring me a gift next time. I was almost blushing from the attention.
"Hey Lena, did you know that you are actually allowed to go topless anywhere at this resort?"
I paused upon hearing this. That was an odd thing to bring up.
"Is that true?" I asked not knowing how else to respond.
A different guy answered, "It is, take a look at that sign behind you."
