As she lay on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks, Alison's mind was filled with images of Pete. The girl with her mouth round his penis...then the way she slowly lowered herself onto him...the way her pussy lips enfolded him...the obvious enjoyment he was getting. With trembling fingers, she composed a text. "You bastard. I saw it all on your webcam. I never want to see you again. Ever!" She hit the 'send' key and went back to her misery. After a few minutes, her 'phone rang. The screen simply said 'Pete'. She rejected the call and turned the 'phone off.
As she lay there, she heard the sound of tyres on gravel, followed by the slamming of car doors and Phil and Jan's voices as they opened the front door. Hurriedly, she splashed water on her face and tidied herself up, checking herself in the mirror as she headed downstairs.
"Hello there," Phil greeted her as she walked into the kitchen, "Jan's making Tea. Do you want a cup?"
Jan was busying herself at the stove, wearing a knee-length skirt and white blouse, with an apron tied round her waist. She smiled at Alison, and returned to her tea making.
"No, thanks," Alison replied. "I was going to go swimming and sunbathing this afternoon. Is there anywhere you'd recommend?"
"I don't know," Phil replied, thoughtfully. "Jan might know. She's a local girl. Jan... Where would you advise Alison to go?"
Jan turned and thought for a moment. "Treligga Bay is nice," She answered. "Secluded and private. Good for an all-over tan, if you know what I mean."
"Jan!" Phil exclaimed, with mock shock in his voice. "Are you trying to corrupt my niece with your wicked ways?" He laughed...and Alison noticed the way his eyes wrinkled at the corners and how broad his smile was, and how infectious his laugh.
"Oh, Phil," Jan said, her eyes twinkling. "I'm sure Alison's no stranger to the all-over tan, are you Alison?"
Alison felt the redness rise in her cheeks. "No...I went on Holiday to Ibiza last year. Everyone was topless, so I joined in. It felt strange at first, but I didn't notice at all after a couple of days."
Alison felt her cheeks redden even more, as she recalled the gazes of the men...both young and old...from her holiday. Although she would never admit it, she had found the experience quite a turn-on. Even now, she felt a slight tingle in her belly as she recalled the event.
"Erm...I was wondering if I could take a picnic?" Alison asked. "Nothing much, just a snack."
"Of course," Jan smiled. "I'll make you up a little something while you get ready."
"Thanks, Jan." Alison replied. "I'll be down soon."
She headed upstairs, leaving Phil and Jan alone in the kitchen. She wanted some time to herself, and she didn't want them to see her upset. From her bag she took a black bikini, the same one she had only worn half of in Ibiza, and a cotton dress. In a bag she shoved sun cream, after sun, her book (some slow-paced thriller her Mother had bought her, informing her it was 'This year's must-read'), her iPod and her sandals. She looked at the 'phone, and decided to leave it behind. She changed into the bikini and dress, shouldered the bag and headed downstairs.
Phil and Jan looked up as she entered the kitchen. Phil gave an appreciative whistle, and received a dark look from Jan for his trouble.
"Stop that," Jan scolded him. "You'll embarrass the girl."
Alison felt herself blush again, as Jan gave her directions to the beach, and a hand-drawn sketch map. Thanking them both, she took the basket Jan had prepared and set off.
