At the doorway to the bubble baths, looking in, Josy and Melanie exchanged a quick look. They knew they had to check it out.

There were two circular baths that could easily fit six people, and there were only three girls in the left bath. After a few minutes, the other girls got out and left.

They heard their names being called. Surprisingly, it wasn’t from their group. It was Riley and Jazmin, who they’d met on the rooftop two days earlier.

“Fancy meeting you here,” Josy said, gesturing to the mostly empty bubble bath.

Riley and Jazmin joined them in the water, and after being asked about their roommates, they mentioned it was just them.

The bubbles stopped and Josy asked, “Mel, can you press the button? Just reach, you don’t need to get out.”

Melanie turned around, spotting the button. She knew she’d have to either climb out or lean over the edge to reach, and Josy had taken the choice from her. She climbed up with her knees on the bench and heard giggles while she reached to press the button.

She quickly sat back down, unable to meet their eyes.

“I like your suit,” Jazmin giggled.

Melanie looked up to see the thumbs up accompanied by a wink.

“Uh huh,” Josy said , placing her hand on Melanie’s right thigh, giving a little squeeze .

Feeling the hand about to leave, Melanie put her own on top of it. Still feeling the effects of their time outside on the grass, she let out a happy sigh. Even though the other two might notice, she guided Josy’s hand between her thighs, trapping it there.

Jazmin’s eyes sparkled as she asked, “Any chance of a streaking today?”

While Melanie shook her head, Josy turned to her and asked, “Do you want to try it now?”

Melanie wondered what Josy was talking about. She frowned as the hand between her legs escaped its prison.

“Try what? Streaking?” Riley asked.

“Nothing like that. Before you joined us, she said she wanted to see if she could get away with going bottomless under the bubbles.”

“You totally could,” Riley enthused, while Jazmin’s eyes went wide, and they both stared at the stunned Melanie.

Seeing the two girl’s anticipation , and feeling Josy’s hand on her right hip pushing her suit down a little, Melanie felt a shiver go through her. She was still quite worked up from before , and the idea was ramping her excitement back up. However, it was already bad enough that the girls thought she was a streaker, so she shook her head.

“Friday was fun, though,” Jazmin said.

Riley readily agreed, nodding. “You totally surprised us. Lovely panties.”

Jazmin giggled. “A bit tight on you.” She winked.

“Form fitting.”

Melanie wanted to drown herself in the bubbles but hid her face in her hands instead.

“Don’t be like that. You’re awesome. All of us agreed. We hope you’ll join us again next Friday.”

Peeking through her fingers, she saw the sincerity in their faces. They weren’t being mean, even though the teasing about her panties had been a bit much.

“And don’t worry, you don’t have to streak the rooftop for us.”

Josy brought Melanie back to the moment with another tug on her bikini bottoms. “What do you say, Mel? Do you want to go for it?” she asked with a wink.

Could she get away with it? Through the bubbles, she could only barely make out the color of her suit, so it might be okay. Josy’s question didn’t count as a push, though. Melanie looked her girlfriend in the eyes and opened her mouth to speak. No words came out.

The finger on her hip again pushed her suit down a little. That was a sign, wasn’t it? It was a push.

Looking around the room, she lifted herself up off the seat, and after glancing at the two other girls, she steeled herself and quickly slid her bottoms down her butt. Sitting back down, she slid them off her legs and placed them in Josy’s lap before she might change her mind. The beaming smile she got made her head swim.

Josy showed them to the others, and they smiled and clapped, drawing attention from the people in the other bath.

Changing her mind and wanting them back, Melanie reached towards Josy’s hand.

Josy grinned at her, allowing her hand to be captured.

The suit wasn’t there, and Melanie felt a moment of annoyance, but then grinned back as she again trapped Josy’s hand between her legs.

Riley and Jazmin were staring at them with a wide-eyed look.

Melanie, as shocked by her own brazenness as by being caught, let go of the hand between her thighs. She carefully watched for Josy’s reaction.

With a casual wink, Josy played it off and managed to defuse the tension.

“Are you staying like that then?” Riley asked.

Melanie shook her head and again reached for her bottoms, but Josy kept it away from her. She tried to grab it, reaching and leaning over Josy, losing her balance in the process. They became a tangled mess and ended up in the middle of the bath.

As they sat back in their spots, Josy pushed Melanie’s bottoms between them under the water.

“We didn’t see much,” Jazmin winked.

“You mean, we didn’t see any,” Riley giggled.

“All smooth.”

They both giggled. Melanie gasped, mortified.

Jazmin looked around the room. “Don’t worry, I don’t think anyone else saw.”

“There you are,” a familiar voice said behind them, and they turned around to see Brian and Alex up to them. They stepped into the bath, Brian sitting down next to Melanie, Alex between Brian and Jazmin.

“Where did you go?” asked Brian. “We checked here earlier, but you weren’t here.”

“The outside area,” Josy said.

“What about the outside area?” Sarah asked, climbing in next to Melanie. Manuel, Cohen, and Teresa got in as well. It was a tight fit, but they managed.

“Brian just asked where we were.”

“Nuh uh, not there. We checked.”

“We went out on the grass. You probably didn’t see us.” Melanie hoped that was true. Well, Sarah would’ve said so if they’d seen them, no doubt.

“Out in the cold?” Sarah asked with a shudder.

“It wasn’t so bad.”

“So, who’s your friends?”

They introduced everyone to Riley and Jazmin, who went on to describe the Halloween party they’d been to. A series of challenges had escalated into the final winner being a girl who had run out of the house topless, around the front yard, and back inside, remaining topless the rest of the party.

“What did she win?” Teresa asked.

“Well, honors, of course.”

Everyone laughed.

“Takes guts to do that,” Teresa added, with everyone agreeing.

Melanie was feeling quite gutsy herself, sitting among her friends in nothing but her bikini top. She mostly kept her hands in her lap, trying to hide that fact.

“You know,” Alex began, “we saw some topless girls earlier.”

“Really?” Riley asked in surprise, and looked at Melanie, who gave a minute shake of her head.

“Well, they kept their arms over their chests,” Manuel added.

Riley was still looking at her, and Melanie wished she wouldn’t draw attention to her like that. Brian must’ve noticed and was grinning.

“Actually,” Melanie said, “They said going topless is not strictly against the rules.”

“Wow. A lifeguard said that?” Cohen laughed. “Wait, you asked?”

Melanie didn’t know what to say. The bubble bath suddenly seemed too hot for her, but she could hardly get out, given her missing bottoms.

“We overheard them,” Josy said, coming to the rescue.

“Ah.”

Cohen leaned over to Manuel, and they briefly whispered among themselves, both grinning like crazy. “You know, since it’s allowed. Dare you girls to go topless.”

Sarah smirked. “Hah, no way.”

“Just in the bubbles.”

“What do you say?” Riley asked. “Could be fun.”

Jazmin and Teresa agreed. Josy did as well, at which point Sarah went along with the flow. They all looked at Melanie, who felt that after her mistake of mentioning the rules, she only had herself to blame. Feeling the pressure all around her, she stared into the bubbles.

Jazmin giggled. “Look at you, blushing up a storm. Come on, it’ll be fun.”

“We’ll pay for your lunches, right guys?” Cohen asked. The other guys agreed.

“It’s just our tops,” Riley said. “We’re not letting the guys see anything.” To show what she meant, she put her arm over her chest.

The guys argued that was not part of the dare, but the girls strongly pushed back, and the guys accepted that topless behind an arm was better than not topless at all.

Seeing how all the others were in, Melanie felt she didn’t have much of a choice and said, “Fine.” She took hold of her top and in a swift motion she whipped it up over her head and dropped it behind her outside the bath, much to the approval of the guys.

They were all staring at her. A little too late, she put her right arm over her chest, hoping she hadn’t just flashed them. At least her nipples had been hidden by the bubbles, she was certain.

The other girls followed suit but were much more careful about it. Melanie felt a shudder going through her. With her top off, she felt completely naked, because she was! ‘Oh my God,’ she thought. The reality of the situation hit her. Completely naked in a public pool, surrounded by four guys and five girls. Where were her bottoms? They weren’t between them anymore. Where did Josy put them?

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she closed her eyes, trying to get her breathing under control. The others were talking and laughing, but she missed every word due to the roaring in her ears.

After a good long moment, she felt calm enough to open her eyes. Keeping her arm firmly over her perky b-cups, Melanie checked out the competition.

Sarah’s c-cup breasts were quite similar in size to Josy’s, while Jazmin was the clear winner when it came to size. She was using both arms to hide as much as she could of her double D’s, which were drawing a lot of attention. She seemed not to mind.

Riley was also a c-cup, or perhaps a large b-cup, a bit smaller than Sarah and Josy. That left Teresa and Melanie – the solid b-cups – with the smallest chests. Melanie wasn’t sure who’d win out between them, but honestly, she didn’t care. She accepted her perky boobs for what they were and felt they fit her body shape well. More importantly, Josy had always shown an appreciation for them.

“You know, it’s almost like you’re totally naked right now,” Riley quipped.

Melanie froze. Under the water, she felt Sarah’s hand touching her hip and probing her skin where her suit should have been.

“Naughty, naughty,” Sarah giggled.

Melanie’s heart skipped; everyone was about to be in the know.

“What?” Cohen asked.

“What she said. Riley, right?” Sarah winked at the girl.

Melanie sighed, relieved that Sarah wasn’t outing her just yet.

The others turned to look at Melanie, who was glad the bubbles were still active. She managed to say, “You can all stop looking at me, thank you.”

“Just dispel the illusion by standing up,” Riley said, keeping up the pressure.

“No, just stop the creepy stares.”

Everyone looked away, except for Riley, who stared at her intently. “You’re all so much fun. If only you’d been there yesterday, joining that girl in her topless run.”

Strangely, Melanie felt a twinge of jealousy aimed at the girl she didn’t even know. She wished she’d been there, and wondered whether she would have joined the challenge. “She does sound really brave.”

The others all looked at her – perhaps wondering why she’d said that. She tensed up.

“Would you up the ante?” Riley continued, as if addressing all the girls, but eyes on Melanie, “Dare to get naked at a party?”

Brian chuckled, and Melanie stared daggers at him. Naked at a party – she’d done that, albeit a small private party, and she didn’t need Brian to react like that.

Cohen looked quite serious, saying, “Of everyone here, Melanie surprised me the most.”

“What do you mean?” Josy asked, her hand finding Melanie’s thigh, lightly squeezing.

“Well, she’s the shy, quiet one of our group,” Cohen said, “but she’s wearing the most daring bikini bottoms. Not just that, she even took off her top first.”

Sarah nodded. “I know what you mean. We’re all seeing a totally different side of her today.”

Forcing a smile, Melanie didn’t have to try acting embarrassed; it was all real. Josy’s hand inched up her thigh.

Sarah continued. “Though it looks like she hasn’t changed much after all. Aww, I still can’t believe you guys left before all the good stuff. Costume contest – a lot of creativity. And you missed Cohen making googly eyes with our newest friend here.”

Teresa laughed, bumping her shoulder against Cohen, who rolled his eyes, causing more laughs from the others.

As the conversation turned away from Melanie, she was getting more and more distracted by Josy’s hand on her thigh, which had almost reached the forbidden zone. She pressed her legs together and placed both hands on top of it, to let Josy know that was far enough. Between all the stimulation outside and this most recent activity, she needed to get rid of some tension.

After surreptitiously pushing the hand away, she leaned sideways, grabbing her left shoulder in her right hand, pulling and stretching her muscles. Pushing up against Josy, she pulled her shoulder a little further, and then switched shoulders to mirror the stretch, leaning into Sarah.

“Careful there,” Sarah said, pushing back a little.

“Sorry,” Melanie said. “Just felt the need to stretch a little after all that grabbing and pulling in the chicken fight.” She needed to get rid of that other tension and felt butterflies in her stomach at the idea of her next stretch. With her already made excuse, she knew she could get away with it. Pushing her butt back on the seat, she arched her back, stretching her arms up above her and slowly angling them backwards. She felt the top of her breasts cresting the surface, followed by her nipples being teased by bubbles. She didn’t let up. Her abs protested as she pushed further, her head tilted towards the ceiling.

There were several gasps from around her. She lowered her arms to her chest, wondering if she’d gone too far.

“What was that?” Sarah asked her, wide-eyed.

“Uh, a stretch,” Melanie managed to say. Yes, she’d gone too far. She’d felt how her nipples, and much of her breasts had cleared the bubbles for all of them to see.

“Quite daring, but not so subtle,” Sarah giggled.

“Those looked quite supple to me, actually,” Alex joked.

Melanie noticed how the other guys smiled or nodded along. She buried her face in her hands, when the bubbles suddenly stopped!

She quickly moved her hands down to her lap. All eyes were on her.

“I don’t think I see a suit,” Alex said.

“I don’t either.” Cohen agreed.

“Of… Of course not,” Melanie managed to croak. “I’m hiding it.”

“You’re the only one not hiding your boobs.”

Not seeing a way out, Melanie felt panic rising inside her. They knew – they knew she was naked. The bubbles came back on, and Sarah sat back down beside her.

Riley broke the silence that followed, “I feel like I could eat. Lunch?”

Everyone agreed and started to get out. Before Josy stood up, she leaned over and whispered in Melanie’s ear, “Loved your little show, but I think you’re just a bit too comfy, don’t you agree?”

Melanie shook her head. She didn’t like where this was going.

“So, I’m thinking, how is it a push when you’re so comfy? Well, here’s the push.” Josy put on her own top and got out.

Melanie stayed in the bath. Last one remaining in the water, she turned around to get her bikini top, but Josy had picked it up and was walking towards the others near the doorway. Where even were her bottoms? She felt her heart beating faster in her chest. The safe word! Josy had given her plenty of time to use it, but she hadn’t.

“Josy!”

“Come.”

Melanie took a look around the room. Most people had left – likely off to lunch. There were only three girls in the other bath, and they were watching her, perhaps wondering what was going on. She shook her head at Josy.

“It’s fine. It’s just us and them. There’s no lifeguards here either. You can do it.”

Turning away from them, she glanced down at her chest. Her sensitive nipples were sending signals she couldn’t ignore, and she moved her arm out a little. Standing high and proud on her chest, they were begging for attention, but all she could do was cover them. She looked back over her shoulder, and said, “I can’t.”

She saw that Sarah was whispering something in Josy’s ear, who shook her head, whispering something back.

Josy raised her eyebrows at Melanie, waiting. She turned for a moment to look out the door, before calling, “It’s safe now, but someone from the pool could come any minute.”

Oh God, she had to do it. Making sure her back was aimed at her friends, she lifted herself up off the seat, her right arm firmly over her chest and her left hand between her legs. As her hips rose up out of the water, she checked to make sure her pussy was hidden, adjusting her hand a bit. That was a mistake, and she gasped at how sensitive she was down there. Inadvertently, she’d pressed down on her middle finger, and found a slippery wetness that could not be explained by the pool water.

While she moved her fingers to make sure she was covered, her back still turned towards her friends, she heard the guys talking.

“No way.”

“You were right.”

“Wow.”

Her bare back, naked butt, the smooth skin of her legs. It was all on display for them, with nothing except for her braided hair as cover. She couldn’t believe Josy was making her do this! Her head was swimming in conflicting emotions. She was scared, so very scared, but also felt that familiar tingle down below.

She shivered and took a deep breath, before slowly turning around. Facing the group, the naked reality forced itself on her in the form of a tremor rocking her body. She double checked that her hands were hiding her most intimate parts.

The guys were staring, and the girls were whispering. Melanie had to ignore them and decided it was best not to delay any further. She briskly walked up to them, standing in front of Josy, and said, “Gimme.”

Josy gave the bottoms first and followed Melanie a small distance away from the group.

With a nervous look at the three girls in the other bath, Melanie resigned herself, and used both hands to sort out her bottoms. A rush went through her as she bared her pussy to those girls. They could see her completely hairless mound and lips.

She fumbled with her bikini and felt the strange urge to prolong the moment. She told herself that she shouldn’t. The others, though they couldn’t see her front, would have an interesting view through her thigh gap. Her knees slightly bent, she leaned over just a little to put her right foot into the bottoms. She wondered how much they could see, as her left foot followed.

She could’ve done that faster, she knew. Steadily pulling her bottoms up her legs, and then sliding them up her butt, she rationalized it by telling herself she’d look more dignified if she didn’t appear to be in a panic.

Covering her chest again, she accepted her top from Josy, who helped her put it back on.

“Now tell me you didn’t enjoy that,” Josy whispered in her ear.

“It was too much.” Melanie felt unsure. The moment had passed. The rush had left her. She heard the others leave the room, saying something about finding a table.

“But?” Josy blew softly on Melanie’s earlobe.

Melanie sighed. “Yes. I did. Happy?”

“Uh huh. I had to push you.”

Making eye contact with her girlfriend, and she felt the corners of her mouth curl up into a smile. Still, she was worried. “They’ll talk about me.”

“The girls there clapped for you. The guys, I think we can convince them to keep quiet.”

“Theresa.”

“She seemed as shocked as the others, but she also clapped for you. Now let’s go have lunch.”

Melanie felt her nervousness ramping up as she approached the lunch table. They quieted down and were all looking at her as she pulled up a chair, as if waiting for her to say something. What could she say? Her blush must’ve been obvious, and she couldn’t bear to look at their faces.

Sarah broke the silence, and said, “Your new friends asked if they could join us.”

“Of course, you’re welcome,” Josy said to Jazmin and Riley.

“You’re amazing.” Riley said, drawing Melanie’s attention to her. “You did the dare and with flying colors.”

Melanie was surprised. She hadn’t expected Riley to come to her aid by mentioning that it had all been a dare, even if it was kind of true. Rewarding Riley with a smile, she still felt all the attention pressing down on her, but the worst of it had been dispelled.

They were drawing attention from nearby tables. Melanie glanced around, surprised to see the three jerks from earlier turning around in their chairs. She hadn’t even recognized them. They seemed to all wear an expression of kids who had missed out on their favorite candy.

“That was incredible,” Alex said.

“Hard to believe you stepped out of the bath and walked over to us, completely naked,” Sarah mused.

The others took turns complimenting Melanie, with Brian and Alex saying things like “Awesome,” and “nice butt.”

The three guys had a positively painful look after hearing all that, and despite the embarrassment at having her experience described with the audience they had, she found herself smiling at positive reactions from her friends.

The three guys seemed to have had enough of hearing what they’d missed out on and stood up to leave, not even finishing their food. Melanie grinned at them as they had one last look at her as they turned tail and fled.

After the talk about her dare, Melanie was glad that for the remainder of their lunch break they talked about other things. At one point she made eye contact with Josy and received a supporting smile.

“We’re gonna go,” Jazmin said when they were done eating. “We hadn’t planned to be here this long, but it was nice seeing you again.”

“Friday rooftop?” Riley asked.

“Maybe,” Melanie whispered, while Josy answered at the same time, “Sure.”

Though she hadn’t eaten much, Melanie was glad they all took it easy and went to the more shallow round pool, instead of the Olympic one. She was able to relax and enjoy herself. Some of the time in the water, some sitting on the edge and chatting.

“How about another chicken fight?” Cohen asked after a while.

“It’s getting late,” Sarah said.

It had been getting noticeably less crowded. Looking around for the time, Melanie was surprised that it was already past four. The pool would close at five.

Alex jumped back in the pool. “I’m up for another round.”

Once everyone agreed, Cohen added, “How about we spice it up a little? The girls go topless again.”

“Hah, not a chance,” Teresa laughed, playfully slapping his shoulder.

“Aww, come on. It was fun.”

“Yeah, in the bubbles it was. Maybe our most daring girl will do it ,” Teresa said.

They all turned to look at Melanie. She wilted under their stares, but at the same time felt the butterflies in her tummy at the thought of playing topless chicken. She couldn’t do that. Did they really think she would? She knew she should shake her head, or say ‘no’ outright, but all she could do was stare and imagine herself sitting on someone’s shoulders with her chest bared high above the water.

“Mel?” Josy motioned her to follow, and they swam off to the side.

“I can’t.” Melanie pleaded with her eyes before Josy could even start.

Josy moved closer. “But you want to ,” she whispered. “Besides, you already broke the ice earlier, when you showed them your beautiful breasts during your stretching play.”

The butterflies wouldn’t leave her alone. Slightly trembling, Melanie nodded.

“The jerks are gone. We saw them leaving earlier,” Josy continued. “There’s not that many people left. The staff won’t make an issue, we know.”

Melanie was glad those three were gone.

“You remember the safe word?” Another nod. “Good. Sink down in the water and take off your top.”

Checking her surroundings, Melanie saw that indeed there weren’t that many people around anymore. Only four others were in the circular pool. She could see that the Olympic pool still had quite a few people, mostly swimming laps. Low in the water, she took off her top and handed it to Josy.

“Here, I’ll tie it to your bottoms, so we don’t lose it.”

Melanie was glad that she’d have the top within reach in case she’d need it quickly. She didn’t like, however, how Josy took her time to make a complicated knot.

“Just so you don’t lose it,” Josy winked.

Sighing, Melanie looked at the others. They were watching – the guys in a particularly upbeat mood.

Keeping low in the water, Melanie swam back with Josy.

“Can we really not convince you to join?” Cohen asked, receiving flat refusals from Sarah, Teresa and Josy.

“Same teams?” Melanie asked. She wondered if Josy still wanted her to team up with Alex.

Same teams got consensus and Alex asked Melanie, “Do you want me to give you a boost, or…”

Melanie hesitated. She was still low in the water, hiding her bare chest. She knew that if he swam under her to let her get on his shoulders, she’d be at his mercy when he’d rise up and expose her chest. On the other hand, if she had to climb up on his shoulders, she might accidentally give him a face full.

“A boost, please.”

A moment later, she felt the back of his neck against her crotch, his hands holding her legs. She rose up out of the water, water pouring down her chest as she flailed her arms for balance until Alex had a good grip on her legs. She quickly returned her arm to her breasts but knew the others had already had a good show.

The first round started and to Melanie’s shock, both Sarah and Teresa immediately went for her. With only one arm to hold them off, she had no chance and fell back in the water in no time. She was glad her bare chest was hidden underwater but wondered why they’d gone for her so quickly.

Josy had taken advantage of the situation and unseated Sarah. A brief struggle later, Josy and Brian had won the round.

The next round went very similar, and Melanie was again the first in the water, but Sarah and Teresa were more successful in fending off Josy. Teresa won that round.

“Guys, what gives?” Melanie exclaimed, feeling very annoyed at being ganged up like that twice in a row.

Sarah giggled. “You’re just too easy a target with one arm.”

“She’s right, Mel,” Josy laughed. “Use both arms next round.”

Josy held eye contact for a moment longer and Melanie knew what it meant. It was a push. She’d have to do it, or else use the safe word. Admittedly, the arm over her chest had been a cheat of sorts. A way for her to be topless while avoiding the daring aspect of having her chest exposed. She felt her hardening nipples poking against her arm as she thought of dropping her arm the coming round.

“Ready?” Alex asked , and after her nod, he went underwater and boosted her up.

Sarah and Teresa again went for Melanie first, but as her arm left her chest, Cohen and Manuel were quite clearly distracted, and with Josy’s help, Sarah and Teresa were first in the water.

“Careful of those nipples, they look like they could take an eye out,” Josy stated as she faced off with Melanie.

Melanie blushed, trying to block out her friends’ reactions to Josy’s witticism, and refrained from covering up. Fending off Josy’s attack, she managed to turn it around and to her surprise she was the last one remaining. She and Alex had won the round! She gave a loud whoop and high-fived Alex, who released a leg to do so.

Part of her win was quite possibly Brian also being distracted, and with a grin, she guessed that Josy’s trick had backfired.

Feeling all eyes on her, she became self-conscious, but Josy laughed, “Oh, no you don’t. No covering up just because you won.”

She had indeed been about to hide her chest, but Josy’s remark gave her pause. Looking around, she noticed for the first time that they’d grown an audience. There were at least a dozen people sitting on the edge of the pool, watching them.

Letting herself fall back into the water, she was dismayed that Alex was still holding her legs. For a moment, she hung off his shoulders at an angle with her breasts still above the water, nipples pointing at the ceiling, and the muscles in her stomach straining. Lifting her head, her eyes traced down her tummy to the rise of her mound, framed by her bottoms, made more pronounced by the way her pose pulled in her stomach.

There were cheers coming from their audience.

“Please let go,” she begged and felt Alex release her legs so that she could finally submerge.

She stayed under, holding her breath. She didn’t want to face anyone after being seen in that pose. Less than fifteen seconds later, she felt strong arms pull her up by her shoulders.

“Are you okay?” Alex asked. He held her just high enough to keep her head above water.

Josy was there too, and Melanie struggled briefly, feeling Alex release her, as she went to her girlfriend, wrapping her arms around her.

Josy seemed to hesitate, but then returned the hug.

“I guess we’re done,” Sarah said. “We all won at least one round.”

Melanie noticed Josy trying to break the hug, but she held on. Seeming to understand, Josy kept holding her until long after the others mentioned going to the showers.

Disengaging, Melanie said, “Feel my heart.” She placed Josy’s hand against the inside of her left breast. “It’s racing.”

“Hmm, it is,” Josy seemed nervous, but smiled at her. “So is mine. I don’t want to think about what that looked like. How you just rushed over to me. They’re probably talking about us.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I pushed you a lot today, didn’t I?”

“You did.”

“Topless in front of your friends.”

“Don’t remind me, please.” Melanie knew she was blushing.

“We still have an audience.” Josy briefly looked at the people sitting around the pool. Thankfully, some of them had stood up and left, but there were still too many. “Is it okay if I go first? I’m not leaving you alone here. Just follow me after I get out. Here, put your top back on.” She had been removing the knot and passed Melanie’s top to her.

Melanie nodded. By separating, perhaps the rumor mill would be at least a little confused. She said, “They can guess, but we don’t have to say anything.”

Melanie was suddenly worried about Alex. He might confirm suspicions. She just hoped he would keep his promise. She’d tell Josy about that, but later, assuming he kept his word.

“Time to go home.”

With her top back on, Melanie waded to the edge of the pool, away from the five guys. They were watching her but didn’t come any closer. She watched them carefully, as she climbed out. Thankfully, Josy was paying attention as well, and she could see a lifeguard nearby. As she walked towards the showers, she looked back and saw them still staring at her thong clad butt. Sensing that they weren’t going to follow her, she felt relieved, and was then able to enjoy the attention. They were watching her, and apparently liked what they saw.

Entering the open public shower area between the pool and the changing rooms, her friends were just leaving to get changed. It was just her and Josy, and Melanie took a shower next to her girlfriend. As she rinsed off, they smiled at each other.

“I had fun today.”

Josy smiled.

“You pushed me a lot,” Melanie whispered, wondering if she’d get another push before going home. She took her braid and removed the elastic band. Under the spray, she untangled her hair.

Having finished rinsing, Josy watched her from the doorway. She hadn’t said anything since exiting the pool, but she was still smiling. She raised an eyebrow.

There’s only one thing that could mean, Melanie thought. She looked back towards the pool. Seeing no one coming, she pulled her top off.

Bright-eyed, Josy was beaming at her.

Melanie walked out of the shower area, handing her top to Josy as she passed, wiggling her butt. *Smack* She squealed and hopped towards her locker, Josy following her close behind.
