Safely inside my cabin, I dropped my towel and went out onto the balcony, exposing myself to the Pacific Ocean. The ocean did not care either. Since I was starting to feel bolder, I took off my bikini top. The ocean still did not care. I went to the front door of the cabin completely naked. I opened the door dramatically and closed it just as quickly.
“Too much, too fast,” I told myself.
I put the towel back around my waist and opened the door. I slowly peeked my head out. The hallway was empty, so I carefully walked out the door wearing nothing but a towel around my waist. My breasts were fully exposed to the empty hallway and the world did not explode. I stood in front of my door just waiting to jump back in the cabin the second someone appeared in the hallway.
There was no one, so I started to slowly walk down the hallway. Pretty soon I was too far away from my door to dive in. I had also left it open, so I went back to close the door. I was less nervous walking the few feet back to the cabin then I had been walking away from it.
“There’s nothing to be nervous about,” I told myself. “Plenty of people have seen your boobs before.”
Actually it was more like six people, but I was trying to talk myself out of worrying about it so much.
After I closed the cabin door, I walked down the hallway with slightly more confidence. I was too far away from the cabin to hide, but I could always pull the towel up to cover myself. It would not be elegant. I would probably look ridiculous scrambling to cover myself like that, but it was the only safety net I had.
By the time I reached the nearest elevator, I had walked twenty feet with my breasts out and the ship did not sink.
“This is a good experiment,” I told myself. “That’s perfect. Think of it as a scientific experiment and it is perfectly normal.”
I made it all the way to the end of the hallway topless and no one saw me. I was a little surprised that I had not run into anyone. This was the most time I had spent in the hallway. Sometimes I saw other people after a few seconds. I guess when you can be naked anywhere on the ship, nudists are not going to spend all day in the hall.
I was at the front end of the hallway and there was nowhere left to go, so I went back toward my cabin, but I was a lot braver now. I unwrapped the towel from my waist and held it in my hands. I was completely naked. I could still cover myself with the towel if anyone showed up, but otherwise, I was fully exposed.
“If Liam could see me now,” I told myself. Then I thought about it for a second. “He wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off me.”
To Liam, this would be a very erotic moment. To him, nudity does equal sex. Then again, to him, pizza and beer can equal sex. He is a sexually frustrated young guy who lives with a bunch of other sexually frustrated young guys. To Liam, anything can equal sex.
I think that is when I first understood what the nudists were talking about when they say that nudity does not equal sex. I was not thinking about sex at all during my hallway experiment. I was afraid that someone would see me. I was nervous the way you get nervous when you are standing on a tall tower and looking over the railing. I was a little excited about doing something that I have been told my entire life I should never do. But I was not at all aroused at any point and there was absolutely nothing sexual about what I was doing.
I always thought nudity equaled sex because I had never been exposed to any public nudity that was not sexual. When people get naked in movies, they have sex. Maybe not in Hong Kong, since they censor all nudity and sex. Nudity or even the hint of nudity in advertising is always used sexually. The way I was raised, nudity was sex, and both were evil.
It did not take me long to realize that sex was nowhere close to evil. As soon as I started having it, I knew that nothing that felt so good could be so bad. Maybe everything I was taught about nudity is just as wrong as everything I was taught about sex.
I could not see anything evil with walking down this hallway naked. I was not hurting anyone. Even if someone had seen me, it was a nudist cruise. Nudists were never going to be shocked or offended from seeing me naked. It is not like walking naked down the hallway of a Holiday Inn. I was not having sex in the hall. I was just walking toward my room.
“I have every right to walk naked in this hallway,” I told myself. “I can walk naked anywhere on this ship if I want to. I’m a paying customer.”
I did not actually pay anything to be on the ship and I could not walk naked in the main restaurant or any of the areas that were out of bounds for passengers, but I was ready to tell anyone who told me to put clothes on to go jump in a lake.
When I got to my cabin, I defiantly tossed the towel to the floor in front of my door.
“I don’t need you anymore,” I bravely told the towel.
It did not talk back. I was courageous, not crazy.
I walked away from my cabin completely naked and without the towel. If someone had shown up, they would have seen everything and there would be nothing I could do about it. I could cover myself with my hands like some girl surprised by her boyfriend with a camera who then put the picture on Facebook. That would just make me look stupid.
“Oops, you caught me walking naked in the hallway, Mr. Nudist.”
It would be better to just be seen naked and be embarrassed.
“At least I waxed everything before the cruise,” I told myself.
I never intended to get naked publicly, but I knew there would be a few bikini moments on the cruise, so I made sure I was as hairless as a Chinese girl.
It is funny to me how white people in my culture try to get tanned while tan people in Chinese culture try to get as white as possible, but we all hate body hair equally.
When the thought of being caught completely naked fully occurred to me, I wanted to rush back to my cabin, but I did not want to lose my newfound bravery. So I walked back to my cabin, maybe a little faster than normal, but I made sure not to walk too fast.
By the time I got back inside my cabin, I was not sure if I should be relieved or exhilarated.
“That was easy,” I said to myself. “I can do this nudist thing.”
And then I immediately put on some clothes.
It was only much later that I thought about the security cameras in the hallway. Some security guy was probably watching the whole thing.
Chapter 16: Hide & Seek
Liam came back to the cabin after I went to sleep. He was horny and made a point of letting me know.
On the one hand, we were living apart and did not get to see each other nearly as much as we wanted. He lived in Mainland China and I lived in Hong Kong, technically the same country, but each requires different paperwork to enter. Our last vacation was wall to wall happy fun time, while he had to work throughout much of this vacation. I wanted to spend time with him just as much as he wanted to spend time with me.
On the other hand, I was asleep.
I went over all the options in my head in about a nanosecond.
Option 1 – I could wake up and we go at it like wild, albeit end of the day tired, animals.
Option 2 – I could partly wake up and get him off as quickly as possible. That is not hard to do.
Option 3 – I could stay half asleep and just let him do whatever he wanted to do.
Option 4 – I could tell him to go satisfy himself in the bathroom while I go back to sleep.
I do not even remember which option I went with. I’m pretty sure I went back to sleep, but I don’t know if I told him anything. I might have just gone to sleep and left him wondering if he was going to get any. I guess that was Option 5.
What I do remember is the dream I had that night. I was at the beach with Earl and Edna, only it was not any beach in Hong Kong. It looked more like Hidden Beach in Minneapolis.
Hidden Beach used to be a nudist beach back in the hippie days, but it is illegal to be naked there now. In fact, a lot of things are illegal there now. I never go there. Not because of all the aging hippies, but because the area attracts a lot of m
oderately illegal activity.
Earl and Edna were naked in the dream. They did not look very good. They were both more overweight than they seemed with clothes on and Earl was hairier than anyone needs to be. They were also older in the dream than in real life. There was no one else on the beach and they wanted me to get naked, too.
“I’m watching my weight,” I said as an excuse, which did not make any sense to me.
“You have every right to be naked here, darling,” Edna told me.
She was obviously appealing to the arguments I made to myself when I was out in the ship’s hallway.
“I’m sure you have a great body,” Earl said to me. “Let all of nature see.”
He was a little creepier in my dream than he was in real life. He was not creepy at all in real life.
“There’s nothing wrong with it,” Edna said. “And everything right.”
“You’re right,” I told them. “It’s in the constitution.”
It is not truly in any constitution about which I have any understanding. Public nudity is actually illegal in both Hong Kong and Minnesota, but this was just a dream.
I stripped all of my clothes off and Earl gave me a thumbs up. I swam around in the water for a while, but when I came back to shore, I did not like what I saw. Earl was lying on the beach, hard as a rock and stroking himself.
“Now that’s just not right,” I said as I walked out of the water.
“Tell me about it,” Edna said. “No man should be that small.”
I heard a rimshot and looked over to see Liam sitting behind a drum kit that was on a small stage on the beach. He might have been naked, but I could not tell with the drums in front of him. He was definitely topless.
“I’m ready for you, little girl,” Earl said, walking toward me.
Liam started playing jungle sounds, like one of those Phil Collins Tarzan songs. I ran away from the beach and found a door. I had no idea where it went, but I went inside and sat down in a very small room. I could hear Earl and Edna looking for me outside.
“Olly olly oxen free,” Edna called out.
“I don’t even know what that means,” I said loud enough for them to hear me even though I was hiding. “How old do you think I am?”
“You are make coming out now,” Earl said in a broken Chinglish accent.
I could see that someone was trying to open the door. It shook and the doorknob moved back and forth. I closed my eyes tight and put my hands over my face. I could not see anything, but I could tell that the door had opened.
When I opened my eyes, Hiram was standing naked in front of me. His erection was inches from my face. The tiny room I was in seemed a lot like my Hong Kong bathroom.
“See anything you like?” Hiram asked me.
“No,” I said as I grabbed him. “It’s disgusting.”
I started to lick him like a lollipop and I could hear Liam playing the drums.
“You don’t mind, do you?” Hiram called out to Liam.
“No, not at all,” Liam answered. I could not see him, but I could hear him. “Have at her.”
I enjoyed Hiram as much as I could. I’m used to Liam, and Hiram was given more blessings in life, so it took some effort.
“What are you doing?” Hiram suddenly asked me.
“Um, I’m making you happy,” I said when I pulled myself away from him. “What does it look like I’m doing?”
“It looks like you’re violating your best friend’s trust,” he answered.
“Not to mention your boyfriend’s,” Liam called out from wherever he was.
“Shut it,” I yelled out to Liam. “What do you care?”
I was still touching Hiram and squeezing him tightly.
“I care that he’s better than me,” Liam yelled back.
“And then some,” Hiram said proudly.
He looked down at me and winked.
“What about me?” I heard Earl ask from a distance.
“You can watch, old man,” Hiram called out to him. “But stay out of the way.”
“What about me?” Edna asked.
There was some kind of noise coming from outside of the room. It sounded like kissing, but I could not see anything from where I was sitting. Hiram poked his head out.
“I didn’t need to see that,” he said.
“What?” I asked him. “What’s going on out there?”
I was stroking Hiram absentmindedly and was more interested in whatever was happening outside.
Hiram brought his head back into the room.
“Liam’s kissing Edna,” he told me.
“Impossible,” I said. “You don’t even know her name.”
“Disgusting, but very possible,” he replied. “But that’s nothing compared to this.”
Hiram picked me up and held me in his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist and fully participated with everything he wanted to do.
“I can never do this with Liam because he’s not strong enough,” I said. “He tried to pick me up once and fell on his ass.”
“I bet he can’t do this either,” Hiram said and kissed me like I have never been kissed before.
I melted in his arms right away, but I could not tell if it was from sitting on Hiram’s great big talent or the passionate kiss.
We held each other tightly, our bodies pressed together.
“I want you to do whatever you want to me,” I whispered in his ear.
“I already did,” he whispered back.
“That was quick,” Liam called from outside.
“That really was,” I could hear Earl say.
Hiram set me back down on whatever I was sitting on before. He rubbed himself and then licked the palm of his hand.
“I can last longer than that,” Liam called out.
“Hell, even I can last longer than that,” Earl said.
“That’s because you can’t get it up, dear,” Edna told Earl.
Liam, wherever he was, played another rimshot.
“Does anyone have any candy?” I asked.
Hiram left the room and I decided I might as well leave, too. It was not the best hiding spot. Everyone knew where I was and what Hiram and I had just done.
When I got out, we were all in a large banquet hall and everybody was naked.
“Who’s for twister?” Earl called out.
“You’ll hurt your back, grampa,” Edna told him.
Earl and Edna seemed to be getting older as the dream progressed.
“Make mine on the rocks,” Liam said to Earl.
“That doesn’t make any sense,” I told him.
“So’s your mom,” he replied.
“Oh, man,” I said to no one in particular. “If she shows up, I’m waking up.”
“You should wake up anyway,” Hiram said. He moved closer to me and put his face up to my ear. “You really should,” he said softly.
“That’s enough!” Earl yelled. “I really need to get laid. Lord knows, this one never puts out,” he said, looking at Edna.
“Don’t look at me,” Liam said. “I’m only the help.”
“Not me,” Hiram said. “I’m spent. I need at least another breakfast before I can get it up again.”
“That leaves you, darling,” Earl said to me.
“I’m not having sex with you, Ted” I said to Earl.
“Who said anything about sex?” Earl asked. “I’m gonna make you lay down face down.”
“Lie down,” I corrected him.
“I’d wake up if I were you,” Hiram said to me.
“I’m afraid it’s lay in this case, little girl,” Earl said. “As in, I’m gonna lay the salsa out of you.”
“Dude, I could really go for some tacos right now,” Hiram decided.
“Do I have any say in this?” I asked Earl.
“Fraid not, baby girl,” he answered.
“Sure,” Hiram said to me. “You can have all the tacos you want.”
“I’m gonna make you lay down face down,” Earl co
ntinued. “Then I’m gonna get on top of you and press you down with my weight. You’ll try to get up, but before you know it, I’ll be inside you.”
“And before you know it, he’ll be finished,” Edna said.
Liam played another rimshot.
“Are you guys going to stand for this?” I asked Liam and Hiram.
I was more than a little surprised that they were not trying to defend me.
“Of course not,” Liam answered. “We’ll sit down.”
“I’m watching,” Hiram said. “No beans about it.”
“Shit, now I want some tacos,” Liam said to Hiram.
Earl grabbed my shoulders and I screamed as loud as I could.
“Don’t do that,” Earl said calmly.
“Why not? I asked him.
“It unwinds the clocks,” Edna said.
Liam played another rimshot.
Earl tried to grab my breasts, but I screamed again. This time, my scream pushed him backward and he fell to the floor. The expression on his face turned angrier than a bird’s, and soon it looked like he was wearing some kind of monster mask.
“There goes my boner,” Hiram announced.
“You weren’t wearing one,” Liam told him.
“Does it seem strange to anyone that we’re all naked in a banquet hall?” I asked.
Horns grew out of Earl’s head and he started to transform into some kind of horror movie creature. As he stood up, he fired Star Wars lightning out of his hands and quickly killed Liam and Hiram.
“That’s a shame,” Edna said, looking down at Hiram’s charred body. “He had the best one.”
Earl pointed his hands at Edna and fired some more lightning.
“What do you think you’re doing?” she asked indignantly, but when the lightning hit her, she fell to the ground.
Earl walked closer to me and peeled off his outer layer of skin. Underneath was another hideous monster.
