Naked Jaybird

Chapter Thirty-Four The next afternoon, Marie took Elizabeth to the beach on a rare sweltering San Francisco day. They visited Baker Beach, a gorgeous beach within view of Golden Gate Bridge. The girls spread out their blankets and Elizabeth began to strip down to her bathing suit. She sat down and smiled as she felt the warm rays of the sun on her skin. She casually looked over at Marie and nearly doubled over. Marie was completely naked. “What on earth are you doing?” blurted Elizabeth. “When did you get prudish all of a sudden?” laughed Marie. “This is the nude part of the beach. Don’t you want to work on your tanlines before we run naked in front of thousands of people?” Elizabeth was now an old pro at being naked in public, but she was still caught off guard when Marie surprised her like that! She was a bit hesitant about getting naked in unfamiliar surroundings. Was it really a nude beach? She knew people in San Francisco were laid back, but she still worried what people would think. And she didn’t have the benefit of alcohol, her liquid courage from last night. Elizabeth reached behind her back and slowly untied her top. “Come on, quit being such a sissy and strip!” mocked Marie as she pulled Elizabeth’s top off. Elizabeth instinctively covered herself in embarrassment. “Don’t rush me!” she laughed as she threw a sandal at Marie. She began to pull at her bottoms, but she was still a bit nervous. Just then, two very attractive men appeared from around the bend, walking a dog. Elizabeth covered her breasts with her arm and tried to play it cool. One of the men smiled at her and nodded. Elizabeth turned red with embarrassment. “Oh god,” groaned Marie. “He’s gay Elizabeth! All the cute ones here are! Now off with the bottoms!” Marie pulled off Elizabeth’s bottoms as Elizabeth shrieked in laughter. “No, no, don’t!” laughed Elizabeth in mock resistance. Soon, both girls were completely naked, taking in the sun. It only took a few minutes for Elizabeth to once again feel completely at ease being naked in public. She wondered why she still resisted at all. “I’m getting overheated,” announced Marie. “I’m going to take a quick dip.” “I’ll join you in a sec,” replied Elizabeth. “Just gotta get an even tan on this side.” Elizabeth watched Marie dash off into the ocean. She forgot what an incredible body Marie had. She chuckled as she recounted Marie stripping her. She wanted to get even with Marie. She smiled as she grabbed Marie and Elizabeth’s clothes and buried them in some sand nearby. Elizabeth dashed off to join her friend in the ocean. The water was freezing but invigorating. Elizabeth could see the Golden Gate in the distance. Here she was, completely naked in front of one of the nation’s most prominent landmarks. She thought back at her mother’s photographs from her youth. The two girls ran back to their beach towels and prepared to leave. “Where are our clothes?” asked Marie. “I don’t know, where did you leave them?” asked Elizabeth. “Right here. They should be right here!” replied Marie. “Marie, did someone steal our clothes?” asked Elizabeth, trying her best not to crack a smile. “Oh my god, if our clothes got stolen….what are we going to do?” asked Marie with a sense of panic in her voice. Elizabeth began to howl in laughter. “You should see the look on your face,” laughed Elizabeth as she dug out the clothes. “Not funny,” replied Marie with a slight smile on her face. “You may have won this round Elizabeth, but you’ll get yours,” she laughed. The next day was Bay to Breakers. Elizabeth was overwhelmed at the number of people at the event. There were all sorts – gay, straight, men, women, white, black, serious marathon runners, people that were just there to drink and party. She still wasn’t certain she could go through with being naked in front of a crowd this large, even if it was socially acceptable. “I don’t see anyone naked here,” said Elizabeth nervously. “Are we going to be the only ones?” “Relax, the people that are naked don’t disrobe until just before the race. We’ll be fine!” The two girls registered and prepared for the run. All Elizabeth could see were serious runners – completely dressed. “Time to disrobe!” announced Marie as she began to strip off her clothes. “I’m not sure I can do this,” replied Elizabeth. “Elizabeth, all of these people are complete strangers who will never see you again! Besides, no one will even recognize you in this,” said Marie as she handed Elizabeth some sunglasses and a headscarf. “I’m not going to have our faces floating around the internet associated with our hot nude bodies! We’re going undercover!” Elizabeth laughed and looked at her naked friend. Just then she saw another pair of women milling about topless. Elizabeth felt relieved and began stripping off her clothes as well. Once she was naked she donned the sunglasses and headscarf and stuffed her clothes in her backpack. Elizabeth looked around and she saw more runners dressed in provocative costumes or even in various states of undress. Most of the naked people were men, but she saw a few women topless and even another naked woman. Marie and Elizabeth were garnering some attention, but most people were pretty respectful. The race began and Elizabeth reveled in the experience of running naked through San Francisco with her best friend in front of thousands of people. She was amused with the antics of some of the runners and found herself having a wonderful time. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw a pair of young women handing out bottles of water to runners – completely naked! “Well, this is San Francisco!” laughed Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Marie both crossed the finish line and hugged. “I’m so glad you did this with me!” smiled Marie. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I’m so glad I did it!” replied Elizabeth. The two girls milled about a bit naked, making friends with other naked people, and making a few heads turn. “I’m going to grab us something to drink,” said Marie. “Hold my bag for me.” Elizabeth smiled as she took in the scene. Just then, a man dressed in nothing but hot pink leather shorts and fairy wings hugged her. “Well aren’t you the belle of the ball!” he laughed. “I may be gay, but I can appreciate a naked woman! I proclaim you Prom Queen of Bay to Breakers!” He waved his magic wand and tossed some “fairy dust” on Elizabeth as she took a curtsey and smiled at his antics. As he left, she bent over to try to shake the “fairy dust” out of her hair. “Where are our bags?” asked Marie as she returned. “Oh, they’re right…..here?” Elizabeth looked to where she had set the bags when she shook her hair, but there was nothing there. She began to panic. “Elizabeth, it wasn’t that funny the first time, and its really not funny this time,” lectured Marie. “Where are the bags?” “I’m totally serious, I left them right there,” said Elizabeth. Just then a police officer walked by. “Party’s over ladies,” he told them. “You need to get dressed and either head home or make your way to a blocked-off drinking area. You can’t stay here.” Elizabeth really began to panic. “Marie, I totally don’t know what happened. I swear I just left the bags right there, and now they’re gone.” “Elizabeth, I am going to kill you. But first, we need to find some clothes.” The two girls began going around, asking total strangers if they could borrow a shirt, pants, anything, even a bag to wear. “Well look at you girlfriend!” said a tall gentleman wearing only a suit jacket and some shorts. “You came undressed for the occasion!” “I’m really sorry to trouble you, but I’ve misplaced my clothes. Do you have anything I could wear? Anything at all?” “Well sure,” replied the man as he took off his jacket. “Anything to help a damsel in distress.” “Thank you so much!” smiled Elizabeth as she covered herself with the jacket. It was just long enough to cover her pubic area. When Elizabeth found Marie, she found her wearing a few newspapers taped together and nothing else. “I am not taking the bus back like this,” frowned Marie. “We’re going to have to walk back.” The girls began to make their way back to Marie’s house. As Elizabeth walked, the jacket bobbed so that she was exposing herself with every step. Still, she was glad she had it. Marie was struggling to keep the newspapers together. They made their way without too much incident. Most people didn’t even notice, and those that did just figured the girls had too much to drink at Bay to Breakers. It was San Francisco after all. They were only a few blocks away when Elizabeth felt a tug on her jacket. She could feel the jacket begin to separate. Soon it was just strips of fabric, barely covering her at all. “Oh my god, what just happened?” cried a shocked Elizabeth, clutching the strips of fabric to her bare chest. “I don’t know,” replied Marie, clutching at her newspapers. “I guess it was an old jacket and just fell apart. We have only a few blocks to go. Maybe we should just make a naked run for it?” Elizabeth looked at the pieces of fabric in her hand. They were not protecting her modesty at all. At least if she just ran naked, she would get home faster and end the humiliation sooner. “Okay, on the count of three. One….two…..three!” The two girls took off racing, completely naked as they had done at Bay to Breakers. Only now, they weren’t protected by the other runners. They passed by a homeless man who couldn’t believe his eyes, and a young delivery boy who nearly dropped his order of Chinese food as he watched the two girls streak past. Elizabeth was humiliated of course, but a piece of her was also a bit aroused at the thought of running naked through the streets of San Francisco and shocking people who had probably seen everything in this town! They finally got to Marie’s house safe and sound, gasping for breath and rummaging for clothes to wear. Elizabeth was putting on some pants when she heard Marie howling in laughter. “I got you good this time Elizabeth!” “What? What are you talking about?” “I set this whole thing up. The lost bag. The jacket falling apart. The streak. I had to get you back!” “What?1?!?” “I had my friends Tony and Kai help me. Tony was the fairy that distracted you while Kai took your bags. Kai was the guy that gave you the jacket. It’s a jacket I rigged to fall apart when I tugged on it. You should have seen your face when that jacket fell apart!” shrieked Marie in a fit of laughter. Elizabeth was furious. “You mean I ran naked through the streets humiliated because of a prank?!?!” “Did you enjoy it?” Elizabeth stopped for a second and thought back at the way the cool air felt on her naked skin, how the delivery boy looked at her with astonishment as she ran by him completely naked, how the humiliation of having to run without clothes turned her on. The thought of it was starting to arouse her once again. Perhaps Marie had done her a favor. "But you only had newspapers to wear. Why did you lose your clothes too?" asked Elizabeth. "Well I didn't want you to have all the fun," smiled Marie mischievously. “You know me too well,” said Elizabeth as she shook her head and smiled. “Well, you really got to experience a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Hope you enjoyed your trip to San Francisco,” smiled Marie. “I did,” replied Elizabeth. “I most certainly did.”
