A New Lead

Abagel:

I'm holding you around the waist now as you chase after my lips with every sway of my body. I'm feeling a little light headed from all the attention. I suddenly wrap you in a huge bear hug, holding your exposed skin in a vice grip of pure passion. "I'm glad we've gotten to spend some time Liv...I didn't think I'd ever have something like this. Guess they're right, it just sort of- happens."

ENF-lover10/23/2019

I have some tears in my eyes as you open up like this. It's so touching that you trust me enough already to share this with me. "Me too." I admit. "I'm glad we're ... together. And I'm glad we have this little bit of time to just the two of us." I lean in and kiss you again. Only I'm just a little more gentle this time. Just a little more though.

abagel10/23/2019

Watching how it affects you only convinces me that this is real. Your passion, your kind eyes are real. Your glorious skin beneath my hands, real. Your body, gently writhing into the comfort of my own, all too real. I get lost in you and lose my head for a while as we do what new lovers do.

ENF-lover10/23/2019

After a few minutes I move off of your lap and lean into your side. I take your hand and kiss you on your cheek before resting my head against you. I let out a sigh of comfort as my body presses into yours.

abagel10/23/2019

We sit there for a few minutes. I've taken your hand in mine and I'm idly criss crossing our fingers, playing with your small ones. I stretch out and close my eyes. And then my phone buzzes. I try to ignore it, waiting for you to ask.

ENF-lover10/23/2019

"A-are we ... a couple now?" I ask. I'm the most scared I've ever been in my life. Even more than when I first was naked as I wait for your answer.

abagel10/23/2019

I answer quietly but happily: "If you'd like that as much as I would." I turn to you to look deep into your beautiful big eyes.

ENF-lover10/23/2019

I tear up again. Only this time they openly fall. I'm so happy. "Y-yes. I would!" You smile at me and we lean in for another long passionate kiss.

abagel10/23/2019

We're deep in our kiss when my phone starts buzzing again. I groan while still half attached to you, then put a hand on your shoulder and pick up my phone without looking. "I swear, if it's Joe." I look at my phone, and I actually don't recognize the number at all. "Um...Liv? This anyone you know?"

ENF-lover10/23/2019

I'm very upset that someone chose now to interrupt our moment but once I look t your phone I recognize the number. "Yeah it's Tessa's." You answer and put it on speaker. "Tess, what's going on?"

abagel10/23/2019

The voice that responds is flat, not really annoyed but a little weary. "We're here- um, we've been here. About an hour outside. Heather says you're busy. In fact she-" There's a little rustling and some annoyed whispering. "She won't stop with the details. I'd be jealous if these weren't the strangest of circumstances." I shake myself awake, having almost fallen into a daze out of sheer emotional exhaustion.

ENF-lover10/23/2019

I'm blushing and stumbling over my words. "Uh ... we um ... we w-weren't ... um." Tessa says, "look I get it. Just, are you guys you know? Finished? Because we're coming back up now." She hangs up and were both sitting there.

abagel10/23/2019

I decide some humor is in order. "Well Tessa way to kill the mood." I kiss you on the cheek. "People need to make up their mind, one moment they need us to stop, next moment they're practically asking us to go at it."

ENF-lover10/23/2019

"It's me," I say before burying my face into my hands. "I'm the last one to get a boyfriend. Well, not counting Tessa and Heather. There was always endless teasing about that so I knew once I got one there would be more. In a few months it''ll be nothing more than an occasional comment." I decide to throw in some humor too. i make a big show of looking you up and down. I can't help but grin and say. "Eh ... I guess you're worth it."

abagel10/23/2019

"Oh yeah? I better be. Since you know my little secret." I kiss you and start to get up toward the door, patting myself down and taking a moment to actually put on a shirt.

ENF-lover10/23/2019

I take a moment to fix my hair and make myself looo like I haven't been making out on the couch with you. They'll know, or at least assume, we were but at least this way it doesn't look painfully obvious. I hear a knock at the door and Abby yell. "Hello?! If you two are done in there we'd like to come in now!"

abagel10/23/2019

I sigh and look back at you, as you get yourself adequately covered- well, as best as you can in your new permanent attire. I walk up to the door and unlock it, bracing myself for the avalanche of female friends on the other side.

ENF-lover10/23/2019

"Hey Steve," Tessa says just as the others say. "Hey Stan." Before all three pile on to my furniture. Tessa and Heather sit side my side on my much next to me, with Heather sitting next to me. Abby takes a chair from the kitchen and sits across from us backwards so her arms are resting on the back of the seat. The only available seat for you would be next to me. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, it would mean I would be smashed into you again.

abagel10/23/2019

Honestly, closer to you is where I'd prefer to be. I join the obligatory circle around the couch, sliding in next to you. "So, um....anything turn up?"

ENF-lover10/23/2019

"Well Tess and I went to classes and I went to grab some dinner. Tessa went to the library for research. Heather found us on our way back and was more interested in all the freaky stuff she said was probably going on here." I blush at that. But I do have to admit. Being smashed into you does feel pretty nice. "So to answer your question Stew, no. I didn't find anything because I haven't had time to look. How about you Tessa?"

abagel10/23/2019

I patiently turn to Tessa, deciding not to grill Abby any more about it. She'll throw it back double. "Yeah, Tessa? Did you manage anything? Or I mean...just any ideas would be helpful."

"Well...." Tessa looks around nervously, then pulls her bookbag onto her lap, and unzips it. "I really want to help, Liv. I did a whole bunch of research and honestly....I have more questions than I began with. You might be able to clarify things but...." She flushes a bit. "It's going to be personal, and a little embarrassing I bet." I look at her and nod. "It's embarrassing already. If you know anything that might even begin to help....just tell us what you found." She continues, straightening a set of papers. "Well...here's the thing. Dating back forever ago, nudity isn't really the end result of a curse or a possession or anything like that. It just doesn't happen. I mean, the stakes are usually higher than that. And as far as psychological reasons....there are people known as vestiphobes. They um...they develop a fear of clothing, Liv." She looks down. "I have more."

ENF-lover10/27/2019

As she starts and continues on I take a tighter grip of your hand. I'm getting even more nervous now. "Y-yeah S-Steve and I talked about vestiphobes before. Is that what you think this is? And what do you mean the stakes are higher?" I'm so nervous that I'm talking VERY fast. In fact the last sentence sounded like I never took a break between words.

abagel10/27/2019

I reciprocate, squeezing your hand, but merely nod to Tessa to continue. "Liv, there's just so many options here. We're going to have to go through a process of elimination. But get this: nudity as a magical phenomenon was linked to witches and their rituals that they performed 'skyclad'. But also to social conventions of some societies where a scorned lover or mistress could forego clothing in front of a male to 'curse' him and reveal his lack of fidelity to the public. Some believed it was even magical in a proper way. But you were at the psychic show, right? I'm thinking it's either in your head, Liv. Or the evidence points to the alternative, if it's even possible....being one of three things. A ghost, a demonic presence, or otherwise supernatural phenomena. Either something thankfully less malevolent is playing a prank on you for it's amusement.....the ghost of a nudist or the aforementioned wiccans......or something that's never actually been alive. Think about it- it would have never felt the sensations of being alive in a body. It might get addicted to that. Feeling things, I mean. Maybe it just removed all the obstructions." She takes a long breath, it was a handful. "This is CRAZY!" Abby moans. "Are we really saying it's a ghost? Heather, you really tried to dress her, right?"

ENF-lover10/27/2019

As Tessa continues my breathing becomes more and more heavy. I reach over and grab my water and take a very shakey drink. Th-this is nuts! It's even worse than I imagined! "S-so you're telling me ... that this spirit is NOT malevolent? Tessa it stripped me naked in public! Like ... a lot. How can it not be bad?"

abagel10/27/2019

Tessa looks hurt. "I'm.....I'm not defending it, I'm just saying we need answers. All I'm saying is as far as spirits supposedly go....we got very lucky." Heather giggles. "Very!" I elbow her and she looks at me with that usual smile. I ignore it. "Tessa, is there anything else?" She just looks at me then back at you. "Well, that's why I thought of some questions.....um, Liv. If you don't mind. They're kind of....well, they're about how you are right now." Abby chimes in again. "I mean we could totally talk to someone I know who's kind of a freak about this stuff." Tessa also offers, "My anthropology teacher would know more about cultural customs and supernatural beliefs.....but let's settle this first. Are you ready, Liv?"

ENF-lover10/27/2019

I shoot Heather a look before a press myself against you a little more. "Y-yeah ... I guess so."

abagel10/27/2019

I hold you close without making it too much of a show. I know you need comfort. Tessa probes lightly first. "So, um- question one, I suppose: I know you don't like this Liv but....is there any part of you that's feeling.....better, or supposed to be this way? It's hard to describe.....um. Do you have...an impulse?"

ENF-lover10/27/2019

I'm about to say no ... but then I remember last night. Essentially, I asked you to join me in bed. Even though there was a spark that night, before I got stuck naked and all, asking someone to join me ... there, was definitely not the norm. "Y-yeah ... an impulse ..." I'm trying to avoid needed to elaborate.

abagel10/27/2019

Tessa raises her eyebrows. "Um, sorry Liv...but, of- of what? Confidence? Comfort?" Heather makes a small growl. "Looks like comfort."

ENF-lover10/27/2019

"Uh ... b-both?" I say before blushing even more at Heather's comment. My answer makes Abby raise an eyebrow.

abagel10/27/2019

"Hmm." If Tessa has an opinion she's doing her best to be impartial. Abby however, speaks freely. "Of course. I called it. She's turning into a nudist. I'm best friends with a nudist." Tessa moves on to the next question. I notice you bouncing your bare foot on one leg frantically and nervously. It's really getting to you. "So-" Heather interrupts. "I just realized, it's not affecting any of us, right? Or- um..." she blushes and decides to be quiet. "As I was saying, next part is going to be a little bit of an experiment. Abby? Give her a piece of clothing. And Liv? Tell me everything on your mind the moment it touches you. Try and think through the struggle, ok?" I clench your hand nervously.

ENF-lover10/27/2019

I nod and squeeze your hand back equally as strong. Abby takes off her button up, leaving her in a plain but very nice gray t-shirt. She holds it up and moves it to me like it's a blanket. I try fighting it but once it touches my skin I take hold of it and carefully fold it up before handing it back. Heather is grinning as I say, "I..I just ... ugh! I felt like I didn't need it! Or want it!"

abagel10/27/2019

I can't hide a gasp. This goes deeper than we thought, I guess. You're flushed and biting your lip. The revelation must be a little humiliating. This...whatever is going on has gotten into you more than you knew. Tessa and Abby and Heather exchange a look. The two are quiet. "This is starting to get a little more clear....last question, for now...um, Liv? Have you- have you heard anything? Weird sounds, voices, music? Anything that can't be explained away?""

ENF-lover10/27/2019

"No, nothing." I say. "That's the one thing I'm sure about. Well, second thing anyway." I whisper the last part as I grip your hand a little tighter.

abagel10/27/2019

Everyone in the room, including me, perks up. We can't help but turn toward you. I speak up first. "What- what do you mean Liv? We're all kind of in this together now....tell us, or tell me. It'll be ok."

ENF-lover10/27/2019

I look away from the group. I want to say no that there's nothing, but that's not true. But I have you here. That might be enough to help. "Well ... when it all started. When I was losing clothes ... and last night. I heard ... a woman's voice? At least I think it was a woman. I thought I was imagining it ... you know stress and all? She was saying, You will love this they will love us."

abagel10/27/2019

My jaw drops. Everything I know about life and death is being challenged here. I look around and the rest of you are equally surprised. "Liv...that's huge. I'm sorry, I just..." Tessa trails off. I just turn you around and despite who's there I hug you, all of your naked self in my arms. "Sounds like a ghost to me." That's Heather. "So let's get this straight, my best friend has been possessed by a nudist, one who can't get naked anymore....and she's..." Tessa finishes. "She's going to keep her naked so it can be a nudist again. At least...vicariously, she can feel and watch." Then Tessa shakes her head. "We still don't know much, but I think we've found our best answer. From my totally unprofessional findings. Liv...we're going to need more than this." I whisper in your ear. "Liv, I love you. It'll be ok."

[11:38 PM]

*so she

ENF-lover10/27/2019

I can't help but grin despite what's going on. You said the words. I would kiss you and tell you more if we were alone. For now I lean in and whisper, "I love you too." I pull back with a little more confidence. "S-o what now?"

abagel10/27/2019

"Well" Tessa is kind of taking to the role of leader on this expedition. "I guess those are our three options.....anthropology teacher, um, Abby's friend.....the psychic. Who's who knows where doing whatever."

ENF-lover10/27/2019

"Uh ... I think I would trust your teacher more. No offense Abby ... but me being naked and a weirdo may not mix well. And I don't want to deal with a psychic ... for now at least."

abagel10/27/2019

"Aw Liv, it would break his heart if he knew." Abby sticks her tongue out. It seems Heather's attitude is infectious. "Well, I guess it's settled....not to much I can do until I can meet with him....maybe tomorrow after class? It's just...he might want to see you, too." Tessa goes silent.

ENF-lover10/27/2019

"Any chance I can stay here? Call him on the phone, or Skype? Just you know ... from the neck up?"

abagel10/27/2019

"Hmmm...I'll try, Liv" Tessa gives you a weak smile.

ENF-Lover:

"Th-thanks Tess. I appreciate it." I say giving her a bashful smile. Heather adds, "not as much as I do." Which of course earns her another jab from Tessa.

abagel11/10/2019

Tess smiles, and it looks like some of her discomfort is assuaged since she knows she's helping. Abby, meanwhile, is still in a funny mood about the whole thing. "Well....maybe it would be best if I stay here tonight. You know....just to help." Heather chimes in. "Slumber party with the naked girl!" Abby and Tessa roll their eyes and I can't help but chuckle, then turn serious. "When is your class, again, Tessa? Is there any way we can do this before tomorrow?"

ENF-lover11/10/2019

I squeeze your hand a little tighter since it looks like the girls might be getting ready to leave, until Abby chimes in. "Uh I don't know about that you gu..." before I can finish Tessa starts to answer bout her class.

abagel11/10/2019

"Heather, you're coming with me. No if's, no ands...." she smirks suddenly- "and no *butts!" She guffaws, then suddenly looks sheepish. "Sorry Liv, it's been a long day. And you're um-....anyways, it's a morning class.....I actually have to get up pretty early, that's the thing." I squeeze your hand back. Abby speaks up again. "Then it's settled, the three of us stay here, Tessa can go yell at her girlfriend and get some sleep."

ENF-lover11/10/2019

"Yeah sure ... sleep ... totally," Heather says which earns her yet another jab. I whisper to you, "you think she'd learn." They get up to leave and we all wish them goodbye. Once they do Abby turns to face us with a small confident smirk.

abagel11/10/2019

"You know....I don't think she's the learning type." I sigh and Abby continues to look at us. "What?" I ask plainly. "You wanted to stay for her, but obviously there's something else. Come on, Abby, spit it out?"

ENF-lover11/10/2019

She smiles confidently. "What? A girl can't be here for my best friend?" I roll my eyes and finally muster up the courage to ask. "Okay Abby ... now seriously. What's going on?"

abagel11/10/2019

"Um...how should I say this....I wasn't here last night, and now weird things are happening...." Abby is good at some things, and terrible at others. This is probably her way of showing she cares. "I just think I should stick around so there's no funny business! That's all. Yeah, that's it." I see through it and level with her. "I get it. This is your friend, I'm the new guy, and bizarre shit like this.....it's a lot. Sure, stay the night, if Liv's ok with it." I'm trying to make good. Your friends should be my friends.

ENF-lover11/10/2019

I drop my head just a little. Honestly i was hoping for it to be just the two of us tonight, but Abby does seem worried. And this might just be a good chance for the two of you to get along. I nod and say, "Abby I'm a grown woman. I can take care of and look after myself ... but ... Abby ... and Steve. Both of you can stay." You staying was a given but I want Abby to know that I want you to stay.

abagel11/10/2019

She scrunches up her nose, then lets out a half-hearted chuckle. "I guess we're stuck with you, Stan." This time it's not so mean, though. She says it with....almost reluctant comradery. "So....what's the plan? What have you guys been doing all this time?" She suddenly goes wide eyed and blushes for the first time today. "Wait! Don't tell me!"

ENF-lover11/10/2019

I blush and get equally as flustered. "N-nothing! I uh ... I mean ... we had breakfast and have just been hanging out! That's all!" Well that's not true but she doesn't need to know that!

abagel11/10/2019

"Ok, ok! I don't need any details.....just...ok, so it's a little early for sleep. Um....I actually kind of planned to stay anyways, I've got some sleep clothes in my bag. I'll go in your room, ok?" Suddenly she seems a little more meek. It's probably my presence. I imagine it's usually just the two of you here if she ever spends the night. "Ok, Abby. Get comfortable." I wince as I realize the very comfortably dressed you right next to me.

ENF-lover11/10/2019

"Just not too comfortable," I add. She blushes and very quickly runs off to my room and closes and locks the door. I smile happily. It feels nice to finally fire back instead of just taking it. In a friendly way of course. Once she leaves the room I lean back on the couch and stop covering for a minute. My arms were starting to get kind of tired anyway. "So ... guess it's not just the two of us tonight huh?"

abagel11/10/2019

I look at you, and shrug helplessly. "I guess not. I guess it isn't always going to be. But at least you've got help, right?" Then I grow more serious. "Liv....you said you heard voices? I get that you were freaked out....but how could you forget that? Did you not remember. I'm really asking, I'm not interrogating here. Try to show me what you're going through."

ENF-lover11/10/2019

I suddenly get a lot more serious with your line of questioning. I know that you're doing it because you care a lot but it's still uncomfortable to talk about. "I-it's not that I forgot. At first I just didn't believe it. Since we were at the club I thought that maybe it was the music or someone's voice I heard. It wasn't until much later that I realized that wasn't true, By then I was ... scared. I didn't know what to think or do. I'm sorry. I should have told you."

abagel11/10/2019

I'm still holding your hand, and my other hand reaches up to caress your cheek, playing with your hair with my fingers. "It's ok Liv....all of it- it's all ok. You need to know that. You didn't ask for any of this, but it's....well it's working out better than it could have, just like Tessa said. If I have to help you navigate a little nakedness, that's fine. Ever seen a horror movie? There's a dozen other things that could happen that scare me a little more."

ENF-lover11/10/2019

I gently take hold of the hand you were using to caress my face. "True ... at least there's no maniac with a knife." I joke before getting a bit more serious. "Thanks Steve." I say. "It feels good that you're just here. You know?" I lean in and give you a kiss on the lips.

abagel11/10/2019

I return the kiss, but keep my passion to a smolder. I feel like if I get wrapped up again, we're going to be in an embarrassing (ok, more embarrassing for you) position. Suddenly there's a sigh from the other side of the room, and Abby walks out, dressed now in a long black tee, pink ankle socks, and boy shorts. "I kind of thought you were joking here....they're um....you *don't have any left.....um...wow. I mean, as a girl that's....." she looks up apologetically. "that's scary."

ENF-lover11/10/2019

Once I hear Abby some out I break off our kiss. I'm not embarrassed about being with you, far from it, but I know it will only result in endless teasing for the foreseeable future. "W-welcome to my reality Abby." I say. She gives us a sly knowing look before taking a seat across from us. "So ... what now? Do you guys want to go the the theater?" I blush and start stammering before she laughs and says. "I'm only kidding!"

November 11, 2019

abagel11/11/2019

Abby does say darkly, though. "You know....if this keeps up...you'll have to get out there, and then......the world is gonna change, like. They're gonna need to write laws for you, honey. First legally naked girl......I mean, that's the best outcome. Otherwise....." She stops. "You've probably thought of that. I bet you've thought a lot. I'm sorry." She walks around....."Got any board games?" She offers.

ENF-lover11/11/2019

"Y-yeah Abby but it's not something I want to think about too much. I'm still hoping we can fix this somehow." I say. Then I follow her line of questioning to change the subject to something more comfortable. "Yeah I have some games in the closet. Monopoly, life, uno, and poker cards too."

abagel11/11/2019

"Hmmmm....poker seems appropriate!" There's some of her vigor rushing back into her. "I guess strip poker would be a lost cause, though." I just sigh but it's not entirely annoyed. I'm starting to get used to her presence, as well.

ENF-lover11/11/2019

"I don't know Abby it does seem only fair to me," I joke. "But poker's fine. It would be a good way to pass the time." I move to the closet to get the cards. "Steve? Can you and Abby move the table so we can all play?"

abagel11/11/2019

I hesitate then notice you are obviously trying to cover your body again.....your beautiful, bare, pure- okay Steve...I stand up and I and Abby move the table, careful not to bump you. She quips while we're bringing it over. "I guess you actually can be helpful, huh." But it's her eyes that genuinely seem sorry for earlier.

ENF-lover11/11/2019

As I'm shuffling the cards I playfully roll my eyes. I can tell that Abby is starting to warm up to you. If we are an item now you and I will be spending a lot of time together. I want you and my friends to all get along. "Alright ... whose dealing?"

abagel11/11/2019

"ME!" Abby exclaims excitedly. I throw up my hands and laugh and just let her do it. She deals us out and we start to play, mingling and having decent conversation despite your birthday suited presence. Then she says it. "Um...Liv. So, something came up earlier, we need to talk about it. I figured a game would set a more....easy mood." When you raise an eyebrow, she spits it out. "We've got an interview. Our show. All of us need to be ready tomorrow.....we're going to talk to Harry Mathers from the county Top 40 station."

ENF-lover11/11/2019

"Country Top 40?!" I ask excitedly. "They're interested in picking us up?!" I'm so excited that I momentary forget about mt current predicament. "Oh ... I uh ... I don't know Abby. W-what am I supposed to do? I cant go to a business interview like this!"

abagel11/11/2019

"Yeah....um." That's all I get out before Abby continues. "Liv...it's our shot. They want to interview us tomorrow, but they made a last minute booking. We're not going to their station....but we're not at ours. We're um....." She looks down. "The campus radio station, in the library building.....across campus. It's the only one sponsored by the school."

ENF-lover11/11/2019

"Wait ... they want us to do the interview there?!" I ask bewildered. This isn't happening. "Abby?! H-how am I supposed to get there like this?!" I'm not angry at her but I am worried. We've been waiting for a chance like this for a long time, but there's no way I can do it!

abagel11/11/2019

"We talked them down, Liv. They wanted....they wanted to do a special. Two actually. We were invited to the SM43 station, and then.....basically, if it went well, we were going to be on Laura Stern. Public access, Liv. College promotion. Local tv....." She sighed. "This is actually better, Liv." I put down my cards. "Well, thanks for softening the blow, Abby.....but look at her? How are we supposed to get her across a crowded, active campus in the middle of the day?"

ENF-lover11/11/2019

"I don't know," she says. "But Steve this is our chance. In the years we've done our show we've never had anyone interested in picking us up. As for getting her there ... hmmm. I'm not sure ..."

abagel11/11/2019

I look at you, and you're quiet. I cutely lean over and look into your eyes. "Well, crazy girl, who by the way has kind of changed my life in the last 48 hours.....what's your call?"

ENF-lover11/11/2019

"W-well ... it might be the only chance the girls and I have ... but I don't know ... how can I get there unseen? Is it even possible?"

abagel11/11/2019

Abby looks down. Then up. "Lunch time. I mean....roughly 1pm.....not a lot of classes are going on midday....the dining hall will be packed, or most students will be studying....please Liv."

ENF-lover11/11/2019

"Okay," I whisper. "B-but I want y-you ll with me. M-maybe together I won't be seen?" I say hoping it will work even though it's like a one in a million shot.
