Before the next show

"Protest is our riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight."

Jake finished the song and looked at the rest of the band. TK, calm as usual, was messing around with his bass. Zoe was looking for her towel, the drops of sweat across her forehead, nipples and abs. After the last concert she started practicing topless, saying she had nothing they didn't see already.

"So about the next concert", Jake started. "Are you going to play topless, since you're practicing topless? I haven't seen you in a shirt since the concert."

Zoe's eyes widened, her heart pounding against her chest. "I hadn't thought about it," she admitted. "But it might be fun. I'm not sure if the bar owner agrees to that so maybe I start in a sport bra and strip when I start to feel uncomfortable."

"Actually, he is more than fine with this. The hype from our last show carried to other concerts so the bar is really crowded most of the times. If we play our cards right next concert, we can play there more often and actually expand to other places as well."

"That would be awesome," Zoe said. "I'd love to play more often."

"Good," Jake said carefully. "Because I have an idea."

"What's that?"

"I want you to strip during the concert," Jake started. "If the crowd is hyped enough, that is I think it would be a great way to get the crowd involved, to really get them excited. It's all on you, how much clothing you will have at start and how far are you willing to go."

Zoe goes silent for a second. Then, she stands up, taking off her shorts and panties in one swift move. TK and Jake look at thin brown landing stripe that barely covers Zoe's lips. And when she opens her legs to play, there's nothing hidden.

"I'll do it. But I need some practice so I would not get nervous on stage. Plus," she added looking at her two band members "It looks like you need to get used to me as well" she said, laughing.

Jake and TK couldn't help but smile at her playful teasing. They knew that Zoe was right; they needed to get used to seeing her naked body.
