Staying Over At A Friend's Place

"Wyd?"

I read the text, it was from Emma, a very close friend. We'd known eachother for a while and we were technically still neighbours, even if I needed to ride my bike to get to hers.

"Not much, hbu?" I texted back, it was accurate, it was at the beginning of the weekend, a couple of days after my adventure with the hoodie. Weekends meant my parents were at home more though...but if I remembered correctly her parents were home less on the weekends.

"Same. Parents on a work trip" Bingo, so I had remembered "Wanna come over?"

Biting my lip, I didn't want to treat this like an opportunity, because I also really liked Emma.

"Sure. Bring anything?"

"Nah, got food and stuff"

Grinning to myself, I hopped out of bed and got dressed, then headed downstairs. It was early enough that Mom was still in the study, working on something on her PC. I politely knocked and poked my head in on an 'enter'.

"What is it Rachel?" Mom asked, pausing her work to turn and warmly smile my way.

"Hey Mom, am I good to stay over at Emma's for the weekend?" I was fairly sure it'd be alright, but there's always that uncertainty.

Mom seemed to think for a moment, likely making sure nothing was planned that had slipped her mind and then just shrugged "I don't see why not, besides it's been a bit since you've actually seen eachother too right?"

Now it was my turn to think for a moment, it had been a good couple of months since we'd seen eachother in person, online is one thing...but it's not the same "Yeah, it has. Don't worry I'll be back before Sunday night"

"It's fine Rachel, really. If you want just come back on the Monday"

With a smile I headed out again, this time grabbing my phone, spare keys and my bike lock, before slipping my shoes on and riding over.

On my bike it was thankfully a short trip, the houses in her area were slightly larger and all had a little more space surrounding them, having proper garden access from the front as opposed to a small alleyway. They were a little older than ours though, with my house being more 70's or 80's, and Emma's being 40's or 50's.

Hopping off my bike and locking it just inside her porch, I knocked the door and waited. After a moment I saw my glasses wearing friend through the clouded glass of the door, her long blonde hair easy to see, when she opened it there was a mess of hugs and hellos, eager to greet eachother beyond a screen, even if her height made hugging slightly awkward.

We left for her room and got comfortable, and got to chatting.

"-and Rose, you remember Rose right? She's dating Paige now" Emma said with a smile, sitting crosslegged on her bed while I took her desk chair.

"I didn't know that Rose was into girls" I chuckled back "I mean, I didn't know Paige was into girls"

"I didn't either, but hey that can be pretty common these days" The blonde said with a shrug.

"Good for them" I replied, straightening myself up "Good for the lesbians, I say" And I do mean it, even if it got us both giggling at the absurdity of the whole thing.

"So" Emma began saying, leaning forward with interest "Been up to anything interesting?"

"I uh, interesting?" I scratch behind my ear, I most certainly have been...but should I keep it private?

"You know, interesting. I mean you haven't headed off to college yet, gotta have free time for stuff, right?"

Her interest was infectious, and the tone she used was soft enough to chip away at my defences...it helped that I knew her a lot too.

"Well it's...okay first I'm- Are you okay if it's weird?" I rub my arm self-consciously.

Emma just nodded "No judgement here babe, say what you want to say, you know me and secrets, I take 'em to my grave"

Taking a breath, I try and relax "So, I've been experimenting with something. Do you know what a uh...exhibitionist is?"

I could see Emma's cheeks flushing red in real time, but credit to her she kept her composure "Yeah, they like being seen naked"

"Or the risk of being seen naked. Yes." I clear my throat, then awkwardly shift in my seat "It started a bit ago, when Mom and Dad went to bed I'd take off my clothes and spend the evening naked"

"Like, fully nude?"

"Mhm. No clothes. I even started leaving them in my room, so if I needed to get dressed I'd need to be sneaky" I stopped myself from continuing, checking Emma's reaction. She seemed to be taking it well, blushing at what I was saying, but she just nodded along for me to continue.

"I uh, I also tried going into the back garden. I gave up on that though. And then a couple of days ago I went out in just a hoodie..."

"Like, into the back garden?" Emma asked, with genuine interest.

"N-no. Like out out, during the day. I um, I walked to a park and...you know that funky mirror thing?"

"Right, right I know that one yeah" She stopped to adjust her glasses "You walked there, basically naked? During the day?"

"Yeah...y-yeah I did. And it looked like I had my skirt underneath because it was long enough you know? And the mirror I uh. I fingered myself there. I...I almost took my hoodie off too but just held it up my...yeah"

"Huh..." Emma's reaction somehow made me blush more too, but also from her body language and tone she was telling the truth, I felt no judgement from her...she was just thinking it over.

"And you...you liked it?" She asked, to which I nodded in reply "Do you like being naked more than wearing clothes? Like a nudist as well?"

"I...hrm." I look away, not flustered by the question at all, but so I can better turn it over in my mind "No, it's not like that. I like it because of the risks, because I might get caught or might get seen. Sure being naked feels nice...but not in that way"

"I understand. No like, really I understand...not the whole- I'm not an exhibitionist too or anything, but I get that it's a sex thing and not a lifestyle thing" Emma smiled, letting out a breath "So...we have a weekend together"

"...I...yeah?" I asked, a little confused at first why that even related to what I just said, then it clicked. Emma wanted to be an accomplice. "Uh huh..."

"Whole weekend, big house that will only have me in it until Monday. Me and you, I mean" She kept leading the topic on "I'm sure we can find something interesting to get up to..."
