Naked in the Rain

Melanie felt like she was going to have a panic attack as she left the entrance to her building and stepped out into the street. She had never dreamed she would do something as outlandish as being naked in public but she had come to accept that there was really no alternative if she ever wanted to get back to wearing clothing and living a normal life again. Anna had made this seem so easy and had come back without any real horror stories but this was Melanie's local neighbourhood and she wasn't quite as trusting of the process as Anna seemed to be.

After taking a moment to compose herself Melanie started walking briskly towards her destination, eager to get this over as quickly as possible. Anna was right that it was quiet out but the streets was by no means deserted. It wasn't long before she was noticed.

"Mummy, why has that lady got no clothes on?" she heard a curious young voice shout from across the street. She turned around to see a small boy pointing at her while his mother looked at her scornfully.

"What are you playing at, you slut!" the woman seethed as she covered her son's eyes.

"It's normal and acceptable for me to be naked" Melanie shouted back nervously.

"Of course, sorry" the woman looked embarrassed at her behaviour all of a sudden and turned back to her son "Some people don't like wearing clothes and that is okay.."

As Melanie continued down the lengthy road she was subjected to much of the same experiences Anna had described - ogling, wolf whistling, looks of disapproval, the occasional shout of "slut" or "whore" but she quickly realised none of them could actually hurt her and quickly desensitised. She didn't even really bother using her defensive phrase unless she really had to. There was also something strangely empowering in how obvious it was that practically every guy that walked past desperately wanted to fuck her but could only look and wish he could do more.

It all seemed to be going surprisingly well when, out of nowhere, there was a crash of thunder above and rain started pouring heavily. There was no defensive phrase Melanie had been given to protect against that and she was quickly soaked. Since she had made it this far and she was much nearer the shop than home there was no point in turning back now. She was going through with this whatever.

Barry looked like all his dreams had come true when Melanie entered his shop stark naked and soaking wet. Better still, from his perspective at least, the cold rain had made her nipples very noticeably stand to attention. He made no secret of his delight at the vision in front of him.

"Bloody Hell Mel! When your naked friend came in here earlier I joked that it would make all my dreams come true if you did the same but I never thought it would actually happen. The wet look suits you too!"

"It is normal and acceptable for me to be naked" Melanie retorted.

"Too right and more power to you!" Barry agreed. Mel had a tendency to forget that phrase only stopped people objecting to her nudity, it didn't stop men from being turned on by it "With a body like yours it would be a crime to cover it up. I'm going to enjoy the CCTV footage later on I'll tell you that. Fuck me, that's never getting wiped."

Mel felt repulsed as she realised he wasn't joking but ignored his crude remarks and picked up some bread and bacon before taking them to the counter.

"No, your money is no good here today after the absolute treat you have given me this morning, Mel. Seriously if you ever find yourself single I'd ditch the wife and marry you in a heartbeat" Barry addressed his remarks mostly to Melanie's tits. She considered paying anyway and telling him where to stick his marriage proposal but instead she smiled sweetly, turned and exited the store with the satisfaction of knowing he could never touch what he wanted so badly.

As she began walking home Melanie felt close to elated. She had done something that would have petrified her forty eight hours ago and was actually feeling about the most confident and proud of her body she could ever remember being. She was starting to figure that perhaps that Naked Ambition philosophy was right and being out naked in public wasn't so bad after all. Until..

"Mel, is that you?"

Melanie's face fell as she recognised a voice from behind her and turned around to see a familiar face she would really rather have not run into while naked and dripping wet.
