Nathan tells Lauren something

Finally back on her feet, Lauren slapped her hands over her chest and crotch.

"Why cover up?" Charlotte laughed. "We've all seen everything!"

Lauren realized this was true, but still had to cling at some form of dignity. She slammed her knees together and hunched over, following the others back to their lane. Her ears burned as everyone laughed and joked about what they'd seen.

They arrived back at the lane and everyone sat. Awkwardly, Lauren once again didn't have a seat and stood amongst them, unable to face away or hide anything. She was standing by Nathan, subconsciously approaching him for approval.

"Hey Lauren, I wish you'd made that strike." Nathan said.

Lauren felt joy. He really cared for her! He wanted her to win!

"Really?" She said, smiling shakily.

"Yeah, then Charlotte would have had to streak." He looked admiringly at Charlotte. "What a sight that would have been!"

Lauren was mortified. Her date was telling her right to her face he wished he could see another woman naked instead of her! She looked down, praying to see heaving breasts, a toned stomach and athletic legs. But no. It was the same tiny chest, round stomach and stubby pale limbs. She was outmatched and she knew it!
