Kalico 2: Hypnotized & Naked in Hope Springs

Kalico: My First Six Naked Kisses

Kalico: with Wallflower, David Thursday morning on Johnson road, both girls still naked

The Bargain: Naked Kissing for David, A dress for Wallflower, Stressful Blushes for me

There was no other way for it. One of us had to walk over to David and retrieve our clothing. That someone had to be me. I would be mortally embarrassed, of course, but it could be worse. If David sees Wallflower naked, I could lose my potential boyfriend.

"You're not going to do it, are you?" Wallflower asked.

We were both still naked, crouching in the shadows while we worked out what to do about the guy who had climbed down from the tractor and was refusing to leave.

More to the point, the tall grass was still tickling my bottom, giving me a continuous reminder of just how bare butt naked we were. The tickling gave an added urgency to find a solution to our problem rather quickly.

"Keep yourself low behind the grass, and out of sight," I told Wallflower as I began to step from our hiding place in the tall grass. "Be ready, I will toss your dress to you as quickly as I can."

"You don't have to do it, we might find some other way," Flower repeated. I had promised to kiss the guy six times, while I was still naked. In return for this favor, he promised to leave us.

"Hush!" I whispered. "It should be all right, I think we can trust David." At least we are going to find out right now if we can trust him, I added to myself, mentally, as I began creeping out of the shadows.

I remained crouched low for my first few steps, as if delaying my exposure even a few seconds would make any difference in the coming embarrassment.

"Kalico, wait! Really, there must be some other way!" Flower hissed a little louder to me.

"Hush," I shushed her again. "Let me do this while I still have the nerve. I've made up my mind. This will solve our problem. We can trust David. You just be ready when I toss your dress to you."

The intensity of the moment increased dramatically as I stepped out of the shadows toward David. I attributed the sensation to adrenalin overload brought on by extreme embarrassment, or perhaps, rather, anticipation of even worse embarrassment when David would finally see me. Still, each step, each inch of each step, was more difficult than the previous inch or step.

It didn't help much to tell myself it's just the adrenalin demanding fight or flight. Eighty-five percent of my cortex was saying "Kalico, you are totally stark naked and about to show your scrawny self to this guy you only met two and a half days ago. Stop what you are doing and run away from here! Fast! Right now! Run!"

Five percent of me was saying "there's an outside chance he may be worth it. He said he wants to marry me when we finish school. At least that is what I think he said."

Another five percent of me was saying "feel the intensity of this. Adrenalin! That's what causes this? Oh, wow! I feel saturated with intensity. No carnival ride ever matched this. Ahh! In the right circumstances this could even be a most miserable kind of fun."

That left the spare change of about five percent of my mental capacity to actually decide what to do next. I am not the most brilliant cookie in the block, but I was sure, somewhere inside me, that the decisions I was making, step by step, had a faulty premise. However, I had made a bargain with David, and this moment was the crucial point, a character test for both of us.

Somehow, in the intensity and embarrassment of the moment, I am going to find out if David is just some teenage twerp who spouts all sorts of macho stuff, or is his mojo for real? Is he actually the young man of fine character he claims to be?
