Sadie had
this idea, to write about a funny event that we had, to be published on 1st April or in April, to allow more bloggers to participate, under the title ‘Laughter’.
So, a few years
ago, we went to the Baltic sea. It was a hot day, all we wanted, was to laze about
and go swimming. I even had brought my new swimsuit. I had not worn it before,
only tried it in the shop. It was white and I had only bought it because we had
been in the sun so often that I had a nice tan and thought this would go well
with a white swimsuit. Well, hubby said I looked great and I loved it, too. Ok,
all things packed for lazy time. The beach was already pretty crowded when we
arrived, but we found a nice spot in the sand. First, we tried the water but
did not go into it. All was fine, and the hot weather was just right to get
more of a tan and then, afterwards, I’d go swimming in the cool water. Hubby
had been in once while I was still roasting.
The second time, maybe an hour
later, he would not accept a ‘no’ from my side. Lazy day or not, he wanted me
in the water. So, we went into the water. After heating up it was a shock at
first, but it felt great. We swam for quite some time, I think.
We even caressed out in the deep water, and actually hubby could have seen the
state of my swimsuit. He didn’t, maybe it was that it did not matter in the
water. Finally I said that I’d go out again. Hubby is a sports-monster, hence two
times in the water was not enough for him and he wanted to swim a bit more. But
I went back to the beach and slowly, relaxed I went out. I really took my time,
because with each step the hot sun warmed my skin and that felt great after being in the cool water.
I turned
around to see where hubby was and I could see him far out in the water. I stood
there, right at the water’s edge. Then I turned around to go to our little spot
where we had a blanket, bath sheets and dry clothes. I thought that there were
a few people looking at me, but I didn’t really bother, because I felt cool,
white swimsuit and tanned skin is something I really like, so I felt really
good…. until I looked down my chest. I had expected that you could maybe see a
little shade of my nipples. I had not wanted that, but you could never know.
Well, I absolutely had had no idea. My swimsuit was almost invisible because it
was wet. So, I stood there, only dressed with an almost completely see-through
swimsuit and our bath sheets were still a little walk away from where I was.
People were watching. Some were ignoring
me, which I was grateful for. Some were almost excited. After all you could see
everything there was to see. Since I had come out of the cool water, my nips
were erect too, of course. And when you feel self-conscious about them, nips do never appear small, no, they poke through everything and are huge. If only that had been a nudist beach. I would have
felt better there.
I mean, I don’t
mind walking around naked, at home. At the beach I’d maybe take off my top, to
get a tan without the silly white strips. But I’d do that preferably with one
of my friends, because she’d do the same and then it is not really
embarrassing. But I wasn’t prepared for wearing an invisible swimsuit among the
crowd, for everyone to enjoy.
So, I tried
to walk straight line to our little place, as if nothing extraordinary was
going on. There were several men whose eyes almost fell out, as if they’d never
seen a woman in a transparent swimsuit. Hmmm, coming to think of it, they
probably really never had. Anyway, preserving some dignity was what I wanted to,
so I went along the beach as if I’d always walk virtually naked along beaches. A
short moment later I was back, took a bath sheet and my sunglasses. Bath sheet
first, ok, all covered. Sun glasses next. Ok, nobody would see my
embarrassment. Apart from the red glow all over my face and ears, that is.
I did not go swimming again that day!
