PART TWO
Once the 4 of us had got changed for lunch we made our way to the main pool area to find Tim and Anna. At first we couldn't spot them as the pool complex was large and there were lots of different areas and sections to the pool. But then I spotted Tim in the water and called out to him. He waved and pointed round the corner behind some palm trees and said that they had set up camp on a couple of loungers and he would swim back round. Radika and Rishabh said that they would go and find a table for lunch so Connie and I wondered over in the direction Tim had pointed to find Anna.

Anna was lying on her front on a sun lounger and I immediately spotted that her wet bikini top was d****d over the end of the lounger to dry. Connie said hello as we approached and Anna lifted her head up and looked round such that her boobs were largely lifted off the lounger. We sat down on Tim's lounger and chatted to Anna for a minute until Tim reappearred and started to dry himself off. Anna asked him to pass the bag over as she had a dry top with her that she would wear to lunch. Once she had the bag Anna sat up and made no attempt to cover herself. As Connie and I were sat facing her it was a clear decision by her to not be shy and this was confirmed when she carried on chatting to us such that we definitely had to be engaged with her. This was the first time I had had a chance to really see Anna's boobs and I respected the fact that she was willing to go topless despite not having what people might call a classically perfect pair.

Anna's boobs definitley had a sag to them but they were also quite large (deceptively so) and one was bigger than the other. Her areolas were quite big and although her nipples were not pointing down they were also not pert and pointing straight forwards like Connie's did. I noticed that Tim had had his back to us while drying off and was changing out of his wet swimming shorts under the cover of his towel. Now changed he turned back to us and was clearly quite taken aback to see Anna sitting up topless infront of me and Connie. "Do you want a towel" he asked awkwardly as though perhaps Anna had not realised that she was exposed! "No I'm good, just need to pull my top on and then I'm good to go" was Anna's response. With that she then stood up and started to turn her top back from being inside out. I could sense Tim looking around slightly panicked as he worked out how many people could now see Anna! Having stood up some of the sagginess to Anna's boobs disappeared and I realised that her sitting position had not been very flattering. Her boobs were still very different to Connie's (or what I had briefly seen of Radika's) but they were quite big and moved around a lot and had an appeal all of their own. Anna pulled her top over her head and rearranged herself and we were good to go and join the others.

At lunch we decided to go and check out one of the other nearby beaches for the afternoon. We got there and it was very busy so we headed to one end of it where it was a little bit quieter. There was a cool beach bar just near where we made our base and Rishabh and I went to get a couple of jugs of sangira for everyone to share. While we were waiting for the drinks Rishabh brought up the fact that Connie had been topless by the pool earlier and asked how I felt about that. I told him that I was completely cool with it and that it was her decision and her confidence was something I really admired and found quite sexy. I also said that if you stepped back a bit from the initial surprise of getting used to it, it really wasn't that much of a big deal in the grand scheme of things. He was interested in my view but said that he had not been happy when Radika had been topless in front of me and Connie...although he did say that that was mainly because they had not discussed it and he had been somewhat blindsided by her doing that. He also said that it was probably a bigger thing given their heritage and it was just not something he had ever thought she would do. I asked if they had discussed it since earlier and he said not really as it quite quickly descended into an argument.

We took the jugs of sangria back to the others and found only Connie and Radika there as Anna and Tim had gone straight in for a swim. Radika was wearing a much more conservative bikini and Connie was in my favourite one of hers as it was the smallest! Not a thong but definitely not a lot of coverage and the top was string and so showed off a lot of her boobs and accentuated her nipples. I could sense some tension between R & R so suggested to Connie that she joined me for a swim. We made our way to the sea and I told her about my conversation with Rishabh at the bar. Connie said that Radika had told her that they had had an argument and had said "I don't think my exploration of topless sunbathing is going to go any further." We agreed it was a shame for Radika but that it was none of our business. Tim and Anna came over to us and asked what we were talking about. Connie explained and Tim said that he understood where Rishabh was coming from as he was also not that comfortable with the whole topless thing and found it very strange when Anna was topless infront of us earlier.

To my slight surpise it was Anna who pushed him on this. She said she totally understood his view as it was clearly not "normal" to be topless infront of other people but that we were all good friends and there was something about being on holiday and somewhere like Ibiza that made you realise that the usual rules don't always have to apply. Connie said she agreed with that but definitely didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Tim she didn't need to worry as his main unease was with the idea of Anna being topless around us and that any awkwardness he had about other women being topless was not something they should worry about. With that Anna said "right Tim, let's go and get you used to this without the pressure of being around the others" and took his hand and they walked off down the beach together. Connie and I laughed at Anna's way of dealing with things and headed back to lie down in the sun.

R & R were chatting and laughing when we returned which was a relief. We lay down and I noticed that Connie kept her top on which I presume was her way of not making things more awkward or difficult for Radika. I lay down and looked around and noticed that pretty much every woman within 100 metres of us was topless. R & R went for a swim and I asked Connie if she was going to go topless. She said she really wanted to as she hated wearing a wet top but did not want to cause any angst with R & R. I suggested that she just ask them as that would show respect but also make it quite hard for Rishabh to object. She said she would think about it and we decided to go and join them in the water. The 4 of us were stznding around talking in the shallow water when Radika said "literally everyone is topless, it is such a cool environment that it is so normalised." I agreed with her and Rishabh said "yeah, you definitely begin to realise that no one cares".

Connie and I glanced at each other at that comment - maybe he was relaxing a bit. Radika suddenly said "here come Tim and Anna" and we turned around to see them walking hand in hand along the edge of the water about 50m away from us...and Anna was topless! Her big boobs moved around a lot on her tiny frame as she walked and she looked fantastic. As they approached Connie called out to them and Anna waved but then put her top back on as she got to us. "Hi everyone. I have just been educating Tim on the joys and benefits of being topless and he is getting used to it but don't want to push him too far too quickly!" We all laughed and Tim smiled and said that he was getting used to the idea and was accepting the fact that no one paid much attention or cared, especially as there were boobs everywhere you looked!

We sat back down and got stuck into the jugs of sangria. After 30 mins or so Connie said "would anyone mind if I took my top off?" and both girls immediately told her not to be so daft and to do whatever she wanted to do. With that Connie took her top off but remained lying on her back. A while later I noticed that both Anna and Radika where lying on their fronts with their bikinis undone so as to avoind any tanlines across their backs. I said I was going for another swim and Tim and Radika said they would join me. Radika did her bikini up before sitting up and the three of us headed off.

A few minutes later Connie and Anna made their way down to join us in the water and Connie had remained topless. She looked incredible as she walked towards us and I noticed that Tim deliberately turned and looked out to sea...his way of handling his own awkwardness! We hung out for a bit and Connie mentioned that Rishabh was sound alseep. The girls were talking about how many topless women there were and Connie said to Radika that she was surprised at the degree to which tan lines still showed up on her given the complexion of her skin colour. Radika said "yeah my boobs and bum are definitely much lighter than the rest of me" and then pulled her bikini top down to show the colour difference. Her nipple wasn't exposed but a lot of her boob was including the edge of her areola and it was a reminder that she was much more at ease than Rishabh. Throughout this conversation Tim was stnading slightly away from us and looking out to the horizon. Anna told him not to be shy and to come and join us and he reluctantly turned around and came over to us with his eyes darting everywhere other than at Connie. After a minute or two Connie moved over next to him and I heard her say "I'm not embarassed and so you shouldn't be either. You are allowed to look at me, you don't have to pretend I don't exist!" Tim smiled and looked at her and apologised before awkwardly looking away again...small steps!

We made our way back to Rishabh and he was sitting up as we approached. You could see him adjust himself to the reality of Connie being topless and she immediately engaged him in conversation. I got the sense she had decided to take it upon herself to normalise this. While we were still all standing Anna undid her bikini top and took it off stating that she didnt want to get sand stuck to it while she was wet. Tim didn't seem to flinch and then to my surprise said "babe do you want to join me to the bar to get some more sangria?" Anna said yes and they walked up the beach towards the beach bar with Anna still topless. I noticed Rishabh's gaze following her as she walked away from us and I couldn't tell if he was admiring, judging or something inbetween.

We sat down and Connie continued to chat to Rishabh who, to be fair to him, held her gaze and didn't seem to put off by that fact that she was topless. Connie asked me to pass her the suncream and started to apply it to her legs and arms. When she then applied it to her boobs I couldn't take my eyes off her. Watching my beautiful girlfriend rub suncream over her boobs infront of R & R was quite surreal and I noticed that Rishabh rolled over to lie on his front. When Connie was done Radika asked her to pass the suncream and started to apply it. When it came to applying it to her front she pulled her bikini straps off her shoulders and put her hands down the front of her top to ensure full coverage. Radika was, I thought, deliberately casual about how much boob she exposed while doing this and was chatting to me the whole time. She then asked Rishabh to put suncream on her back and when he moved behind her she undid the clasp at the back of her bikini and held the top to her with her hands. Once he was done she pulled the straps back over her shoulders and then let go of the front of her top. As the back clasp had not been done up again yet her top hung loosely and her boobs were visible to anyone at the right angle. I was sat next to her and we were still chatting so I could easily see them. Radika grabbed the suncream and put some more on her hands and then put her hands up to her boobs and rubbed more suncream on them while saying that you can't be too careful. This process revealed her boobs even more openly and I noticed Rishabh watching but trying to pretend he wasn't bothered. Connie, presumably deliberately, drew attention to the situation by saying "Your boobs are amazing Rad, they just need a bit more sun to match the colour of the rest of you!". Radika replied "Thanks babe, I'm fine for now" and did up the clasp at the back of her top.

Tim and Anna returned with more sangria, some snacks and Tim had bought a cheap football from a beach vendor. Anna walked round and poured everyone a sangria from the jugs and was topless the whole time. I admired her confidence as she had to get up close to each person and lean forwards above them to pour them their drink. Her boobs were swinging around right in front of us all and she didn't seem at all shy. Tim also seemed at ease finally as he was chatting away to Radika and Rishabh while all of this was happening.
