Chapter Two

Elizabeth by now was fully enjoying her exhibitionist adventures, but she really wished she had someone to share it with. She thought about telling her friend Sarah, but how would Sarah react? Certainly she would think Elizabeth had gone quite mad! Or would Sarah confide that she felt the same way? Elizabeth wanted to find out, but she was afraid of what Sarah's reaction would be. She did not want to lose one of her most trusted friends.

A week later, Elizabeth and Sarah arranged to have a sleepover at Sarah's place. Elizabeth resolved to tell her friend Sarah about her naked secret. If she was a true friend, surely she would understand, and perhaps even by intrigued enough to try it herself?

After a night of watching movies, IMing friends and listening to music, Elizabeth and Sarah got ready for bed. They both curled up in their sleeping bags in the basement and talk soon turned to boys.

"You totally like Jimmy Matheson! I see the way you act around him," teased Elizabeth.

"No I don't. He smells bad, plus I don't like blonde guys," replied Sarah indignantly.

"Then who do you like? You can tell me! I promise I won't tell. I'll tell you who I like."

"I already know who you like!" exclaimed Sarah. It was true, Elizabeth was pretty blatant in her crush on Mark Walters. If only he knew who she was!

"I'll tell you, but you have to tell me another secret. Something no one else knows!" Sarah had given Elizabeth the opportunity she needed to spill the beans on her new hobby.

"It's a deal." answered Elizabeth.

Sarah proceeded to tell Elizabeth on her crush, Will Vega, the cool kid at school. Meanwhile, Elizabeth was growing nervous about how Sarah would react to her little secret.

"Okay, your turn. What secret do you have that no one else knows about?"

"Um, I, um...." Elizabeth began to stammer. She didn't want to risk her friendship. Her secret would have to remain her own secret.

"I, um, I've never kissed a boy." stammered Elizabeth.

"Silly, I already knew that. You would have told me if you had. C'mon, tell me a real secret. There has to be something I don't know about you."

Pressed to reveal a secret, Elizabeth decided to trust her best friend's confidence and reveal her naked ambitions. She was just dying to tell someone and she trusted Sarah would accept her nonetheless.

"Well, okay. But don't be weirded out. Sometimes when my parents are gone, I go skinny dipping in the pool."

"Oh. Well that's cool I guess."

"Wait, there's more." Elizabeth took in a deep breath, ready to get off her chest what she had wanting to share with someone for months. "Also, I go to that field near our houses and take off all my clothes. I walk around naked at night and once I even streaked down the street. I really enjoy being naked. Especially outdoors."

Elizabeth felt like a ton of bricks had been taken off her back. It had felt good to share that with someone.

"What? That's gross Lizzie! You could get assaulted! Or someone could catch you! That's perverted! I can't believe you do that!"

It felt as if her best friend had just punched her in the gut. Elizabeth was devastated that Sarah wasn't more understanding about her nude inclinations.

"Well, just don't do it around my house, okay? My parents would flip if they saw you running by naked, and then we couldn't be friends anymore. Maybe we should go to bed now, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Okay," replied a despondent Elizabeth as she curled up in her sleeping bag. Sarah turned out the lights and dozed off to sleep.

Elizabeth could not fall asleep so easily. She was really upset about Sarah's reaction. She tossed and turned for an hour, worried that she had ruined one of her only true friendships. She decided to get a drink of water to calm herself down and went upstairs to the kitchen.

Sarah's house was quiet in the middle of the night as Elizabeth stood in the kitchen. The water did calm her nerves. Only that allowed other thoughts to come into her head, namely, what would it be like to be naked in another person's house?

Elizabeth dismissed the idea as entirely too foolish. It would be extremely risky to get naked in Sarah's house, especially after Sarah's reaction. Plus Sarah's parents could walk in at any moment. It was too great a risk. Still, the idea gnawed away at Elizabeth until she could no longer resist the urge - she had to see what it would be like to be naked in Sarah's house.

She went to the living room and slipped off her pajama bottoms. So far, so good, it still looked like she was just wearing a big t-shirt. That nervous feeling in her stomach resurfaced and her skin again felt hot. She slipped off her panties and immediately she felt wet. Maybe she could just keep the t-shirt on? After all, it was almost naked, but if she was caught, she still looked dressed.

"No, it wouldn't be the same," she thought. She had to see what it would feel like to be naked. So she flung off the t-shirt and stood in Sarah's living room, naked, in the middle of the night.

Wow. The butterflies were going wild in her stomach! Her mind was racing and her skin was afire! If Sarah's dad walked in right now, he would quite the eyeful! She wandered around the living room, looking at pictures of Sarah's family. She came across a picture of her and Sarah, at camp a few years ago. She wondered if they would ever have experiences together like that again.

"Um, what are you doing?"

Elizabeth, stunned, swung around to see Sarah's older brother Jack standing in the living room. She was caught! Elizabeth was terrified and almost felt like crying, yet at the same time, she felt a warm sensation between her legs.

"I uh, um, I'm really sorry. I know this looks weird. I just was hot and wanted to see what it was like to be naked. In your house. I know that sounds weird."

"Yea, a little bit." Jack's eyes were very clearly scanning her body. Elizabeth had an athletic build, and had developed well. She was surely no longer the stick figure running around with Sarah that Jack had remembered.

"But hey, its cool. But you should probably get dressed."

"Yea. Yea, I will."

"Cool."

"Could you do me a favor? Promise you won't tell anyone? Especially Sarah."

"Sure. Don't worry, it will be our little secret," said Jack as he winked and smiled. Elizabeth had never noticed it before, but Jack had a really nice smile. She had long seen him as "Sarah's brother", but it was becoming clear to her that was a pretty cute guy. And he was seeing her naked! And he seemed to enjoy it! Elizabeth felt herself getting very wet.

Jack finally pried his eyes away from Elizabeth's naked body and turned to his bedroom. Elizabeth quickly dressed and headed to the bathroom to satisfy her aching desires. She rubbed herself vigorously as she replayed the thought of Jack inspecting every inch of her naked body over and over again.

When she was done, Elizabeth went back down to bed. She was content, no longer worried about Sarah. And she quickly fell asleep, dreaming about Sarah's cute older brother.

When she awoke, Sarah was already up watching television.

"Morning sleepy head," said Sarah.

"Hey."

"Listen, I'm sorry I was hard on you last night about the naked thing. I was just a bit weirded out about it. But I'm sure I do weird things too. Everyone does. You're still my best friend."

Those words lifted Elizabeth's heart. She should have known she could trust her friend Sarah.

"Just don't get naked around me, okay? I don't think I'm ready for that."

"Its a deal."

"Cool. So did you see what Britney did last night???"
