Nakedly Ever After Ch. 09

"The day is nice." Elaine said, as the two sat on the Picnic Blanket on the park.

"It is." Sophie could tell her mom was building up to something, and that she needed her time. She has spoken a few disconnected sentences since they arrived, interjected with long pensative pauses, anxious words almost spoken, but given up on the last second, and a lot of fidgeting. Her mom was amazing, but she could be lost on a world of her own opinions, and it was a struggle to have her world view challenged by the sight of her own daughter walking around with nothing on her body but her confidence.

"Thanks. For agreeing to this."

"Of course. You are my mom. I'm glad to be out with you."

"I just didn't know if you'd agree to come."

"Is that why you chose this place?" Sophie pointed around. Although there was nothing like a naturist park on her entire state, this one, small, somewhat enclosed by the border vegetation, and a little far off, had been unofficially adopted by the naturists who wanted to stroll around naked without wanting to deal with textiles' criticism.

Not that in your regular day you won't see a naked person on the other parks. They aren't uncommon, if you decide to go for a walk on any day, you are likely to see at least one. When Sophie doesn't see any, she remembers she is the one. But here it was closer to common place. About half the people are enjoying the day on their natural state, and the other half doesn't seem to bother.

"Well, kind of. It wasn't for you to feel comfortable. It was for me."

"You feel more comfortable with my nudity when there are other people around?"

"No, that's not it."

"I'm not offended if it is. It makes sense."

"No, peaches." The next words build up a pressure on her like a boiler with no scape valve.

"What is it, mom?"

"I... I wanted to try it."

"Being naked?"

"Yeah."

"Mom, if it's for me..."

"It's not for you." She interrupted. "It's for me. I want to understand you. And being here I will feel less... judged."

"We could have gone to a nude beach. Everyone is naked there and no one will care about you."

"Here I can get dressed again if it's too much." She waited pensively. "Besides, I know it's not the same. When everyone is also naked. Here it's still not the norm, and people look at you differently."

"Well, not here, here. This park is pretty chill about it. But I get where you are going."

"Thanks. For understanding."

"Sure."

The two sat there, in silence. Sophie thought about what her mom was gonna go through. She at least had done it on a nude beach, where people are more accepting. She was gonna do it here. It was very brave, and it could serve as statement of her mother's love.

"Are you thinking about doing it now?" Sophie asked.

Elaine's eyes widened and she jerked to look at Sophie. Then her expression softened. "Might as well."

She slowly lifted her shirt over her head, removing it and tossing to the side. Beneath it was a black lace bra. Still sitting, she removed her shorts, revealing a black lace panty matching the bra.

"Did you dress up for it?" Sophie asked, jokingly.

Elaine was embarrassed, but laughed along. "I thought I might as well.

"You are looking stunning."

She really was. Even with the age, and not keeping score of her pounds, Elaine had a beautiful body. She was curvy, and her weight seemed to be mostly on her bottom side. Sophie knew where she got the ass she was now learning to appreciate.

She quickly removed her bra. Sophie thought she would linger a little, but Elaine seemed to have picked a pace. She just wanted it to be done already. Her breasts, who had always been quite large, fell from the bra. Even with the signs of age, it retained some of the shape from her youth.

And with the next movement, she lifted her legs and removed her panty. She was now naked.

"How do you fell?"

"Nervous. But it's not that bad. It feels like I'm not nervous because of my nudity, I feel normal like this. It is actually quite comfortable."

"It is, isn't it? You feel nervous of what other people might think."

"I guess that's it." She looked around. There where people as old as her on the buff around them. Some even much older. "But I guess people won't mind here."

"I don't think they do. But even if they did, fuck them."

"Sophie! Watch your language."

"But I'm not wrong."

"Yeah, you are right." She straightened her back and perked her breasts. "Fuck them."

And the two laughed of her mom's punk transgression.

"Wanna go for a walk?"

"Sure." She wasn't really sure, but might as well do it.

They packed the picnic blanket, her mom a nervous wreck now that she was standing up in view of everyone.

"You can relax. No one is looking."

And no one really was. Apart from a glance now and then, the seemed to be part of the normal visage in there. And they kinda were.

The two walked side by side through the grass. Sophie carried her flipflops on her hand, she found more comfortable to be barefoot on the grass. Her mom was wearing her sandals. And nothing more. The image felt impossible for Sophie. Her mom, a usually very uptight woman, strolling on the park with nothing but footwear.

She wasn't comfortably doing so, though. Her insecurity was visible to anyone looking at her. But the sun was good on their skin, the breeze was fresh, and it was overall a perfect day for such an activity. They eventually reached the concrete path, and Sophie adorned her flipflops.

"Nice ass, ladies." A guy jogging by passing from behind said. She was used to these kinds of stupidity, but she feared her mom wouldn't be able to handle it. For her surprise, Elaine was blushing.

"Well, thank you." She said, with a girly smile. Sophie had never seen her smile like that.

"Mom, what the hell?!"

"What?"

"You are not supposed thank this kind of things. It's gross."

"Maybe it's gross for you, with your young body. But I'll accept any kind of compliment I can get with a smile on my face."

"Mom..."

"What? Should I be hiding my body, now? Should I be angry that people like it?"

"No, I guess not." She won that argument. She always did. Good to see her back on her usual.

It was a weird walk. The more compliments Elaine got, varying wildly in respectability, the more she was standing proud of herself. This isn't how Sophie thought it would go, but at least it was going great for her.

They stopped for ice cream at a vendor. Sophie picked chocolate, of course. It was her favorite. Elaine picked mint chocolate chip. How could she even enjoy that?

"These ones are on the house." He said, refusing Elaine's cash. He was a little bit older than Sophie.

"Why is that?" She asked, with a mischievous smile. What the hell?

"The view is all the payment I need." Sophie wanted to bury herself alive.

Her mom giggled and twirled side to side like a little girl.

"Thank you!" Sophie forced a smile, wanting to run away as fast as possible.

"Thank you, ma'am." He said, looking at Elaine. The two waled away from the cart. For Sophies' surprise, her mom's hips where swain way more than normal. The vendor was watching it with clear fascination. Both of them.

"I think I wanna go home now." Sophie said. "I got laundry to do."

"Laundry?" Elaine asked. Stupid excuse.

"Yeah... socks and stuff."

"Okay. I should be heading home as well." She looked around at her tote as she grew more and more desperate. "Oh my god."

"What, mom? Did you lose your keys?"

"Oh my god, Sophie." She got more and more desperate. She turned her bad on the floor, spilling all its contents. House keys, wallet, sunscreen, the picnic blanket. Everything seemed to be there.

"What is it, mom?"

"My clothes, Sophie!"

Oh, of course. Sophie had even forgot about those by now. As it had became usual, Sophie wasn't carrying a big bag. She had no need to. Only a small side bag to fit her phone, wallet and other stuff. Which means she couldn't be carrying her clothes either.

"They must be where we were sitting early on." As soon as she said that her mom darted back the way they came, ice cream melting on her hand. Sophie ran to catch up, and continued eating hers as they walked in a fast pace.

The clothes were not there. Someone must have taken it. Maybe the wind blew them. Maybe animals. Maybe trash collectors.

"Oh my god, Sophie."

"Mom, it's ok. You'll be fine."

"I can't go home like this! People will see me!"

"It's ok, mom. I'll take you home. I got my car here."

"Ok. Yeah, ok." She was panting, but it was slowing down. "I can do it. It's no worry."

"Great. There is just one thing."

"What is it?"

"I had to park it three blocks away."

"You are kidding me!"

"Parking here is terrible."

Elaine's knees faltered. Sophie held her arms to help support her.

"Mom, listen. It won't be that different from what you are doing right now. And this neighborhood is used to it. You won't even stand out."

"All right. Let's get it done." She was shaking, she held her arms in front of her and looked left and right.

"Besides, it's not like people won't enjoy seeing you, from the comments you got." Sophie hated saying this, but she knew her mom would appreciate the ego boost. And though small, Sophie noticed it.

The way to the park entrance wasn't challenging. Most people they encountered were as naked as them and even the textiles weren't that far from it, most of them on swim trunks or bikinis, with the women sometimes missing one of the halves.

To Elaine's surprise, when they got to the entrance some of the people leaving didn't bother to get dressed. It made perfect sense. There were no need to when they were going home.

As they walked further and further from the park, her nerves got the best of her, and she got scared again. That is, until Sophie pointed to one of the houses. There was a family barbecuing on the front yard, and none of them were wearing any clothes. She started to look around and notice. Even though the dressed people outnumbered the nudists, there were still some around, and no one really seemed to bat an eye. There was a young woman on a bike with some groceries on her basket, an older guy washing his car, a yard sale with a naked host. All of them comfortable in their own body.

"This is quite the neighborhood." Elaine said.

"Yeah, I wish I could live here. But the prices are absurd."

"Maybe with that new job of yours."

"Maybe, but I'm not getting any raise yet. At least until the project gets going."

"This isn't that bad." She sounded pensative. "I might enjoy moving here as well. It's quiet."

"Is that the only reason?"

"It's also very safe."

"Right."

They got to the car and Elaine immediately let out a breath when she got inside. Sophie kept the conversation going on the way to their neighborhood, to distract her mom.

"You can leave me at your house." Elaine said.

"Are you sure?" She tried to mask the worry on her voice.

"Yeah, this isn't that bad. And I want to understand it. Understand you."

"This is a little extreme."

"As extreme as what you are doing?"

"I guess not..."

"Then I'll be fine."

She parked her car in front of her garage and they left. They shared a hug before departing.

"Mom" Sophie struggled with the words as she was trying to grasp the meaning of the moment. "I love you."

"I love you too, Peach. Now go!"

Sophie got inside, taking a last look at her brave, compassionate, very naked mom as she walked down the sidewalk.

Elaine could not believe was she was doing right now. It wasn't that far, only a couple blocks, but she was gonna be seen by any of her neighbors that she has known for decades.

But it was for a good cause. She loved her daughter. And anyone who saw her right now would know that.

She repeated that to herself, but it was only half of the truth. There was something more. As she walked, her skin undisturbed, the sun and breeze hitting parts of her body that never felt it before, her body exposed to the looks of passersby, something happened. Her breath grew laborious, her face turned red, her legs trembled here and there. Was she that nervous?

No, it wasn't nervousness. And she realized that once she noticed her hands making their way between her legs by themselves. She pulled them out, immediately. What was she doing? Was she enjoying this? She does have her wild past, from before Sophie, but no matter how wild she got, she never imagined something like this would get her up.

She started walking faster and faster, passing by people without batting another look. She just wanted to get home and... do something. She needed it. Her breasts where bouncing with each step, her ass jiggled with every sway, and she was deeply aware of it. She was completely embarrassed, but also really exasperated, euphoric, desperate.

Elaine was really, really horny.

"Elaine?" A voice from someone she just passed by called to her.

She looked back and saw Bruce, her husband, on his jogging fit. Her first instinct was to cover herself, then to part her arms. There was nothing here he hasn't seen, and it was silly to cover for him when she didn't cover for anyone else before.

"Hey, honey."

"What are you doing?" He wore a worried expression.

"I was with Sophie..."

"Oh!" He interrupted her. "No need to explain."

"We should go home."

"Are you all right?"

"I really need to get home!" She said, sounding more and more exasperated.

"Do you need something to cover..." Elaine interrupted him with a long, passionate kiss, with her hands grasping his groin and immediately releasing it.

"I really need to get home."

He recognized the look on her face. He hasn't seen it in ages. And he knew exactly what it meant.

"Let's hurry, then."
