Rivals and Farewells

I guess I told you that last spring my boyfriend
Ryosuke and his friends Futoshi and Kenta all
graduated from university.  Ryosuke agreed to stay
here with me in Oceanview for one more year till I
graduate, but Futoshi and Kenta decided to head off to
Los Angeles to look for work.  They'd been very good
friends to us, so I was sorry to see them go, but
actually, their senior year, I didn't see them quite
as much as I had before.  I guess part of it was my
fault too.  I missed the first few weeks of school,
because I was away in Japan for my cousin's wedding
and stuff, and then I was rushing around trying to
catch up on all my schoolwork.

After I got back, I noticed that my best friend Satomi
was moping around a lot, and then she finally told me
that she hadn't seen Futoshi or Kenta because they
were hanging around with these two other girls, Masayo
and Mieko, seniors at our college.  The way she said
it too, she sounded so sad.  As I've been telling you,
I'm pretty sure Satomi has a crush on Futoshi, and I'd
been trying to get the two of them together for the
longest time.  Then just when I thought things were
starting to go well between them, he starts hanging
around with these other girls.  I'd seen Masayo and
Mieko around at school, but I didn't really know them
that well, but then all of a sudden, it was like they
were always with Futoshi.

This Masayo/Mieko thing kind of got me a bit worried
too, because every once in a while, I'd give Ryosuke a
call, and he'd be out.  He tried to make out like he
was helping out Futoshi and Kenta because he said,
"they're not really good with girls."  This sounded to
me a bit like an excuse.  Maybe they haven't had
girlfriends, but they're 23 for heaven's sake. 
Anyway, I guess I trust Ryosuke basically, but I
didn't like him going out with these other girls all
the time.  Still, Satomi seemed a whole lot more upset
than I was.

Anyway, the winter went by, and Ryosuke and I kept
going out more or less as usual whenever we both had
time.  Spring came, and the weather was getting nicer
again.  Ryosuke told me that they wanted Satomi and me
to meet Masayo and Mieko, and go for another barbecue
or something.  I didn't really want to go, but at
least it would give us a chance to see how far things
had gotten between Futoshi and these other girls, and
figure out if Satomi would have to give up on him or
not.

That day, Ryosuke and Futoshi showed up at my house
around five o'clock to pick me up.  I wasn't ready
yet, but I didn't want them bothering my host mom
Loretta, so I got them to come up to my room while I
had a shower.  Before long though, there came a knock
at the bathroom door.

"What is it?  I'm not done yet."

"Emi, can I talk to you about tonight?"  It was
Ryosuke.  He opened the door, and came right in while
I was still showering.

"Kyaa!" I squealed softly, pretending to be
embarrassed.  I pulled the shower curtain closed, but
Ryosuke just pulled it open again.

"I want to ask you a favor."

"What?" I asked, peering over at the door nervously,
wondering where Futoshi was.

"Tonight could you not say too much to Masayo and
Mieko about Futoshi and Kenta and stuff?"

"What do you mean?"  I took some liquid soap from the
pump, and lathered up my body.  I felt kind of
embarrassed doing this while he was watching, but I
had to hurry up, and get ready so we could go.

"I don't know," Ryosuke went on.  "I just don't want
them to get the wrong idea.  Do you know what I mean?"

Soon I saw Futoshi appear at the door too, standing
right there looking over at me standing there naked my
body covered in bubbly lather.  I pretended not to see
him, but all of a sudden he started talking.

"We really don't know them that well, and they seem
kind of more conservative than you, so they might be a
bit surprised if you told them about some of the stuff
we've done."

I glanced back at him, and then tried to pull the
shower curtain shut, but Ryosuke wouldn't let go, so I
finally turned my back to them.  This wasn't the first
time Futoshi had seen me naked, but even so, it was
still pretty embarrassing.  I was a bit upset at
Ryosuke, but I have to admit I was getting a little
excited too.

"Like you guys spying on me right now," I teased.  I
bent over, got some shampoo, and rubbed it into my
hair.  I glanced back at them.  Ryosuke was just
standing there with this goofy grin quite pleased with
himself for forcing me to expose myself this way. 
Futoshi was shifting uneasily, clearly getting aroused
looking at me.

"We're not spying, but yeah that kind of stuff,"
Futoshi said, finally turning away.  He's always
seemed a bit uncomfortable about seeing me nude.  I
often wonder if he secretly has a crush on me.

"Or the time Futoshi had to streak through Kenta's
quad," I giggled remembering how embarrassed he
looked.  I spread my legs, and rubbed some shampoo
between them, leaning forward slightly to give them a
better look at my bare behind.  I was trying not to
let on how excited I was getting, but I guess it must
have been obvious.  They just stood there dumbstruck
for a moment at my daring, but then Ryosuke asked,

"Anyway, don't tell them any of that kind of stuff."

I reached up, and shut off the shower, almost losing
my balance.

"Can you pass me my towel?"

Ryosuke handed it to me, and I held it in front of me,
turning to face them, and drying off my face.  Futoshi
was pretty obviously eyeing my body, but trying not to
be too obvious about it.  I quickly dried off turning
away again to keep from showing them my pussy.

"Can you pass me my panties too?"

Ryosuke handed me my t-shirt, but I couldn't see my
panties.

"What did you guys do with them?" I asked, suspecting
Ryosuke had hidden them somewhere.  He swore he hadn't
touched them, so I finally turned my back to them, and
pulled on my t-shirt.  It didn't go far enough down to
cover my backside.  I felt really embarrassed, but I
was getting all excited too.  I finally wrapped the
towel around my waist, and got out of the shower, but
Ryosuke pulled off my towel as I walked past him.  I
fought him for it, but he wouldn't give it back.  I
was getting a bit worried that Loretta or Brandon, her
son, might come up and find me gallivanting around in
my bare scuddy.  I dashed across to my room, but
Ryosuke and Futoshi followed me in, clearly enjoying
seeing me naked like this.

I finally got a pair of panties out of my drawer, and
pulled them on.  My face must have been bright red by
then.  I always blush when I get embarrassed like
that.  Ryosuke says it looks cute, but I sometimes
wish he'd be a bit more gentlemanly.  I don't mind
being naked when it's just him, but showing me off to
Futoshi seemed a bit much.  It sometimes made it
awkward between us.

Anyway, I finally got dressed, and we headed out.  I
started to think about what I was going to say to
Mieko and Masayo.  "Leave Ryosuke and Futoshi alone,
you she-devils."  No, that wouldn't do.  I didn't want
to create a scene, but I had to do something.  I just
couldn't figure out what.

Anyway, next we went and picked up Satomi.  She was
dressed quite fashionably for a change.  She had on a
tan knee-length skirt - pretty daring for her - and a
yellow camisole underneath her jean jacket.  I thought
she looked pretty attractive, but Futoshi didn't say
much.  I looked at her and smiled, but she looked
pretty worried.  I wasn't about to give up yet though.
 I was pretty sure Futoshi liked Satomi too.  He just
needed a bit of coaxing I thought.

Futoshi dropped the three of us off at the beach, and
then went to go pick up Kenta and these other girls. 
I decided to go in for a quick swim while we waited. 
It was pretty windy by then, but the water wasn't too
bad.  Ryosuke and Satomi didn't want to come in
though, so when Futoshi got back with the others, I
came out.  Kenta had this big smirk on his face, but
Masayo and Mieko were wearing a bit too much make-up I
thought.  I guess I was just feeling jealous, but I
swear they looked like china dolls or mannequins. 
They were dressed for summer, but it looked to me like
they were trying to hide how square their bodies were
with their clothes.  They were taller than Satomi and
I, but we had the better figures.  I didn't want to
let on how I was feeling, so I smiled, and said hi. 
There was a tension between us though.  Ryosuke seemed
a bit more distant and tense than usual.  It seemed
clear that he hadn't even told them that he and I were
going out.  I was a bit upset, but I was determined
not to let it faze me.

I was still dripping wet from my swim, so I toweled
off, and wrapped a colorful pareo around my waist, and
pulled on a navy hoodie with a zipper up the front.  I
don't like to hang around in my bikini when it's wet,
so I ducked into the woods, took it off, and went
commando underneath.  They probably wouldn't be able
to tell, but I thought it might be kind of exciting. 
They were all leaving soon, so I wouldn't get many
more chances to do things like this.

We walked down to the beach, and the boys got out the
coals, and set up the barbeque, while we unpacked the
groceries we'd bought.  Being here reminded me of our
last beach barbecue with Debbie.  Ryosuke was pretty
bad that time, stealing my bikini bottoms, but all in
all, that had been a good day, a happy day in my
memories.  I felt so close to Ryosuke back then.  I
was pretty sure his feelings hadn't changed, but it
was hard not to worry about this whole business with
Masayo and Mieko.

We all gathered around the barbecue huddling together
to keep out of the breeze blowing in off the water. 
My pareo kept fluttering up exposing my bare legs. 
Kenta was trying so hard to be on his best behavior in
front of Masayo and Mieko, but he kept glancing over
at me, obviously enjoying getting a peek at my legs. 
I secretly pulled down the zipper at the front of my
hoodie showing off my cleavage.  Satomi eyed me
suspiciously wondering what I was up to.  I didn't
really have a plan at all.  I was just testing a bit
to see if I could get a rise out of Ryosuke and the
others.

Ryosuke was deep in conversation with Masayo.  I
leaned forward, and got Kenta to give me his long chop
sticks, and then started checking to see if the meat
was done yet.  I could tell from the feeling of heat
on my breasts that the front of my hoodie had fallen
open pretty far.  Ryosuke finally looked over, and
pretty soon all of them were staring at my bare
breasts swinging freely as I leaned forward.  Ryosuke
had this weird expression on his face.  He didn't even
look happy.  He usually loves it when I show off a
bit.  Masayo didn't look pleased either.  It was hard
to tell from her sweater, but it looked like her
breasts were much smaller than mine.  Disappointed, I
finally straightened up, and handed the chopsticks
back to Kenta.

"It looks like they're almost ready," I bubbled
cheerfully, pretending like I hadn't realized I was
flashing them my breasts.  My little show though had
pretty well shut down all the conversation.  Maybe
they were all debating whether they should tell me
that my breasts were showing or not.

We started serving up the barbecue on paper plates. 
Once everyone had some, I pulled Satomi off to the
side, and we went, and sat down on a log at the edge
of the woods.  She was staring over at Futoshi, a bit
misty-eyed.  It was really hard to tell if who Futoshi
liked.  It looked like none of them had formed couples
yet.

Ryosuke came over, and sat near me, and then the rest
of them came over too.  Ryosuke was still acting much
cooler than usual, but he seemed more willing now to
let on that the two of us were a couple.

I relaxed, and stretched my legs way out.  My pareo
fell open at the side exposing my leg almost all the
way up to my waist.  I felt a bit naughty because it
must have been obvious I didn't have any bottoms on
underneath.  Ryosuke and Kenta kept peering over at my
leg, but I didn't bother fixing my pareo.  I was
beginning to feel a lot better now that Ryosuke was
paying attention to me again.  Kenta couldn't contain
his curiosity, and finally asked me,

"That's quite a nice pareo you're wearing.  Where did
you get it?"

"I bought it in Japan last time I was home."  I stood
up, and did a pirouette to show them.  It fluttered up
in the breeze exposing quite a bit of my thigh.  I
wondered if any of them had gotten a peek at my pussy.
 The opening wasn't that far off from my pubic hair. 
I was beginning to get a little bit excited with them
all looking at me now.  "How do you like it?"

Futoshi and Kenta gushed,

"Looks great!"

"Gorgeous!"

Ryosuke didn't say anything, but I could tell from the
look in his eye that he was starting to lust after me
too.  Masayo and Mieko looked kind of irritated.  They
didn't seem too keen on competing to see who was
sexier.

"What do you think of Satomi's new outfit?" I asked
pointing to her.  She blinked her eyes looking
distinctly kitten-like, and Futoshi kept looking at
her for a long time.  I guess he hadn't seen her for
so long he'd almost forgotten how good-looking she is.

In the end, not much happened that night.  We sat
around chatting for a long time, and the conversation
soon drifted towards things the five of us had done
together before Masayo and Mieko appeared on the
scene.  They just listened attentively, but I felt
somehow that Satomi and I had won.  Futoshi and Kenta
may be leaving, but they would remember us more than
their new playmates here.

The rest of the term just raced by, and before I knew
it, it was almost time for Kenta and Futoshi to leave.
 They went down to L. A. to find a place to stay, and
then came back, and rented a mini-van to start moving.
 They offered to come by my place, and give me some
stuff they didn't want anymore.  It was so hard to
believe they were leaving.  I was going to miss them.

That morning, my host family headed out for the day,
so I invited Ryosuke over.  Right from when I woke up,
I was kind of in a funny mood.  It was a beautiful
summer day, so I opened up my windows, and looked out
over the backyard.  I couldn't understand why Futoshi
and Kenta wanted to leave this place.  It was so
peaceful and beautiful.  These last few weeks, they
seemed all excited about moving to L. A.  They talked
about all the things they were going to do once they
got there.  I felt kind of sad hearing them go on like
that though.  It was like they were just going to
leave us behind, and move on to the big city.

Anyway, I had a shower, and came back to my room.  I
pulled on some panties, and dug out a new beige
pleated flirt skirt I've been dying to try.  It's kind
of too short to wear to go out, but I just wanted to
show it to Ryosuke before the others got here.  At the
front, it's long enough to cover everything, but at
the back, it kind of tilts up on an angle, so people
can see the seat of my underwear peeking out from
under the hem.  I pulled on this skirt and a
cream-colored tank top (no bra), and went down, and
had some breakfast.  Ryosuke showed up before too
long.  As I expected, he got a real kick out of my
skirt.

"Hey, where'd you get that?  That's great!"

"In Shibuya."  I led him into the kitchen, and
motioned for him to sit down while I got him something
to drink.

"Here.  Come over here.  Let me take a closer look." 
I swear he was grinning from ear to ear.  I was so
glad he liked it.  I walked over to where he was
sitting, and he reached over, and patted me on the
bottom.

"They're perfect.  You look sensational."  Before I
knew it, he reached up inside my skirt, and grabbed
the waistband of my panties, yanking them down until
they were hanging mid-thigh.

"Hey!  What are you doing?"  I kind of knew he might
do something like that, but I was kind of worried that
Kenta and Futoshi might show up.

"Here.  Just hold still."  All of a sudden, he slid
his fingers between my legs, and started playing with
me!

"Kyaa!"

His fingers were so cold.  I tried to break away, but
he grabbed my tummy with his other arm, and held me
there.

"Oh, look, Emi.  You're getting all wet."

"I am not."

"You are too."  He held up his middle finger to show
me.  I guess I was getting a little excited.  "Here,
bend over."

I looked back at him a bit worried.  I leaned over,
and gave him a kiss, and then did as he asked,
reaching down and resting my hands on my knees.  I
felt so naughty standing there like that bent over in
the kitchen.  He reached inside my top, and gave my
breasts a gentle squeeze, getting me even more
excited.  Then he pulled my skirt way up, and gently
ran his fingers along the curve of my behind.  Before
I could stop him, he pulled my pussy lips apart, and
started licking me with his tongue.

"Kyaa!" I squealed again.  It felt so embarrassed, but
I was getting really aroused.  His tongue felt so good
my knees almost buckled under me.  He pulled my
panties down, and motioned for me to step out of them.
 Once we got them off, I spread my legs, and he
started probing around ever so gently for my hello
kitty.  Soon, he found just the right spot.  I was in
heaven.  He's getting really good with his hands.

Unfortunately, before I could orgasm, we heard a car's
engine pull up outside.  Oh no!  They're here already.
 I straightened back up, and fluffed my skirt back
down.  Ryosuke ran over to the sink to wash off his
face.  I tore off a paper towel, wet it and wiped my
own juices off the insides of my thighs.  I was still
breathing heavily, deeply aroused, and my hello kitty
was too sensitive to touch.  I've got to calm back
down here.

We heard car doors slam, and then a knock at the front
door.  Ryosuke went out to let them in, while I looked
around for my panties.  Ryosuke must have taken them
with him because I couldn't see them anywhere.  Oh no
not again.  I started to panic.  Now what am I going
to do.  I cautiously went out into the living room,
but I was acutely aware of the cool morning air on my
still wet pussy.

"Morning, Emi.  How're you doing?" Kenta grinned.  I
nodded shyly wondering if I could just nip past them,
and run upstairs to get some fresh panties.  I slowly
moved forward, brushing down my skirt at the back. 
There wasn't much hope of hiding my bottom though. 
The whole point of the skirt was to show it off.

"Do you guys want something to drink?" Ryosuke asked. 
I shot him a look, but he was just grinning, enjoying
embarrassing me.  I'd obviously had to get them the
drinks because this was my house.  I backed up into
the kitchen, and Ryosuke followed me in.  I glared at
him.

"Where are my panties?" I whispered.

"I don't know.  Where did you leave them?"

He obviously wasn't going to give them back.  I gave
him my best peeved look, but he just sat down at the
kitchen table, and turned to watch me, obviously
enjoying the chance to ogle my bare behind.  He's
horrible this way sometimes.  It was hard to stay mad
at him though.  It was kind of thrilling walking
around like this with Futoshi and Kenta there.  I
peeked out the kitchen door, leaning forward to give
Ryosuke a peek at my bare bottom.

"What do you guys want to drink?  Barley tea?  I have
some made."

"That'd be fine."

I glanced back at Ryosuke, but he was still just
grinning away.  He obviously loved tormenting me this
way.  I reached up, and got some glasses from the
cupboard, spreading my legs a bit, and getting a bit
of a buzz from flashing him.  I opened the fridge, and
bent way over, giving him a nice long look at my still
wet pussy.  I was getting so excited by then.

I brought the drinks out, and gave them to Futoshi and
Kenta.  I didn't want them looking at me, so I went
around behind the couch they were sitting on, and
stood there.  Ryosuke brushed past me, and stood near
the foot of the stairs, still watching me to see what
I would do.

"What all did you guys bring?" he asked.

"There's a low table, a lamp and some bookshelves,"
Kenta explained.  I leaned forward resting my tummy
and hands on the back of the couch.  I knew I
shouldn't be doing this but I was getting so turned
on, exposing my bare bottom to Ryosuke without Kenta
and Futoshi knowing.  I leaned way forward, and spread
my legs a bit.  I was still excited from earlier and
now this.  I could already feel an orgasm coming on.

"Anyway, let's go outside and take a look," Ryosuke
urged.  I shot him a look.  Surely he didn't expect me
to go outside dressed like this.  Kenta and Futoshi
got up and went to the door, but I just stood there. 
I couldn't very well run upstairs with the three of
them watching.

"You guys go ahead.  I'll be there in a sec," I said
hoping to go get some panties.

"No, no, c'mon Emi.  Let's just go see.  You can get
whatever later."  Ryosuke took me by the hand, and led
me towards the door.  I started panicking as I
realized he intended me to go outside like this.  I
really didn't want to go, but he wouldn't let go of my
hand.  I finally bent over, and pulled on my sandals,
while Ryosuke peeked around behind me checking out my
rear.  I sure hope Futoshi and Kenta haven't noticed. 
Maybe I can just dash right out, and then find some
excuse to come back in, and get dressed.  Before I
knew it, I was outside squinting in the bright sun.  I
held down my skirt as best I could, as Ryosuke dragged
me along.  I cautiously stepped out the front door
looking this way and that just to make sure none of my
neighbors was around.

Luckily, no one seemed to be out at this time of the
morning, but I swear I was almost having a heart
attack.  What if someone sees me?  I would never be
able to live it down.  I bounced down the steps, and
scurried over to the van, getting so excited at
walking around outside with my bare bottom on display.
 Ryosuke led me around to the back of the van which
was open and facing the street.  I couldn't believe I
was standing right by the sidewalk dressed like this. 
This is so humiliating.

Futoshi and Kenta climbed up into the back of the van,
and explained what each thing was.  I was standing
there with my back to the street with Ryosuke right
behind me.  I kept peeking over my shoulder to see if
anyone was watching.  I brushed my skirt down at the
back, but I swear it was floating more than halfway up
my bare bottom.  Everything did seem pretty quiet, so
I began to feel a little more daring.  I leaned
forward into the van, putting my hands on the floor
asking about different things.  I couldn't feel my
skirt, but I could definitely feel the breeze licking
at my pussy lips.  I looked back at Ryosuke, and he
was grinning like anything.

I was so excited.  With Futoshi and Kenta right there
in front of me, I spread my legs way apart and bent
way forward to give Ryosuke a good look at how wet I
was getting.  If Futoshi and Kenta hadn't been there,
I don't know what we might have done.

Suddenly, I heard a screen door slam just behind us. 
I straightened back up like a shot, brushed my skirt
back down, and turned to see what it was.  One of my
neighbors from across the street had come out of his
house, and was headed straight this way!  Oh no!  He
must have seen me waving my bare bottom in the air! 
Now what do I do?

"Hi, do you guys need any help?" he asked with this
big grin.  I was too embarrassed to say anything, but
Futoshi got down out of the van.

"Uh, I think we're OK.  We're just dropping off a few
things, whatever Emi here wants."

He looked down at me, curious.

"You've been living here a while, haven't you?  I've
seen you around a lot."

I squinted, wondering exactly what he had seen. 
Sometimes Ryosuke and I have done other dangerous
things just in front of my house here.  I always
thought no one had found us out, but the way he was
smiling made me not so sure anymore.  I suddenly
thought of a good excuse.

"Oh, I forgot.  I think I might have left the kettle
on."  I backed away from them, looking down for the
porch stairs.  I couldn't turn around or they'll see
again.

"Uh, wait, Emi.  Do you want all this food?  There's
some instant ramen and some snacks."

"Uh, yeah, sure."

"What about this little coffee table?  You could put
in your room."

"Uh, OK.  If you don't want it."  Holding my skirt
down as best I could, I turned and walked up the front
steps.  Futoshi was right behind me though, and my
neighbor was looking over intently at my rear.  Oh
shoot.  I hope they haven't figured out that I'm
pantiless.

When we got inside, I wanted to go upstairs, and
change, but Futoshi was standing right there with the
table obviously intending to follow.

"Uh, Futoshi, you go first."

"No, I insist, after you.  Ladies first."

Kenta came in with the food, and Ryosuke was carrying
the desk lamp.

"Where should I put this?  In the kitchen?" Kenta
asked.

"Yeah, OK."

Ryosuke just stood there smirking like anything.  I
swear he loves to see me in torment like this.

"Why don't you just go ahead, and show him.  It's no
big deal," Ryosuke said.

"Show me what?" Futoshi asked.  Kenta came back from
the kitchen, and the three of them stood there looking
at me.

"Emi is such a little hot potato she can't seem to
keep her panties on," Ryosuke blurted out.

"You stole them from me," I yelled hitting him.  He
reached down, grabbed the hem of my skirt and lifted
it up showing them my pussy.  I fought to push my
skirt back down, but he wouldn't let go.  Futoshi and
Kenta were looking on in shock.  I felt so humiliated
and angry and excited all rolled into one.  Can you
imagine me standing there with the three of them
looking down at my pussy?  I could hardly believe this
all was happening.  Even worse Ryosuke was trying to
make it look like it was my idea.

"Let go!  Let go!" I screamed.

"Only if you promise to be a good girl."

"Damn!" Kenta cried out.  Ryosuke loosened his grip,
and finally let go.  Kenta had turned away, and was
clutching his nose.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, he's just got a nosebleed again," Futoshi
scoffed.  "The same thing happened that day he was
supposed to leave for Japan, remember?"

"Here, I'll get you some paper towels."  I ran to the
kitchen, and brought some back.  I was so shocked
because he was really bleeding.  I hit Ryosuke.

"See what you did."

He brushed the back of his head, and looked at me
apologetically.

"Sorry.  That body of yours is dynamite.  You'd better
watch who you show it to."

I glared at him angrily.  Suddenly, he looked down at
me suspiciously.

"Why did Kenta get a nosebleed the day he left for
Japan?"

I started blushing.  Kenta had let Ryosuke and I use
his place while he was gone.  I went there, picked up
the key, and then Futoshi drove Kenta to the airport. 
I ended up sunbathing nude on Kenta's balcony, but
suddenly they came back and found me.  I'd been too
embarrassed to tell Ryosuke.

"Didn't Emi tell you?" Futoshi asked.

"No," Ryosuke said.  He looked down at me.

"No comment," I said, running up the stairs to get
changed.  I glanced back, and Ryosuke and Futoshi were
staring up my skirt.  "Oh, you guys are horrible."

As usual, there's more I want to tell you, but I'd
better stop here for now.  I'll write again soon. 
Till then, take care,
