Leilani was lying in her tent when she heard leaves crunching outside. She saw a long, masculine silhouette and the glow of a headlamp hit her orange tent.
“You awake?”
She was a little startled. It was late and she hadn’t heard anything besides the chorus of crickets and frogs for hours.
“Jay?”
He was waiting outside her tent, courteous enough to leave the flap zipped. She had been reading inside her sleeping bag topless, and now sitting up she felt her nipples harden in the cold.
“I saw you were up and I can’t sleep, do you want to go for a swim?” Jay said.
“Ummm, are you sure? Okay,” Leilani responded surprised. They were good friends but he had never made such a request before.
Leilani searched around her tent quickly for a top, knowing he could probably see the outline of her breasts through the thin fabric of the tent.
She was excited but flustered. “Just give me a moment, I’ll meet you at the edge of the lake.”
“Okay, but don’t take too long or I’ll have to go in without you!” Jay chimed while strolling off, his heavy boots trodding down the path to the water.
