My Friend Yuko's Backyard Pool 


One of the people I met through the Japanese Student
Union on campus is an older woman named Yuuko.  I'd
heard about her from some of my other friends, and
then one day during the summer she came into the JSU
office while I was there, and we got to talking.  Like
me, Yuuko was born in Japan, but she came here to
California to study at Oceanview U., and she ended up
marrying a Japanese American man, having kids, and
settling here.  She is very outgoing and friendly, and
we became fast friends.  She invited an older American
woman, Mrs. Olgren, another friend named Izumi and me
up to her house on the north side of town.  The four
of us got something to drink in a coffee shop, and
Yuuko told us a bit about some beaches she recommended
nearby.  I really like the beach too, so I was glad to
find out we had so much in common.  Soon, she drove us
over to her house for supper.

Yuuko lives in this big house just in front of a park,
something like the one where my host family lives. 
She took us out back, and showed us the park behind
their house and the swimming pool they have in their
backyard.  Yuuko's daughter Yuuna came out, and joined
us.  She was in middle school and apparently quite the
swimmer.  I was so envious.  I wish we had a pool.

Suddenly, Yuuko switched to Japanese, perhaps so Mrs.
Olgren wouldn't understand, and told me that her
family sometimes skinny-dips in the pool.  To tell you
the truth, I was a bit surprised to hear this.  Of
course, I've been skinny-dipping a few times - at my
friend Debbie's house and the nude beach and stuff,
but somehow I never thought it was something that
normal people do.  I squinted up at Yuuko's face,
wondering if she might be teasing, but she looked
quite serious.  I nodded up toward the neighbor's
windows.

"What about the neighbors?  Don't they mind?"

"They don't care," she guffawed cheerily.  I haven't
really met that many people like Yuuko here in the
States, so I was kind of happy to find someone so
open-minded.  I wanted to ask her more about it, but
Mrs. Olgren was standing right there listening, so I
decided I'd better not.  Soon it was time for supper,
so we went back inside, and the conversation moved on
to other things.  Yuuko's husband Gavin and her two
sons, Hitoshi and Naoki, joined us.  They all seemed
very nice, polite and much quieter than Yuuko herself.
 Yuuko dominated the conversation at supper talking
with Mrs. Olgren about people they used to know and
the things they'd done together.  I just listened
politely looking for a chance to ask more about the
pool, but it never came.

After that, I didn't see Yuuko again for quite some
time.  Still, I couldn't get what she'd said off my
mind.  I guess it made sense.  They were treating the
swimming pool almost like it was a Japanese hot
spring.  No one ever wears swimsuits in a hot spring. 
Eventually, I couldn't contain my curiosity anymore. 
I phoned Yuuko up, and asked if I could come visit her
again, and go for a swim in her pool.  She sounded a
little bit surprised, but eventually, she agreed.

I was still worried about how to handle this whole
thing.  To tell the truth, I was already thinking
about how I could convince her to let me go
skinny-dipping in their pool, but anyway, I ended up
taking my old red and white bikini and my hoodie with
me just in case.  On the way, I stopped by at the
store to buy them a gift, some fresh fruit, to thank
them for all their kindness.  Yuuko came to pick me up
at the station.  She seemed in a good mood, and happy
to see me again.  She told me that her kids were home
for the summer, but the boys had gone off somewhere. 
She seemed really calm and at ease.  I was still kind
of thinking about if I should ask her if I could go
skinny-dipping, but somehow I couldn't quite get up
the nerve, and before I knew it, we'd arrived at her
house.

Yuuko's young daughter, Yuuna came out, and sat with
us in the living room while we had tea, and chatted
about what was new since last I saw her.  It was a
weekday, so Yuuko's husband, Gavin was off at work.  I
kept peering out the back window at their pool.

"Oh, you wanted to go swimming, didn't you?" Yuuko
smiled.  "Did you bring your suit?" she asked.

"Um... yeah, I did.  But, um... I... uh..." I
sputtered.  I don't know why I was so nervous.  It was
just the three of us girls.  It should have been the
simplest thing in the world to ask if I could
skinny-dip, but for some reason, I couldn't do it with
the two of them looking at me so innocently.

"What's wrong?" Yuuko asked.

"Oh nothing."  For some reason, I just couldn't ask
her.  I decided to relax for now, and see what
happened.  Yuuna and Yuuko disappeared off into their
rooms, so I went into the bathroom, and changed into
my bikini.  Yuuna came out in her swimsuit, all
excited now, and took me out to the back stairs that
led down to the pool.  I stood there for a moment
peering over at the neighbor's window trying to tell
if anyone was home.  Was Yuuko telling the truth when
she said they really didn't care if they swam naked? 
It was a bit hard to imagine.  Most of the people I'd
met here in Oceanview seemed pretty uptight about
nudity.  Maybe I was wrong, and people didn't really
care as much as I thought.

Yuuna ran down the stairs, and dove into the pool,
swimming around like a little tadpole.  She was
obviously quite the swimmer, diving deep and then
resurfacing seemingly not winded in the slightest.  I
followed her down, and dove in too.  The water was
refreshingly cool after the intense heat of the
afternoon sun.

Soon Yuuko came out in a one-piece swimsuit.  She was
a large woman, not fat, but had a big boxy frame and
thick bones for a Japanese.  She came down to the
pool's edge, and looked over at my figure somewhat
jealously.

"You seem to be in good shape."

I blushed.

"I do my best.  I love to swim."

The three of us swam around for a bit.  Yuuna knew all
kinds of stunts.  She could do all these flips and
somersaults in the water.  She swam like a fish.  Her
mom was a strong swimmer too, but she just tended to
do lengths.  She stopped at the edge, and squinted
over at me, smiling.

"So what do you think?" she asked good-naturedly.

"It's great.  You guys are so lucky."

We swam around for maybe an hour or so, but
eventually, Yuuna got out, and went back up to the
house.

"I'd better go get ready for supper," Yuuko told me. 
"Would you like to join us?"

"No, that's OK.  I'd better go."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, thanks."

We got up out of the pool, and went back to the house.
 I could hear Yuuna puttering away in her room, but
there was still no sign of the boys.

"Could I use your shower?" I asked Yuuko.

"Sure, go ahead."

I fetched my backpack, went into the bath room, and
stripped out of my bikini, examining myself in the
mirror.  My arms and legs were a bit tanned from being
outside, but my breasts and pubic area were as white
as a sheet.  My boyfriend Ryosuke said my tan lines
look erotic, but I think they look kind of silly.  If
I'm going to tan at all, I'd like to get an all over
tan.  That summer, I hadn't really gotten a chance for
that.  I'd been too busy with work and stuff to work
on my tan much.

I had a quick shower, and toweled off.  I decided to
wait a bit till the air dried my body completely.  I
pulled on my hoodie, and then peeked out the door.  As
far as I could tell, it was still just the three of
us.

"What time are the boys supposed to be home?" I called
into the kitchen where Yuuko was working away.

"Hard to say.  They are in and out all the time.  I
lose track."

I pulled down the hem of my hoodie to cover my pussy,
and cautiously padded out into the hall.  I felt a
twinge of excitement at running around their halls
half-naked.  I giddily nipped into Hitoshi's room, and
looked around.  He had all these bookshelves with
school books and CDs and toys and such.  He had so
much stuff.  Soon, Hitoshi himself came in, back from
wherever he had been.  I reeled back, a bit surprised
to see him.  He moves so quietly I hadn't even heard
him come in.

"Oh sorry," I apologized, nervously tugging at the hem
of my hoodie, worried that he might be able to tell
that I wasn't wearing anything underneath.  "I was
just taking a look around.  I hope you don't mind."

"That's OK," he mumbled, looking down shyly, setting
his bag down on his bed.  There was an awkward
silence.  I guess I should have headed back to the
bathroom right away, and got dressed, but for some
reason, I decided to stay, and see what happened.  I
shouldn't just stand here though.  I glanced around
looking for something to talk about.

"You have some Japanese books here," I noted.

"Yeah," he nodded, not quite meeting my gaze.

"Is this like a textbook from Japanese school?" I
asked, nodding up at one of the books on his shelf.

"Which one?"

I was standing there with my back to him.  I reached
up, and took the book off the shelf.  I could feel the
hem of the hoodie sliding up my bare backside.  I
quickly lowered my arms, and covered my behind with
the book, but I was too late.  His face had gone
white, and he was staring down at my hips.  He'd
obviously seen my bare bottom.  I don't know why, but
for some reason, I was getting all excited.  My pussy
had started tingling like crazy.

"Oh sorry.  I uh..." I started, but my mind had gone
blank.  I couldn't think of how to explain.  Holding
the back of my hoodie down with one hand, I clumsily
replaced the book.  "Anyway, sorry," was all I could
think to say.  I scurried out and back into the bath
room, but I heard him calling after me.

"No, that's alright.  You're pretty."

My head was all in a tizzy by then.  Why had I gone,
and done such a thing?  I quickly got dressed.  I
honestly hadn't planned on flashing him, but somehow I
always get carried away.  I quickly found Yuuko,
thanked her, and headed out.  Hitoshi came to the
door, and watched as I walked away.  My heart was
pounding in my chest.  Shoot!  I sure hope he doesn't
tell Yuuko.

After a while, I slowly calmed down again.  Maybe it
wasn't such a big deal.  Yuuko had said that they
skinny-dipped in the pool.  I still wasn't sure if the
'they' included Hitoshi, but anyway, he must be used
to the idea of people running around his house in the
nude.

A week or so later, I gave Yuuko a call, and she
seemed the same as ever.  She even invited me to drop
by again.  As far as I could tell, Hitoshi hadn't told
her anything about what had happened.  I was so
relieved.

I headed over to her place again one day not long
after.  Yuuko came in their SUV to pick me up at the
bus stop.  I was starting to feel a lot more
comfortable talking with her.  This time, I was
determined to ask her if I could go in skinny-dipping.
 Before I could though, we arrived at her house.

"Listen, I'm really sorry about this, Emi, but I have
to go run some errands before supper.  Yuuna!  Could
you play with Emi while I'm gone?  Maybe the two of
you could go in swimming.

"Um, first, could I use your shower?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure, go ahead."

"Um and also there's something else I wanted to ask
you about."

She raised an eyebrow looking at me curiously.

"You know how you were saying you go skinny-dipping
sometimes..."

Yuuko stared at me dumbstruck for a moment.

"Uh, yeah," she answered hesitantly unsure of what I
was getting at.  I drew in a deep breath steeling
myself to ask.

"Do you think I could...?"  I couldn't quite finish
the question, but she eventually figured out what I
was trying to ask.  Her face froze in this strange
grin for the longest time, and then finally she
nodded.

"Um, yeah, well I guess so.  If you'd like."  She
glanced off towards her boys' rooms.  "Um, maybe I'd
better tell Hitoshi not to bother you."

I nodded.  Obviously, she didn't know he'd seen me
half naked already.  I headed into the bath room, but
could vaguely hear her talking with Hitoshi through
the closed door.  I pulled off my jeans, unbuttoned my
blouse, and shivered a little standing there in my
undies.  I found my bikini in my bag, but decided not
to bother putting it on.  I had a quick shower,
toweled off, pulled on my hoodie, and wrapped the
towel around my hips.  I felt a twinge of
embarrassment as I snuck past Hitoshi in his room. 
Yuuko was still hanging around in the kitchen, perhaps
a bit worried about how this all was going to go. 
She'd been the one who had first mentioned
skinny-dipping, but I guess she hadn't really expected
me to want to join in.

"Yuuna!" she called out into the back.  "Could you
take Emi in swimming?"

Yuuna came out, and then rushed off to get changed. 
When she came back in her swimsuit, her mom called her
over, and whispered something in her ear.  I couldn't
quite catch what she said, but it must have been
something about my skinny-dipping.  Yuuna looked at me
strangely for a moment, but finally nodded, and took
me out back and down to the pool.

Yuuna dove into the pool right away, but I stood there
looking around for a little while.  I couldn't see any
sign of the neighbors.  I cautiously stripped off my
hoodie and towel, and set them down on the patio table
under the stairs.  I slowly walked over to the pool
edge naked, shivering from excitement more than
anything.  Yuuna peered up at me curiously, but she
didn't seem offended.  I guess she'd seen her parents
naked enough times that it was no big deal.  I got in,
and swam around for a while enjoying the feeling of
the water on my naked body.  It felt so wonderful to
be naked outside on such a warm sunny day.  I'd
wondered at first if Yuuna might come in
skinny-dipping as well, but clearly, she intended to
keep her suit on.  Oh well.  Maybe I can talk Yuuko
into coming in later.

After we'd been swimming around for a while, I noticed
signs of movement from inside the house.  I swam over
to the pool edge to get a better look.  Clearly, there
was someone there in the rec room looking out this
way.  I turned to alert Yuuna, but suddenly the phone
started ringing.

"Oh oh.  I'll get it," she called out getting out of
the pool.  Before I could say anything, she'd run
upstairs and back into the house.  I was stuck out
here alone with this peeping tom watching.  He wasn't
moving at all, perhaps hoping that I couldn't see him.
 It was kind of dark in the house, but there was
definitely someone there.  It had to be Hitoshi.  I
guess his mom had gone out, and he'd come down to get
a peek at me swimming in the buff.  At least he was
keeping his distance.  He probably couldn't see very
much as long as I stayed in the pool.

I slowly went back to swimming keeping a close eye on
my not-so-secret admirer.  He just sat there reading
something and looking up now and then.  Yuuna was sure
taking her time on the phone.  My fingers were
starting to get all shriveled up from staying in the
water so long.  Eventually, I heard Yuuko come back. 
She came out onto the balcony, and called down to me,

"You will stay for supper this time, won't you?  I
bought some fresh oysters for you."

"Um, yeah, OK."

She disappeared back inside before I could explain
about Hitoshi.  Shoot!  Now what do I do?  He seemed
determined to stay there until I got out.  I debated
what to do for the longest time, but finally decided
I'd have to get out sooner or later.  I came over to
the pool ladder, but he must have realized what I was
planning, because he got up, and came right to the
window.  It was Hitoshi alright, and he was making no
bones about looking straight at me.  My whole body
started shivering uncontrollably.  I probably should
have come up with some other plan, but I was getting
so excited it was hard to think straight.  I grabbed
the handrails, and slowly climbed out looking down in
embarrassment at my own naked body.  I looked horribly
obscene with my breasts glistening in the bright sun
and water dripping from my pubic hair.  I paused for a
moment shuddering from feeling of flashing my naked
body to Yuuko's poor son here.

I scrambled over to where I'd left my towel turning my
back to Hitoshi trying to hide how excited I was
getting.  I tried to pretend like I didn't know he was
there although obviously he could tell I'd seen him. 
I dried myself off, desperately trying to hold back
the orgasm I could feel coming on.  I couldn't take
much more excitement though.  I grabbed my hoodie, and
bounded up the stairs.  I paused on the balcony to try
to calm back down.  This wasn't easy though, because
it sounded like Gavin, Yuuko's husband, was home, and
here I was standing just outside the door stark naked.
 I quickly pulled on my hoodie, and wrapped the towel
around my waist, but I still felt as randy as ever.  I
took a deep breath, and went in.

"Oh Emi, there you are.  Did you have a good swim?"
Yuuko asked coyly.

"Um, yeah.  Thanks.  Can I use your shower?"

"Yeah, sure go ahead."

I quickly retreated to the bath room, stripped, and
showered off.  I could hear Gavin and Yuuko talking in
the kitchen, and it sounded like Naoki was home too. 
I don't know why, but I still felt excited showering
there like this with all of them home.  I toweled off
again, but by this point, my towel was soaking wet.  I
pulled on my hoodie, and looked around for my backpack
with my clothes, but it wasn't there.  Oh drat.  I
must have left it outside.  Now what do I do?

I opened the door a crack, but I couldn't see my bag
in the hall either.  I must have taken it into the
living room or somewhere.  I cautiously crept out into
the hall, holding the hem of my hoodie down as best I
could to keep my pussy covered.  I tiptoed past
Hitoshi's room, but luckily he wasn't there.  Yuuko
spotted me though.

"Oh Emi, there you are.  Supper's ready.  You can sit
next to me."

I stepped out into the living room, and finally
spotted my bag, but Gavin and the boys were all
sitting right there.  I scooted into the kitchen
hoping to get Yuuko to fetch my bag, but she was busy
moving dishes into the dining room.

"Here, Emi.  Could you put this on the table over
there?" she said handing me a dish.  I took it from
her, and quickly set it down on the table, but when I
turned back, she was staring down in puzzlement at my
bare pussy.  Oh oh!  Now I'm in for it.

Strangely, at first she didn't say anything.  Everyone
came to the table, and sat down.  Anxious to hide, I
ended up setting my bare bottom down on the cool cloth
of the chair seat.  Yuuko was obviously aware of my
predicament, but she was just acting like nothing was
wrong.  Luckily, Yuuna was sitting on my other side,
and Gavin down at the other end wasn't really looking
at me.

"OK, dig in, everybody.  There's lots more in the
kitchen."

I pressed my legs tightly together, and sat all the
way back in my seat trying to hide my bare backside. 
The hem of my hoodie was more or less covering my
pussy, but it had crept way up at the back leaving my
bare bottom completely exposed.  Oh god what am I
doing?  Yuuko looked over at me, and said,

"Heavens, Emi!  You're sweating.  Hadn't you better
take that big bulky sweater off?"

I stared at her wondering if she was inviting me to
get naked in her dining room, but soon realized she
must be just teasing.  I knew she had a sense of
humour, but I couldn't understand how she could be so
coy with her family all sitting right there.

"No, I'm fine, thanks," I mumbled, blushing even more
as they all stared at me.

"Emi was skinny-dipping out back a bit earlier," Yuuko
announced, pushing the envelope even further. 
Hitoshi's eyes flashed as he stared over at my
breasts, doubtless recalling my naked body from
earlier.  My nipples stiffened as the image of him
staring at me earlier popped into my own head.  Gavin
started staring down at my lap, and I suddenly
realized my hoodie was no longer covering my pussy. 
Panicking, I stood up, but this just confirmed what
they all suspected.  I was now flashing my pussy at
their whole family.

"Sorry.  Excuse me," I apologized running off into the
kitchen.  My heart was pounding in my chest.  What on
earth did I do that for?  They must all think I'm
crazy.  I didn't mean to do that.  I swear I didn't. 
I peered over at my bag on the floor of the living
room.  I'd have to walk out into view to get it, but
luckily, Yuuko came out into the kitchen before I did.

"My dear!  Such a way to dress," she scolded.  I held
up my hand in apology, and smiled weakly at her.  She
went, got my bag, and handed it to me.  "Maybe next
time you should be more careful," she chided winking
at me.  Obviously she thought it was the funniest
thing.  Still shaking, I fished out my panties and
skirt, and pulled them on.

"Sorry," I apologized again, but Yuuko was too busy
laughing.  Once I was all dressed, I went back to the
table.  All three of the guys had gone really quiet. 
Yuuko kept jabbering away about how funny this all
was, but none of the rest of us knew quite what to
say.  After supper, Gavin and Yuuko walked me out to
the bus stop.

"I'm really sorry about that.  I didn't really mean to
do anything like that," I kept apologizing.

"That's alright.  It's no big deal really.  Hitoshi
and Naoki are pretty used to seeing me naked.  I
wasn't quite sure how they'd react, but it's good for
them in a way."

"Anyway, thanks again, and sorry for all the bother."

"That's alright.  Don't worry about it.  Give us a
call next time you're headed out this way."

My bus came, and I finally headed back.  It had been
pretty nerve-wracking at the time, but sitting in the
bus I couldn't help smiling.  It's always kind of
funny to flash people, and see how they react.
