Part 2
By the time her main dish came around, Erin had calmed down somewhat. She constantly eyed the full restaurant while slowly sipping her soup and eating her bread. It wasn’t a whole lot, but that left all the more room for the salmon that was awaiting her on her plate now.
“Thank you, Lola,” she said.
“How did you enjoy the soup?” the waitress asked.
“It was delicious!” Erin replied with a smile.
“I’ll make sure to pass that on to the kitchen. Were you able to pick a dessert?”
“I…” Erin started but halted again. Already she was asked to order for a dessert. Well, she still had one sock left, so that wasn’t too bad…
“I can come back in a few minutes,” Lola chuckled.
“No. I’ll take the Tiramisu… and… and a refill on my wine please,” Erin blurted out.
There was a twinkle in Lola’s eyes at that as her smile grew broader and broader. “Now you’re talking,” she grinned, writing the orders down in her notepad. “Two orders, so…”
“Two pieces of clothing, yes, yes… I know,” Erin said. She had surprised herself there, asking for a refill on her wine. Sure, her glass was empty now but she wasn’t planning on a refill! And yet, here she was, having to take off her own clothes because she couldn’t resist it. Was it because the wine was so good… or because this growing sensation in her abdomen felt so good? Regardless, she took off her remaining sock… and halted.
She only had four pieces of clothing left. Her shirt, her skirt, her bra and her panties. Taking off either her skirt or top would be incredibly revealing, but taking off her bra or panties would make taking off her skirt or top later that much worse. Then again, the order wouldn’t exactly matter too much if she were to be completely nude by the end of all this… finally, she settled on taking off her top and handing it in to the eager waitress. The air that was now freely brushing over her exposed upper body felt exhilarating. She started shaking due to the excitement.
And it felt good. It was incredible. She had rarely felt this good before. Exposing herself in front of all of those clothed people in the restaurant. Each of them could see her exposed top in just her bra. Each of them clothed while she was in the process of getting naked. What did this make her? A slut? Did it make her less of a person than them? Or was it simply an incredible feeling for no apparent reason? She didn’t feel like a slut, nor did she feel less than them. In fact, she probably felt more alive than any of them!
“I will be back shortly then,” Lola said, taking the sock and top with her out the room again.
This was so unexpected… yet something was still just odd. None of the people were looking her way. No-one saw her. Sure, every now and then, someone would glance her way, but they weren’t actively watching her. Why not? Was it so common to see a woman in just her bra here? Why was she thinking this? Did she WANT to be seen? Just last week, she had been so shy and now…
She just started eating her food again and, much like the soup, the fish was simply divine, as were the potato wedges! But… she did miss a sauce. A sauce that would really perfect it. A sauce that… would have her take off her skirt.
That’s when her heart sank though. A table right next to her window in the restaurant had freed up earlier and was now being occupied by two new people. One of them she recognized.
It was Amanda on her date.
Erin wanted to scream but she stopped herself. She wanted to run and hide, but there was nowhere to run to. What was she to do? She did her very best to hide her face with her hair and stare directly down at her table but there was no way she could relax now. What would Amanda think of her? What would she say? She’d certainly think of her best friend differently. Maybe she wouldn’t want to be friends with her anymore?
When Lola re-entered the room suddenly, Erin gasped again. The waitress simply placed the glass of wine on the table and tilted her head. “What’s up? You were doing so well just now.”
Erin just pointed in the direction of Amanda without looking. “I… I k-know that girl.”
“Ah,” Lola said, nodding. “I see. Don’t worry, ma’am. She can’t see you.”
“Wait… WHAT?!” Erin cried out.
“This window here appears as a mirror on the other side, you see.”
“Why… why did you not tell me this before?!”
“The simple and clichéd answer is that you didn’t ask,” Lola stated matter-of-factly. “Madame Louise told us we can only tell our customers when they specifically ask about it and, well, you may not have asked for it now but I’m doing you a favour here. To calm you down.”
Erin eyed the window. All this time, she was hidden from their eyes without her even knowing. All this time, the only ones who have seen her in her state of undress were Lola and Erin herself. “So… I was worried about nothing all this time?”
“Well, I wouldn’t say that,” Lola chuckled when she looked somewhere behind Erin. She adjusted her clothing slightly and tidied up her hair a little bit. It struck Erin then that she was looking at the mirror behind her.
Erin gasped. She had been watched alright, but from the other side. By sitting next to this mirror, she had actually been giving an unknown amount of unseen people a much better view of herself without her realizing it. She wanted to scream again. She wanted to run, but where was she to run to? After all, she couldn’t exactly run out of the room and into the crowded restaurant in nothing but her skirt, bra and panties.
But then… her earlier excitement returned to her. She had been giving a very good view to an unknown amount of unseen people. There could be no-one behind that mirror, or there could be a hundred people. There was no way for her to tell and somehow, she knew that Lola wasn’t going to tell her either. People could be watching her right now. People could see her sitting there, in just her skirt, bra and panties. Just thinking about that… she actually found herself getting turned on by the idea. Even the fact that Amanda was currently sitting just a few feet away from her, without being able to actually see her, was somehow very exciting for her. Even though her mind screamed at her that all of this was wrong, she couldn’t help but feel great.
“So,” Lola suddenly said, holding out her pen and her notepad, “did you want to order anything more?” The smile on her face spoke volumes about what she must have been thinking. Erin figured that Lola probably knew everything that was going through her head right now.
Erin stared at the waitress for a good few seconds, contemplating her next move. Finally though, she stood up, resolutely took off her skirt and handed it to Lola. “I want some honey mustard sauce,” she said firmly before sitting down again.
Lola smirked. “You’re taking this all quite well all of a sudden,” she said, taking the skirt and writing down the new order.
A modest smile appeared on Erin’s face. “Yes… yes I am,” she said.
Erin had been sitting in nothing but her underwear for a good while now. Lola had brought her her sauce and she was thoroughly enjoying her meal. Of course, that wasn’t the only thing she was enjoying. She couldn’t help but look through the window to her right, to where Amanda was sitting. Ever since she had gotten here, she had had a look on her face that Erin recognized all too well. She knew that Amanda wasn’t really happy to be sitting in this particular restaurant, but she was still doing this regardless for her boyfriend. Erin also noticed that Amanda was constantly on the lookout, probably to see if she could spot any nude people.
At the same time, Erin also looked into the mirror on her left an awful lot. There could be someone staring back at her right at that moment and there was no way for her to know. The unknown, the idea of possibly being exposed to someone, it drove her mad with excitement and pleasure. She was enjoying this so much more than she had initially thought.
Of course, she had to think about what she would do after this. She couldn’t really keep this a secret from Amanda, but telling her, after her rant at the pizza place last week… That was going to be quite the conversation! However, that was something to worry about later. Right now, she could enjoy the time she had.
That’s when Lola entered the room again.
“Are you enjoying yourself?” she asked with a smirk.
“Yes… I am actually enjoying myself a whole lot,” Erin admitted. Whether this was the alcohol speaking or not, she couldn’t tell but it didn’t matter. What mattered was how she felt at that moment.
“Well, that’s fantastic to hear!” Lola said, giving her a thumbs-up.
“Actually… may I ask something?” There was something on Erin’s mind since the evening began, and there was no better way to find out about it.
“Ah, sure?”
“Well… I’ve been in here alone so far. Is that… well, why is that? Am I just… a weirdo?” Erin eyed the waitress uncomfortably, and she was rather flustered. Of course, she was already flustered by the fact that she was sitting there in her underwear so this new blush probably wasn’t too noticeable comparatively.
Lola chuckled. “Don’t worry, madam – you are far from the only one. We usually get around one to three different guests on weekdays. Weekends tend to be busier. True, there’s some regulars, but I can’t tell you how many different faces I’ve seen in here so far,” she explained.
“So… I’m not the only one?” Erin asked.
Lola’s motherly smile from earlier returned to her again.
“Not at all, no. And don’t worry – you are not a slut, or weak, or anything bad. If anything, you are strong and brave for doing this.”
“Strong… and brave…” Erin repeated to herself. It was so hard to believe. How could she be strong and brave when she felt so weak and vulnerable without her clothes. But then again… Lola did have a good point. She was doing something incredibly brave. Something she never thought she’d dare do until tonight.
“Thank you, Lola… for pushing me a little bit earlier” she said then.
“Hey, that’s part of my job description,” the waitress chuckled. “I’m here to serve you food and help you unwind, so that’s exactly what I’m doing. Speaking of which…” she then held out her trusty pen and notepad again.
Do you have her dramatic reading videos from the old forum where she reads and strips with the story? I’ve been looking for that forever
Great story! As a woman who’s also bisexual/queer and really into ENF I enjoyed it very much.
