It was June 1995, and my girlfriend Julie and I had managed to save enough money for a holiday abroad. We decided ten days on the small Greek island of Zakynthos would suit our taste and budget. The only time I’d been overseas before was with the whole family: grandparents, parents, and siblings. I couldn't help being giddy and excitable.
We arrived in the morning around six-thirty and scorching hot air hit us when we stepped out of the plane. We grinned at each other before rushing into the baking sunshine. On our transfer coach, I felt over-dressed in that heat and after we were dropped off in Laguna, the main party strip, twenty of us sat in a lobby awaiting our representatives.
Two, Karl and Tara, eventually arrived and I could tell they were fun just by looking at them. Hyperactive didn’t cover it.
Our accommodation was at one end of the strip above the Eclipse nightclub. The room was basic but clean and we unpacked rapidly before clambering down from the room onto the strip. The beach was to the right, around twenty metres away. It was a golden sandy cove with gorgeous clear blue water. The strip — bars, tavernas, and small trinket stores — stretched into the distance and we walked to the end then halfway back before stopping for food and drink.
After eating, we continued back to the beach. Julie skipped through the sand, turning to smile at me. She looked amazing in a cropped vest and tartan miniskirt. Caught by the breeze, her skirt lifted slightly, exposing her fleshy white butt cheeks. I loved watching from the side, catching glimpses of her boobs swaying around. When she turned to face me, her protruding nipples made two delicious bumps in her vest, surely a sight to create a wet dream for any red-blooded male.
We’d arranged to meet the reps in the Eclipse club that evening and they produced a full itinerary. Some people didn’t attend but our group still numbered sixteen, mainly couples, and the night started with beer and shots. The craziness increased from bar to bar and the silly games got worse as inhibitions all but disappeared.
We became friendly with Jane and Sarah, two girls from Hull. They seemed in our age bracket and looked very sexy and game for a laugh. Julie wore a short jean skirt and white, cropped t-shirt. In fact, all three girls were similarly dressed and Jane was blonde while Sarah’s mousy curled hair was shoulder length.
Having reached the end of the strip, we crossed over the road to work back through the bars on the opposite side. The first was cowboy style, wooden everything. It was wild but not mega busy and, after we’d all ordered drinks, Karl shouted, "Dare time.”
The group cheered when he added, "First to bring me a bra gets a free bottle."
Jane whipped off her bra off and barged to the front, claiming her bottle. It was a litre of wine but it was passed around and disappeared quickly.
Next dares were kissing the same sex followed by swapping tops with a member of the opposite sex — and we lost. Julie said, "We need to up our game."
Tara shouted, "A bottle of champers for the first person to bring me a thong."
Julie and Jane scrambled to remove theirs, fleetingly exposing themselves at the same time. Julie's mousy pubes stood out under the dim light but Jane was shaved. Julie rushed to the front waving her white lace thong and Karl snatched it as Tara rewarded her with the champagne. Julie reached to retrieve her thong — but Karl tossed it into a group of lads.
They cheered and Julie returned disgruntled but saw the funny side when Jane tossed hers into the crowd, too. I felt a twitch in my groin thinking about mini-skirts and pussy but the champagne washed away those thoughts as we continued the games.
Struggling to stand, we were definitely too drunk to win any more prizes. We laughed watching others completing dares and then we staggered down the strip toward our apartment. We finally reached a nightclub across from our room. It was down an alley and apparently stayed open until seven in the morning.
