Julia stood on the porch fully nude, looking uncertain, fearful, but exhilarated.
"Yeah!" Lara exclaimed. "Wooo!"
"Oh my God!" Julia said, folding her arms. "Let go, hurry!"
Lara grabbed Julia's hand. The two girls ran and skipped towards the grove of oaks. They passed through through tall grasses and stems of flowers across the property until they disappeared into the trees.
The stream was still flowing with an abundance of rushing water in the direction of the bridge. It's rush echoed through the oak trees.
Tiptoeing along the water's edge, the two stopped to listen to its rush collaborating with the sound of leaves blowing in the breeze.
"Come on!" Lara invited.
The two followed the stream down towards the bridge.
"Isn't is beautiful in here?" Lara asked.
"Yeah!" Julia answered
Lara held out her hand again, Julia took it once more. The two girls continued walking on, towards the bridge
"I love the sound of the water! I could just live right here." Lara exclaimed, clutching Julia's hand and swinging it to and fro. Julia laughed.
When the bridge came into view, they spotted a beam of sunshine breaking through an opening in the tree canopy. They walked towards it.
"Ahh! The sun feels nice!" Julia remarked as the two stood by the bridge.
Lara let go of Julia's hand and tiptoed towards the water to feel. It was chilly. But yet she dared to walk into the flowing water, walking carefully on the smoothed rocks below.
"Hey, come on in!" Lara yelled out.
"Isn't it cold?" Julia answered.
"It's OK. Come on!"
Julia walked down to the edge of the stream, when Lara reached into the water and threw a handful of water at her.
"Ahh!" Julia screamed out. "It's cold!"
"Come on! Let's go into the water!" Lara beckoned.
Lara walked into the middle of the stream, and crouched down until the water was up to her belly. She felt cold, but she didn't want to show it. She leaned back and put her hands into the water behind her, and then kicked her feet out to sit down in the water. The heavy flow of water splashed itself against her back and got her hair wet. Lara leaned back some more until the top of her head was completely wet.
Julia remained on the bank, watching her, admiring Lara's carefree attitude. Despite all that Lara had been through in her life, Lara still seemed more innocent than she. Julia wandered into the water, balancing herself carefully on the smooth rocks below until she reached Lara's side. Lara looked up at her and giggled, and then touched Julia's calf. Julia lowered herself just as Lara had done, but couldn't help muttering out a shriek when the water touched her butt.
"You gotta just do it in one motion. It's the only way." Lara said.
"It's cold!"
"Just sit right down, and you'll get used to it."
It took a couple of attempts, but Julia finally lowered herself as Lara suggested, and then took in a deep breath as the cold water rose up to her belly.
"Ahh!" Julia shrieked again.
Several minutes later, Julia finally found herself sitting down in the stream next to Lara, under the sunshine and fully nude. It was unlike anything she had ever done. But she felt excited.
"This reminds me of those paintings of nymphs bathing in the forests." Julia noted.
"Yeah!" Lara answered. "I guess that's what we are now!"
