Chapter 105: I Know Who the Father Is

The deathly silence in the choir chamber was finally broken by Bjorn putting his hand up to ask something else about all that was happening.

“Um ... I was ... well ... I was just wondering what we are meant to do if we have entered the Pageant’s line-up ourselves? A few of us here have registered as participants but will that be compromised by any performing we do with the choir?”

“No, I don’t think it will matter” replied Sonika. “Our performances come before and after each show which shouldn’t interfere with you or anyone’s involvement as participants. The NTFLN were made aware of this factor too and they don’t see how it could compromise anything the judges decide on who wins what in the line-up. So I think you are safe their, Bjorn, and anyone else who has entered. Clarissa, you’ve entered the competition haven’t you and Marleen and Jock, you two have registered as well. Is that correct?”

Clarissa, Marleen and Jock all nodded in the affirmative with Marleen giving Clarissa’s breasts just under her blouse a naughty squeeze and saying, “We’ll knock ‘em dead with hooters like those. You just watch.”

Marleen then pushed up her own blouse and bra and waggled her bust at everyone making them all laugh before turning their attention back to Sonika.

Sonika laughed too but said, “OK, now Marleen. We’ll be seeing enough of those at the Beauty Pageant and also as we practise. If we are to perform in the nude then we will need to rehearse in the nude and also work out some sort of a wardrobe co-ordination regimen so we aren’t wearing the some old thing each time when we aren’t performing naked.”

Sonika then let everyone chat amongst themselves for a bit before closing the night with these final words, “OK, guys, that’s it for tonight. We will meet back here on Tuesday night, 7pm sharp, to begin the rehearsals in earnest. I also have a pile of song sheets I want you all to take home with you to look over and be ready to practise on Tuesday. Also I meant what I said about anyone having any reservations about performing naked in front of a large audience. Please come and see me tonight otherwise I will read it as your complicit agreement to performing naked for the NTFLN’s Teen Beauty Pageant. OK!”

Everyone nodded quietly as they slowly began packing up their belongings then heading for the exit door to be picked up by waiting parents or friends or in the case of some of the older ones to just drive themselves home.

As the room began to empty Jessie watched with interest to see if anyone would approach Sonika to discuss any reservations they might have or might have developed since that nude church performance. Fortunately she saw no one do this which didn’t surprise her at all. Since their adventures out at Camp Starkers and her mom’s wedding and that naked Sunday morning performance Jessie hadn’t heard one single objection coming from anyone about all this nudity stuff creeping more and more into the church. The anti-nudity group seemed to have been well and truly neutered and everyone seemed to be just accepting the nudity in their stride even though hardly any of them had registered as Certified Nudists or Clothing Optional Nudists. In fact a few of them, as far as Jessie knew, had just started doing what she had started to do and that was going nude or semi-nude when and where they felt like it and enjoying some of the sexual freedom that seemed to empower them with too. This trend was becoming known as Casual Nudism and seemed to be on the increase not just in Redsands, Georgia, but in other towns and states around the U S of A as well.

As Jessie Harper was heading for the door herself she couldn’t help noticing how she now felt just a little bit better about things compared to when she had come in. Having Bjorn by her side with his arm around her shoulder as they walked also helped to put her into just such a better mood. But it was a happy mood that was soon to be cut short and cut short by Bjorn Erikson himself!
