Curt picked a hell of a night to take the evening off,

As the owner and general manager of Gisele’s Diner, a local restaurant named after his mother, he spent most nights working in said restaurant alongside his team, it’s where he was supposed to be tonight were it not for the insistence of his assistant manager for him to take the evening off and relax,

You see like all restaurants were after the lockdowns brought on by the spell, a mysterious infection that brought on permanent nudity with no known cure, Gisele’s Diner was struggling financially, with the general condition of the economy and their customer base getting smaller and smaller as people avoided public gatherings at the risk of getting infected, times were tough, and the stress was getting to Curt, which is why, instead of being at work when it happened he received the call after the fact while watching television.

Part of him thought it might have been a prank call, he hoped it was a prank call, but when he saw the red and blue flash of police lights against the sign painted on the window he knew it was true,

Upon pulling up to the restaurant he immediately picked his assistant manager out of the crowd talking to a police officer who was dressed in one of those full-body protective suits that everyone had considered buying for themselves at least once,

“Meg,” Curt said as he walked up to her and pulled her into a hug, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Meg nodded, hugging him back, “Both Nick and I got lucky,”

Meg had been at Gisele’s since the beginning, without her he doubted they would have lasted as long as they had, Nick was the head chef and Meg’s husband, both had been high-powered lawyers in their previous lives before, in their words, they had a case that ‘crossed too many lines’ and they decided to leave that life, move to small-town America and both get jobs at a little start-up diner run by a quarter century old kid who had no clue what he was doing,

Meg was an older woman, at least a decade his senior though she refused to disclose the specific number, you couldn’t tell by looking at her however, she looked like one of those lawyers you saw on TV, blonde with a perfectly sculpted face with only the most flattering of wrinkles and hourglass figures that made women half their age jealous.

“You’re the owner?” The office asked, as the two of them separated,

“I am,” Curt answered, “What the hell happened?”

“We’re still taking witness statements,” the officer explained, “But what we’ve gathered is that about forty-five minutes ago two infected suspects entered the restaurant from the north entrance wearing balaclavas to hide their faces, proceeded to infect a number of the customers and staff, and left out the back before they could be identified,”

“It wasn’t just two suspects,” Meg interrupted, clearly impatient with how vague the officer was being, “It was fucking Bonnie and Clyde,”

“Those people from the news?” Curt asked, “How do you know?”

“Blue and pink balaclavas?” Meg said, “Lady with a monarch butterfly tramp stamp, If it wasn’t them it was some pretty convincing copycats,”

“We can neither confirm nor deny,” the officer said hesitantly, “But yes that is the going theory,”

“Who’d they get?” Curt asked, turning to Meg as he decided she would give him more accurate information,

“They got Taylor, Brett and Jorge,” she said regretfully, “Plus at least four tables worth of customers, they’re just inside, come on,”

“Thank you,” Curt said to the officer as Meg led him into the restaurant, passing by a sign reading ‘No Nudies Allowed: All diners must be clothed’ which seemed tragically ironic given the circumstances.

Inside the restaurant cops were moving back and forth gathering the witness statements of twenty or so people around the restaurant, all clearly nude under the foil blankets the emergency services gave out,

Piles of shredded clothes were being swept up into garbage bags,

He passed through the small crowd of his, probably not repeat, customers towards his infected staff behind the register counter,

Taylor, one of the servers, and Brett, a member of the kitchen staff, were curled up on stools, trying their best to appear small and inconspicuous so no one would look at them,

Jorge, the other server, was taking a decidedly different approach, instead very loudly arguing with Nick, Meg’s husband and the head chef over in the kitchen,

“I’ll go see what that’s about,” Meg said, leaving Curt with his other two employees,

“Are you two okay?” He asked the pair,

Brett was visibly shaking, he was a recent graduate of a local culinary school and an even more recent hire, brought on by Nick in the hopes that some new ideas might drum up some more business,

Taylor was decidedly calmer, she was a considerably earlier hire than Brett, Curt’s first hire actually, having been brought on as a nineteen-year-old college student just before Meg and Nick got involved, Taylor was probably Curt’s oldest friend, being the only person willing to take a chance in joining such a fledgling business that might not be existed the next week, she continued to stay on well after she had gotten her degree in accounting, for a reason no one could quite determine but Curt very much appreciated, as she could help handle the books and, though he might be hesitant to admit it, he was developing a little bit of a schoolboy crush on her,

These feelings were being brought to the surface as he saw her hiding under the blanket, knowing that one of the few bodies on earth that could make you ignore Meg’s was exposed for the foreseeable future,

Her sweet freckled face surrounded by a plume of fiery red shoulder-length hair looked up at him, she had clearly been crying but her eyes were dry now.

“We’re fine,” she said hoarsely, “Aside from the obvious,”

“Do the police have anything?” Brett asked, his voice even weaker than Taylor’s,

“Not really,” Curt explained, “You know how these things go, unless they get their faces on camera they never catch these guys,”

“What are we gonna do Curt?” Taylor asked, her eyes welling up with tears again,

Curt hesitated to answer, he didn’t envy their position,

Before he could say anything Jorge burst out of the kitchen and into the main dining area turning all heads towards him in the process,

He didn’t seem to care, however. As he seemed to have forgone his foil blanket, leaving him entirely exposed to the room,

“You,” he said upon seeing Curt, “I wasn’t even supposed to be working tonight, I took this shift because you begged me to,”

Jorge was right of course, several employees had begun to notice the restaurant was failing and jumped ship for more secure work and Jorge was the only person Curt could get to cover a shift at such short notice,

“Jorge, I...,” Curt began,

“Save it,” Jorge interrupted, “As far as I’m concerned this is your fault, I quit,”

Before Curt could get another word out Jorge stormed out of the building.

Eventually, the police released the scene and let people go home, Curt, deciding he needed time to think, told Meg he would lock up, and he sat in his office thinking that this would be the final nail in the coffin for his restaurant until he fell asleep.

He woke to the sound of his phone buzzing with several notifications, as soon as he wiped the sleep from his eyes he opened the emails they were linked to,

“Damn it,” he cursed as he put his head in his hands,

“What’s the issue?” Meg asked as she walked into his office with a cup of coffee in each hand, “Surely it can’t be any worse than last night,”

“You’re right,” Curt sighed, “Last night was a gunshot wound, this morning we just flatlined,”

“I’m not sure I’m following the metaphor,” Meg admitted,

“I just got half a dozen resignation emails,” Curt explained, “There goes our staff,”

“What? Who?” Meg demanded as Curt handed her his phone,

She took a moment to flip through the emails,

“Oh, those cowards,” she spat before becoming distracted by something else, “You have a lot of tabs open,”

“Give me that,” Curt said, taking his phone back and slipping it into his pocket, “But you see what I mean, we have no savings, we have no staff, and we’re probably on page one of every newspaper in the area,”

“Page two actually,” Meg explained, “There was a bombing at a foreign embassy,”

“Well at least there’s some good news,” Curt sighed,

“You know,” Meg said, thinking aloud, “I noticed some names missing from those letters,”

“You and Nick?” Curt said with a faint smile, “Thanks for sticking around,”

“No kidding, we’re your parasites, you couldn’t get rid of us with anything short of a tomahawk missile,” Meg joked, “But that wasn’t who I was talking about, I didn’t see Taylor or Brett on that list,”

“It was a big night for them,” Curt excused, “Maybe they’re sleeping in, no way we hear from either of them again,”

“Excuse me,” Taylor said, knocking on the open door of his office and making them both jump,

“Taylor?” Curt said as Meg backed away from the door to let her in safely, “What are you doing here?”

The last thing he needed was a harassment lawsuit, but you would’ve had to have been chemically castrated or gay to not stare at Taylor’s newly exposed body, naturally one’s eyes would follow the freckles flowing from her face, down her neck and nestling in between her perfectly shaped c cup breasts dotted with perky little nipples, and since one had already a made their way down that far they might as well continue to look down her flat stomach to catch an eyeful of her closely maintained red pubic hair between a pair of soft inviting thighs,

Curt had always imagined what she looked like naked, but what he saw was beyond his wildest dreams,

“I came down to make sure you guys were okay,” Taylor explained, smiling at the feeling of Curt’s eyes on her more intimate areas,

“Make sure we were okay?” Meg questioned, “Sweetie we weren’t the ones infected with the goddamn spell and walking around in the buff a day later, what are you doing here?”

“I’m...,” Taylor hesitated, “I’m here to ask if I still have a job,”

“We barely have a restaurant anymore,” Curt explained, “I’m pretty sure last night scared off any customers we have left,”

“Hold on,” Meg said, reaching over to Curt’s desk and opening his laptop, immediately unlocking it and going to Google,

“Since when do you know my password?” Curt asked,

“I know everyone’s password,” Meg answered as she continued her search, “Alright so get this, the nearest restaurant that allows Nudies as patrons is over an hour away from the city,”

“You wanna make this a nudie joint?” Curt questioned,

“I’m not even going that far,” Meg said, “We just take the sign out of the window and be the only restaurant in town that lets nudies in the front door, tap into a huge untapped market, possibly save the restaurant and let Taylor keep her job, it’s win win win,”

“Three wins sounds good to me,” Taylor enthusiastically agreed,

Both women looked at Curt expectantly,

“Are you sure about this?” He asked Meg,

“We have nothing to lose,” Meg answered,

He looked over at Taylor,

“Come on Curt,” She begged,

Seeing no other option, and wanting every opportunity to see Taylor naked in the future, Curt silently nodded in agreement,

“That’s a good man,” Meg cheered, patting him on the shoulder,

“But listen,” Curt said, “If we’re gonna do this, we’re gonna have to open tonight, we can’t afford to lose the Friday dinner rush, Meg I need you to put your lawyer hat on and figure out what standards we have to meet to host nudies, Taylor, I need you to get the word out, social media, newspaper ad, anything on short notice, now if you’ll excuse me, I need to hire another server and someone to replace Brett,”

“Why don’t you leave that to me?” Taylor offered, stepping out the door before Curt could say no, “Gimme an hour, you just do your normal manager stuff for now,”

“I remember when I looked like that,” Meg reminisced as soon as Taylor left earshot, “Only difference was I shaved,”

Curt looked up at Meg with a raised eyebrow.

Curt was wiping down the counter when a young woman approached from the other side,

She was a rather pretty girl, with a jet black pixie cut, pale skin, a nose piercing and a low-cut black tank top showing off an impressive amount of cleavage,

“Can I help you?” Curt asked her,

“I can certainly help you,” She smiled, “I’m Becca, Taylor’s friend, she says you need another server, I’m your girl,”

“Oh right, of course,” he remembered, extending his hand over the counter to shake hers, “I’m Curt, the owner,”

“I know,” Becca said, looking him up and down, “Taylor’s told me a lot about you,”

“What do you mean by...” Curt began before the front door swung open,

“Becca!” Taylor cheered as she walked through the front door, “You came!”

“Of course, I did,” Becca smiled, her eyes widened as she turned towards her friend, “Holy shit girl, look at those things, you’ve been holding out on us,”

“Where’d you disappear to?” Curt asked,

“Someone’s in trouble,” Becca teased,

“I was off getting our replacement for Brett,” Taylor explained as the front door opened once again and Brett himself walked through, diligently covering his crotch with his hands which became much harder, pun intended, the longer he looked at Taylor and especially once he noticed Becca,

“Brett,” Curt said, “You’re back!”

“Taylor made a compelling argument,” Brett admitted,

“She did, did she?” Becca remarked,

“Oh, how rude of me,” Taylor remembered, “Becca this is Brett, Brett this is my friend, Becca,”

“Nice to meet you,” Brett said, absentmindedly extending one of his hands for her to shake,

“A pleasure,” Becca said, keeping her hands by her sides but finding his attempt amusing,

“Becca’s gonna be our new server,” Taylor announced,

“Hold on,” Curt interrupted, “Nothing has been decided yet,”

“Who’s our new server?” Meg asked as she walked in carrying a large box with Nick closely behind her doing the same,

“This is my friend, Becca,” Taylor introduced,

“Hey Becca,” Nick greeted as he and Meg placed their boxes on the counter, “Welcome to the team,”

“Oh, I haven’t been officially hired yet,” Becca explained in a somewhat sarcastic tone as if she was mocking Curt,

“Can you take down orders?” Meg asked,

“Naturally,” Becca answered,

“Can you carry trays?”

“Last I checked,”

“Can you force a smile?”

“Depends on how much you’re paying me,”

“She’ll be fine,” Meg assured Curt as she began to rifle through the boxes, “So I read up on the regulations and there are three things we need, number one,”

She pulled out a roll of wax paper,

“They use this stuff in doctor’s offices,” Meg explained, “Unless the customer brings a towel to sit on this needs to go over the seats, for obvious sanitary reasons, second is temperature, we can’t very well have our nudies freezing to death so we have to keep it above a certain temperature, and finally, and perhaps most awkwardly,”

She pulled a razor and a can of shaving cream out of the box and placed them on the counter,

“We can’t very well have our pubic hairs ending up in someone’s food,” Meg reasoned, “Can we?”

Taylor and Brett looked down at the cans with the ever-so-slightest hint of caution,

“Becca,” Curt said, looking for an opportunity to leave, “Why don’t we go sign your contract?”

“Good idea,” She agreed, following him into his office.

The restaurant had a boilerplate contract template at the ready so they could quickly take on new staff, and after a few strokes of the pen Becca was an official member of the team,

“Welcome to Gisele’s,” Curt said as the two shook hands,

“Thank you, I won’t let you down,” Becca assured him, “I suppose all that’s left is to get into uniform,”

“There isn’t much of a uniform,” Curt said, turning his back to her to open a box at the back of the room and pull out an apron, “What you’re wearing now will be...”

His voice trailed off as he turned back towards Becca, who was already pulling off her shorts before he could finish talking, revealing she had worn no panties that day as well as her rather untamed bush that stared him right in the face,

“Here, you can keep those,” she said, tossing the shorts on his desk, “I don’t need them anymore,”

“What are you doing?” Curt asked once he collected his thoughts,

“I’ve been looking for a job I can do as a nudie for weeks,” Becca explained as she reached for the hem of her shirt, “I was thrilled when I got the call from Taylor,”

She swiftly pulled her shirt over her shoulders, causing her wavy d-cup breasts to flop down with newfound naked freedom,

“All that’s left to do is shave,” she smile, turning on her heel and giving Curt a great view of her large bouncing ass as she left the room, “Hey Taylor, you got competition!”

Curt looked down at the tent that had formed in his pants and sighed, for he knew this had the potential to be the longest evening of his life.

They had just barely gotten everything ready by the time they officially opened and the first customers arrived, Meg and Nick had a bet on whether or not the first customers would be clothed or not,

Nick made twenty bucks when a young couple in their finest evening wear, but Meg then ended up making forty when Taylor ended up talking them out of their clothes before their drinks showed up, giving each a handshake before their bill arrived,

As the night went on they had almost exclusively nudie customers, with those who weren’t already usually tossing the scraps of their clothes in a bin Meg left by the door for just such an occasion before they left,

Curt sat behind the counter, watching Taylor and Becca, having both since shaved, going from table to table, strutting their stuff from the kitchen and back, both winking at him as he sat back, marvelling at how full his restaurant was, while trying to pretend he wasn’t looking at any of the exposed women, not least of all Taylor,

“We haven’t been this full since opening night,” he remarked to Meg as she came up to use the cash register,

“Untapped market,” she smiled, “What did I tell you?”

“I’m never doubting you again,” Curt assured her,

“You’re just deciding that now?” Meg questioned, “You must not have been paying attention,”

“Damn we’re full,” Becca remarked as she walked up to the counter, leaning forwards so her large breasts just barely brushed the edge,

“Well like I just said to Curt,” Meg said, “Untapped market,”

“No, I mean the tip jar,” Becca explained, “We have another one somewhere?”

Curt thought for a moment,

“There might be something in the back,” he said, walking out from behind the counter and entering the kitchen with Becca following him, dropping off a new order as Curt rooted through the closet for a larger container,

“Brett was it?” Becca asked as she hung around the kitchen,

“Yeah,” Brett said, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice,

“I see you stopped trying to hide that thing,” Becca said, nodding to his still erect penis that he was no longer trying to hide, “It’s good to see it, we ladies like some eye candy too,”

“Order up!” Nick interrupted, placing a plate on the ledge in front of Becca,

“You’re no fun Nick,” Becca pouted,

“I’m plenty fun, miss,” Nick argued, “Just not during the dinner rush, scoot,”

Curt eventually found a suitable bucket and brought it to the front counter, emptying the top jar into the bucket and then placing the bucket under the counter for safekeeping,

“Having fun?” Curt overheard Meg ask Taylor as the two took a breather by the cash register,

“Oh, a little,” Taylor admitted with a giggle,

“You seem to be driving those boys insane,” Meg remarked, nodding to a group of college guys in the corner booth who seemingly refused to take their eyes off of Taylor’s body.

Curt couldn’t blame them,

“So what if I am?” She smiled, ever so slightly bending over and moving her feet apart,

“Enjoy it while you can dear,” Meg warned, “Because sooner than later you’re going to be my age and that all goes away,”

“Wait, what are you talking about?” Taylor asked with genuine confusion,

“I’m talking about the inevitability of time,” Meg sighed, beginning to sound a little depressed, “And how sooner or later men stop wanting to see you naked,”

“I don’t believe that for a second,” Taylor objected, “Listen, they may be staring at Becca and me right now but that’s just because we’re naked, I’m sure if you stripped down right now they would be staring at you as much as us,”

“Sure they would,” Meg said, rolling her eyes at the very thought, Taylor sighed and went back to work, stopping in between tables to whisper something in Becca’s ear, both ladies smiled with overcharged excitement.

About five minutes later both ladies sat shoulder to shoulder at the counter in front of Meg grinning at her,

“Can I help you, ladies?” Meg asked,

“Everyone, can I have your attention!” Taylor called out to the whole restaurant, since half their eyes were already on her it didn’t take long for the other half to follow suit, “We wanted to thank you for coming out to support us on our grand reopening night!”

Several of the patrons took a moment to cheer,

“Now, you’ve made it no secret that you’ve loved peeping at the two of us tonight,” Becca said as the cheers died down, “And for the record, we’ve loved peeping at all of you,”

“But I’m sorry to say, not all of us have as much fun,” Taylor said, continuing the speech as Becca took a step back, standing in the doorframe between the dining area and the kitchen, “Everyone I’d like you to meet our assistant manager, Meg,”

“Taylor, what are you doing?” Meg asked in a low whisper only those behind the counter could hear,

“Now Meg here is one of the best women I know, without her this restaurant wouldn’t be standing, and we wouldn’t all be here tonight,” Taylor continued, “Yet despite being one of the most wonderful women in the world she’s feeling self-conscious tonight, she’s gotten the idea in her silly little head that being an ever so slightly older woman than Becca and I means no one here wants to see her naked,”

“Taylor!” Meg almost shouted as her personal fears were revealed,

“Now I want you to take a good long look at her, don’t mind the clothes,” Taylor continued, much to her friend’s objection, “And we’re gonna do a little poll, how many of you do NOT want to see Meg naked?”

Not a single hand went up,

“Now how many of you DO want to see Meg naked?”

Every single hand shot up,

“Well the people have spoken,” Taylor said turning back towards Meg,

“Okay,” Meg said, barely containing a smile, “You’ve made your point, thank you, Taylor, let’s get back to work, Kay?”

Meg turned around to walk towards the kitchen, but she stopped when she saw Becca still blocking the door with an evil grin on her face,

“Excuse me,” Meg said, looking very confused,

“Perhaps you weren’t paying attention,” Taylor said forcefully, “The people have spoken, we want you naked,”

“What are you-?” Meg began to ask, foolishly turning her back to Becca, who immediately upon seeing her blindside grabbed the shoulders of her jacket and pulled them down her arms,

With Meg’s arms restricted Taylor was free to undo Meg’s belt and pull down her jeans, purposely leaving her panties on for later,

Meg shouted unconvincing objections the whole time,

Taylor then made her way to the top half of Meg’s body and ripped open her blouse, spilling the buttons all over the floor,

“Sorry,” Taylor apologized, “But look at it this way, you’re not gonna need buttons in a few seconds,”

All Meg could do now was grunt in protest as her shirt was pushed down her arms to bunch around her ensnared wrists, giving everyone in the restaurant a good look at her unmentionables,

“You know what?” Taylor said turning back towards the restaurant that was watching with bated breath, “I think I’ll cut to the chase,”

Without a moment hesitation Taylor reached up and placed her hand on Meg’s flat tummy, infecting her with the spell,

The crowd roared as the jacket and shirt were pulled off Meg’s wrists, finally allowing her freedom as her bra and panties began to thin,

Meg was smiling harder than Curt had ever seen her smile before as her bra straps began to loosen,

Finally fully on board with everything Meg took a bow and when she straightened back up her bra was gone, on the floor in tatters, revealing breasts that, while still showing the realities of age, were still perky and enticing b cups that everyone struggled to look away from,

Finally, all that was left were her panties, and in keeping with the theatrics of the whole night, Meg turned her back to the crowd and bent over as she pulled her last article of clothing off her well-toned ass,

Once again the crowd cheered as she turned to reveal her bare pussy,

Taylor immediately put an arm around her,

“Doesn’t that feel better?” She asked,

Curt’s erection threatened to burst out of his pants as another one of his co-workers and oldest friends became a nudie in his restaurant,

“Um, excuse me,” One of the college guys from the corner booth called out, “Can we get another round of hot wings brought to us by the hot blonde lady?”

“Yes, you can!” Meg grinned, her attitude having completely changed from five minutes ago as she waltzed past Becca and into the kitchen,

“We need another round of hot wings for table three,” She announced to the kitchen, standing in full view for either of the two to see her were they not already preoccupied with other tasks,

“Coming right...” Brett trailed off as he looked up, his eyes locked straight onto her breasts, “Oh shit,”

“Meg!” Nick cried out upon looking up himself, “What happened?”

“It’s very simple actually,” Meg smiled as she saw a bump form in the middle of Nick’s apron, “I look good naked, so I’m naked, you gonna keep asking questions or are you gonna take off your pants so I can shave you while Brett gets me my hot wings,”

Nick hesitated for a moment,

“Fuck it,” he grunted, pulling off his apron and undoing his fly,

He must’ve been going too slow for Meg because he didn’t make it five seconds before she marched over to him and started pulling off his clothes for him,

At the precise moment when she reached up and grabbed his exposed penis to infect him, Curt decided he had enough of watching his friends get naked and silently excused himself to his office, closing the door and pulling out a bottle of whiskey, pouring himself a glass,

This was not how he thought his day would start when he woke up to a stack of resignation letters, it occurred to him that he might be the last clothed person in his restaurant,

He poured himself another drink,

His restaurant, a restaurant named after his mother was now going to be a place forever associated with naked people,

That was going to be hard to explain to her.

He poured himself a third drink.

When he downed that last glass he got up and walked over to the window that looked out into the dining room, a window that was covered in a one-way mirror allowing him to watch the restaurant without anyone noticing on the other side,

He watched as Meg came out of the kitchen with her hot wings and brought them over to the college guy’s table, to which they thanked her with a gentle slap on the ass, which she playfully scolded them for,

Taylor then came up right in front of the window to use the cash register, the two were less than a foot apart, separated only by a pane of glass,

He decided to pour another drink to calm himself down,

“I finally found a downside to being a nudie server,” Becca began as she walked into view of the window,

“What’s the issue?” Taylor asked, emptying the once again full tip jar into the bucket below,

“I have ketchup on my boob,” Becca whined, raising her arm to show her,

“Probably not going to be the last time this happens,” Taylor reasoned, “Just wipe it off,”

“Better idea,” Becca said, “Why don’t I go ask Brett to lick it off,”

“Make sure you wait until after closing,” Taylor chuckled, “That poor boy has been primed to explode since I showed up at his front door this morning, anyway you don’t have time, I think table six needs something,”

“Hold on, let me deal with this,” Becca said, turning towards the mirror and using the reflection to find the ketchup smear,

Curt’s eyes went wide as he watched her squish and manipulate her sizeable breasts in search of the stain, which she was able to eventually find and wipe off with her fingers,
