You arrive on the trade show floor looking lovely in a black skirt and patterned knee-high stockings with boots and a black v-neck top, just plunging enough to show a little of your "decorative". I smile at the remembrance of one of our auto-correct funnies. You're also wearing the spider and the hoops, which makes my heart skip a little beat. Your hair is up and back, highlighting the hoops. There are some tendrils of hair against your neck, which drops my blood pressure a few notches. You couldn't look more perfect if I had told you exactly what to wear. Which of course I didn't, since you have absolutely no idea that I'm here.
You pass within 10 feet of me (cleverly mostly concealed behind the pipe and drape of another booth). You're in a hurry because your super-early morning flight arrived just an hour before the show. You're also in a huff because Zack sent you to the show last minute, and by yourself. 2 days in Vegas all alone. You know some industry people at the show, of course, but no one you'd want to hang out with. All in all pretty huff-worthy.
Because it was last minute, your "fancy" booth consists of just a high table, draped with the fancy blue fabric that also forms the backdrop. The Bicycling logo is hanging at the back of the booth. You slide your purse under the table, open the overnighted box, spread out some magazines, put out the fishbowl for people's cards (grand prize: a super-nice bike (which you don't even have a picture of), Runners-up: Free Subscription for a Year!), some flyers with advertising rates and such. A pretty sad little display. Not improving your mood.
The attendees haven't come in yet, but some of the exhibitors are milling around. A guy you know from another mag stops to chat. Then another guy, from Clif. You perk up a little, putting on your brave face. It's going to be a long day for you, with no real breaks. My poor mouse.
I check my fake badge and work order and pick up my toolbox. Kitty pounces. I walk over purposefully, from slightly behind you as you're chatting.
"Are you Ms. Marsden?"
You turn and go white as a ghost...I'm afraid you might pass out. Your eyes bulge a little, and you stammer, "Yes..." You can't break character in front of your customers, despite how flabbergasted you are at my presence. It's all I can do not to laugh.
"I think there's a problem with the electrical for your booth. Sorry about that. I hope it hasn't been an inconvenience. I just need to check a couple of things, but wanted to let you know so you didn't wonder about who's behind the curtain."
"Yes...of course." you manage to get out.
"Sorry to disturb you."
I walk quickly to the back of your booth and disappear behind the curtain. You rejoin the conversation, glancing frequently back to where I went through...wanting desperately to find out what the hell I'm doing. I watch you from a gap (not the one I went in), biding my time. The guys finish yapping and say their goodbyes, heading off to their booths. You practically sprint to the curtain and pull it aside, looking left and right. I'm not there. You almost think you hallucinated me. You hurry back to
your purse and get out your phone, dialing my number. I let it go to voicemail...I'll reveal my other surprises on my own time.
You look around...so frustrated. You're not having an easy morning. I'm hoping to improve it for you. Considerably. You text me. The announcement comes over the loudspeaker "The show floor will open in 5 minutes." You say "Dammit!" out loud, grab your purse, and stomp off to the ladies' to have a quick pee before the masses arrive.
I kick into phase 2 of my plan. I quickly walk up to the back of your table, have a quick look around to make sure no one's watching, then duck under. I set my toolbox down and unfold the little low chair I had hidden under there. It's actually a whimsically decorated (sea shells and cartoonish crabs) beach chair, which makes me chuckle. I plan on spending a long time under your table, hence the chair. I open the toolbox and slip a couple of things out and into my pocket. For later.
You return from the loo, toss your purse under the table again (without looking...whew), and call and text me again. Fortunately, you don't hear my phone vibrating in my pocket. I hear the attendees start to come in through the doors.
Since yours is such a popular rag (how pissed off you get when I call it that...), I'm counting on a steady flow of visitors to your booth. Non-stop would be ideal for my plan. Kitty has plans to toy with mouse...devious plans. I bide my time...comfy enough in my silly chair. So far everything's working to perfection.
I wait several more minutes, then lightly brush your knee with a little bit of the drape. You don't seem to notice, so I do it a little harder. You look down and see my hand and bend down quickly and peek under the table...
"What the fuck!?"
"No time to explain now, mouse...you have a busy day minding the booth, don't you?"
"Goddamnit. Are you out of your fucking mind?"
"Quite possibly, my sweet. Quite possibly."
You glance up and see someone walking into your booth. You've seen him at shows before...an inveterate yapper. A bike geek who knows a bunch of the magazine people and always spends an inordinate amount of time boring the booth staff. I don't know this, of course, but it ends up being perfect for me. And not bad for you, either.
"Fuck you!" you whisper loudly, then stand up to greet the douchebag. Always professional, you. I hadn't counted on you being so pissed off, but you're having a shitty day, and my surprise is a little much. Yikes.
I can hear you talking to the guy. Sensing your frustration. He really does sound like a blowhard.
I'm ready to begin.
I reach out through the gap and lightly grab your knees and pull you towards me. You resist, but I pull harder, and you have to comply or you risk looking like you're having some kind of "needing to pee" issue or something. You step forward, so your waist is against the table...no one can see any lower than that. Your hand snakes down next to your leg and gives me the finger. I reach out and grab it, but you jerk it away. Still angry.
I reach out and start to caress your left knee. You jump a little and start to pull away, but I grab you just in time and keep you there. You're having to concentrate on chatting with the (now) 3 people in the booth.
I rub a little harder...more of a massage now. Running my finger against the back of your knee. I pull one hand back, suck on my finger, then run it against the back of your knee again. This is going to be fun.
I move my hands up just a little. Slightly past the hem of your skirt, and rub a little, then switch and give your other knee the same treatment. You're still trapped by customers, which are getting more numerous as the foot traffic filters back from the entrance. You keep having to describe the bike, getting more and more steamed that they didn't have the foresight to ship the bike, or at least send a picture along with you. You're trapped, little mouse. Caught in a mousetrap.
I run my fingernails up the inside of both of your thighs...all the way up. Or, well almost all the way. I hear you pause your patter just for a moment, then resume. I run them back down, a little rougher, probably leaving little scratch marks. I love the thought of those red lines on your white thighs.
I'm enjoying this quite a bit.
