"Be sure to lock up tonight, Alexis. Don't leave it open like last time," said Ben in a more passive-aggressive tone than usual as he stepped out the store, satchel in hand.
"I will, Ben. See ya Monday!" replied Alexis rather impertinently herself, as she turned her head up mechanically in the barest of acknowledgements, not even bothering to return eye contact to her boss. She hadn't planned on being particularly nice to anyone, what with this job being a favor a family friend helped her land after graduating in fine arts half a year back.
Of course, Ben had his own reasons for being a little more than slightly peeved at Alexis, and her lack of work ethic in closing the other day after discovering the shutter had been left open till morning. Luckily for Alexis, nothing was stolen - not that anyone would (a) be able to get into the mall after the main gates were locked or (b) would they want to steal anything from that lousy, scentsy candle shop she worked at.
Alexis played it off as an honest mistake. What she didn't mention, however, was the real reason that shutter was open in the first place, and this time she planned on doing it right without any mistakes.
By now, she'd memorized the patterns of the night security guy who was especially zealous in ensuring the mall was locked up properly. After months of observation, Alexis deduced the only feasible way she could have the mall by herself was by staying in the store before closing and having the mall to herself when all was clear, while carefully avoiding the guard's watch - especially important, considering she would be skulking about the place in less than acceptable dressing.
Her previous attempt got botched after the store shutter zipped up on its own, leaving Alexis in a panic trying to retrieve her clothes while trying not to get spotted by the guard who heard the clattering around the corner and came rushing back to investigate - giving her just enough time to clear off with her stuff.
The 26-year-old curvaceous brunette was at this point an expert at maintaining her 'Plain Jane' mask, though, so no one - not even close friends and certainly not no one in her conservative family - really expected a girl like her to have such an unconventional addiction of stripping in public. So when she clocked in the next day no one really suspected her of anything other than being the lazy worker she was known for, which she thanked the stars for when Ben decided not to check the cameras.
And just like clockwork at 11 p.m., the mall lights switched off and as practiced in so many trial runs rehearsed prior, she made sure she was the last person in the mall before commencing her "mission". After one last look around outside the store, she decided it was time.
The first thing to do was to close that damned shutter before the guard came round on his beat. After that was for Alexis to get ready in the backroom so that said guard wouldn't notice any activity in the store itself, as well as having a safe spot for her to hide in case anything went wrong.
"Come on... Where are you?" she murmured to herself, looking out through the store windows for any sign of the guard, her hand gripped tightly on the backroom door handle ready to move out.
Soon enough, a beam from a flashlight soon broke the darkness of the store and almost shone directly on Alexis' face before she quickly ducked down, still looking out the window at the passing guard as he did his round.
By now, Alexis knew he had already locked the main entrances and was on his first perimeter check before he'd retire to the lounge up till the next hour or so, giving her more than enough time to have fun. With the time being ripe, she went into the backroom and began taking off all her clothes. Usually, it felt automatic given the amount of times she's stripped herself... but something about tonight gave her a certain apprehension.
"Fuck it. I've waited too long. Can't stop now..." she thought as she steeled herself for the task ahead and before finally pulling down her panties, now standing completely nude.
After waiting a while longer for the guard to walk ahead, Alexis stepped out into the store again, the canopy of darkness offering her some cover from the eyes in her mind; an audience she was not able to see but in her vulnerable state felt as though she was on a stage. Which was, at this time, not too unfamiliar a feeling but one novel enough that still gave her a high.
Her focus was almost broken by the realization of how naked she was in how public a place she was; her 34C breasts hanging as she crouched, knocking into each other like pendulums; her round bubble butt a friend once complimented as drool-worthy bouncing as she ran up to the shutter. Before long, she quickly summoned her attention back to the task at hand.
With one last lookabout outside through the window Alexis was convinced she was virtually alone now and pulled up that clunky shutter slowly and quietly as she could manage, crawling under the tiny opening.
As the sole of her foot touched the warmer marble of the mall floor she was quickly reminded how hot it could get after they switched off the mall's a/c each night and prepared herself mentally for what would be one hot sweaty night. When she eventually crawled all the way through the hot, stuffy air enveloped her clammy naked skin.
"Damn it's hot. At least I'm 'dressed' for the occasion," she thought to herself.
