Well, I've been very successful in business over the last several years, making me relatively rich before my 40's. My wife, Jessica, who was my high school sweet heart has been with me every step of the way. She has acclimated well to our new success and works in several charities about town. She also remains flawlessly fit dancing in local productions and working out. I've never been one to flash wealth, but she dresses like she is the wife of Tiger Woods, and looks as good as Tiger's little blond nanny/wife.
She has been pressuring me to lead a charity trip to africa, taking supplies, helping the locals and such. She had a group of a dozen or more people from our town that she had lined up to go with us, mostly well to do couples like ourselves, many of them friends from our country club. I finally, under pressure, agreed to go, and we led the crew out for a week in the bush. Well, actually, we drove out to the villages by day and slept in a hotel in the city by night. The wives of this group are not really up for roughing it.
Finally our good work done, Jessica and I dressed for the trip home. She cleaned up in the hotel, donned her skinny jeans, knee high soft boots, a blouse from somebodies spring collection, (I forget who) and her Versaci sunglasses. I admit, she was smokin' hot. We met the dozen other do gooders in the lobby and the group of us, seven men, seven women, loaded into vans to the airport. When we got there, everything was going well despite the place being a complete dump. We dropped of the luggage and made our way past the randomly placed african airport guards (with machine guns) to the security check point.
The place was so backward that I was surprised that they even had a metal detector. Most of our party had gone thru and were waiting on us at the other side of the detector, we were the leaders after all. I went on with Jessica behind me. I made it through no problem, but the metal detector went off with Jessica. Of course, it always does. She had an operation as a kid after an injury and they had placed a small metal rod to fuse a few vertebra in her lower back. she always had to be "wanded".
Their response was rather shocking. A couple of armed guys, shouting in a language I didn't understand, rushed to Jessica. She was trying to explain about the childhood surgery, but they started roughly patting her down. I, and our group, were on the other side of the security checkpoint, no more than eight feet away, with nothing to separate up from Jessica except for the angry looking guards who's gun barrels came up when I took a step forward. It soon became apparent that they intended to search her, and our only interpreter was one of the guards who had only minimal English. After the rough pat down, the guard with some English demanded that she remove her shirt. Looks like "wanding" was not an option here. Jessica asked for a female guard, asked for a private room, but was not understood. The airport was so basic, that no adjoining room seemed to be present anyway.
Now, this was quite a spot to be in. Nothing I said had any effect on the guards keeping me on the other side of the metal detector, and our group of friends were staring with a mix of shock and anticipation and fear. Jessica, though very fit, has one insecurity. She hides her tiny A cups with gel inserts at all times, taking off her shirt in public would probably reveal her secret to our friends. Hopefully, she was wearing a miracle bra or something build in so it wouldn't be obvious. Clearly, she was going to have to comply with the increasing number of guards. They stopped processing people through security, so a crowd was waiting for resolution of the hold up. I and all of our friends stood, just feet away, helpless.
Jessica took off her glasses, and as they were yelling and gesturing, shakily unbuttoned her blouse. Her leopard print bra came into view, one with the built in gel inserts, and I actually breathed a sigh of relief. She wouldn't be too embarrassed, it was really like a bikini top. Not so bad. She set her blouse down and looked up at the guards expecting to be cleared. Apparently, the guard that knew a bit of english had brushed up on words for garments, because the next sentence was loud and clear. "The bra too!".
She stared in shock. Our coed group of friends from home, my golfing buddies, her fellow Junior Auxiliary members, people from our church, stared with muted excitement. She tried to argue, but the gun barrels came up on her side now and she reached for the front clasp. She turned away from us, toward the gathering crowd of people waiting to get through security, I guess thinking that she would rather expose her secret to strangers than all our friends. From behind, we saw the bra come off and fall to the ground. She stood wearing only her skinny jeans and boots, her smooth back toward us. The guard gestured for her to raise her hands and turn slowly 360 degrees for security inspection. She complied and her tiny A cups where completely flat with her hands in the air, her little pink areola, just over an inch in diameter, pointed at us when she turned to face us. She looked mortified. Believe me, all eyes were on her stark white, tiny boobs as she slowly spun for the guards. They then let her drop her hands, she placed her hands over her breasts immediately, and walked her through the metal detector again. Of course, it beeped again.
