PART 1
"UGH....this carpet looks disgusting!" Jessica muttered to herself as she set her suitcase down on the small luggage rack in her room.
This was her least favorite part of the new job...the travel. Specifically the hotel stays!! Who knows what filth exists on the floors, let alone, the bed. That thought sent a shiver down her spine. She knew that in just a few short hours, she would need to be IN that bed, trying to get a solid night's sleep before her big presentation in the morning. Given all the recent bed bug outbreaks -- Jess knew that sleep would not come easy. She was a total germ-o-phobe as it was. Add in the potential for bed bugs...and well...
She was not, however, completely unprepared. In anticipation for this hotel stay, Jess had done some reading on the Internet about bed bugs and how to avoid them. She planned to take all the necessary precautions, like hanging her clothes in the closet, and not putting anything on the bed or floor.
She had also stumbled upon a preventative method for lice that could also potentially ward off bed bugs. The article she read talked about using a shampoo and soap that contained the herb Rosemary. Supposedly, Rosemary was either deadly, or smelled bad, to head lice -- so if you used soap and shampoo that were Rosemary based, you would greatly reduce your chances of contracting lice.
Jess decided that bed bugs were close enough to lice. So she went out and found some soap and shampoo that fit the bill, and had planned to take a loooong shower before bed to protect herself as much as she possibly could.
So for the next 30 minutes, Jess unpacked everything she had in her suitcase, and hung it in the room's large, almost walk in closet. She had requested the largest closet in the hotel, knowing that she would most certainly NOT be placing any of her things in the dresser drawers, or on the bed itself. Bed bugs don't live in the open air, per se, so the closet was the safest place to hang clothes to keep them bug-free.
When every last article of her clothing hung in the closet, Jess started to undress, and hang the clothes she wore as well.
It was then that she realized what she had forgotten.
"Shit! My slippers! Oh no...I left them at home..." she lamented as she realized that disturbing little fact.
There was NO WAY she would walk barefoot on these filthy carpets. Without her slippers though, she'd have to wear other shoes when in the room. All she had with her was a pair of black heels (that she had on), and another pair of more formal heels that she would be wearing in the morning.
She sighed as she peeled off her pants OVER her shoes....not an easy task. She then pulled down and slid her skimpy bikini panties off over the heels as well. She hung her bra and panties on the bathroom door handle, and the rest of her clothes in the closet.
Everything now safely hanging and away from nasty, dirty surfaces, Jess took her new shampoo and soap into the bathroom -- her heels clicking on the tiled floor. She got the water going, and stepped out of her shoes and into the shower.
The Rosemary smell took a little getting used to...but Jess spent a solid 20 minutes under the water, making sure that every square, naked inch of her was washed thoroughly.
Satisfied with the result, she toweled off, then stepped out of the shower and back into her shoes. She grabbed her bra and panties from the bathroom door handle then walked over to the closet and used her towel to open the door again, not wanting to come in direct contact with the handle. She pulled a bit hard and the door flung open. Jess teetered a bit on her heels, and actually had to take a step forward to steady herself, her panties dropping from her grip as she did.
"Huh?" she said out loud as she realized that she was now looking at the doorway across the hall from hers. She had accidentally opened the door to her room instead of her closet door! They looked exactly the same, due to the fact that the larger closets in this hotel required larger doors -- coincidentally sized and painted the same as the room doors!
Jess gasped and let out a little squeal as the realized that she was now standing naked, in heels, in full view of anyone in the hallway. Luckily, no one was out there.
Unluckily, that heavy room door was making a bee-line for Jessica's big, full, round sexy, bouncy and very naked rear.
SMACK!
"Ooooopss!!"
The force of the bump was just enough to cause another step forward, out into the hallway.
CLICK!
"Oh...no. Oh God...no..."
The dark green door loomed in front of her like a giant block of steel. She weakly reached out (with the towel of course) and tried the handle...but it was locked.
Naked. In the hallway.
She quickly came somewhat to her senses and started to wrap the towel around her voluptuous form. The towel was not completely up to the task. Jess filled out EVERYTHING she wore, and this towel was no exception. Her bigger than big boobs (as her roommate Karen often called them) proved to be too large of an impedance for her to get the towel to wrap all the way around herself.
"Oh great....stupid boobs...oh I can't believe this!!!" She glanced down the hallway in both directions. Luckily for her, it was quite late, after 10PM at this point, so she was alone. For now.
She looked at the bra in her hand, and quickly put it on. The panties had fallen to the floor JUST on the other side of the door and were not retrievable. Plus, they were on that filthy floor -- and thus not wearable as far as Jess was concerned.
She knew that she could not stay here. She needed to either suck it up and go to the front desk (gulp!) to get a new room key, or find another way to get into her room, or at least get some clothes!
"Come on Jess....think!!" she told herself as she fumbled with the towel, trying to get it to stay closed around her waist, curvy hips and big round fanny. She decided that she needed to hold it closed with one hand.
Under other circumstances, a bra may pass for a top, and the towel for a skirt. In THIS case, the bra was a white, mostly sheer bra that was at least a size too small for her, and which her nipples were quite visible under. So she dismissed any elevator trips at this point, and decided that her best bet was to try and get down to her car, and PRAY that her spare key was still in the little magnetic case that she had stashed under her rear bumper last year -- at the insistence of her over-protective father!
She looked to her right, the opposite direction of the elevators, and saw the red EXIT sign over a door that she assumed lead to the stairwell. If her bearings were correct, this was also the same side of the building as the parking lot that her car was in. Ideally, she could get downstairs, dash to the car, get the key, grab her coat (which was laying across the backseat -- thank GOD she had not brought it inside with her due to the warm weather tonight) then go to the front desk and get a new room key.
She quick stepped to the door and used the corner of her towel to try the handle....not easy to do and keep it in place on her hips at the same time. As she pulled the door open and stepped through, she had a sudden thought and quickly used her foot to keep the door from closing.
"What if it locks??" she wondered. She examined the handle, but there was no way to tell. It certainly seemed feasible from a security point of view that the hotel may keep the doors locked from the stairwell side.
"UUUhhh!!" Jess groaned a bit. "How will I keep it open?" She looked down at her shoes. They would be the logical choice for most people, but the thought of using one of them to prop the door open, then have to touch the floor with her bare foot was unthinkable. "Gross" she muttered at the very thought. Her tummy fluttered a bit at the other two choices. Towel...or bra.
Realizing that there was at least one more door to go through, Jess opted to hang on to her towel for as long as possible. This way she could use it to open the next door with -- outside doors would be especially filthy! Plus, the towel covered more than her skimpy bra.
She peeked out into the hallway, let out a big exasperated sigh, and reached back to undo the two hooks.
"I can't believe I have to do this..." she said, then shrugged her shoulders forward, the bra slipping to her forearms, her breasts bouncing free. She slid the bra off and carefully folded it, then placed it between the door jamb and the door, and let the door close on it. It did the trick, taking up just enough space to keep the door from closing. And, it was a good 3 feet up from the disgusting floor!
She made quick work of the stairs, her heels clicking, boobs bouncing as she descended the four flights quickly. The stairwell was well lit, all concrete, and thankfully deserted. When she got to the bottom, there were two doors, each with a window. She ducked down to peer through.
The inside door lead down a hallway to presumably the lobby. It was lined with rooms, just like her floor, but seemed to have some additional structure at the end that suggested a larger room....it was too far away to really tell.
The outside door was all glass and steel, lead to a short sidewalk and directly into the parking lot. It absolutely had a lock, and a small sign mounted on the wall that read "Door is locked 24/7 and requires keycard access."
Jess looked down at her towel, then out into the parking lot. She bit her lower lip as she contemplated what to do. She just could NOT fathom taking her shoes off and running to the car barefoot! These floors just looked...gross, and she could see cigarette butts out on the sidewalk -- obviously where hotel employees went for smoke breaks.
