Being a twenty-four year old wife of a construction worker, I’m used to cleaning up messes, and watching my husband pass out at nine or ten at night. It doesn’t really bother me, we get along great when he’s awake and home, and our life is pretty alright, he also makes decent money. Last year we decided to save for a house. I had been working part time and in order to make more money I was going to switch to full, but the place I was working had nothing available. My husband’s foreman suggested I come on the crew as a laborer. The money was three dollars more an hour than what I was making, it was almost April so I could start working on my tan very soon, and with overtime we would be making GREAT money. I agreed.
My husband was pretty for it, his only hang-up was the idea of bringing a 5’5” blond with a great body, and good sized breasts onto an all male construction site. I told him ‘I could hold my own with the comments and sling some good one’s myself, and besides I’d met them all at one point or another and they already knew what I looked like, so what I’m hot, they can look all they want if anything you should feel good that other guys find me attractive, because you’re the only one for me.’
I started work the second to last Monday in March. We call it mud season, all the snow is melting, there are beginning to be more warm days than cold, and there’s mud and huge puddles EVERYWHERE. Seeing a construction site in mud season first hand I understood why my husband always came home caked to the knees. There’s no topsoil until the houses are finished so the loose soil on the site turns into a very thick nasty mud. There are usually planks to walk on, and sometimes even they go under the mud is so deep.
My first week was really warm fifties and up temperature wise. Anyone from this area of the country knows how bad the winter was in 2002-3, so the melting snow was causing a lot of mud. My job was basically to clean the site as the six guys building the house made the mess. I trucked load after load of scrap out to the dumpster, picked up all kinds of paper and debris. I was so sore by the end of the day. Lunch and coffee were a slew of innuendo and I laughed it was all joking and I fully expected it. I remember the day to a T.
It was my first Wednesday and the temperature hit the mid sixties. Most of the guys were down to T-shirts and as I began to sweat I soon headed to the truck and changed my sweatshirt for one of my husband’s T-shirts. I was wearing a sports bra, but still got a whistle from the still unfinished second floor. The mud was getting bad, and by coffee I was covered to my thighs, and half way up my arms.
Break time the conversation was on me instantly. ‘You’re cleaning up trash, not rolling in the mud right?’ and ‘If you wanna’ mud wrestle I’ll take you on after we wrap-up’ and ‘Oh yeah nothing like a dirty girl.’ I had nothing to say I really was filthy. My jeans clung to my legs and my husband’s oversized shirt was getting in the way more than anything else. After break the temperature continued to climb, threatening to break a record, it might actually reach seventy!
With work on the second floor reaching a fevered pitch there was house wrap, and scrap plywood everywhere! I mucked about along the foundation shuttling everything to the dumpster, when I was caught up for a few minutes I swept out the first floor. It was almost lunchtime when I got myself into the mess I’m about to describe. I headed back out to grab the newer waste from around the foundation.
I rounded the corner of the foundation forgetting the hole for the water supply was full of water, forgetting the hole was there at all. I hit the muddy edge with one foot and slid right into the four-foot deep, cold muddy water. The banks of the hole were super muddy and as I clawed my way out really having to drag my lower body because whenever I tried to kneel I slipped back in I COVERED myself in mud. The guys were watching from the second floor deck, and laughing pretty good. The foreman called lunch as I headed into the house.
I looked down at myself as the guys came down the stairs. My husband asked if I was alright, we both had to laugh. My front was mud from my boobs to the tips of my toes, and everything I was wearing was wet.
“Hey we’ve got to head home for some dry clothes.” My husband said. The foreman said sure and my husband started for the door. I stopped him.
“By the time we get back it’ll be two-o’clock, we can’t waste a day like this.” I said. “You’ve got another shirt in the truck and I can sit in the cab with my pants on the heater until they’re a little drier.” My husband always told me the guys were merciless if you had to leave for anything other than a serious injury. I wasn’t about to go home early half way through my first week. My husband seemed to mull it in his head and finally shrugged and nodded.
I headed for the truck and tossed the soaked shirt in the back again drawing a wolf’s whistle. I then turned and tipped a joking salute actually facing the guys in my sports bra. My breasts are practically a D-cup, and the bra shows off quite a bit of cleavage. I think my husband blushed more than I did. I grabbed my sweatshirt and turned away as I pulled the soaked sports bra off and quickly pulled the sweatshirt back on. I was definitely a little chilly from being wet. Next I climbed into the truck and took off my boots, then my soaked jeans. As I lay them over the dash all the guys who were closely monitoring my progress over their sandwiches started clapping.
I could feel how saturated my panties were and they were clinging to my crotch and making everything feel pretty gross so, after grabbing a jacket from behind the seat to lay across my lap I tugged them off. The guys were all staring at me so I made a big show of spreading my tiny blue thong out and setting it on the dashboard. The reaction was amazing. These grown adults exploded into a childish laughing and pointing grinning charade. I smiled and opened my cooler.
The foreman came over to the window as lunch ended and told me to take my time, they wouldn’t need me until it was time to stand up the gables. I could tell he was trying to see if there was anything to see. I thought it was a little cute. Then my husband came and put his lunch box away and asked if I was alright. I told him I was never better he shook his head.
“You’ve got them all excited.” My husband said. I let a devilish grin flash across my face and a thought entered my mind.
