This could only happen to me.
I have a tendency to forget things particularly when I am in a rush. This time my forgetful mind put me in a very embarrassing situation that I still can't believe was real, although I will admit up front that it left me quite excited.
Last week my boss asked me to run downtown and pick up a very important signed contract from a key client, whom I will call, Mr. X.
I knew how important this contract was not only to her, but also to the entire company.
It fairly represented whether we made our annual budget or missed it.
And I only had 45 minutes to pick it up before Mr. X left for vacation, where he refused to allow any interruptions from his family.
I rushed out to my car and allowed my GPS to guide me away from any traffic snarls that could delay me.
I arrived in front of Mr. X's office building and parked on the street instead of picking a parking lot, as I felt that the lot would just delay me more.
I had 15 minutes to spare and was feeling quite proud of myself as I gathered up my purse and a plastic envelope that I had brought along to protect the contract from the elements.
Oh, did I mention that it was pouring rain outside and in my rush I had forgotten to grab my raincoat on the way out of the office.
I was now in front of his office and had only a few steps across the city sidewalk to keep myself dry and pick up the contract.
I looked for traffic in my side mirror and when it was all clear, I quickly opened my door and jumped out to make my dash to the safety of the building.
Just as the car door left my hand, I realized that the keys were sitting on the front passenger seat right where I placed them when I picked up the envelope.
I jerked my body back towards the door, which caused my dress to fly out and slide a good portion of it inside the closing car door.
The door closed tight and I was caught from my hem to almost my waist in the door.
The term "if it wasn't attached, you would forget your head" just didn't apply as everything was attached, but I wasn't sure for how long.
I pulled on it and could hear the fabric start to rip, which was not an acceptable solution. This was my sister's favorite dress, which I borrowed for the day and I had to return it intact.
The fact that it was getting wet was bad enough, but could easily be remedied by a simple dry cleaning.
I looked at my watch and my 15-minute cushion was now down to 8 minutes.
I panicked as I considered my alternatives and the need to get that signed contract.
I called my husband as he had our extra set of keys on his key chain and got his voicemail. I left a message explaining my predicament as well as my location, but knew that he couldn't possibly arrive in time. I honestly didn't know what else to do, so I took a big gulp of air, reached behind me, unzipped the dress down to my waist, slipped it off of my shoulders and pulled it down to my waist.
The rain was coming down in sheets.
Right at this point, I remembered what panties I had put on that morning. I was wearing a very teeny pair of black sheer panties that had "Sexy Little Thing" across my bottom.
I started to scold myself for wearing such ridiculous panties to the office. The only place that I was comfortable being seen in them was standing in my bedroom in front of my husband.
However I had to get that contract.
I twisted myself sideways to be able to lift one of my legs high enough to free it from my dress. Once one leg was free, the next one was easy enough.
I was now standing on a downtown city street in a black demi cup bra, which threatened at any time to reveal my very erect nipples, black patent leather high heels, black thigh high stockings and my aforementioned sheer black bikini panties. Was it the rain or my predicament that was causing my physical reaction?
At least the rain made me invisible to passing motorists. At the same time caused my bra and panties to become virtually see through as everything now clung to my body.
My heart was beating out of my chest, while at the same time a warm glow was starting to stream through my body.
