Hello again, I'm Miranda, remember me? Perhaps you have read my account of my misadventures at a gymnastics contest, where I ended up naked in front of a crowd. I put my story on this site when I was advised to talk about it to overcome my deep sense of humiliation. I did feel strangely liberated by doing it; oddly knowing that the whole world could read it took away some of the shame.
What I didn't expect was for it to land me in another, similar situation only last month.
Since leaving university I have been working for a financial company in the City. Recently I changed departments and found myself working with a girl of my own age called Linzi. We quickly became friends as well as colleagues, often going out after work to have a good time. One Friday she told me that she had arranged for us to go on a double date. She had met a guy over lunch and arranged to meet him and his mate at a club that evening. I wasn't exactly dressed for clubbing but she was so insistent I agreed. Linzi suggested that we went back to her place, using the tube, where she'd find me something to wear.
On the way she chatted incessantly about James, the guy she had met. He was apparently, perfect, good-looking, sensitive, a real gentleman and nothing like her previous boyfriends. She may have said some more but I stopped listening a few stops into our journey and just tried to appear interested. Her flat was a short walk from the tube station and we soon arrived.
Once there she sorted me out something to wear to the club. This proved a little problematic as our dress sizes weren't a perfect match. As I mentioned in my first story, whilst I am not fat, I am quite curvy whereas Linzi is less well-endowed, even a bit skinny. Thus any of her dresses were quite snug. Wearable, but definitely figure hugging! Eventually we settled on a white halter-neck dress and now the seeds for disaster were sown.
Linzi passed judgment on my appearance. "The dress looks fine, but your bra straps are showing and you have the worst case of visible panty line in the history of the world!"
"Well I'll have to take them both off then. I'll go commando!" I replied giggling.
Perhaps if we hadn't had a couple of glasses of wine already or perhaps if I wasn't feeling quite so self confident after unburdening myself by posting the story of the gym contest on the internet I would had said something different, but I didn't and so a few minutes later we were on our way back to the tube to go back into town for our double date.
The walk back to the tube station had proved that the dress provided almost, but not quite enough support for my boobs, which jiggled furiously as I walked, and that the dress was very figure hugging. I was attracting lots of admiring glances from passing men, which I found very flattering. On the tube even the motion of the train caused my boobs to jiggle, which proved of great interest to the guy opposite. Unfortunately for him his girlfriend didn't like the way he was staring so he got a dig in the ribs and I got a filthy look. As we neared town the carriage filled up and people had to stand. A sleazy looking businessman, in a cheap suit, took advantage of this to stand in front of me trying to look at my cleavage. However I didn't mind too much or so I kept telling my self. A small voice inside my head kept telling me I should have worn a less revealing outfit and kept my underwear on.
At the club we met James and my date for the evening Mark. We stood around drinking for a while. For someone who was supposed to be with Linzi, it struck me that James was paying me rather a lot of attention. Things got worse when Mark took a call on his mobile and made his excuses and left.
"Never mind Miranda, we'll just make it a threesome!" said James in the sort of tone of voice that suggested that he was only joking, but that if we were up for the idea, then he was serious.
"No thanks, I probably leave too soon."
"Oh that's a shame" said Linzi in a voice full of relief. She'd obviously noticed James eyeing me up.
James took control and bought another round of drinks, postponing my departure. Obviously cross Linzi went to the loo. James made his move.
"You look stunning in that dress, Miranda."
"Thanks, but aren't you Linzi's date?"
"Well she's very nice, but I like a woman with curves in the right places" he said leering at me, adding "Like you."
"Sorry James, but Linzi's a good friend so I'm not gonna do this to her."
"Ok Miranda, fair enough. Can I have one dance as a consolation?"
I probably should have refused. Once we were on the dance floor he took every chance to pull me close to him, feeling my curves, which he so admired, through the thin material of the dress. It wasn't unpleasant, quite the reverse, but I knew Linzi wouldn't be too pleased. As we came off the dance floor I could tell from her face, furious, rather than unhappy, was nearer the truth.
"Having fun?" she snapped.
"Look, Linzi, it was just one dance, I didn't wanna be rude and refuse."
"Yeah, right!" she muttered and then she threw her drink over me. I was drenched in rum and cola all down the front of the white dress. Immediately she was apologetic, as concerned about me as her dress. We set off for the loo to try to repair the damage. She wet some paper towel and began dabbing at the dress, muttering "I'm sorry" over and over. Her dabbing was having little effect.
"Look Miranda, slip the dress off, I'll soak it in the sink and dry it under the hand drier."
"Linzi I can't, I've got no underwear on remember."
"Please, the dress will be ruined and you can hide in one of the cubicles. Please!"
