"Is everything okay?"
Cora was walking home from a nice lunch out with her new boyfriend, Alexei. Normally cheerful and talkative, he'd been quiet and terse on their walk home. "Yes," he snapped."
Um. Did I do something wrong?"
"No. Sorry. Just um. Not feeling well."
"Oh! Well, we're almost back to your place, then you can rest."
At that moment, a fart escaped from Alexei's bottom, and he instinctively pressed his hand against his anus.
"Oh," Cora said again, understanding. Her new boyfriend had to potty. Quite badly, it seemed, and it would take them another fifteen minutes or so to get back to his townhome. She was shocked at the predicament. Alexei was about 6'2 and quite manly. He had a big, corporate job, and he made big money to match. He was very dominant in their relationship, both in and out of the bedroom, and she liked it that way. At the moment though, he was bright red with embarrassment and looked like he could cry. She never dreamed she'd see him like this.
"Was it something you ate at the restaurant?" she asked.
"I don't know," he answered in an uncharacteristically small voice.
"Do you think you'll make it, honey?"
His eyes widened in horror. "Of course I will!"
"Okay, okay," she said, realizing she'd overstepped and embarrassed him further. She wasn't confident that he would make it, though, and she started planning the accident clean-up as they walked. Several more minutes passed in silence. That is, except for the near constant stream of muted farts coming from Alexei that she was politely ignoring. Suddenly, one of his farts was a bit louder than usual, and he froze, pressing his hand to his bottom again and turning so that his back was facing the nearest building.
"Oh! Um," Cora started, trying to figure out how to inquire without humiliating him unnecessarily. "Did you...did you go? Just now?"
Alexei's face was frozen in shell-shocked horror, but he shook his head no. "Just- I think a little bit came out. Cora, I need to go, now."
Ah. So he sharted. The clock was ticking. "It's all right, honey, let's go, almost back."
