After more than 10 years without working, if you don't class being a full time mother and housewife as working, I accepted an offer of a part time office job at a local business. My friend had been offered it by her husband who worked there, but as she didn't want to give up her current job she suggested I might like it. She actually told me she didn't want to be with her husband a moment longer than she needed to be, which made me smile as well as feel a little sorry for her husband.
Tim, my friends husband, wasn't my boss but he would often come into the office to check I was ok, and when my boss Gerry wasn't in the office we would often pass the time of day chatting. Gerry was an easy going boss, more concentrating on planning his hobby activities rather than chatting when things weren't busy, so Tim was the main person I interacted with at work.
I'd not been there very long when a retirement party was announced for one of the other bosses, and as it was being held locally I agreed with my husband that I would go.
Tim picked me up and although he dressed and smelt quite nice I didn't really think anything other than appreciation for the lift. My husband had complimented me on my looks and told me to beware of bosses wanting a retirement kiss, to which I laughed. Although I had admired how I looked in the bedroom mirror.
I wore a calf length black dress showing a little cleavage, black stilettos in an effort to increase my 5'2 height, and a good application of eye makeup and lipstick. My dark brown hair had recently been styled into a neck length wedge cut, and I felt rather stylish knowing I also had a new set of sexy panties and 38d bra together with stockings, suspender belt and suspenders underneath.
For most of the evening I stood with the 2 other women present, at 46 they were both 10 years older than me but certainly knew how to drink as I tried to drink my wine at a slower pace. Occasionally breakaway groups of the 12 or so men that were there would chat to us, some making rude comments or telling dirty jokes that I found myself beginning to laugh at but never with the loudness that Tracey was.
It became obvious to me that Tracey thought she was the centre of attention while Gwen and I were there as well-wishers to the retiring gentleman. I didn't mind this though as I didn't want to give anyone the false impression that I was a party animal.
One of the men was taking photographs and Tracey was trying to get into every one. We were asked to sit alongside the man who was retiring and Tracey and Gwen sat either side of him with me next to Gwen. Two other men sat either side of Tracey and I, and we all smiled for the camera.
Then the photographer asked us to copy Tracey, when I looked across at her I saw she had pulled her skirt up to above her knees. Gwen and I both had dresses on and gingerly pulled them up to our knees too.
He then said a bit higher girls and there was a few 'wows' and 'nice' from other men watching, as thy seemed to form a semi-circle around the back of the photographer. Tracey had pulled her skirt to a point where the tops of her tan stockings were completely on show as was her white suspenders too. As Gwen and I both looked in amazement the photographer said 'come on girls' and before I knew what had happened the guy to my right had pulled my dress up showing the suspender and top of my stocking on my right leg. I was now concentrating on pushing his hand down, or at least preventing it going further, as I heard a few people say 'whoa' and 'corr', and the photographer said a bit higher.
Tracey was allowing the guys either side of her to pull both sides of her skirt up and although I tried to cover my self up the guy next to me got both my stocking tops momentarily exposed before I managed to push my dress back down to my knees. My cheeks were burning red as Gwen and Tracey laughed at each other seemingly not even noticing my embarrassment, but some of the men obviously had as most of the faces behind the photographer seemed to now be looking at me. I focused on straightening my dress but could hear words like 'wow did you get a good look at the new girl', and 'hey what sexy legs she's got', and even a 'oh yes let me have some of that'.
We all seemed to stand up at the same time, and I saw Tim coming towards me.
"What did I miss," he asked me. I wasn't sure he missed anything as I was sure he was amongst the group in front of us, but one of the others said "you've just missed Julie here giving us a great showing of her sexy legs and even sexier underwear."
"Have I," Tim added, and I was even more sure he'd also seen as I felt my cheeks beginning to burn with embarrassment.
"Yeah, stockings and suspenders, the lot," the guy added.
"Just my luck to miss it," Tim said, possibly trying to make me feel a bit better about the situation.
I sipped at my drink, and although doing so quicker than I'd intended I consciously decided I'd rather drink than engage into conversation with the men that were now crowding around me.
Big smiles on their faces, making out we were on first name terms and good friends all of a sudden.
As things began to get back to normality Tim asked if I wanted another drink before leaving, to which I said I'd had enough and was ready for home now.
People said goodbye and I responded without actually looking at each individual. Getting into the cark park I knew I was a little unsteady on my feet, the effects of the wine rushing to my head, and I grabbed Tim's arm until we reached his car.
Driving out of the car park I felt my head spinning a little, signifying I'd perhaps had a bit too much to drink, but glad I was now on my way home. Tim drove into a deserted car park and said he was just going to draw some more money for tomorrow. I gulped in the cooler air as he got out, thinking this would help me sober up before I got home.
Tim came back and sat in his seat. "Did you enjoy that?" he asked.
"Umm, yes it was ok, Tracey's a bit wild though isn't she," I replied.
"Yes, always likes to think the men are after her, but I'm not interested, too loud for me," Tim explained.
There was a pause as I waited expecting Tim to buckle up and drive off.
"A lot of people were pleased you came," Tim broke the silence as he turned the ignition but didn't start the car.
"Ohh, why?" I asked.
Tim laughed and then said "because you've got a good personality and attractive too," and then added, "especially when you flash your underwear."
I could feel myself blushing again as he added "just my luck I was at the bar and missed the best bits."
"W-what do you mean best bits?" I stuttered.
"The stocking tops, I missed them," he replied.
I couldn't deny I had stockings on, most men had seen them and he probably had too.
