Encounter on a train brings two strangers closer together.
āI wanna go home now Mum!ā a small child screeched making Sophieās skin crawl.
āOK Max. Weāre nearly home now,ā the woman holding his hand soothed far too politely for Sophieās liking. All he needed was a good slap. That would shut him up.
āI donāt like it Mum! There are too many people! I wanna go home now!ā the brat demanded, turning around and kicking Sophie in the shin.
āOuch!ā Sophie yelped as she rubbed the red mark on her shin and tried not to fall off the platform and on to the tracks.
āMax! Naughty! You mustnāt do that. Itās not nice,ā the mother reprimanded feebly as the child screwed up his face and let out a piercing scream. His face turned bright red and tears poured out of the corner of his eyes as he wailed, stamping his feet and kicking his mother.
The sound was like nails scraping down a blackboard to Sophie who tried to escape but was surrounded by equally irritated commuters. The platform was heaving and as each minute passed, more commuters poured into the station like ants, pushing and shoving to secure a place on the platform.
It was the perfect end to the perfect day for Sophie and as she sighed loudly she said a silent prayer to London Underground that the train would arrive soon.
āLadies and gentlemen. Weād like to apologise for the delay,ā the announcer said moronically, āthereās a signalling fault at Parsons Green. The next District Line train is due in 7 minutes.ā
Everyone on the platform groaned, drowning out the sound of the screaming child, albeit momentarily. Sophie winced as she felt an elbow in her side as the well dressed man beside her reached into his suit pocket and pulled out his mobile phone.
āHoney, Iām going to be late. Fucking Tube!ā he said irritably into the phone.
Sophie closed her eyes and tried to go to her happy place, far away from Notting Hill Gate and the angry commuters. She took a deep breath and brushed her short blonde hair out of her face, checking her watch to see if the 7 minutes were up. Her feet ached, her expensive stiletto-heeled shoes threatening to cut off her circulation. She was hot and uncomfortable and couldnāt wait to get home and take off her shoes and grey suit, her short skirt clinging to her sweaty legs.
When the train eventually arrived, there was a sudden surge forward and Sophie couldnāt breathe as the passengers crowded around her, desperate to get on the train, not sure when the next was coming. When the doors opened, she didnāt so much get on, as was carried on by the sea of people.
āMove down!ā someone cried as everyone scrambled to get onto the train.
āThereās no room!ā someone replied, echoing Sophieās thoughts.
Just when she thought no one else could fit, three more people forced their way on as she felt someoneās backpack digging into her arm. As the door shut, she found herself facing a tall, dark-haired guy and she moved her face away with embarrassment when she realised that her body was pressed against his chest.
No one could move as the packed train slowly left the platform and Sophie fought for breath as she tried to ignore the strangersā bodies pressed up against her own. She could still hear the child screaming somewhere on the carriage and she sighed loudly, knowing that she had a long way to go until she was home. The only thing she was grateful for was that this section of the journey was over ground so she didnāt have to endure an endless dark tunnel.
Sophieās head ached as the loud train made its way to the next station. The relentless crying from the annoying child sheād encountered on the platform was only made worse by the symphony of mobile phones ringing around the carriage which remained unanswered because it was so crowded no one could reach them.
Suddenly she felt something brush between her legs and her blue eyes widened when she realised it was a hand. Sophie looked desperately around her, straining to see whom the hand belonged to and gasped as she felt it move up.
āHey! Get off me! Stop!ā she demanded as loudly as she could as she looked accusingly at the people closest to her. But whoever it was didnāt listen and began gently rubbing her through her black silk underwear.
āI said stop!ā Sophie responded desperately, trying to move away but there was nowhere to go on the crowded train.
She struggled for breath as her heart raced out of control, her body stiff with fear and shock. She continued to look around desperately, hoping to find the person that was doing it or at least find someone to rescue her.
āHelp meā¦ā she managed, looking at the woman standing next to her but she had a Walkman on and couldnāt hear her as the hand continued to caress her pussy though her panties.
The train pulled into the next station and Sophie saw the opportunity to escape so tried to push her way off. As she struggled to get through the crowd, she felt an arm around her slim waist, holding on to her firmly.
āLet me go!ā she demanded as she tried to wriggle free. But it was too late and her blue eyes filled with tears as she watched the train doors shut.
āNo!ā Sophie sobbed as the train continued to the next station. She flinched as she felt the hand continuing to explore under her skirt, tugging at her thong.
āNo please stopā¦ā she begged but her protests were drowned out the by the busy train as the stranger continued to slowly rub her through her underwear and she felt a finger slip between the lips of her pussy, forcing her to breath in suddenly. She looked up and noticed that the man facing her was smiling smugly and she could see his green eyes alive with lust.
Realising that it was his hand beneath her short skirt, she tried to pull away again, but it was futile as the train suddenly jerked, pushing her forward.
āStop pleaseā¦ā she begged, but it only seemed to spur him on more.
He began fingering her gently as Sophieās body betrayed her, the soft silk rubbing against her swollen clit sending tiny sparks of pleasure coursing through her body. She was disgusted with herself, knowing that he would be able to feel the wet patch that was beginning to develop.
