The forecast was for a beautiful spring day and I dressed according to the forecast. I was wearing a short flirty skirt and a loose blouse that displayed some nice cleavage when I left the top two buttons undone. I know the cleavage was nice because I could see men's eyes swivelling to check it out as I bounced along on my way to work. (I was also carrying a jacket. I didn't completely trust the weather forecast.)
It was one of those days when everything was going splendidly. We had plenty of customers and they were all friendly. (A rare occurrence.) I made quite a few sales and could look forward to a nice commission. We were so busy I had to work right through my normal lunch break and I didn't get to take my break until two.
The weather had held up so I grabbed a sandwich and a drink and strolled over to a nearby park to have lunch in the sun. The park was deserted apart from me, probably because I was having lunch so late. I plunked myself down on a handy bench, undid a third button to emphasize my cleavage (just during the lunch break), and relaxed, enjoying the sun and my lunch.
Trouble was, even though it was nice in the park, it was also boring. Apart from one man strolling through the park towards me the place was deserted. I decided that I'd had enough fresh air and sunshine and would wander over to the shops.
I got up off the bench just as the man was passing. OK, so maybe I was paying more attention to making sure I leaned forward slightly as I got up to maximize the guy's view of my cleavage, rather than just getting up off the bench. The man was eyeing me off and looked nice so why shouldn't I tease a little. The reason was the ripping sound when I stood up.
As well as the ripping sound I felt a tug at my clothes. Something had snagged and torn. I just froze there, three-quarters standing, my hand groping around behind me to see what the damage was. I couldn't feel anything wrong with my skirt so I finished standing.
The man had also heard the tearing sound and he'd stopped and was looking at me. He grinned at me and made a twirling motion with his finger, obviously offering to check for any damage (and hoping to perve on my panties if the skirt was torn). Figuring, what the hell, I needed to know, I hesitantly turned around, looking over my shoulder at him.
I was sure something was wrong. I'd swear I could feel material flapping against my legs, but perhaps it was only nerves.
"Don't worry," the man told me. "Your skirt is intact. Not a tear on it that I could see."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then he continued.
"Unless, of course, your skirt has a red lacy lining, in which case it's been torn free and is dangling."
Fucking hell! I'd ripped the bejesus out of my panties. I spun back to face the man and one hand went behind me to check under my skirt and all I found was bare bottom. Somehow or other my panties had caught on a splinter or a nail and just been ripped in half and were basically dangling.
I was blushing and wondering what on earth I could do when the man spoke again.
"Ah, I'm Alan, by the way, and stop panicking. You don't really have a major problem."
"Easy for you to say," I pointed out. "You're not the one with the problem."
"True, but I do have a solution. Several, in fact. If you slide the remains of your panties off nobody will notice that they're gone. The shops are close by. You can trot over and buy a new pair straightaway. Alternatively," he said, nodding towards my bag, "I assume you have a phone. You could ring a friend from work and have her bring you a pair. Finally, if you ask me, I'll go and buy a pair for you while you sit here and wait. To start with, I'll turn my back while you get rid of the remains."
With that he turned around and looked elsewhere and I hurriedly slipped my panties off. Geez, whatever had hooked them had just ripped a huge V shape, tearing the crotch right out. Blasted council should take better care of the park benches.
"OK?" asked Alan.
"OK, I guess," I grumbled. How OK could you be, suddenly finding yourself going commando?
He turned back to face me, smiling. He had a nice smile.
"So, have you decided how you're going to get a new pair?" he asked, his voice light and teasing, with a bit of a laugh in it.
I couldn't help but respond with a bit of a laugh.
"I guess I'll just go and get a pair myself. The sooner I get them the sooner I can put them on. There's no wind so I won't have to worry about my skirt getting blown up."
"Well, there you go. Problem solved. However, if you don't mind, before you go I'd like to imitate the wind."
What the hell did he mean by that? I found out fast enough. He just reached down and started lifting my skirt up. I promptly slapped my hands down against my skirt, holding it in place, blushing. He laughed.
"Fast responses," he said. "Now why don't you lift your hands away for a moment and pretend you had a slow response."
"I'm not lifting my skirt so you can look at me," I hissed.
"You're not lifting your skirt. I am. What's it going to hurt? Haven't you ever wanted to do this sort of thing?"
I shook my head. I'd never even dreamed of flashing anyone.
"Well, it's a day for firsts. Just lift your hands away for a moment."
