IIt was a warm summers night and her best friends 25th birthday party. Laura was on her second glass of wine and had found the perfect buzz to feel comfortable on social occasions, especially when attending alone. She'd been single for what felt like forever, but was actually only a few months - or was it six now? Not that she was unattractive, but somehow she hadn't found the right guy for something more than a few dates or even just for some great sex. Mostly the guys she met had seemed a little immature or a little vanilla - some, she thought, had probably regarded her as a bit of a nerd. So largely she'd buried herself in her IT career - it was something she enjoyed, paid well, and her team seemed to respect her as the lead.
As the evening progressed she found herself needing the bathroom, but there was quite a queue forming outside and inside she could see someone trying to get the toilet working. To take her mind off her growing distress, she walked out to the garden for some fresh air. There were a few people talking by the door but it was largely dark and quiet and the warm night air felt lovely on her skin. There were some bushes that might just be large enough if she was quick and discreet, though at the point almost any option was a good one. Checking no one was watching she approached and found they weren't quite large enough, though behind them was a low fence to the neighbour's yard which appeared dark and empty. Hoisting her skirt to her waist and stepping over she quickly dropped her panties, grasped the fence to squat, and let out a low groan of relief as the pressure in hear bladder eased. She was almost done when she heard a male voice from the dark, "I guess you really needed that... though I do have a bathroom you could have used". It was said kindly and with some humour, but regardless, embarrassment overwhelmed her and her face reddened. She hurriedly pulled up her panties flattened her skirt and mumbled a barely audible "Sorry!", and stepped back over the fence towards the safety of the bushes - her heart pounding in her chest. She'd had to lift her skirt again to get back over the fence which exposed her panties adding further to her embarrassment. "No need at all to apologise -- really", the kind voice called after her.
