My boyfriend and I were driving back from Portland to Seattle. And I really had to pee.
He was driving. I'd been cavalierly drinking from a huge water bottle filled with iced tea. My bladder had been getting correspondingly fuller, of course, but I hadn't said anything as we sailed past the most recent rest stop. I could hold it till we reached Seattle. It was maybe half an hour now, was all. I was a tall guy and had a big enough bladder and all that. Hadn't pissed myself yet in life. Shouldn't be a problem.
Then, right as I was swigging the last of the tea from the bottle—and thinking it was a good thing I'd get to pee very soon, because my need was starting to get urgent—we hit the heavy traffic. We slowed to a complete stop, on I-5 in Tacoma. In the center of the five lanes.
"Um," I said. "Uh-oh."
"This happens." He sighed. "Tacoma is like this a lot."
I got out my phone and looked up the traffic map and felt a pang of dread—mostly in the region of my straining bladder. "Um," I repeated. The interstate was marked up with red and black—stop and go traffic for the next twenty miles. Estimated time to Seattle was now 85 minutes. "I cannot wait eighty-five minutes," I said, a bit panicky.
He glanced at me. "You have to pee or something?"
"Yes." I clenched my thighs together. "Like, really bad. Really seriously bad."
"Dude, you should've said."
"I didn't know the traffic was going to do this!"
"Well. Maybe it'll be faster than they think." But he sounded dubious.
I reached between my legs to pinch at the head of my cock, trying to discourage it from doing anything like leaking. "Yeah. Let's hope."
Fifteen minutes later it was clear the traffic was not getting better. We had inched along, barely scooting ahead a mile in all that time. I was dying.
I groaned, jamming both hands between my legs. "Oh my God, why."
