Chapter 11: Carlene's Frenzied Flight
Carlene lay gloomily on her bed in her dorm room. Her roommate had gone home for the weekend, and while she appreciated the solitude, she really needed to talk to someone. She reached for her phone and called her friend Paula.
“Carlene?” came Paula’s familiar voice. “How are you doing?”
“Well... I’ve been better.”
“Uh-oh,” retorted a concerned Paula. Carlene wasn’t one to mope. For her to sound this down, something had to be wrong.
“He got me,” Carlene muttered.
"Who?" Then it dawned on her. "Tommy? Say it's not him."
Carlene nodded, even though Paula couldn’t see her. "It was him. Do you have a few moments? I haven't told anybody about this, and I need to talk about it with someone. It might be cathartic for me."
"Oh, gosh, of course!" said her friend. "Oh, I'm so sorry. What did he do to you?"
Carlene took a deep breath. "Well here goes. I flew back here last Sunday afternoon. I was at the airport. I had been really worried that he would do something while I was back home, so I stayed home pretty much the rest of the week after what happened at the restaurant."
Paula needed no reminder of her awful experience at the restaurant. "Oh my God, did he go all the way to your school?"
“No... I'll tell you. Once I got to the airport I figured I was home free. And then..." her voice tailed off.
"Take your time, Carlene. I know it's hard. I still have trouble talking about that night."
"Okay. Well, first off, I can tell you that you and Ginger were right. He has supernatural powers."
"Shit! I knew it!"
"It's crazy. The guy actually can stop time. That's what he did when he took all your blouses and bras off. Then he starts it again, and it's like you were right where you left off, except..."
"Except our tits were hanging out for everyone to see," interrupted Paula.
"Exactly. Can you believe this? It's nuts!"
"It's surreal. Preposterous! I can't believe it's even possible."
"Well, it is, that I can assure you," said a convinced Carlene.
"So... so what did he do?"
Carlene took another deep breath. “Well... I'm at the airport. I got there a couple of hours early, just because I was so anxious to get out of Dodge and be free from him. I was standing in the long security line, and then, the next thing I knew..." Again, her voice trailed off.
"No, don't tell me!" exclaimed an animated Paula.
"No, he didn't strip me. Well, I take that back, he did, because the next thing I knew I was standing there wearing just my volleyball uniform."
"
Whaaat?
"Yeah, no shit! It was the weirdest sensation. The first thing I noticed was my bare feet on the floor. Oh, and it was just the sports bra and bikini bottom, like the ones we would wear when we played beach volleyball."
"Oh, my God!" shouted Paula. "You poor thing!"
"I know. I mean, normally I would be fine wearing that in the proper setting, but at the airport, with all those people around? It was the most embarrassed I'd ever been in my entire life. Think about it. I'm over six feet tall, so I stand out anyway, but then? My face felt like it was on fire!"
Paula groaned. “I can feel the secondhand embarrassment. So what did you do?”
"Well, that's the thing. My first thought was to grab my bag and make a run for it to the ladies' room. But then I figured that would bring even more attention to myself, so I started to reach into my bag for a pair of jeans."
"Yes, probably the best way to go. Jeez."
"But there was a bright pink piece of paper sitting on my bag. He left a note."
"Him and his fucking notes!"
"Oh, it wasn't the last note I got that day. Anyway, it said... hold on, I saved them. Don't ask me why." There was silence while Carlene grabbed several pieces of bright pink paper from the bottom of her underwear drawer.
"It said, 'Don't even THINK about covering up. I want you to get on your flight as you are. Any effort to cover up and you will immediately find yourself bare-assed naked. By the way, I hope you like the color of this paper. I picked it out myself, figuring it would match the color of your face right now. Love, Tommy.' That was it."
"Wow. So you had to go through security dressed like that?"
"I did. I mean, what else could I do? It was awful, Paula. It took forever, and everyone, I mean
everyone was staring at me. Guys were grinning and leering at me. The TSAs were having the time of their lives. And my face was flushing really hot, so I'm sure it was obvious to everyone that I was embarrassed, which made it even worse. They had to be thinking, 'Why is she dressed like that if she's so embarrassed about it?' Oh, Paula, I'm turning red right now just talking about it."
"Oh, you poor dear. I know the feeling, trust me."
“It gets worse.”
“Of course it does.”
“I still had an hour and a half until my flight, so I headed for the ladies’ room to hide. But right as I pushed open the door, I suddenly was no longer holding my bag. It was off to the side against the wall, and it had another note. Same bright pink paper."
"Oh, jeez. What did it say?"
"Here it is: 'If you have to pee, go ahead. I'll give you three minutes. Then you are to proceed to your gate, take a seat and wait for your flight.' "
“I mean, I guess that was generous?”
“I didn’t even need to pee, but three minutes in a stall by myself was better than nothing, so I did that. Then I had to do the long walk to the gate. People were snapping pictures, and a group of college guys started following me.”
"How awful, Carlene. So you had to get on your flight like that?"
"Yes, but there's more. I'm sitting in a seat in the waiting area at the gate. Oh, and it was cold. I had goose bumps all over me. Anyway, I'm acting like I'm reading a book, even though I didn't digest a word. Next thing I know there is another note on my lap. I looked around, but I couldn't see the little fucker. I knew he was looming somewhere."
"What, pray tell, did the note say?" asked Paula. Though she sincerely felt for her friend, the mind-boggling tale had her rapt attention.
"Well, it was a long note, so I won't read you the whole thing. But I told you about those college guys that were following me. There were four of them, and they had been standing over by a pillar, pretty much staring at me the whole time I was sitting there. Anyway, the note told me to go over there and engage them. He told me exactly what I had to say. It wasn't good. It said I had to show my breasts to them and count one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi before I could cover up."
“Oh my God! Did you actually do it?” asked Paula anxiously.
"Well, at first I couldn't. I just couldn't. I started to get up, but I looked over there and I couldn't bring myself to go over there."
"I don't blame you! So what happened next? Did you get another note?"
"No, it was worse. I was suddenly completely naked. It only lasted for about a second and then I had the volleyball uni on again. It was so fast I don't think anyone saw it. If they did, they probably thought it was their imagination."
"Holy shit! I guess you got the message."
"Loud and clear. I mean, if I didn't do what he said I'm sure I'd be naked again, only this time for longer. So I forced myself to get up and walk over there and say what he told me to say."
"Which was?"
Carlene didn't know it, but Paula, to her surprise, was becoming somewhat titillated by Carlene's account. She would have thought after her own experience that she would be troubled by listening to Carlene's travails, but in fact it seemed to be having the opposite effect.
"I said—and I had to say it exactly as he wrote it—I said, 'I saw you guys staring at me. Just so you know, I am very embarrassed by the way I'm dressed. This is not my choice. I am being punished for being a very bad girl.' It was awful, Paula. My face was burning, and I couldn't look them in the eyes. I was staring straight down. Then I had to say, 'Would you guys mind if I show you my tits?' "
"Get out! I'm guessing they wouldn't mind," said Paula, actually stifling a giggle.
"No, of course not. So... so I lifted the sports bra up to my neck and counted to three like he said."
"No! Those three seconds must have felt like an eternity!"
"Ohhh, it was awful, Paula. They just stared—mouths hanging open with these shit-eating grins on their faces. One of them even snapped a photo right before I yanked my top back down.”
"Oh, Carlene..."
“I know. Thank God none of them were on my flight.”
"So then what? Was that it?”
"So then it was time to board. I thought for sure he was done. No way he would be on my flight."
"And?" asked Paula. A small part of her was hoping there was more to the story.
"So I got on the plane. I never got used to the stares, or the grins. And I got stuck with a middle seat. The woman on the aisle, a young, professional type looks me up and down and goes, ‘Aren’t you cold?’ She had a smile on her face."
Paula snorted. “She must have been enjoying it.”
“I just waved her off. The last thing I wanted was a conversation with my seatmates."
"Was Tommy on the plane?" Carlene didn’t hear the growing heat in Paula’s tone.
"I'll get to that. I was looking around before I sat down, and there were three or four guys on the plane that would be about his age, but I couldn't tell. One guy had a baseball cap pulled down low, so I couldn't really see his face. I was thinking no, no way he wants to fly three states away from home."
“Who had the window seat?”
"It was a guy. He was about Tommy's age at the time... at the time we did what we did to him. When I sat down, he was shocked by my... by my lack of clothing, and he was way too interested in ogling me."
"He probably felt like it was Christmas all over again." Paula giggled. "Sorry. So was that it? Was the flight uneventful?"
"Not by a long shot. About a half hour into the flight, I was convinced that he had gone back home, so I reached into my bag and pulled out my jeans and a sweater. I stood up to go to the bathroom and get dressed, but then..."
"Uh-oh, what?" asked Paula with bated breath.
"Then... my top was sitting on the lap of the kid next to me."
"Holy shit! You were half-naked!" Carlene remained unaware of Paula's increasing state of stimulation. She had intentionally found a way to insert the work "naked" into the conversation.
“Yes! I snatched it from him, sat down, and threw it back on as fast as I could. Oh God, Paula, it was awful. The lady and the kid both had their mouths open in disbelief. I just sat there with my arms crossed. My face... oh, my face was burning like never before."
“You poor thing,” consoled Paula, while pushing her right hand inside the front of her workout pants. She felt the dampness over her panties as she caressed her loins. She felt a tinge of guilt for deriving pleasure from her friend's humiliation, but she could not help herself.
"So then what happened? Was there any more stripping?" asked Paula, hoping to add fuel to her internal fire.
Carlene sighed. “Unfortunately. I guess he was still torturing me because I tried to get dressed, 'cuz a couple of minutes later... a couple of minutes later I was sitting there topless again. And my sports bra was nowhere in sight."
"Oh my!" Paula gasped as she rubbed herself a little more fervently. "You were almost naked again!"
“I know!” Carlene wailed, still completely oblivious to her friend's state of arousal. “I tried not to panic, 'cuz I didn't want to bring any more attention to myself, so I just sat there with my arms crossed over my chest, while I looked around frantically for my top."
"Didn't your seatmates notice that you were half-naked?" Paula's pleasure increased whenever she used the word. She allowed her fingers to slide inside her panties.
"Yes, but I think they were the only ones. The kid was in heaven 'cuz that day was probably the first time he had seen bared breasts in person since he sucked on his mommy's nipple. And the lady... I could tell she was actually enjoying my predicament. What's up with that? Why would anyone get off on someone else's humiliation?"
"I have no idea," replied Paula while she writhed her hips and fingered her clitoris.
Anyway, finally, the lady points across the aisle and says, ‘Is that what you’re looking for?’ My fucking sports bra was hanging halfway out of the overhead bin!”
“Nooo.”
“Yes! I didn't want to stand up, so I asked her if she could get it for me. Know what she said?"
"What?" asked Paula, now thoroughly immersed in her pleasure.
"She said, 'Sure, as soon as I finish my crackers.' Can you believe that shit?"
"No, that's nuts," said Paula as she barely managed to stifle another giggle.
"Anyway, so this bitch sits there and daintily eats her fucking crackers while I sit there frantic as hell, just hoping no one else would see me. Then she calmly gets up, opens the compartment and pulls out the bra. She holds it up and says, ‘Does this belong to you?'—just loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.”
Paula was having difficulty holding back her laughter. “And they all looked over, didn’t they?”
“They did! And they were amused! Like it was a show!”
“I just don’t understand people sometimes,” Paula said. “It's like they took pleasure in seeing you half-naked, when it was obvious you were in distress.” She moaned quietly to herself as she waited eagerly for the story to continue.
“Right? I don't get it. Anyway, this bitch has a smirk on her face as she hands me the sports bra.”
"Did anything else happen on the plane?" asked Paula, hopefully.
"No, but here comes the kicker. I might have a little trouble talking about this one."
But I won't have any trouble listening. "Please, Carlene, don’t hold back. Like you said, it's probably therapeutic."
"I think it is. So here goes. I'm walking through the baggage area on my way out to catch a cab and get the hell out of there. Next thing I know I am in the dark and I'm sitting on something moving, like a conveyer belt. I had no idea what was going on, Paula. It was scary. Then, I suddenly realized that, wherever I was, I was completely naked!"
"Sorry, Carlene, could you repeat that last part? You cut out," lied Paula.
“I was completely naked! And moving. Then I see daylight... and realize I’m on the baggage conveyor belt that feeds into the carousel!"
"Are you shitting me? And you were completely naked?" asked an extremely excited Paula. She was now massaging her vagina in earnest.
"I shit you not. I could see a whole bunch of people out there waiting for their luggage to start dropping down, so I tried to go against the direction of the belt, but... it was really slippery.
Paula moaned again.
"Then I realized why it was so slippery. I was covered from neck to toe with some lubricant—I'm pretty sure it was baby oil."
"Oh! Oh, God!"
"Yes! Oh, it was awful, Paula! There was so much of it that it was dripping off me. He must have used the whole bottle. Anyway, it was so slippery, I couldn't stop, and I slid down into the carousel, stark naked in front of all those people!"
"Oh, Carlene!" moaned Paula, now on the verge of ecstasy.
"I know! After I slid down, I tried to climb out but I was so greasy from all the oil that I kept slipping back down. I was going around the carousel and I heard everyone laughing hysterically as I kept sliding around in there."
"Oh, Carlene!" moaned Paula louder. "And you were naked!"
"I was completely naked, and I was helpless! It was so humiliating!"
"Ohhhhhhhhh!" she screamed as she experienced an orgasm unlike any she ever had before.
"Yes! Oh, thank you for your support, Paula. I can see you understand how I felt."
"You have no idea," said a completely satiated Paula.
"So I finally managed to slip out of the carousel," continued Carlene, unabated. "And that's when I saw him."
"You saw Tommy?" asked Paula. She was still interested, but was not nearly as much invested as she was a few moments before.
"Yes. He was the guy in the baseball cap I was telling you about. Anyway, he was standing next to a luggage cart holding my bag. I had to get my clothes from him, so I tried to get up, but I kept slipping. And he was a good twenty yards away. So I had to crawl to him on my hands and knees. Talk about humiliation!"
Paula’s eyes glazed slightly. “Oh, my goodness!” she said. Despite her recent climax, she felt another stirring in her loins as she pictured her humiliated friend, glistening with oil and crawling naked on all fours.
"I know! Anyway, he had this big grin on his face and all he said was that he was done with me for now and that I could get dressed."
"For now?" asked Paula. "So he's not done with you?"
"I don't know," said Carlene uneasily. "It's been a week. I guess he went back home. Anyway, thanks for listening. I really do feel a little better after talking to you."
I'm glad it helped. It definitely helped me.
"The pleasure was all mine," retorted Paula, quite honestly, finally pulling her hand out of her waistband.
