The Unintentional Streak
Post Part 1
I stood in the kitchen, the cold tiles biting into my bare feet, my heart pounding so loudly I was sure it could be heard in the next room. My mind was a whirlwind of panic and regret. How had I gotten myself into this mess? The plan had seemed so simple, so bold—walk into the lounge naked, remind James of what he’d been ignoring, and maybe, just maybe, spark something between us again. But now, as I clutched the edge of the counter, I realized just how spectacularly I’d miscalculated.
I had expected the lounge to be empty or, at the very least, occupied only by my husband. Instead, I had walked in to find him sitting on the couch with two of his friends, all of them glued to the football game on TV. The noise from the commentators and the occasional cheer had masked my entrance, allowing me to slip past unnoticed. But now, I was trapped. The only way back to the safety of the bedroom was through the lounge, and the thought of retracing my steps made my stomach churn.
“What am I going to do?” I whispered to myself, my voice trembling. I couldn’t stay in the kitchen forever. What if one of them came in for a beer? The thought of being discovered like this made me want to sink through the floor.
Just as I was about to gather the courage to make a run for it, I heard James’s voice calling from the lounge. “Honey? Are you in the kitchen? Come join us! The game’s getting good!”
My heart dropped into my stomach. Of all the times for him to invite me to join them, why now? I couldn’t possibly go out there like this. But how could I refuse without sounding suspicious?
“Uh, no thanks!” I called back, my voice cracking. “I’m just… grabbing a drink!”
“Come on, it’s a great game!” he insisted, his tone light and cheerful, completely unaware of the nightmare unfolding just a few feet away.
I froze, my mind racing. Before I could come up with another excuse, I heard footsteps approaching. My breath hitched as I realized one of the guests was heading toward the kitchen. I glanced around, desperate for somewhere to hide, but the kitchen offered no refuge.
The door swung open, and there he was—James’s friend, standing in the doorway with a beer in hand. His eyes widened as he took in the scene, and for a moment, we just stared at each other in stunned silence.
“Uh… hi,” I managed to squeak out, my face burning with humiliation.
He blinked, then quickly averted his eyes, his face turning red. “Sorry, I—uh—just needed another beer,” he stammered, backing out of the kitchen as if he’d seen a ghost.
I stood there, frozen, as the sound of his footsteps retreated. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it might burst. A second later, I heard muffled laughter from the lounge, and my stomach twisted into knots.
“What’s so funny?” James asked, his voice tinged with curiosity.
“Nothing, man, nothing,” his friend replied, still chuckling. “Just… go check on your wife.”
I knew what was coming next. Sure enough, James appeared in the doorway, his expression shifting from confusion to shock as he saw me standing there, completely exposed.
“What the—?!” he exclaimed, his voice rising. “What are you doing?!”
I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. How could I possibly explain this? Instead, I just stood there, my face burning with shame as his friends’ laughter echoed from the lounge.
“I—I was just…” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. “I thought you were alone…”
“Alone?!” he hissed, his face turning red. “Why would you—? Never mind. Just… go upstairs! Now!”
I didn’t need to be told twice. I bolted past him, my cheeks flaming, and raced up the stairs. But just as I reached the top, I felt his hand gently grab my arm, stopping me in my tracks.
“Wait,” he said, his voice softer now. “Are you… comfortable going back down as you are?”
I turned to look at him, my eyes wide with disbelief. “What?!”
He shrugged, a small, almost mischievous smile playing on his lips. “Well, everyone’s already seen you. And honestly, you’re beautiful as you are. Why not just own it?”
I stared at him, my mind reeling. Was he serious? After everything that had just happened, he wanted me to go back down there like this?
“Are you out of your mind?!” I hissed, pulling my arm away. “I can’t believe you’re even suggesting that!”
He chuckled, his tone light but still tinged with embarrassment. “I’m just saying, it’s not the end of the world. They’re my friends. They’ll get over it.”
“I’m not going back down there!” I snapped, my voice rising. “This is humiliating enough as it is!”
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Alright, alright. I get it. But just so you know, I think you’re stunning, no matter what.”
I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at the corners of my mouth. Despite everything, his words had managed to ease some of the tension.
“Thanks,” I muttered, my voice still shaky. “But I’m still not going back down there.”
He nodded, his expression softening. “Fair enough. I’ll, uh, go smooth things over with the guys. You just… take your time up here.”
As he turned and headed back downstairs, I leaned against the wall, letting out a long, shaky breath. The night had been a disaster, but at least James had managed to find a way to make me feel a little better. Still, as I heard the laughter from downstairs, I couldn’t help but wonder how we’d ever recover from this.
