A naked Amanda runs into the mall

Amanda ran out of the store, pushing past the astonished shoppers and trying to ignore the stares in her peripheral vision. It was very hard. The mall was packed that day, and everyone in her vicinity stared directly at her, or tried to pretend that she wasn’t there.

Every pair of eyes traveling the length of her naked skin felt like a spotlight shining down on Amanda, and she was a failed actress who forgot her lines and was about to face the ridicule of her audience.

Amanda’s pulse quickened as more sweat poured down her brow. If she thought people were judging her now, just wait until the ride home if she lost the bet. She HAD to find that thief.

There she was, the little minx! She was halfway down the escalator. The naked woman gave chase, flinching as her bare feet took steps on the metal grill of the escalator. A small pain compared to what she would have to endure if she failed.

Sidestepping the other people waiting to reach the ground floor, Amanda managed to close the distance between her and the thief. She stretched her hand forward to snatch her backpack-

“Mandi, is that you?” A voice froze Amanda in her tracks, taking her out of the chase and back to reality. Instinctually, she moved her limbs over her crotch and put on a sheepish smile.
