James sees her

As Ashley marveled at the box like it was a box of treasure, she heard a sudden gasp. She whipped around and locked eyes with James, who unsurprisingly went wide-eyed at the sight of his best friend completely naked in the back room of a library.

“What?” Margaret said, and turned to James. Ashley quickly ducked down before Margaret looked over to where Ashley had been. Seeing nothing, she turned back to James. “What is it?”

“I, um...it was, uh...” James stuttered. “I-I need to go take a look at something real quick.” Margaret gave him a concerned look, but nodded. James began to quickly make his way over to Ashley. Seeing this, Ashley moved away and tried to stay out of sight. Cradling the box, she sidestepped James and went around behind him, heading for the door. She just had to make it there, and she would be fine, right?

Ashley ducked into a little corner and peeked around on her knees. She could only see Margaret, as well as the door, which wasn’t too far now. She just had to go for it, so she psyched herself up, starting to lift up, and-

“Ash?”

It felt like Ashley had jumped five feet in the air as she whipped around to find James staring at her. His eyes immediately locked on to her exposed breasts, and her face burned. James was staring at her chest!! Her best friend was staring at her chest!!! Ashley brought the box up to cover them as fast as possible. Thanks to how she was seated, he wouldn’t be able to see anything down below, which would’ve made this entire thing so much worse. He shook his head and **** his eyes back up to hers. “What the hell are you doing?!”

“It’s...a long story...” Ashley said. She looked over her shoulder at Margaret. Thankfully, she hadn’t seemed to have heard anything. Ashley turned back to James, who was still staring intently at her, which was only making her embarrassment grow. “L-Listen, I can explain later, but right now, I need you to cause a distraction so I can get out of here without being seen.” James stayed silent and simply stared at her for a few agonizing moments. Finally, he sighed.

“You better explain this, okay?” He said, and she nodded, desperately wanting him to go away and stop staring at her nude body. He hesitated for a second before he stood up and walked back over to Margaret. “Hey, can I ask you a question?”

“Yes?” Margaret said, turning to him and therefore putting her back to Ashley. Ashley stood up slightly, keeping the box over her chest, as James could still see her.

“What’s that over there?” James said, pointing behind him at the window.

“That’s...a window?” Margaret answered. Ashley stood up completely, and when James’ eyes went wide again, it took her a moment to realize he could now see her no longer hidden crotch. Somehow, her blush deepened, and she moved one hand from the box to her crotch, trying to signal to him to keep going. Thankfully, he quickly recovered, and continued.

“N-no...um...the thing...outside the window.” He said, pointing. Margaret put her glasses on and squinted, but couldn’t see anything. Meanwhile, behind her, Ashley crept over to the door, then realized she’d have to use a hand to open it. She began to panic, not wanting to show neither her chest nor her crotch, so she didn’t know what to do. And James staring at her didn’t help!

James kept trying to assure Margaret that something was outside when Ashley finally realized what she could do. She really didn’t want him to see her chest or her pussy, but...

With a deep breath, Ashley turned around, removing the hand from her crotch and opening the door, giving James a brief glance at her ass before she left the room, quietly closing the door behind her.

Ashley ducked down behind the front desk with the box clutches tightly against her body. Finally, she let out a long-deserved sigh of relief. She rested against the desk for a moment before she set the box down, grabbed the coat, and did her best to put it on while sitting.

Once it was mostly on, she finally stood and fixed the rest of it, finally covered once more. Ashley felt like crying as she walked out from behind the front desk on shaky legs. No one from the book club seemed to pay her any mind, as they had already begun talking about their book, and so she walked past them to the door. She stopped just before exiting and looked back at the back room door.

How on earth was she gonna explain this to him?

Putting that thought aside for now, she stepped out, and promptly made her way back to her dorm, to be safe, sound, and fully clothed once again.
