Kate will work bottomless too

Lucy stared at Kate expectantly. Just how does Kate expect to fix this mess?

Kate tapped her chin pensively as she thought. After a few moments, she stuck her finger out, enlightened, "I've got it!"

Lucy replied, "Well, let's hear it."

Kate planted her hands on her hips as she proclaimed her solution, "How about I work bottomless too."

Before Lucy even had time to process what Kate had just suggested, Kate had already whisked her shorts back off and was holding them in plain view of the empty diner. Lucy's face turned a unique shade of red when she realized this would still mean working bottomless.

"W-w-wait! That doesn't solve the problem here!" Lucy retorted.

Kate smiled back at Lucy's pouting expression and told her, "Oh come on, don't be such a spoilsport. I'm sure Cassy will even do it too."

Cassy looked at Kate sternly, "Excuse me, I'll do what now?"

Kate only had a smirk on her face when she replied to Cassy, "Well, you were the one who soiled poor Lucy's jeans in coffee. It's only fitting that you would make it up to her by doing the same."

Cassy was losing her footing a bit, but she continued to push back. "This is not the same. You two have aprons on. Even bottomless, you are covered from the front and sides."

No one else might've noticed, but Kate heard a faint trembling to Cassy's voice. Kate could tell Cassy wasn't as strong in her words as she tried to sound. Kate threw her shorts onto the stack of clothes on the table and spoke right back, "And you are nicely hidden in this booth. No one would be looking back here anyway. If any customers come in, Lucy will be running around the restaurant like this. Don't tell me you just wanted to see Lucy's bare ass so badly you would do something like this?" Kate covered her mouth to feign shock.

Cassy couldn't muster the words anymore to argue. "B-but I... I just.. I don't..." Her eyes darted back and forth between Kate and Lucy, searching for the words she needed.

Lucy now stood beside the table next to Kate, unsure whether to stand up for Cassy or not. Cutting that thought short, Kate spoke again, "Or are you just scared of showing off your own ass?"

That. Was. It.

Cassy was already pushed to the edge. She was not about to be accused of being a pervert and a coward. Lucy had never seen anyone remove a skirt so fast. In one motion, Cassy pulled her skirt out and slammed it onto the table so hard the condiments on it jumped and everything rattled.

After a moment of silence in sheer awe, Kate clapped her hands together and exclaimed, "Excellent! Since you did that for us, Cassy, I'll cut you a deal. Lucy's jeans need a good soak, and we've got an extra apron in the back. If you go clean them, I'm willing to offer you the apron. Of course, if you'd rather just stay hidden in this booth, no one will stop you."

Cassy mulled the idea over. She didn't enjoy the thought of sitting here until the end of Kate and Lucy's shift, but at least she wouldn't need to flash anyone.
