An Eventful Cab Ride

Getting a cab for Debbi proved to be not such an easy matter. The local cab trade was dominated by the Muslim community and it was Ramadan. The first three cabs the receptionist called took one look at the young woman dressed in a white lace teddy that left nothing to the imagination and decided that was far too much temptation during a time of fasting and abstention. Debbi was getting ever more overwrought, subject to so many stares and comments as people meandered in and out of the lobby and conscious that she was now out of time to get to the wrap up meeting that Jeff was holding. The fourth attempt at calling a cab finally brought success when they hit on a cheerful cockney Uber driver who smiled indulgently at Debbi's predicament. "No worries luv, you'd be surprised what we see in the cab on a Friday night. You're going to have to sit up front with me though, Rusty's in the back !"

Debbi was in no mood to argue, though she was not keen in strapping herself into her seat belt next to the driver with the long length of her bare legs on full display and the belt stretching the material of the teddy even tighter over her nipples. Rusty it turned out was a chocolate lab who turned on the charm such that Debbi momentarily forgot her predicament and turned to pet him, giving the cabbie even more enticing views. "Ah, he's such a sweetie" she cooed. "He frets if I leave him at home" the driver explained as he pulled out into the traffic. "So you always take him with you ?" Debbi asked, squirming delightedly as Rusty leaned in over to lick her neck. "Yeah, he's normally in the front with me but we were off duty when the office called saying there was someone desperate for a ride." "Oh thank you" said Debbi. "The Muslim guys wouldn't take me cos of the way I'm dressed" she explained. "Their loss" replied the cabbie, as Debbi briefly outlined what had happened, deciding to portray herself as the model whose clothes had been stolen rather than go into all the details of being a sales manager.

Debbi continued petting the dog. "So does it pay well then ?" she asked, eager to change the subject away from her state of undress. "Not great, it's a tough contract" admitted the cabbie. "But I've got a neat little side-line. I post Tik Tok videos of people's reactions to Rusty here being in the cab. Look, you're on camera !" He pointed to a cam fixed at the top of the window that appeared to be pointed directly at Debbi's crotch. "You're not posting me online looking like this" Debbi exclaimed angrily. "Why not ? Nobody else has ever objected" the driver countered. "Nobody else would have been dressed like me would they ?" Debbi pointed out. "Whose fault's that ? I was doing you a favour" said the cabbie, pulling over. "Why are you stopping ? We're not there yet" cried Debbi. "I was doing you a favour but if that's your attitude you can get out now" the driver explained, unsnapping Debbi's seat belt and reaching across her to open the door. "Out" the driver exclaimed again, giving her shoulder a shove. Debbi hastily grabbed her bag and found herself stranded outside on the pavement !

She looked around to get her bearings as the cab pulled away. The reality of her situation quickly dawned on her. It was school run time and this part of town at this time of day was particularly busy. She rapidly found herself the centre of unwanted attention. Looking up the road, she saw that the Uber had been stopped at a set of traffic lights. Without thinking further, she set off on a run, waving her arms and calling and not caring about the spectacle she was providing. She could see Rusty stood on the back seat wagging his tail. "Stop, you can use any footage, stop, wait !" For once that day, fate was with her and she reached the cab before the lights changed. The cabbie unlocked the door. "What was that ?" "I said fine, you can publish on Tik Tok." Debbi settled back in her seat, red faced. "Could be our most successful video yet eh Rusty ?" said the cabbie contentedly to his dog.
