Hiding in the back room

Nancy glanced around Scoops Ahoy frantically, spotting a door behind the counter. It was the only exit from the fairly busy seating area that didn’t entail going out into the even busier open area of the mall.

“Ok, there’s another Demogorgon to fight,” Mike said. “We need to plan this.”

“Quickly!” Nancy whispered.

There was another crackle. Several pairs of eyes widened, and Nancy couldn’t help but shriek as the same, elongated limb reached out. That time it grabbed at the hem of her top; she batted at it frantically, not wanting to be left in just her underwear, especially as there was no hiding the fact she was in just a bra with the table.

It released its grasp, and the others at the table looked underneath just in time to see another long-fingered hand push Nancy’s pale legs apart, so that instead of her top it wrenched away her panties, leaving her pussy utterly bare for a shocked seconds as the Demogorgon withdrew and the portal closed.

Nancy squealed, and slapped her legs shut, cheeks blazing from the view everyone had gotten.

“It’s not going away,” Nancy whimpered.

She pushed the bottom of her top down awkwardly, trying and failing to stretch it enough to hide even a fraction of her ass. She’d never wanted to feel the hard plastic of the chair against her bare butt.

She looked around again, just as panicked.

“At least it’s not hurting you,” Max said.

“Try saying that when you’re naked in the mall!” Nancy whispered back. She looked to Steve. “You know the waitress?”

“Yeah, I work here,” Steve said. “My day off.”

“Can you get her to unlock that door?” Nancy said. “I don’t want to be out here if it comes back.”

“I, yeah,” Steve said. “No one should be back there today. Just her on duty.”

“Quickly!” Nancy said.

She never spoke any louder than humiliated whisper would let her, terrified by the prospect of someone looking over. The tables really weren’t great cover.

She watched as Steve got up and walked over to…Robin, he’d said her name was. She watched, too, as Robin used her key to open the door, before looking questioningly at Steve.

Nancy took a deep breath. Right, now for the hard part. If she stayed here though, she was going to end up even more exposed to the café, so she knew this was the best option. That didn’t make it something it was easy to psyche herself up for.

Nancy pushed her chair back, and it screeched against the floor as she kicked it away, sprinting bottomless through the café. Robin’s jaw dropped at the sight of the half-naked woman rush past her, her ass the last part of her Robin saw as she ducked into the backroom.

“Ok, what?” Robin said flatly.

Nancy crouched just on the far side of the door, sobbing. She just prayed no one had seen her face, maybe then she could live this down. Her butt touched the floor, and she stared despairingly out into the empty back room. A table, a few storage supplies… naturally nothing to replace her missing clothes.

Hopefully it wouldn’t come back.

“It’s complicated,” Steve said. “She, uh, needed a place to hide.”

“I saw that,” Robin said. “Saw a lot. Again. What?”

There was quiet for a few seconds. Panicked, Nancy scrambled back up to her feet, peering through the small glass window in the door.

“Steve?” she said. “Steve, are you-”

“Still here,” Steve said. “Uh, but we should be heading off. We need… stuff.”

He emphasized the last word. Stuff to fight with, right, they couldn’t take on the Demogorgon bare-handed.

“You can’t leave me here alone!” Nancy said. “I don’t know what it might…”

For all she knew, she’d end up wrenched back into the Downside Up or whatever the hell they were calling it. That or it might want to eat more than her intimates.

The door rattled. Nancy shrieked.

“Don’t come in!” she said.

“Then what do you want me to do?” Steve said. “You want someone to make sure you’re ok, but…”

“I don’t want to end up naked in front of a guy again!” Nancy squealed.

She crouched, glancing back nervously. Her cheeks heated up just from the feel of the air on her butt, the way her top hung heavily on her top half making her all the more aware of her bottomless state.

A top, a bra, shoes and socks. It wasn’t much to be wearing in public.

“Can I jump in?” Robin said. “So she’s going to end up naked, for some reason, in our supply room, and someone’s got to make sure she’s ok? I volunteer. Same parts here and all, won’t be as bad as some dude. You good with that?”

“I guess,” Nancy squeaked.

It was the best of a bad situation. A stranger, sure, but at least a stranger that shouldn’t exactly want to ogle her. Right? Still embarrassing, but not quite as humiliating as the alternatives.

“I don’t know,” Steve said. “Robin, it could get… weird.”

There was a pause. Robin elbowed Steve, and Nancy could’ve sworn she heard her hiss a ‘don’t ruin this for me!’ Then there was a cough.

“Alright,” Steve said. “Alright. Robin, you look after Nancy. If something weird happens, we warned you. I’ll be with the kids to get ready to deal with the you-know-what. Stay safe!”

The door handle rattled again. Flailing a bit, Nancy stumbled away from it and hurried to the side of the back room. She stood with her back to the wall and both hands over her bare pussy as Robin walked inside.

“Hey,” Robin said. Her eyes darted down to Nancy’s bare legs in what Nancy assumed was probably just surprise at seeing her like this. “I’ll be honest, this is way more interesting that how work usually goes.”
