Run to the bathroom, but...

Ashley looked around frantically. She was bottomless outside in a public park?! How could James leave her in a situation like this?! She growled. He was gonna regret it when she saw him next.

...if he found her threatening at all, which wasn’t likely. But that wasn’t what she needed to be focusing on right now! She needed to do something! Someone could show up at any moment and see her!

Ashley’s mind flashed through the possible consequences. She could get seen, get reported for public indecency, especially in a place with children! That could get her arrested, she could lose her spot in her college, and ruin her chances for the future!!

Ashley felt like crying as these thoughts ran through her mind. Then, she shook her head and mentally slapped herself. No! She needed to focus! She wouldn’t let that happen, not after all the work she’d put in! Ashley continued looking around, and spotted a public bathroom. She wrinkled her nose, but it was the best she could see at the moment.

Clutching her shirt as far down as she could go, she rushed towards it. She reached it quickly and grabbed the handle, thankful to find it unlocked. She thrust the door open, rushed inside. In her panic, she closed the door pretty forcefully as she flipped around once inside the room. She rested her palms against the door, bending over as she tried to steady her nerves and catch her breath.

Then, she heard a clearing of a throat behind her.

Ashley whipped back around to find a man gawking at her as he sat on the toilet seat. When she turned, his already wide eyes grew wider. After the quick realization that she had just flashed her ass to him for several seconds, she then also realized she was now flashing something else. She screeched as her hands shot between her legs.

“Wh-wh-why are you in here?!” Ashley yelled.

“Because...I was using the bathroom?” The guy answered, still hawking.

“N-no! I mean why is the door unlocked then?!” She yelled.

“I guess I forgot to lock it...” the man said. Ashley, out of respect, looked away, even though he had been given a nice amount of time to look at her.

“Who forgets to lock the door in a place like this?!” She asked, then shook her head. “Whatever! Listen, I need you to forget you ever saw me!”

“Yeah, I don’t think I can do that...” he said, finally looking her in the eyes. She groaned. “What are you doing?” Ashley quickly explained what had happened, but by the end, he gave her a look that said he didn’t completely believe her. Still, he shrugged. “I mean, either way, I can see that you’re definitely...Er...exposed.” He said, and Ashley’s face burned.

“C-can you give me your pants or something?” She pleaded. The man hesitated.

“I’m...not so sure...” he said.

“Come on! Surely you wouldn’t leave a woman like this?!” She continued to plead. He still hesitated. “Fine! Then can you please help me find some way to get out of here without being seen?” The man mulled it over, and nodded. He grabbed some toilet paper and Ashley looked away completely—still making sure she wasn’t flashing him anything else—as he wiped. Then he stood, and for whatever reason, Ashley glanced over at that moment, gasping as she caught a peek at something she’d rather have never seen. Her face only flushed more, but he didn’t seem to notice her peeking as he flushed and washed his hands.

“My name is Pierce.” He said. “What’s yours?” Ashley debated whether she should reveal her identity or not. She decided that just a first name would probably be fine.

“Ashley...” she said quietly. He finished up, dried off his hands, and faced her.

“Well, Ashley, I may have an idea.” He said, smiling. Ashley raised an eyebrow.
