Stay silent

Leanne backed up against the wall and held her breath. She grabbed what little clothing she was wearing and pulled it tight around her. Anxiously she waited as the worker stepped closer. It seemed to take forever. Each passing second lasting minutes. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest and Leanne was sure the noise alone would give her away.

Eventually the worker came level with Leanne and the young woman closed her eyes. Hoping that would somehow help keep her undetected. Suddenly a box started to come loose in the worker's grasp and slide out slightly. She stopped as she tried to deal with it, only inches from Leanne's tense half naked body. She pressed herself against the wall, wishing she could somehow merge into it.

She thought about just giving the offending box a helpful nudge back where it came from but that meant risking giving up her position. Then the worker turned towards her and Leanne had to stifle an impulse to shriek. The woman had the idea of using the wall to help readjust her stack of boxes and she was aiming for the exact spot where Leanne was quietly trying to hide.

Thinking quickly, as the worker moved towards her Leanne stepped silently to the right. Remaining out of her line of sight as she bumped against the wall where Leanne had just been stood. She was now standing directly behind the worker. She could turn and run but wanted to wait and see what the woman did next.

With the boxes safely stacked up once more the worker gave a heavy sigh and puffed her cheeks before turning and continuing on her original path. Now it was Leanne's turn to breathe a sigh of relief. She watched the worker waddle away before noiselessly heading in the opposite direction down the corridor. She was almost at the corner and safely out of sight, turning back every few seconds to check on the worker's progress. However, her focus had been so much on what was happening behind her that she didn't see the old woman ahead until it was too late.

The aged resident stared at Leanne, her mouth open in shock as she looked the underdressed young woman up and down. Leanne froze, silently begging the pensioner not to say anything. The old woman's attention switched to the worker halfway down the corridor and Leanne thought about making a run for it. However, before she could do anything the resident suddenly grabbed her top. Leanne tried to free herself but the grip was surprisingly firm. Struck by panic she tugged frantically until finally the old lady’s grip loosened and Leanne was sent stumbling backwards.

There was a brief moment where the two stared at each other silently before Leanne turned and sprinted away down the corridor. Out of sight of both the resident and the worker. She looked around the hallway. Searching desperately for a place to hide that wouldn't cause any further problems in her current state of undress.
