Time to make an escape.

I flexed and posed to the endless barrage of Debbie's camera phone shots. All the while I smiled and twirled making it appear like I was having the time of my life to the audience outside watching my performance through ten different screens.

Upon Debbie's insistence, I did the thinker pose, raised my biceps, bent down one knee while stretching out my other leg, let my hands slide up and down my chest, I was told to do pretty much every movement under the sun except cover up. Debbie didn't miss a single angle of my naked body and whenever I did a new pose for her, I could have sworn I heard cheering and clapping coming from outside the store window. Of course, at the time, I wrote it off as a coincidence or my imagination. By the time we were finished I had already worked up a sweat, panting lightly with my hands on my knees. Man, Debbie really worked my hard.

Then I heard clapping from right in front of me, "Whoo! That's my boy! Really workin' it for the camera Ben!" Buddy stepped forward and patted me on the back. "Did you get enough?" He turned to Debbie.

"Yes, this will satisfy me. For now." Debbie nodded at the new sights on her phone. "You boys have earned your reward." Debbie tossed over the white box containing Brittany's phone and I swiftly jumped up to catch it despite my weariness. Debbie grinned once more at the sight of me jumping around naked and I felt the need to place the box strategically before my genitals as my blush returned to broadcast my shame. "You boys have a good time, I know I will. Oh, and please come again Benjamin. You are officially my new favorite customer now." Debbie winked and then walked away with her phone full of my dignity.

"Um, you wouldn't have a back entrance we could use right?" I asked hopefully.

"Employees only." Was all Debbie said before she disappeared around a corner.

I didn't bother to dwell on Debbie's intentions with those humiliating pictures of me. I just wanted to get out of there now and worry about it later. "Hey Buddy, go outside and see if the coast is clear." Buddy raised and eyebrow. I sighed, "This time I promise I won't move a muscle until you give me the 'go ahead'". Buddy smiled and then nodded as he headed out before me. He managed to get me through the aisles just fine before we reached the front entrance with only a few close calls from shoppers passing by. Buddy exited the store while I waited nervously behind a display close to the front entrance, hoping no one coming in would spot the naked guy holding a cellphone box before his crotch.

Buddy came in a moment or two later with a look of uncertainty, "I...guess now we be okay to sneak out of the store."

"What do you mean you 'guess'?" I asked.

Buddy placed his hands on the back of his head looking thoughtful, "There is a whole bunch of people out there Benjamin. But here's the thing, they are all very distracted. I couldn't tell what it is because the crowd was too thick for me to see but for whatever reason, everyone outside is really focused on the window outside. Some of them look happy and confused but either way they are not looking anywhere else. I sincerely think this is the best time for you to run out of here."

I couldn't begin to understand what Buddy was saying exactly but I thought I could risk taking a peek into what I was walking into. Still holding the small box in front of my dick, I tiptoed out the front door of C.J. 's and stealthily poked my head around the corner to see if what Buddy said was true.

Sure enough, as my friend proclaimed, there were dozens of people outside the store window just a few feet away from me but they were too engaged in whatever they were looking at to notice me. Most of them appeared impatient and perplexed as if something they were looking at was missing something.

I had to agree with Buddy, this looked like my best shot.

Checking to see if anyone was leaving or entering the store, I grabbed Buddy by the shoulder once I knew no one was looking. I kept my voice low so no one but Buddy would hear, "Okay, I'm going to make a break for it. Cover me?"

Buddy nodded cheerily, "I'll stand out in the middle of the street. Once I give you the signal, you dash over to me and I'll walk behind you so the crowd doesn't see your naked ass."

I gave him a thumbs-up and Buddy walked down the steps of the emporium and into the street of busy people past the sidewalk. He glanced around a few times to look for anyone with any wandering gazes but appeared to have found none. Once he was convinced, Buddy turned his head in my direction and gave me a subtle nod. That was my signal.

I padded down the steps and into the sunlight; not running too fast so my feet didn't make a lot of noise. As it turned out, that didn't even matter. Before I even made it to Buddy, before I stepped off the sidewalk, without any rhyme or reason...

I sneezed. Loudly.
