6.53 Game Over - Socks and Shoes

"You're correct, Mom", I returned disappointed.

"You don't need to be bummed, hun. After all this is a process and now we're one step closer to the solution"

"We're not if that stuff is only for small amounts..."

"Except it's not, because Tyler gave us products with different absorbencies just in case of a misjudge", Mom told me proudly and I couldn't deny that was more than I would've believed him to be capable of ^^ So I just bit the bullet in order to keep our new-found harmony intact. I saw Mom really put in an effort.

"Then it's fine I guess. Sorry for bad-mouthing Mr. Colt", I finally apologized.

"It's okay, honey. But now you gotta go to the restroom quickly", Mom commanded and tried to shove me towards the toilets. When I didn't move her eyes lowered to the small puddle between my feet.

"I...I...I'm...so sorry", I stammered embarrassed and started crying again.

"Oh my gosh, your socks and shoes got wet, too"

"Please don't shout at me again, Mommy", I said scared, but Mom just put her arms around me.

"What? No...no...don't worry, hun...it was my fault I held you up after all...please stop crying, poor you"

"I can't...I'm just so exhausted from this happening to me all the time and being wet", I complained into her shoulder while she caressed my back to calm me down.

"Okay, I see. Let me think about it for a second. So we could just rush home as fast as possible to put it behind you or if you don't wanna I might as well go home alone, get the car and pick you up", Mom offered which I found great.

"If you brought fresh panties with you that would be amazing, but...what am I going to do here for half an hour in wet panties then?", I whined.

"Well, you could always just stay in the restroom until I'm back in case you don't wanna wait outside"

"But I can't jam the restroom for half an hour...and also...I don't wanna be alone for so long", I added tearing up again. Mom kissed me on the forehead and thought about it again.

"What if you only had to wait five minutes?", she suddenly asked me with a bright smile and I nodded.

"Sounds great"

"Then just wait here. I'll be back quickly, honey", Mom announced and kissed me on the forehead again. Then she smiled at me and rushed around the corner where the supermarket was. Meanwhile I slowly walked over to the restroom in my wet panties and tried to act as normal as possible. When I looked around I noticed I had indeed left a wet spot right in front of the store. I prayed no one would notice it! To distract myself from it I pulled off my wet socks and shoes and suddenly stood there barefooted waiting for Mom.
