George laid in his bed snuggled but against his wife. The morning was peaceful, quiet, as Geroge and his entire family was still asleep right before the sun rose.
George was the first to wake up. As he rose he looked down at his peacefully sleeping wife, who looked as beautiful as ever. George passionately kissed her on the forehead.
George then turned over and was filled with panic right as he looked at the clock.
“Oh my gosh, I’m late!” George cried as he jumped out of bed.
“What was that, George,” Mary asked as she woke up.
“Mary, look at the clock.”
Mary looked at the clock on her husband’s bedside table, and when she saw that it read 8:30, she was also panicked.
“Oh dear, we were supposed to be up 2 hours ago. I can’t believe we slept in.”
“I was supposed to be at the bank at 8:00. I hope they don’t care I’m about an hour late.”
George started to quickly taking off his pajamas and tried to get ready as quickly as possible. He was in such a hurry be didn’t even notice the fullness of his bladder. George forgot to use the bathroom like he does every morning when he wakes up, but he didn’t have time to.
“We’re lucky the children don’t have school today, or else they would’ve been very late,” Mary said as she stood up from the bed and put her robe on. “I’m going to get them up and ready now.”
George was fumbling with the buttons on his shirt, trying to get it on a fast as possible. He then quickly put on his pants, his sports coat, and his socks and shoes. Then he ran into the bathroom to comb his hair.
At that moment, George was starting to notice how badly he was needing to pee, but he knew he wasn’t going to have time to use the bathroom, so he was going to wait until he got to the bank. He was squirming around in place a lot and was crossing one leg over the other, making sure he could keep everything in before he got to work.
George made his hair look as decent as possible then grabbed his bag, his hat, and his coat then ran downstairs where his wife was, still squirming.
“I don’t have any time to eat breakfast this morning, dear,” George said as he kissed his wife on the forehead. “Tell the kids that I love them very much and I’ll see them at dinner tonight.”
“Wait, George, I-”
George cut his wife off as he looked down at his watch and said, “10 years working at that bank and this is the first time I’m late.”
“George, maybe you should-”
“Oh dear, how could’ve we slept in so late.”
“George-”
“Well, I have to go now. See you later, Mary. Love ya.” George started to walk out the front door.
“George!”
“What, Mary?”
“Maybe you should use the bathroom first.”
Mary definitely noticed George’s need for the bathroom, it was hard to miss. George’s legs were completely squeezed together as he was almost dancing around in place. He looked like his bladder was about to explode any minute, and that’s how it felt.
“I don’t have any time for that, Mary. I’ll go once I get to the bank.”
“Are you sure about that George, you look like you really need to go? You wouldn’t want to have an accident on the way to work and make yourself even later.”
“I’m a grown man, Mary. I’m not going to have an accident. I can hold it.”
“What if you can’t?”
“I can, Mary. I’ll be fine. Now, I really need to go, I’m already late as it is. Goodbye, Mary.”
“Whatever you say, George. Goodbye.”
George bolted out the door as fast as he could and got into the car. He was out of the driveway in a flash and zoomed down the street.
He was in terrible need of a toilet at this point, he was desperate. His bladder was throbbing. He kept one of his hands on the steering wheel, and the other was tightly gripping his crotch, he tried not to let a single drop out.
But he wasn’t far from his work when he felt himself starting to go. He quickly pulled his hand away from his pants and watched as they became soaked.
“Oh, this is just my luck.” He grumbled.
George quickly turned his car around and started to drive back to his house. Mary was right, he should’ve peed before he left the house. Now, he was later than he would be if he had just used the bathroom. He knew Mary was going to laugh at him for not listening to her, he probably deserved it. He was also kind of scared about his kids seeing him, they’ve never seen their dad wet himself before. He was supposed to be the adult that his kids look up to, maybe if they see he has had an accident like a child, they’ll think less of him. Or maybe he was just overthinking. He should’ve just listened to his wife.
