Skirts and bicycles

I arrived in school 15 minutes earlier than my work time. As I entered the gate I saw Levi cycling around with the two-seat bicycle. He stopped in front of me and asked me to sit behind him. I looked at the tiny sit and smiled, "Sorry love, I don't think I can fit there." He looked at the seat, then at me and assured me that I can fit and that I don't need to worry because he is strong and can cycle even if I'm heavy. His eyes were pleading and his voice begging for me to sit down behind him so we can go at least a few rounds. Aaahhhmmmm..... O---kay.

I wanted to give it a try but however I look at it, I can't decide how I can squeeze myself in that minuscule seat.

Ting! Idea popped up! "Levi, it will be difficult for me to sit there coz I'm wearing a skirt. Perhaps we can try again next time when I wear my pants.

Levi's eyes dropped to the floor. I put my things down, went behind him and pretended to sit on the bike. Levi smiled and cycled along with me trailing along with legs astride the bike. Six happy rounds and we are done. Levi gave me a hug before I stepped inside the school. Punched my card. 10 minutes late :)
