Jealousy is a funny thing. I have a funny relationship with it.
Sometimes I get angry.
Sometimes I get…new lingerie. And fishnets, and a proper trench, and I wear those things on a flight as I close in to re-stake a claim. People stare—in the airport, on the plane, in the Lyft—wondering about the woman in a semi stripper costume out in public.
Yes, that’s right. This is exactly how I meant to look. I have something to attend to.
I lingered at the back of the plane, walking out dead last, both to tease out the suspense and also to ensure the fewest number of strangers would catch a glimpse of my ass cheeks in the higher-than-expected vent cut up the back of the coat. This was a variable for which I had not planned. The thigh-highs and heels were still my only choice for garments below the waist. Oh, and the tiny red thong, but really that was just because it matched the tiny red bra.
