"No,
no, no!" Jasmine Allen cried softly as she stared at the bold handwritten
'Out of Order' sign stuck to the door of the ladies' bathroom. Hoping
against hope that a prankster put up the notice, she twisted the knob.
Locked. Damn it!
Had she
known that the car trip to Sydney's Royal National Park would take more than
two hours, courtesy of the broken-down truck that created a traffic jam on the
main highway, she wouldn't have drunk all that lemon and ginger tea for her
sore throat before they left her sister's home.
She squinted
at the map someone pinned to the door showing the directions to the nearest
available ladies' room. It indicated it was about a five-minute walk
away. But with her bladder close to bursting, she didn't have five
minutes.
Well,
there's the men's room, she thought desperately.
She walked
around the small red brick building that stood amongst gum trees and chirping
birds, hidden from the view of the picnic area where her sister Jessa, her
fiancé Rob, and their friends were gathered for Rob's birthday.
She tried to
listen for sounds from inside the men's restroom but couldn't hear
anything. With fingers crossed that no one was inside, she cautiously
placed her hand on the door to push it.
She let out
a short yelp as the door was yanked open from the inside. Her eyes opened
wide as they landed on a dark-haired man whose blue eyes stared back at her in
horrified surprise.
Jasmine's
mind went blank, forgetting for a moment why she was there. There was no
other way to describe the man in front of her. He was a total hunk.
She gaped at him for a long second, until her body reminded her she needed to
go. Now.
"I
think the ladies' room is around the corner to your right," Mr. Hunk said,
seemingly recovered from his shock.
"It's
out of order," she squeaked as she shoved him out of the way and ran for
one of the cubicles.
