I was staying at a hotel during a business trip. I went swimming in a pair of trunks that only stay on if I tie the drawstring tight. The pool area was busy, but not crowded, mostly by sunbathers. I set my stuff down by the deep end of the pool, undoing the tie 'accidentally', and dove in. I swam the length of the pool underwater and surfaced near the stairs in the shallow end. The water was still up to about my waist.
As I stood up, I heard some giggling behind me. I turned around, and one of the women sunbathing was sitting on the edge of the pool with my shorts in her hand. I looked down, acting shocked that they were not still on my body. I over to her, and leaned against the wall to 'hide' my front and trying to keep low in the water. As I got close, she got up and went back over to where she had been laying out.
"If you want them back, you have to come get them," she said, snickering. This also got the attention and laughter from the others around the pool.
With a sigh of resignation, I went to lift myself out of the pool where I was. Just before I could get out, she said, "Uh-uh. No, you don't. You have to use the steps and walk around. I'll throw them over the fence if you don't."
I didn't have to fake surprise and embarassment now. I swam back over to the steps, looked around quickly, and only then noticed that everyone in the pool area was watching me. A couple of the women were whistling, while the few guys that were there were laughing and applauding. My face felt like it was on fire as I walked up the steps and around the edge of the pool to where the woman was holding my swim trunks hostage. One of her friends apparantly had retrieved the remainder of my stuff, and placed it near another lounge chair between the two of them. They told me to sit, and let me cover up with my towel, but wouldn't give me back my trunks.
We sat and chatted for about half an hour. They finally gave me back my trunks, and we all went back to our own rooms.
I was terrified I'd get caught and thrown out of the hotel. No one complained, though.
