Narrative:

We were #3 for takeoff. #1 single engine departed, 1 aircraft landed. Aircraft that had departed reported door open and was returning to land, #2 PA31 was cleared for takeoff. We were expecting to let aircraft with open door land before we departed. The WX was hot so we had not closed our door or the small window on left side. Then is when I feel that things started to depart from the normal pattern. Tower cleared us to go. We had trouble closing the door. We then departed and were following a PA31 very close in order to let no depart before the aircraft with open door was in position to land. We were watching the PA31 (our traffic) at 2 mi and not watching our altitude. We went through the bottom of the class 'B' airspace up to 2200 ft MSL, tower called alerted us and told us to descend. I feel the problem was caused by me rushing to get ready to depart. Not requesting flight following or filing IFR. My concern for the traffic that I was following, more than where my aircraft was.
