Chapter fifty-one
Sir:
Are you okay?
I understand that this is a new dynamic, but you cannot just leave us both emotionally hanging at the end of a scene like that. It’s not healthy for either of us.
I have to know you’re okay. You’ve got one more hour before I break my own rule and activate the tracking feature on your phone.
Pet:
Are you fucking kidding me??
Lose this number, asshole.
Sir:
Glad you’re okay.
Pet:
I am NOT okay. I signed up for whatever this is to get off, that’s what you’re good for, and you didn’t fulfill your promise.
I’m as horny and as frustrated as I’ve ever been in my life.
I don’t know why you treated me so callously and wouldn’t let me explain myself or apologize.
Sir:
This is why I would have preferred that you stayed for aftercare. We could have calmed down and then discussed this. Now we’re relegated to doing this by text, which is impersonal. But it’s what we’ve got so, listen to me, pet.
As to your accusation that I treated you callously, if you truly think that, I’m sorry. If it’s the emotional release talking, I would have sincerely liked to have been there to help you ride it out. I want to be very clear.
Letting you explain yourself would have served no purpose.
There was no reason you could have given that would have made tardiness acceptable. You did apologize, and I accepted, but that doesn’t change your punishment. You took your punishment and that means it’s over now and in the past.
As to fulfilling promises, the punishment for tardiness was explicitly detailed in section 24 b of the contract you signed so prettily and assured me that you had read.
I don’t want apologies. I want corrected behavior, and if I don’t enforce our contract, then it’s useless, on both ends.
Pet:
I…
It was really long. I was tired that week, and I kinda skimmed the punishment section because I had no intention of misbehaving.
Sir:
I’m sure you didn’t, because you’re a very good girl.
But everyone slips up, so it was bound to happen.
I’m extremely disappointed that you didn’t read everything.
It could have led to a much worse outcome than this, particularly if I had attempted to punish you in a more severe way that I thought you had consented to.
Based on your lack of response, perhaps you need more time to think about things. You know where to find me.
Pet:
I’m sorry.
Sir:
You’ve already been forgiven, pet.
Pet:
I don’t want my mistake to affect our next time together.
Feeling the things I do when we’re together has opened up another aspect of myself I didn’t know existed.
I don’t want to be awkward and stifled now.
Sir:
The punishment structure exists to ensure clean slates. We’ll move forward as if this never happened.
In fact, I have a present for you.
Pet:
Please not another necklace worth the GDP of a small country?
Sir:
Small is a relative term, but no. This is a decidedly more sexual present. But you only get it if you’re a very good girl.
Pet:
:)
Jack:
How did Mark and Marco like Phantom?
Margot:
They loved it, obviously!!
Jack:
Obviously.
So, did I also make a good impression on your friends?
Margot:
I’m not sure why that matters at all.
And why do you think I would know what they think?
Jack:
It matters because you’re important to me, and they are important to you.
And I know you well enough to know you would’ve talked about me.
Margot:
They like you fine.
That doesn’t mean anything, though.
Jack:
It’s good enough for now.
Margot:
What’s that supposed to mean?
Jack:
If they hated me, I doubt you would give me the time of day.
Jack:
And I’ll take whatever I can get right now.
Margot:
Jack…I can’t promise I’ll ever be able to give you more than a casual friendship.
Jack:
I know, Princess…and I will happily take just this forever, as long as I get to be in your life.
Margot:
Guess what I just saw an ad for?
Jack:
***
There are literally a million things this could be.
Margot:
You’re no fun.
The Sleeping Beauty ballet will be playing in two weeks!
Jack:
I haven’t been to see that in years! We have to go.
Margot:
Let’s do it! I’m free for a Sunday matinee.
Jack:
Say less. I’ll get the tickets.
4?
Margot:
Just two this time, I think.
Jack:
Even better, Princess. I can’t wait. :)
Margot:
Me either :)
Jack:
:)
