Chapter 64
64
TOBY
I put away the last of the breakfast dishes when my phone pings from the living room. I took it off silent after we finished eating. No phones at the table is probably the only rule from my childhood that I can see the benefit of.
Shiloh ran off to the studio to finish his midterm project for his sculpting class, and Owner is downstairs in the coffee shop going over some paperwork.
I still have another hour before I have to worry about getting to class. That’s one of the huge benefits to me having practically moved in here. I’m no longer subjected to Spencer driving like a grandma and getting stuck on campus hours before I need to be.
Opening the Kink Manor group chat, I prepare myself for whatever fuckery they’re up to now. It can’t be too bad because most everyone should either be asleep, at work, or in class.
SparklesTheUnicorn:
@PanPup why the fuck did I get an invitation in the MAIL for a graduation ceremony for you??????
PanPup:
every1 shuld git 1
CaffeineDealer:
i think what my pup is trying to say is he’s graduating from culinary school
AT THE TOP OF HIS FUCKING CLASS
he wanted to surprise all of u
Sad-die Eli:
Congrats, Toby
AdorableAce:
Yay 4 Toby!
Does this mean you’ll take over for Scotty?
Can I get brownies?
GamerSwitch:
If you ever want to cook something for the house LMK
when ur home that is
Holy shit! Scott is willing to let me in his kitchen to cook? The man is notoriously OCD when it comes to the main kitchen. He had to do a full replacement of the pots and pans when Eli accidentally scorched the bottom of a pan making a grilled cheese sandwich. One small scorch on the bottom of a pan, and he threw out the entire set. I’m pretty sure that set ended up going to Ash when they moved into their trailer.
SparklesTheUnicorn:
Like you’ll ever let the ADHD pup operate anything in your kitchen beyond the microwave or toaster
We’re all lucky you let us do that.
I have to say, that kinda hurts. Didn’t he see that I’m fully certified and everything now? I can focus while cooking. It’s one of the few things that I can always focus on.
GamerSwitch:
Had I known he was going to school for this, I’d have let him long ago
YOU on the other hand can burn water
so you need to stay TF out of MY kitchen
Sad-dieEli:
no fighting children
It’s the landlord’s kitchen
@SparklesTheUnicorn stop changing everyone’s names in the house chat
SparklesTheUnicorn:
CaffeineDealer:
I was wondering how I got this name
VampireDaddy:
congrats @PanPup
i’ll do my best to make it
i am invited right?
Caffeine Dealer:
the whole house is invited
plus the guys from the park… and the shop… and the club - BOTH clubs
each student got 10 tickets for the ceremony but he snatched up all the extras from his classmates that don’t have as many family members
AdorableAce:
Kink Manor Commencement Takeover!!!!!
PrivateDickDaddy:
calm down little one b4 I put u in the corner
DAMNIT @SparklesTheUnicorn !!!
U don’t even live in the house anymore
y do u still have chat admin privileges?
*@SparklesTheUnicorn has left the chat*
PanPup:
Not cool Daddy Spence
SuperMattie:
Prepare to grovel Spencer
ur lucky he loves you like a brother
AdorableAce:
UR A MEANIE DADDY
PrivateDickDaddy:
WTF?!
what did I do wrong this time?
*@AdorableAce has blocked @PrivateDickDaddy from Kink Manor Group Chat*
I jump out of the group chat because this is too much drama for me this close to class. I shoot Lucky a private message in the chat app instead of a text since I know he’s on. He’s supposed to be in class, so he’s likely on his laptop and not his phone.
PanPup:
@AdorableAce u shuldnt blok ur daddy
ur gunna git a spankin
AdorableAce:
I know but he doesn’t understand how Sparkles feels about his room going to Stan
Daddy never had to know what it feels like to lose the only home you’ve ever known
he doesn’t get what that room represents to Eric… or us
PanPup:
I’m worried about Eric
he seemed really sad at the party
AdorableAce:
he’ll be ok
SuperMattie will keep him safe
I just need some duct tape to keep Daddy from making things worse
Wait… is it really duct tape? I always thought it was duck tape, like quack quack and feathers and all that stuff. I guess I learned something new.
The AI assistant device on the wall speaks up to remind me that I have fifteen minutes to get to class. Owner programmed my schedule into it last week and set it up to have the sexy Aussie accented dude remind me about my classes and all of my appointments. I shoot off one last message in the group chat to sign off and silence my phone.
PanPup:
u all wil eat 4 free opening my café
