’ Maria said, not taking her questioning eyes off me. I decided to answer, ‘Sprite, thanks, Mrs. Dewby.’ She walked into the kitchen and turned ...back looking at me, smiling. ‘So, Devin you’re turning sixteen right? When is it again?’ I looked at Maria. ‘One week from tomorrow, November sixth.’ I said, faking a smile. I wasn’t exactly looking forward to my birthday this year. Not like any of my friends or . . . family would be there to celebrate it with me, just growing older, nothing special.. ”Becky sat down on the couch, clad only in a lacy baby blue bra, a pair of matching boy shorts, and a pair of knee-high athletic socks with three horizontal blue stripes at the top of them. She started kissing Todd passionately, tongue and all. Things were getting pretty steamy between the two, but just as Todd slid a hand into her underwear and grazed her small patch pubic hair, Becky pushed his hand away and broke their kiss.“Just to be clear, Todd, this does not mean that we are getting back. We were use to him being away for these long periods, he was always traveling somewhere all over the world. He would usually come home for a couple months and then disappear again, I had gotten used to that as that was all I knew for as long as I remembered. This time was different, I could tell by mom's voice."Daddy's work called today, he won't be home next week as we planned."To me it really didn't make much of a difference, when he was home, he spent all of his time out with friends or with. I do as he says crying further exalting to my parents on how I deserved such treatment because of my actions.After I hang up the phone, I am lectured for a least an hour on my behaviour and wickedness. I am sent to the corner to contemplate my actions with explicit instructions that I am not allowed to cry any more. Once the time passes I am placed back in the chair, unbound this time. “You deserved to be punished, don't you slut”. Of course, I agree. He tells me that I am to be slapped against.
