Booth to Booth

I finished recording and I walked out the booth. I walked pass the desk and the recording equipment. I took Mistress's hand and leaned against Greyson.

"Please take her back to her room." She whispered to Greyson who picked me up with ease. She thanked all the people in the recording room and walked out with us. He carried me to the car and then sat with me. I fell asleep on him and didn't wake up until 5 in the evening. I assumed that he carried me in the room and stayed with me to make sure that I slept. I woke up with my head on his chest and my drool on his shirt. I was so groggy, but he smiled and begged me to eat. He ordered us some food and then took me to the bath to help me wash. I fell asleep in the tub and he didn't seem to mind. I was such a rag doll but I had literally no energy.

"Come on you have a paper to read over." He said pulling me out of the tub. "A paper to writing and read, a burger and fries to eat, and a man to drive nuts."

I smiled and read over my paper. It was only 230 pages with a ton of graphs. The clarity was there, and the focus was there but I could barely keep my head up let only find my place again. I cussed every time I stopped because I knew it would take me a little while to find my place. Every time I did, Greyson gave me a little giggle. It made me smile to see him laugh at me and help me with my work. He was a great man and very gentle.

A text said to meet me in the café. I had just finished my defending my thesis and dissertation. It was one of the best places to meet someone. Today it was mistress who promised me a coffee and a ride back home. I was so tired, but I made my way down the stairs. There was hardly anyone in there. Many students were finishing up exams and packing to go home and see loved ones. I didn't mind the silence at all. My house was filled with noise and this place was normally packed but today was an easy day. It was kind of nice to enjoy the silence especially after arguing my thesis. I walked in the café and hugged my mistress. She had a table and coffee for me along with a big box with ribbon decorating it.
