Another fabulous prompt from my dear friend @Mandysassy thank you for the inspiration ❤
"Daddy I'm bored when are we leaving?" Caleb whined at Glen as soon as he returned to his office at the hospital. Glen rubbed his head, he had a headache since that morning and Caleb's constant whining wasn't helping matters
"Caleb you're here because you're being punished this isn't supposed to be fun. I can promise you it's going to get a lot less fun when I take you over my knee if you don't stop that damn whining right now" he glared at the 14 year old making him shrink back.
Caleb looked at him with tears forming in his eyes. Glen was rarely harsh with the kids so when he had off days like today they took it pretty hard.
"Sorry daddy," Caleb whispered, tears began rolling down his face.
Glen's face softened as he approached Caleb bringing him in for a hug. Caleb stayed in the embrace silently crying that he made his daddy mad at him.
"I'm sorry son, I'm not mad at you, however you know you're here because you're on punishment and the rest of the family is out for the day. That's on you for skipping class. Correct?" Glen pulled back to look Caleb in the eye.
"Yes sir, but it's still not fair. I'm grounded and I didn't really skip class I just got caught up talking to my friend" he tried to defend.
Glen's stern look appeared on his face again. "Young man, we went over this already. It is skipping class when you show up 5 minutes before class is over. I don't care that you didn't intend to do it. Your responsibility is to be in class when you're at school. It's not social time. Getting caught up playing around with your friends in the bathroom is not a good excuse to miss class."
Glen could see his son was still pouting about this, he pointed out that he had a choice.
"Now I gave you a choice this time to be grounded or take a spanking. You chose grounding so here we are. It is in your best interest to stop whining and accept your punishment" he scolded.
Caleb scowled at Glen "yes sir," he went and slumped in Glen's desk chair.
"I'll be right back and then we can leave," Glen told him, he was going to finish up his charting so they could leave.
He was almost to the door when he heard Caleb mumble under his breath "should have taken the spanking," Caleb thought Glen was far away enough that he couldn't hear him, boy was he wrong.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" his voice boomed off the office walls. Caleb jumped as Glen stormed back over to him. He grabbed the chair and yanked it towards him getting nose to nose with Caleb.
"Repeat what you just said" he growled.
Caleb started crying "I'm sorry" a searing pain came down on his thigh as Glen slapped his hand down hard
"I said, repeat what you just mumbled under your breath," he demanded.
"I, I, I said I should have taken the spanking" Glen chuckled darkly in Caleb's face
"Done! Now you get both your grounded, another week. Stand up and bend over the desk" he ordered, taking a step back and removing his belt.
He went to his office door and locked it. Caleb didn't know his office was soundproof so he could sleep in it on long nights at the hospital
"Daddy please everyone will hear. I'm sorry I didn't mean it" he begged, wringing his hands.
He had not seen him this angry in a longtime. "Boy you better bend over that desk or so help me I will skin your ass every night for a week" he yelled, Caleb sobbed shaking as he bent over the large desk.
