She's the little

Chapter 23

James

I watch Dianna walk into the room with the other littles and I felt a little bad seeing the look on her face.
Maybe this was a mistake.

"Uh oh Tommy has her claws in her already." I hear a woman from behind me say to someone.

I get a tap on the shoulder and I turn to see an Asian woman and a man with blue hair. "Excuse me sir? Is that little blonde yours?"

"Yea. she's cute right?" I say, glancing Down at her then back at them.
"I am so sorry for whatever trouble Tommy gets her into." The woman tells me nodding down at the two, confirming she was the dark skinned boy's caregiver.

"Oh I'm sure she'll get herself into plenty of trouble." I tell her with a half laugh, before turning back around.

I watched her throughout class, she mostly stuck to the side, doing the bare minimum, sometimes giggling with the little boy.

I almost laughed at how fast she walked to the changing rooms and out into the lobby.
It put a bigger smile on my face when she slid across the lobby floor and into my side, using me as to not fall over.
"Have fun?" I asked, taking her bag from her and taking her hand walking into the parking lot.

"No it was awful. But I made a friend, his name is Tommy, he doesn't like that his caregiver is dating another man while being his caregiver."

"Why? Some caregivers and littles prefer a platonic relationship where they can date outside of their categories." I say, accidentally sounding defensive.

"I-i know that. I'm just saying he's not happy about it." Dianna says, sounding a little quieter and slightly defensive as-well.

I'm about to put her bag in the car when she stops me to pull out her hoodie, pulling at it trying to cover the tutu.
"You okay Anna." I ask putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Yea, this tutu it's just really obvious." She says, pulling away looking at the floor.
"Take it off then. You've got shots on under it." I remind her, buckling her seatbelt.

"Why are you so quiet? You were buzzing before we got in the car." I half joked.
"I'm just tired." She said, almost curling into herself in her seat.

I felt like something was off but I didn't want to be driving while starting something so I waited till we were at my house.
"Go on you can go get changed." I said ushering her into the house as I set her dance bag on the kitchen island.
Dianna had some clothes here now, in her own couple of drawers in my room.

I waited a while for Dianna to wander back out but eventually I got worried and nocked on my bedroom door a little.
"Dianna?..." I whispered creaking the door open a little then abit more, eventually spotting her half under my bedsheets, basically nocked out.

"Oh Anna.." I say quietly crawling in next to her.
She wormed her way in between my arms easily, and I traced circles on her back.
"You really were a tired little girl." I whispered, and I heard her murmur something incoherent, guessing it was probably something like her telling me to shut up.
