A/N: so in case you didn't realize, picture of the chick in the last chapter was Emeraude Toubia, she's who I picture as Mistress Esmeralda. Happy reading!!

"Hey, Yo Shaun, I need some help over here!" I look up from my notepad and help Frankie with the boxes of produce.

"Thanks, man." He says once we set it on the counter.

"No problem,"

I'm currently waitering at this rich dudes party. I work for a catering company, but as a waiter. I enjoy my job sometimes because one, I get to eat left overs, and two, the pay is awesome.

"So, you got any plans this weekend?" He asks as I tie on my apron.

"Uh, yeah. Actually it's a meeting."

"What kind of meeting?" He asks wiping his forehead with his arm.

"Um, a social meeting."

"What, like a date?"

"... I don't think you can call it that."

He laughs. Frankie is in his late forties. He's a funny guy and could easily kick my ass if he wanted to. He was the only one nice to me when I first started this job. It's also how I met Jr.

"Why can't you call it a date?" He asks with a humorous smile.

"Because a date is when two people like each other and want to get to know each other. What I'm doing is talking to a woman and trying to know who I am, not her." He shakes his head at me.

"You are going to die alone." I gape at him as he walks away back to the freight truck.

"Thanks for the confidence you have in me, Frankie!"

"No problem, kid!" I chuckle as I walk out of the kitchen and begin asking people if they want little sandwiches with toothpicks in them.

"Ugh! My feet are killing me!" I say to myself once I get home. It's currently 6:39pm and I just want to shower and sleep. I get into my room and flop onto my bed lazily getting ready to just sleep without a shower. I groan once I feel my phone buzzing in my pocket. I pull it out to see it's a text from Jr.

-
From: Jr.
Have you texted Esme yet? 😄🐳
-

What the fuck is with this guy and his stupid whale emoji?

I rub my temples before texting him back.

-
To: Jr.
No I have not. What's with the whale? What is that even for?
-

-
From: Jr.
It's cute 🐳🙉😽
-

-
To: Jr.
.... I can't fucking stand you
-

-
From: Jr.
Love u too bro but TEXT HER! 😡😉😜😁✌️
-

I shake my head and chuckle before exhaling deeply and deciding to text her finally.

-
To: Mistress Esme
Hello, it's Shaun. Jr.'s friend..
-

I wait five minutes before she responds.

-
From: Mistress Esme
Was wondering when I'd hear from you. What do you want?
-

Okay, straight to the point.

-
To: Mistress Esme
Well I was wondering if there was anything I had to do before we start the training thing
-

-
From: Mistress Esme
Well how much do you know about the lifestyle?
-

-
To: Mistress Esme
Whatever Shaun's told me and anything I've observed from the club.
-

-
From: Mistress Esme
Well you could do some research before we jump into kinky roleplay 😒
-

Oh great, she uses emoji's too.

-
To: Mistress Esme
Okay, I'll do that right now
-

I grab my laptop and go to Google. I type "bdsm" into the search engine and so many links pop up. I click on the first one.

"BDSM is a variety of erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other interpersonal dynamics. Given the wide range of practices, some of which may be engaged in by people who do not consider themselves as practicing BDSM, inclusion in the BDSM community or subculture is usually dependent on self-identification and shared experience."

Wow, Wikipedia knows everything doesn't it?

"The term BDSM is first recorded in a Usenet posting from 1991, and is interpreted as a combination of the abbreviations B/D (Bondage and Discipline), D/s (Dominance and submission), and S/M (Sadism and Masochism). BDSM is now used as a catch-all phrase covering a wide range of activities, forms of abusive violent interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures."

I know that's one thing Shaun hates when people think of abuse when they hear BDSM. It took me awhile to understand the whole thing too. I thought it was crazy when he told me he liked to hit girls. Eventually though, he talked to me and showed me how he does it--that was slightly awkward by the way--but the girls liked it and it was consensual. That's all that mattered to me.

I kept on reading the paragraph.

"BDSM communities generally welcome anyone with a non-normative streak who identifies with the community; this may include cross-dressers, body modification enthusiasts, animal roleplayers, rubber fetishists, and others."

For almost three hours I read a ton of research and watched some videos, not porn, and even went on a DDLG forum asking questions.

I texted Esme letting her know I had done the research. She replied with an angry emoji telling me it was late when in reality it was only 9:45.

I apologized anyway and she told me we'd meet Saturday to go over everything I've learned and introduce me to her subs.

I was proud of myself for finishing something since I am usually a procrastinator.

I smiled and laid down finally ready to get some sleep.
