*ALYSHA'S POV*
I was in my room still doing my LP. It was nine and I should be getting ready for bed, but no. Teachers are mean and set stacks of work to do in one freaking night! And to top all that off, Nathan hasn't called me back yet which is driving me crazy. I want to know where we stand and what hope I have of getting out of this mess.
I have one more paragraph to do for English and then I'm done. But of course Jess just has to interrupt because she's a bitch. She had her MacBook Air in her hands. She walked to my desk, shut my book and shoved all my pens to the side to put her laptop down.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" I shout.
"Nathan wants to talk to you." She said ignoring my rudeness and opened facetime. "Call him. Don't keep him waiting." She said and stood behind me.
I whimpered and clicked the call button next to his name. I looked away from the screen as it rang, waiting for him to pick up. It took literally seconds for the call to be accepted and for his face to appear on the laptop screen. I wasn't looking directly at him though. I looked up just enough to see him shirtless and looked away, back at my boring, wooden desk. Jess walked out and there was silence, it felt like torture. Sitting in silence, Nathan watching me through the screen. I didn't know what to say and he sure wasn't saying anything. That's at least what I thought. Nath eventually broke the torturous silence.
"Alysha, can you look at me please?" He asked softly. I lifted my gaze a little but still didn't look him in the eye. "I got your message, what did you want to talk about?"
"I-I... I just wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry and I'll do anything for you to forgive me. I-I just c-can't stand you being m-mad at me like t-this." I said sniffling. Finally looking him in the eyes. I was upset, terrified and stressed out. I didn't know what he wanted exactly and it had me on edge.
"You know I can't just forgive you because you're sorry. You need to earn my trust back; you have to accept the consequences for your actions."
"I know but there has to be something I can do! Please, I didn't mean for any of this to happen" I cried. I didn't want him to stay mad at me.
"You can start by behaving, and accept the punishment I'm going to give you. What I said this morning still stands, but I am adding to it. Because you obviously will never learn otherwise and-"
"No please! I'll behave and I've learnt my lesson, please I'm sorry!"
"Alysha. Stop and listen to me. If you keep cutting me off and back-chatting you will only make it worse." He said harshly and growled. I whimpered as I looked down. Nathan continued.
"You are not going to your friends' house, you are grounded for six months, you are not getting your iPad back until I can trust you again, and what I said about school still stands. If it's minor I may let it slide, but if you get another detention there's no more chances. Is that clear?""Yes Master" I said quietly, waiting for him to continue what he had to say.
"Now, when I get back on Sunday I'm going to give you ninety to a hundred lashes, and you will spend the night in the basement chained. Every night for the week after that you will come to me and ask me to give you at least fifteen lashes before bed, and ask for me to drink from you morning and night. Depending on your behaviour while I'm gone I will either add something or minimise the punishment. Minimising your punishment won't be easy though, and I'm not going to tell you how I'm going to do it, or what you have to do to reduce it. Got it?" He spoke firmly the whole time and I could tell he was trying not to raise his voice. I didn't reply and stayed quiet.
"Alysha, answer me."
"Y-yes I understand Master."
"Repeat what I just said. I want to make sure you were actually listening to me." His eyes narrowed and waited for me to speak.
"When you get back on Sunday I'm going to get ninety to a hundred lashes, and spend the night in the basement. For the week after that I have to ask you to give me fifteen lashes before bed each night, and ask for you to drink from me in the morning and at night. And depending on my behaviour while you are gone you will either add something and reduce the punishment." I said just loud enough for him to hear and didn't look up at him once.
"Can you stop looking away from me? Please." He said irritated so I looked at him and shrunk back into my desk chair. "Have you finished your homework?"
"No, I've still got to finish English." I replied quietly
"I want you to go straight to bed when you're done. I'll call again tomorrow and see how you're going okay?" I nodded but didn't say anything. "Be good" He said and ended the call.
Tears built up in my eyes. My punishment won't only hurt me physically but it's going to destroy me emotionally. I don't know if I'm going to be able to cope with his decision. I mean having to ask him to spank me?! That's going to completely humiliate me! Asking him to drink from me isn't that bad but to ask for a punishment involving getting whipped isn't something I can just get over! Even the thought of it sends shivers down my spine. I don't know how I'm going to get through this.
