Gabriela

Mommy's Little Girl

"Get undressed" 

"Mommy?" 

"Gabriela" Joan sighed. "You're in enough trouble as it is, little girl. I suggest you do as you're told" 

Gabriela whimpered. Her bottom lip quivered. She'd just gotten back and more now than ever she regretted running away. What ever happened next, was her own fault. She was in her bed room and she watched as Joan entered the bathroom. Soon she heard the water filling the tub, and began slowly undressing from the cold wet clothes that stuck to her body. To make it worst her nose was runny, her eyes were red and she couldn't stop shivering. When she was undressed she slowly walked to the entrance of the bathroom. Her arms covered her chest in order to not only preserve modestly, but to help keep her warm as well, she was shivering. 

Joan didn't look back, but she felt Gabriela's presence. "Come on in little one, the tub is almost done filling up, but you can get in now" 

Gabriela inched into the small bathroom. She looked into the tub and saw the steam that rose above the water. There was also bubbles. Soon she was sitting in the warm water and sighed contently was her body adapted. With her eyes closed she didn't realize or was aware of what  Joan was doing, but she felt water running over her head. When she opened her eyes they connected with similar ones. She was searching for an explanation. 

"I'm just helping you wash your hair" Joan admitted. 

"Why are you doing this?" Gabriela whispered. "You treat me as if I'm a child" 

"You are, you're my child" Joan took a bottle of shampoo and began to lather the long curly hair. 

Gabriela sighed. She was careful with her words, she knew how easy it was to anger Joan, and she was in enough trouble as it is. "But, I'm an adult" There was silence. "Maybe, if you would have been able to adopt me when I was like...5 or something,  then we both would have been happy...but...I'm a grown woman-" 

"When I look at you, I don't see a "grown woman" " Joan admitted. "From the moment I laid eyes on you, I saw a little girl, one who needs my help and guidance. So, tomorrow, we are going to go back to the store, and I'm going to buy you cute little dresses and bows. Braid your hair hair in cute little pigtails, and you will be on your best behavior. If there is a repeat of last time, I will pull you over my knee and spank you right there. You're already getting one tonight, trust me, you don't want to add on another one so soon. Do not embarrass Mommy tomorrow, understood?" 

Gabriela sighed as she felt butterflies in her stomach. She almost forgot about her pending punishment from tonight. "Yes Mommy" she whispered.
