Mommy's Little Boy

Chapter 4

I woke up at 4:30 to get ready for work. I ate a bowl of cereal and took a shower. I quickly got dressed in jeans, my work shirt, and my steel toed boots. I made sure I had all my stuff and went outside. As I walked up to my truck, I realized I had a flat tire. Ugh. I'm gonna be late again. I hate mondays. I thought. I called my boss and explained the situation. He told me to get there as fast as possible. I'm a welder. I work at a plant that builds train cars. The beginnings of the week are always busy for us, so I knew I needed to hurry. I changed my tire while thinking of amber. She is so beautiful. I hope she has a good day and I hope she texts me.

"Lunch time! Let's go!" My supervisor walked by announcing it was lunch time to everyone. I crawled out from under the car I was working on. I took off my welding hood, gloves, and my knee pads. I grabbed my lunch on the way to the break area. I sat down beside my friend Andrew. "Hey! How's your day going?" I asked him. "Pretty good. I heard you were late this morning. Everyone was bitching about it. Haha." Andrew laughed before taking a bite of his sandwich. I scowled at him before also laughing. We both ate our lunch while talking about work. Suddenly, I realized I hadn't checked my phone. What if Amber had texted me! I pulled out my phone, and saw I had two messages. I quickly opened them to see that both were from Amber. The first one was from this morning shortly after I got to work. It said, "Good morning cutie. I'm getting ready for work. Have a good day!" The next one said, "How is your day going? Work is going pretty slow. I've been thinking about you all day :P" She had sent the last one 20 minutes ago. I was smiling from ear to ear as I texted her back. "I'm sorry, I just got your messages. I'm at work. My day is going pretty good besides being late this morning lol I've been thinking about you too! I was wondering if I could take you out tonight?" I hit send and looked up to see Andrew staring at me. "What are you smiling for?" He asked. "Oh, uhh...  I met this beautiful woman last night. She seems amazing! I wanna take her on a date tonight." I told him all about meeting Amber at the bar and how we had hit it off. He thought my embarrassing pool story was funny. I realized I was rambling and felt a little silly, so I stopped talking. "Does she know you're a little?" Andrew asked me. "Not yet. I don't know how to tell her. What if she thinks I'm weird? She seems like she would be the perfect mommy, and I've been wanting one so bad." Andrew is a little, so he completely understands me. One time Andrew came over to my house to hang out. I accidentally left my paci out and he asked me who it belonged to. I freaked out and hid under my bed, not knowing what else to do. He found me and explained that he had a paci too. He told me not to worry and since then we have been great friends. He is the only person who knows. Just then my phone buzzed, bringing me out of my head. It was another text from Amber. "I would love to Sweet Boy! Where are you taking me? ;) you better not be late to work again❤" Was that a mommyish reply or am I overthinking? I thought. I blushed hard. Suddenly the alarm went off signalling the end of lunch. Shit. I'll have to message her back later. I said bye to Andrew and threw my trash away. I lit a cigarette and walked back to my work station.
