Applying for a Daddy

19

I woke up to my phone vibrating on the glass table next to me. I looked at the name.

Colby🖤

It was 3:30 am I locked my screen so it would silence the call. I rolled over and closed my eyes. Not even two minutes later it started buzzing again. I sat up and sighed. I wasn't going to be getting any sleep tonight. I picked up my phone and scrolled through my messages.

Kitty Kat: 20 unread messages
Sammy: 25 unread messages
Dev: 18 unread messages
Jakey: 15 unread messages

Colby🖤: 54 unread messages

I sighed and just decided to turn my phone off. I was too upset to talk to anyone. I didn't even talk to Ricky or Maddie.
I just cried myself to sleep on the couch. I had those pictures running through my mind like a slideshow. Them laughing, sitting close to each other. Her touching his leg and leaning closer to him. He smiled..

I let more tears fall down my cheeks as I laid on my side. I don't know what time it was that I finally fell asleep.

I woke up again, around 9:00, Ricky was talking to Maddie in the kitchen. I laid there and listened to them.
"I swear if he hurt her." Maddie whisper-shouted.
"He wouldn't do that though. Would he?" Rocky asked.
I closed my eyes, letting out a small breath.
"We saw her crying. He obviously did something."

I rolled over and opened my eyes. Groaning a little to pretend I just woke up. They stopped talking very quickly. I sat up and smiled a little. "I have to go...uhm. Ricky can you drive me?" I asked. I stood up and stretched, Maddie walking over to me. "I don't think you should go back there." She said, crossing her arms. "Mads I have to. I'm already gonna be in so much trouble." I looked down, trying not to cry again. Ricky rubbed my shoulder before grabbing his keys. "Maybe you should stay with us for a few days. I don't want you going back there just to be hurt." Maddie added. "Colby wouldn't hurt me. Not physically." I pulled my shirt down a little.

Maddie wouldn't let me leave without her coming along so the three of us rode over to my house in complete silence. I didn't want her to come. Ricky being here was enough. I didn't need my overbearing, overprotective best friend as well. We pulled up to the house, and I sighed. "Stay here, please." I begged. As SOON as I opened my door so did Maddie. Ricky turned the car off and I sighed again. "Okay, thanks." I mumbled. We walked up to the door and I opened it slowly. Walking into the huge empty hallway. I heard voices and footsteps. Kat and Sam saw me first. "Harper." Sam whispered. I felt my eyes tearing up again. Kat ran up and hugged me, smiling. "I was so worried about you. I'm glad you're okay." She whispered in my ear while hugging me. Colby walked into the entrance way and leaned against the wall next to the stairs. Everyone else stood there in silence. Devyn and Corey looked extremely awkward. Sam placed a hand on Colby's shoulder, which then got shoved off by Colby. Kat sighed heavily. "He's been worried sick." She said. Maddie and Ricky stood in silence behind me. Colby walked up the stairs without saying a word to me. I knew he wanted me to follow him. So I did. I heard the door close behind me as I made my way slowly up the stairs. I walked into Colby's room, and he shut the door behind me. I didn't speak. Or move. We stared at each other for a long time before he spoke up. "Sit." One single command.

I sat on the gray couch, tears still forming in my eyes. I kept blinking them away but a few slipped down my cheeks. He sat in his desk chair and leaned forward.
"First thing I have to say is. You never just leave without telling me where you're going. You never ignore my calls or texts. You never, and I mean never run away." His voice was calm and low, but he was very angry. "Second thing. I'm sorry." I looked up, almost shocked. "For what?" I asked softly. "For last night. The girl you saw with me. She's an old friend. Her name is Shea. We aren't that close anymore. She didn't know about you. I shouldn't have let her touch my leg, I shouldn't have even been with her. I should have been with you." He sighed and moved to sit next to me. "I was in the wrong, but running away was not the way to handle things." He said softer this time. I nodded. "Yes sir. I'm sorry." I said, more tears falling down my face. He moved his hand slowly, wiping away my tears. He then pulled me closer to him and connected our lips. Kissing me passionately and deeply. We pulled away slowly, not wanting the kiss to end. He leaned his forehead against mine. "Maddie doesn't want me to stay here anymore. But I don't want to go..." I whispered. Crying more as I thought of leaving him. "Then stay. Please." He begged. I nodded.

We settled things and made up. Maddie and Ricky left, which made Maddie upset because she didn't want to leave me. Colby wrapped his arms around me from behind after I closed the front door. I smiled and placed my hands on his. "You still ran away, I have to give you a punishment. I hope you know that." He said softly. I sighed. "I do. I was hoping you wouldn't but I figured I wasn't going to be very lucky." He nodded and kissed my cheek. "Your punishment will start tomorrow. Today I want to spend time with you. I've been worried about you." He said as we walked back to the game room. Corey and Aaron were filming in the bar room. So we went and sat in the game room with Sam, Kat and Jake. Colby sat on the couch and pulled me into his lap. I buried my face into his neck, kissing his skin gently. He placed a hand on my thigh and the other on my hip.

Sam threw a pillow at us from across the couch. "Get a room!" He joked as I continued to hide away into Colby's shoulder. Colby glared at him and I laughed a little. Colby threw the pillow back and Sam caught it. I sat up quickly and ran to the other side of the room, as Sam threw the pillow back. "We are not having a pillow fight dammit!" Colby laughed. His laughed was contagious as Kat and Jake laughed as well. Then I got an idea! "Nerf war!" I screamed. They all turned to me. It was silent for a second before Jake caught on and nodded. "YES!" He agreed. Sam laughed. "Wait are you actually suggesting we have a nerf war?" He asked, smiling wide. "Yeah, but like. Adult version."
"So with real guns?" Jake asked.
"No! You dork. We go get really good nerf guns, turn all the lights off. An all out, every man for himself, nerf war!" I smiled wide, feeling proud of myself. Colby stood up. "Let's go to the store then!" He said, kissing my forehead.

Jake came to the store with us. We decided to call all of the girlfriends plus Kevin, Mike, Griffin, Xepher, Ricky, Oli, Maddie and Lexi over. So everyone was at the house waiting for us. We bought 18 nerf guns that had 20 bullets each PLUS 36 smaller guns that had 5 bullets each. So everyone had three guns and 30 bullets. We also bought some glow in the dark vests that need made. Just so we could be seen in the dark house. We went home and waited for night fall. It's was 9:00 when everyone strapped the vests on and grabbed their guns. Most of us decided to use the big gun first and save the smaller guns for last. We turned all the lights off and went out front. We decided to draw straws (I know, super cliche) to see who gets to enter the house first.
We then went in order of who entered the house, I was 6th. We found our hiding spots and waited the Kevin's Alexa to set the alarm off and the music to start.

Once the alarm went off, we turned our vest on and some of us left our hiding places, some of us stayed. I decided to be a big girl and run. We played until we all ran out of bullets. I heard a few people call out before me. The last person with bullets won the game. So we called out in this order.

Kevin
Griffin
Lexi
Oli
Jake
Maddie
Mike
Sam
Xepher
Ricky
Aaron
Corey
Me
Tori
Colby
Kat
Tara
Devyn

We all sat on the couch, out of breath and laughing. Talking about the game. It was 11:43 now and we turned the light on to the game room, so we could see each other.

"I got shot in the eye" Mike shouted, laughing as he sat next to Sam.
"Colby threw his gun into my leg! I think I have it worse!" Griffin whined.
"I won, so ha!" Devyn laughed, dancing in a circle. I threw a pillow at her, causing her to stumble. We all sat around talking until 1 am when we finally got tired. A few people went home, or went to bed. I stayed up to clean up all the bullets. Jake, Sam, Kat and Colby helped. 540 bullets later, we packed everything up into a box and put it in a closet.

Colby kissed me softly as we stood in my room. He helped me change, and tie my hair up. "I want you to sleep in here tonight. As part of your punishment." He said. "Yes sir." I pouted. He raised his eyebrows at me, his eyes stern and pressing. I stopped pouting.
"Starting tomorrow you are to message me every 30 minutes, checking in. No exceptions. No excuses. No late night snacking. You will be in bed by 8:00, even if I'm staying awake. You will sleep in here, not with me. You will wear full outfits——jeans, and full t-shirts. Nothing cut, cropped or shorter than your knee. Lastly, no sex. No pleasure. No pleasing yourself. Nothing." He finally finished. "How long will this punishment last, sir?" I asked. He sighed and looked at me again. "Until I say otherwise." I was going to cry again. I nodded and mumbled. "Yes sir."
"Speak up."
I swallowed hard. "Yes sir." I said louder. He kissed my lips softly, and then my forehead. He then left my room, turning the light off. I sighed and turned on my nightlight. I laid on my beanbag bed thing and pulled my blanket over me, cuddling with my tiny bear that Colby bought me. Tears streamed down my face and onto my pillow. I cried until I fell asleep.
