As part of my punishment I need to post about my day. I am currently sitting on two pillows. One was not enough. I need two...nice soft goose down pillows; the kind that you normally rest your head upon. Well, today, it is not my head. It is the other end of my body.
Today Master found out that I messed a light. I did not notice this light almost three weeks ago. It was late. I was in a strange part of town and I was tired after driving from Phoenix to Tucson. All that I wanted to do was to get home. I would have done that, except I took the wrong freeway exit and ended up on I-19 heading south. So, I decided to get off as soon as possible and turn around.
When I took the freeway exit, I did not notice the light. Just off the freeway, at the first intersection, there was this stop light. Why do they make them so small? In all honesty I would have stopped if I had seen the dumb thing.
Well, what can I say? I plowed right through it as if it was not there. I did not even slow down I went right through the intersection. I guess that I am lucky that there was no traffic, after I entered the intersection. I can just imagine a large semi-truck, Those things can't stop on a dime. I would have resembled a dime if it hit me.
Now, you would think that it was the entire story. No one was around; just my little car and I. The intersection was empty…. Yes, it was empty except for this camera device that the city installed. Before I knew what happened, I noticed some flashes of light as the strobes went off to catch my one girl crime wave.
There was nothing that I could do. I did drive through the intersection. So, I decided that I would just go home and forget all about it. Either I would be cited or not. From what I had heard, there was even a good possibility that the pictures would not turn out. That was a little bit of hope. I could not get this out of my mind the entire trip through downtown streets making my way home. Making sure I did stop, a full and complete stop, at every stop sign and stop light the rest of the way. And, so I got home and forgot all about it, I really did.
Well, what should show up in the mail the other day? You've got it, a nice computerized traffic citation from the court. I was totally busted. Yes, there were copies of the pictures of my car. There was picture of me, a little fuzzy, but still recognizable, a picture of my license plate, and there was a picture of me going through the intersection.
And then there was the citation along with a note saying that the “fine” was $155.
For a moment, I had completely forgotten about the incident. I had to go back to the calendar and check the dates to see if it was really true. Oh, now I remember that late afternoon. I remembered this incident. Darn!
Then it hit me -- what can I say to Master? Well, obviously, I would tell him the truth. But, we all know the "truth" can be put in so many different ways. Do I plead my case first before I tell him or do I tell him first and beg my case afterwards? Do I just tell him matter-of-factly and just say, as he would, "Oops"? I know that I have messed up. I know that I broke one of his 31 crash landings that will get you spanked rules. Sometimes not being the person in charge has its huge disadvantages. Something in me said that this was one of those times.
When I did tell him, today, what actually came out was a mixture of all of the above. I don't really remember the exact words. The actions which followed blocked out the memory. Yet, I did try to plead my case. I did tell him that I didn't see the light. (That was a mistake as my bottom later found out!) I did tell him that I was tired. (Hey, I am on a roll here. I can almost imagine what is going through his head ... 10 ... no, 15 ... no, 20 swats.) I did tell him that the intersection was empty. I told him all.
He then proceeded to lecture me for about an hour about my driving, attention, record, insurance, license, and everything else. I remained totally silent as I listened to him with a frown on my face. Perhaps a pleading “six year old” attitude will help. (It never does. It is just my reaction to be scolded.) Sometime during the repeats of the lecture he mentioned what he promised would happen "the next time..." I remember exactly what was promised "the next time..." I know it exactly what was promised. What was promised was a brush treatment. I have never in my life experienced a brush on my bottom, never, not even once.
I was sent to fetch "THE BRUSH!" The time for argument was over. The time for whining was over. The time for discussion was over. I might beg. I may plead. But, he had made up his mind. That was it. All that I could do was to comply. My feelings and I have been down this path before. I know what to expect.
I plodded up, slowly, step by step up the stairs to the second floor. Ok, so I did not want to go. But, still, I did. I returned with this brush in my hands, holding it by the handle in my left and the "business end" head in my right. When I returned downstairs, I timidly offered it to him with both hands. He took it from between my outstretched hands and put it on the table with a clunk.
"You know the rule." he commanded.
Yes, unfortunately, I do know the rule. Now, it is not that he has not seen me naked before. That was not the issue. I am not ashamed of my body. We are Master and slave. I have seen his "birthday" suit before too. Being commanded to remove my clothing in such a fashion however is humiliating.
The tears started to swell as I slipped off my shoes. I pulled the maroon shirt out of the pants and let the tail fall. I undid the belt and the zipper for the jeans. When I slid the jeans down, he only said "come on..." By now the tears were beginning to run down my cheeks. The socks were cotton and they slipped off my naked feet. The beige panty joined them on the floor by my feet.
I stood before him, stripped naked from the waist down. I had started to cry already and he hadn’t even laid a hand on my bottom. I could not help myself.
He pulled out one of the dining room chairs and sat down. I knew what was coming but I just couldn’t move. Then the words came, he said simply "Get over my lap", patting his thighs with both hands.
I walked around to his right side, and putting both hands on his left leg, I pushed and lifted myself up and over. As I lowered myself down on his legs, my feet lifted from the floor. I grabbed the legs of the bar stool with both hands and slid down the smooth wooden legs of the chair. My feet could only dangle off the right side of his legs.
