With five minutes notice he would have had that, too Sadie smiled at Emilio and asked, “How are you, Emilio, is everything going well with you?” �...�Oh, yes, Ma'am, what can I do for you this evening? Can I get you anything? Will you be dining with us? May I show you to the dining room? “Calm down Emilio, what you can do is see if Mrs. Whitaker would receive us. If she will please ask if she would join us for dinner.” Emilio damn near ran up the stairs. In a few minutes he returned and said, “. “Hi, Steve!” she said, taking my hand and leading me to the stairs.“Bethany, wait! I want to talk to you first.”“Can’t we talk afterwards?”“It’s better if we talk first, OK?”She had a concerned look on her face but led me to the family room where we sat on the couch.“I need to tell you that Jennifer and I had a really long talk and worked out our issues. Of course, she’s still moving, but we’re planning to go to college in the same city, if not go to the same college.”Her face fell, and I saw. ."You're wet slut, and you were told not to be. For that I'm going give you 10 cracks of my whip. It's going to hurt, but you're going to learn to love it."I bit my lip as he said this and braced myself for the pain that I was going to endure.The first crack hit my body like a bolt of lightening, pain sered through me. I felt my skin burn, and I cried out. "I told you it would hurt, that's what happens if you choose to disobey me you little slut" He landed the second crack as he said this.. The Lancasters had his hair buzzed. They didn't want it long orlooking feminine.She smiled at him, put her arms around him and gave him a kiss on thecheek."Nicki, I've missed you so much," she said as she hugged him tightly.He spoke not a word, but appreciated the warmth. She held his head closeto her heart. She hoped he sensed he could trust her."Are his things packed?" she asked. "We can't stay long. The girls arewaiting for us to get back."Mrs. Lancaster assured her Nicholas' things were.
