The next morning Maggie woke up, rolled over,
and instantly remembered what had happened the day before. Her bottom still
hurt, but she smiled thinking that her Mom and Uncle Bob were going to go out
on a real date. She couldn't remember when her mom had gone out on a date last, and felt it would be good for her. That is, if they
didn't fight all night.
Maggie walked into the
kitchen. She was surprised to see a cushion on her seat at the table. She
smiled up at her mom, who said, "I, umm, thought you might need that,
sweetie. Uncle Bob really warmed your bottom good for
you yesterday, didn't he?"
"Umm, yes, Mom,"
Maggie replied, rubbing her bottom.
"Did you learn
anything, sweetheart?" Heather asked.
"Yes, Mommy, I can't
run away from my problems. Do you think Uncle Charlie is going to be angry when
I see him today?" Maggie had just thought of that, and started worrying.
"Nooo,
honey, Uncle Charlie knows you have been punished, so it is over with. Okay? I
want you to have a good time today with the twins, but pleasssseee
be good, will you, young lady?"
"Ohhh
yes, Mommy, I don't think I could LIVE through another spanking," she said
dramatically. Heather just laughed and piled pancakes on her plate.
After cleaning up and
getting ready, Heather and Maggie walked over to the Clemente's
apartment. As soon as they rung the bell, Robin opened the door wide, pulled
Maggie in, and they ran back to her room.
Bob walked out of the den,
and seeing Heather, smiled warmly at her, and asked if she were ready to have a
fun day.
"Sure," Heather
replied. "Are we going to the movies?"
"Well, if it is okay
with you, I would like to take a ride. There is an art exhibit in Manhasset,
and then we could take a walk along the shore. There is a wonderful little
restaurant called the Hungry Bear that we could go to for dinner, if that
sounds okay with you," Bob announced.
"It sounds
charming," Heather replied.
"Good, let's say
goodbye and get going," Bob said.
Heather peeked into the
girls room where they were talking a mile a minute, and kissed Maggie,
reminding her to be good again.
"I willlll,
sheesh mom, you have a great time and don't worry
about me, okay?" Maggie said impatiently.
"Well, I KNOW you will
be good with your Uncle Charlie," Heather said, and smiled at her.
"Have fun girls," she told the twins.
The weather was really warm
for the end of November, and as they drove out to the north shore of Long
Island, they marveled at nature. Heather started feeling shy again, and Bob,
sensing this, started telling her funny stories from his grad school days.
Heather started relaxing
and after the art exhibit, they headed to the shore to walk. Heather's hand
easily slipped into Bob's, and they walked chatting
and getting to know each other. Both were cautious, but the warmth and
connection was there, and Heather knew that there would be no problem with
Maggie, if things started moving in the right direction with Bob.
All of a sudden, Heather
spotted a pile of leaves and running ahead she grabbed a handful of them. When
Bob caught up, she threw them up into his face. "HEY!" he yelled at
her. He was laughing. Heather turned to get more. Then Bob grabbed some and
threw them back.
Before they knew it, they
were rolling in the leaves, tickling and teasing each other. Bob finally pinned
Heather under him, and she put a handful down his
back.
"That's it, young
lady," Bob told her.
"Ohhh
really," she replied, as bratty as she could.
"Uh Huh," Bob
said. He easily flipped her over his knee, and started to spank her. He was
teasing her at first, and then warming to his task, he spanked and lectured her
on her bratty behavior. Far from feeling chastised, Heather began to feel very
turned on.
"Will you
behave?" SWAT. Heather was smiling and didn't want Bob to know how she was
really feeling. So she said, "Welllllll, I will
THINK about it."
"Think about it, young
lady?" Bob upped the ante, and began to really swat her bottom hard, and
got some satisfying yelps out of Heather.
"Okay, you win, I will
behave," Heather cried.
"I am not convinced
yet, young lady," and with that Bob planted ten harder swats to her
bottom. Heather knew at that moment that she had found the man of her dreams.
Especially when he rolled her over, took her into his arms, and kissed her
breathless while rubbing her bottom.
Bob couldn't believe how
attracted he was to this little imp. And he knew he already cared about her
daughter. But a ready-made family? That was something
to think about. HE thought he should be logical, and think all this through.
Then he looked down into Heather's eyes, looking dreamily up at him, caught up
in passion she didn't even recognize, and he knew he was lost.
They finally came apart and
Bob brushed her off. He took her hand again as they walked back to the car on
their way to dinner. Bob wanted to know everything about her, and Heather was
reluctant to tell him about how she managed to get pregnant at 15.
He gently probed, and she
could tell that he was NOT being judgmental, so she told him that it was just
the typical story. Cheerleader falls in love with football star, and they are
too stupid to use birth control, 'cause after all, it couldn't happen to them,
right? Wrong. She really thought she loved him, but of course, looking back,
she realized that it wasn't love at all, but you can't tell a teenager
anything.
Her mom tried to talk her
into having an abortion, but she wouldn't hear of it. And, of course, being
with Maggie, although challenging, was the right thing to do. Heather explained
that Maggie was the best thing in her life.
Bob knew she really meant
that, and that endeared her to him even more. Then Bob told her about growing
up in Charlie's shadow, how hard it was to compete with Mr
Perfect. One of the reasons he chose to go to Chicago was to get OUT of
Charlie's shadow, and to learn to be himself. The funny thing was, Bob
explained, was the longer he was away, the more he realized how much he was
like his brother, and stopped worrying about the differences.
Dinner passed quickly, and
Heather told Bob she felt she needed to get back to Maggie. Not wanting to rush
her, Bob quickly agreed and they decided to get together with Maggie on
Saturday. Bob needed to do some house hunting and thinks it would be fun to go
together.
"Why don't you come
over, have breakfast, and we can peruse the classified section and go look at
some?" Heather suggested.
Bob was hesitant. "Do
you think Maggie would be bored?"
"No, I think she will
love spending time with you," Heater replied.
Bob felt he could get lost
looking into Heather's eyes, and wondered, even though he knew it was way too
soon to be having these thoughts, if there could ever be a future for them.
As they arrived back at the
Clemente's apartment, Bob reached for Heather and
kissed her soundly, before inserting his key in the door. Heather felt
breathless and Lisa noticed her disheveled and dreamy look as soon as she saw
her. Smiling to herself, she wondered how long it would take them to realize
they were perfect for each other.
Knocking on the twins'
door, they said hi to all three girls. Maggie came
flying over to her Mom to give her a big hug. She started asking questions at a
rapid rate.
"Hold on, Maggs, one question at a time," Heather said. She
laughed and hugged her daughter, and told her the plans for the next day.
The twins immediately
wanted to come, too. Charlie heard the commotion, intervened, and told them he
had something special planned for them, too. They begged to know what, but
Charlie wouldn't tell them. The girls had NO clue that Charlie said that just
to deter them. Then he wondered just what to come up WITH. Ah well, his brother
and Heather need some alone time with Maggie. He also saw what Lisa did, and
wondered how soon the wedding would be.
