Black Friday Troubles - Short Story

“Hello?” The voice answered over the phone. Thank goodness he answered.

“Felipe, I need help” I say over the phone noticing that it's getting darker outside.

“Lily? Where are you and what number are you calling from?” Felipe spits out questions to me. Where should I even begin? Lets just say that today has been an adventure for me. One that I do not want to repeat anytime soon.

“I’m at a  diner in South District somewhere. I’m like stranded out here because my car wouldnt start and then my phone died and it started raining and I walked to where I am now and… and… I-I…” I tell him but my voice starts to waver and my eyes start to water. I look around to make sure people aren't staring at me. The only people in this run down little restaurant is an older couple, a mother and her toddler, and a man.

“Okay Love, calm down a little. What’s the name of the place?” Felipe asks me gently. I take a shaky breath.

“Sunrise Dinner. I don't know the name of the street it's on but it's past the South District mall” I tell him. It would be hard to miss this place sinces it's the only restaurant around.

“Okay sweet pea, hold tight. I’m coming to get you. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Love you” he tells me.

“Love you too” I say back before ending the call. I walk back to the bar where Cindy is wiping cups. She is the waitress who let me borrow her phone. Yeah, my phone is dead so it's completely useless. Why is it dead, you ask? Because I forgot my charger. That probably wasn't the smartest since I’m over an hour away from home.

“Thanks for letting me use your phone” I say as I hand it back to her.

“No problem, dear. I could tell you needed a helping hand. Is someone coming to get you?” Cindy asks with a smile. I definitely need all the help I could get. When I walked in, I was sopping wet due to the rain. I must have looked in pretty sad shape. Today just wasn’t my day. How could it get any worse?

“My boyfriend is on his way” I tell her. Felipe cannot get here soon enough.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Lily” I hear Felipe’s voice near the entrance of the diner. I jump up out of the booth that I was sitting in and hurry toward him.

“Are you okay, amor? You’re all wet” Felipe says grabbing my arms and pulling me closer to his body. He’s looking me up and down to make sure that I am in one piece. Yes, Felipe. I am all wet. I had no idea.

“I know. I didn’t have an umbrella with me when I was walking here” I tell him. The one day I forgot an umbrella. Sigh.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I could have brought you clothes or something?” He says while taking off his sweatshirt and wrapping it around my body. Its pretty big on me so it's more like a long shirt.

“I forgot to mention it, I guess. Felipe, I don’t know what’s wrong with my car. It wont start up” I say. I have no idea what's wrong with it. It's not even a really old car either. I make sure its oil is changed regularly, the tires are always have the right air pressure, and any repairs are fixed immediately. And this is how it treats me in return? As Cori would say, ugh!

“Alright, let's go check your car out” he says taking my hand and leading me out of the diner. It was raining lightly again.

“Are you sure you're okay, though?” Felipe asks me again with worry in his eyes. I can only imagine what I look like right now. Probably a pitiful mess.

“I’m okay. Thanks for coming to get me” I say gratefully and give him a kiss on the cheek. Since thanksgiving was yesterday, I think it’s the perfect time to say that I’m so thankful for my boyfriend; especially when he saves my butt. Although I’m not so sure I’m thankful for when he shows his displeasure on said butt after saving me. Hopefully today won’t be one of those times.

“Anything for your sweet pea” Felipe says giving me a hug with a tight squeeze before hurrying me to his car to avoid the rain fall.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Lily, we need to talk now” Felipe tells me laying down next to me on my bed. Well, I finally made it back to my house where I am currently fresh out of the shower in pajamas. Felipe figured out my car just needed a new battery and was able to jump my car. I made it back to my house where he will put in a new battery sometime this weekend. I guess its helpful to have a boyfriend who is good with cars. Lord knows I’m not. I was surprised by how Felipe didn't question me once on why I was in South District in the first place. Nor did he say anything about how my phone died. All he was worried about was getting me back to my house and getting me out of my wet clothes and into the shower. I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised since it seems like Felipe was ready to drill me now. My butt is starting to tingle.

“Come here baby” Felipe says while pulling me to snuggle by his side. Well, he doesn’t seem to be mad or anything. I still need to tread carefully.

“Would you like to tell me why your were in South District today?” He asks me getting straight to the point. I can’t really tell him the whole truth without giving away the surprise I have for him. So how should I go about this? Make up a ridiculous excuse to get more time like how Cori does or explain but leave out parts so my story sounds better? Decisions, decisions.

“I was trying to get a christmas gift” I tell him tracing a pattern on his shirt.

“You had to drive all the way to South District for a christmas present? Seriously, chica? You know how that it is a high crime area and it gets five times worse during the holidays” Felipe says in disbelief. Yeah, South District is one of those places that should be avoided if you're not from the area. There are always news stories about some kind of robbery or mugging on the nes. Not to mention there is gang relations in some areas there too. Sooo, let's just say it was pretty risky of me going there. But I just had to pick up Felipe’s christmas present. I can’t tell him that without giving anything away.

“I had to pick up something at the mall. It was supposed to be really fast. I was going to pop in, get it, and hop out. I swear Felipe” I say. Which is truth but one thing lead to another.

“What did you get anyway and who is it for?” Felipe asks me next. See, I can’t exactly tell you that part Felipe.

“I can’t tell you” I tell him. That probably wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

“Lily” he says in his warning voice and grasps my bottom with a squeeze.

“All I’m going to say is that the thing is your christmas present and I could only find it at his one specific place at the mall. It’s something really special so please don't make me tell you what it is” I say sitting up and looking at him. Felipe doesn't say anything for a second but takes me hand and gives it a kiss.

“Okay amor, don’t tell me what it is. I’ll love whatever you got me. But we need to talk about you potentially putting yourself in dangerous situation. Because I know for a fact that you have put yourself in situations like this before; many times actually” He tells me. I figured our conversation would end up like this. Me ending up over Felipe’s lap getting spanked.

Felipe pulls me over his lap and pats my behind. I’m wearing tweedy bird flannels pajama pants. They’re super soft and comfy. My butt is definitely going to need it soon.

“Listen, I know that you were looking for something in particular but you know you shouldn’t have gone to South District by yourself. Why didn’t Cori go with you?” Felipe aks while raising his hand and bringing it down hard on my left butt cheek. And so it’s begun.

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

He starts to alternate hard spanks at a slow pace.

“Because Cori’s not in town. She went up to some cabin with Eric” I answer through a wince. You should have heard her complaining about going before she left. It is kind of hard to imagine Cori staying in a cabin in the woods. She’s not really into nature.

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

Even though Felipe is going slow, it still hurts like crazy. And my pants haven’t even come down yet!

“Well (smack) I (smack) could (smack) still (smack) have (smack) taken (smack) you. (smack) I (smack) just (smack) wouldn't (smack) have (smack) looked (smack) to (smack) see (smack) what (smack) you (smack) got (smack) me (smack) (smack) “ He says still spanking me and a slow consistent pace. I roll eye into bed sheet to where Felipe couldn’t see. And ruin the surprise? No thanks, but I’ll keep that to myself.  

“But you were helping you brother paint his house today” I trying not to kick my legs.

“I still could have taken you and helped Orlando. Instead, I spent the majority of the day worried about you after you couldn't be reached” He says stopping the spanking to pull my pants down and reveal my panties.

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

“My phone wasn’t fully charged and I forgot my charger here. I didn’t mean to make you worry” I forgot tell him as Felipe continues on spanking me at a faster speed now. I have a tendency to forget to charge my phone a lot. I can't really help it; it just escapes my mind. Today was one of those days.

(smack) (smack) (smack) (smack)

Felipe is now concentrating on my sit spots. Tears are running down my face and I try to move away from the blows. Not like it helped much since Felipe only tightened his hold of me. A dozen more hard smacks to my upturned bottom and then I noticed that his hand has stopped. Great, I guess my panties well come down next.

“Lily, you understand I spanked you because you went to South District by yourself, right? Not because you wanted to get me a present” Felipe asks rubbing my inflamed cheeks. I nod my head through my crying.

“And you’ll be more careful in charging your phone from now on too?” He asks me next. Trust me, I’ll definitely remember to charge my phone thanks to my sore butt. I nod my head again.

“Okay sweet pea, I think you’ve learned your lesson” Felipe pats my bottom and pulls my pajamas up. What? That’s it? I honestly thought he would spank me longer. Not that I’m complaining; far from it, actually. Felipe pulls me off of his lap and I fall down practically on his whole body. I sob into his chest as he rubs my back until I’ve calmed down. I’m practically asleep in Felipe’s strong hold.

“I love you baby. Your mi vida. Mi alma. Tu eras mi todo. Always remember that” I hear Felipe 
whisper to me before kissing my temple.  Am I glad I got his christmas present today? Hell yes! Was it worth my sore butt? For sure, but I don’t think my butt would agree.
