Maddy

“There’s only one more week until summer vacation,” I tell my class.

The music of their cheers causes me to laugh.

“Are you going to miss me, at all?” I tease. “You’re going to a different grade next year, remember?”

“Yes, but you’re still going to be our teacher, silly.”

I smile knowing that Levi’s right. I’m the only special needs teacher currently employed at the elementary school. I’ll have these students until they either transition to main-stream classes or graduate to Jr. High. Whichever comes first.

“Alright. For homework, I want a seven-million-word essay on why you think having school over the summer is the best idea ever.”

The children groan and I can’t help but laugh.

“I’m teasing,” I sing as the dismissal bell rings. “Have a good weekend, everyone.”

“I’m so freaking mad.”

Reading Knox’s text, I shove my phone in my pocket with a smile. Whatever it is that he’s mad about is going to require all of my attention. I need to clean up first.

When I get in my car, I hit call and toss my phone in the passenger seat.

“I hate men,” Knox answers, his voice loud and very angry through my Bluetooth earbud.

“You are part of the group, you know,” I remind him.

“Well, then, I hate Dom’s.”

Ah. The Mongomery twins.

“What did they do this time?” I ask.

“I tried going on a date,” he tells me.

“Tried?”

“Yes, tried. He’s this massively sexy Daddy Dom I met at a club. Anyway, that’s beside the point. Midway through our date we get interrupted by these two hulking, can’t mind their own business, men demanding to know who the heck was sitting at my table.”

It took some explaining on Knox’s end before I fully understood the dynamic between a Daddy Dom and a Little, like Knox. I don’t think I could ever give someone that much control over my life but at the same time, I can understand the appeal.

The trust to give yourself over to someone so completely is baffling to me. Heck, I don’t even trust my parents that much.

“What happened?” I ask, stopping my car at a traffic light. I really should have waited until I was home to call Knox. I’m completely invested in this story now.

“What do you think happened?” he grumbles.

“They dragged you away from your date kicking and screaming?” I guess, already knowing the answer. This isn’t the first time this month this exact same thing happened.

“It’s so freaking frustrating, Maddy,” he whines. “They won’t let me live my life the way I want.”

“They’re just trying to keep you safe,” I remind him. “They care about you, Knox.”

“Maybe,” he sighs. “But, caring about me means letting me live a life that would make me happy. I’m not all that happy right now. I really needed this date, Maddy. We were going to go to the Big/Little club up in Pointhill for a Little date. Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve been able to regress? Six months. I can’t find that safe space in my head to let go.
