Brotherly Love/Page5

Chapter 1, Part 5: Table Manners
Jayson awoke and tried to roll over off of his tummy, but the instant he did he remembered why he was on his tummy to begin with. He wondered what time it was. It had to be a couple of hours at least since his spanking and he was still sore. Looking over to his left he saw his brother still asleep on the other bed. He slipped out of bed and after rummaging around for a couple of minutes managed to find a fresh pair of underwear and a pair of shorts.

He didn’t know if he should leave his room. He didn’t want any more trouble today. He also didn’t want to wake up Jeremy, so he settled to look at a picture book until some adult came to get him. Jayson was surprised to see so many books from his childhood. Grandma must have gotten them from his realmother. He finally settled on a book about a boy and puppy that happened to be one of his favorites when he was a boy.

It had only been a few minutes since he settled back on his bed with the book when mommy peaked her head in the door to check on them. Smiling when she saw Jayson was awake and dressed she motioned for him to follow her.

“I don’t want to wake up Jeremy just yet.” she said as they exited out of the room andinto the hall. “ Are you hungry? I made a special dinner for you two.”

Jayson nodded his head, and taking his mommy’s hand they headed off to the kitchen. Jayson was told to sit down atthe table, while mommy finished up his dinner. Yum, grilled cheese and carrot sticks. Just as he was about to reach out for a bite he was startled by Mommy’s scolding voice.

“Young man, what did I tell you do?”

Jayson looked confused.

“Didn’t I tell you to sit down? Why are you kneeling on the chair?”

“But…Mommy, my bottom hurts” Jayson whined

“ I know it hurts, young man, it’s supposed to hurt. And it’s going to hurt a lot more in a minute.”

Grabbing a wooden spoon in one hand, and grabbing Jayson with the other she managed to deliver several stinging blows to his backside. Jayson arched his back and tried to get away from the spoon but it’s reign of terror continued on his throbbing backside.

“ In this house *swaat*, you will do as you are told *SPLAT-swat-SWAt*. You will learn to follow directions. *WhAp* You are a Penny now and you learn to obey!” *spank- whap- sLAp*

Jayson was in tears again. Why couldn’t he be good? He was tried of being spanked and he knew this was just the beginning.

“I’m sorry Mommy, I’ll be a better listener.” He blubbered out.

“It’s alright sweetie. Now why don’t you sit this time and eat your dinner.”

“Yes ma’am, Thank you.”

Jayson tried to sit up and not to squirm. He actually managed to do a pretty good job. His Mommy smiled at his effort and let him be. Jayson hungrily dug into his dinner.

Abigail turned to make herself and David sandwiches when she noticed a very wide eyed Jeremy watching her. “It’s ok honey, you hungry? Do you want to eat too?”

Jeremy nodded, relieved that he was not next and joined his brother at the table. Even though his bottom was sore he made sure to sit gently down. He didn’t want a replay of what just happened.
