It was several hours later and Jack was in a foul mood. Chastity was wearing a very smug expression as they sat in the entertainment room filling out more questionnaires. Her countenance had improved by leaps and bounds since the morning, and Jack’s congenial attitude had gone straight down the tubes not too long after they exhausted the potential of the storeroom on the fifth floor. Chastity had kept the pacifier, and even though she wasn’t sucking on it now, her expression wasn’t doing Jack any good. She looked at him and the smugness transferred to her smile. He caught it and glared at her. “Not a word,” he warned.
Chastity’s expression instantly shifted to angelic innocence. “I didn’t say a thing.”
Glare. “You were thinking it.”
“So?” Chastity said, that oozing innocence having moved into her tone. She might as well have been wearing a halo.
Jack sighed and shut off his glare. “Okay. Fine,” he grumped. “Say it.”
Innocence. “Say what?” she asked, her pretty brown eyes wide. Jack only looked at her. Finally, her innocent look broke and it was replaced by a smug grin. “The look on your face was hilarious!” she exclaimed.
Jack heaved another, much put-upon sigh.
“Oh come on,” she cooed. “You had to have thought it was funny when it happened to me.”
“Messy diapers are not funny!” Jack protested, blushing fiercely.
“Well, I happen to think that the expression on your face when you sat down was priceless.”
“I bet that just makes you feel so much better about your own incident.”
She grinned at him devilishly. “You have no idea.”
“Well, at least I don’t suck on a pacifier.”
Chastity shrugged impishly. “You should try it. Mellows you out.”
Jack looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “No thanks.”
She shrugged again. “Suit yourself,” she said in a singsong tone. Jack only grumbled and went back to his forms. She giggled cheerfully. “The look on your face was priceless,” she murmured excitedly.
Jack put his head in his hands. “Drop it, already!”
Chastity’s glee only increased. “No!” she said childishly and made a pouty face at him, which promptly dissolved into giggles.
“I hope you crap your diaper even worse next time!”
Chastity made a face at him. “Liar.”
“Okay… well… I hope your diaper leaks, then!”
She outright laughed at him. “You have got to be the worst liar I have ever met.”
Jack sighed heavily. “There’s no living with you, you know that.” Chastity grinned at him and put her pacifier back in her mouth, and struck the cutest pose she could possibly do. When Jack saw it his expression became mournful. “And now I have to put up with the teasing…”
Chastity removed her pacifier and stuck her tongue out at him. “Fine, be Mister Grumpy Pants; I’m going to go have fun,” she declared and flounced out of the room. Jack watched her go and then shook his head and returned his attention to the damnable forms. He finished them off and put them in a folder with his name on it, and after closing it he decided to go upstairs to the toy room, figuring that’s where Chastity would be. However, Jean intercepted him.
