The morning coffee and lunchtime sushi were finally starting to do their work.
Speaking of this stuff…there was definitely a bullet in the chamber so to speak.
Determined not to ruin this for himself, Doug clenched a little.
Already he was working out a gameplan:
At some point Melissa would get off, too, he supposed, but that didn’t come into his calculations.
Melissa was a big girl and knew how to take care of herself.
“Almost ready,” Melissa told him.
He heard a strange, yet oddly familiar crinkling sound.
Eerily familiar.
“You opening something up?”
He asked. Maybe Melissa had a toy in a plastic bag that she was just now opening.
Melissa didn’t immediately respond.
“Thrust your hips up for me,” she said.
He did so. Even with his legs the way they were he still had enough to get his butt up a few inches.
“Good boy. Go ahead and lower yourself down.
Good.” Doug’s bottom came down on something soft and padded, almost like an extra layer of bedding.
When he did, he heard that same crinkle.
“Open up.” Melissa told him.
Doug did, but only to ask a question.
He never got a word out.
Something resembling a babys Pacifier entered his mouth
Still blindfolded he frowned
Once again, Doug’s own chain of thought was interrupted as he felt Melissa gentle hands.
“What the?” He mumbled.
The thing was just wide enough that he couldn’t spit it out right away.
Click-click.
Doug felt something fasten around him, fastening onto the base, but not quite covering him otherwise…
Without looking at it he couldn’t quite identify it , though.
“Okay, baby,” Melissa said, her voice cooing the way women do when they’re talking to a small child.
“Now, you can look.”
The blindfold was torn away from his eyes.
What Doug saw made his own personal Error 404 screen blip up in his brain.
Melissa had changed her clothes.
She wasn’t wouldn’t be wearing anything that Doug would have expected to see.
Her skinny jeans and tight t-shirt had been traded in for a modest dress;
the kind that people wore to church on Sunday.
She’d taken out her contacts and put on her glasses.
As soon as his brain registered what she was wearing, his eyes finally realized what she was doing!
There was a camera set up in the bedroom, pointed right at him!
“Hold still, baby.” Whether out of a physical inability or a mental overload,
Douglas did stay still.
He stay still; still enough to watch in wide-eyed horror and shrieked as Melissa pulled a diaper up.
A diaper! A REAL diaper!
Not like a Depends or whatever those old people wore in nursing homes.
This one had cartoons on the front.
Little cartoon meteors decorated the front, with a green triceratops standing in profile on the top of the waistband.
It was thick, too!
Other than the plastic backing, it looked exactly like the type of diaper an actual baby might wear.
A quick glance to the dresser behind the camera, and Doug realized that there were plenty more where that one had come.
Douglas used his tongue to push the bulbous pacifier- and it was a pacifier- out of his mouth
“Melissa! What the Hell?!”
Melissa glowered at him as she finished taping the ridiculous thing on him.
“It’s Mommy to you, little boy!” she scolded him.
“And no cursing.
You get one warning.”
Douglas laughed.
Actually laughed.
“Are you kidding-?”
Whack!
Melissa had a paddle nearby.
Her blow smacked the outside of his hip.
It stung alot!
“Bad baby!”
Whaaaaack
That one felt like it might actually leave a bruise.
“Bad Baby!”
” Ow !, Ow!, Ow! Okay I am sorry
Whaaaaack
That one definitely a bruise.
Her voice lowered back down.
“You’re sorry, who?”
“I am sorry Melissa”
Whack!
“Say it right, baby boy.”
She was even scarier now that she wasn’t yelling
“Say my name.
Tears of pain we’re already starting to form in Douglas’s eyes.
“Mommy! Your name is Mommy!”
She put down the paddle and walked over to his head.
She gave him a kiss on the forehead.
“Good baby.”
“Melissa, why are you-”
Whack!
That one had been barehanded but it still hurt.
“Uh-uh-uh.”
“Mommy, why are you doing this?”
In answer, she went back over to the dresser where the extra diapers, a bottle of baby powder, wipes, and some lotion were all placed.
