I stayed after school today to work alone in the studio. I turned the music off a while ago. I'm not even dancing anymore. Right now I'm just stretching and watching myself in the mirror. The silence feels good. I'm hardly ever alone now that I pretty much live with Chris. Don't get me wrong, I love being around her. I'm not complaining but it's nice to be by myself every now and then.

I watch myself in the mirror and begin to think about my freshman year. I was terrified. I remember the pep talk Liv had to give me before I even walked into class. I was nervous because it was fucking Christine Bell teaching and I was afraid that the other students were going to be so much better than me. Not to mention that green tutu I had to wear. I knew I could dance but I didn't think I was as good as other people claim I am. Chris said she feels like that sometimes too. Which is hard to believe. How could she not know she's a dance genius? If I was as half as good as she was, I would never worry about what other people thought.

"I still can't get my leg that high." A voice says from behind me.

I turn around to see Sam. She looks shy, like you would while speaking to a stranger. I give her a small smile. "Hey." I say softly.

She smiles. "Hi."

I clear my throat and look around. "I can go if you wanted to practice. I've been in here for a while." I say preparing to take off my shoes.

"No. No. I was just looking for Mrs. Beckner."

"Oh. I haven't seen her."

"Okay." Sam nods. There's an awkward silence. She looks around bouncing back and forth from her toes to her heels then back again. "How are you?"

"I'm fine. You?"

"Yeah. Great." She nods. The way she's staring at me is off putting.

I chuckle nervously. "What, Sam?"

"I know." She whispers.

"You know what?" I ask.

She goes back and closes the studio door. "About you and Miss Bell."

That probably means half of the school knows.

"I haven't told anyone and I won't. I swear. I learned my lesson last time." She looks at the ground and actually looks remorseful.

"How did you find out?" I ask. I've always been curious about how she gets her hands on the information that she does.

"I was at lunch over the summer and coach K was there too. She was on the phone and she said something about Miss Bell and a student. She didn't say your name but it was a no brainer. The way you reacted about the flowers and stuff. The whispering between you two. Your showing up early to class and staying after."

I laugh. Those stupid fucking flowers.

"I just kind of put it together." She says.

"So you've known this entire time and haven't said anything to anyone?"

She shakes her head no.

I'm genuinely impressed. That must have been quite the challenge for her. "Thanks Sam." Though it doesn't really matter for Chris anymore, I'm not sure I could take the extra stories and rumors that would sprout from it.

"I owed you one."

I nod. "I guess."

"Sooo... are you two still..."

I laugh. She really can't help herself. "Yes."

She smiles. "Oh my god. How is she? Is she ever coming back? Is it weird that I miss her? I mean Beckner is nice and all but fuck. I feel like I'm five in beginners ballet again."

We both laugh.

"I know. Yeah she's great actually but no. She's not going to come back. I'll tell her how much you miss her though." I'm sure she'll get a kick out of that.

"But she'll be at graduation though, right? Seeing how you're her boo." She smirks and raises her eyebrows at me.

"I hate you so much." I say laughing.

Sam puts her stuff down and we sit on the floor. She tells me everything I've missed, as though they were things that interest me. I don't stop her though. I don't mind. She asks me about Tori and Liv. I don't tell her that Liv and I aren't speaking. Instead, I tell her about my birthday party and my engagement. She squeals and we giggle like teens at a sleepover. We talk about how bad of a teacher Mrs. Beckner is and we laugh over our shared hatred of coming to class now. It dawns on me that maybe I have missed Sam.

After Sam and I got all caught up I packed up my things and headed home to Mistress. I missed her and I know she probably misses me. I walk through the door and it's quiet. Extremely quiet. I walk into the den and she's cuddled up on the couch reading. There's a glass of wine on the table and very faint jazz music playing so quietly I didn't even hear it at first. She glances up from the book and smiles at me.

"Hi, baby." She says.

"Hello."

"How are you?"

"Okay. Tired. How are you?" I ask. She seems relaxed and comfortable. It's good to see her this way instead of up, running around, trying to clean every crevice of the house again.

"I'm great."

"I see that."

She sits up. "I made lasagna."

"That sounds amazing."

She shrugs. "I hope so. I was waiting for you to eat."

"Really?"

She smiles. "Yeah. My mom and dad always waited for each other and I always thought it was really sweet."

I stroll over the couch and kneel on the floor beside her after giving her a kiss. "It is sweet and so are you. I wish I could have met them."

"Me too. My dad would have really liked you."

"Just your dad?" I ask.

She laughs. "No, my mom too but you and my father would have gotten along famously. You remind me of him with your playfulness. He always wanted to make people happy and play pranks on everyone. My mom was a bit more reserved. She would have loved to see you dance though. She had a thing for dancers."

"A thing like... I could have been your step mom? Because I've seen pictures of your mom and I see where you get your looks from."

Chris erupts into laughter. "Yeah right. You're barely old enough to be my girlfriend." She says.

"I'm not your girlfriend. I'm your fiancé."

She grabs my hand and kisses it. "That's right. Now go get cleaned up for dinner. I'm starving."

I kiss her one more time before heading to the shower. Coming home to her for the rest of my life sounds too good to be true.

Graduation is getting closer and closer. I'm so excited to be done with school. Though, in all my excitement, I'm also nervous about my next step. I'm not sure what I want to do. Chris says I should take some time off and just relax. I could be her housewife. I was uncomfortable with the idea at first but it's starting to grow on me. I could water the plants and make dinner. I could pick up a new hobby or walk the dog we don't have yet but I'm definitely talking her into. Maybe in that down time I can sit down and really decide what I want to do. Chris comes back and hands me a cup of tea. She looks at her watch

"Isn't Kandace coming to whisk you away any minute now?" She asks.

I sigh. "Yes."

"Well shouldn't you be getting dressed?" She asks.

I cuddle closer to her. "I don't want to go."

She chuckles. "Didn't she call this your bachelorette party?"

"Yes."

"So you have to go, babe. It'll be fine."

"But-"

"No, no, no. Go." She pushes me upright.

I pout. "It feels like you're trying to get rid of me."

She laughs. "I am."

I gasp. "You're so mean."

She pulls me close and kisses the top of my head. "You know I'm going to miss you, but your sister is already so excited."

"I know."

After a few more minutes of being lazy and cozy, I get up to figure out what I'm going to wear. The theme at the club tonight is Geeks and freaks. I sort through my clothes to find something along those lines. I've acquired quite the kink collection over time. I put on something Kandace won't roll her eyes at. Actually, I look cute as hell. Mistress will second guess me leaving without her. I stare at myself in the mirror. This shirt wasn't this snug when I bought it. However, my boobs look so good in it this way. Like they'll fall out if I move the wrong way and my butt looks good too. I put my hair in pigtails and wear a fake pair of glasses from an old Halloween costume.

I walk back into the den. Mistress double takes. I giggle.

"How do I look?" I ask spinning around for her.

"Like you want me to bend you over my knee and spank you." She says before licking her lips.

"Just what I was going for." I sit on her lap. "I'm going to miss you." I say, putting my fingers in her hair.

She grips my ass. "I'm going to miss you more but I want you to have fun. It's your bachelorette party."

I smirk. "How much fun are we talking?"

She chuckles. "Just save these for me." She begins kissing me. I kiss her back and I tease her tongue with mine. I love kissing so much. It's such an intimate act for me. She pulls away.

I raise an eyebrow. "Are saying what I think you're saying?"

She shrugs. "I don't have to know every detail about your night."

I'm not sure why but that really gets me going. I press my lips to hers and we enter a hot and heavy make out session. She begins to unbutton my shirt when the sound of the doorbell interrupts us. I don't stop. Neither does she. It rings over and over. Again and again. I groan. I hate Kandace so much right now. I get up to answer the door. Mistress clears her throat and motions to button my shirt. I giggle and button it quickly. The door swings open to reveal Kandace, Elaine, and...Tori? What is Tori doing here? I didn't know Elaine was coming either but Tori? Does she know what she's getting herself into? Kandace must have dressed her. The bow tie and the way her hair is brushed really screams geek, while the leather harness she has on is freak. If I'm not mistaken her pants are also leather. Kandace and Elaine look exactly how I would imagine them to look, like sluts.

"What the hell, Kat? Did you not hear the doorbell?" Kandace ask, pushing past me to enter the house. "You look good by the way."

I roll my eyes. "Thanks." I let Elaine and Tori in. "What are you two doing here? I didn't know you were coming."

They both hug me.

"When Kandace says you have to come somewhere, you don't really say no." Tori says.

Kandace smiles at her and lovingly squeezes her chin. "You're so smart and cute. I want to keep you for a pet."

Tori smiles widely.

"Do you hear yourself when you talk?" I ask.

"Yes." She answers nonchalantly.

Kandace does have a way of turning people into putty. First Markus. Now Tori. She's a people person. She's good with them.

They follow me to the den where mistress is still sitting on the couch. She's a little flustered but she hides it well. Elaine sits next to her and gets really close. Chris pretends to hate it when Elaine flirts with her, but I know she secretly likes it. I think it's funny.

"Hiii Chris." Elaine says stroking her hair.

Mistress pulls away from her and bites back a smile. "Hi Elaine."

Elaine sighs. "Are we still playing hard to get?"

"Playing? Hardly." Chris says.

"Where's the bathroom again?" Tori asks.

"I'll show you." Kandace says.

"I'm sure you will." I mumble.

Kandace smirks at me before disappearing with Tori.

"Babe, do you see this?" Chris asks me, motioning to Elaine.

"No. What are you talking about?" I ask dispassionately.

Elaine laughs and sits on her lap. "Can I sit here?" Elaine asks me.

"I don't see why not." I answer. Admittedly, I'm getting turned on.

"When are you all leaving?" Chris asks grumpily.

Elaine squeezes her cheeks. "You're so cute when you're angry."

Mistress rolls her eyes and I laugh.

"Okay. Okay Elaine. Leave her alone." I say pulling her from Christine's lap.

Tori and Kandace come back.

"Are we ready?" Kandace asks.

Suddenly I remember the last touch my outfit needed. I tell them I'll be right back and I fetch the yard stick from the painting room. Maybe I'll be someone's teacher instead of the student tonight. When I get back downstairs Kandace chuckles.

"Nice ruler." She says.

"Better to spank people with." I joke.

"Switching roles tonight, are we?" She asks.

I give her a knowing look.

"Have fun." Mistress says.

"I will." I kiss her before we leave.

On the way there we scream songs at the top of our lungs and laugh uncontrollably. Tori is sitting up front next to Kandace with Elaine and I sitting in the back. Tori leans over and turns the music down. She turns and looks at all of us.

"So.. what kind of club is this again? Like.. why do we have to dress like this? I heard something about Kat spanking someone? Do I have to get hit?" She rambles, "I really don't want to be hit."

I laugh. "No one is going to hit you without your permission, Tori."

"Yeah," Elaine says, "it's a BDSM club. Everyone is pretty welcoming."

"BD what?" Tori asks.

Kandace laughs. "You're so sweetly innocent. I'm going to ask Clay if we can keep you."

"Who's Clay?" Tori asks.

"My boyfriend."

Tori frowns. "You like guys??"

"Sometimes." Kandace chuckles and turns up the volume again so we can go back to our bad singing. When we get to the club the line is outside and around the corner. Before we get out of the car, Kandace places a Bride to be crown on my head because of course she would.

"This line sucks." Tori says.

"We're not standing in that." Kandace says, leading us to the front. A tall, and quite frankly, scary looking man is standing in front of the door with his arms folded. It seems like he wears a permanent frown. Kandace walks up to him and taps him on the shoulder.

"Hank." She says.

He looks down at her and his scowl turn into a smile. "Kandy. How's it going?" He asks, wrapping his wide muscular arms around my sister.

Kandace laughs. "I'm great. Mind letting us in?" She asks.

"Yes ma'am. Of course." He says eagerly. He turns towards the crowd of people. "Back up!" He barks. Even though he isn't talking to me, his deep voice still scares me. Hank removes the rope and opens the door for us. Kandace kisses him on the cheek. We get our wristbands and head inside.

"First things first," Kandace says over the music, "shots!"

We all stroll to the bar and order a round. The first burns as usual. The second one is no easier. Ugh. We move to the dance floor and dance with each other. Tori seems shy, like she doesn't want to dance. Kandace pulls her closer and holds her so close she has to move her feet to keep up. Tori starts laughing but eventually gets in the groove of things by herself. While I'm dancing with Elaine, someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn around to see a stranger holding my ruler. I must have left it at the bar.

"This was on my seat. The bartender said it belonged to you." She says, showcasing a dazzling smile. She's strikingly beautiful.

I take it from her. "Thank you."

She reads my crown and smiles. "Have a good night, bride to be."

"Thank you."

We make prolonged eye contact before she turns away and leaves.

"Oooooo." Elaine teases in my ear.

"Shut up." I laugh and playfully hit her with the ruler.

"Stop. I might like it."

"Oh you'd definitely like it." I reply.

She smirks at me. We dance a little longer before Tori wants to see what's upstairs. We travel to the upper level and her eyes become two wide shining moons.

"They're enjoying that?" Tori whispers to me as she watches a sub being whipped.

I nod. "Definitely."

"I don't get it." She says, looking around. Her tone isn't judgmental, just confused.

"You've never choked a girl or asked a girl to choke you or maybe, like, a little spanking?" I ask.

She shakes her head no.

I sigh. "Oh wow. We would have never worked out."

She double takes at me. "You... you do this?" She asks astonished. "Wait! I had a chance?!"

I laugh. She just stares at me and shakes her head. Elaine and Kandace go downstairs so Kandace can get another drink. Tori and I walk around and explore the different exhibitions. Tori lingers at the Dom shocking his sub. Two guys. Didn't see that being the one she stopped at. She watches and I can tell she's absolutely fascinated.

"Ma'am?" A little but deep voice says from behind us. I turn around and see a guy with his head bowed.

"Yes?" I ask confused.

"May I serve you?" He asks still looking at the ground.

Kandace and Elaine walk up beside us.

"What are you doing?" Kandace asks me.

I shrug. "I don't know he just came up and asked if he could serve me."

Kandace gets a good look at the guy and giggles. She pulls his head up by his hair. "Rodney, this is my sister. Not me."

He looks at the both of us and blushes. "Oh. My apologies."

"Go away, Rodney." She says.

He nods and scurries along.

"Now you," Kandace looks at me like she's up to something, "come with me." She grabs my hand and leads us all to a velvet door. It blends into the wall. Hidden in plain sight, I've never noticed the door before now. We walk inside and it is a stark contrast from the rest of the club. It's plush and well lit. It's not bright, but a soft pink sort of glow illuminates the room. It like heaven but with stripper poles. Wait. Did Kandace get me strippers? I start laughing. Could she be anymore predictable? I love it though.

Kandace hold up a bag I hadn't noticed until now.

"What's that?" I ask.

She smiles and opens the bag to reveal wads of cash. "Courtesy of Greg. Granted he doesn't really know what it's for. I just told him it was for you wedding costs."

I start laughing. It's so many single dollar bills. The dancers come in and the music starts.

"Kat, if you wanted a pole dancer all you had to do was say so." Elaine whispers to me.

I grin at her. "You'll always be my favorite."

They bring us more drinks and we start throwing money. I can already tell it's going to be a great night.
