CHAPTER SIX

RAELYN

F inally home for the night, Raelyn sent Emmett a text message after crawling into bed with her paci and Bruce.

They had been texting ever since he gave her his number.

She loved that he checked in with her and asked her about her day.

She couldn’t help but feel giddy every time his name flashed across her phone.

It was probably wishful thinking, but she couldn’t resist changing his name to Daddy Emmett.

Raelyn: I’m finally home and in bed. I can’t wait for tomorrow to come!

She turned her phone over and tried to be patient waiting for him to respond.

“Bruce I don’t know what it is about Emmett, but I like him.”

Bruce looked at her in agreement.

“I know you want to meet him to make sure he is safe, but what if he doesn’t want that side of me? I can’t let my Little get hurt like that again. ”

Bruce scoffed in disagreement, but the pinging of her phone cut off any further argument that he had.

Emmett: Me too Little girl. I am so excited for what I have planned for you.

Emmett: What’s your plan for tomorrow morning before we meet?

Raelyn: I’m going grocery shopping first thing in the morning.

She hated going grocery shopping. Rae tried to go when the store first opened. There were always fewer people and environmental stimulations that could overwhelm her.

It was easier and she could quickly grab her safe foods and then get home for Little time. The more time she got to spend in Littlespace on her days off the better she felt during the week when there was less time for her to relax.

Rae had a horrible experience once when she was shopping later in the afternoon. She knew better than to shop after work because she usually was already at her limit for outside stimulation, but she had hoped that it would be a quick trip as she only needed to grab a handful of items.

What should have been fast ended up taking forty-five minutes because Rae had spent it in the bathroom fighting through a panic attack.

She was standing in the frozen meal section trying to pick which meal she wanted when there had been a huge banging noise a few aisles over and it immediately triggered the attack.

Given how tired she was from working it made sense that it happened, but that didn’t mean that Rae didn’t want to avoid it again, if possible. The morning shoppers are usually elderly and the store has a somber feel to it .

Rae loved shopping in the mornings so much more and so when there was a chance to do it, she would always pick that. Grabbing her phone once more when she heard the alert that another message from Emmett came through.

Emmett: Darling girl, would you be willing to let me crash your morning shopping tomorrow?

Emmett: We can grab breakfast before we go. I would love to spend the whole day with you.

Raelyn paused to think about her answer before she responded. She did want to spend as much time as possible with Emmett, but did she feel like she could handle a whole day with him without slipping into Littlespace? Deciding to hope for the best, she replied to his text.

Raelyn: I would love that! We can meet at the breakfast place around the corner from me.

Emmett: How about you send me your address and I’ll come pick you up?

Emmett: I promise you are safe with me

Rae didn’t doubt that she would be safe with him. She sent him her address and they settled on him picking her up at eight tomorrow morning.

Emmett: Now be a good girl and go to bed. I don’t want you to be tired and cranky tomorrow.

Raelyn: Yes, Sir! Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Raelyn clenched her legs together at Emmett’s text. Her heart raced at the thought of being Emmett’s good girl and all she wanted to do was please him.

Turning her phone off and putting her paci in her mouth, Rae closed her eyes and drifted asleep. She dreamed of all the wonderful things that her Daddy had planned, even though it was wishful thinking he would be hers.
