The Unknown

How many times

At the Foundation

Shane's pov

Since Mike planned on having Lisa under his watchful eye all day, I'm in charge of keeping tabs on Julie, which includes making sure she not only behaves but also makes productive use of her time here. I decided to lay down the law right off the bat.

Julie's pov

As soon as we arrived at the Foundation, Mike took Lisa into his office and slammed the door, which earned him quite a tongue lashing from Dr. Curtis. Shane ushered me into his office but left his door ajar, not wanting to commit the same faux pas.

He immediately turned to me and sternly said, "Sit down! I want to make my expectations for today clear."

I obediently sat on the edge of one of Shane's office chairs as my bottom was still quite tender from my earlier discussion with the good doctor.

Shane dove right into the deep end, "I expect you to work the entire time you're here. You may take two five minute breaks and a fifteen minute lunch. That's it, nothing more. Clear?"

"Am I allowed to use the loo, gov'nor, or is that privilege reserved only for the higher ups?" I replied rather snottily, but seriously why is Shane givin' me a hard time when I didn't even do anything to him.

Apparently not amused nor impressed with my response, Shane yanked me out of the chair to stand before him.

"I'm in no mood for your smart comments, Julie. Let me remind you that you're here on punishment, little girl, which means there are no warnings. Any misbehavior goes straight to consequences. Understand?" Keeping the vice grip on my arm, Shane slapped my bottom harshly. "I mean it, no warnings," he reiterated.

"Yes sir." Shit that hurt. As soon as he turned his back, I rubbed my stinging butt. Fuck, the boys did not come to play today. It'd be in my best interest to stay off their radar for the rest of the day.

Mike's office

Lisa's pov

Mike had yet to say a word to me all morning. He didn't even tell me to follow him into his office, he just grabbed me and dragged me along. I did derive some misplaced satisfaction from watching Dr. Curtis rip him a new one for slamming his door but that was very short lived because as soon as he left, it was my turn in the hot seat.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU'RE IN RIGHT NOW? I know everything you told me yesterday was a lie so I suggest you start explaining yourself right quick, young lady, or the punishment you're about to receive will be exponentially worse." Mike was livid. I think Dr. Curtis's verbal reprimand just stoked the fire already raging inside him.

"I don't know what to say, Mike." Okay, I admit, I'm a coward. I not only avoided confessing but I declined to face my accuser as well.

"HOW ABOUT THE TRUTH, LISA? LET'S START WITH THAT! How many times did you lie to me last night?" Mike glared at me but I remained silent. "ANSWER ME, LISA! HOW MANY?" 

"I don't know, Mike. What does it matter anyway? Can't you just punish me so we can get this overwith already?" I know I should probably be a lot more repentant right now but for some reason, I'm just not feelin' it. Ya know? Maybe it's because of the rude way I was awakened this morning.

"Are you even listening to the words coming out of your mouth right now, young lady?" Mike definitely had a black rage in his eyes that darkened not only his face but his entire persona as well.

Declining to answer, I chose to pout instead.

"You're going to receive one hour of reflection time for each lie you told me last night and when we get home you'll receive ten strokes for each lie with my new leather belt. Do I have your attention now, Lisa?" Mike's face was beet red and his fists were clenched tightly by his side, giving me a very clear picture of just how enraged he was with my less than truthful words yesterday.
