Report to the Headmistress

(Inspired by Caught  from Ronnie)

Simon slowly climbed the stairs in the tenement building located in the west of the chilly city known as the Athens of The North. His destination was a very large apartment with high ceilings and views from the tall windows across Bruntsfield park

This was his third visit and he was unable to control the mix of the  feelings in his mind - somewhere between excitement and trepidation.

When he reached the third floor flat he rang the buzzer. The Headmistress' assistant  opened the door and pointed towards the bathroom door. He handed the attractive looking woman a note. She glanced at it and smiled. "You're in a lot of trouble." He nodded. 

"That's good, " she said. "I will enjoy watching through the side door."

A few moments later and Simon had washed himself down and changed into a white shirt and tie and a pair of grey shorts.

A few steps across the hall and he was in front of the study door. 

Placing the envelope he had brought which contained his Mistress' tribute  on the hall table he fingered the tawse that was put there on show.He remembered the strapping his Mother had given him  on his bottom when he had stolen some sweets from the corner shop and the time his Aunt had taken the tawse to the  the backs of his bare legs when he had been deliberately cheeky to her.

 Simon knocked and waited keeping an eye on the red light in the small electric panel fastened to  the wall at the side of the door..

The wait was just long enough to remind him who was in control. When the light turned green he knocked politely and opened the door.

As he faced the woman, who was seated behind her desk intently studying his note, Simon felt the years fall away. He was a naughty schoolboy once again. The difference now was that, instead of fearing the cane which lay across the top of the desk, he was stiff and excited at the thought of the tall woman in the black gown standing behind him slicing the rattan into the bare cheeks of his still youthful tight bottom.

Practice makes perfect.

You can take 20 for being late and 30 for slovenly behaviour

The old ways are generally the best.
