"I should let you rest," he says.
"Will I see you tomorrow? At the shop?"
"Absolutely. Same time as always."
"What if I make you something special? To celebrate?"
"Celebrate what?"
"Our date. Us. This." I gesture between us.
His smile is warm. "I'd love that."
He kisses me again, soft and sweet. “Text me before you go to bed. Don’t stay up too late.”
Then waits until I'm inside and the door is locked before leaving.
I check on Mochi, who is still sleeping, apparently kittens sleep a lot, then collapse onto my couch, grabbing Mr. Snuggles and hugging him tight.
My phone buzzes immediately.
Emily: How was the date???
Lily: DETAILS. NOW.
Madison: Did he kiss you?
Holly: Is he your Daddy?
I stare at the messages, a smile spreading across my face.
Chloe: He's a Daddy Dom. And he knows I'm a Little. And we're going to explore it together.
The chat explodes.
Madison: I KNEW IT!
Lily: This is the best news ever!
Holly: Welcome to the Daddy club!!!
Emily: I'm so proud of you for being honest with him.
Amber: Wait, backup. Start from the beginning.
Maya: Yes! We need every detail.
I spend the next hour typing out everything. The conversation at dinner. The walk in the park. The kiss.
By the time I finish, my thumbs are tired and my face hurts from smiling.
Madison: You deserve this, babe. You deserve someone who sees all of you and loves all of you.
Lily: Ethan and I are so happy for you.
Holly: Can we do a double date? Or like a group thing? I want to meet Tyler properly.
Emily: Chloe gets to enjoy this first. Then we can all interrogate him
