NEVER GOING TO LET GO

I walk towards daddy trembling in fear. I am gone. Done. I won't to be able to sit for a week. Daddy grabs my hand and slowly pulls me over his laps.

He gives me two light smacks. I expect him to adjust me in a better position on his laps when he suddenly stands me back up. I look at him surprised.

"Did you learn your lesson princess?" he asks.

"No spanking daddy?" I am so surprised that I forget to answer his question.

"I just spanked you. Do you want more? "He asks trying not to smile.

I frantically shake my head.

"So have you learned your lesson?" he asks pulling me on his laps.

"I have daddy." I say and spring upto kiss him.

"Pretty Princess daddy has to tell you that he is sorry."

I look at him in awe. He continues.

"I should have listened to you when you asked me to stay back. It... It was because of me that you had a bullet inside you. I love you but I just wasn't able to look after you. You were hurt. I am so sorry. I... I'm... Umm... You can punish me if you want princess. I'd do anything to make it upto you." he says and fiddles with my hands in his.

I can't stop the tears that are flowing off my cheeks.

He hugs me.

"Shhh... It's okay... Don't cry baby... Daddy is here. Daddy is sorry. Hush little girl." he rubs my back.

"I love you daddy... I... Forgive you. No punishment." I say and kiss him.

He just holds on to me tighter like he is never going to let go.
