Little Red, Part 6

By Red Rover

Characters:

"Little Red" is Laurie Marlowe, physical age 22, apparent age about 13. Not quite 5 feet tall and slender with long red hair, a baby face and boyish figure.

Colonel Thomas Marlowe, Laurie's father, has returned to take charge of Laurie and to try to keep her out of jail. Colonel Marlowe has arranged for her to pose as a 13-year-old and enter the Seventh Grade at Fillmore Junior High School.

Colonel Margaret England, US Army Retired, is an old family friend of the Marlowes. Having raised three girls a few years older than Laurie, she has agreed to move in with the Marlowes and serve as Laurie’s foster mother.

Fillmore Junior High School is a private, non-sectarian school which covers grades 7-9. It is an old-fashioned school which still practices spanking of children. It is especially known as a place for "problem girls", although about 20% of the students are male. Nobody at Fillmore knows Laurie's real age or status. Marlowe has provided false documents which indicate her age as 13, that she has been held back previously for health problems and has just completed the Sixth grade.

Part 6

That evening it was Tom's turn to cuddle his errant daughter, stroking her back and hair gently as she sat on his lap, still squirming a bit from the pain in her thoroughly spanked bottom. "We don't enjoy this process any more than you do, Little Red, but you understand that we have to get your tantrums under control before you can even start growing up"

"I know, Daddy," Laurie sniffled. "But spankings really hurt, and that girl treated me like I was a little kid."

"Well, to her you are a little kid." Marlowe replied, "After all she is what? Twenty years old?" He looked at Margaret.

"Twenty-one," Margaret responded. "Her birthday was last month."

Marlowe nodded. "Now just imagine that a few months ago, some thirteen-year-old girl was acting up around you. How would you feel about it?'

Laurie nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, I'd have been on her case, too. Funny, you don't think about stuff like that until you find yourself on the wrong end of the hairbrush."

Margaret smiled. "Yes, that's part of growing up. While you were napping this afternoon, Tanya called and asked me how you were doing. She was very concerned. She asked me to apologize to you for anything she said that offended you. She said, 'I know thirteen is a very tough age and I remember going through lots of stress when I was 13.' She also thought you were a 'pretty terrific kid' for the way you pulled yourself together after the spanking and went ahead and picked out your wardrobe."

Laurie smiled. "Really? That's high praise from a girl her age to a real young teen." She thought for a moment. "Tomorrow is Sunday and we don't have anything scheduled that I know of. Could we go over to Tanya's or ask her to come here? I'd like to apologize in person and give her a hug to show there's no hard feelings."

Tom and Margaret beamed with pride. "That's my good girl," Tom exclaimed. "Tanya suggested the same thing. She's got two of the girls she's minding staying with her this weekend, but she says she'd love to see us at her house."

I'll call her back and make the arrangements," Margaret said. She hesitated for a moment and said, "There's something else, we'd like you to think about. You don't have to make a decision right now and we will understand if you say no, so there is no pressure."

"OK," Laurie responded. "Is something wrong?"

"No, honey, nothing is wrong," Margaret said. "It just that your father will be away a lot in the next six months and I have things I have to do as well, so there will be times that neither of us can be with you. Maybe overnight or for several days at a time."

Laurie frowned. This sounded ominous.

Tom took a deep breath. "What we are saying is that we don't think that you're quite ready to be that much on your own yet. We thought it might be better if Tanya could sort of look after you while we are both gone."

Laurie grimaced. "Be my baby-sitter, you mean.' She shrugged. "Funny, I was thinking that as a 13-year-old I could make some pocket money by babysitting. Now I am the one being babysat. And by a girl a year younger than I am."

"Well it's not exactly babysitting, I mean you are a teenager and not a toddler or a grade-school kid, Margaret stated.

"But she will still have the authority to boss me around, control when I come and go, set my bedtimes, monitor my homework and spank me if I mess up, right?"

"Well, yes, but I'm sure it won't come to that."

"I'm not." Laurie stated. "Let's not beat around the bush. I am still immature, hot-headed and likely to get into trouble at a moment's notice. I NEED to have somebody to do that stuff. I may hate her guts while she is spanking me, but I will know that she really is doing it for my own good. And I am sure she won't abuse her power. And let's face the facts. She has already spanked me, she's seen me totally naked and she knows what to expect from me. If I say "no" to her, you will find somebody else to do it and whoever she is might not be as good as Tanya."

She looked seriously at both her parents. "If you think that that's the way to go, I am OK with it."

Marlowe smiled. "Very good, Laurie, I am proud of you." Now let’s get your jammies down so I can rub some more skin cream into your bottom and you can get to bed. Tomorrow may be an exciting day."

Margaret got up and headed for the kitchen. "I'll call Tanya back and make the appointment. Then I'll be up to tuck you in."

Laurie lowered her pajama pants, hugged her father and climbed onto his lap. Life was looking up!

The next morning, the three headed out to Tanya's house. It was actually only about a mile from the Marlowe residence and in a good neighborhood. It was also a much larger house than one would expect a single woman to be living in. Tanya answered the door promptly and escorted them into the living room. She hugged Margaret and Laurie and looked expectantly at Tom.

"This is my dad, Colonel Tom Marlowe," Laurie said. "He looks big and scary and he is, but he likes little girls and big girls too as long as they behave themselves.

Tanya smiled and gave Tom a big hug. "Glad to meet you Colonel, I'll try to behave myself."

"So, are your parents home, Tanya?" Margaret asked.

Tanya smiled, "Well, in a manner of speaking. My dad retired from the Army last year and he and Mom got jobs in Germany on a five-year contract. They decided I was old enough to stay here by myself and, so far, I haven't burned the house down or wound up in jail, so I guess they were right."

Laurie took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry I was such a brat yesterday, Miss Benton. I deserved that spanking and I don't blame you for doing it."

Tanya hugged her again. "You're forgiven, I know what it's like to be a kid and have people put you down and I'm sorry if I did that to you. But I'm forgetting my manners, I have some coffee and soda and some snacky stuff if anybody's hungry or thirsty."

"Coffee will be fine for me," Tom said, "straight black."

"Diet soda for me and Laurie," Margaret said.

"I'll help you get it," Laurie offered and the two girls went off to the kitchen.

When they returned with the drinks, Tanya insisted on putting Tom and Margaret in the "daddy" and mommy" chairs in the living room and the two girls curled up on the sofa.

"Where are the children you are caring for?" Margaret asked.

"They're down in the game room playing video games and watching cartoons." Tanya replied. "I look in on them now and then to make sure they aren't building bombs or digging for gold in the cellar, but they are pretty well behaved most of the time."

Margaret took a deep breath and looked at Tanya. "What I am going to ask is a bit unusual and I want you to feel absolutely free to say no, but let me give you some background first."

Tanya nodded and looked seriously at the two adults.

"As you know, Laurie was being raised by her mother after her divorce from Tom. Well her mother got in serious trouble and has had to give up custody of her, so Tom brought her back here to live. I am a very old friend of the family and I lost my husband a few years ago, so I came along to help out. But both of us have obligations and we don't want to leave Laurie on her own when we have to be a way for several days at a stretch. We felt that she would be better off if she had someone who could look after her while we are away. Not a babysitter, exactly, but a more mature girl who could keep an eye on her and keep her out of trouble. Of course, we would expect to pay the going rate for this."

Laurie spoke up. "It's babysitting, no matter how you sugar-coat it to save my feelings. I know I can't function on my own and I need supervision. And I expect that you will treat me like you treat the other kids you're in charge of, including spanking my butt when I need it. But I can be useful around the house and give you somebody to talk to besides the pre-teens and little kids."

Tanya pondered. "I thought you guys might have something like that in mind and it sounds very interesting. But I need to get straight answers to two questions. First, I know that Laurie is more than thirteen. I have seen her naked body up close and I see little girls' bodies every day. Laurie has to be sixteen or seventeen or even older, not thirteen. You can fool other adults that way, but not a kid my age. The other thing, is Laurie in some kind of serious trouble so you had to change her age?"

Tom smiled. "You are quite correct, Laurie is over eighteen and technically an adult. Her mother is in prison and will probably be there for five or ten years. And Laurie was involved in some of the things that got her mother sent to prison, but she was virtually forced into it by her mother and the courts took that into account. We got a bunch of lawyers and psychologists together and worked out a plan to let Laurie do a repeat of her teen years. So, she is enrolled in the seventh grade and carries an ID card that says she is thirteen. And part of that is necessary because she never finished high school and has forgotten most of what she learned in junior high and high school, so she needs help academically as well. But she is not a dangerous criminal, she is not mentally challenged in any way and she is not wanted by the police. "

Tanya thought about that for a moment. "Then I don't see a real problem with helping her, in fact it will be kind of fun having somebody around closer to my own age to talk to."

Laurie interrupted. "Miss Benton, I need to be completely up front with you. I am not only 'over eighteen' as Daddy said, I am twenty-two years old by the clock. But that's just by the clock. I missed almost 10 years of growing up because of my ex-mother's screw ups. Daddy and my new Mommy are doing a great job helping me grow up, but I could really use a big sister to talk to - somebody that understands what being a teenager is all about. And I want you to treat me as a bratty little sister, making me do my homework, setting rules and blistering my bottom good when I mess up. That spanking you gave me yesterday is just what I will need when I get out of line."

"When we were in the kitchen, i saw that you had a Child Care Provider license on the wall. Well I am a child that needs care and I would be thrilled if you would provide it to me. And I am about to pee my pants, so I am going off to the bathroom while you grownups talk about it."

Tanya laughed. "She is really a great kid. I think I am going to enjoy this. And I won't charge much either, I figure I can get most of it back in housework and charge some of the rest off to entertainment."

Tom heaved a sigh of relief. "You have no idea how happy I am that you have agreed to do this. And I don't think she'll give you a lot of trouble."

Margaret agreed. "She was always high-spirited as a preteen and probably will be again. But there is not a mean bone in her body, she just has control problems sometimes. And we will pay you a fair rate, money is not a problem for us, the main thing is giving our little girl a chance to grow up the right way."

Laurie came bouncing back into the room. "Well, have you decided? Do I have a new Auntie? Huh, huh, huh?"

Tanya laughed, "Yes and no. I will take care of you, but don't call me Auntie or Miss Benton again or I will paddle your little bottom pink. Sisters call each other by their first names. Even big sisters and little sisters And I may be younger than you are, but I am bigger and stronger."

Laurie squealed in delight and threw herself into Tanya's arms. "I'll be the bestest little sister you ever saw, Tanya," she promised. "And when these two finally get married, we can both be flower girls."

Tanya raised her eyebrows and the two colonels blushed in unison. "Little Red has a big mouth," Tom said as he leaned over to smack his daughter's bottom. "But we have discussed the matter and I'm sure you will be very high on the guest list."

Laurie yelped. "Naw, it's gotta be flower girls, i want to see Tanya's long legs in one of those fluffy pink baby dresses."

Tom stood up. "Well this has been very productive. When do you turn your kids loose, Tanya?"

"About five o'clock, " Tanya answered, "Their parents will be picking them up."

"Good," Tom said. "Why don't you come by our house and we can have a good dinner - Margaret is an excellent cook. Then we can get to know each other as a family.'

"That sounds great," Tanya said. "my cooking is about what you'd expect for a post-teen. Maybe we can work out an exchange where I mind the brat and you feed me."

Laurie stuck out her tongue at Tanya and everybody laughed.
