The next couple weeks were busy and happy for both
Damalis and Iggy as they got to know each other and
settled into a routine of home school and work. School was
not as bad as Iggy remembered it and, with Damalis' help
and support, an independent study course was set up so
Iggy could catch up. They played ball after school and, on
weekends, they worked at the restaurant.
Life, of course, was not all sweetness and light. Iggy was a
stubborn young man with a huge chip on his shoulder.
Arguments about the rules, and the occasional broken rule
on swearing happened but were swiftly dealt with.
About two weeks after Iggy's arrival, Damalis was in the
study, working on papers for his estate, when then phone
rang.
"Hello"
"Hello, may I speak with Mr. Dapolous please?" a woman's
voice came over the wire.
"This is he."
"This is Ms. Vaughn, Principal at Westridge High. We met
when you enrolled Ignatius Preston."
"Yes, I remember you Ms. Vaughn. How may I help you?"
"I am afraid you need to come pick up Ignatius, He and
another boy were involved in a fight. They have both been
suspended for three days."
"What happened?" Damalis felt old.
"Evidentially another student was teasing Iggy about his
height, and Iggy hit the boy."
"I'll be right down." Damalis said and severed the
connection. Feeling his blood pressure rising.
He used the time in the jeep to calm down but, when he saw
the black eye and split lip of the other boy, Damalis boiled
again. A few formalities and he and Iggy were on the way
home. The ride home was silent. Iggy could see that
Damalis was furious with him. Iggy barely let the car stop
before he jumped out and raced to his room.
Damalis was hot on his heels. Iggy slammed his bedroom
door hard and locked it. A moment later music was blaring
at full blast.
"Open this door Ignatius!" Damalis yelled over the vibrating
bass. No answer.
"ONE!" Damalis counted.
"TWO!" His voice got louder so he could be heard.
"THREE!!!" Damalis lifted one foot and kicked the door
open.
Iggy was on the bed, he jumped up and tried to run but
Damalis caught him before he got every far. Iggy panicked,
he began screaming in terror. "Don't hurt me. Please.
HELP!!"
Damalis landed one hard swat on the boy's rump. "Enough!"
Damalis said, more calmly than he felt. "You have just lost
your door. Now you will plant your nose in his corner and
stay there!" Damalis marched Iggy to a corner in the
hallway. "Feet flat on the floor. Stand up straight. Hands
behind your back. Nose right in the corner. Now don't move
or speak. Don't even think about turning around." Satisfied
at Iggy's stance, Damalis got his tools. First he repaired
Iggy's door, then he removed it from the hinges. Next
Damalis removed the lock off the bathroom door as well. By
that time he felt more calm.
"Come here Ignatius." Damalis said quietly. Iggy left his
corner and walked to where Damalis was sitting in his room
on the bed.
"Now talk to me imp. What was that display all about?"
"I wanted to be alone. I knew you wouldn't listen to nothing I said."
Damalis stopped the boy, "Hold it, didn't I say I would always listen?"
"Well yes, but."
"No buts Iggy, this is important. I said I would always listen and I will. But you have to meet me half way. You never even gave me a chance. You locked me out."
"I'm sorry Dama."
"I know you are now and you will have no door for a while." Damalis took Iggy's face in both his hands. "Never lock me out child, this is very important. I can't talk to you if you lock me out."
Iggy blinked back tears and whispered. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again, I promise. I just.. well no one ever listened before."
Damalis kissed Iggy's forehead. "I know imp, now what happened at school?"
"That boy was dissing me about being short. He kept calling me a baby and a kindergartner and dwarf and then he started saying how my .......amm...... how I was... amm...... err...... too small to be with a woman. You know...... amm...... here." Iggy blushed to his roots as he gestured below his waist.
"I know." Damalis said gently. "What else?"
"I tried to ignore him but he kept at me. Every day and today he cornered me in the locker room and kept at me and at me and at me. Even when I told him to back off. So," Iggy looked nervous and didn't meet Damalis' eyes. "So I punched him. I would have won too if coach hadn't pulled us apart."
"You threw the first punch?" Damalis asked.
"Yes sir, I did." Came the whispered answer.
Before Iggy knew what was happening he was over Damalis' knee, his bottom bared, and crisp sharp swats were raining down. Iggy screeched and struggled, his legs kicked out as the merciless hand quickly heated his bottom.
Iggy's face burned as much as his rump did.
"What is this spanking for?" Damalis asked, the sharp swats didn't stop even for a moment.
"OWW for throwing the first OWW punch!"
"That is never acceptable." Damalis punctuated each word with a swat. "I know some times fights can't be avoided. HOWEVER, starting one can be avoided ALWAYS!" Damalis was adding extra swats for each word this time.
Iggy was crying hard by the time the swats stopped. "I'm sorry! Sorry please Dama!" Relieved it was over. That relief was short lived as a new pain exploded in his rump. Iggy looked back as he screamed out with the new pa
in. Damalis was using his hairbrush.
"If you fight, you get spanked. But if you start the fight then you get DOUBLE!"
"DOUBLE?!?!?" Iggy gasped out.
"Yes double!" Damalis said "As stated in the rules." and he began the spanking again. Hard.
By the time he was done Iggy thought his rump would spontaneously combust. He sobbed limp over Damalis' lap. His bottom a dark shade of red. Damalis let Iggy lay over his lap for a time, until his sobs had lessened. Then
helped him up into a tight hug.
"Shh imp, its over for now." Damalis soothed the boy.
"For now?" Iggy queried.
"You're suspended for three days. You will get a spanking each day but only with my hand. You're grounded for a week. No restaurant, no basketball, no TV, no GameBoy, nothing. You will write an essay on why you shouldn't
start fights. And another one on the on alternatives to fighting when being teased."
Iggy nodded, too exhausted even to argue the loss of his whole life. Damalis pulled Iggy's pants back up, and slipped him under the covers. As he kissed the sleeping boy on the forehead, he whispered. "We will get through
this Imp, together."
