Little School: Ria's AdventuresWords: 4737

Daddy fixed us lunch after that and got permission for me to take nap time at home with him. I was worn out and ready for my nap too. Cuddling on daddys chest felt sooo good. I never wanted to leave.

"Ria, come on baby. We gotta get you up for the rest of classes," daddy said kissing my head

"Noooo. Stay here!" I huffed snuggling into him more.

"Oh come on now be a good girl and get up," daddy said sitting up.

I flung my arms around his neck and held on as tight as possible. I locked my legs around him too.

"Ria come on. Daddy gave you a special treat today. Lets not ruin it by acting up," He said

I didnt want to ruin the day. Its why I didnt want to go back to class

"Daddy me want be with you," I said letting tears prick my eyes

"Oh no. No crying. Come on now. You know how important school is. Daddy has a test to get to this afternoon too."

I let myself full on cry into daddys shoulder.

"Pwease no go!" I wailed clingly tightly

I heard daddy sigh and he ran his hands through his hair like he does when he is thinking.

"Ria, come on now. No crying. We will have tonight together. Its only a few more hours of classes. Go to class and be a good girl for the rest of the day and you can pick what we do tonight. Anything, within reason, you want."

I stopped crying and immediately had a thought

"We go out for dinner and get ice cream?" I asked sheepishly

"Yes. If you earn it by going to school and being good for the rest of the day"

"Yay! Okay daddy lets go!"

"Well someone sure changed their mind easy" daddy said chuckling and putting his shoes on.

We fixed our hair and then daddy walked me to class.

*******************************

Music and home room went by fast. Partly because I didn't pay too close attention to them. I tried my best to be good and just get through the day. I was excited for a date with my daddy though!

Finally the last bell rang and I bolted to the library to meet daddy.

"Daddy!" I said throwing my arms around him.

He chuckled and hugged me back.

"Hi princess. How was the last couple of hours?"

"Good! I was on my bestest behavior!" I said proudly.

"Awe yay. Well then I guess that means we get to go on a date! You wanted to go eat liver and onions right?"

"Ewwww!!! Nooo daddy ice cream!!" I said a little too loud

Daddy ssshed me and tried not to smile.

"We still have to be patient though and let daddy do his job here. Are you going to go read while I do that?" He asked turning to the computer expecting my yes

"Nooo I wanna go now," I said huffing and crossing my arms.

"Baby you know daddy has a job to do. And this is not being good behavior. I still expect you to be good to earn the right to go out tonight or we will stay in if you cant be good. Now go read or do something quietly" he commanded

"But daddy" I started whining, "im too excited to go. Can I go back to the room and start getting dressed and cute so we can leave after you're done"

Daddy looked hesitant on that.

"I think its best you wait here princess."

I was about to pout again but then Leah and Eloise walked in.

"Ria!! I missed you at lunch today!" Eloise said hugging me.

"Daddy and I went back to our room for lunch," I said winking and giggling .

Eloise caught on and went "ooooo gross" jokingly.

"Mommy can Ria come with us to play outside?" She said suddenly turning to Leah.

"Eloise! That is not how we ask. That is also up to Ria and her daddy," she said lightly scolding her.

"Ria do you wanna?" She asked not catching on to what Leah was saying.

Leah just put her head in her hands shaking her head.

I saw daddy nod at Leah saying it was okay out of the corner of my eye so I turned to daddy

"Can I daddy? Can I Leah?" I asked with puppy eyes

"Yes but you better behave. I'll get you once I'm done here. If you are bad at all for Leah, even just a small amount of sass or anything beyond good and polite and there is no date tonight. Understood?" He said staring me.

His gaze he was using always made me feel small and powerless. I nodded and tore my gaze away to look at Leah.

"Yes that is fine,"she said.

"Yay!" Eloise and I cheered.

We were shushed by someone else from a table I couldnt see so we quieted our giggles till we were outside.

***Alex's Point of View***

5pm rolled around and I finally was able to close up. I shut off computers and lights and locked up the doors.

I checked my phone and had a message from Leah

"Started raining so we went back to my room"

I arrived at her door soon and knocked.

"Hey Alex, Ria and Eloise have been playing in her bedroom. I'll go get her."

I nodded and waited taking a seat on the couch.

"OMG GIRLS! WHAT HAPPENED?" I heard Leah shout from the hall.

I jumped up and prepared myself for whatever was in that room.
