All the Littles busted up laughing, and in their fit of giggles, they gave up on the plates and forks and just ate the messy cupcakes with their fingers. Crumbs were everywhere.
Avery figured crumbs were no big deal. They could clean them up when they were done. At least the floor was tile and not carpet in this little break room.
And then things escalated.
Chapter Ten
CC
CC wasn’t sure who started it, but she thought maybe Elizabeth accidentally bumped into Kiki. Purple frosting got in Kiki’s hair. Kiki stuck her finger in the Fudge Crunch frosting and rubbed it on Elizabeth’s forehead.
CC started laughing so hard she couldn’t stop. She also couldn’t keep herself from dipping a finger in the Pumpkin Spice frosting and spreading it on Valerie’s ear. Valerie dipped more than a few fingers in the Birthday Cake frosting and stroked down Avery’s cheek.
It went downhill from there because Avery’s frosting was black, and she spread it on every one of the other Littles until they were in a full-on frosting battle.
Red, orange, white, purple, brown, and black. It didn’t take long for every one of them to have a colorful array of frosting in their hair, on their faces, and even on their clothes.
It had been so long since CC had let loose and enjoyed herself this much that she didn’t even care what the repercussions might be. And there would definitely be repercussions.
When she chanced a glance at the doorway, she found Hunter and the others in the hallway, hands on hips, eyes narrowed. They were trying hard to look firm, but every one of them also had a slight grin.
CC wasn’t worried. Yes, they were going to get in trouble. Yes, there would be spankings all around. They would also have to clean up their mess, but this was what being Little was all about. Shenanigans and laughter. Spankings and timeouts. What good was it to be Little if they didn’t get into a heap of trouble now and then?
The Daddies didn’t say a word for a while, letting the Littles continue their fun, but eventually CC wasn’t the only one who noticed them. A hush fell in the room as all seven of them stopped laughing and sobered.
Hunter cleared his throat. “Who started this?”
CC shook her head. “It was an accident, Daddy.”
“Is that so?” Hunter asked.
CC nodded. “Yes, Sir.”
Trace stepped closer. CC thought he was the most foreboding of the Daddies since he was the police captain. “So, frosting just jumped off those cupcakes and smeared itself all over everyone by itself?”
It was Avery who giggled. “Yes, Daddy. We’re just as shocked as you are.”
Grayson, Valerie’s Daddy, rolled his eyes. “Naughty Little girls who lie and get into trouble end up with very sore bottoms.”
Valerie set her wrapper on the table. “We’re sorry, Daddy.”
Tom, Elizabeth’s Daddy, snickered. “At least we won’t have to worry about upset tummies later since none of you ate much of the frosting.”
Elizabeth glanced at the table where all seven boxes sat open with five more cupcakes in each one. “He has a point. We should probably eat another cupcake since we didn’t get much of the first one.”
Terry, Kiki’s Daddy, shook his head. “I think you should probably shut those boxes up tight instead unless you want to double your punishments.”
Kiki groaned as she closed the lid.
CC wondered if any of them would even be permitted to eat a second cupcake tomorrow, based on the looks on the Daddies’ faces. She swallowed. “We’ll clean it up.”
Hunter lifted his brows. “That’s a great place to start. Pile those boxes up on the counter, grab some cleaning supplies, and get to work on the walls, floor, table, and chairs first.”
Rose opened a cabinet. “I have washcloths. We’ll get it off our faces, hair, and clothes as best we can. Promise.” At least there was a sink in the break room.
Adam, Rose’s Daddy, sighed. “Some of you are going to have to soak your clothes when you get home so the stains don’t set in.”
“We will, Daddy,” Rose responded.
CC figured it was best if they got started, so she took the washcloths from Rose and turned toward the sink. As she wet them, she handed them out until everyone was wiping off their faces and each other’s hair and clothes.
The most unnerving part was the Daddies were whispering in a huddle in the hallway. CC didn’t think any of them were going to like whatever was being plotted for their punishment.
It took about thirty minutes to get the room cleaned up and most of the frosting off their bodies. CC was trembling as they faced the Daddies, and she swallowed hard when she saw the smirks on their faces.
Maniac spoke. “We’ve decided we’ll be in charge of the next game.”
CC pursed her lips, shocked but nervous as she looked around at her friends.
