I woke up the next morning to my shoulder being rocked gently. My eyes slowly opened to see Emma standing over me. "Mom..." she said in a whisper, "... are you getting up?"
I was confused, I didn't know what was happening. Groggily I sat up and realized I was still on the couch. Apparently I had slept there all night. My hair was a mess, I think I felt some dried drool on my cheek. Clearly I was extremely tired.
"Oh... uhhhh... ya... what time is it?" I asked Emma, rubbing my eyes.
"It's 8:30... we need to go, like... now," she said, still standing over me.
There was no way I was going to be ready in just a few minutes, I was hardly able to keep my eyes open. "Hey... honey... do you and Sam mind walking today? I think I might stay home, I'm not feeling up to it right now..." It was the truth. I wasn't feeling up to it. I needed some time to center myself, have a shower, get dressed, and maybe a day off was what I really needed anyway.
"Ya, no problem mom... just let me know if you need anything..." Emma said as she walked away. I grabbed my phone and texted Tina letting her know I wouldn't be in, and asking her to tell Principal Wallace as well. I laid back down on the couch again, grabbing a blanket and pulling it over myself, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep again.
A couple of hours later I finally woke up naturally. I felt a little better, a little more rested. The house was quiet and it was nice to just lounge for a bit. I grabbed the TV remote and put on some home reno show, the perfect thing to watch and turn your brain off. Soon after I got myself a cup of coffee and made some eggs, I put the blanket around me and made a nice plan to just stay in for the day and relax. No school, no students, no Tina, Jess or Emma, and hopefully no blackmailer. I tried to resist looking at my phone for as long as possible. It was a sad situation when my desire to look at my phone was so powerful that I couldn't hold out very long. The pull of social media was strong.
I grabbed my phone off my desk and was immediately scared when I saw multiple text messages waiting for me. I opened the first one.
Message (Tina): Hey, sorry you're not feeling well today. Hope you feel better soon. Let me know if you need anything.
I smiled a bit. It was nice having a friend like her. My mind flashed back to Saturday night at the club, I felt my pussy twitch. I shook my head and went back to the messages.
Message (Emma): Mom, are you doing OK? Let me know if you need anything
Message (Emma): Can you pick me up after school?
The first message warmed my heart, the second made me realize I was still her mom.
Message (Me): Ya, sure honey, I'll pick you up after school, no problem.
I scrolled down to the next message, my heart skipped a beat, I wasn't sure if it was a good skip or bad skip. The message was from the blackmailer.
Message: WHERE ARE YOU?
Message: YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST HIDE AT HOME?
Message: I CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE AWAKE
I looked up at the camera with a blank stare. To be honest I forgot all about it for awhile.
Message: NOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE PUNISHED
Message: YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THE GYM
Message: YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR YOUR VIBRATOR
Message: AND YOUR BUTT PLUG
Message: AND PACKAGE 3
Message: NO PANTIES
Message: WEAR A WHITE SPORTS BRA
Message: THAT'S IT!
Message: YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING LOVE IT YOU SLUT!
Message: HAVE FUN
The blackmailer almost seemed angry, or obsessive, it wasn't like before, they had always been in control. Did something happen? Was something going on? Were they losing control? The thought ran through my head before I saw another message pop up.
