Chapter 10

"Harry, come here please." Tom shouts downstairs to Harry after walking into his son's room to find it is in disarray again.

Coming up the stairs, Harry walks to his dad he sees him standing there with a stern look on his face with his arms crossed.

"Yes Dad?"

"This room is a mess. Why is it so messy? Clean it please."

"Aw but Dad, it is an organized mess." Harry answers cheekily.

"I don't care. You will clean it and watch your cheek."

"I can't as I don't have a mirror" Harry backchats. He doesn't know why he keeps sassing his dad but he is finding it fun and he is bored.

"Come here."

"Why?"

"Come here and you will see."

Harry walks closer to his dad when he is grabbed by his arm and turned sideways. Six swats fall on his jean clad bum.

"Cut the cheek and attitude and tidy your room or you can do it with a sore backside! It's your choice!"

"Ow, I'll tidy my room if it pleases you sir, anything to please you sir, your wish is my command."

"That is it! I have had it with your cheek and attitude! Come here." Tom says as he sits down on the bed.

Harry again walks to his dad's side where he is pulled over his dad's knee. Tom quickly lays ten swats to his son's bottom. He then starts to lecture him while keeping Harry on his knee so if he doesn't get the response he wants he can continue the spanking.

"You will stop this cheek and attitude now! Am I clear?"

"Yes sir, I will get a mirror to watch my cheek and drop the attitude."

SMACK

"OWWWW, DAD THAT HURT!" cries Harry now getting the message loud and clear as his Dad has picked up the ruler and smacked him with it

"It was supposed to hurt young man, now are you going to stop giving me attitude and cheek or shall I continue with the spanking?"

"No, I'll stop. I'm sorry Dad, I'll tidy my room! Please no more!"

"Right stand up, you are forgiven. Tidy your room and no more cheek or we will be right back here understand me?"

"Yes, sir."

Harry finally starts to tidy his room and put things where they are meant to go. He then goes downstairs to ask his dad if he can go out to Jess's house as he is really bored. He walks into the living room and over to his dad.

"Dad, can I go to Jess's house, please?"

"No, you have earned a night in for your cheek"

"But dad!"

"I said no and that is final you cannot expect to go out after giving me all that cheek and attitude. It is not happening young man so you can just take yourself to your room and do your homework."

Harry starts to go back upstairs to his room annoyed.

"Oh and Harry?"

"Yes?"

"If I find out you climbed out the window again to break a well-deserved grounding. I will take the belt to your backside! Am I clear?"

"Yes, sir."

Harry thought "How did he find out about that, it was weeks ago. He'd just go out the back door then! No one said anything about breaking a grounding using the back door." When his dad isn't looking Harry makes it sound like he is going upstairs then goes out the back door to Jess's house.

Two hours later

Tom is standing by the back door waiting for his son to come back. The boy must have thought he was stupid. He had already put an alarm on the door that alerted him when Harry went out the door.

Harry comes in the door and seeing his dad there he immediately knows he was caught red handed being disobedient.

"Hello Son, have fun?" Tom asks sarcastically.

"Yes."

"Hmm you know what is odd; I thought for all intents and purposes I had GROUNDED you tonight as I told you that YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO GO TO JESS'S HOUSE! What part of that didn't you understand?"

"Well you said I couldn't go out my window you said nothing about going out the door!" snapped Harry, annoyed that he is getting lectured again.

"Right, you know what? Just go to your room and stay there! DO NOT go out the window, the door or any other methods of going out of the house do you understand?"

Harry grits out a "yes sir" then goes to his room where he stays for the rest of the night. He eventually falls asleep thinking what an idiot he has been today he is going to apologies for his behaviour today to his Dad in the morning.
