Chapter 3

Santana was looking forward to this week all month long. Her cousins that lived in Cincinnati were coming in to visit and stay with them for Spring Break. Her Tío Miguel had a son her age and a teenage daughter and she hadn't seen them in over five months. Since her Tío had gotten divorced and moved away, she had lost her best friend, her cousin Alejandro. They did everything together and her Mamí used to watch her "twin terrors" as Maribel called them. She and Alej were only 9 days apart and they had grown up together. Santana wouldn't admit it but she really was sad without him around all the time anymore.

Santana thought her older cousin Alecía was a great big conceited pain but as long as she got to spend time with Alej she was happy and would tolerate Alecía.

Jumping up out of her seat before the Friday bell rang, the young girl ran for the bus and got in the first seat so she could be the first off the bus when it got to her stop. Her legs were bouncing up and down the entire ride home with nervous energy. As soon as the mechanical doors of the bus parted she yelled goodbye to the bus driver and ran to her house.

She burst through the door startling her Mamí and Tío who were sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee and talking, "Tío Miguel!" The little bundle of energy yelled loudly as she launched herself into her favorite uncle's arms.

"Whoa, I'm going to stay away longer if this is the reward I get when I return." He winked at his big sister as he squeezed his niece close and kissed her cheek.

"Don't you dare!" She pulled back; clearly affronted that he would suggest such a thing, "Tell him he's not allowed Mamí!" She turned to face her mother her face dark and unhappy.

Maribel laughed and pulled her daughter in for a hug and a kiss, "He's only teasing you mija, he will do no such thing!" she mock glared at her brother; she had missed him and his family as well, "Alejandro and Alecía are upstairs baby go say hi and walk up those stairs!" She yelled after the little girl who shot out of the kitchen like an arrow.

Her brother looked at her fondly, "I see nothing has changed much around here." They both laughed.

Alejandro was in the family room playing on the X-Box while his older sister was lying on the couch bored and texting on her phone.

"Alejandro!" Santana shouted as she ran into the family room more excited than she had been downstairs. She received a dirty look from her snotty cousin on the couch which she returned but the biggest surprise was Alej. He didn't even look up or seem happy to see her, he just said, "Hey Tana" in a bored voice. She was shocked and kind of hurt by his reaction.

"I'm glad to see you Alej." She said softly. He lost whatever game he was playing and looked up at Santana and smiled, showing some missing teeth in the front which nearly matched her missing teeth. She sighed in relief; it really was Alej and not some zombie fake Alej.

"I'm glad to see you too Tana, it is so damn boring in Cincinnati!" He got up and set the controller down.

Santana was shocked, you couldn't curse in her house, her Mamí heard everything and everyone knew you got your mouth washed out with soap if you cursed in Maribel Lopez' home, even Papí knew that, "Don't curse Alej, Mamí gets very upset and will punish you."

Alejandro scoffed, "Don't be a baby Tana!" Santana felt wounded again.

"We have a new tree house out back do you want to go see it?" She asked Alejandro.

He shrugged and said, "Sure why not, beats these lame video games you have. Seriously Tana, no Doom, no Grand Theft Auto not even Halo? How do you expect me to stay here all week playing baby games like Sims? It's pathetic." He griped missing the grimace of pain on his favorite cousin's face.

"The tree house is very cool you'll like it I promise." She led him out to her most prized possession in the backyard not telling him that her mother didn't allow violent games in the house.

Maribel had noticed how quiet Santana was during dinner and the movie afterwards so when she led her daughter to help get ready for bed she tucked her in sweetly and leaned over and brushed the hair off her forehead and asked gently, "What's wrong mija, it's not like you to be so quiet? Are you ok bebé? I'm worried about you tonight?"

Santana was chewing on her bottom lip in consternation, "I don't think Alejandro likes me anymore Mamí. He didn't like my video games, he thought the tree house was boring and he told me not to be a baby."

"Oh mija, he is a boy and they get older and only want to do boy things and hang out with boys. He loves you honey and he always will. I was very close to your Tío like you are with Alej but he changed just like that and look how close we are now." She said soothingly as she rubbed her warm hand up and down Santana's arm.

"I don't want to wait to be close to Alej until I'm old!" She burst out sadly, her mother smiling slightly at the slight; she remembered a time she thought 30 years old was ancient.

"Just be yourself mija and give him a chance to remember who his best friend is." She leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, "I love you honey."

"I love you too Mamí." She said softly as she rolled towards the wall and fell into a fitful sleep.

It had been a terrible week for Santana. Alecía made fun of her, her clothes, her habits everything she could at every chance she had and Alejandro while not directly making fun of her basically seemed bored around her and ignored her. They were leaving in two days and she hadn't had any fun with him at all and she was getting desperate.

He talked about his favorite video game Grand Theft Auto every chance he got and Santana wished she knew someone she could borrow it from for the next few days so Alejandro would like her again. She even went into her shoe box under her bed and counted her allowance but it didn't come close. Santana sat and thought how she could get her hands on that stupid game. She couldn't borrow the necessary money from her mother, she would want to know what it was for and that would wreck everything. She could probably get away with borrowing it from her father without questions but he was away at a medical conference this week. Suddenly she realized what she had to do. It was a matter of life and death so she would have to take the chance.

Walking downstairs with new and renewed determination, she asked her Tío Miguel if he would driver her to the mall. She was learning early that she only had to act cute and boys would do anything she wanted, even her uncle and her father. He had seemed amused but thought maybe a trip to the mall would relieve some of the tension around the house between the kids so they all jumped into the car and headed to the Lima Mall.

Santana had said she needed to grab something and she would be right back. So she ran down to the video store and looked for the GTA game her cousin talked non-stop about. It took longer for her to find it and she was getting frantic but then she saw it and without thinking, grabbed it looked around, slipped it into her skirt, pulled her shirt down over it and tried to walk out the door. She nearly had a heart attack when all the alarms started going off and an older woman grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the store.

Santana sat all alone in the cold windowless room in the back of the store. The woman had known she stole the game and Santana handed it over feeling terrible about the whole thing. Not that she was in big trouble, which she was but because she knew stealing was wrong.

She was wringing her hands together waiting for her Mamí to come pick her up at the mall. The security lady insisted on calling her and the petite brunette was as anxious as she had ever been in her life. She didn't want to face her Mamí. It seemed like it took forever for her to arrive but she finally heard the soft hum of her voice talking to the lady from the store and Santana squirmed in the hard metal chair wishing there was a place to hide.

The door opened suddenly and she was face to face with a very upset Maribel Lopez. Her Mamí walked into the room and stood in front of her daughter and put both hands on her hips and glared at her daughter. She turned to the woman and smiled, "May I speak to my daughter in private please, we have a few things to talk about."

"Of course Mrs. Lopez, we are getting ready to close and I need to go make a deposit. I will be gone about a half an hour, does that give you enough time ma'am"

Santana's brown eyes went wide as she tried to shake her head no and indicate to the woman not to leave her here alone with her mother but the woman ignored her and was only looking at her Mamí!

She watched the woman leave and shut the door to the back room and she turned to look at her daughter and Santana felt like the room got colder all of a sudden, "Santana Bianca Lopez. Why did you steal this game and you had better not lie to me little girl, you are already getting a spanking. You don't want to make it worse by lying!" She finished sternly with both hands firmly planted on her hips.

Santana opened her mouth to answer but she was having trouble forming words. She wasn't afraid of her mother but she knew she was in trouble. Her mother had threatened to spank her before but other than a swat or two she had never been spanked.

"Santana did Alejandro ask you to steal this disgusting game for him?" She tried another question. She watched as her daughter sadly shook her head no.

"So this was your idea to steal this game?"

"Yes Mamí." The little girl squeaked out finally looking at her mother's shoes and not her eyes. She looked so disappointed the little girl felt guilty and sick.

"I'm very sorry to hear that. You did it for Alejandro though because he has not been playing with you this week?" Maribel came closer and bent down in front of her guilt stricken daughter.

Santana shook her head yes and Maribel sighed. She didn't want to spank the sad little girl but stealing was wrong and she needed to learn that.

She helped Santana stand up and sat down herself on the metal chair. She guided her daughter over her lap before speaking, "I wish you had talked to me instead of stealing mija. It is very wrong to take something that doesn't belong to you. I'm sorry that Alejandro has hurt your feelings but it does not justify stealing."

She reached over and flipped the little girls skirt up exposing her lace frilled white panties and started to hand spank her daughter right there in the back of the store. Right from the beginning it stung and was embarrassing and Santana couldn't help the tears that leaked from her eyes. She didn't know what to expect. Her mother stopped and Santana was so relieved that it was over. That had only made her rear warm and stung it wasn't horrible at all. Her mother reached up and hooked her fingers into her panties and pulled them down to her knees and let loose with the real spanking and the little girl squealed in surprise and pain and realized now what all the fuss about spanking was about. It really hurt.

She squirmed around trying to escape her Mamí's hard punishing hand but it was to no avail, her mother had her firmly around the waist and the girl was locked in place. She begged her Mamí to stop, "Please Mamí, it hurts I'm sorry I will never steal again, ow ow ow it really hurts, I'm sorry." She cried.

"I know it hurts mija but stealing is wrong and you need to understand what happens to naughty little girls who steal. It is a punishment Santana it's supposed to hurt now stop wiggling around."

Santana stopped wiggling after a sharp smack on the back of her thigh and wailed out loud and started to kick. This spanking business was for the birds. Her mother stopped again and Santana was more embarrassed and her pride injured than in any real pain but she saw her Mamí slip off her leather flat shoe, she got very nervous.

"Mamí please no more, really I'm sorry, so so sorry, I've learned my lesson and you'll never have to spank me again I promise!" she yelled sharply as the first strike of the leather flat smacked her bright pink sore backside. Maribel kept up a punishing rhythm with the leather sole of her shoe as the sound of leather smacking her daughter's bare backside echoed around the room followed closely by Santana's gasping cries and begging.

She stopped and slipped her shoe back on when she could tell the girl was clearly sorry and had given up fighting. Rubbing her back and her sore cherry red bottom with her hand she made soothing murmuring sounds until Santana stopped sobbing.

Maribel stood her up and slipped up her panties, "You will go out and apologize to the lady who runs the store and then tomorrow you will go to confession and talk to Father Brennan. When we get home tonight you are to go right to your room and get in your pajamas. You will be having an early bedtime this evening. I am very disappointed mija. Alejandro is family and he will always love you but you cannot take something just because you want it. You must work hard for things and earn them. I had better never hear you've ever thought about stealing ever again am I clear young lady?"

She threw herself into her mother's arms and hugged her tightly and sobbed, "I won't Mamí, I won't ever steal again."

It was a few hours later and she was lying in bed in her dark room on her belly crying softly. She heard her door open softly and thought it was her mother coming to check on her. She was beyond surprised when she turned her head and saw her two cousins in the room.

Alejandro came over and knelt by the bed, "You really got it good huh Tana?" She sniffed loudly and nodded. She was sure that she had sealed her fate and he would think she was a baby forever for getting spanked.

Alecía came over and laid next to her on the bed and took her gently in her arms and held her close, "I guess I can't call you a baby anymore huh Tana, that was pretty badass!"

Alej agreed, "I can't believe you did that for me, thanks Tana! I'm sorry you got spanked though! Me and Alecía hate getting spanked, don't we Alecía?"

The older girl grimaced and nodded her agreement.

Santana just smiled and burrowed into her cousin's body feeling loved again. She would never steal again but at least everything was back to being normal again.
