Chris's Rude Awakening - Chapter 1

It had been months now. Chris, like many Americans, had been laid off without a moment's notice at the start of the pandemic and had confined himself to the house. He had moved in with his girlfriend Maddy, not long before which he was super grateful for, as he wasn’t sure how long he would be able to last if he was trapped with his parents. Maddy was great, and had agreed to keep up with the bills on Chris’s behalf while he tried to get back on his feet. And while Chris had originally started out by consistently looking for jobs, ready to take anything that he could find. It didn’t take long before he was fully disheartened by the application process without ever receiving as much as a call back. It was hard being an adult, and he had quickly lost motivation in the job search, fighting against the countless others who were just as desperate for what few jobs were even hiring.

It was early morning as Chris was awoken by the sound of Maddy coming out of the bathroom. The fan was still spinning as she made no effort to conceal the loud noises of opening the closet doors and turning the lights on.

“Morning,” Chris said as he rolled over in bed to avoid the lights, pulling the covers up over his head.

Silence. The two hadn’t been getting along too well recently as being stuck at home caused a significant drag on any kind of separation, and living in a one bedroom apartment, well, more of a studio with a dividing wall from the kitchen that hid the bed, there was little room to have their own space. Of course, that's what Chris liked to think was the problem, remaining willfully ignorant to his lack of responsibility around the house.

“Morning,” Chris said a little louder as he sat up in bed, annoyed that Maddy was obviously already mad with him.

Maddy turned around with a facial expression that confirmed his suspicion. “Morning…” she let out and she rolled her eyes and went back to getting dressed. Maddy was a manager of a small design team, who had gone fully remote once the pandemic had hit which she had loved, aside from the small space and her boyfriend always seeming to somehow be in the background half naked, unaware that her video was on. Or the times when she would run meetings, and Chris would be next to her on the couch yelling at the video games, or his friends over Discord. It annoyed her, but more importantly it made her look bad. She was supposed to be a professional, and yet her video calls were so often anything but profession.

“You're mad, aren't you?” Chris said as he laid back in bed. Already wanting to go back to sleep.

“Yea Chris, I guess you could say that…” Maddy let out in a frustrated tone.

Chris scoffed, “What is it this time? What have I done so horribly wrong?” he said full of sarcasm, not helping his situation in the slightest.

“It’s the same thing as always! You never help clean, or cook. You sit around the house all day, disrupting my work and can’t even seem to contribute to any of the household work!” Maddy snapped, having repeated herself for the last time.

“Well it's not like I want to sit around the house all day and be unemployed! If you found me a job I would take it!” Chris pushed back, refusing to put all the blame on himself.

“You see, no. That's the problem Chris,” she said as she turned around, obviously over Chris’s attitude. “Everything is somehow my responsibility! It's my job to cook you a meal after you play games with your friends all day! It's my job to clean up the mess you make all day. It's my job to do your laundry! It's like you're a toddler running around the house all day!”

“Huh, it‘d probably be easier if I was,” Chris muttered under his breath, unaware that Maddy could still hear him.

“UHHH! You're so frustrating!” Maddy said as she pulled on her shirt and stormed around the corner into the living room/kitchen setup.

Chris fell back into bed. He hadn’t done anything wrong in his mind. It wasn’t his fault that he had lost his job, and he had looked for a while. There just aren't any job openings right now and there was no use in constantly looking to see if there was. He laid in bed, running through fake conversations in his head about how to make Maddy feel better. How he was right, and she just hadn’t seen it his way. He thought about what to say to get her to see it his way as he drifted off again.

-----

“UP!” Maddy yelled as she shook Chris awake.

Chris flipped over angrily, “What the hell? What?”

“Don’t you what me. Its almost fucking noon and your still asleep in bed!”

“We’ll I’m staying out of your way, aren't I?” Chris snapped back.

Maddy rolled her eyes, clearly not in the mood for this anymore. She yanked the covers off the bed revealing Chris in his underwear and pulled him off the bed.

“No, I’m done with these games. Your gonna make us some fucking lunch and clean up this fucking apartment. So put some fucking clothes on, because I’m going into a meeting and I know how much you don’t like to pay attention to where your walking during those...oh, and I don’t want to hear a goddam word until its all done! You got it!?”

Chris was frozen, they had gotten into small fights about this kind of stuff before, but it was never anything this serious.

“Yea,, bu-,” Chris started to say before Maddy cut him off.

“Nope! I said not a goddamn word. Lunch, and then clean this entire fucking apartment! That means the kitchen. That means the bathroom. That means taking out the trash, doing the laundry. I don’t want to find a single thing left to do when I get off work today, or so help me…”

Chris nodded. He figured there was no point in fighting it, or saying anything else as things would only get worse. Besides, he loved Maddy and couldn’t bear the thought of her kicking him out. He’d have to go back to living with his parents, and they weren’t any better about this kind of stuff.

Maddy left the room and went back to her desk in the living room as Chris waited for her to leave before getting dressed. He threw on some clothes before making his way into the living room to find Maddy sitting at her desk as usual, very much engaged in her meeting. She was a very social person, even before they had met. To this day Chris didn’t really know how he was able to land her. She talked with passion, and used her full body to communicate, which was probably one of the main reasons why she landed a management position. She had the ability to lead people, inspire people. She was passionate about what she did, something Chris had never been able to find.

He made his way into the kitchen, opening the fridge to try and find something to make. Part of his reason for never cooking was that he just didn’t know how. His parents were terrible cooks and had often just ordered take out each night throughout his childhood, or made soup or some oven baked lasagna. It wasn’t his fault they never taught him.

He slapped together some sandwiches with the basics, too lazy to get out the lettuce and tomatoes as he knew there were so many other chores to get done that he figured why add an additional task, or another dish to wash. He put them on a plate with some chips and set them on the coffee table as they didn’t have a dining table. There just wasn’t space for it. He ate his in silence as Maddy finished her meeting. Though Chris had finished his lunch before Maddy finished her meeting and decided to get back to chores instead of waiting for her, as there was lots to do.

Disappointed was an understatement about how Maddy had felt about the lunch he had thrown together. Maddy knew that Chris didn’t know how to cook much, but she expected better, though she wasn’t going to say anything. The day was a test in her mind, a test to see if Chris could even handle a single day of adult responsibilities. She knew in the back of her mind that he couldn’t, but part of her was okay with that. It meant that she’d be able to follow through on a plan she had been putting together for a while now. Something she had thought about doing for a long time.

The day dragged on for Chris, as each little task seemed to drag on forever. It felt like there was 50 different rooms to clean and there was no way he was going to get it all done. Slowly, he dragged on, haphazardly making his way through cleaning up the bathroom with a quick wipe down of the surfaces before moving on to the bedroom where he laid down on the bed once again. It had only been an hour but he felt exhausted. Bored more than anything. He figured he could lie down for another nap, setting an alarm for an hour, but it never went off. Mostly because Maddy had caught on and turned it off during one of her breaks, ensuring that Chris would fail at even the most simple requests she bestowed upon him, all leading up to what she wanted. For once, she was going to have some fun living in her own apartment.

Chris woke up groggily, realizing it was dark in the room. His heart started racing, he jumped for his phone to see the time. 7:03PM. “FUCK” He thought as he jumped out of bed, sure that Maddy was in the living room pissed off. But Maddy wasn’t anywhere. The apartment was empty. It was just him. He frantically made his way to the kitchen to start cleaning. Throwing dishes back in their spot as he unloaded the dishwasher, before tossing in the sink of dirty dishes, breaking a glass along the way.

“Godda-,” He started to let out, before hearing the key start to jingle in the front door. He froze, unsure of what to do, of what to say.

Maddy walked through the front door with a handful of bags and saw Chris standing over the shattered glass and just shook her head.

“Maddy, I’m sor-,” He started to say before she cut him off.

“Just...Just go watch TV or something till dinner is ready,'' she said in a disappointed tone, trying to hide the hidden levels of excitement she had. Maddy had never intended Chris to finish the day successfully, and was actually quite pleased he had continued to fail time and time again. In fact, she had counted on him to fail because it put her in a place of power, something she knew she’d need for what she had planned. Something she had been planning for awhile now, and seeing him asleep on the bed not even halfway through his chores gave her the perfect time to sneak away and get a few things she had yet to grab.

“Maddy, please, let me help,” Chris pleaded.

“I- I’ve got it Chris, can you just like...can you just give me some space?”

Chris’s spirit slumped. She was obviously disappointed, and this time she had an actual reason. One day. She had asked for one day where he didn’t slack off, and he barely even managed half of that. He fell back onto the couch and sat there as he watched Maddy unload some groceries and start a pot of water.

-----

Dinner was silent. Maddy had made one of their favorite dishes that they usually shared together, but Maddy said nothing this time. Chris pleaded and tried to apologize, but Maddy didn’t even make eye contact. She cleaned up the kitchen and put the leftovers away before finally turning to look Chris in the eyes.

“Bedroom. Now,” she said firmly.

“Maddy, I-,” he started to say.

“Bedroom. Now,” she repeated, cutting him off with a more firm tone.

Chris bowed his head and made his way around the corner to the bed. He sat down at the end, sure that a conversation he wasn’t going to like very much was coming. “This was it,” he thought. He’d have to pack his bags and beg his parents to give him his old room back.

Maddy came around the corner a few minutes later. “Strip,” she said in the same firm tone.

“Uh? Wha-”

“Strip, now!” She said, walking towards him.

Chris hesitantly did as he was told. Confused, and unsure what was happening, he started to unbutton his pants. Was he really going to be rewarded with sex? After failing to do what he was told?

Struggling, Maddy pushed him onto the bed and pulled his jeans off for him, tossing them to the ground before forcefully removing his shirt.

“Edge of the bed,” she said, tossing his shirt to the ground.

At this point Chris had started to get aroused. He was confused, but something about seeing Maddy in charge like this was exhilarating.

“Maddy I-”

Maddy didn’t wait for him to finish. She grabbed his ankles and pulled him to the edge of the bed, rolling him over on his stomach, exposing his skidmarked underwear as his cock started to stiffen.

“Can’t even wipe your own ass right,” she said in a low voice as she pulled them off as well, shaking her head in disbelief.

What came next was a shock to Chris, he had been expecting something fun and sexy, but he was met with the full force of Maddy’s hand against his ass.

*SMACK*

“Maddy, what the he-”

*SMACK*

“MADDY, STO-”

*SMACK*

Chris rolled over and grabbed her arm, “Maddy! What the fuck!”

Maddy hadn’t planned out how to put her plan in place, just that she knew something had to change. If she was going to take care of everything around the house, Chris was at least going to make it worth her while.

“You're not gonna use those words in this household, Mr,” Maddy said, staring Chris directly in the eyes before trying to roll him back over.

Chris fought back, “What the fuck? What is going on?”

Maddy stopped for a moment. She didn’t know how to explain it, but she figured that either Chris would agree to his new living situation, one that she wanted that was, or he would leave. She didn’t see any other choice in the matter. She loved Chris, but she was at a breaking point and something had to change.

“If you want to act like a baby in my apartment, you're gonna get treated like one,” she said firmly, just trying to get it out.

“Ex-Excuse me?” Chris said, looking at her shocked. “What the hell does that mean?”

“It means that whatever I say goes. If you want to act like a child, you're gonna get treated like one”.

“Maddy, I...I’m s-”

“It's Mommy, Mr”.

Chris froze. Everything was happening so fast. He’d seen memes and porn about ‘Hot Mommy Milkers’ or ‘Mommies Fuck Toy’ but he always thought those were just like, things to say that got clicks. Was this like an actual thing? Was this actually what Maddy wanted?

Maddy saw the look of confusion on Chris’s face and tried to hide a smile. She had never forcefully demanded anything before, but she liked it. Even if she had no idea what she was doing, she was going to have fun figuring it out. “Now roll over, your punishment isn’t over”.

Chris was baffled. What the hell was going on? “My punishment?” Chris said, confused as ever, still trying to process what was going on.

“For not doing your chores, Mr. Now roll over so you can get your spankings”.

Chris paused for a moment. “Maddy, Can we ta-”

“Mommy,” Maddy interjected.

“Momm- Look, can we talk about this?” Chris said, trying to figure out what was going on.

“I don’t see what there is to talk about. You don’t want to do your chores? Fine. But big kids do their chores. And last I checked, you didn’t, so you're gonna get treated like the little baby you are”.

Chris was dumbfounded. He wasn’t sure where this was going, but liked the idea of Maddy in charge and could see this being a fun role play. Besides, if a spanking was the worst that was going to happen for not doing his chores, he was along for the ride. What Chris failed to understand was that this wasn’t going to be some quick or occasional role play, and a spanking would become the least of his problems. Maddy had a whole new world that they were about to explore together, and it was certainly a world that he didn’t understand.
