“Yeah, shehas had it for a while now. From what Noah has told me, she is taking medication that helps, but it doesn’t take everything away,” Marco explained.
“Maybe some of the girls can go over and see if she wants to talk for a little bit. Maybe bring her out of her shell. It must be awfully lonely to be there every day, with no one else around.” Leo sighed.
None of them liked the situation. Marco knew Noah had tried to get Frankie to go out of the house, but he didn’t want to push her too much.
“I’ll talk to him about it. Maybe?—”
Screaming sounded through the computer, making Marco stand quickly. Rainey. That was Rainey’s scream. Without thinking, Marco ran toward her.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
RAINEY
“Hi?” She waved, not feeling confident at all.
Should she have gone with Daddy to his office? Was this a dumb idea?
“Sit!” Hedda raised her voice. “Sit! You can color with us! Well, we’re painting!”
Rainey slowly sat on one of the low chairs, not trusting herself to sit on the ground. She knew she wouldn’t be able to get up and wasn’t sure the other Littles would be able to help her get up. It would be embarrassing, and she didn’t want that.
All at once, everyone else took a smaller chair and sat on them.
“Oh,” she whispered.
“I was really hoping you would come. I wanted to hang out with you again,” Charlotte said.
“Thanks for the invite.”
She took a deep breath, and everyone stared at her.
“Sorry, I am just nervous.”
“No need. I’ll introduce you to everyone. They come to the club and hang out with us when they can,” Monroe explained. “You already know Charlotte, Hedda, Echo, and me. That’s Tucker, Elsha, Kyle, and Blaise.”
“We don’t come as often, but we do when we can. Elsha is talking to a Daddy, and she makes clothes for stuffies. So, if you ever need clothes, contact her. They are so cute. Kyle and Blaise flow through several different jobs and are looking for a Mommy. I’m in between jobs and am also looking for a Mommy,” Tucker said.
“You could have let us talk,” Kyle muttered.
“I know you and Blaise don’t like to talk much,” Tucker retorted. “I’m just trying to be nice.”
“Sorry.” Kyle looked down at his hands. “I’m tired. I shouldn’t have taken it out on you.”
“Another late night at the club?”
“Yes, it was exhausting.”
“Does the owner know you aren’t a Dom?”
Kyle shrugged, and Rainey looked between Kyle and Tucker. Why did it matter if Kyle was a Dom or not?
“I work as a bouncer at a club on the other side of town. Well, most of the time, I’m the bouncer, but every once in a while, I’ll work behind the bar or serve drinks to people. Absolutely exhausting.”
“You really need to tell the owner you aren’t. You keep looking more tired every time you come here,” Tucker pointed out.
“Thank you for telling me I look like shit. I really appreciate it. They don’t notice because she is too busy.”
Rainey’s eyebrows went up. The owner was a woman?
