My name is Jim. Joe and I have been best friends since the first grade. Being an only child, my house can be a little boring. It seems like I am as much a part of Joe's family as my own. Joe has just one sister, (Kim) a really cute and fun girl, three years younger than us. His parents love having kids around so everyone feels welcome there. We both made it all the way to eagle scout, got very good grades, and finished near the top of our high school class. After High School, Joe went to State College about 100 miles from home while I went to the local community college and worked at my uncles' movie theater on weekends. As our freshman year went on, Joe began to spend most weekends at college. I was close to his parents as well as his sister Kim and continued to spend some time at their house almost every week.
Kim had been joking with me for years that she expected I would have a job for her at the theater, once she turned 16. I never thought much of it. I had noticed over the last couple of years that Kim had matured and become a beautiful young lady. I recently dropped over to their house and as it happened, Kim was the only one home. She told me to come in as she really wanted to talk to me. I had a good relationship with her, so this was not unusual.
After a few pleasantries, she said, "Now Jim, you know that I had my 16th birthday more than a month ago, so when can I come to work for you at the theater?"
"Wow Kim, I always thought you were joking about that, do you really want to work there?"
"Sure, why not, It seems like a great place to work and I know you would be a good boss to have."
"Okay Kim, I'll look at the schedule for next week, I'm sure we can get you a few hours to start and see how you like it there."
I had Kim come over to do some training the following Thursday, normally a quiet night. She seemed to catch on fast and the other girls all got along with her, so she began working, for real, that weekend. The first month for any employee is a trial period and I have them come in for a review once that period is up. Kim set up an appointment with me right after school the following Tuesday afternoon.
She showed up right on time. I was surprised that she seemed a little nervous about our meeting. I asked if everything was alright and she said, "I guess so."
I told her that she seemed a little nervous and that I did not know why because I thought she was doing a really good job. I asked if she was enjoying working there so far.
"I really like it a lot Jimmy, I just was not so sure that you thought I was doing my job well enough."
I said, "Kim, you are not only doing the job well enough, but you are also one of our very best workers. In fact, I plan to give you a .25 cent raise and add more hours if you would like."
She really lit up a big smile and said, "Wow, that is so great, I can't tell you how relieved I am. I'm just not sure that I deserve it and I don't want you to do anything for me just because my brother is your best friend."
"Not at all Kim, you really are doing a great job, what is it that has you so worried?"
"Well, I know that on a few nights my cash drawer did not check out correctly."
"Kim, most nights you were right on and the very few times you were off, they were small errors. All of the girls have that happen when they start. Most of them are off by a lot more than you ever were. It's only when errors continue to happen that we ever have a problem. That will never happen to you because you are so conscientious."
"I am glad you think so, I only wish I were so certain. I know that I was really trying especially the second time that I was off. It just bothers me that I could make a mistake even when I thought I was paying attention."
"Kim, you seem much too upset about this. You're just fine. Maybe you could learn to focus a little better, but I'm sure that will come with time. If you need me to help you, I'll do anything I can."
"Jimmy," she said quickly, "Do you want to spank me?"
"Kimmy Kimmy Kimmy, what would make you say something like that?"
"Well, I was talking to one of the other girls who has been here for a long time. I told her how upset I was about not checking out correctly. She told me that she once felt that way and that you helped her out. I asked her how and she told me it was kind of private but that you were so great and understanding and fair, it just made her want to do the best job ever."
"I tried to get her to tell me how you helped her but she would not say anything. I asked one of the other girls if she knew what you did and she told me that she heard that you had given the other girl a spanking a couple of times. I don't even know if that is true, but if it is, I want you to know that if I need to be punished, I trust you and whatever would help me learn to focus better, is what I want."
"Kimmy, we are long time family friends and your brother is my best friend, I could never do anything like that to you. You are a really pretty girl and you really have not done anything to warrant a punishment anyway."
"Jim, I really like and trust you. I do not want you to treat me any differently than the other girls. What happens here is between you and me, no one else will ever know. If there is any chance that a spanking would help me, and I think there is, I would like for you to be the one to punish me."
"Kim, I think that you at least need to think about this some more. I would never want you to have any regrets."
"No Jimmy, I have already thought about it, I have thought about it quite a bit. I don't need more time. I know it's the right thing to do. No one has ever spanked me before. I know that it will help me and there is no one I could trust as I do you, to give me the kind of spanking that we both know I need."
"Kimmy, I am not just a boss and a friend, I'm a guy. As a guy, I see you as a really pretty girl. If we do this, the guy part of me might be enjoying it more than I should, you need to know that."
