She needed some clothes, and other shit to wash up with, so after I fed her, I would go to the store to get some stuff for her. I didn’t know what she liked, but I would get a bunch of shit.

Once I got myself together, I went down to the kitchen to fix her something to eat. A sandwich and some chips would suffice for the moment. I needed to grab some food while I was out as well.

After I made her lunch, I went back upstairs. I heard her whispering when I got to the door, but I couldn’t hear what she said. It reminded me that she still had her cell phone. I’d forgotten about it since she said it died.

She jumped when I opened the door.

“Who were you talking to?”

“Nobody, asshole. My phone is dead, remember?”

I felt my dick stir. I didn’t hit women, but any other woman who talked to me like that would have been shaken up a bit and tossed on the street. A nigga damn sure couldn’t talk to me the way she had been, or my blade would have sliced their neck.

“Watch ya mouth, baby girl. Hand me your phone.” I stuck my hand out, and her eyes bucked.

“No,” she said defiantly.

I put the plate of food on the bed, and she glanced down at it. I closed the space between us. “Pepper, give me your phone, and I won’t repeat myself.”

I could tell she wanted to keep up her bravado, but she wasn’t confident enough that I wouldn’t do something to her.

She hesitated for a second but reached into her back pocket and pulled her phone out. She slammed it into my open palm. “Happy now, jerk.” She sucked her teeth and sat on the bed.

“You know, I had the idea of at least getting you some clothes and shit so you can wash yourself up, but I think I’m going to let you suffer a little bit longer.”

Without another word, I left the room. I was nice enough to leave the food for her, and I hoped she ate. I went back into my bedroom and turned the camera on to see what she was doing.

She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the plate. She chewed on her bottom lip, probably trying to decide if she should eat it or not.

After a few minutes passed, she picked the sandwich up and took a bite. I watched her eat for a couple of minutes before turning the camera off and leaving my room.

I was talking cash shit when I told her I was going to make her suffer longer, but I wasn’t. Since I knew she at least ate the food I gave her, I grabbed the keys to my G-wagon and left the house.

I spent way too much time and money buying shit for Pepper Ann. I didn’t know how long I would keep her for, but she had enough stuff to last. I’d gotten her different types of pajamas I wanted to see her in and some toiletries. I should have asked my mother what kind of stuff to buy, but then she would have asked me questions that I didn’t have the answers to yet. My mother knew I wasn’t shit half the time when it came to women, so she would be skeptical as hell, and I wasn’t ready to address whatever this was between Pepper and me.

When I got in the house, I grabbed all of the bags and placed them in the other room I planned on moving Pepper to. After ensuring the room was good, I walked down the hall to Pepper’s room. She jumped up when I opened the door.

“Oh, you’re back,” she said sarcastically.

“Let’s go.” I wasn’t going to feed into her shit at the moment.

Her eyes lit up. “You’re letting me go?”

I hated crushing the hopeful look on her face, but I had to. I didn’t want to think about letting her go.

“Picture that. I’m trying to extend an olive branch here. I know this room isn’t ideal, so I’m moving you to another one. Now, let’s go before I change my mind.”

“It would be better if you let me go.” She mumbled under her breath as she walked past me.

When we got into the hallway, she looked down the hall, then back at me like she was contemplating escaping.

I grabbed her arm. “Don’t even think about it, sweetheart.”

She rolled her eyes but didn’t say anything.

I locked the door and escorted her down the hall. When I opened the door, she hesitated before going on.

“What’s all this?” She looked at the bags on the bed, then back at me.
