no sex at all. None. He better keep his hands and all the rest of his body parts to himself.
    “Where did you go?” His voice broke into my thoughts. “I had to check your cell phone. People are calling and texting you like crazy.”
    “People?”
    “Your mother, your brother, Toya and Jack of course.”
    I felt the tears coming. I told him my family is going to be worried about me. Why was I going to cry? I let a lot of people down. But I didn’t even do anything. It’s not even my fault. It’s Mason’s fault. He did this bogus shit.
    “How could you do this?”
    He shrugged. “Easy, fuck Jack?”
    “How could you do this to me?”
    “Fuck you, I told you I would never let you go.”
    “Fuck me. Fuck me. Really, f uck me, Mason.”
    “Yes princess, fuck you.” His face gave nothing away.
    “This is how you love?”
    He shrugged again. “Listen, I texted Jack from your phone. I told him sorry but I can’t do this. Well you texted him saying you were sorry and you can’t do this. Blah blah blah, We’re moving too fast. I need time to think.”
    “Bastard.”
    “I could’ve crushed him. I could have ripped him to shreds.”
    “So what am I supposed to do, thank you for having a bit of compassion.”
    “ I texted your mother a few times reassuring her that you were fine but that you needed some time. I pretended I was you. It was easy enough.”
    “Did she believe you, me whatever?”
    “Yes, she said that Trey is fine. I know you very well. I can text like you. I handled it.”
    “What do you want, a thank you?”
    “No I’m just trying to put your mind at ease.” Mason looked down at my leg as it slipped out of the blanket. I quickly covered it and drew my knees to my chest.
    “Well you didn’ t put my mind at ease.”  
    “ I hid your car. I removed the tracking from your phone. I have you handcuffed to a bed at an undisclosed location.” He almost seemed proud of his transgressions.
    “So you moved me from your new place.” I was digging for info on my whereabouts. I didn’t think I was at his new construction office.
    “Yeah, you’re somewhere else. I knew someone might look for you there. That’s an obvious place.”
    “ You’re an asshole.”
    “Yeah but you should try to be nice to me. I could wash your filthy mouth out with soap. I have total control over you.”
    “How can you control me when you can’t even control yourself?”
    “Good point but it doesn’t matter what you say. I’m going to do what I want to do. Listen sweetheart, I want to keep you right here where I can watch you.”
    Watch me like a hawk watches a chicken. “You are an asshole.”
    “You said that already.” Mason exhaled like he was exhausted with my words. “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life.”
    This is no time for jokes. “Could you at least remove the cuff?”
    “No, can’t do that.”
    “Why not?”
    “Because I don’t want to.” Well damn.
    “I promise I will be very very nice.”
    “I don’t believe you.”
    “I’m not the liar in this room.”
    “Watch your mouth. I got something I could stuff in there to shut you up.”
    I rolled my eyes but I shut my mouth. I was so tired for some reason. What the hell did he give me to knock me out? 
    “You drugged me with something?”
    “Yeah.”
    “What the fuck was it?”
    “Love potion number nine.”
    “This shit ‘aint funny. This ‘aint no fuckin’ joke.”
    “Uh-oh, you getting extra black on me. ” Mason ducked and threw up the sign of the cross with both his pointer fingers. “Don’t hit me with your Ebonics. I may need a translator.”
    “Ohhhh, I can’t stand yo’ muthafuckin’ ass.”
    “I love yo’ muthafuckin’ ass.” Mason was mocking my urban accent. He was good at it. He sounds like my ignorant ass cousin Pookey. He thinks he’s so clever and cute. He ruined my life. Damn I was being dramatic. I lost my fiancée but my life isn’t over. I might as well accept my part
