Leaving the apartment, I hesitantly shut the front door behind me, my hand still on the knob as an uneasy feeling sits on my chest. I don’t like leaving her behind. What if she runs? I wanted her gone before, but now… I don’t. I can’t explain it. I just don’t want her to leave, not yet. What if my father knows I still have her and comes and takes her just to get at me?

Re-opening the door, I find her still standing in the kitchen. Her long blonde hair cascading down the front of the hoodie, one of her hands curling around the fabric of the sleeve, resting on her chin. I bought her, claiming her small frame. I’ve never seen someone so grateful for clothes, it made me feel good inside. My dark heart not knowing what to do with the felicitous feeling, I suddenly felt anxious and went mute.

The sun beams from the window behind her, making her look like a flower in the midst of an impersonal condo.

“Lock these doors. All of the locks,” I demand, my tone coming out harsher than I intend. She nods, those fucking green eyes making me want to stay, but my mom needs me. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

I shut the door and make haste to the elevator. It’s day time, so Jannet will be working. Great, she’s about as observant as a sloth. When the elevator opens to the main lobby, the large glass chandelier hovers over the golden shiny marble flooring. The cream-colored walls toning down the extravagant gold atmosphere, it somehow works. I find Jannet sitting behind the desk with her nose in a book, her hand reaching for a cup with a straw. She has on a tight black shirt with her hair pulled back into a dark slick braid today. She never wears the uniform that Henry does. I bet the owner of this place has their hands full with her.

“Jannet.” She either doesn’t hear me, or ignores me.

Reaching over the counter, I grasp the book and jerk it from her hands. She jumps up from her chair.

“Boy, I’ll slap the shit out of you, you do that shit again!” she sneers, her head tilted to the side just slightly. Her dark eyes looking at me like a pissed off parent and I’m one of her kids. God, I hope she doesn’t have kids. I can see her now beating their ass with one of her books for interrupting her reading.

“Pay attention. Nobody goes up to my apartment. Got it.” I hand her the book back, the cover plastered with a half-naked man.

“That’s all you had to say, damn.” She shakes her head, snatching her precious romance back. “What you got up there, a dead body or somethin’.” She holds her hand up to cut me off before I can get a word in edgewise, her eyes closed for a second. “Actually, I don’t want to know. Don’t tell me.” She sits down, readjusting herself in the chair.
