Seek Pleasure

3.

Robert took my mobile phone away. He lifted me up silently and then searched my body . He put me down after he found that I didn't have any sharp weapons on me.

Then he locked the windows, took the keys, and locked the bedroom door.

I didn't even know when he had prepared the tools. After he left the bedroom, he put an extra lock on the bedroom door.

I couldn't get out or contact anyone.

On the table was the breakfast that Robert had brought in early in the morning. It was yogurt from the refrigerator and cereal on the table. He had also tried to scramble some eggs for me but failed.

Blackened eggs lay on a plate next to two slices of bread.

Robert didn't say a word but showed me with practical actions that he didn't have any malicious intentions, and that he didn't want me to die.

I leaned against the head of the bed, put my arms around my knees, and stared at the unappetizing breakfast in a daze.

I remembered the day I picked up Robert on the side of the road.
