I wake up to the sound of someone entering my condo. I know who it is, always master. Especially this time of evening, when he brings dinner for me and makes sure I actually eat it. This is the only time I eat all day, why bother? A week has gone by since the train incident. I am listless; I stay in bed for the most of the day.
He doesn't come directly to the bedroom, like he usual does. I drift back to sleep. I don't know how long it has been; master is gently shaking me awake.
"Come on Lacy, time to take a shower." He tells me, "Time for the next story you wrote."
"No!" I say.
"Lacy, you have not been out of this bed for a week; it is time to come out and start living again. I can't think of a better way to start than story four. You were so clever in the timing of your scripts; they have worked out perfect for me." He tells me.
"Fuck you; they are not scripts they are stories I wrote. They are fiction; you sick pervert. I hate you!" I say angrily.
Yes, anger is good. I need anger.
"Lacy, why are you forcing me to be a monster in this? I don't like threatening Bonne Fille, but in this case I don't think I have a choice. I am betting you won't respond well to physical punishment right this second. So we will deal with punishment for your impertinence later." He tells me.
I think this over; I don't think he would really hurt my kitten. However, I am not positive, so probably best not to continue defying him. Besides, story four is gentle, he has done a lot worse. I sigh and get out of bed.
"You have 20 minutes to shower, that should give you plenty of time." He instructs me.
He turns to head back to the kitchen; I stick my tongue out at his back. I feel a little bit better.
I get into the shower and take my time washing myself. It has, after all, been over a week since I showered. Why didn't I do this before, the warm water feels so good. I stay in the shower until the water runs cold. I put on a robe and wrap my hair in a towel.
I walk out of the bathroom, and he is there waiting. He gives me a look that says I will pay for this later.
He walks over to me, and helps dry me off. He sits me on the bed, and goes over to the chair where there is a bag. He takes something out of the bag, and comes over to me.
"Lift your arms; Lacy stand up." He tells me.
I do, and he slips on a silky black dress on me. He smooth's the dress down my body. I can't help it; my body reacts and I can feel myself getting wet.
He leads me to the dining area; there is a table set with candles and two place settings. The dishes are covered. He pulls out my chair for me, and I sit. He sits across from me, and pulls the lid of the plate. I look down. It looks like Chicken Cordon Blue, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, and a side salad. It all looks homemade.
I look at him shocked "You know how to cook?" I ask.
"Yes, Lacy. I own several restaurants. I started small and it grew." He tells me.
"Then how can be here every night?" I ask.
"That is what employees are for, Lacy." He states.
Something behind me grabs his attention, I look and Bonne Fille is playing with a toy I have never seen.
"Bribing her with catnip?" I say.
"Yup, white wine for you, cat nip for her." He says.
