“The Keurig is right there, and the pods are next to it. Help yourself.”
“And the cups?”
“In the cabinet above.”
She walked over to the cabinet, made a cup of coffee, and began to walk out of the kitchen.
“Where do you think you’re going?” I asked.
“Upstairs to the lovely room you provided for me last night. You know. The same one where you’re holding me prisoner.”
“I told you to sit down.” I cracked the eggs in a bowl.
“I don’t care what you told me. I don’t want to sit anywhere near you.”
She was testing me. Seeing how far she could push me. Playing me.
“I said sit down!” I spoke in an authoritative tone. “We have some things to discuss.”
“Like you letting me go home?”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that just yet. Not until your debt to me is paid off.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” she snapped. “You can’t hold me here against my will. In case you didn’t know, Gabe, that’s called kidnapping.”
My blood started to boil at the fact that she once again called me Gabe. I hated that name and I wouldn’t stand for her calling me that.
“It’s Gabriel for the last time!” I shouted.
She snickered. “Someone has a deep-rooted issue.”
I inhaled a sharp breath.
“The omelets are almost ready. Please sit down.”

“What? No toast to go with this fine omelet?” I asked.
“Do you want toast?” He cocked his head at me.
“Yes.” I smiled.
He huffed and took the bread from the cabinet and placed it in the toaster that sat on the white and black specked granite countertop.
“What do you like on your toast?” he asked.
“Nutella.”
He sighed. “I don’t have any Nutella. What else?”
“I only like Nutella.”
“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, sweetheart. I have peanut butter, jelly, or butter. Take your pick,” he spoke in an irritated tone.
