" Tesla!" I jumped and my head snapped towards the door. The same girl from yesterday came in and sat an outfit on the bed.
" Stephon needs you cleaned up. I brought clothes just for you to change into." She referred to the sweatpants and Tshirt. " But that-" she pointed to the hanging on the door," is for tonight. There's an event and Stephon will be escorting you."
I nodded.
" Thank you....."
" Oh, Bryant. Bryant Lashae. " she extended her hand to me. I returned the gesture.
" Is this his house?"
She nodded her head.
" Go get in the tub and I'll answer your questions afterwards. He's expecting you soon."
I slowly stood from the bed and went to the bathroom. I ran a warm bath. I added some lavender bubbles I found under the sink. Just happens to be my favorite. My body needed it. I grabbed a loofa out the pack and the shower gel.
I stayed in at least for 45 minutes. I washed up and stepped out. I got dressed and put my clothes on.
Bryant sat on my bed and waited for me to come out.
" Is it time?"
She nodded and led the way.
My body didn't hurt as bad, so I was able to keep up. This house was amazing.
She stopped by the same office and stood there.
" Just knock before you go in."
I nodded. " Thank you Bryant."
She nodded and turned on her heels to walk away.
She stopped mid-track and turned towards me. " Oh and one thing I learned from being here... Just do as they say... Please. I'll see you at the event. We can chat then." With that, she kept walking.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. A large man opened it, and looked me up and down.
" Who you?" He said with a nasty attitude.
" Who the fuck is you?" I snapped back.
" Let her in." I heard Stephon mumble with a chuckle.
The large man huffed and stepped away from the door. I pushed it open and made sure I bumped him on my way in. He wasn't effected by it, but it was worth a shot.
I took a seat in the only available seat, which was at the end of the table.
There were four men plus Stephon seated.
" Y'all can leave. " he said to them.
I watched as they all filed out.
