I had a rather unsettling dream involving Raul. I’m going to blame Danielle on this one, for telling me….things. I’m not going to tell her, obviously.
Usual routine this morning, then off to my storage unit before my lunch date to get bookshelves and my esoteric books out. My goal is to cover one wall of my room with bookshelves. Danielle helps me out, then goes for a jog when we get back. I spend time getting ready for my date, and when it’s time, Donnie picks me up in a nice classic car, and we go to a pretty nice, decent place. Over the course of our meal, we discuss what kind of people we are, what we like, how Scott might do on his other interviews, etc.
After lunch we head down by the lake to take a walk, mostly in silence, but it’s a comfortable one. Along the way, we run into Mark and Bernie, the couple I’m to marry soon. By the time Donnie drops me off, Scott is back, and we go over how his interviews went, and he asks how my date went. He then offers to help me assemble my bookshelves, and once that’s done Danielle is home with groceries. We help her bring them in and put them away, when I get a phone notification for email. It’s a response from the photographer, willing to meet later that night at a restaurant.
To make a busier day busier, the phone rings at that time, and it’s one of Madeline’s ghouls asking for the Head of Household. I assume that duty for the time being, and take the message down, promptly handing it over to Scott. Danielle returns from her shower, asks about interviews and the date, then helps me get books on my shelves. Once that’s done, I ask Scott to show me video games, as I am trying to take Donovan’s advice to heart and learn some new hobbies. Really, I’m a boring person if you think about it.
I’m doing decent at Call of Duty (apparently), when Lovecraft decides that’s when he wants loving and I lose. Danielle has an idea, so I run her by the craft store to get a sewing machine and supplies to craft Lovecraft a uniform for the Iron Kitty Squadron as mascot. When time to meet the photographer rolls around, I dress a little seductively and take Danielle with me to help keep an eye on things. Arrive, only to discover that Jeffrey Barnes is actually Bernie. He and I talk for a while, and he’s more than happy to do my cover shoot for my book, tries to talk me into nude modeling, and promises to get rid of the incriminating photos.
Once I am back home, Donovan talks to us about being ghouls, as our next feeding (as it were) is approaching. He reminds us that we can go back, but he would probably have to kill us because we know too much. He asks what we want out of being a ghoul: Danielle wants to know if he is feeding her, Scott wants things to continue as they are (though he does blurt out and ask if he can play double agent for Madeline, as she was wanting to know things about Donovan, like what was in the basement – this obviously causes Donovan some worry and stress.), and I want to learn more of the occult.
After our talk (where he also had asked us what we thought of Danielle and how she was doing), he takes us to the small new age and occult shop where he gets his books. I’m in heaven, and buy several books I don’t have, on subjects that I think might be useful to Donovan. Scott buys a lot of incense, and I learn that the shop owner is a fan of mine, so I autograph the books of mine that he has.
Shortly after coming home, there is a knock on the door – Ben is here for his weekly meeting with Donovan. They go to the basement to talk, and when he comes back upstairs he mentions that he hasn’t forgotten about me. I blush and look away, back into my book that I’m reading (I really wish I’d quit getting so red in the face when Ben is brought up). He talks to Donovan more, then comes to collect me, and we head to my room. Disturbingly, I almost call him Master. Almost. After some glorious sex, he redresses and leaves, saying he’ll see me next week.
While I’m laying there, there is a knock at my door. I groan inwardly, but before I can respond the door opens, letting in a Danielle, who closes it behind her. She comments on how she can smell him everywhere, then lies down, and proceeds to lick me clean.
…..
I haven’t been pleased by a woman in a very long time, and I don’t know what to make of Danielle doing it. I’m very confused right now. I don’t think I’ll bring it up though unless she does.
