Is it possible to have two first times? I really can't work out which was really first. Charm back home, or Rose here.
I was here for six months before I...him...we ended up having sex with Rose. The one good thing that came out of that whole curse day. There was blood, then a shower, and then she was there. I couldn't get enough of her. The sight, her scent, her taste. Shit, I remember every single bit of it.
But then I went home. Six months again, and then there was Charm. The best choice out of the lot of them. It was definitely better than taking a dip into the lake in Central Park. All I can remember is singing, soft skin and the smell of fresh clover.
And then there was Delilah. She's hot, she's strong, and she isn't about to get herself killed over me. She pretty much ordered it. In the middle of Columbia Presbyterian, on the hunt for Sawney's home, and she flat out demanded sex. The revenant feasting on one of the students kind of put a dampener on things though. Once we went back to her den though. Shit. She was about as opposite of Charm as you could get.
Why the fuck am I even talking about-
Shit!
