Ric’s a little kinkier than I thought he was. He actually pinned me to the wall today. Right. I hear you say. Nothing new there. Well you’re wrong. There was something very new there. He pinned my hand to the wall with his blade. He drove the thing right through my palm. It hurt too but I didn’t let that show. It was my fault, really. I knew stroking his neck freaked him out, but it freaks him out in a good way. At least I think it does. The fact that he was kissing me kinda solidifies that point for me. He said I startled him. That’s a load of bull and we both know it. Not to mention he ran off again, after all that. He returned of course, he always does. He looked me over, criticised my bandaging – which I did with my off hand – told me I needed to work on my survival skills, you know, the usual. Cos yeah, it was my fault he stabbed me through the hand. I’m not complaining. I’m not. It was all pretty hot actually. Ric’s not exactly gentle. He kinda threatened me when I told him I wasn’t gonna stop doing that thing. I mean if he really wanted me to stop, he’d say it, like outright say the words; “Stop it, I don’t like it.” Which he hasn’t. And anything that makes him uncomfortable is usually a good thing. Well with us that is. So, I told him that. After that he sliced and diced what I was wearing and well, you can guess the rest. So I’m pretty sure I’m right. He likes it.
I think the only part of all that, that sucked, was the fact that I had to miss band practice. **** knows what I’d of done if we had a gig. I’ve asked Ric not to stab me in the hand, throat or face, you know, the places where it shows and the tools of my trade. Considering pretty much everything I do involves me being skilled with my hands, this forced downtime kinda sucks. But since Ric’s my boss, he can’t exactly moan if I get behind with my projects.
Oh and he’s an arse. I know, you can’t even muster surprise at that comment. I’ve just gotten through gushing about him again but yeah. He is what he is and I love it for it and all, but he’s being an arse to Ali now. He disowned her or something. She has a childe/boyfriend and he’s not happy about it. I’m not sure what bugs him more, the fact that his baby sister is dating or that she’s dating her childe but it’s all whatever if you ask me. It’s not up to him who she dates. It’s up to him to be there for her whether it goes wrong or not. I’d tell him as much but he hasn’t even told me about any of this. If and when he does I’ll get involved. Until then I’ll just make sure Ali’s good. I’m sure he’ll come around. Well, I’m not a hundred percent sure he will but I kinda hope/ think it.

Met Beverly today. Kinda like the girl. I was ready with a blade for her, just like I said I would be. I gave her one of the family stock, cos well… I kinda want this thing to like me. She’s polite enough and I kinda owed her. Apparently she was sired because of that argument Ricky and I had about souls. Happened the night he ran out on me. Pretty sure I’ve told you that before. But that’s odd right? That he runs out on me and then gets annoyed that I’m at Dillon’s place. Annoyed enough to dredge up something I said back when we first met and go kill someone for it. I’ve never seen him get jealous or anything over me but that almost seems like jealous behaviour… right… like spiteful somehow. Poor Beverly. Ric botched it too. At least I think he did. He could have gone about his experiment more scientifically. The woman would still have died, but at least then he’d of had a definitive answer. If that’s even possible.
Oh and Ric knows that I know about his argument with Ali now. She needed help, so I emailed him and told him that didn’t care what was going on between them and that I wanted him to help her. She got caught in the sun or something and so couldn’t feed. I knew Ric could help her. I just had to hope that I was right and that he hadn’t actually disowned her; which I was, because he did go help her. He’s a good boy really. You gotta love that about him. He seems like the loyal type. I mean it’s difficult as **** getting into his circle, but once you’re there he really does kinda care for you in his own way.

We’ve come back around to it diary. He really wants me to wear scrubs 24/7 if we’re alone. Only this time he’s taken a new angle on it, since he’s my boss. He says scrubs should be my uniform. I guess I have to kinda give in at this point. I’m going to email him in a bit and suggest a trial period. So long as the novelty doesn’t wear off after a few weeks, I’ll consider making it an official part of my work routine. Not that I have much of a work routine but I guess that would help me separate my work and home life considering everything I do for Happy Tree I do at home, since that pretty much is the base of operations for the business and all. Guess we’ll watch this space and see what happens.

And we’re back to adorable. He came home today and I told him to show me how much cares and beckoned to him. Ric being Ric didn’t understand and so disappeared, only to return with a few sapphires for me. Granted, that’s kinda sweet, but he honestly thought that I wanted him to give me a gift. I explained that, that wasn’t what I meant and that I wanted him to be affectionate. You know, like on his own terms. Once again, he misunderstood – so I must have done a **** job at explaining – and well he basically demanded… well it doesn’t matter what he demanded or how crude the request was; fact is I didn’t exactly help matters by actually doing what he asked. What can I say. I’m weak. He’s still pretty new to all this and if he wants me on my knees, I’ll damn well do it. No way I’m missing out on that kind of opportunity. I did explain again though what I meant, and I think I got through to him that last time cos when I was through with him, it was apparently my turn. And yes. I’m sparing you the gory details. All in all though, I don’t think that was such a bad misunderstanding for either of us.

So… strange thing happened today. Apparently Ric’s uninvited his thing from our place. So it’s like officially our place now. Which I’m super excited about. I just don’t understand why he chose to do it now. I mean she’s been quiet for a while, I haven’t seen her in ages. If it’s still bugging me tomorrow I’m gonna ask.
Went to an auction today. Ric’s faction thingy threw one. Ali was there too, and both of Ric’s things. The more I see of Beverly the more I like her, but she really doesn’t seem to like Ricky much. I can’t work out if that’s because she’s into women and Ric is like alpha male material or if she just despises him cos he’s an arse? You know what. Who cares. She’ll either come around or she won’t. At least she has manners which is more than can be said for the other one. Oh and Ali and Ric were snipping at one another constantly. I guess it’s a step in the right direction in some ways as they are at least talking, kinda. Oh! Oh! Ricky bought me a necklace. I didn’t think he was the kinda guy that bought his gal jewellery, mainly cos he’s not the type to keep a gal around but he did and he is, so yeah. I’m super happy. I did though kinda spend a little too much money myself though, and on him no less. Well kinda on us but the apartment isn’t in my name, so technically it’s him. He seemed interested in having the apartment decorated – so maybe he is more thinking of the place as ours – but anyways he lost that bid. Later, when he was distracted by god only knows what, another decorator threw their services out there. So I bid. I didn’t win but I was offered her services afterwards and I accepted. I told Ric I paid more than he was worth but the sad truth is, I’d of drained all of my savings for that if I thought it would make him happy. Yes. I know. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with me. Maybe I need to spend some more time with the guys? See if I can right myself.

I asked. It was still nagging at me today. Apparently he’s tired of her bitching. I can understand that, she is pretty bitchy. With me at least. She seems to get on fine with Beverly. Which only goes to prove what I told Ric, she hates me cos she wants to **** him herself. Oh well, her issue, not mine. I can’t help it if he doesn’t believe in people dating within the family, or that he didn’t date till he met me.

It was that time again today. Time to do a hospital run and pick up some more scrubs. Between what that boy ruins, and what I have in the laundry, it was kind of a necessary field trip. That wasn’t all I did today though. I spent a few hours in Ellie’s studio with Dillon. Dillon loves it there and I have kinda been neglecting him recently. I’d love to have the whole band over but then I’d have the issue of explaining my friends out in the corridor, that’s if I can make it through the sewers without getting attacked. I should book some studio time for us all. I mean messing around with the music is fun when it’s just Dillon and me, even if we still argue like cat and dog over our sound, but nothing beats actually laying down some tracks and hearing the finished version. Still the guys will get a kick out of some of the material Dillon and I came up with.

Better weapons sell more readily. I shouldn’t be surprised but I can go weeks without a single sale. So I changed up some of the stock. The better weapons seem to be the only ones that sell these days, if they sell at all, so I should probably consider specialising in high end items. I think the prices are pretty reasonable myself. But maybe I’m biased. Considering it can take me a week or two to source the parts for some of my better pieces. God it takes a month or two for my really high quality pieces, but then I don’t tend to sell those at auction. I might look into doing a private sale or something; if the family don’t claim them first that is.
((Also on this page: A sketch of the two best pieces she currently has in stock; one is a mace, the other is a long-sword. The sword is obviously her favourite of the two as she’s drawn it in colour, whereas the mace is a simple monotone pencil sketch.))

I knew this whole not liking sex thing was a lie. I mean I told him ages ago that I thought he just hadn’t found the right partner and now I’m more convinced of it than ever. Good job I don’t mind it rough, cos that boy ain’t all that gentle. I mean he can be. And I could probably soften him up a little if I wanted to but I kinda like it a bit rawr. It’s very much our style. But again. I’m not going to start giving you details diary. For one it might make you blush and for the other I just don’t think I want to share. I know right! Me not wanting to share. But what Ric and I have is kinda what we have and as much as I do overshare, a blow by blow account of what we do and like is never going to be something I divulge. Not unless I’m really, really drunk, because well… then… I can never say never.
Side note: I wonder if he reads that book I got I got him for Valentines? I know I do.

Played a party tonight. Not sure it went as well as I’d of liked. I mean yeah. They liked our music and **** but I swear Dillon was off at times. That’s not like him. He’s being kinda moody too. It’s getting annoying. I mean he’s still helping me and stuff but I dunno. Something’s up. His head really wasn’t in the music. I’d say he found my diary or something and read what I wrote yesterday but he doesn’t even know where I live, so that can’t be it. Though maybe that’s what’s pissing him off. We don’t really do secrets and I guess I’m kinda keeping Ric and me away from him. I thought that would be easier for all involved but I dunno… maybe I was wrong?
