Day One - Love Bite(s)

The following is my diary entry on the day I was bitten, 27th May 2012. I didn't even know werewolves existed back then. I mean, I'd read about them in books. Fairytales, basically. Urban Fantasy is all the rage at the moment, and I was riding that wave like a super surfer. I thought being a werewolf would be so cool. 


Famous last words. 


Woops. Fang is growling. She isn't happy with me implying that being a werewolf is a bad thing. Her growls give me headaches because they're all in my head and it's how she communicates: with emotions and sensations.


So let me rephrase: Being a werewolf isn't bad, per se. Just difficult.


...


See, she agrees with me on that.


Anyway, here goes: Day One.






Dear Diary,
Dear Blog,
Dear Reader,
(posting it makes it official and public, and officially public, so this is for you and no longer just for my diary)


I have the mother of all hickeys on my cleavage. It looks like a cross between a wasp sting, a carpet burn and a bruise from being tackled by a linebacker. It stings, itches and is tender to the touch. Ouch. And Ick.


Have to ask Judy if she remembers the guy's name. So embarrassing. At least I didn't go home with him. Although doing it in the farthest, darkest corner of the parking lot of the club probably wasn't any less idiotic.


I can't believe I jumped his bones like that. 'Cause I must admit that I did the jumping. He didn't complain, of course, being a guy and all. But I initiated it. It was as if all rational thought flew right out the window. 


He did smell incredibly sexy. Mmmmh... 


Maybe I should report it to the police. I'm sure he must have slipped something in my drink to make me act so far out of character. Or maybe I was so extremely jazzed about the new job that I was on my own endorphine-high, or whatever those  happiness hormones are called. 


I hope my new violet blouse covers the hickey up enough. Don't want to start work tomorrow with an oozing, red lump on my chest, or some silly scarf to cover it, not in 90° weather. People will know what's going on and I'll be forever labeled The Easy Girl or some such crap. 


Again.


Please, God, no.
