Chapter 3 - Gen 12 - Wesley

I am really getting into fishing and want to grow some bait for catching fish - so where do I start??  Firstly I need to learn the gardening skill to be able to grow something as for learning which bait is for wish fish that will have to wait until I have enough money to buy some books.  Onto learning the gardening skill so its a trip to the library for me.


Being so engrossed in reading, I forgot the time, my first day at work and I was late - 
very late - not a very good start was it!!!


Today I earnt $126 - well I am not going to get rich quick at this rate!!!
I probably had enough to pay the bills and a little left over.
When I got home I planted a few seeds to start off my new gardening adventure.


"EEEEWWWWW  I wish someone had warned me human food goes bad!!"


The next few days passed quite quickly, I was enjoying my job and had already earned a promotion to Roadie which earned me a bonus of $252 as well as a pay rise, and even though there was quite a long list of things that I wanted and needed the first thing I bought was an easel.  Quite a useful thing really as I would be able to earn a little extra money from selling my paintings.  I think this was the first time I actually realised I could no longer see in the dark - trying to paint late at night after the sun had gone down I was struggling to see what I was doing, there are a lot more differences between being  a vampire and being human than I realised.


That view is enough to inspire anyone to paint - not that I can actually see any more to paint.


You don't need light to play the guitar - and I really needed to improve on my guitar skill I was two levels behind what I needed for my job.


Not that I am getting sick of salad but I thought it was maybe time I improved my cooking and learnt a new recipe something I could cook. so I ventured off down to the library to do a bit of reading to help improve my cooking skill.


Then after improving my cooking skill and learnt how to cook gloopy something ?? - I still went home and ate left over salad - I really wish I could afford a better fridge - this salad just tastes like the inside of the fridge!!!


I finished my first painting and am ashamed to say it earned me $2!!
Don't laugh - I am trying - I just haven't got the hang of being a slow human yet!!
Maybe my second painting might earn me more - but by the way it is looking - I am not counting on it but you never know - didn't Lowery make his fortune painting matchstick people, cats and dogs!! 


mmmm Painting finished  and sold $19 - I guess you can safely say I won't be making my fortune with matchstick paintings!!  And just to dampen the mood a little, the toilet goes and breaks on me.


AAAAAWWWWWWWWW
Unclogging the toilet is not a fun way to spend the evening I can tell you!!


As I had reached level 5 of my guitar skill I decided to go and earn some money playing for tips.  I didn't do too badly I earned £179 from playing my guitar.
The only problem was, all of a sudden I spotted someone taking a photo of me on their cell phone, unfortunately I was starting to climb up that celebrity ladder again - I had a one star celebrity status which I really did not want.


I spotted Pauline Wan, a workmate,  along the way talking to someone outside the bookshop.
I suddenly got one of those inappropriate moments by wanting to give her some flowers, so I put my guitar away and went over to where she was stood talking to Ethan Bunch.  I gave Paulline some yellow flowers - she squealed and Ethan was not very happy at all.


Pauline being of a flirty nature, suddenly started flirting with me.


Do I or Don't I that is the question - I wanted a first romance but is Pauline really the one.  I was starving - so is it romance or food??  FOOD!!!!!
I gave her a quick friendly hug goodbye and went home to eat.


The next morning Pauline surprised me by phoning me.

"Hiya Wes"
"Pauline"
"Thank you for the flower"
"Your welcome!!"


"Wes I need to say something"
"I am all ears"
"I have a boyfriend his name is Hank, we live together"
"Yes I already know that"
"Just I thought with you giving me flowers ...."
"Don't panic - Yellow flowers - just a friendly jester, the time to worry is when I give you red flowers"
"So you are cool with us just being friends"
"Super cool!!"
"Great!!  I'll see you later at work then!"


I was out tending my little patch of garden when something caught my eye.


The house on the hill behind my house there was someone stood watching me - I could not really see her too clearly - all I could see was purple.
When she noticed that I had seen her watching me she quickly went into the house.
Curiosity got the better of me and I went to be nosey.


She must have seen me coming because she was stood on her pathway waiting for me.


"Hello I'm Wesley"
"Hello Wesley" she replied


A few traits in common, compatible star signs - a good start
Then an awkward silence fell between us.


I get these inappropriate urges, I know its wrong but I really can not help it, and it is not very often that being inappropriate doesn't get me a slap in the face or an argument.  Rarely does being inappropriate actually pay off like at this moment -   I found myself lurching forward to kiss someone I barely knew - shockingly she reacted by kissing me back!!  No screaming, no shouting, no slapped face - she was kissing me back.


Neither of us spoke



I gave her red flowers and she squealed taking them off me
sniffing them made her sneeze which made us both laugh


We just stood staring into each others eyes
My stomach flipped over and I could feel my heart beating faster in my chest
Suddenly I heard a distant BEEP - BEEP
the carpool was outside my house waiting to take me to work - DRAT!!!


"I have to go to work"
"ok - bye then"
"Bye"


I left her swaying on the path


I think I am in love - and I don't even know her name!!
