Chapter 7: Preparing for the Trip (Dave's POV)

Earlier that day, while Gwendolyn was sleeping in her room, Dave was busy getting things ready for the shopping trip later on. The night before, Dave had set his alarm clock to wake him up a little bit earlier that what he was used to. Despite what happened last night with Gwendolyn, Dave managed to get a few hours of sleep. When the alarm began to buzz, he reached out with his left hand and slammed his hand on the button to silence it.

Sitting up in his bed, Dave knew that he had a lot of time before Gwendolyn woke up. Since she went to bed so late, I'm sure she could use a few more hours. I, on the other hand, need to get her a change of clothes that she can wear on our trip. Getting off the bed, Dave headed into his own bathroom to get ready to head out. Stripping down to nothing, he jumped into the shower and washed himself clean.

The shower helped Dave in the fact that it woke him up just a little bit more. Once he was done, he got out of the shower and grabbed a fresh towel off of the heating rack.

Wrapping the towel around his waist, he made his way back to the bedroom. Walking over to the closet, he opened it to reveal different types clothing such as suits, slacks, wife beaters, jeans, shoes, and boots. It was a good move on my part to join Evolution. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to look as good as I do.

Reaching into the closet, Dave grabbed a black jacket, black slacks, a white shirt, and a pair of black shoes. Laying the outfit out on his bed, Dave finished drying himself off and applied cologne to his body. Walking over to the dresser, Dave grabbed a pair of black boxers. Letting the towel drop to the floor, he put on the boxers before putting on the slacks.

The next thing that Dave put on was the white shirt followed by the black jacket. Completing the outfit, Dave walked back over to the mirror to grab the hoop earring that he always wore in his left ear. The last thing that Dave grabbed before heading out was probably the most important thing to him personally. He reached into one of the drawers and grabbed the black rosary beads that his buddy had given him years back for good luck and protection.

Wrapping the beads around his right hand, Dave put on his shoes and made his way out the door. Before heading downstairs, he wrote a quick note for Gwendolyn before heading downstairs, grabbing his car keys off of the rack near the front door, and heading out the door. Hopefully if I time this right, we can head out before one.

Walking out into the bright Tuesday sun, Dave hopped into his clean, black Mercedes. Starting the engine, he checked all of his mirrors, put the car in gear, and headed out to get the things that he figured Gwendolyn would need. A few hours later, the Animal walked back into his home, with bags in hand. He had been running around town trying to get everything he could for Gwendolyn to wear for the trip.

Despite some setback and a little loss of dignity, he managed to pull it off. Looking at the clock on the wall, Dave saw that it said 11:30. Not hearing any noises, he figured that Gwendolyn was still in bed and thought that his surprise wouldn't be ruined. Slipping his shoes off and leaving them by the door, he snuck his way upstairs. Making his way to Gwendolyn's door, he left the items that he got in front of the door.

Dave decided to wait for Gwendolyn downstairs so that they could leave right away. Passing by his door, Dave saw the note that he left still on the floor. Going back down the stairs, he sat down on one of the couches and decided to watch some TV. A few minutes later, Dave thought he heard a door opening and figured that the young woman had found the gift he left for her. Listening to the sounds of a shower running, Dave tried to keep his thoughts in check. I wonder how she is doing handling everything that is happening. Hopefully this trip will take her mind off of things.

Maybe we can get some food after we're done. Dave's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of an angel. "So, are you ready to go?"
