Dinner time

As Dave and Lisa sit at the table, you and Mazzy gather the food and bring it out. In addition to the ham, Mazzy has made mashed sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, and a vegetable mixture that smells delicious. It all looks amazing, and you can’t wait to dig in. As the two of you carry everything out, you get similar reactions from Dave and Lisa.

Dave chuckles as you and Mazzy sit down. “I’ll say this, Brian. Whatever else, Mazzy is a keeper for the food. This looks delicious!”

Lisa nods. “You really didn’t have to go this far!”

Mazzy grins. “I love to cook, and I wanted to make a good impression! You’re Brian’s friends, so you’re important to me now, too.”

Lisa smiles and shares a glance with Dave, who chuckles. “You really do move quickly, both of you!”

Mazzy giggles. “I know it seems that way, but monster girl relationships move much faster than human ones. I guess it’s instinctive.”

She looks at you and smiles. “It helps when my mate is such a wonderful guy, as well.”

Once again, she has you blushing, to everyone’s amusement. Dave doesn’t tease you too much however, as he glances at Lisa again.

“I suppose we should come clean then. We’ve actually been considering becoming sponsors ourselves. That’s why I thought you should try it, Brian.”

You nod. “I figured it might be something like that, with our conversation earlier.”

Lisa smiles, serving herself up some food. “We haven’t applied yet, because we’re still considering it, but I think after tonight our minds might be made up. Mazzy, you seem lovely, and you both look so happy together!”

Mazzy nods excitedly. “It’s been a couple days, and it’s been wonderful! And there’s only been a couple rude people.”

Dave sighs. “That reminds me. The boys at work probably won’t care too much, other than the usual ribbing. Hell, they’re probably gonna be jealous, because, no offense, Mazzy, but you’re smoking hot.”

Lisa smacks Dave again, and he laughs. “But the boss man, you know how he is. Old racist shithead. It won’t come to anything, but you’ll probably catch an earful from him.”

You chuckle. “I’m sure. Don’t worry, I’ll live. After all, look who I come home to now!”

Mazzy beams at you, practically glowing with happiness. Dave and Lisa both laugh, and Lisa nods. “You two are adorable! Reminds me of us a few years ago. You’ll do well together, I can tell.”

Dave grins. “And if anyone gives you too much shit, come get me, I’ll set ‘em straight. As for us…well, I think we need to look into filling out that application tonight.”

Lisa nods, smiling. “I agree! You don’t think we’re being weird, do you Brian?”

You shrug. “If you asked me last week I might have said yes. But Mazzy has other plans, and she can be very convincing!”

Mazzy grins. “In more ways than one!”

You chuckle, rolling your eyes, as everyone else laughs. Dave points his fork at Mazzy. “You, little miss, are going to fit in just fine. Do you have a sister?”
