Prepping for Another Big Day

With Amber's departure, I was left with a couple chores I needed to do before crashing into my bed. First, I needed to change my sheets. My neighbor, and newest harem member, and I had done quite a number on them. Something told me that my bedding expenditures would be rising exponential in the days to come.

Second, I had to make at least a good faith effort to start boxing my stuff up. As much fun as I was having, I still had to be out of the building by early Sunday morning. Sure, I could "change" (HA!) Ellen's mind, but I was pretty sure that even she couldn't stop the planned renovation for the building. Not without raising a lot of eyebrows and bringing undue attention to hear, and therefore, me. I was boxing my books up when I looked out the window and saw that the out of place limousine was still parked outside the building. Though, now the driver appeared to be leaning on the hood, waiting for someone. I couldn't get a good luck from the distance, but from what I could tell it was a woman with long black hair. I snapped a picture of the limo and woman with my phone, and texted it to Amber and Karen. The building was practically empty, so I figured there was a decent chance they might have an idea who the driver was, and what she was doing staking out our apartment building.

Third, I dug out my seldom used briefcase. And a joke, hollow book. I put a sizable pile of the coins into a plastic bag. Then into the fake book. I wrapped the book in newspaper, like a a birthday present from a "cool" uncle. Then I put the book into the briefcase and locked it. Until I got those coins into a safety deposit box I was going to be incredibly anxious and paranoid about losing control of them.

Finally, I put some thought to the actual way I was going to "punish" Dana. Everyone seemed to like the idea of making her earn her way into my good graces, so I decided to go with that. Every woman who had one of these amazing coins would get to set a task she'd have to complete. Nothing TOO Herculean. Just giving the coin to her had completely changed her personality. I'm sure she was now agonizing over any perceived slight she had committed against me. The full pound of flesh wouldn't be necessary. Maybe just a quarter to half pound.

Taking a break from boxing the debris I'd accumulated in my apartment, I created a list of all the coins that were in play.

1. -Janet
2. -Karen
3. -Hannah
4. -Dana
5. -"Connie"
6. -Amber
7. -Four unknown woman from the coins given to Janet, Karen, & Amber
8. -The coin I had given to Nate
9. -The coin that went missing when Janet and I went to the mall.

Wow. 12 coins were already either given to a woman, or were waiting for to be "claimed." Only five of those women had actually been able to take "advantage" of their status as harem members and I was exhausted. I saved the list and started searching for gyms and physical trainers near Janet's place. While **** by snu-snu wouldn't be the worst way to go, I decided I wanted to avoid departing this realm as long as I could, which clearly seemed like it was going to require at least some light cardio training. There were a couple good options, one even across the street from Janet's building. I'd have to ask Janet if she had any insider knowledge on which ones would be best.

Looking up from my phone, I realized it was well past my normal bedtime, and I was definitely feeling it. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. As I was setting my alarm clock for tomorrow, a text came in, once which would either make it very hard to fall asleep, or would guarantee very good dreams.

Connie???: Good evening Master...I've been thinking of you all day. My coworkers have been wondering why I haven't been able to stop smiling. They're pretty sure I've got a new guy. Which, I guess is true, isn't it, Master? I'm really looking forward to meeting you when this trip is over. This has been a long trip, but when it's over, I am pretty sure it will be well worth it. You'll make it up to me, won't you Master? Sleeping all by myself, all alone in these hotel beds. I hope you don't mind a cuddler. Well I'm off to bed. Drop me a line tomorrow, maybe call me? I just realized that I haven't even heard your voice yet. Good night, Master.

As I turned off the bedside lamp, and drifted off to sleep, I knew I was looking forward to very good dreams.
