-CHEESE HUNTING AND TOPAZ RINGS-

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not coming back here again. Due to the fact that the price is absolutely high. I mean it is fine dining. But at the same time, this is not an everyday place. It's more of a place you come to celebrate something special like a birthday. This whole meal is going to be around a whopping $40 and it's just me, myself, and I. The thing that I liked is that they offered a whole four-course meal. This means that the price would pay for the main course is what I'd end up paying at the end of everything with a little tax added in of course. Let's not forget the tip. So its gonna basically round up to $50.00. I need to get groceries. I cannot offer to blow all my money on eating out.

The waitress came to the table without the check. "Ma'am I would like to inform you that your check had been covered by the gentleman over there." She said in a low tone, gesturing to him. I did not like the attention, nor did I enjoy the idea of a total stranger paying for my food. But I didn't want to be rude and ungrateful. I smiled at her and then at him. I focused my attention back to her. "Do tell him that I am thankful for his kind gesture," I said gathering my belongings and getting out of there. I didn't want to risk being followed.

I went to St.James Cheese Company. They sell the best cheese in town. They handcraft them all. They take time and really make sure they have the world's best quality animals. They make sure they feed them the right foods which in turn make for good dairy products. I bought two small blocks of cheese. Bleu D'Auvergne $17.00 and Coupole $18.95.

The shop was a decent size. It had a wide variety of cheese and meets in display cases. I want to make so shrimp Alfredo this week for my lunch. Maybe some lamb,couscous, and spinach for my dinner. I always crave smoothies for breakfast. The Alfredo requires a bit of cheese. So I thought it would be the best thing to get some cheese that's organic and rich in culture.

I turn to walk out of the shop, only to be shocked. I saw the admirer coming into the shop. I turn quickly and find and way to mingle through the small crown without him seeing me.

The second shop I went to is called Earth Odyssey. It was pretty damn cool. They are a metaphysical shop. Which means they sell an abundance of herbs, crystals, and books. I sighed, feeling relieved. I had a shop I could come to for my spiritual needs. The lady who worked there was so sweet. Her energy is warm and very welcoming. I didn't have any questions for her. However, I did ask her to take a ring that caught my eyes out of the display so that I can see it.

"Of course." She said grabbing the key and opening the case. She slides the glass to the left and takes out the case of rings. I pick up the topaz ring and place it on my ring finger. I feel as though this can be a promise ring. I can make it into a talesman. One that protects me and keeps me guarded against the temptations of lust. I pick up some sage, one essential oil, a topaz ring that stood out to me. I walk back to the counter and take out my wallet.

"You know, you should get a purse. Keeping your wallet in your pocket can be a risk. You might lose it." She said. I thought about it for the second. Lucifer said the same thing she said. I laughed to myself and shook my head. It's crazy how thoughts can travel. Two people can say the same thing. I walked over to the rack that had the multicolored clothe purses on the rack. I took a look at them all. The only one I wanted was a black one. I also bought a hemp bag that was meant to hold groceries. It had a small pocket in the front. I walk over to the counter and place the items on the counter.

She added the items to the ticket. "That will be $150.00." She said. I swiped my card and typed in my pin. The receipt printed soon after. She placed everything in the mesh hemp bag.

The third shop I went to is called Crescent City Books. Not gonna lie, I'm in love with this shop. It's more so a store than anything else. It's a bit large. These a wide range of books to choose from. I actually wanted to get about two books. Then when I finish them I'll move on to more. For now, I was buying 48 Laws of Power and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. They were $12.00 total, which was a good deal. I continued walking around. Just to see if I want any other books. I hear the door open, mainly because there was a bell above it that jingles to alert the owner that there's a newcomer. I turn to see the admirer. I can't even call him that. He would define it to be in the category of a stalker at this point.

He was very handsome tos at the least. I had a feeling he was an incubus too. Which means that I had to be super careful around him. They can easily influence a person who is human. Humans are very vulnerable to their influences. They can touch you once and you will change forever. I speak from experience, I walk over to a bookshelf that I can hide behind. I peak out and make sure that he's in the other room before I peak out and run to the register. The cashier scans the two books. "That will be $13.50." He said. I nodded. I tech into my pocket to find nothing. My wallet was gone. I start to panic a little, patting my obviously empty pockets.

I turn around and retrace my step to the bookshelf. It wasn't there. Walk into the other room to see if it dropped on the couch I had sat on for a brief second and it wasn't there. "Fuck," I said placing my hand on my face. I could feel the beads of sweat emerging from my pores. This is so bad. I turn around to come face to face with my wallet. The stalker was holding it at eyes view. "Looking for this." He said. I grab the wallet out of his hand and walk to the cash register. I take out a $20 bill and had it to him. "Keep the change sir," I said before walking out.
