Sunday, January 4
I had lunch with Tatewaki today. He told me that Mike Loader is
interested in pictures of Akane. I'm going to have to check into that,
my resources are getting a little low without Tatewaki to buy pictures.
Of course the museum deal over the alter found in the rock quarry will
help bring in the cash.
There's something else. I'm getting worried about my mental health.
Tatewaki paid for lunch, as usual, but I had this weird feeling. The
whole time I was eating I kept thinking I should have ordered something
cheaper, and when the waiter asked if I wanted desert, I said no. The
thing that really worries me is I meant it, even though I wasn't really
full. I think I'm starting to feel guilty about making Tatewaki buy me
expensive things. I can't believe this is happening to me. What if I
start feeling sorry for the people who owe me money?
I think I might start seeing a psychiatrist. This just isn't
healthy. I asked Tatewaki if he knew any good shrinks and he
offered to pay for me to go to his family shrink. I turned him down! I
turned him down for an offer to pay for an expense like that!
I didn't just turn him down. I got really mad about it. I think he
thought it was because I didn't want to go to his shrink. The thought of
him paying for me, it felt like I was a child or something. I wanted to
kill him for that. A couple of months ago I would have jumped at the
chance for him to pay for my lunch, shrink and anything else that came
along. Now I get upset when he even mentions buying my lunch. What is
wrong with me?
Last night I was laying awake thinking about how much I owe him. Of
all the times I made him buy me lunch or dinner or snacks. Those were
part of the deals for the pictures. I know that, but I can't make myself
believe it.
I guess the worst thing of all is that I was really itching to pick up
the bill for lunch. I wanted to buy lunch for Tatewaki. When the waiter
put the bill on the table I wanted to grab it and say, this ones on me,
Kuno baby. It felt like ants were crawling on my palms I wanted to pay
so badly. On the way home I kept seeing stupid little nick-nacks that I
could give him, and I wanted to buy those too. I still do. I must be
going crazy.
