David's night moved surprisingly slowly once he woke up. Finding multiple texts from Bill made him giddy with pleasure and he read through all of them at least three times before he decided how best to respond. Strangely, it had only been a day's sleep (well, longer, really, because he'd gone to bed at night, to be with Bill) since he'd seen the mortal but... fuck, he wanted to see him again. Stranger still, it wasn't even to get anything out of him, he just wanted to spend time with him. In fact, he had the rather insane urge to spend time with him in public, to take him somewhere nice and... was he
wooing him? Even
he wasn't that old but it was where his urges were leading him. He liked the idea of spending his nights with Bill so he was interested in doing stuff that would make it appealing to the mortal.
With this plan in mind, he traded texts with Bill for a bit and ascertained that he was with Emil. Hrmm. He wasn't
jealous about that, per se, he was just... disappointed, he decided after a little while. That changed when Bill said he was just there to catch up with his friend and he wouldn't be tied up all night and David suddenly felt a rush of magnanimity towards the unknown vampire (though he still resented the guy for freaking Bill out with his stupid information overload in the first place, he could almost forgive him now, just because he wasn't keeping Bill with him all night). He suddenly felt just fine about letting them have their visit and arranged for Bill to text him when he was ready to be picked up - he assumed from Emil's place but then consequent texts implied it would be
his house instead. He wondered why, then realised Bill probably wanted to keep him away from Emil since he hadn't said very nice things about him. That made sense. He vowed to be nicer tonight (if he could).
He showered and dressed up, pulling on a modern-styled black suit over an olive green shirt with an enlarged collar. He left the top three buttons undone and didn't wear a tie, pulling on matching green socks and some slick shiny black dress shoes. The bathroom was where he spent the longest amount of time, though, deciding what to do with his hair and which out of his many colognes to spray on. He'd washed his hair so after he dried it, he straightened it, just for a different look, and then put a gold chain with a heart on it that his sire had given him over his head. It hung down onto his chest, glinting in the opening of his shirt as he played with his hair, tossing it this way and that while he decided what would look best. With a bit of product in to keep the hair smoothed back and out of his eyes, he sprayed on something masculine and spicy, ensuring there was plenty so it would last until he got to Bill.
Deciding he didn't want to spoil his outfit on the bike (nor his hair inside a helmet), he called a cab and had them take him to a car dealership he knew well. He'd been there quite a few times, trying to make up his mind on a car, whether he needed it, how he could justify its existence inside his garage beside his very convenient bike, whether Darius would object to such an extravagant purchase (sadly, he knew he wouldn't). Tonight, he wanted it, so he bought a red
BMW M3 Coupe and drove out in it, inhaling the lovely new-car smell of it. The dealer hadn't quite believed he'd finally bought it after test driving it twice without so much as a word of encouragement - nor that the full (negotiated) amount had been paid up front - so he'd left him blinking in astonishment. No doubt it usually happened the other way around, when potential buyers ended up bedazzled by
him and drove away in their new car, blinking because they'd only been window shopping.
He went and got a drink at Risk, intending to go to the bar but once he walked in he was lured by the lights, the dance floor, the mortal rhythms on display. He found a match with no problem, drinking well and finding it surprisingly easy to demur any advancement, thinking that he'd be spending time with Bill and that was enough for him. The guy was cute when he was pouty and David found
that more difficult to resist so he removed himself from the situation and went back to dancing so as not to be tempted. He'd just secured his second drink for the evening - with a woman this time, so he wouldn't be nudged to comply at
all - when his phone alerted him to the fact that Bill was ready. With a smile, he finished up and hurried out of the club, a little bit thrilled to recall he had a new car and a
lot thrilled to know he was going to be picking Bill up in it.
When he reached the address he'd been given, he pulled smoothly over to the kerb, secretly laughing as Bill gave the vehicle a startled look and stepped back, expecting to be picked up on the bike, no doubt and unable to see his face in the dark. That changed when he turned the car off and hastened around towards Bill to open his door for him, grinning as he leaned a jaunty arm on the open door, crossed one foot over the other and gestured to the plush black leather passenger seat. "You ordered a ride, sir?" he asked with mocking aplomb, waiting until Bill registered that it was him before he broke his pose and closed in for a hug and a kiss instead of standing there like a chaffeur, his grin broad indeed.
