And so it happened.
After completely ignoring me during our date, Loki was out, and it all came down to two.
The two men I care the most and are closest to me, but one of them still must go.
Of course I always knew it would come to this, but facing the moment was much harder than I ever imagined, and the conflicted emotions finally got the best of me.
It was probably the worse moment yet.
Right after Loki left, I ended up crying in the terrace, while P and Laz argued inside.
I have never seen them arguing with each other, or anyone else for that matter, specially not Lazlo, but their voices were high enough for me to heard them.
It was both distressing and comforting the same time. They were arguing about and because of me, but both sounded honestly concern about my feelings and wellbeing, not about winning or loosing.
P wanted to come outside to check if I was alright, and stay close to support me in any way possible; while Lazlo insisted I needed time alone, and they should just support me quietly, ready to help, but respecting my personal space.
And strangely as it may sound, deep down I needed both, I wanted both. A time alone to figure out my thoughts by myself and strong arms to held me while I cry. Both P and Lazlo, but at the end, it can only be one.
Fortunately, it didn't have to be all at once, and for the rest of the night we could just try to chill out,
and temporarily forget about the stress of our situation.
They are both marvelous at easing all sort of problems, that's for sure.
It will be a very hard choice,
very hard indeed.
So this is it. Tonight is the real deal, the last night, the last... elimination.
Wonder what are they doing now. Are they as anxious as I am??
Anticipating and preparing for the upcoming evening,
barely able to eat and sleep, just hoping for the day to pass quick, while wishing for the best...
I'm scheduled to have one formal date with each of them during the night. We'll be going to a nearby place, for a few hours at the time, but the final decision must be taken, the latest, before 6am tomorrow!! That's in less than 24 hours from now!
I'm almost hoping for a miracle at this point;
a sign, something to make the selection easier and less painful for everyone;
but I'm aware there won't be any, that I just need follow my heart,
and trust that all be worthy at the end.
*******
I went out with Lazlo first.
I don't really mind the lycanthropy factor.
I worry at times, though. The nightly transformations look excruciating, and the radical drop on his needs is a constant concern, not mentioning the slight awkwardness of actually walking by his side.
But there's also something extremely exhilarating about his changes. It's almost like having two fascinating men in one, and he can be positively charming day and night.
The date was fun, and I wouldn't expect otherwise.
I can always count on him for a good laugh, great company and interesting chat.
He really knows how to party,
and can also be wildly passionate, when he puts his mind into it .
Living with Lazlo would be endless adventure, no doubt, but that is also the bad thing about him.
He can be too much of a party animal, and doesn't seem to recognize the appropriate times for games. It makes me slightly hesitant about how serious and responsible he can be when needed.
We could have a great time together at first, for sure, but not sure how any of us would feel about settling for real, at the end.
P is next now, but think I'll change my dress again, very quickly.
I should look my best for both of them, don't you think?
*******
Perfect. Everything he does is perfect, and so was our date.
From beginning to end.
He makes me feel like a queen; seems to know exactly what I need, when I need it; and knows how to make even the simplest detail, unforgettable.
I can count on him and I'd trust him blindly, because I'm can be sure he'd never fail or disappoint me. He'd never leave me, or cheat on me, or lie to me.
I can easily see myself living with him, for ever pleased, and protected, while still physically and mentally stimulated.
But no one is perfect, and that's P's biggest imperfection.
He's safe and predictable. Perhaps too much, for comfort. I worry our lives could become tedious easily.
And I can't forget I'm still talking about a servo.
Surely, we could find ways to have a family, if it comes to it, but he would never grow old with me, he would never age. That is another a concerning point.... though in the bright side, he would always be young and handsome, as he is today.
But there no more time to think now.
I must head back in, and make my final choice.
I don't have another day, or night, any more. Part of me wish I had, but probably wouldn't make things any easier, only longer.
So who would it be?
P-BOT
The man, who I know to love, trust and rely on; who will always love me, unquestionable for life and beyond; who will always support me and hold me; but could also cause our lives to become dull and controlled.
Or
LAZLO
The one who I know to love and cherish; who would always keep me entertained and thrilled; who let me grow as person, and give me space when needed; but who could also lead me to a life of uncertainty and instability.
I like them both so much, but they are so different from each other.
How can I possibly choose one over the other!?
More to come

So .... Who do you think she should choose?
Poll Creatures of Love Final
TBH, I can't decide for sure, and don't have a personal favorite at this point (believe it or not!!) , so thought it could be fun to get some feedback from the readers. Though, can't promise the poll result will be definitive, it may just give us the last push towards Mister Right. <3
For your references:
Scores by the end of sixth night (after Loki left)
And scores by the end of seventh night (after final dates)
ITS A TIE!! --- 100/100 vs 100/100!!
(tho, I still can't believe Lazlo actually made to the end!! XD )
Hope you all enjoyed the ride so far.
Whatever the outcome, I already have in mind some ideas for an appropriate ending/epilogue to all this crazy nonsenses ;)
Thanks for reading!! :D
