Undead Romance (Male Lydia x Reader)

Chapter 9- Banana Boat

It's Nighttime and as promise dinner for seven. Everything looks very nice, everything is in control, and everybody is in their element. "What you did with the place is wonderful" Grace, Bernard's wife, says.

Grace looks at Charles who mouthed "Not me. Them." Them being Otho and Delia. Delia looks at her sculptures then at Bernard, who is her agent.

"So?" Bernard looks at the sculptures then at Delia just nodding his head.

"You do like them?" Delia says with the biggest smile on her face, while Bernard just keeps on nodding.

"I just hope it wasn't yet another of your dreary suicide attempts. You know what they say about people who commit suicide. In the afterlife, they become civil servants." Otho says commenting on Beryl's, an editor for Art in America, incident that happened last week that put her in the hospital. Everyone gave a short laugh just to be nice.

"Otho, I didn't realize you were into the supernatural?" Bernard comment.

"Oh course! You remember! After my stint with the Living Theater. I was one of New York City's leading paranormal researchers until the bottom dropped out in '72." Otho exclaims.

"Paranormal? Is that what they're calling your kind these days?" Beryl says already sick to death of Otho talking. The others around the table just look at each other not knowing what to say.

"Don't mind her. She's still upset that someone dropped a house on her sister." Otho says coming at her. Delia just laugh to ease the tension of the room, but it doesn't work.

"Well, this looks really good." Charles says after seeing a look on Delia's face.

"I saw some ghosts." Levi says remembering what Otho had said earlier. Everyone is all quiet and looking at Levi, while Delia laughs trying to take the attention off of Levi.

"It's a private joke Levi and I share." Levi looks at her with shocked.

"It's not a joke."

Delia interrupts, "Yes, it is. Just today she tried to convince me this house is haunted." She laughs, "Kids! You know, I love them!"

"By ghosts?" Grace questions

"In designer sheets, no less." Delia give Charles a nasty look saying 'Do something'.

"I'd like to propose a toast to our intrepid friends who braved the expressway and two dozed tollbooths to be with us this evening. May your buildings go condo." All lift their wineglasses.

"Now, Levi. Favor us about your ghosts." Otho says wanting to know more about these ghost Levi saw.

"No! I am sick of that subject." Delia says shutting it down.

"Oh, Delia, lighten up." Otho says looking at her. "I would rather talk about..." Everyone looks at her wanting her to continue till suddenly...

Day-o, Day-o

Daylight come and we want go home

"That's cute, Delia" Otho says thinking it was some sort of a joke.

Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o

Daylight come and we want go home.

Charles laugh thinking it is some kind of joke and looking under the table to see a radio or something. "Otho, are you doing this?" He questions.

Work all night on a drink of rum

Suddenly both Charles and Delia stands up moving there shoulder to the beat. Everyone, except Levi grab there napkins and start patting their face to the beat. Everyone is shocked since it is not their doing.
