I’m starting to agree with the people who are total homebodies. It seems like every time we attend a party, especially a vampire party, something happens.
“It’s been a month since our wedding.” I reminded Caleb after I finished somehow getting myself into the dress I had bought for the party at Annalise’s house.
The invitation said “masquerade” party.
“I had planned to celebrate with you later, but now I am rethinking that. You smell divine tonight.” Caleb told me, staring me down like a lion would a water buffalo.
I won’t lie, that thrilled me so much that I had to suppress a shiver. “You’re the one that wanted to go tonight.” I reminded him.
“I have changed mind.” Caleb whispered loud enough that I could hear it.
“I didn’t shove myself into this dress for nothing.” I told him curtly and walked away. I’m an idiot.
Oddly, Ukupanipo seems to always pop up at these parties. It also seems not everyone wanted to go by the invitations dress code. Though I understand with Ukupanipo, I’ve never seem him out his island garb…well except for in the ocean.
Things went smoothly the first hour or so.
I felt the urge to throw up after seeing two men so willingly let vampires they don’t know feed off them. But some people seek this out. I can’t say I never thought about letting Caleb bite me. I’ve thought about it a lot, but I love him and trust him. I feel that’s a bit different.
Now, after walking into the foyer to head outside for fresh air- I saw my sister-in-law (nude) getting spanked by the same guy she went off with last time. I did find the nearest toilet and barf up my dinner. I was officially read to leave.
I went to find my husband…
I found him. Staring down some guy I haven’t seen before. I wrapped my arms around myself, willing myself not to puke all over Annalise’s floor while also feeling the immense tension in the air. I could tell something was extremely wrong by Caleb’s posture and the sneer on his face.
“James.” Caleb stated.
“You don’t look happy to see me, Caleb.” The man stated. Even Annalise looked uncomfortable. “It has been awhile.”
“Hmm.” Caleb muttered, still not moving.
“I heard you married.” James commented, gazing at me.
I felt the need for a shower.
“Yes.” Caleb stated coldly.
Things grew very quite in our little circle, though I could hear the other guests still chatting around us – oblivious to what was going on.
“James is visiting from Glimmerbrook.” Annalise finally said. Maybe she was trying to break up the tension by supplying some kind of information.
“I’ve been living there the last few years. It’s close the Realm after all.” James supplied before walking over to sit on the couch.
I looked at my husband, sighing. He nodded at me.
“I hope to talk to you soon, old friend.” James said as we were leaving the room.
I learned later that my sweet little nephew hid Maira’s flower basket somewhere….she settled for waving at people.
I felt like my heart was going to bust out of my chest as I walked down the aisle towards Caleb. All the waiting. All the time I was uncertain. It all led to that walk towards the rest of my life.
“You look radiant.” Caleb whispered to me as we faced each other.
“You look like I want to take that suit off you.” I whispered back to him.
I wondered where our priest was, turns out he missed his flight and would be doing the ceremony via speaker on Annalise’s phone. I blame Apollo for that.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…well. You’re gathered there. I’m stuck in the airport. But I digress. We here to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony..”
Five minutes later…
“I have been thinking this past month what I want to say to you today. I kept thinking of how this really all started because I wanted you to bare my child.” He paused “Back then, I wanted to keep it professional, so to speak. I had no intention of things going this way. No intention of falling for you. You were a complete surprise to me.” Caleb told me softly.
I stood there, listening and trying not to ruin my makeup. Listening to my future husband say his vows to me is a moment I waited for since the moment I understood what romantic love is.
“It is weird, my life before I fell in love with you kind of feels like this haze to me. Almost like it wasn’t real. You have changed things for me. I truly mean that. My views on my existence. My purpose. I no longer ask myself why I am still here. I no longer want someone to drive a stake through my heart so I can fade to nothing.” Caleb told me quietly.
My heart broke, thinking he used to feel that way. I grasped his hands, squeezing them with mine. I mouthed “I love you” to him as I felt tears welling up in my eyes.
“I do not feel that way anymore.” He assured me “I want to spend the rest of your life with you. I will do everything in my power to make you not only happy, but to feel loved every single day. That is my vow not only to you, but to any children we have. I will protect you. Take care of you when you need it. I will be with you until the end, no matter what.”
I wanted to cry so badly. I thought words like that were only spoken in those hallmark movies on TV. But they were said to me. They are real.
“I’m not really sure how to follow that up.” I said, laughing slightly to distract myself from ugly crying. “You know, there was a time in my life when I never thought I’d find someone. I didn’t really talk about those thoughts with anyone, but I had them.” I admitted.
Caleb nodded and I took a steadying breath. “Even though we weren’t close, you’ve been around during some of my darkest times. I always somehow knew I could go to you if I had a problem. You even put up with me calling you Dr. Cullen when I was drunk.” I joked, which received some laughs from my brother and Aubree.
“I know I can trust you to protect me and to love me. To take care of me…when I allow it, I am kind of stubborn.” I admitted, I could see Naya slapping her hand over Apollo’s mouth out of the corner of my eye. I bit my lip so I didn’t start laughing and redirected my focus totally on Caleb.
“You awakened a passion inside of me that I didn’t know existed. I’m not just talking about a physical type of passion but it’s a passion to love you. I miss you so much when I’m not with you. I can even feel it when you enter a room. I can’t put this all into words as good as you. Just please know that I love you Caleb and I will until my last breath.”
There was a brief moment of total silence where Caleb and I just looked at each other. It was like we were the only two beings in the world in that moment.
“I can’t wait to officially start our life together and to see what the future brings us.” I said, ending my vows.
“Beautiful. Now it’s time to exchange the rings.” The priest said from the phone. I almost forgot about him.
Rules: Create/Dress up a Sim based off of some of music’s “It Girls” (essentially songs named after/about a specific woman).
I picked “Bilie Jean” by Michael Jackson
♫ She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round ♫
♫ Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son ♫
I ignored a rule. I should know better by now. Maybe Caleb isn't the only hard headed one.
For some reason, I thought the office would be safe. It was just right off the hallway where the open bar was.
I had went in there to collect my thoughts. Asa Blake showed up. I hadn't talked to him yet, just his wife.
"I saw that you and Caleb were having a bit of a soap opera moment out there in the ballroom." Asa told me.
"Yeah...you could call it that." I commented. I didn't really want to talk about it. Plus something about him made me feel uneasy.
"Vampire relationships can be hard. I've been in a few before I found my lovely Annalise. But I have some advice for you, Miss Grant." Asa said cheerfully.
Before I could ask what, it happened.
He was so close to biting me, I tried to fight him but he was too strong. I managed to scream.
I heard a banging sound and Asa was off of me before I could wrap my head around what was going on. His fangs had scratched my neck, reminding me of how close I was to being his snack or whatever he had planned.
I looked up to see Caleb holding Asa by his throat, lifting him off the ground, before throwing him. I watched Caleb drag him out from behind his desk and into the middle of the floor.
"If you so much as look at my Vera again, I will rip your head off your body and place it on my wall while using your body as kindling at the next bonfire I attend. Do I make myself clear?" Caleb asked seething.
I'm not sure I have ever seen him that mad. Asa's reply was muffled, since Caleb had his shoe jammed into Asa's mouth and nose. Caleb slowly let Asa go, but not before throwing him back over the desk.
On our way out the door, I had Caleb on one side of me and Lilith on the other. I heard shouting. It was Annalise.
I didn't stick around to find out what she was yelling about. I just wanted to get out of there.
So now here I sit. At the Vatore Mansion. My neck isn't bad, just a light scratch. I just fixed my hair over it. Lilith brought me a pair of pajamas.
I have to wonder. How do I get into these situations? I think someone is at my door...
I have so many of these so here is an outtakes post!
why swim when you’re a mermaid??
Look at him! No, not Dakota! The cat! Just trying to get us to adopt him!....Vera almost did...
“May I fondle your boob?”
Even though Asa turned out to be a tool, I still think this shot is sweet.
so, I moved the main characters into a new save a while back just to cut down on lag etc. Well, Naya happened to find her Mom getting jiggy at the club because of it. xD
Sometimes, I shoot scenes and end up not using the scene...
But I still like the shots.
Aubree is really talented and bendy. August likes.
Just thought this was sweet.
......so Vera sat outside naked with Joey. In the rain. ????? she’s allowed a mental breakdown, okay?
