Alrighty, another long one! Also, these walking and talking poses by @dinaasimmer were exactly what I needed for the last pictures! Also adore the couple pose by @simtrovart that I used for Julia and Miles!
And so, a few weeks after her mini-meltdown, Lola finally gave in...she let Julia set her up on a blind date.
Lola: Did we have to go to the suburbs? I mean, seriously?
Julia: Quit your complaining! This place is the best. And isn’t it just so cute?
Lola: We’ll see about that.
Lola fidgeted with her denim jacket as she and Julia waited for Julia’s husband, Miles, and his brother, Milo, to show up. She had to admit, “Alternative Cup” was rather cute, but worth a train all the way out to the suburbs of San Myshuno?
She and Julia continued to chat in the front foyer of the cosy restaurant; in spite of herself, Lola started to get nervous. Just as she was about to glance up at the wall clock for the bazillionth time, a random guy with a devilish grin came up behind Julia, wrapping his arms around her waist. Before Lola had a chance to grab her friend out of the random creep’s arms, he started to speak.
Miles: Guess who...
Julia smiled as she turned around, giving the random a quick peck.
Julia: An incredibly late husband?
He grinned sheepishly, curling a stray lock of Julia’s hair behind her ear.
Miles: Sorry, Junebug, we got stuck in traffic.
Lola: Junebug?Julia turned her head, winking at Lola.
Julia: A different story for a different night...and hey, where is Milo?
Milo: Right here, sister-sister.
Julia’s smile widened as she moved to hug Miles’ brother. Lola looked him over, noting how incredibly different he and his brother looked. Sure, they had some similarities in their face, but, the hair and the way their held themselves really threw it all off.
Julia: Alrighty, lets get a table!
Before Lola could blink they were sitting at a patio table, fairy lights above them and soft music playing from some hidden speakers. Julia and Miles immediately dove into conversation, disappearing into a world of their own like only best friends could. Milo also seemed to be absorbed in their chatter, watching them with a goofy grin on his face. Lola, on the other hand, was only half-listening. She kept glancing between the two brothers, noting their differences. Miles; tall, dark, and charming. Undoubtedly charming! But rigid. Why is he sitting up so straight? Who sits like that? He and Julia must be total opposites. Milo; tall, but not so dark. Where does that ginger hair come from? And his eyes...they’re the same colour as his brother’s, but...different. And he seems so relaxed; his posture is pretty straight too, but, somehow he looks like he’s leaning against something. Lola’s analysis was disturbed by a sharp jab to her ribs as Julia growled at her.
Julia: Have you gone mute or something?
Before Lola could protest, however, Milo saved her butt.
Milo: So, Lola, you’re new the city?
Lola: Yeah, I just moved here about 3 months ago, from Windenburg.
Julia: Oh, Milo, she’s being modest! She isn’t just from Windenburg, she’s from the island...you know, where all the richies live!
Lola: Julia!
Her eyes nearly popped out of her head as she flushed a deep shade of red. She hated talking about money, particularly her family’s. Milo, however, simply laughed.
Milo: Ah, so you’re just testing the waters?
Lola: What do you mean?
Miles: Milo...
His voice sounded harsh, like a warning for his brother. Milo, on the other hand, took on a devious look. His previously relaxed demeanour dissolved as he leaned forward, a darkness shadowing his eyes.
Milo: I mean, you’ve moved to the big city, after living on a sheltered island and having the perfect prim and privileged upbringing, to see what the world looks like. But eventually, you’ll move back, and you’ll get married, pop out a few kids, and BAM! You’ll be just like the rest of ‘em. Ordinary.
He hit the head on the nail, completely pinning one of Lola’s worst fears.
Miles: Milo!
Julia: Milo, what the hell!
Lola clenched her jaw, tears nearly rimming her eyes. Nearly all of her nerves screamed for her to get up, to throw her drink at him...to do something! But she didn’t, she stayed rooted in place.
Lola: You’re wrong.
Milo: Prove it.
The group sat in silence for a few minutes, the challenging look in Milo’s eyes piercing Lola’s gaze. This was not the night that she had been expecting, but at least she suddenly wasn’t bored. Julia and Miles looked between the two of them, waiting for one of them to explode. The tension in the air was thick as butter, but for some insane reason, in that moment, the chemistry between Lola and Milo was undeniable. And then, like a bomb, she set off. Lola and Milo went back and forth like rapid-fire shots, asking each other questions and shooting back answers. Gradually, Lola’s anger faded into a thrilled grin, and Milo slipped back to his relaxed demeanour.
Julia: I have no idea what just happened, but...it worked?
Julia and her husband watched the pair with somewhat disturbed intrigue.
Miles: Leave it to Milo to completely insult his date, and then somehow rope her in like that.
Milo and Lola, however, took no notice. They were too absorbed in their own conversation, slowly inching closer to each other across the table until they were quite literally at the edges of their seats. From then, the dinner flew by. Lola couldn’t even remember what she had ordered, let alone what it tasted like. By the end of the night, their previously tense conversation had turned into a flirtatious back-and-forth battle of wits.
Julia: Well, I think Mr. Tanner and I are going to be heading out.
Lola glanced, her attention breaking from Milo for the first time since their conversation have started. Julia was standing up with Miles, hanging on his arm with a drunken flush on her face.
Miles: Whatever shall we be doing, Mrs. Tanner?Milo made fake gagging sounds at the newlyweds.
Milo: Hey, get out of here before we lose our dinner, yeah?Julia reached over and swatted the back of her brother-in-law’s head.
Julia: We’re going, we’re going. But, if I hear that you do something ungentlemanly to my best friend, well then...there’ll be hell to pay, Milo James Tanner!
Lola snorted, her wine flying into her nose.
Lola: James?
Milo scowled at Julia, pushing her and his brother away before turning his attention back to Lola.
Milo: Why yes, Lola Anne Marie Posey?
Lola was surprised; how did he know her full name? Before she could ask, his eyes flicked to the Julia and Miles as they left; Lola simply rolled her eyes.
The two of them ended up finishing an entire bottle of wine before they left the restaurant, and even at that, only left because the place was closing.
Milo: So, Lola Anne Marie Posey, where shall we go from here?
Lola: Well, I need to go back to my apartment, Milo James Tanner.
Milo: To the apartment we go!
He began to march forwards, a goofy grin plastered across his face. Lola couldn’t help it as she began to laugh uncontrollably.
Lola: Not so fast; I said that I am going back to my apartment, not we.
Milo: Ah, but the night is young!
Lola: Not young enough.
Milo pouted at her, but didn’t push the matter. Instead, the two of them walked together to the train station, catching the last train back to the city. There was not a moment of silence between them, and before she knew it, Milo had already asked her on another date...and, she had said yes.

I'm so glad that your story is even further behind in real time. It makes me feel a lot better about having New Year's in the middle of January. But please, please... If Emilia rips off Gene's dick... I'll understand, but leave his face alone :(
Haha, I told you I was so far behind! T_T
She can’t take him head on. She knows this but was still pissed off enough to come after him. She’s changing tactics for now.

There are multiple awesome things on here, one that I cannot believe you enjoy my story enough to read it or put it on here, and two that you got it's a legacy but sort of story like. I couldn't break away from a story all together but I couldn't just focus on it either. So thank you for noticing that and enjoying it so much!
To be honest, I know I’m eventually going to hit a point where I’m going to taper off on the story, too, and will move to a shorter format... probably when babies start coming.

She knew it was coming! How could she send me that pose and NOT expect me to use that on them?!
something-wicked-sims replied to your photo
Yeah... I do... a little bit. I should have seen this shit coming >_>
You make a perfectly good sexy-evil pose and expect me not to use it for my evil babies? You knewwwww.

“Gene, Emilia, and Yulian”
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENE. MY BABY!!! *grabby hands* I JUST WANT TO PICK HIM UP AND HOLD HIM AND HIDE HIM FROM THE HORRORS OF HIS FUTURE.
He’s got that halo on, but he’s totally stealing June’s cookies.

cyberqueen-13 replied to your photo “It’s snowing in NC. God help us all.”
is this pic recent
No! It’s from a couple of years ago where Raleigh got maaaaaybe 3 inches of snow. Yes, I’m serious, 3 inches. We’re supposed to get 5 by Saturday.
pixeltrashcan reblogged your photoset and added:

You know she’s going to break something! His dick? We’ll see. XD
something-wicked-sims replied to your photoset “San Myshuno opened Cascabel Plaza in October in order to bring in more...”
Wow, I'm shocked. Yulian actually doesn't want to cause Gene great pain? He's trying to protect him either? ...Well damn. I can't totally loathe him anymore. And I KNEW he lied. UGH. I'm so upset and sad and also down for Emilia totally killing him because this is just the proper reaction to the situation. Emilia is my spirit animal, anyways.
Hahaha, Yulian would never try to protect Gene. He’s just looking out for Emilia, he doesn’t care how much pain Gene’s in. In fact, I think he’d be delighted to see him in pain.

This was the most hilarious thing I've read all day. I love this story
I try to keep my violence somewhat lighthearted... you know, when not burning bodies. Gene will live... probably.
something-wicked-sims replied to your post “@something-wicked-sims ding ding ding! Winner winner.”
Ugh. I knew there was no way Emilia would take that with a cool-head. Or any woman, but mostly Emilia. Now I'm sad. He fucked up AND he lied about it. I guess it's time after all... I have to jump ship :( You can keep your medal though, I don't want to be rewarded for figuring out this terrible thing q.q
I KNEW I’d get you!

Playing hide the reflective belt. This line needs to make an appearance in my story in more ways than one. I'm totally on the go big or go home train, though, considering I was convinced I was going to marry my husband 2 weeks into our relationship. I mean, I was right. We weren't on the USS Shitship though so it lacked bravado.
Haha, I was the opposite. I met my husband when he’d just moved cross country but still had a girlfriend and I was talking to an ex. We talked shit about each other’s favorite bands and were having pissing contests of who could be the most abrasive. At some point, I was trying to get some guy to leave me alone so I grabbed his hand and said, oh-so-smoothly, “Here, let’s pretend we like each other...” I think if someone would have told me I would marry him, even a few months in of us dating, I would have laughed. :X
stsciurussimblr replied to your photoset “Held together by duct tape and propelled out of sheer spite, I present...”
I love the way you edit your images! And…I'm still laughing: Shitship!
Thank you! I tried so hard to capture the luxury of a military spaceship in the future... which I would imagine would be as rickety as a tin box and just as comfortable.
dinaasimmer replied to your photoset “Held together by duct tape and propelled out of sheer spite, I present...”
This shippp is amazingggg o.o. But why is the name "shitship" it should be " THE SHITTTT SHIP" lol
That’s because the lowest bidder won the contract to build it... it looks neat but not very nice to live in!

NO. Em, how are you not pissed right now that he didn't contact you for days? Grr. I am not happy about this! NOT AT ALL!
She’s not overreacting because she doesn’t think she has anything to be concerned about. He’s only been no contact for at most a week now and she knows his sister is in town.

Need to have Laney review this Shrimp Shack. Gonna rate it a perfect 5/7 because you're sinking my ship out of spite.

It’s one of the things I really look forward to during Christmas. I’d been planning his since October. I started on my other nephew this year, too. But since he’s only 6, I went prank-lite... I just stuck his in a different box and hid pokemon packs inside his main gift.
