SimLit Legacy Stories by Sharon

The next morning when I got up, Jared and Declan were right there to greet me. Declan jumped right in flirting with me, which I enjoyed. Jared joined in, and I felt a little like a yoyo being bounced around between the two of them. I’d never had so many guys clambering for my attention before. It was nice but a little overwhelming at times.

I talked with Jen, who agreed with me that splitting the guys up and taking them on two separate outings was a good idea. By dividing them in half, it would give them more of a chance to interact with me on a smaller scale and in a more neutral setting. I would take six with me today and the other six tomorrow. The first group was Eli, Alvaro, Jared, Torrence, Ben, and Demario. I was hoping for a sunny day so we could visit the Summer Festival, but the hail put a kibosh to that. I decided that Plan B would be the gym.

When we arrived, we congregated in the lobby for a while. I had to laugh because we sounded like a bunch of magpies as we talked and chuckled.

One by one, everyone except Ben went to go work out. He started flirting with me, and I couldn’t resist fluttering my wings at him. They fluttered even more as I thought about how the guys would look in their cool workout clothes.

Ben excused himself and headed to the pool while I casually made my way toward the equipment. Now, I never thought of myself as a shameless hussy, but I swear I had to regulate my breathing at seeing five guys working up a sweat on exercise machines. I figured I’d distract myself by working out too, but I suppose me in my workout getup was the distraction. At least it was for Jared.

We did more talking and flirting than working out, not that I’m complaining.

I heard a noise coming from the men’s room that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. With the full moon being upon us, Alvaro had no choice but to transform into wolf form.

We stayed a little while longer, but I was exhausted by the time we got home. I called it a night, knowing I’d have to do it all over again with the second group tomorrow.

I decided to take the second group of guys to the pool. Sure, we have one of our own at the house, but it’s always nice to get out. The second group was Eric, Dante, Pierce, Laban, Declan, and Gentian. It resembled the outing from yesterday, for once we arrived, we all chattered happily. Several wanted to talk to me at once but they eventually straggled off toward the pool for a dip. Only one guy stayed behind to talk.

Pierce and I had a nice time chatting, laughing, and flirting a little. He was easy to talk to, and I couldn’t believe how quickly the time passed. The conversation eventually came around to music, and we talked about some of the greats and legends, including Amadeus Landgraab.

I guess Jared wasn’t happy that Pierce and I were spending so much time together because he marched toward me and insulted my intelligence. Honestly, I don’t know why he was so upset, and I was very taken aback. Declan and Pierce weren’t happy about it, so they immediately jumped to my defense.

I know what I did next was a completely juvenile thing to do, but being completely pissed can make an otherwise civilized person act in a knee-jerk fashion. So, I did what any pissed off fairy would do and returned fire. Ha! Let’s see how you like them apples, Jared!

Ben and Declan must have felt the need to play referee because they both instantly materialized by my side. It was unnecessary because Jared and I made it up and had a pleasant conversation. I tried the same tactic I’d used on Eli the first day and told him a fairy tale, which he seemed to enjoy.

I really do need to control my emotions better. I guess I was still feeling prickly because when Pierce started up a conversation with me again, I called him an idiot. Good grief!

There was an audience by then, so I figured we’d all had enough. It was time to return to the house, so I gathered the troops and we headed out.

Since I was in such a bad mood, I asked Jen if I could sleep on making my decision for the first elimination until the next morning. I didn’t want to make any rash decisions because they all deserved a fair chance. I certainly didn’t want to hurt anybody.

Sleep didn’t come quickly because of the decision I had to make. I tossed and turned half the night and finally fell into a fitful doze around 3 AM. I felt rather sluggish and lethargic the next morning, but at least I’d come to terms with what I had to do.

It turned out to be an easy decision. Sadly, Dante and I just didn’t hit it off. After what happened on the first day, he avoided me, so there really was no other alternative.

Alvaro didn’t seem interested in me at all. The only time I saw him, really, was when he arrived. I wish both gentlemen well and hope they find what they are looking for, which isn’t me.

Author’s Note: I am playing hands off except in cases where I have to step in and tell them to grab something to eat before they die. I got them to the locations for the group outings, but other than that, everything that happened was strictly autonomous.

Alvaro didn’t interact with her at all. He was more interested in interacting with the other guys. Also, Dante never interacted with her again after the Berate Ignorance interaction from the first day.

Ileah and Pierce spent a lot of time together at the pool, which drastically brought up their relationship. Declan flirts with Ileah a lot, which she likes, hence the nice relationship value.  She’s already rolled a want to kiss him for the first time and to give Pierce a friendly hug.

Here are some bonus shots.

It’s crazy how quickly the place turns into a pig sty when nobody cleans up. LOL! Alvaro didn’t seem to mind though, and it didn’t diminish his appetite.

Alvaro probably would have scored better if it had been Ileah under his hands on the massage table.

It’s hard to keep furniture looking its best when there’s a wolf in the house.
