The next day, I got up feeling very excited but a little nervous. The boys would start arriving this morning. A lot can be gleaned from a bio, but there’s nothing like meeting the real person.
They arrived in pairs, and the first two were Eli and Eric.
Eli described himself as a night owl and a hopeless romantic. He admitted to being a bit excitable at times but said he was rather perceptive. I suppose owning a large hotel, he has to be a bit frugal about certain things if the business is to remain in business.
This brave, social butterfly’s name is Eric. His bio says he loves the outdoors and describes himself as being brave and perceptive. One of his hobbies is taking pictures, so I guessed he had a nice photographer’s eye.
Alvaro would be the only werewolf in the house. I could tell he was friendly. His bio said he loves the cold and loves the outdoors. He has a bit of a rebellious streak and admits to being neurotic.
Next to arrive was Dante. From his bio, it sounded like this good gentleman had a lot of talents in many areas. His bio said he was athletic, artistic and a virtuoso. He looked very Italian, and most Italians are irresistible.
From Jared’s bio, he sounded like a fun guy. His looks increased my feelings on that. He was brave with a flirty, adventurous side but was a softie, given his nurturing and hopeless romantic nature.
Next to arrive was Pierce. This good warlock looked frendly and charismatic. I could tell he was rather athletic, and Pierce proclaims himself to be a great kisser. Maybe in time, I’ll see if this is true.
The next two gentlemen both had the last name of Ralston, so I knew they were somehow related. The resemblance stopped at the surname, however. I immediately recognized one of them from Lenora’s season.
Torrence admitted to being over-emotional and somewhat inappropriate, which he said he always apologized for later. He was a clumsy perfectionist who seemed friendly enough.
This green fairy was called Laban. He professed to be excitable but was a very friendly kind of guy. His bio said he prided himself on how perceptive he is and that he believed in preserving the environment, making him eco-friendly. I could tell by his smile that he had a fun, flirty side.
Next was Ben, whose bio said was artistic and quite disciplined. He admitted to being socially awkward but was a brave soul about it. He, too, had a flirty look about him.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone as unique looking as Gentian. He, too, was from Lenora’s season, and I remembered how bummed she was when he left. It was great that he’d come back for another season, and I looked forward to getting to know him, along with the other guys. Being a Plant Sim, it was natural that he had a green thumb. From watching Lenora’s season, I knew he was a good, irresistible guy, who was a professed athletic workaholic.
Next up was Declan. He admitted to being a little eccentric but looked to have a carefree, flirty way about him. He said he wanted to settle down with the right woman and have kids, which made him family-oriented. He was definitely athletic and looked confident and charismatic.
Last, but certainly not least, was Demario, whose name I adore. This clumsy Fairy says he gets a bit neurotic when under stress. To relieve it, he loves to swim. He looked like a good guy. A fun fact in his bio said he was a cat person.
Jen told me that today would be just a Getting-to-Know-You day and that we should just relax and do what we liked. It didn’t take long for the guys to start buzzing around me. Lenora told me to expect that, and she sure wasn’t wrong.
There wasn’t much of a chance to talk to each guy one-on-one, but I figured there would be plenty of time for that. When it did happen, it was very nice…well, most of the time anyway.
Declan started to flirt with me right away, and he said some very lovely things that made my wings flutter. He was a charmer as well as a looker.
Eric said I’d make a beautiful subject for a portrait and that he hoped I’d pose for him someday. As his eyes rolled over me, I could imagine the kind of poses he had in mind. I had to fight the urge to fan myself.
Gentian and I chatted for a few minutes, but it wasn’t long before some of the others were wanting my attention.
Oh dear! I’d hoped I wouldn’t experience this, but no such luck. I was about to grab some lunch when Eli got it into his head to insult my intelligence.
Now, I know it was Lenora who was the smartest of the Terrific Three, as Christie, Lenora, and I called ourselves, but I’m no ditz either. I was a little hurt but decided to try to smooth things over. I told him a fairy tale, which he said he found amusing and then apologized for his behavior. I shrugged it off, but I sure hope it doesn’t happen again.
Dante came to find me in the sauna room and started to flirt with me. I guess I must have still been more ticked than I realized because I took it out on poor Dante.
I knew calling him ignorant was low and I regretted it the instant it came out of my mouth.
I tried to apologize but he felt the need to fire back. I suppose I can’t blame him. Well, tomorrow’s a new day and hopefully he’ll have cooled off by then.
With a huge sigh, I gratefully sank into the water to relax. Alvaro came in to talk to me and asked if I was okay.
When I got out, Laban was there. I think he was the one I had the longest conversation with that day. We flirted for a while, then we talked about our favorite food. Being a fairy, we had that in common, so we talked about that. Then, he said he’d love to paint my portrait and asked if I’d be willing to pose. Between him and Eric, I figured I’d have a bit of modeling to do in my near future.
I suppose Torrence couldn’t let his relative outdo him, so he sought me out as I was about to head upstairs to bed. We talked for a while about artwork and books, and it was great to discover that we both had some of the same favorite authors.
I was completely exhausted by the time I made it to my room and rolled myself into bed. I had no idea that holding court with twelve delectable guys was so draining, but it was. I knew tomorrow was going to be a big, long day, so I was more than grateful when sleep came quickly.
