SimLit Legacy Stories by Sharon

It was another predawn morning for me, and Laban was waiting for me when I came down. It was so peaceful with the sound of the surf off in the distance and the birds beginning to chirp. Laban’s warm smile made the early morning that much more pleasurable.

We talked mainly about flowers, but there was a little flirting mixed in. I couldn’t believe how quickly the time went as we talked.

We were still yacking away by the time the sun was fully up.

When Laban offered to give me a massage, I certainly couldn’t turn it down. I had no idea where this man learned his technique. All I knew was that I could definitely get used to this kind of treatment.

I thought it would be a good idea to have individual dates again today. The guys had been laying it on thick lately, so I wanted another one-on-one session to try to get a better understanding where all of our heads and hearts were going. I was still very unsettled in how I was feeling and so mindful about not wanting to make the wrong decision. I knew I was biting off a lot in coming on this show, but you really have no clue what it really is like until you’re here.

I figured it was time to amp it up a little. I decided to initiate some flirting with each guy and see what happened.

First up was Declan. I could tell he was right in his element with the flirting. It was nice, but I was starting to wonder if he was really interested in me as a person or if he was a flirt with everyone. The man I’d want to be with would have to have eyes only for me. I guess in this day and age, that is high standards to have, but I’m an old-fashioned girl, and I don’t share.

Next was Jared. He was a bit stiff at first but got into it after a while. No matter what, I will always care about him, but I just didn’t feel that special spark I’ve been looking to feel all my life.

Then, it was Eli. Oh, he is such a sweet man! He was always giving me little affectionate touches that showed me he really cared about me. Whatever happened, I’d always have a bit of a soft spot for Eli.

Next up was Laban. We fell into a comfortable rhythm, which we always seemed to do lately. He started out being very reserved around me when this show started, but that has now changed. He was always concerned about my comfort, and so, he came through with an absolutely heavenly back rub.

Last, but certainly not least, was Pierce. “You remind me of a beautiful butterfly with your wings,” he said.

I smiled and thanked him for the compliment. He was a fun guy, and I liked him a lot. He was very sweet at times and often said some really lovely things to me.

I needed to do some thinking, so what better way to relax and reflect than to take my guitar outside and play for a while? It didn’t take long for me to get some company.

It looked like Laban was looking for some relaxation too. Music is something that’s very important to me, so the man I’d want to be with would have to have at least some musical appreciation. Laban seed like he was enjoying himself listening.

Unfortunately, I came to the part I liked least about all of this. I had to do the deed and send someone away.

This was a rather painful decision because I cared about Jared a lot. I just didn’t feel that special lift I was looking to feel. Any lady would be lucky to have him, and I truly hope he finds his special someone, the one he is meant to be with.
