Thanks for the comment Shibby, I'm glad you like it! I hope you keep reading.Chapter 2: Getting into the groove
Lucy and I have been getting along great! She comes over alot now, but sometimes she comes when I am at work. I have discovered that she and I have alot of things in common, very good legacy material indeed. I am getting bored of my beach bum job so I hope the morning paper has my dream job in it. If I see one more grain of sand I am going to go out of my tiny mind! Ok, enough venting. Since this not so cool job of mine gave me a small bonus, I connected my electric and now I am going to ask Lucy for a date.
Me: Hey Lucy, how are you doing?
Lucy: (water running in the background) Oh fine. Just washing dishes.
Me: Hey, uh, I was thinking, maybe you would like to go to the diner with me? For a...a..
Lucy: Are you asking me out?
Me:Um...yea something like that. So what do you think?
Lucy: Of course. Let me just gussy up and I will meet you there.
Woo hoo! She said yes! I am one lucky guy! Hopefully....
I better clean the house before I leave, just in case the date goes very well. *winks*
Ok...house is clean, now lt me check the paper while I wait for the taxi. I better search quick because the taxi seems to move at the speed of lightning.
Gas station attendant, nope, dishwasher again..whats with that job? It seems like they always need dishwashers! They must have a million dirty dishes....no way...yes...it is!! Medical Technician! I grabbed the phone before I could blink twice, called the hospital and I got the job! Yes! and they pay is much better! This is truly my lucky day...a date and a dream job..this is awesome.
I am floating on cloud 100! Forget about cloud 9! As soon as I got out of the taxi Lucy ran over to me and gave me a big hug. I hugged her a little longer, because she smells like sunshine and lemons...very nice.
Me: I am so glad to see you *inhales*
Lucy: I'm glad to see you too Ian. You act like we haven't seen each other in years!
Me: Ha ha ha...*nervous* sorry. I just like seeing you.
We went inside and got comfy at one of the tables. I just couldn't stop smiling. She is so pretty ya know, and I just didn't think she would give me the time of day. I am a lucky guy. I watched her as she scanned the menu. She took her time with everything, even talking. I am patient though.
Lucy: I think I want....hmmm...ribs. That sounds good. Kind of messy.
Me: Yea it is.
I quickly looked at the menu to see how much it cost. I know i sound like a cheapskate but I got a SMALL bonus not a big one! Phew ok its only 18 simoleans...not bad. I go the cheap route and settle on a bowl of rice. Hahahaha yea very cheap.
Lucy at those ribs like it was going out of style! Wow...if we get married I hope our kids don't eat like that. We will never have food in the house! I just nibbled at my rice.
Lucy: (Mouth full) Mmmm..this food's good. (gobble slurp)
Me: Yea looks like it *calmly nibbles*
Lucy: (burps) Ooh! Sorry I didn't expect that.
Me: Oh no problem, nothing wrong with a little-
Lucy: *BURP*
Me: Umm..burp.
Even though she eats and burps like a trucker, I still thinks she's pretty. I know..you think I am desperate huh? Well I am not...just...lovestruck?
After lunch we decided to dance. She taught me some moves, which was cool. I admitted to her that I couldn't dance worth a rip. We danced until our legs started to ache.
Me: Hey do you want to play some pool?
Lucy: (small burp) sure! I warn you though, i am pretty good.
Me: We will see about that!
I got to break, which was a good advantage. Is Lucy checking me out? I think so. I looked over to her and she quickly looked away, and i could see her blush! Yes, she was checking me out! I almost lost my grip on the pool stick, which made her laugh.
She won the game, like I expected. But look what I got for a second place prize! This is better than the door number 3 prize on Let's Make a Deal! Wooooow!
This time I kissed her first. Don't we look cute together?
Lucy: I wish we could dance like this forever, don't you Ian?
Me: Mmhmm *Inhales*
Lucy: I..really like you alot. Like a Whole bunch and stuff!
Me: Mmhmm...I like you too. A whole lot.
I definitely know what I have to do now.
The next night, after I came home from my awesome new job, I asked Lucy to come over. I decided to make us official. I just hope she doesn't run off into the night like a petrified deer.
I was so excited to see her that I kissed her.
Lucy: mmmph! Ian! wow!
Me: Oh sorry. You are just so beautiful and all...I couldn't help it.
Lucy just smiles.
As soon as we got in the house, I got on one knee, a little wobbly because I was nervous, and said,
"Lucy, I know we have only known each other for a week, but I feel that we are perfect for each other. Will you marry me?"
She jumped and down and squealed. She was so excited, saying yes over and over again. I put the ring on her finger, my hands shaking. I never thought that propsing would be so hard! I just hope she doesn't mind that I bought her ring from the pawn shop. What?! That's all I could afford!
She jumped into my arms when I asked her to marry me tonight. I thought I was going to drop her! I think I need to work out, especially if she is in the habit of jumping on people.
I invited my friend Randy over to be a witness to our "wedding". He went straight to the chess board, watching us with one eye.
Me: I, Ian Camden take you Lucy Spitzig to be my wife...Hey Randy you payin attention?
Randy: Yea..sure..checkmate!
Me: Pfft....anyways, I promise to be with you forever and ever, even when you are sick with the plague.
Lucy: And I, Lucy Renee Spitzig, take you Ian Camden to be my husband, forever and ever, until the grim reaper takes us from this earth.
Awww isn't she sweet? I know for sure that I picked the right woman to help me with my legacy.
Randy peeked up from the game and clapped a couple times before going back to the chess game. Geez he's not a lively guest is he?
The big kiss after the ceremony..wow I am still buzzing from that kiss.
After the ceremony, I gave a new outfit as a wedding gift. She put it on right away, and fixed her hair all up. Isn't she beautiful? She also brought in 13,000 simoleans! Man she didn't tell me she was loaded!
