The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 10-02-2009 02:16 PM

You can read this right off, but to everyone, if you want some background on this, read A Sim's Story, then this.

This is gonna switch off and on from the point of views of Lance (whom I might call Nelson at times) and Michael Antonio. I may not tell when the POV's switch, but I will make the switches evident.

______________________________________________________________________

Lance's POV

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_1699ffab.jpg]

Well, Michael Antonio and I decided to rent an apartment together. We were single bachelors and we figured that we would save more money in the long run by just shacking up together. Heck, that money could be saved for a decent house, car trouble, entertainment, or just future savings. It would totally suck if something happened and there was hardly no money.

"Well, there is this new apartment complex in town." Michael Antonio stated. "Wanna go look at it? It's cheaper than a house, and I heard that they are really nice."

"Cool." I responded. "Let's go."

So we made a visit, and after talking to the landlord and checking out everything, we decided to sign the contract and rent the apartment. As soon as that contract was signed, the people next to us...I guess it was a couple. They started fighting.

"Harry! I'm sick of your lazy, buffalo butt!" the wife yelled at the top of her lungs.

And blah, blah, blah. The landlord finally said they were always like that, but we'll grow accustomed to them.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_f69a011d.jpg]

(Michael Antonio's POV)

Well, as soon as we gotten moved and settled in, the first thing I knew what I had to do was find a job. I had a bachelors in medicine, so...um...it kind of helped me get a job. I was to work on an ambulance. It wasn't my dream job. I didn't run into people's houses and find a very sick person, or go to the streets, where someone had been killed. Then I know a lot more deaths occur on the way to the hospital. I wanted to be a medical doctor, but I was incompetant. Like, I just couldn't make the grades to stay in medical school, which left my dad disappointed in me, then he stopped putting his hopes in me, and in Taj' and Kang instead.

"I guess I just raised you wrong." he claimed. "Or probably you have your grandma's genes."

I really do doubt I inherited my granny's genes, or else I would be having a baby on the way by now, which I don't plan on that happening in a long time.

Then my dad was disappointed on how I let myself go. I really thought I didn't let myself go, I thought I looked cute, or sexier with longer hair and heavy stubble. The women sure liked it...who were looking for a manly man.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_769a017c.jpg]

"Lance." I called him. "I can't really be the only one working. You know the bill is expensive and you know our deal."
"I know, Michael, I'm just trying to get adjusted to being without my Daddy. Being in my Daddy's house was like being in the womb, now I am a newborn baby, in the cold and away from that comfy place."

I really couldn't believe that he still called Nelson daddy instead of dad, like most men, or father. He was such a daddy's boy, but hey, his dad was like his mother.

"Well, Lance, while you are going through the transistion of being in the real world, the bills are gonna keep on coming."

Lance finally got on the computer and applied for a job. This law firm needed a secretary, and they were hiring on the spot, so Lance got the job.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_d69a01c9.jpg]

Since I gotten this new job, I had to refresh my medical terminology. So I took out all of my college books and started to get my mind refreshed.

"Lance, you need to study some law terminology."
"We don't have no books on it, Mike. I'll be okay."

One thing I learned from my father was that it was good to impress your boss on the first day. "You want to impress your boss, don't you?"

"That's his stupid fault that he hired on the spot. Did he say that the applicant needed knowledge of the law? No he didn't."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169a00fd.jpg]

Lance just decided to be bored on the sofa, because I wouldn't let him turn on the TV. Then he gotten up and looked out the window.

"My, my, my!" he shouted with excitement. "Mike, look at this chick! She is fine! She got kind of a flat booty, but she's still booming!"

I think that Lance inherited my granny's genes or his mama's. I heard his mom was like that too. "Lance, but you need to study for..."

"I'm not in school anymore! I am gonna have some fun! I'll be right back!"

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169a0264.jpg]

(Lance's POV)

This is the chick that I saw. I really hadn't saw her face yet, but hey, the face didn't matter...unless she was a really ugly chick. I could put up with kind of ugly, I was raised around women that were kind of ugly. Let's see...my mom was ugly, the twins aren't really ugly, Joana's fine and pretty, um...NaeNae was almost ugly and weird.

Anyways, I just had to meet this chick. Michael Antonio was freaking tripping! Study? Who was he? He wasn't my father.

I followed that fine chick like a magnet.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_b69a02c9.jpg]

"Hey, babe...I mean m'am, where are you heading to?"
"Well, look at what I have on, and look what's next by you, and look at the people around us? Where do you think?"
"I didn't know they had a pool here, so what's your name."
"Claudia, and I guess that you are new. I haven't saw you around here before."
"I'm Lance Carson."
"The Carsons, I never heard of them."
"Yeah, my dad kept my mom's maiden name. You see...she didn't marry his father, but she married another man, and that man's last name was Nelson, ha, um, which was strangely my father's name, and my dad couldn't be named Nelson Nelson, so he kept my mom's maiden name."
"Your family really has a story, good grief!"

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_969a02e5.jpg]

I wonder if Claudia even liked me. She wasn't bad looking herself. I thought that I was pretty cute. My dad had no looks and my mom had no looks AND she was ugly. I guess two ugly people makes a pretty baby! I wondered if she was dreaming of stroking my shiny, black hair and pinching my smooth cheeks.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169a0356.jpg]

I ran upstairs and gotten my swimshorts, and that dork was still studying. Anyways, I ran back downstairs to hop in the hot tub. I wouldn't had minded hopping in naked, but there was a man in there.

"What's up." the man greeted me.
"Awesome! And you?"
"Fine. Your voice sounds familiar."
"Well, I don't know why."
"Isn't your name Lance Carson?"
"Yeah, and where do you know me from?"
"I'm the man that hired you. You applied online and I called you. My name is James Barnes."

I was freaking upset! I had this hot chick in the hot tub that I wanted to meet even more, and my boss was in there! I had to make a good impression. I didn't want my boss to think that I was a "nasty" boy.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_769a04e7.jpg]

Instead of talking to Claudia, I ended up talking to him the whole time. We liked the same things....video games, football, and other stuff.

"Know what, you are a pretty cool person to work with!" James laughed. "I'll raise your pay by ten more dollars."

"Thank you, sir." I thanked him. That was freaking sweet!

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_d69a03a5.jpg]

I didn't know where Lance was at. I guess that he was really having a great time. Being new in these apartments, I just couldn't be anti-social, so I decided to meet my neighbors.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_969a03e4.jpg]

When the door opened, I saw a very beautiful woman.

"Hello?" she asked. "May I help you?"
"Yeah, I'm Michael Antonio Nelson, and I just moved here. I just want to greet my neighbors. Sorry to disturb you if you were busy."
"Naw, I'm not busy. It is nice to meet you, Michael Antonio? Or is it just Michael?"
"I have two first names, but I really don't mind being called one, or the other, or both."
"Can I call you Antonio? I know so many Michaels that I just don't want to get you confused with all the other Michaels I know. Um, your name seems familiar though."
"Yeah, people always say that, it's usually that they knew my grandad, but he died before I was born."
"Yeah! I am like five years older than you! Wasn't he an older man, like balding or getting bald...like um..my mom said he used to be a cute red-head who married a harlot, who probably wooed him with her "baby girl" looks."
"Yeah, that had to be him...and my grandma? A harlot? Why all the negativity towards her with everyone? And I doubt my granny was ever that cute."
"I don't know, you need to ask the old people. And you never see old pictures?"

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_b69a0464.jpg]

Then we talked even more. I heard that she was into kickboxing, so I knew not me mess with her. I wasn't gonna tell Lance though. I wanted to see Lance get kicked down the stairs for a past time entertainment. I would be the biggest star on Youtube.

"So you said your mother was Asian?"
"Yeah."
"What part is she from, Antonio?"
"I think China....Bejing."
"Hasn't she taught you Chinese?"
"Naw, really, she was the only Asian around, she always spoke English except when she was on the phone with her family."

Then we just kept on talking and talking.

lol great story. I'm so glad to see more of this family Smile

And between just two sims it'll be easier to follow, hahaha!

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 10-02-2009 03:14 PM

Yeah, this story sure did take a lot of pressure off.

I had to take a breather after following that many sims.

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - Majick - 10-02-2009 06:37 PM

lol I can imagine!

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - Chanel - 10-02-2009 11:51 PM

Nice start.
Though it's kind of unfair that Lance gets more money just because he's "cool" xD

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 11-02-2009 12:09 AM

Lance's POV

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_b69ab5e5.jpg]

Well, we both started work the next day. Michael Antonio worked at Angel's Rest Medical Center...poor him...and I worked at The Unforgiving Hammer Law Firm. Both of us were scared to death of going to work, because of the names.

"Are you ready for work?" Michael Antonio asked as he walked out the bathroom, naked. "Are you excited?"
"Dude, please, keep all of that inside of the bathroom."
"We're boys, aren't we? And we are cousins at that...we'd seen each other since we were boys."
"Like can you show me how to tie a tie?" I asked him.

He looked at me and started laughing. I knew I looked ridicilous with the tie wrapped around my neck and tied in a huge knot. "Okay." he responded. "As soon as I get some clothes on."

When we were on our way to work, Michael Antonio was acting like the dress code police. "You need to tuck in your shirt."

"Yeah, I'll do that at the office."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_f69ab650.jpg]

Well, work didn't turn out too well for me. I'd gotten fired within two hours on the job. This lawyer told me to organize these books, and well, it was a lot of unorganized books on the shelf. But then, he gave me two books. It didn't make sense to me to organize two books, so I took all the books off the shelf...yes, like five hundred books, and I organized them in ABC order. Then it was all this trash...well, I thought it was trash in this one room. I thought it was a trash room, and I put all of that in a dumpster.

Well, when he returned, he and the other lawyers were furious! Each lawyer had their own part of the huge bookcase, which I didn't know, and they were seperated because they were different people's books. Now hundreds of books were mixed up. Then for the trash...this is what gotten me fired...it was evidence for courtroom cases...and now, the evidence was either ruined or tampered with.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_369ab67a.jpg]

Then I wasn't gonna get paid, because I had cost them enough money. When I finally gotten back home, I stood in front of the building trying to come up with excuses and things to tell Michael Antonio. Oh man, I was really gonna hear it!

"I got laid off...no...um...This hot chick lawyer wanted to date me, but there was a no employee dating policy...no...crap..."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_f69ab6d9.jpg]

Then the bills came at the same time. I was really dead.

"Oh, Michael Antonio, here is our expensive bill. Unfortunately I'd gotten fired, so you will have to pay yourself."

Yeah, it would make his day and month even worse.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_969ab7c7.jpg]

I wasn't gonna sit all day at the house moping, so I decided to walk the town. My first stop was the pet store. We couldn't have pets in the apartments, but I wanted to play with the puppies so bad, and I heard that puppies attracted the best chicks.

I met this one girl who was working there. We talked, but it just didn't turn out well.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_d69ab89c.jpg]

Then I knew I met my match! I saw this one chick walking in. She had the cutest face, though her clothes weren't really feminine, and her hair wasn't really cute, nor chick-like. But I saw potential...

"Hey, what's up?" I asked her. "Are you here for a puppy?"
"No, I just love playing with the puppies after my college courses each day."
"Oh, that's nice, and how old are you?"
"21, I'm a sophomore."
"I'm Lance, and what may your name be? I bet it's just as pretty as your face."
"(chuckles) It's Ivy."
"That's hot. So you like me? What do you think about me?"
"Um..I don't know...you're good looking."
"Well, I think that you are really pretty, Ivy."
"Really?" Ivy blushed. "I have never had a boy say that to me!"
"Babe, I'm a man, and yes, it's happening now. I see that you are really modest and I like that. So let's say that you give me those digits and I'll call you."

Ivy gave up her phone number. Yep, I saw lots of potential. I learned that she was only shy and insecure about her looks, but I was gonna give her that confidence. I was going to get her to let that hair down and put on some accepted revealing clothes. I was really gonna make her confident, have her look just as pretty as her attitude.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169ab596.jpg]

(M.A's POV)

When I gotten home from work and settled in, Lance came to me with this funny look on his face.

"So how was work?" he asked.
"Like crap." I responded. "How would you feel having 5 people die on you today and dealing with their families? Then someone made a bowel movement on my clothes...I am so stressed out."
"That really sucks. Since you are in a crummy mood, I rather would tell you now. I don't want to ruin your good mood when you are in one. Well, I lost my job."
"What! Are you an idiot!!! How did you lose your job on the first day!"

Lance told me the long story.

"You are such a freaking idiot. Next time, don't touch anything if your boss doesn't say anything about it. It can be a nasty rag on a desk, just ask about it first, before touching. And the bill came in??? You really need to go back and get a job."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_569ab37a.jpg]

Well, that ruined my grocery shopping, because I was planning on buying us some decent foods, but hey, I was the breadwinner. So I bought canned foods, processed foods, and oatmeal...just cheap food.

Our dinner was oatmeal, and I couldn't cook for crap.

"Ask your mom to come over here and make us some Chinese food." Lance insisted.

"Naw, we need to depend on ourselves. It would just worry our parents if we are begging for food on the second day."

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 11-02-2009 02:29 PM

Okay, let's get the boring part out the way and introduce some rising action! Smile

______________________________________________________________________

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_d69aba90.jpg]

It had been about 5 months since I first met Ivy. At first, she was shy and she rarely talked on our dates. The only time she would talk to me was when I started a conversation, but that didn't draw me away, because when she looked at me, her look was filled with wonder, and I knew she really liked me. We didn't go into hugging and kissing until a month ago. I was a patient kind of man, I could wait for a woman, unlike a lot of men. But in our second month of dating, she started a lot of the conversations and told me a lot of secrets. Her father is Russian and her mom is African, which I found very interesting. Her father taught her Russian and Dutch and her mom taught her French, Spanish, and her native African language, so she was multilangual. I was very interesting so I would say, "Say this in such and such" a lot of the times. She is a bookworm, and she told me something that really clung to me. "I'm glad that you came into my life, Lance. You are like the first and only friend I ever had." I wasn't planning on letting her down anytime soon. Now we were in bed, well, Michael Antonio's bed. We couldn't make it to my room.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" I asked. "You know, I don't want to force you."
"Lance, just stop all the talking."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_369abaaa.jpg]

So, we started passionately kissing each other. Then I started going into her hair, trying to somehow take her hair down...she hadn't gotten to the confidence level I wanted her to be in, but it was coming.

"Lance, leave my hair alone." she mumbled.
"You are just so beautiful." I told her, out of passion and in order to build up her confidence.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169abb08.jpg]

(Michael Antonio's POV)

I finally came home from working out at the gym. I wasn't in bad shape...that ambulance keeps me in good shape, like lifting up people and pushing people and all that stuff. Sandy invited me to the gym a month ago, and we'd been going with each other ever since. We were only friends, and nothing more. I came into the house with aching muscles...I wanted to take a shower, but I just worked out too hard, and I just wanted to go straight to bed. As I walked closer to my room, there was a lot of racket going on in there. "What is Lance doing now?" I asked myself. "He is always doing something. What is it this time?"

I opened the door and saw something I shouldn't had been seeing, and it was IN MY BED!!! I was so gonna...no...he was so gonna wash my blankets and sheets...and I was gonna sleep on the sofa for a week after disinfecting that bed. I was furious, I was about to get at Lance, but the phone rang. I walked out and quietly closed the door behind me...yeah, I was gonna show him a thing or two.

It was Uncle Nelson and I flat out told him what his son was doing and that he couldn't talk. Uncle Nelson couldn't say anything...I guessed he was shocked too.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169abb8b.jpg]

When I walked back in there, Lance and her were cuddling and talking to each other. They were really about to fall asleep in my bed.

"GET UP!" I screamed at Lance. I knew who Ivy was already, and met her before, but I don't fuss at outsiders usually. And I didn't see what he saw in her! He was the one always talking about hot girls, and she wasn't.

"Crap...I didn't see you, Michael Antonio!" Lance laughed. "I'll clean your bed and everything...I am so sorry."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_569abbd0.jpg]

Then he gotten out of bed to talk to me...then she had the nerves to get out too and kissed him for a very long time.

I had to remind Lance that I was standing in front of them. "Wait for me in the living room." he said to Ivy.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_b69abc05.jpg]

"Lance! What is your problem!" I yelled. "I am so sick of you! You are a total nobody and all you do is nothing!"
"Look dude, I said that I am sorry and that I would clean up everything for you."
"Lance, it's not about the cleaning or anything! It's about morals and respect! I mean, you don't have any respect for me or my property!"
"Man, I respect you a lot, Michael, but it just happened."
"Like you two couldn't walk two more feet to your room! I am really getting sick of you and your ways!"
"What are my ways, Michael Antonio, I think that I'd been a pretty good roommate, this is only a mistake."
"Let's see, you haven't found a job yet, so I am paying all the rent. Then when I am sleeping, you want to have the music on and stuff. Then you eat up too much food! Like you do too much snacking, but also, you waste up a lot of food! I mean Oatmeal, Sprinkles, Grape, and Cherry pie! And you threw it away, and wasted up all that food!"
"I didn't taste as good as I thought. Michael, you could had told me that I was being a pain, and you know that I'd been applying."
"Like one application every two weeks!? You should be out there filling out everywhere!"
"Okay, Michael, just relax and chill. It's not all that bad, you are too emotional!"

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_b69abc4b.jpg]

For some reason, that caused me to blow up. It couldn't had been Lance's statement alone...it may had been stress from work and stress from Lance mixed up in it, and I just had to get it out. Lance wasn't hesitant to fight, and he fought back. Lance was harder than I thought, I mean, he wasn't the man for anyone just to fight!

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_d69abc64.jpg]

And I'd gotten my butt kicked.

I ran out my bedroom and started pouting on the sofa, with Ivy staring at me. I wanted to cry so bad, and it was coming, but I couldn't do it in front of a girl.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169abce7.jpg]

When Lance came out the room, he saw me trying not to cry.

"Ivy, can you wait for me outside?" he asked her. She went outside with no comment.

"I'm sorry, Michael Antonio." he apologized. "You're right, I am a pain and I realize that you are stressed out. I should had let you beat me up."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169abcbe.jpg]

"Yeah, I need to fight like you." I stated as tears flowed out my eyes.

We both started laughing and hugged each other, ensuring that everything was okay.

"Look, we are family, and this shouldn't come between us." I said.
"True that." Lance responded.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_569abd67.jpg]

Then Lance walked out the apartment, and I just had to spy on him. He and that girl started cuddling and talking on the sidewalk, looking at the sky and stuff.

Lance was a very nice boy, and Ivy was really nice herself. I knew Lance as a person, he wasn't gonna misuse any girl...he just wasn't raised like that, and he probably didn't have it in him. Plus...his "daddy" would kick his butt!

(Lance's POV)

"Are you and your cousin still okay?" Ivy curiously asked. "I mean, I didn't want to get between you two. I feel so guilty...I should apologize."
"Everything's okay, baby." I answered. "We made up and everything, so it's okay. He wasn't mad at you."
"Well, do you still feel the same way about me, Lance?"
"Yeah, I love you even more."
"What!" she squealed. "You said love! You usually say like."
"I guess things just come out. Do you feel the same about me?"
"Yeah I do, why do you think I asked you, Lance."
"I don't know. Well, I want to take you out and really treat you, like let's treat each other...as soon as I somehow get some money."

Awww, wow.

Fights and woohoo, what a story! These two are pretty interesting Smile

I can't believe they're adults now, though! It seems like only yesterday they were infants and toddlers. Aawww!

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 11-02-2009 07:00 PM

I know! It seems like yesterday when they were born!

I can't believe that they are big, grown boys either! I can just remember when I had their parents do the try for baby interaction, and I was wondering what they would be.

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - InAHeartbeat17 - 14-02-2009 04:12 AM

Wow. I love this sequel. Finally someone in your story is falling in love and it's being requited. Big Grin

It sux how stressed Micheal Antonio is.. Lance really needs a job! Lol.
