Day 4

Well, Olivia woke up a bit late today. So she's a tad more broody than normal. Despite my efforts at telling her to get up, she blatantly refused. She is now unable to have breakfast, otherwise she'll be late for work. 

Don't give me that look, Olivia, it's not my fault you wouldn't get up. As you can see, she's poutily ignoring the audience and myself. Whatever.

Nonetheless, today turned out to be a good day. Olivia was promoted to Office Assistant. All those late nights at the library were a good thing! Congrats, Olivia! She's looking quite chuffed with herself here, while making food. We decided we should go out and celebrate tonight. She deserves it.

Seems Olivia decided on a salad. Watching those calories, are we? Olivia? She responded with a coy "maybe." Smile.

While you're doing that, I'm going to fix our square a little. Expand it out, and add some colour to those walls me thinks. 

Ta-Da!

Much better, wouldn't you agree? Olivia didn't seem to care much. :( Clearly it's all about the salad.

Quick bath, a change of clothes and off to the pub to celebrate for an hour or so. You look absolutely gorgeous Olivia! "You really think so?" she uncertainly pondered. "YES." I assured her.

Satisfied with herself and my assurance we had her call a taxi.

When we finally got there, the place was ... well... dead. Olivia wasn't impressed at all.

"Oh well, entire bar to yourself. I'm sure it'll pick up soon." I reassured her.

-- Next minute -- Hellooooooo townies! See? Told you Olivia. :P She just looked at me.

I gave Olivia back her free will. Of course talking to a man is the first thing she decides to do. *insert dramatic eye-roll here.* His name is Liam. Seemed .......nice enough. They chatted pretty much the entire night.

 Potential mate, maybe? Olivia gave me that "look." Yes, Olivia, he was definitely cute, perhaps they could have a little fun, but it too early to tell or decide if he'd make a good potential partner. 

He also has absolutely no idea on her current life venture. Neither of us knew if he'd be able to handle it or not.

After several hours of constant chatting, they were interrupted by another fellow. (Where are the potential female friends?!)

Turns out they work together in the same office, just different departments. "I can't believe we work together!" Olivia expressed. "I'm surprised I haven't seen you around the office." Aiden responded, a hint of flirtatious teasing in his voice.

Before long Aiden had Olivia laughing uproariously at some joke or whatnot about work. She really had no idea that some of the managers, at least were decent people. He seemed far better than her own manager.

They talked and talked and talked and laughed. Liam looks a bit awkward there in the background, if I do say so myself.

After an hour or so, they decided to include Liam in the banter. (Aww, bless their little cotton socks!) That's really kind of you Olivia, remembering that not everyone works at the same place, nor do they all know the same people.

The night rippled into the early hours of the morning and as such, Olivia needed to head home. I really didn't enjoy breaking up her fun evening, but if we were to keep on top of needs and emotions, we'd have to head off home.

Olivia (for a change) didn't seem to have any complaints. I waved my hand in front of her face and yet still, her expression remained like this. Someone's a little struck, I think. But with who?!

Eventually Olivia's thoughts returned to reality, and she went to bed. G'night, Olivia!

Day Three

Up bright and early for a new day at the Office. Olivia didn't seem to impressed about waking up so early herself. Some people really do not know how to appreciate a good sunrise.

Anyway, how we doing Olivia? What's for breakfast?

Mac and Cheese? Interesting choice, Olivia. Needs a LOT of salt too apparently. Once Olivia had made and eaten breakfast, she followed her morning routine; a shower and all that other morning stuff. She seemed a lot better as the hour progressed.

...Especially with a surprise phone call from Christian. She doesn't remember giving him her number but from the looks of it she really doesn't seem to mind.

Once she had gotten off the phone, she prepared herself for work.

Looking good, Olivia! You strut into that office with confidence, girl!

As always, the day went by extremely quickly. Olivia had, for the most part a very busy day. It was tough being the new girl in the office. Especially seeing as you're usually the one that gets all the worst duties. We know, it sucks being the new girl doesn't it, Liv.

With a droll mumble and a sarcastic facial expression she agreed.

At this point I decided to help give Olivia a little bit of direction. Because, well, sometimes a sim needs the guidance of their creator. Plus, it was me who put her into this situation in the first place.

 How about we freshen up, calm down a little?

"Fine, whatever." She replied, and proceeded to try "calm down."

Once you've calmed down we can head down to the library. I know you probably don't want to hear it but you have more paperwork to do.

"You can't be serious??!" She exclaimed with an exasperated sigh.

 Sure, you need to do some work, but maybe we'll see Christian again...

"Hmm... perhaps.." She coyly agreed.

So off we went.

There seemed to be a lot of free computers this time. And look who's here! Naturally Olivia picked the computer closest. I thought she'd begin chatting to him, but it seems not.

Straight down to business instead. I suppose that's smart thinking, Olivia. Get work out of the way before distracting yourself with unrelated things, and then never getting it done.

At some point throughout the session, Christian looked as though he was going to say something. Nope, he didn't. Despite clearly recognizing her as the girl from the library yesterday. Olivia either did not notice, or pretended not to. Hm.

Eventually (and painstakingly to watch) Olivia finished her paperwork. Bit chuffed with yourself, are we Liv?

She just smiled.

Olivia looked over at Christian. He appeared to be quite engaged with whatever he was doing on the computer. This time, it looked as though Olivia was going to say hello.

Alas, she did not. And chose to play Sims Forever instead. Excellent marketing skills right there, Olivia.

Eventually she picked up Painting: Volume one, received a skill point in painting, woo. Then finally, she decided to talk to Christian. I gave her a helping hand to tell a joke to break the awkwardness. Seems it was hilarious enough to give her a skill point in comedy. You go, Olivia.

In the end, Olivia and Christian had a wonderful conversation. Olivia told him all about her tiresome day at work. Mimicking her boss and detailing all the nitpick snobs she has to deal with on a daily basis. Christian seemed happy to just sit there and listen. (What a swell guy.) 

...Unfortunately for Olivia, our needs were dropping quite low, and the sun had disappeared rather quickly behind the horizon. She was pretty sad about me forcing her to say goodbye and head home. 

Once arriving back to The Square, Olivia realized she was hungry. What's for dinner tonight, Liv?

Cereal apparently D:

Brushing of teeth, a change into pyjamas and a climb into bed followed shortly thereafter.

Sleep tight, Olivia!

Day Two.

We brought a fridge, yay.

Olivia stood there for a while, simply admiring it in all it's cheapness beauty.

Seeing as we don't own a computer yet, Olivia decided to head down to the local library to 'file the latest reports' task for work. Much to her dissatisfaction all the computers were taken.

So we decided to roam around a bit until one was free. After a few contemplative sim minutes, Olivia decided to sit down and analysis Cooking: Volume 1. Despite there being a cute guy sitting across from her, apparently this cooking book was of much greater interest.

She was even oblivious to the fact a woman was beside her who seemed to be crying over some seemingly horrible Internet conversation.

Oh Olivia, forever the considerate one. >_>

Several hours pass and still no free computer. Don't these people get hungry, or something?

"Oh, hey!" She finally realised the man sitting across from her. Ever the observant one, Olivia.

For some reason they needed to entirely switch seating to say hello.

Around the time of the introduction, a woman upped and left allowing Olivia to sit down and finally fill out those reports. She managed to maintain a conversation with the gentlesim, who's name was Christian. 

He seemed quite sad. (Why are townies always sad?!)

After some time though, Christian seemed to have cheered up and by the looks of him, he's thought to himself.. 'not a bad sort...she seems nice..' I don't think the same could be said for the woman in the background though who randomly decided to join their conversation. Clearly she looks like she's wanting Christian's attention.  

Seems she didn't think much of he and Olivia talking between themselves either. 

Nonethless, Christian was happy to oblige to the lady, and Olivia didn't seem to care either. (Such a good sport.)

In fact she too did her best to include the woman in their conversation. Explaining to her about their sheer love for cupcakes. (How kind of them both!)

Eventually the woman left, and Olivia and Christian were back to chatting amongst themselves. Things seemed to be going well, until..

The conversation trailed off into what looked like an almost awkward silence. Christian decided to pick up a book and read instead. (how cute)

"Should I start up conversation again?" Olivia thought to herself.

Nope, bugger it, apparently. She's gone to the bathroom instead. (Christian looks to either be entirely engrossed in his book now, or perhaps a little fond of Olivia. What do you think?)

After a bit of time she came back out. She must have been talking herself up or something, because she sat down again and engaged in conversation with Christian.

After another hour or so of chatting, the two shared goodbyes and went their separate ways.

A little time later, another gentlesim sat down. Olivia wasted little time introducing herself. Hmm. A lot faster than with Christian that's for sure.

Turns out his name was Nathaniel. Didn't seem interested in talking for long though. He upp'd and left mid conversation to get a book. Quite rude if you ask me. Oh well.

It was closing in on dinner time, and Olivia was getting hungry. So we decided to head back to "the square" to prepare a feed.

Whatcha making there, Liv?

"Uhh..."

"Umm.. toasted cheese, I think?"

It looks alright Liv. Go on try it.

Olivia sat down on her bed and agreed, "not bad at all!"

I made Olivia go bathe, brush her teeth and generally prepare for bed. She seemed to want to stand around for a time playing with her phone.... in the bathroom... Alrighty, whatever floats your boat, Olivia.

(Oh, as you can see we added some walls to the bathroom too. Forgot to mention that! Decided to change the colours around too.)

After more time that both she and I would like to admit playing around with her phone, Olivia went to bed concluding day two.
