3:22 Love is in the Air

**WARNING***

This chapter contains scenes that I probably should

put the adult content warning up for. I'm not going to,

but seriously, if you're under 18 I wouldn't look at the

pictures. They hint towards adult content, although 

nothing is mentioned. You may get offended if you're

over 18 too, you have been warned.

 Kaity woke with a start. She'd not had a bad one for a while, and although there was no sound again, it broke her heart. Shaena and Rose were still asleep. Checking the time on her phone, stowed away under her pillow, she realised it was 6am. Sunday, so no need to be up yet. She knew she wouldn't sleep again, and so decided to have a shower before talking to her mother about this.

Taylor hadn't been one Kaity felt she could confide in. It wasn't that she wasn't close with her mother, it was that she worried too much. Shaena would just talk through what she'd seen with her, whereas Taylor would 'see the dangers' involved. This was one she couldn't talk to Shaena about, for obvious reasons.

 "Mum, sorry to wake you, but I need to talk to you." Taylor was a little surprised that one of the teenagers was awake so early. Her alarm was due to go off in 5, ready for her morning jog, and she was used to being the only one up before mid-morning at the weekends.

"Ok, I'm up." Taylor yawned and pulled herself up to sit, before leaning over and turning her alarm off so it didn't interrupt. It must be important if Kaity was up and dressed so early.
"It's about a dream."

Taylor scooted herself to the other side of the bed at the mention of dreams. Kaity had never spoken to her about them, and she'd never wanted to push. She knew she spoke to Shaena about them, so at least they weren't bottled up.
"I'm listening."
"Say... Say you saw something bad. But it wouldn't happen for like, ten years or something like that, and everything that happens to that person that leads to that point is good... Do you tell that person? Warn them, possibly making the time leading up to it bad... Or do you just wait?" Kaity wasn't sure if she'd made any sense, but she didn't know how to phrase it.
"I don't know. What's this about? Maybe if I had some more infor..."
"No. I'm not telling details." Kaity interrupted. "Just hypothetically. Say I saw... That Layla was going to leave Luis in ten years, and she'd take with her 3 kids. Do I tell Luis, forcing him to decide whether to leave her now, or be happy for 10 years, enjoy having children and then face the hurt? Or do I just keep it to myself and be there for him as a shoulder to cry on?" Taylor could see her daughter was torn. These dreams may have helped in some situations, but she'd never seen this far ahead as far as Taylor knew, that made things harder.
"I'd just be there for him." She finally replied. "I know it's tempting to butt in and save him before he gets hurt, but there's always that small chance he won't believe you, and resent you for those ten years. Ultimately making it harder to come to you when it goes wrong." Kaity nodded. She'd had a feeling it was the best way to do things, but speaking with her mother had helped her desicion along. Shaena would be hurt that she'd not been told sooner, but it would let her have some happiness, and Kaity would be there to pick up the pieces later.

Of course, it was hard to act natural when Alex came over later. Kaity tried to remind herself that Alex didn't know what he was going to do anyway, so what was the point in treating him any different? Maybe alarm bells should've been ringing when Kaity had found out his age.

Rose had invited her long time best friend and crush, Myles Belcher, over. Kaity was a bit jealous. He was the best looking boy in school, but her sister was one of the prettiest girls in school, so it was a good fit. Kaity couldn't see a future where they didn't end up happy together, and for that she was willing to put her own feelings toward Myles aside. They were all looks based anyway, she didn't know him like Rose did.

 "So... You asked me to dance at prom..." Rose was nervous. Why was she nervous? She'd met Myles on their first day of school, they'd been best friends ever since, why was this so difficult?

"Yes, I did." Myles was almost certain where this was going, but Rose looked so cute when she blushed. She was blushing now, wondering what to say, and her rosy cheeks burned bright against her fair hair. "And you said yes."

Rose had felt the blood rush to her face, and used her witchy powers to push it back where it belonged. She hated how she blushed so easily, having fair skin didn't help as it made it more obvious. Now was one of the times she wished she had darker skin like Kaity, then it wouldn't be so noticable.
"I did." She had no idea what to say, what if he was just asking her as a friend? "We had fun." Myles was just smiling. Grinning, almost. "What? Why are you smiling?"

The grin turned to a smirk.
"You're so insecure. Yes. I asked you to dance. Yes, we had fun. But you didn't invite me over to tell me what I already know, did you?"

"Well... No... I..." Rose just had no idea what to say now. Insecure? She wasn't insecure. "I'm not insecure, I'm like, the most uninsecure person ever."
"The most secure." Myles corrected, inwardly laughing at his friends struggle to even talk around him anymore. His feelings had changed since they started high school as much as he was sure hers had, but that didn't mean it had to be difficult to talk.

He took her hand, and pulled her close to whisper. He was sure she felt the same, but didn't want to be publicly humiliated.
"Look, Rose. I like you." Rose's heart sank. "Like, like you, like you." And rose again, beating a thousand times a second, she was sure she was about to faint.
"Like me, like me?" She breathed, judging the distance to the nearest chair, should her legs give out like she was sure they were about to.

"Yes." He replied, confidently, sensing he was right about how he thought she felt, he grabbed her other hand too, and felt her sweaty palms against his own. He stroked them reassuringly with his fingertips while he carried on. "And you feel the same, don't you?" Rose nodded, her voice failing her. "Something changed when we started high school. I... I noticed you. Do you know what I mean?" Rose nodded again. "Like, I knew you really well, and then we didn't see each other much over summer break, and when I saw you again... I just..." He took a deep breath, and a leap of confidence.

Rose was too shocked to respond. She'd never been kissed before, she had imagined it to feel slimey, weird, but it felt good. It felt right.

He pulled back a little when she didn't respond, and whispered into her mouth.
"Are you ok?"
"Uh-huh." Rose breathed back. She couldn't open her eyes. She could still feel her lips tingling, and she wanted to kiss him again. Her heart was still beating too fast, and her legs were shaking now. She thanked God he'd wrapped his arms around her now, as he was the only thing keeping her standing.

She suddenly didn't care that her mother, sister and Alex were in the room. She pulled him close and kissed him back, kissed him like she'd wanted to for a while. She was shocked when his tongue darted into her mouth, and responded by pushing her own into his.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Myles blurted out when he pulled back, he'd wanted to play his little game a bit longer, and wait for Rose to ask him, but he couldn't hold it in. He was so happy.

Throwing her arms around him, she shreiked into his ear.
"YES!" Kaity spun around, shocked at the screaming coming from her sister. She'd not been spying on them, but had known what was going on anyway. But it had never ended like this, Rose had always asked Myles, what was different?

Turning back to her mother, Kaity tried to remove the image of her sister passionately kissing Myles that was now ingrained on her mind.
"Anyway... As I was saying... Just be yourself, promise, everything ends up well." The doorbell rang before Taylor could answer. "That's her! Go get 'er, Mum!" Kaity joked, patting Taylor on the back as she walked towards the door.

Once outside, she pulled Bebe down the porch steps, remembering how many people were inside.
"Hey." Bebe smiled, and held on to Taylors hands when she went to pull them away. They'd been friends for a few years now, and they both knew they wanted more. Same-sex relationships weren't common in Sunset Valley, and although there was no stigma attached, neither girl liked being the centre of attention.
"Hey, yourself." Taylor responded, shyly.
"Look, are we gunna do this, or what?" Bebe was more upfront, she'd had relationships in the past, and Taylor was embarrassed to admit that in her late 30's she'd never even kissed someone.

Although she changed that quickly. Answering the question in the form of a peck on the cheek.

"Thank you, Taylor. Thank you for giving us a chance."

Myles Belcher:

 He's 100% townie! Pretty hot for a townie, 'eh?
Also, changed Kaity's eyebrows incase anyone noticed ;)

 Thanks for posing, Kaity! lol

And, awww, I now have all the love stories sorted, I may not bring them up again, but they are happening.
Taylor was originally going to be straight, and have her kids via normal method, until she aged to YA. When she did, she got constant love letters from women, and date invites from women, and attractions to women. Either my town is REALLY short of men, or my game is being realistic. :) 
I updated the 'behind the scenes' section, by the way. And I've renamed it 'behind the scenes gen 1-3' because the page is getting waaay too long. Will start a new one gen 4, and aim to have less outtakes. :| Lol! 

And, would anyone be interested if I uploaded my sims for download? I have them all. I save them all on their YA birthday's just 'cuz. If anyone wants any, they'll have to tell me how to upload them. I'm not very clever.
Kaity is off bounds until she's finished her gen. All the teens are off bounds right now, as they're not saved yet, but anyone else from any other gen... (I'll try and remember all CC, or just change their outfits if they're wanted)
