Heartbroken-Part 2, 2005

Lovar, spring, 2005

Susie was beyond pissed. How could she have lost her virginity to such an idiot as Bill. She tried to avoid the voice in her head annoyingly singing "I told you so". Yea, so maybe she shouldn't have allowed things to go as far as they did, especially considering that Bill impregnated her foster sister. Ugh. Thankfully, spring break had arrived and she took some of the money from her trust fund to finance the trip. It would be three simdays of bliss and beach.

It didn't take long, once she was settled in her hotel room, to find her way to the bar. She wasn't drinking her sorrows away, but what use is a tropical vacation without one of those fruity drinks with an umbrella.

She noticed him, of course. How could she not? His bright red hair was shining in the tropical sun and she was curious why he kept his jacket on in such heat. She tried to ignore him, after all, the last red headed man she got involved with was a jerk.


He was doing the same, trying not to be hypnotised by her smile as her eyes wandered around the island. Finally when he couldn't contain himself, he turned to her.

"My name is Walli, what brings you out here?"

Susie sighed, irritated that he broke into her bubble, yet ecstatic. "I'm on spring break."

"Oh, a college student. I remember coming here as a student. There are a few spots you don't want to miss."

"Like what?"

"The ocean, first and foremost. Have you taken a dip yet?"

"No, not yet."

"Good gracious, woman! What are you waiting for!"
Susie didn't know why she waited so long to jump into the salty seawater. Maybe the allure of the fruity drink with the umbrella distracted her. She tried to ignore the little voice in her head insisting that she leave the water. She was used to that voice. Silly scientists, she thought, water wasn't so bad for blue aliens.

"I hope you don't think this is silly," Walli began. "I find that sometimes when I build sandcastles everything else just fades into the background, allowing me to truly enjoy the moment."

Susie had to agree. She hadn't thought about Bill or Krissy. She should have known better. Why did she think it would be different. After all, she was the other woman, not the rightful girlfriend, but the home wrecker.

"I think a few more buckets of sand and we'll have ourselves a sandcastle." Walli said bringing another bucketful from the shore.

Susie nodded, but her thoughts went back to Bill. How dare he lead her along? Did he really just use her and spit her out? Ugh, she didn't want to think about it. How did men like him exist and be comfortable with themselves. That's at least three women he slept with, she thought counting herself, Krissy and Faith. How could he be so callous?

The sandcastle was finished before she knew it. "It looks beautiful, just like you."

Susie smiled at the compliment. Perhaps she could even the score, three for three.

"Do you want to watch the sun set?" Walli asked.

"Of course," she replied. This would be too easy, men were always after woohoo. Now it was her turn to have a little fun in spite of Bill's actions.

"Beautiful..."

"Yea..."

Susie chewed her lip a little, how would she broach the subject. "My room has a hot tub if you want to relax a bit."

Walli grinned, "sure."

Susie was nervous as he slipped into the hot tub. It was too late to back out now.

"This isn't your first time, is it?" Walli asked.

Susie shook her head. It wasn't, unfortunately that honor had gone to a jerk.

*****

The next day, Susie spent her time on the beach, enjoying the warm sun and the sound of the waves. Walli had left quickly afterwards, thankfully he didn't go through the pretense of saying that he would call. He left it as it was, a spring break fling.

She turned over to get more comfortable when she saw him. He was staring as if in a daze.

"Excuse me," she coughed.

"I'm sorry...I...wow...so beautiful..."

Susie cocked her head and smirked, maybe he would be number three in her quest.

His name was Sam and like Walli, he was visiting the island. Susie didn't find out too much about him besides his name. Instead spilling the whole sad story about Bill in front of the resort.

"He's a jerk," Sam agreed, at the same time wondering how did one guy get so lucky to be involved with so many women.

Susie was glad he passed the first test and invited him to her room to chat in a more comfortable atmosphere.

Sam wasn't stupid, he knew what it meant and was fully on board.

"You are legal, right?" He asked. "I don't want to go to jail."

Susie assured him that she was legal.

Later that afternoon, Sam was long gone. Some excuse about other obligations, Susie didn't really care, as long as she was gone. She felt dirty...as if she had done something wrong.

"There's nothing wrong with woohoo," she reassured herself as she scrubbed her body clean in the shower. Even so, she couldn't help but be disappointed in herself. Two different men, two meaningless acts, less than 24 simhours.

To erase her disappointment, Susie made an appointment for a beach side massage.

"A full hour please, none of that counting my time in the dressing room as part of my time."

The man nodded and quickly directed Susie to the table.

As he placed hot stones on her back, Susie breathed in deeply. Her body began to relax as the sound of the pounding waves, the smell of the salty air and the cooling breeze combined. She didn't remember much more except her attendant gently tapping her.

"Did you enjoy it?"

Susie nodded, wiping away the drool.

"While you're here, you should visit some of the sights. I know a lot of tourists don't leave the resort, but there's an whole island for you to explore."

Susie nodded, "I'll remember that."


Susie took him up on his advice and spent her last day exploring the island. She walked to the Abandoned City and felt a jolt of familiarity. This was the same set of ruins she visited as a teen with her family. It felt good to see something familiar, especially when the thought of Bill and Krissy popped in her head.

"Jerk," she mumbled making her way into the cheesy tourist shop.

"Welcome! Don't forget to try our native jewelry!"

Susie smiled politely, "thank you."

She had hoped that this vacation would clear her head of Bill and his betrayal, yet it only proved to be more upsetting. Her tally was now at three, just like she assumed Bill's was, but she wasn't any happier, or felt any better.

She knew that she would still have to face him when she returned. To make matters worse, from all her sneezing, she was sick. What a way to end a vacation, sick and the fingerprints of two unknown men still clinging to her skin.

Susie is the first in the ROS: Hood infected. I figured that she would bring some sort of tropical disease to the hood.

Ugh, I would kill for a massage like that. Surrounded by the tropics, sigh. Reminds me of the hubby's homeland.

Susie is a mess. She wanted to woohoo with 3 sims, which is the number of sims that she knows Bill woohoo'd with (he's been with more). Susie's romance/family, so she's rolling all these crazy conflicting wants. Romance sims are the hardest for me to play since I try to find out the reason for them to woohoo the entire hood. Ugh, they drive me insane.

What sims drive you insane in your hood? Why?
