Love Drunk Sims 4 Style: Chapter Eleven

Chapter Eleven: Big Mistake, Very Big!

"Alex? What...what are you doing here?" Lainie tried to smile and look pleased to see him, but the disappointment bubbling inside of her was hard to dampen down. She wanted so badly for Dexter to forgive her, she wanted so badly to see him and tell him how she felt...

...but not Alex! He was her past, and she had to move on. "Well I stopped by at your house in Newcrest and the dude with the long hair told me you'd gone to stay with your parents! I can't deny I'm hurt you never told me, I mean we are a couple!" No we are not! I was just figuring some things out!

"Well, I..." Before she could finish her sentence he had pounced on her.

Trapped in his bear hug of an embrace, Lainie just let her body go limp as he prattled on about being so worried about her and how he would just die if anything happened to her. Yawn! She felt things for Alex, how could she not? He was her first love and her first lover! You never forget your first! "Oh Lainie don't ever disappear like that again, you scared me! Promise me you'll tell me first!"

"I promise!" She sighed in defeat, well maybe this time he truly could be a distraction from Dexter, because he was never going to forgive her.

Dexter wanted to forgive her, he really did! But he just couldn't get the whole sexting thing out of his mind, was that real? Was any of it real? Were his mother and Roxy right? Was Lainie his soulmate? Gah the S word, Rosalie used it all the time! He'd never thought about his ex since that cute freckly blonde came into his life. Lainie arrived two weeks after he and Rosalie split up, he wasn't sad about it like he should have been, he was just numb.

Numb, yeah that was how he was feeling right now as he sat at the bar of the club Sweet Cacophony had just performed in. Selena was hovering around, trying to catch his eye, no sign of her hot friend, she was nowhere to be seen. Come to think of it neither were Roxy, Charlotte, Drew or Ash! They'd probably all gone home and left him to drink himself stupid.

Because stupid was what his next move was! He turned to Selena and smiled, "Hey!" Her big eyes widened and she let out a tiny squeal.

"Hi Dexter!"

"Wanna join me for a drink?"

"Um, yes, of course I would love that!"

"Oh Dexter!"

"Shhh, don't speak just...shush!" Yep, stupid move! Not exactly a romantic ambiance, the ladies toilets, but Dexter wasn't thinking straight! Crazy Selena, yeah this was really crazy!

"Dexter I love you!" She moaned, and so did he only for a different reason. Why couldn't she just be quiet?

Focus Dexter, focus on Lainie! This is Lainie, she's Lainie! "Dexter..."

"For the last time woman be quiet or I'm leaving!" He lied, he needed this, he needed to feel something other than anger and hurt and disappointment. He was using this poor girl, and he really didn't care right now! He wasn't drunk enough to use that as an excuse and he wasn't sober enough to realise this was a dumb move.

A few minutes later, images of Lainie lying beneath him flooded his mind, he finally felt the release he'd been looking for as his fantasy came crashing down at the sound of Selena breathlessly mumbling his name. 

Her perfume was nice but not as enticing as his beautifully freckled housemate! The thumping music from the club throbbed in his ears as he and Selena leaned against the wall getting their breaths back. Then she spoke, "Who's Lainie?" Fuck!

"Um...what?"

"You kept saying her name..."

"Didn't I tell you to be quiet?"

"Yes but...who is she?"

"Ahh fuck this shit!" He grunted and pushed roughly away from her grip, zipping up his flies the realisation of what he'd just done hit him like a bus.

"Dexter..."

"I'm sorry Selena I have to go!"

"But...does this mean I'm your girlfriend now?" Ohhh what the fuck?

"Look this was nice, but it can never happen again okay?"

"Why?" Gawd her little face, he almost felt sorry for the psycho!

"You know why, I..." Think Dexter, think! "...I'm not over Rosalie!"

"So what was that? I'd say you're pretty over her considering you were calling out another woman's name while you were fucking me!" Shit! She wasn't as dumb as he thought she was! Damn!

"You're right, I'm sorry for being an asshole and thanks for...this!" He nodded up and down her toned figure awkwardly, yep total asshole! "I really need to go, I'll see you around okay?" She looked so sad, he almost went back to give her a hug but he needed to rip this plaster off as quickly and painlessly as possible, he didn't want her getting ideas!

But as he was leaving, a small smile appeared on Selena's lips and a hope swelled in her heart, he said he'd see her around! "So I am your girlfriend!" She whispered to herself, not this Lainie and certainly not Rosalie! Mrs Selena Maloney, it sounded almost as good as that knee trembler felt against the wall!

"Yep, see you around...hubby!"

"Are you sure she isn't home?"

"Ashton, trust me okay? If Selena was home I would know about it!" Ash looked around the room nervously, listening out for Erin's crazy housemate.

"Look you don't have to live with her if you don't want to."

"What do you mean by that?"

Ash took a long breath then dove in, "We have a spare room, if you took it then that would mean we'd be living together and it's the perfect cover for us...you know...spending time together!" Erin felt her eyes begin to fill up.

"Are you serious?" She whispered.

"Yeah, it makes sense and...to be honest I would l-like to have you around, it would be fun!" He shrugged.

Erin threw herself into his arms and cried, "Oh Ashton, yes! Yes I will take that room!" Wow, it was almost as if Ash had proposed the way she was carrying on. But this was a huge step for him, a real commitment.

Over an hour after Ash had left, Erin was trying to come up with a way to tell Selena she was moving out when the door slammed shut and she heard her dulcet tones echoing up the stairs, "Ohhhh Erin you will not believe what has happened!" She let herself into Erin's room and sighed happily.

"What?" She had a goofy smile on her face and her cheeks were flushed, was she drunk?

She threw herself down on the couch and sighed, "Dexter made love to me and now I'm going to marry him!" Erin could hardly believe her ears.

"He what now?"

"In the toilets at the club, he's my boyfriend now!" What bizarro world was this? Dexter hated Selena, what was happening?

Erin shot up and headed for the door, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

"Aww don't be jealous, when I am Mrs Dexter Maloney I'll get you a date with my brother-in-law!" She giggled, what the hell?

Once she was safely in the bathroom, Erin called Ash. "Hey it's a little late, luckily I'm in bed and no one can hear me soooo..." He chuckled as Erin began to talk over him.

"Zip it we have a problem!" There was nothing but silence on the other end. 

And then he finally spoke, "What kind of...problem, have you changed your mind about the room?"

"What? No, it's about your brother!"

"Dexter?"

"No your other brother, yes Dexter...and Selena!"

"Um, those two names don't belong in the same sentence..."

"Well they friggin' do now! She just came home claiming she had sex with your brother in the club toilets and they're an item, oh and get this...they're getting married!" More silence on the other end, "Ashton, what the hell is going on???"

After a very long shower, Dexter lay down on his bed and tried to block out what he had done. Did he really have sex with Selena against a wall? Boy was he regretting it now, not only because he couldn't stand her but because he'd taken advantage of her. A hard bang on his door made him jump as Ash yelled, "Come out here Dexter I wanna talk to you, NOW!" Fuck!

Dexter appeared in the hall looking ashamed, "Hey, what's up?" As if he didn't know.

"What's up? Apparently you, up Selena the scary stalker???" Ohhh fuck!

"Shit, did someone see us?"

"No!" Ash looked disgusted, "Erin told me!"

"Who's Erin?" And now he looked embarrassed.

"Never you mind we're talking about you here, getting involved with a fan...again! Okay technically..."

"Waitwaitwait! Who.Is.Erin?" Stalemate!

"She's...a girl who has shown interest in the spare room and she happens to be friends with Selena who happens to think that you're gonna marry her!" There, dodged that one good!

"It was just sex, it only lasted like two and a half minutes at best! How does that translate as a marriage proposal?" Dexter gave his big brother a puzzled look.

"She's not playin' with the full deck you tool, and judging by your antics tonight neither are you!"

"So, how did you meet this Erin?" Oh hell, Ash had to admit his little brother was a crafty little bastard.

"We...at a gig! She was complaining about her roommate and I may have mentioned we have a spare room, so she asked if she could have a look at it and...look would you want to live with Selena? No don't answer that, considering you were balls deep in her earlier tonight...Jesus I feel sick!"

Dexter looked down at the ground and mumbled, "I'm sorry, I was lonely..."

"Then call Lainie you ass hat! Don't poke your dick in the first crazy woman that passes by, sort yourself out and STAY AWAY FROM FANS!!!" Did that sound hypocritical at all? Ash hoped not.

Dexter sat down on his bed and began composing a text to Lainie, she'd been gone a few days now and had only spoken to Roxy once over the phone. He wanted so badly to talk to her, but he didn't know where to start.

So he just kept it simple, and hoped that she would reply.

Lainie's phone beeped as she left Alex in bed to wander around, it was after 1am and he had just gone to sleep, but she couldn't. He had insisted on taking her to Sulani for a couple of days to get away from everything. The beach house was beautiful and the views breathtaking.

She checked the message, it was from "Roky" AKA Dexter, why was he messaging her? To give her a piece of his mind? And why so late? As she read it, she felt even more confused. Hope you're doing okay? What did that mean?

She ignored it and went back to bed, tears formed in her eyes as she tried to close them and sleep. Alex, seemingly awake, whispered "You okay babe?"

"Yes!" She sniffed and wiped a tear away.

"What's the matter? Is it that text?"

"No, I'm fine!" Alex snuggled into her and she could feel his hot breath on her shoulder. 

She couldn't tell him that she had received a message from Dexter, she couldn't tell him that she regretted sleeping with him and wished it was Dexter instead. All she could do was lie there and...lie! "I'm just missing my friends, Roxy and Charlotte!" 

Alex seemed to buy this lie as he pecked her neck and mumbled, "Well you can see them next week, for now enjoy Sulani and enjoy us!" She wished she could feel the way she used to about him, but that spark had died, it died the minute she clapped eyes on Dexter William Maloney. And now no other man would compare!

Ash was introducing Erin to everyone as the new housemate. She had signed the tenancy agreement and was now officially living there. Charlotte was fussing over her, clearly missing Lainie and hoping for a fellow cook to help her in the kitchen, only problem was Erin was no cook, she burned water!

Ash casually asked his brother about Lainie and her living status, "So do you think Lainie is coming back?" Dexter gave him a dirty look.

"What?"

"Y'know, do you reckon she's gonna want her room back? Or..."

"The room is off limits, indefinitely! Now back off!" Dexter stomped off leaving Ash a little shocked, but also smug. He was still in love with Lainie, despite his dalliance with Selena, he was still crazy about the girl who lived across the hall.

Dexter threw himself on the bed and sighed heavily, his phone pinged and he almost threw it across the room but something made him check it...

...Lainie! She was with Alex the snake, well Dex did tell her they were made for each other. He didn't mean it, she was made for him...and only him!

He wanted her back, being without her hurt so much. He missed her, he missed her as CookieGurl too! How could he have been such an idiot? Of course she was real with him, of course it wasn't a game! He quickly texted her back...

He hovered his finger over the send button, should he? Fuck it! He clicked it and now it was out in the ether, no backsies! Now all he had to do was wait, hope, and wonder if she would ever text back.

"Freckles I love you!" He mumbled as he closed his eyes and pictured her smiling back at him, that cute little giggle and the way she scrunched up her nose. Please text me back, please love me back!

Lainie stood on the beach going over the most recent text she got from Dexter, over and over. He wanted her to come home, he missed her, did that mean he forgave her? She had tried to switch off and give in to Alex, allowing him to do whatever he wanted with her.

She would close her eyes and imagine her Dexy instead and the things they had texted each other that night when it got a little NSFW, it made things a little easier. It wasn't fair on Alex, it wasn't fair on anybody! But maybe she would learn to love him again...

...maybe he was the key to getting over pretty little Dexter Maloney! But the way she felt right now, she very much doubted it!

To Be Continued...

Eeek, Dexter you naughty boy! Awww, Lainie you silly girl! Next chapter Lainie returns from Sulani to a warm welcome, including from Dexter, but how do they get past CookieGate?
