DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.[/u][/size] My dirty little secret; who has to know?Written by Kate. ---------- Bonjour! Welcome to my very first sim-story! I really can't remember how long I've been working on this, but it's probably been a very long time! I've finally decided to start posting it, but be warned - it'll get posted very slowly. Snails pace. If I post everything I've got, I'll get stressy when I can't write anymore and will have to leave you all hanging for a few weeks. So, I'm not going to be doing that. WARNING: This story contains quite a bit of swearing and probably will eventually have some sexual references. If you don't like that sort of stuff, don't read m'kay?I hope you enjoy 'Dirty Little Secret'. It's a bit slow to get going in my opinion, but I've worked hard on it and think it's good to go! I love feedback, so once you've read it, don't forget to post your comments! Keep rocking! ~Kate ---------- Chapters of 'Dirty Little Secret'(click to go read the specific chapter! No links I'm afraid, as links make the text go funny for some reason...)Chapter One ~ Page 1 Chapter Two ~ Page 3 Chapter Three ~ Page 5 Chapter Four ~ Page 8 Chapter Five ~ Page 12 Chapter Six ~ Page 14 Chapter Seven ~ Page 15 Chapter Eight ~ Page 17 [/font][/center]

CHAPTER ONE. [/u][/center] It was a dull, rainy Thursday afternoon in mid-October as twenty-two year old Natalie McCartney sat in her work place, mindlessly tapping her fingers on the desk as she looked around for something to do. Her eyes skimmed over to the clock on the wall and she let out a deep sigh as she read it – 1:05PM. Her lunch break was at half past one and to wait another twenty-five minutes seemed to be like waiting for the world to end. Natalie lifted a hand to her head, running her hand through her jet-black hair. She let her eyes wander around the room, noticing that the other staff members were preoccupied with answering phone calls and some were typing frantically on their computers. Why couldn’t that be her? For the first time in her life, Natalie actually felt herself longing for some work that she could complete. “Bored?” A voice asked from behind her, making Natalie jump slightly. She twisted her head round to see her co-worker, Brianna Williams, staring intently at her. Brianna was a few years older than Natalie and had long blonde hair and dark blue eyes, which were hidden behind a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Brianna was an incredibly hard-working girl, who had always strived for great things. She was also one of Natalie’s closest friends, as Natalie was the one Brianna took under her wing when she first arrived at the company over four years ago. “I’ve been watching you for the last few seconds! You’ve just been sitting there doing nothing. So I’ll ask you this question: Do you want some work?” Brianna grinned, removing her glasses from her face. “You can gladly take some of my work off of my hands. I’m snowed under!” Natalie frowned and scrunched her facial features up to pull an ‘I-think-you’re-mad-why-would-I-want-more-work?’ look. “I’ll take that as a no,” Brianna assumed, letting out small sigh. “Why don’t you go for your lunch now? I’ll cover for you. If the boss comes in, I’ll say you’ve popped to the ladies. Heck, I’ll even throw in the ‘ladies troubles’ line if he hangs around for a bit.” Natalie pulled a relieved face. ‘Thank God!’ she thought. “Oh, Bree! Would you do that for me?” “Sure! After all, I know you’d do the same for me…” Brianna stopped; pausing to think about what she’d just said. She smiled softly before placing her glasses back on her face. “Hopefully, that is…!” “Oh god, thank you so much!” Natalie exclaimed, jumping up out of her seat. She grabbed her bag from inside her desk drawer and threw it over her shoulder before turning back to Brianna. “Have you been for your lunch yet?” “No, actually…” Brianna murmured, opening her desk and pulling out her purse. She opened it up and pulled out a five pound note, holding it out to Natalie. “Would you do me a favour and buy me a sandwich from Jakes? A chicken and mayonnaise sandwich would be nice…” Natalie batted the bank note away from her. “Sure, but keep your money. I’ll buy you a sandwich as thanks. I know it’s not a big thanks… but hey, Jakes sandwiches aren’t cheap!” Brianna giggled. “Thanks Nat. I don’t think I’ll have time myself, too much work…” “Don’t mention it. If you’re still snowed under by the time I get back from lunch, I’ll give you a hand.” Natalie gave Brianna a small smile before making her way towards the company elevator. “I’ll see you in an hour!”[/font]

Anti: Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, I'm glad I finally put it up too! It's been on my to-do list for ages... I finally got my butt in gear and got writing! Hopefully the next update should be in a few days. I got quite a bit of writing done today, so I'm quite ahead as far as the story goes!

I'm hooked!! It sounds great and I'm really wanting to see how a title like "Dirty Little Secret" works into this normal looking girl in her office. And your pictures are really good too, they look great! I love how you paid attention to details for them too. Where on earth did you find a window with rain on it for sims!! *EDIT: Hey Anti the one with the headband is the July Peggy donation gift one (lucky ducky Kate ) and the other I'm not sure, but it looks like a re-work of one of XMsim hair.

Anti: Thanks! Okay, Natalie (the black haired girl), her hair is donation from www.peggysims2.net . Brianna, her hair is by Miguel from Poison Pink Lemons... let me get the link... Ah ha! Here it is: ppl.abandonedgarden.com/Dizzy: Thank you!! :hug: It took me forever to do that last shot - the two male and female workers sitting at their desks kept chatting to one another! You'll soon see how the title has relevance to the story once it gets going! The rain? Oh, you can make it rain in game. It was something Maxis didn't advertise as being in game, but the mod-makers found it and created a mod named the 'weather hack'. I'll see if I can find the one I use somewhere.
