Anti: Thank you. :hug: I think you're referring to Jonah, too. Hehe. The furniture in the living room is a mix of in-game Maxis stuff. The sofas are from www.holysimoly.com and then the whole of the Kitchen stuff is Maxis-made content too. Thanks for reading guys. I'll try to update again for you all soon.

ANNOUNCEMENT. Okok, before I burst into my full scale announcement I have to say this: I am so SO very sorry! Due to a number of in-game annoyances, game problems and lack of time, I have decided to stop updating and archive this story. Recently I have encountered a lot of problems with my game. First my custom neighbourhoods wouldn't work. I tried everything - removing my custom downloads, reinstalling the game... but nothing worked. And now - a new problem freshly discovered today - my TAB key won't work in game. That makes it hell for trying to take screenshots, as it's just not doing anything. Without being able to use the TAB key I feel lost; I can't get into that camera mode and take good shots. I hate not being able to do this since I'm quite a perfectionist and have to be happy with anything before I do something else. I'm really sorry. Another reason why I have chosen to do this is simply because I'm starting back at school next week, and therefore I won't have as much time to come on here anymore. The internet is going to get kicked aside whilst I concentrate on my studies. I need to stay in school and learn so I can then get a job and earn lots of money! And lots of money means a happy Kate... But seriously though, I'm sorry to all of who were reading this. I hate to end it like this, but I really have no other choice. Meanwhile, you've got loads of other great stories on here to read! Go read the stories written by other members! At least they can update better than me! Anyway, better end this now. I'm sorry again, guys.

Aww.... it's ok kate. We understand completely. I, mys\elf might need to archive my story. A good story isn't good without good resources for the writer. So, if you not happy with the results of your pictures then you shouldn't have to update. We'll truly miss you story, and maybe next summer when we all have more time you can start again.

Oh dear lordy, lordy. I do believe DLS is back!
Hallo. Um, I'm not completely sure what to say... just that I'm reviving Dirty Little Secret from the dead! It's the Christmas hols; I'm finally able to have time to sit down and write. I've actually been planning a "come back" for a while now, and today is the day I feel like doing so.
Anyway, I recommend reading from the beginning and working your way through before reading Chapter 6... as tiny little details might have been forgotten. I know I had to read the story through again, and I'm the writer!
I hope you enjoy Chapter 6, and um... please excuse the "oopsies" in pictures 1 & 2... silly Kate changed the mirror and lucky cat and added shoes. Then she forgot to update second picture. DOH! Also forgive the big chunk of pictures at the top of the chapter... it's been a while since I've taken pictures too. DOH x2!
CHAPTER SIX.
“Right,” Madeline announced, putting the finishing touches on Natalie’s hair. She twirled a strand of hair around her finger before tucking it carefully clipping it back using a hair-clip. Once satisfied, Madeline lifted her hands away from and above Natalie’s head, as if she was going to crown her. “There you go, your majesty. What do you think?”
Natalie smiled, carefully getting to her feet. Madeline pushed her chair back under her desk whilst Natalie played with her bangs in the mirror. Turning round to face Madeline, Natalie let out a contented sigh. “It’s really nice Mads. Thank you. I look as if I’m about to get married, though…”
“Perfect!” Madeline grinned, crossing her arms. “Now it’s my turn to go get ready. Taxi will be here in ten, chick!”
Natalie waved Madeline out of her room, watching her happily as she shut the door. She grabbed a tube of lip gloss and wiped the brush over her lips before pursing them together and blowing herself a kiss in her mirror. Natalie giggled to herself.
Madeline had tied Natalie’s hair up into a bun at the back, purposely leaving her bangs and some other strands out of the bun to frame her face. Madeline had also curled some of the strands of Natalie’s hair, clipping them back to hang around Natalie’s bun. Natalie’s make-up style was quite simple. The girls had opted for the ‘minimum’ look – some pink blush on Natalie’s cheeks, a layer of mascara and a coat of clear lip gloss on her lips. Madeline had also advised her to take out her lip piercing for the evening, to make a decent impression on her ‘parents’.
Natalie had just finished applying her lip gloss when the doorbell rang. ‘Taxi’s a bit early…’ she thought to herself as she read the clock on the adjacent wall – it was only 8:21PM. Grabbing her keys, she exited her room, remembering to switch her light off after her. She stood outside Madeline’s door. “Mads, I think the taxi’s here!”
“Oh!” Madeline exclaimed, “Shit. Could you go answer the door and tell the taxi driver we’ll be another five minutes? I don’t think Bree’s ready yet either!”
Natalie nodded. “Okay!”
She walked through the hallway and out into the living room, making her way straight towards the front door. She struggled with the door for a few seconds before opening it with a vicious tug, mumbling a few obscenities under her breath.
Natalie looked up to see Jonah standing facing her, a bright grin on his face. “Jonah? W-What are you doing here?”
“Do you know what time it is?” He asked.
“Do I know what time it is?!” Natalie repeated, a perplexed expression on her face. “Not exactly…? It’s about eight-twenty something, because I just looked at the clock and it was 8:21 I think…”
“Well…” Jonah continued, showing Natalie his watch. “It’s exactly 8:22PM. Our first ever date started at 8:22, don’t you remember? I arrived early and had to sit in the living room and chat with the crazy Madeline whilst you finished getting ready. You emerged from your room at 8:20 and we left your flat at 8:22.” Jonah’s grin grew wider as he watched Natalie’s mouth drop wide open. “Happy Anniversary.”
Natalie shook her head in disbelief. “No way. I thought you’d–?”
“Forgotten?” Jonah interrupted, “Nah, not me. Why on earth would I want to forget our anniversary?”
Natalie’s expression soon turned into a frown. She put a hand to her head, trying to comprehend the situation. A few moments later she sighed. “But I’m supposed to be going out to Madeline’s parents for dinner…?”
“Nope,” Madeline declared simply, appearing from behind Natalie. She stood by her side, putting her hands on her hips. “As you can see, I haven’t changed into a different outfit, I haven’t spoken to my mother in months so she probably doesn’t think I still exist and Bree isn’t even home, if you’d even bothered to check her bedroom!” Madeline threw her hands up in the air. “SURPRISE!”
“Surprise indeed,” Jonah agreed, grabbing Natalie’s waist and pulling her into his body. “Come on, Nat. We’re going out for dinner to celebrate!”
“Where are we going?” Natalie requested, looking between both Madeline and Jonah. “I don’t think I can take any more surprises.”
“You’ve got a table booked at The Boardwalk!” Madeline answered, following the couple as she pushed them out of the front door. “Now come on, otherwise you’re going to be late!” She stood by the door and observed as they both began to walk towards the elevator, Jonah’s arm still wrapped around Natalie’s waist. “Don’t stay out too long, remember you’ve both got work in the morning!”
Jonah looked around, giving Madeline a sarcastic salute. “Bye mother!”
