Life of Kessie: Can I Get A.......

Did you miss me? Because I missed you guys a LOT!! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but before I get to the current day, I just want to blame my lovely creator for the long absence

CN: Really, Kessie? 

YES!!! 

CN: Okay, I'm sorry everyone. I know it has been several months since I posted an update. Now, can we continue your lovefest, or are we going to have a typical Kessie dramafest?

I am not full of drama, human?

CN: Just get on with the story already, before you have another mood swing.

HEY! No spoiling! Any way...... As you can see, Pierce and I are going strong. He is an awesome boyfriend that I thought I would never have again after Connor. We make an awesome couple, don't ya think?

Pierce and Chaxeau are going great! Every week, we're in my kitchen after work trying new recipes to bring the restaurant up another notch. As painful as it was, I had to quit the bistro and I am now co-owner and a chef at Chaxeau. Life is definitely great right now, as I now have time to finally write my cookbook!

This particular day was the best day I've ever had. I managed to wake up earlier than usual - which is surprising for a day off.

He surprised me with an awesome meal and decided to take me out on a very nice date. He wouldn't tell me where, or why. All I know, was that this was the best lobster I've ever had - and I can make a pretty awesome lobster. 

At this point, I knew why he kept everything a secret. He PROPOSED!!!!! Right in the middle of Sunset Valley Park, where we grew up. I didn't know what to say, or what to do. I did the only thing that I could do....

I said YES! I will admit that I love Pierce Decheneaux, and also fell in love with him. I didn't know I could be happy with someone who was my rival growing up. It just seems right, ya know? 

CN: For a brief history of Kessie and Pierce, feel free to read through the college years :)

NOT NOW, HUMAN!!

CN: Can I say before I go, that I told you so?

You knew this was happening?

CN: Yup! I'm not the Creator of Hotties for nothing. You two love each other and were made for each other. Literally.....I made you both. So now, enjoy your engagement while I go grab this bottle of....

And goodbyyyyyyye, Human! I can't wait to plan the wedding. Oh wow! I'm getting married! Someone pinch me!! 

Until next time,

Kessie :)

Life of Kessie: Inevitable

Hi, everyone! I am finally back after a long and very busy work schedule. The bistro is driving me nuts! Every day for the past three months, I have been there working 12 hours, coming home and writing my cookbook, and helping Pierce with his restaurant. So this right here, is my much-needed break. I'm actually getting great at this painting thing. Hopefully, I can sell this to the art gallery for some extra cash.

While I was painting, Pierce decided to pay me a visit. It was cool to see Dechie, especially since it's been a few weeks. We didn't talk about the "date" much since we went on it - so he decided to talk to me about it now. 

We watched the stars, since everyone was on Comet Watch. I guess you can consider this a second "date". He finally decided to talk about it. He spoke about how fun it was, and how he was looking forward to going out again. I honestly didn't think anything of it, only two friends hanging out. 

Pierce Decheneaux dropped a serious bomb on me. Why, Dechie? WHYYYYY!? He confessed his feelings for me. Really? Now? He spilled it all - how he always liked me, even when we were rivals. How he started really liking me in college and didn't care too much for me being in a relationship with Connor. How he wanted to make me happy. I will admit, he really sounded sincere - but I couldn't. It's not that I don't like Pierce.....but it's PIERCE! Okay, so he is rather hot, can dance, and we have a lot of things in common. However....

CN: OH NO YOU DON'T!!!

What, Human?

CN: You will NOT do this to Pierce. Going one better, you will NOT do this to yourself. 

What are you talking about?

CN: Kessie? Seriously? He likes you. We all can see that he likes you. Oh, and you know full well that you like him too. So, how about we stop with this nonsense and just be with him already! He is not Connor. You two are great for each other, so how about you give the man a chance? 

What if I get hurt again?

CN: You won't. 

How do you know?

CN: YOU WON'T! Trust me, you will not be hurt again. He digs you and to be honest, the both of you have nothing to gain from this relationship but love. You and I both know that you want to kiss him, so go for it!  Do I have to sing "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid?

Noooo! 

CN: Pierce?

Yup?

CN: Go for it...NOW! 

What? Um....he kissed me! I am kissing Pierce Decheneaux! I must say, it feels great. We feel great. I know, I know - this was inevitable. From the beginning, everyone sensed the romantic tension between Pierce and I. Now, everyone (including us) will be happy. I am in shock and taking all of this in. Pierce and I? Dating? Sweet!  Now, I'm going to finish making out with this gorgeous man. Catch ya later :D 

Until Next Time, 

Kessie :)

Life of Kessie: The "Date"

Hi, everyone. I know I should be getting ready for this "date" with Pierce, but I have cooking to do. Besides, I just left the bistro and I am starving. How can a person be hungry when they work in one of the top restaurants in Sunset Valley? It's easy when you're a bundle of nerves. Yes, I know it's only Pierce and I shouldn't be nervous. However, it's been a long time since I've been out with anyone other than just myself. May I not make a fool out of myself. If so, I'll blame it on Dechie. 

Pierce told me to meet him in the park by the ice skating rink. Sadly, he was running late due to some stoves not getting to Chaxeau on time. Either way, I'm by myself on ice. Can you say....help?

Thank goodness for the kindness of strangers <3 I was fumbling like an idiot, and this lovely woman saved me and helped me out a bit. I sort of had the hang of it. At least I can stand up and spin a little. 

Look who finally showed up? I wasn't too upset that he was late, but he wasn't too thrilled. At least we had the chance to skate on the ice before I froze to death. We decided to go back to my place to talk and warm up. 

...and dance! I forgot that he could actually dance. While it was only a few hours, we had a great time together....as friends.  We talked, and danced. We didn't bother talking about food, or our jobs. He spoke briefly about Melissa and I filled him in on the whole Connor fiasco. He even slipped in that I looked hot at Tiffany & Enrique's wedding. Oh jeez! I must say, I did look hot! Okay okay okay, he did too. 

At the end of the night, we hugged and he went to Trav's place to crash. He sent me a text that he had a great time and to thank me, and I thanked him as well. Hopefully we can get some work done in a few days since I am now on vacation from the bistro. It was a nice, friendly, harmless "date".  Well, it wasn't technically a date, but we had fun nonetheless. 

Until Next Time, 

Kessie:) 

*Insert the groan of every creator here* 

Life of Kessie - Back to the Grind

 Hi, nice people! I am BACK!!! Yes, you're favorite sim is back, and I am dying to give you a recap. As you all have seen, my bestie Tiffany is now married to Enrique! I'm still a little mad that she told my middle name, but it's okay. Now that "Tiffrique" is now a permanent thing, back to my life - or lack thereof.

I've been spending my days alone, enjoying some much needed "Me" time. Playing pool is very relaxing, especially now that I only have one day off. It will all pay off in the end.......

BOOM! Guess who is the newest chef of Corsican Bistro? YAAAAASSS!! I can finally show my skills off to the world! Oh, and before I forget, I am finally going to start my cookbook. Everything is officially awesome! I worked really hard, and now, I can reap the benefits.

To celebrate my promotion, what did I do? I painted. I'm actually great at this, so why not? I was painting away until my phone began to ring. Who could it be at this hour? Tiffany is in China, Trav is on the road, Jamie is on maternity leave and Jeffery is on his honeymoon with Ashley. 

WHAT??? PIERCE DECHENEAUX?? He heard about my promotion through ChefTimes Magazine and wanted to congratulate me in person! That was pretty awesome of him to do. I asked him about Beacon Bay, his restaurant and how he and Melissa were going. In short, he is opening up another Chaxeau in Sunset Valley while his dad runs the one in Beacon Bay. As for Melissa? Apparently, they broke up because she wanted to get married and he didn't. It's pretty sad, I spoke to her a few times and found her to be great for him. He'll be in SV for a couple of weeks to hire staff and get Chaxeau running, and he asked me to help him. I sure can! However, he had one condition:

PD: Go on a date with me?

HUH?

PD: Yes. Me? You? Date? 

HUH?

PD: Kessie, it's obvious that we like each other.

We do?

PD: We do. It's also obvious that I wouldn't have came to you about my restaurant if I didn't admire you and respect your input.

Thank you?

PD: Okay, so maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot for asking you out this way, but I really like you, Kessie. If you say no, I understand, but I still need your help. 

Okay, Dechie. I'll help you. HOWEVER, this is not a date. It's just two friends going out and having a great time. Okay?

PD: So, I'll pick you up tomorrow then?

8:00, and don't be late! 

PD: I won't. 

So yeah, I'm going out with Pierce Decheneaux tomorrow. Great. 

CN: I KNEW IT! You like him!! YES!!! I was right, The Creator was right - I am planning the wedding as we speak! This is so awesome, y'all are finally getting together! :D

Shut it, Human! We are not "together". We're going out as friends. 

CN: Yeah, sure. "Friends" Like Ross and Rachel? Or, is it Chandler and Monica?

Leave me be, woman!!! 

Until next time, 

Kessie :)

A Letter from The Maker. Saying Goodbye to a Legacy.

I want to thank you all for staying with me through the events that have lead up to the birth of generation 10.  I never could have anticipated that anyone would ever read or care about the Montgomery Family. 

Before the conception of generation 10, Glenna got into my head and begged me to tell her story.  She really didn't want 10 generations to mean nothing.  As she began to tell me her story, it became apparent to me that I had no choice but to let my sims do what I've so bucked against. I was going to have to let their voices be heard.

It is very bittersweet to me.  I am glad to know that the Montgomery family is going to be around with me for some time yet. I couldn't have been prepared for the loss and destruction of much else that I love and hold dear. 

As you could probably tell from the last chapter, real changes are happening in  my game.  You haven't even seen half of the devastation that awaits my sims. 

I can only make you this promise,  I will try to do right by the Montgomery name and to honor them in every way that I can as I proceed (cautiously) with their new reality. 

I can hope that my faithful friends and readers will rally around me during this transition and comfort me when I mourn the loss of favorite sims and try to rebuild their lives. 

In light of difficult times, I would like to share with you favorite memories from the last ten generations.  I have held these sim close to my heart. They have truly made me a better simmer.  Where I once scoffed at those that stopped to listen to the voice of their sims, I now find that one truly needs to have an open ear and an open heart. Let them tell their story, no matter how much it hurts me to see their pain.  This new era is about them. Though my heart is breaking, it is because I've finally learned to to let my sims have their voice and to let it be heard.

Heidi Ariana: Generation 9 Chapter 3

Glenna's long awaited birthday has finally arrived and the Montgomery family is elated that grandma Scarlet has lived to see the event.   James convinced Glenna to skip her last day of school and also arranged for Gammora to take a vacation day as well.

With guests arriving, James put the finishing touches on the birthday cake and everyone fell silent as Glenna blew out the candles. 

The party was called short though when the family started feeling under the weather.  Coughing, sneezing, fever, nausea, this illness came on fast and with no warning.

 

Hours after this mysterious illness started, the first casualty took place.  Twelve year old Gammorra was in her room when suddenly she burst into flames.  Despite the family's best efforts to extinguish the fire, Gammora perished from her injuries.

The entire family was stunned but there was no time to grieve.  Scarlet was feeling unwell and left the room to go lay down when suddenly, she was engulfed in flames.

Thankfully, the butler was able to put out the blaze but the whole thing is puzzling.  There's no explanation for these two cases of spontaneous combustion.

With the entire family grieving and Scarlet recovering from her near miss, James decided to take a shower to try to clear his mind and to make sense of everything that had transpired.

Halfway through his shower, James noticed a strange burning coming from his core and before he knew it, flames were licking at his body.  The water did nothing to contain the inferno. 

His heart broken family could do nothing but watch him succumb to his fatal injuries as he collapsed on the cold hard floor.

Strange things are happening. Could this be the beginning of the end?  Could this have been what Ariana and James predicted?  Only time will tell.

Life of Kessie - Tiffany & Enrique (FINALE!!!)

CN: Tiffany, thanks for helping me out the last few chapters. I'm digging your love story.

Really?

CN: Absolutely. You two are so cute together.

Thank yoooou! Hey, Human?

CN: Yup?

Since I'm about to post my happy ending, will Kessie ever find hers? I feel so bad for her.

CN: I'm gonna tell you like I told her....she's going to be okay, more or less. It's all up to her. 

Is she going back to Connor?

CN: You and I both know I can't answer that. 

You can't?

CN: Sorry, I can't. While I am the human creator, I can't control her every move. I'm quite sure she has her reasons for doing what she's doing. All we can do, is support her and love her for the person that she is. Whether it's Connor, or anyone else for that matter (No, I am not telling who it is!) Either way, she will be fine. So, you will have to wait like everyone else.

Okay, I understand. Back to my ending?

CN: YUP! Back to your ending, I'm getting a cavity reading all of this sweetness. 

Okaaaaay.

Kessie was nice enough to let us have an engagement party in her house. That was soooo sweet of her, especially since we reserved the park and it rained :(  I'm not going to give a play by play, I'm just going to share some photos. 

Trav dropped by for a little bit, since he had a big game for the Sim City Championship. PS - THEY WON!!!! He made it to our wedding right after the game instead of celebrating with his team. How sweeeeet? 

Enrique and I are officially MARRIED! The wedding in the park was amazing!!! Someone lost my camera, so these were all of the photos we had. We went back to Kessie's to give her our thanks for everything, and to say goodbye. We went to China for our honeymoon!

Kessie Jayne Pirci, (oops, no one knew that was her middle name? Well, now you dooooo!) I love you like the sister I never had. From the moment we met, I knew we were going to be great friends. You're beautiful, funny, considerate, smart, and a little overdramatic. That's what I love about you. 

You put aside your own issues and made my special day a reality. I thank you and I love you for life. I hope you will finally have your happy ending, as I did with Enrique. You deserve it. Oh, and thank you for making my wedding cake, you're an amazing chef!! 

No, we're not seeing things. Pierce flew in from Beacon Bay for the wedding, as he was the best man with Trav. These guys are indeed best friends, and I am so glad to be a part of their world. Enrique was the first of their crew to be married, I wonder who is next? I know Pierce is dating someone named Melissa, and Trav is still single. Kessie, perhaps? I guess we'll see. 

That will be all from me. I thank everyone for reading my love story. I'll give you back to the Human and Kessie. I'll leave you with this lovely wedding photo of two besties. I'm off to China for 3 weeks!!
