First up, the next chapter of "House of Pullip". :D
Chapter 163: Apprehensions
Jonas: You said yes? Good for you, Rayna!
Rayna: *blush* Thanks, Jonas. I just decided that sitting around moping about Sebastian wasn’t accomplishing anything.
Jonas: Yeah…yeah.
Grace: Nicholai is very nice, Rayna, I think you will have a great time with him.
Rayna: I think so, too…but I’m still really nervous.
Grace: That’s normal.
Rayna: It’s just the last time I tried to move on it didn’t go so well…sorry, Grace, I know Zander is like your family and all…but it was just a big disaster! I don’t want that to happen again.
Grace: Zander may be family but he’s also being an idiot so say whatever you like, it won’t upset me. I don’t see Nicholai acting like Zander so I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
Jonas: Just remember what I said, Rayna. It’s just one date; it’s nothing to worry too much about.
Rayna: I know…I’m trying…but it’s hard. I’m still so inexperienced when it comes to men.
Grace: I think you know more then you give yourself credit for.
Elsewhere…
Sebastian: I do not know what to do… maybe Paige is right…maybe my feelings for Rayna are stronger than I realize… Rayna is an extraordinary woman…her heart is so pure and full of goodness…
Sebastian: Listen to me! I should be thinking of Paige… *sigh*
Sebastian: Paige is correct…I am in denial about how I feel about Rayna…but I still do not know what to do. I do not want to leave Paige, I love her…but maybe I should just do as she suggests… *more confusion*
Meanwhile...
*Bo has run into Nicholai…*
Bo: Nicholai! What are you still doing here?
Nicholai: You said I didn’t have to leave.
Bo: I thought you would though…
Nicholai: I was going to…but then I met…someone…
Bo: …
Nicholai: A friend.
Bo: More then a friend, I think.
Nicholai: Maybe…I don’t know yet.
Bo: Still, this…girl…obviously means a great deal to you.
Nicholai: Does that…bother you?
Bo: Not at all! I’m happy for you.
Nicholai: Really? You don’t mind?
Bo: I’m glad you see you aren’t still following me around like a sad little puppy.
Nicholai: *embarrassed* Sorry about that…
Bo: *shrugs* It happens. Now, go have fun with your…friend.
Nicholai: *smiles*
To be continued...
This is mostly a little transitional chapter but more excitement in the next chapter (Rayna and Nicholai go on their date). That will be posted on Sunday. :D
Second, I forgot to mention this in my last post but I sent the remainder of the money I owed for the Min Del Re I put on layaway! However, since I had to pay by check through the mail it will still be a bit before I get her. They have to get it and I have to wait ten days after they deposit the check before they will mail her. That's fine...I waited this long, I can continue waiting. I did it this way because they don't take Pay Pal and I have a policy about not using my credit card for stuff like this. She will hopefully get here by the end of March/beginning of April...I'm excited!
Bonus Photos:
I caved and bought a Top Model Barbie and stripped this outfit off the doll for Ivy. :P
Here's a full length shot. I wasn't going to get the outfit but while I was thinking about it I got an idea for Ivy to use in my photo story, so I went ahead and got it.
Kiki:
I bought My Melody's stock just for Kiki...so now she's Hello Kitty AND My Melody, heh.
One more...the dress is absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for looking! :D
