Lou wrote her next part and hopefully posted it in HER journal. I haven't checked yet. But I did write a bit more so here is my next part under the cut.

Okay, Stephanie thought to herself as she settled back into her couch once again, I need to run upstairs and talk to those hot guys that just moved in. I think the big one's name is Roman. She giggled. Shit, he can be my Roman Empire any time. Mmmmm...
"Sis, why the crazy look on your face?"
Stephanie looked up to see her brother in the doorway to the kitchen, towel around his waist and sandwich in his left hand. She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Just thinking. Now go put some fucking clothes on before Lou comes out here and rips that towel off you." She grimaced. "Eww! I do NOT even wanna think about that..."
Adam struck a pose and wiggled.
"What? You don't think I'm hot?" He laughed as his sister threw a pillow at him. He took a big bite of his sandwich and added, "Besides Lou isn't like that. She's cool, man."
"Ha! If you only knew!"
Stephanie stood up and walked over to him. Her brother could be so clueless sometimes. For a grown man with a degree in business, he was uncommonly oblivious. And Lou, obviously, was not sneaky in showing her huge crush on Adam. She reached for her pillow before shoving Adam's shoulder.
"Clothes. Now. Go."
Adam saluted and replied, "Yes drill sergeant!"
"Go!"

Dolph had just been hoping something exciting would happen in his life on this raining dismal day when there was a knock on his apartment door. More excited than he should have any right to be, he jumped up and practically bounded over to answer the knock.
"Hi! You don't really know me, but I live downstairs. My name is Stephanie."
The young man grinned and grasped the hand reaching out for his.
"Yeah, I've seen you a couple times on your patio. I'm Dolph!" He opened the door wider and made a sweeping gesture with his left arm. "Won't you come in?"
Stephanie smiled and took a step inside. The place looked almost exactly like her own, except with a fireplace in one corner. She subconsciously wrinkled her nose at the cheap looking leather couches surrounded a big screen tv. Two end tables were laden with body building magazines and a big tub of protein powder. A few questionable pinup posters adorned the wall above one couch. And add that it wasn't as nicely decorated as hers as well, she thought.
"Me and my pals just moved in, but we have been meaning to meet everyone in the building," Dolph was saying as she looked around. He noticed her look at the posters and laughed. "Those are Roman's. He insisted on putting them up since he drew the shortest straw and got the couch to sleep on."
"Oh. It's...interesting." Stephanie tossed her hair behind her shoulder and put on her most winsome smile. "So, my friend and I are throwing a little party tonight and I thought that I'd come up here and invite you. It's nothing too fancy, but it is going to be a costume party."
"Sweet! I love costume parties!"
"Then I expect to see you and your friends there."
Dolph reached out and grabbed her hand before she could say anything else. He quickly bent over and pressed his lips against her knuckles. Stephanie giggled.
"I bet you'll look beautiful." He straightened up and grinned. "I can't wait."
"I'm sure."
And with that, Stephanie turned and walked out the door. Dolph nodded his head slowly, checking out the way her butt jiggled in her tight jeans as she left. Yup, the day had definitely just gotten much more exciting. He hoped his new neighbor and her friend were single because he was definitely ready to mingle. He tapped his finger on his chin. As soon as he found a costume to wear, of course.

In other news, I haven't heard back from Sam's Club yet. I even called and left a message for the manager on Wednesday. Ugh. Why can't they just tell you if they aren't gonna hire you? If I was a hiring manager I would totally tell the person if I didn't think they were right for the job and I wasn't going to hire them. Guess they think they're gonna hurt someone's feelings. Whatever.
I'm in the process of redownloading all my Sims 3 stuff from Origin. Think I'll ignore the world and play this afternoon. Kids are playing nicely for now...although that makes me nervous.
