A Blast From The Past - Ambrose and Virginia, the College Years

 A big thank you to Julie for helping me with this dilemma I have.

Rather than take my original Sims 3 family and splitting them up, I've just taken a copy of Ambrose and Virginia, when they were still Young Adults. And I'm doing their back story.

When they went to college.

Twinbrooks. Ginny's parental home.
It's the day of enrolment into University and both Ginny and Brosie are nervous.
And slightly scared.

It was to be a big day for the two of them, in more ways than one.
They'd been friends for a little while, on/off boyfriend/girlfriend, nothing really concrete per se.
But, with the thoughts of them starting their academic careers in a university miles away from home, there was something that was bugging Brosie a lot.

He's not really the jealous type, and they DID agree to enrol at the same university together, provided they passed their aptitude tests ... and had enough money to pay for tuition fees. But Brosie was wondering, because they were meeting new people in a new environment, that maybe Ginny's eye would start wandering a little.

There were the proverbial Jocks on campus. A few of them would be quite good looking. And of course the Rebels with their 'don't give a damn' attitude. He was a Nerd - or at least assumed he was one, since he preferred to stick his nose in a few books and other nerdish stuff.

Maybe these other types might .... just might .... turn Ginny's head a little.

There was one thing for it.

"Brosie? You okay?"

Ambrose looked really uncomfortable and shuffled his feet.

"Nervous about Uni?"

There was a long pause and Brosie took a deep breath and gazed openly at Ginny.

"Um, Ginny?"

"Yes?"

He noticed the flush of excitement in her cheeks and realised that this was a 'now or never' moment.

"Brosie? You o ....."

He lunged forward and kissed her deeply, crushing his lips against hers. She gasped, but the gasp was lost in the heat of the moment. This had been a complete surprise ... and a first for the two of them. Until now, they'd only offered small pecks on the cheek and perhaps sharing a comfortable moment together, she watching TV, he reading a book.

But this....

..... this was .....

He pulled away and she gaped openly, still shocked. Now it was her turn to be take by surprise.

"Ginny?"

A long pause.
Too long.

Brosie wondered maybe that he'd possibly overstepped the mark here? That he'd blown it for good with her.

Until she grabbed his hands and pulled him in closer, crushing their lips together in a passionate, almost swoon-worthy kiss.

They drew apart, grinning stupidly at each other.

"I guess that means we're still an item," Brosie said quietly.

"You betcha," came the reply, "I wouldn't swap you for the world!"

The distinctive sound of the moving van brought a sense of reality to the two of them, as they realised that this was the next step in their young lives.

Whipping out his phone, Brosie pointed between the two of them.

"Want a pic as a reminder?" he offered.

As the flash went off, they locked lips to seal the deal. Then both checked the screen. Big silly grins on their faces.

"Hey, you don't look too bad there!" Brosie grinned.

"You're not too bad yourself," Ginny quipped back.

Taking their suitcases, they both headed for the moving van.

Time for them to go to college and a whole new adventure before them.
