Kaylynn Langerak -> Part One

Pleasant(ly) Ever After 

(Kaylynn Langerak)
[Part One] 

 (WARNINGS: Mentions of extra martial affair ,sims in underwear and SWEARING. I'm not an expert on putting warnings so apologies if I miss any!)

Kaylynn Langerak arrived at her usual time at the Pleasant household with tired eyes and limbs.

She'd spent a sleepless night tossing and turning in her large too-empty bed worrying yet again, about her potential relationship with her employer's husband.

Kaylynn wasn't a bad sim, she really wasn't. She just knew what she was doing would be seen as bad. Which is most likely was. She wasn't stupid or naïve in that sense.

She loved the man she was with, more so than she ever thought she could love anybody in her life.

More than anything she wanted to be the one to make him happy, happier than he made her at times.

However it was complicated because there would days and nights like today, when she would be consumed by guilt and her conscience screaming at her in disgust.

She wasn't a sim to intentionally destroy another sims's family or life. Far from it. 

Yet...how would her friends and family view her if they knew what she was doing, knowing her secret lover was married?

What was worse? A woman seduced by a man, not knowing he's married or one that knows he's married and carries on anyway?

These were thoughts that kept her up at night at times. 

She knew it was risky and bad, but she was far too selfish. And she was ashamed by it, as nobody else other than her and Daniel could justify it.

The fact that they loved each other wouldn't impress anybody else.

She wasn't arrogant when she knew she made him happy.

Kaylynn sighed heavily as she walked into the house, knowing and hating that her heart would lift in happiness at the thought of seeing Daniel. He always lit up her mood and she was in dire need of a cuddle and some reassurance. 

Reassurance that he would one day make her his.

She wasn't giving him a timeframe as she knew that would only alienate him. 

He hadn't promised her anything and she knew what she was signing up for. But it wasn't just about the woohoo for her; it was love, pure and deep.

But it didn't stop her good heart worrying about getting caught and ruining Daniel's relationship with his twin daughters and wife.

Kaylynn didn't hate any of them, she wasn't the type to hate anybody. It was rare of her to lose her temper.

She envied Mary Sue and her successful life, twins and beautiful house they lived in. 

It was everything Kaylynn wanted; a family of her own, children to love and a man she loved to love her.

Was that so bad?

Kaylynn cared too much about what others thought of her. It had always been this way.

Kaylynn entered the en-sutie bathroom to the master bedroom, a place of many a happy afternoons lying in bed with Daniel.

But not even these sweet and cherished memories could wipe away the growing depression in her heart.

After the cleaning the toilet (and silently wondering why this bathroom was so filthy after one weekend off!) Kaylynn tried again, desperately to clear her mind, not wanting to be tiresome.

She resolved to catch up with Lucy this evening in the hopes it would cheer her up. Her fellow maid was a godsend as was Remmington.

She heard the door to the bathroom open behind her whilst she was bent over the bathtub.

She braced herself.

"Morning gorgeous" came Daniel's cheerful tone. She could hear the smile in his voice without turning around. "You are looking mighty fine this morning Kay."

Oh please tell me he's not just here for a quickie! I need a cuddle not a woohoo in under ten minutes! I need tenderness, I crave intimacy and I demand some loving, not woohoo!

"Morning Mr Pleasant" she muttered, not turning around. She normally greeted him in this tone but she got it slightly sounding more sarcastically cryptic today. 

"Are you ok today babe?" Daniel asked, clearly offended by her lack of warmth in her tone. "You seem a bit cranky."

"Sorry Dan I'm on autopilot today" Kaylynn explained as she straightened up, in a bid to appease him. "I didn't sleep much last night to be honest."

"Why didn't you sleep well?" Daniel asked, non-plussed before his voice turned seductive. "Did you miss me?"

Kaylynn felt like a bucket of ice had just been poured over her as a chill went up her spine. Was he mocking her?!

So she asked him outright "Are you pleased by that fact?!"

Daniel waggled his eyebrows at her in what he clearly thought would seduce her in a second. "Well I am very desirable..."

Kaylynn had the uncontrollable urge to smack her lover hard in the face. 

She resisted the temptation, knowing she'd regret it instantly. 

But had he always been such a cocky shit? 

And she'd been blind to it?! 

Was she stupid?

Instead she took a deep breath mentally and answered calmly.

"Yes I did miss you, wasn't that obvious by the amount of un-paid overtime I clock when I'm in this house?"

"Wow you really are cranky this morning Kay!" Daniel snorted, almost laughing at her.

She resisted the urge to slap him again. With extreme difficulty.

"So glad my upset is so amusing to you!" she scoffed angrily, her temper so close to the surface, uncharacteristic for her.

"Who babe, no need to nag at me!" Daniel sneered back at her, his face impatient for the first time. "I got a wife for that!"

He could've left it at that and she'd have forgiven this row.

But he could never not have the last word in a fight.

"You know, the wife and kids you seem to forget I have when it suits you!"

Kaylynn froze and her eyes immediately began to water. 

That hurt her badly.

You son of a blooprop! She screamed at him mentally, how fucking dare you!

Deciding not to be anymore hysterical but in no way inclined to give an apology, Kaylynn took a deep breath, dignity intact. 

"I see" was all she said before she moved over to to clean the sink. She couldn't look at him. 

How could he say such cutting words to her?! 

He loved her! Why would he say that?!

Daniel hadn't said anything but she could hear his ragged breathing, his fury all too evident. 

She didn't see why. She'd never forgotten he had a family. 

She noticed many things he seemed to not.

I notice how you give your wife an obligatory kiss in front of me each morning. 

I notice how much my heart yearns for you to be the one I wake up next to each morning. 

I notice how guilty I feel when I see your beautiful daughters. 

I notice how much I want you to hold me when I feel depressed, no matter the time, place or circumstance. 

I notice how much I wonder if my own morality is in question because I am having an affair with a married man. 

I notice how much you always throw out the family card whenever you feel guilty and lash out at me because I’m an easy target for your own guilt.

WHY do I love you? WHY did I chose you? Do you even deserve me?!

She heard the bathroom door close behind her, and fading stomping footsteps got further away.

She scrubbed harder, so hard her fingers were red raw afterwards.

I hate that I love you Daniel Pleasant, she thought angrily, as the silent sobs overcame her body.
