The Bishop Legacy: Chapter 7, Generation 2: The Best Mistake I Ever Made
Authors Note: Hello everyone! First of all it’s the summer holidays! So I’ve got plenty time for simming now. Also I have made a few changes this chapter, with pictures slightly bigger so if things are different and you don’t like it then tell me. As well as this I’m sorry if this chapter isn’t that good, because I’ve been thinking about my evil plans for months, so I just wanted to get it out. Still I hope you do read and enjoy!

Last time… Dane looked for his wife for over a year, with only two long-term dates. First there was Ella Torres, a passionate singer diva who quickly made enemies with Jessica, so pretty soon was kicked out the house. Then there was Florence White, who although was friendly and kind-hearted soul, was too boring. Later on however Dane took an interest in the mysterious and confident Melissa, a sorta of friend of Nate, in the latter’s bar.
Can’t remember what happened and want to read it again, this is the link to the last chapter:

Some things had changed, some things hadn’t, now Nate had moved out and now Melissa and her two friends Alisha and Chloe had moved into town too, often visiting Nate's bar. And even though I had got to know her more she was still mysterious as ever and angelic in her movements. Even when just taking a swig of her drink. And she was still confident, witty and snarky in a good way of course, and one of the best senses of humour I had even known… Oh and the feeling she gave me it was… amazing.
“Are you looking at me again?” her question was sharp, like nipping yourself to wake up form a dream which stirred myself back into consciousness.
“Oh well where else would I be looking at where I am looking at where you are.” I cheekily replied.
“I dunno, the wall?” she snapped back, before grinning.
“Are you smiling?”
“No!” Her eyes razor-sharp.
“Okay you got me” she then beamed.
“I like your smile.” I admitted to her.
“Well that’s good for you, hopefully it’ll keep you entertained enough, because I’ve gotta go now. So savour and enjoy.” she then told me.
“I will.” I smiled back at her.
“Not just one last look, I wouldn’t mind.”
“No, your smile is good enough for me.”
“Oh well then see ya.”
“See ya.”
I loved our conversations or what you could call flirting, I dunno I just loved that about her… It was the most intense and amazing feeling… was I in love?
I swallowed the sickly sweet drink and went home for a nice long night’s sleep.
A few months later I got a new perspective on Melissa, when her friend Chloe was being hit on.
“Hello there sweet stuff wanna kiss.”
“Err no.”
“Go on you know you want to, and I don’t blame yah.”
“Sorry but I don’t even know you.”
He grabbed her but she quickly shook him off, before sprinting out the building crying. At that moment Melissa stepped in.
“She said she didn’t want to kiss you, and now look what you did. What do you have to say for yourself you asshole.”
“Jeez, the point of bars to kiss people and that, it’s not my fault that she is a weird freak.”
And with that, Melissa gave the dick justice with one swift movement.
“Now you leave her alone alright.”
“Fine…”
“I…"
“Where is she?”
“She went to the bathroom.”
I adored this kickass side of Melissa, who would do anything to protect her friends… I couldn’t ignore it or deny it anymore I…
“I love her Skye, I really love her. I think… in fact I know that I really really love her.” I declared to my sister Skye.
“I never thought I would see the day… but you have fallen in love with a girl haven’t you.”
“I dunno what else it could be, and I have no idea what to do?” I confessed her.
“Believe it or not Dane, sometimes the obvious thing works. But have you… you know actually told her this…” she advised me.
“What if she rejects me?”
“And what if she doesn’t?”
“Surely” she then further continued “It’s better to tell I mean. Would you rather live for the rest of your life regretting never telling Melissa this, or finding out and then go on from there.”
“I mean imagine if I never told Miles I loved him. I would never have been with him and never would have had Oscar either and I would be with him… but instead I did tell Miles and well look. You see how happy I am.” She then started to take even more of a serious tone.”You need to tell her this before it is too late, and no matter what happens, if you ask her at least you will have no regrets. Go get her Dane, I can tell she makes you happy, and I want you to be happy, so go… get your happiness.”
She was right, which didn’t surprise me as she was no moving further up in politics now. But yeah she was right.
“You are right sis, I will tell her tonight after a party at work”
“Right then, I’ll start cooking lunch while you look after Oscar for me. I want to find out more about this Melissa.”
“Hello there Oscar, Uncle Dane’s little claw wants to attack you!”
“Oh noes!” I heard him giggle and smile… which reminded me of Melissa’s gorgeous grin.
Without this little man, I never would have searched for someone in the first place, and none of this might ever have happened. And so I told him some advice before going in for lunch even though he was probably too young to remember this.
“Live your life with no regrets, Oscar.”
However destiny had other plans…
“Melissa, I need to speak with you.”
“Can’t you see, I’m busy.” I heard her snap aggressively, normally she would be playful, but this time it was with anger, with the aroma of alcohol flaring off her slithering into my nostrils with it’s pungent smell.
“What’s wrong?” I asked her.
“My uncle is dead alright… he and my auntie looked after me you know!”
I never saw this side of her before, her confidence in a large outer shell, but inside so fragile, I wanted to glue them together… I needed to glue them together before I fell apart myself. Why did destiny have to be cruel today… in fact any day.
“Please stop drinking Melissa. I’ll get a taxi to take you home… and we can talk”
And in all a sudden, I saw her quickly stumble out with somehow still such grace into my arms.
Our lips almost brushing, the electricity building, intoxicated from a party already, but I did not give in to temptation.
But even though she was drunk I still told her “Melissa, I love you.”
“Good.”
WHY?
WHY???
…
“Why… am I here?”
A voice startled me back into alertness.
I just starting to wake, so I was confused. Why was Melissa standing next to it. In underwear?
“Why am I here?” she raised her voice “ I shouldn’t be here, I’ve got to go.”
The drunken memories started to come back form the night before, both of us drunk, her uncle dead, me at a work party before, and the kiss… oh no!
I managed to jump over the bed and stop her.
“I can explain.”
“You used me, my uncle died, then I got drunk, and then you used me you asshole!”
“Wait but… it’s not what you think.”
“Then why am I here in my underwear, and you too!”
“Melissa, wait.”
It was too late though and she was already running off, but stupidly I decided to chase after her.
Then I just let her go.
“Honey what;s wrong, I hear shouting and then I saw you and a…”
I grabbed her looking for comfort like Melissa did the night before and told her all.
Afterwards I tried to contact her and sent a message hoping she would talk to me.
“Please Melissa, pick this up, we need to talk and I want to explain…”
“And I’m sorry.” I waited wishing for her to call and one day she did.
“Make this quick, I was only going for a walk down here. So say what you have to say.
“I’m sorry Melissa.”
“If that’s all your gonna say, than I might as well just leave now.” I heard her snap back.
“It’s not just that, it’s just I knew it should never happen, but I could not help my self…”
“Because, I love you.” I finally came clean to her, and it felt amazing as I could tell her every single thing I held secret from her.
“Well let me be honest, as you know I am Dane Bishop and my father was Seth Bishop the famous actor… so I know what it’s like to deal with a death so i can help you and we can talk about… and then I killed my man’s abusive boyfriend, in self defence of course and I felt guilty for years before I got help… and then my brother became a vampire is now somewhere in Bridgeport… oh and not forgetting my councillor was a vampire who is a friend now and is looking for him with his friends. But the biggest secret I have ever held from you is that I love everything about you, your sense of humour, your beauty, your witty comments, your confidence. Your everything to me Melissa, because… I love you!”
“Dane?”
“What Melissa?”
“Shut up.”
I was ready to scream, why was she not listening to me?!
But before I had a chance too she silenced me, with a warm, tender and passionate kiss.
The second best kiss I have ever had.
“Well that answers my question.” I laughed.
“I’m glad it did.” she grinned back at me “But seriously, since you have told me everything, I will tell you everything about me.” she added.
“Well first of all the reason I was with my uncle and auntie, was that when I was young my mother and father died in a car crash. Since then I’ve always had a hard shell around myself because I thought no one would understand, until Alisha and Chloe came along. And well I often had flings with people at school but they never lasted long, I went for the wrong ones. Then I met you and I’ll admit I liked you, you were different, then my uncle died and you know what happened next. Finally though, I do love you, your an idiot, but I want you to be my idiot.
“I never realised Melissa, but I gladly accept being your idiot.”
“It’s alright, not your fault destiny can be a bitch sometimes.” Melissa then said to
“I guess so… but I guess that this means we are boyfriend and girlfriend now.”
“Of course you amazing idiot.”
Even if destiny was a bitch, I’ve I never made this mistake then this would never have happened and that’s why it is the best mistake I ever made. And as you know kids this is your mother. But don’t think this was the end of the drama, before you were born because there is still a few years yet… and that is for next time.
* * *
And that is where I will leave you. So to make things clear, Dane is reading to his kids, but you can’t see them because I haven’t played that far into the game yet but hopefully soon enough you will. Also I wonder if you like the slightly larger pictures because I like them bigger but I wanna see what you all think to. And finally I would love to hear your thoughts on the chapter.
See you soon, TWS1996/Tom
