Early Bird…

You get back home to your apartment and all the girls are still asleep.

You and Brooke separated after you helped her mop the gym floors, while she did a general inspection on the equipment before they’re opening later. Now that you have all this extra time, you’re not exactly sure how to use it. You don’t regret buying the ‘Seldom Sleepy’ trait, since you know it’ll pay dividends later on, but it doesn’t mean that you weren’t a little too hasty in deciding to buy it.

Unable to think of anything productive to do, you sit down on your living room couch, put your feet up, and open the app. You’re immediately greeted with notifications that affirm your belief that ‘Time is Money’.

Available points: 50 (+50) Friendship points / 50 (+50) Love points / 100 (+50) Lust points

- Taylor, Brooke - Affection Score: 100 (+9).

Love Score: 51 (+10)

Lust Score: 72 (+16) (-37) (+9)

+50 Friendship Points. Total: 400 (For reaching the 100 Affection Score goal with a person)

+50 Love Points. Total: 50 (For reaching the 50+ Love Score goal with a person)

+50 Lust Points. Total: 100 (For reaching the 100 Lust Score goal with a person)

If you weren’t awake this early, you probably wouldn’t have been able to hang out with Brooke the way you did this morning. Then again, you and her do plan on dating so it’s not like you wouldn’t have been able to get those scores eventually.

You check the fluctuation that occurred in Brooke’s Lust Points, to see what time they increased. The time the app shows is that the sixteen point increase occurred last night. When you were doing it with your girlfriends?

If you think about it, that’s the fourth time that’s occurred now. Increasing other’s Lust Score just by having sex within their vicinity. Stella mentioned that watching you and Cassie made her see you differently for the first time, even before you bought Normalized ****. It occurred with Maddy yesterday at the clothing boutique when she overheard you and Stella doing it in the next changing room. You unlocked Paige’s Lust Score due to the same thing. Brooke increased her Lust Score just from hearing the festivities last night too.

There are too many instances of it happening that you can't consider it a coincidence. It seems just being adjacent to a sexual act with you increases someone’s Lust Score. Although, the app hasn’t registered your other neighbors to have an increased Lust Score; so it seems there’s a limit to the scope of people it can affect. Only the ones that seem to really interact with you on a more consistent basis are affected, it seems. Whatever the case, now that you’re trying to farm Lust Points, that side effect should be something you keep in mind from now on, as it could help in increasing Lust Score much faster.

- Nguyen, Vivian - Affection Score: 100.

Love Score: 88 (+6)

Lust Score: 63

You see the slight increase in Viv’s Love Score, and you assume the fun last night helped in increasing that.

- O’Brien, Madeleine - Affection Score: 71

Love Score: 43

Lust Score: 68 (-32)

Wow. Maddy’s Lust Score hasn’t been that low since you first met her. I wonder what she and Becca did yesterday that may have calmed her urges for you somewhat.

- Hoffman, Rebecca - Affection Score: 55 (+2).

Love Score: 28 (+1)

Lust Score: 91 (+11)

Becca’s Lust for you, on the other hand, is closing in on being maxed out. It’s weird that even after being with you and Viv, hearing you have fun with Stella at the boutique, Becca’s Lust Score still hasn’t reached the maximum. You wonder if that has something to do with the fact that she has a strong sense of what she finds arousing? Still, you’re close to maxing it out even though she hasn’t dommed you yet. Then again, if you max it out, would that mean she would be okay with you just doing it ‘normal’; or would she want to do it her way?

As you ponder this question, you receive a message on your phone.

“Hey, papi. You’re not in bed. Did you go to Viv’s?” Tanya asks.

“I’m in the living room. You want me to cook you some breakfast?” You message back, before standing up from the couch to meet her in the bedroom. You and Tanya meet halfway, as she exits your bedroom right as you were about near the door. Tanya’s still in all her glory, not having dressed since the festivities last night.

You give each other innocent ‘good morning’ kisses, that you immediately turn to a not so innocent kiss. Unable to control yourself after seeing her completely naked. Tanya lets out a moan, before finally letting out a giggle and lightly pushing you off to stop you from continuing.

“Didn’t get enough from last night?” Tanya jokingly asks you.

“I got more than enough last night.” You assure her.

“You and me both.” Tanya says with a laugh. “You were on fire last night!” Tanya says with giddiness.

“It’s hard not to be when you have four gorgeous girlfriends.” You compliment her, and she just gives you an eye roll for the cheesiness, but she’s still smiling so you know she appreciates it. “Speaking of gorgeous, you can’t expect me to not do anything when you’re dressed like that.” You point out, before pulling her in closer and giving her another passionate kiss.

“When I read your message, I thought you were offering an actual breakfast, and not Stella and Cassie’s definition of breakfast.” Tanya teases you.

“I am offering an actual breakfast. What would my gorgeous girlfriend like to eat to start her day?” You ask her.

“Sausage.” Tanya replies teasingly, getting you to raise an eyebrow in reaction. Tanya even teasingly bends her knees a bit to tease you that she might actually do it, before abruptly straightening back up and laughing.

“The girls are rubbing off on you, huh?” You tease her.

“I believe they rubbed off on each other last night.” Tanya jokes, and the image of Cassie and Stella scissoring flash in your mind, making you give a visible reaction that Tanya chuckles at.

“Are women just naughtier in the morning or am I just lucky?” You ask while chuckling.

“Why? Who else flirted with you this morning?” Tanya asks, a mix of confusion and curiosity in her tone.

“Brooke. We jogged back to her place and I helped her clean the gym earlier.” You answer Tanya.

“Wait… How long have you been up?” Tanya asks.

“About a few hours now. Woke up at around four.” You inform her.

“Four!? Why? Also, you already helped Brooke clean the gym? So she’s not at my place anymore?” Tanya asks consecutively.

“I bought a trait that allows me to be fully rested after four hours of sleep.” You answer her initial question first, to the amazement of Tanya. “... and yes, Brooke’s at the gym already; doing what Chad usually does for them before they open.” You add.

“You only need to sleep for four hours!?” Tanya reacts in disbelief. “Think of all the stuff you can do!” She adds excitedly.

“I actually can’t think of anything I’d like to do.” You joke back. “Other than exercise, I mean. I actually ran into Brooke downstairs at the stoop by accident. That’s why we hung out for a few hours.” You inform her.

“Now that I think about it, at my age, the only thing I’d probably do with extra time is get extra sleep.” Tanya jokes, making both of you laugh as you agree with her emphatically.

“The girls are probably going to want that when school starts. I know I would have wanted that back in college.” Tanya tells you.

“Yeah, I’d like to buy it for them too some day; probably not while they’re still in college though. Those two need to learn the value of time management without having to rely on magic.” You tell Tanya.

“You are such a dad.” Tanya jokes.

“I am a Dad.” You say in agreement, chuckling at Tanya’s point.

“Good luck convincing Stella with that logic though.” Tanya warns you, and you chuckle because you know how your daughter is too.

“I’ll just tell her I helped raise her, go to college, have a part time job, find time to write my novel all at the same time without the help of magic. If I can do that, she can too; and she’s going to need to learn how to.” You reason out.

“You think that’s going to work?” Tanya asks with skepticism.

“Nope.” You answer matter-of-factly, making both of you laugh.

“If all else fails, Stella always listens to her Daddy.” Tanya teases you. You rub the back of your neck in reaction. Moreso out of habit than embarrassment, since you’re not really all that embarrassed being teased about that anymore.

“So, breakfast?” You remind Tanya.

“Actually, can you help me get some stuff from my apartment first? It’s actually why I got up a little earlier than usual. My girls are arriving tomorrow, and I freed up space from my room for them. I just need help lifting the boxes.” Tanya asks you, and you obviously agree to help her.

It only took two trips for you and Tanya to bring her boxes of stuff from her place to yours. Afterwards, Tanya said she’ll just take a shower and suggested that you invite Viv for breakfast, which you thought was a good idea. You wanted to greet Viv a ‘good morning’ anyway, so you decided to visit her apartment instead of just messaging her.

As you leave your apartment to head to Viv’s, you see Maddy making her way to the O’Briens.

Did she just arrive after hanging out with Becca yesterday?

“Maddy?” You call out to her. The girl turns around and she kinda looks like Maddy, but you immediately recognize it’s not her.

“Oh, sorry. I thought you were someone else.” You apologize.

“It’s okay.” The stranger replies. “Maddy and I get mistaken for each other a lot.” She explains.

“You know my sister?”
