Nightcap

“We were not fingering each other! That’s a total lie!” you hear Cassie shout from the couch as you exit your bedroom.

The fuck?

“I kinda remember you squeezing one of my tits though.” Tanya throws Cassie under the bus, but she was laughing so you’re assuming she was only joking. You hear Stella laughing the loudest, finding Cassie’s embarrassment amusing.

“I didn’t know you had it in you, Cass! I’m going to have to warn our teammates to cover up when we’re in the locker room now.” Stella jokes. As you approach, you see Viv and Celeste have pulled the dining chairs near the couch and they’re chatting with the girls while Viv eats some of your roast.

“Oh please, like any of our teammates is anywhere near Tanya’s body.” Cassie retorts to Stella, now making Tanya blush.

“Hear, hear!” Viv enthusiastically agrees with Cassie, raising her glass of wine. “I mean, I don't know what your teammates look like, but I bet they’re no match for Tanya.” Viv adds, before giving Tanya a wink.

“What’re you guys talking about?” you ask them.

“We’re just listening to the real story of what happened last night.” Stella explains, which was vehemently denied by Cassie, “No it’s not! It’s more like some evil lesbian’s sick fantasy!”, making Stella jokingly elbow her in the ribs and saying she was “Rude.” as a way to turn the tables on Cassie.

Viv just laughs as the two teenagers start play-fighting each other. You sit down on the side of the couch next to Tanya and she gives you a peck on the cheek before asking you, “Nightcap?”, and hands you a glass of wine after you nod.

“Hey Craster, Celeste wasn’t kidding, this roast is pretty good.” Viv addresses you, complimenting your cooking, once you’ve taken your glass of wine. You’re familiar with the reference for the nickname, but you’re not sure if that’s the one she means; but if it is, you know exactly why she picked it.

“You read the Song of Ice and Fire series?” you ask Viv.

“Nope. Only watched the TV show. Although, I have spent enough hours reading the wiki that I practically read it though.” Viv answers you.

“Why didn’t you just read the books? I mean, if you’ve spent enough time reading the wiki.” you ask her.

“You’re really more concerned with how I waste my time than being nicknamed after a daughterfucker?” Viv asks you, a bit weirded out by the things you’re concerned by.

“Hey, why don’t you go over there and elbow her in the ribs, huh?” Stella asks Cassie.

“I didn’t really get what they’re talking about.” Cassie honestly answers. “She just called my dad a daughterfucker. That’s rude, right?” Stella asks Cassie.

“She’s not wrong though.” Tanya jokes teasingly.

“Hey! I take offense. My dad’s a daughter-lover. Huge difference.” Stella says with a serious tone but is obviously joking, making the girls laugh.

“I don’t know. I didn’t remember you shouting ‘Love me, Daddy’ last night.” Viv quickly teases back, making Tanya and Cassie laugh at Stella’s expense. You’re still weirded out by how normal everyone’s referring to this, but Viv’s joke still gets a chuckle out of you.

“What’s this about now?” Celeste asks.

“You haven’t told her!?” Viv asks in surprise.

“Told me what?” Celeste asks.

“It all started with…”

“I had a great time you guys! See you all tomorrow at the restaurant.” Viv says as she leaves your apartment, her towel in hand.

“We’ll be happy to be there to support both you and Celeste.” You reply to Viv who gives Tanya a cheek kiss as she goes to her own apartment. Tanya gives you a kiss on the lips before she goes back to her own apartment as well. She said she’s been in your apartment long enough today when you invited her to stay over for the night.

You feel kinda guilty that you’re going to bed with Cassie and Stella tonight, while one of your other girlfriends is going to sleep alone when she doesn’t have to, but her mind seemed to be made up and you didn’t push it further. You close the door and you surprisingly see your daughter back at it in the sink, washing Viv’s plate and the wine glasses everyone used.

Before you could tell Stella to leave the dishes for you, Celeste taps you on the shoulder.

“Hey, tonight was really fun. I should visit you guys more often.” Celeste tells you.

“You’re always welcome here, Celeste. If that wasn’t clear before, I want to make that clear now.” you tell her. She hugs you. A long lingering hug. Unlike the hug that she gave you at the airport. You return the hug since it might be awkward if you don’t, with how long this hug is going now. You want to read into it, but you know it won’t go anywhere. Not as long as she’s with this boyfriend of hers.

You’re not going to debase yourself and ruin their relationship with magic. You’re even insulted that the app even recommended the ‘Cheater’ trait for you, like that wasn’t the cause of so much of your misery. You realize the app isn’t as intuitive to your thoughts or feelings as you first perceived. What it’s intuitive to is your lusts. It doesn’t care how you can satisfy your sexual cravings or fantasies, as long as it helps you in satiating them.

Your train of thought gets broken the same time Celeste breaks away from you.

“Wow. I didn’t notice it before, but you give awesome hugs. I kinda wish I could cuddle next to you tonight.” Celeste tells you.

“What?” you think aloud. “Oh!” Celeste blushes a little, maybe realizing how what she said could be misconstrued. “You know, like back when we were kids and I cuddled you to sleep?” Celeste explains.

You give an awkward laugh and rub the back of your neck, “Right. We haven’t done that since I was like, 9, right?” you ask her rhetorically, but she corrects you nonetheless, “11. I cuddled you to sleep whenever I had to babysit you, up until I left for college.” Celeste reminds you.

There’s an awkward pause in the conversation, not really knowing where to go from talking about cuddling each other to sleep. Why would she even bring that up?

“Uh~, anyway, good night Jay. Thanks again for letting me stay here for tonight.” Celeste says, giving you a kiss on the cheek before going to Stella’s room to sleep. You turn around and you see Cassie already eyeing you.

“I guess there’s no point for us to stay at Tanya’s tonight?” Cassie asks, not as a tease like it would have sounded if Stella asked it, but she said it with a tone of consolation.

“Hey, what’s with the tone?” you ask her, rubbing her arm. “I’m fine Cassie. This was always a possibility.” You reassure her. Cassie gives you a comforting hug, and you return it, rubbing your cheek with hers. She kisses you on the cheek before she breaks away.

“I’m sorry you had to suffer through my greediness tonight.” You tell them, and Stella immediately replies while washing the wine glasses.

“Stop it Dad. We talked about it this morning. We encouraged you to do this, remember? It wasn’t like you **** your decision on us. Stop it.” Stella bluntly tells you.

You go towards Stella, doing what you did earlier, and hug her from the back around her waist, kissing her on the side of her neck this time. “I told you I’ll handle the dishes this time, didn’t I?” you ask her, but this time, you’re the one rubbing your crotch on her butt trying to remind yourself that you should try and be comfortable with this. Stella moans at your initiative but she stops you from continuing.

“You should take care of Tanya tonight. You’ll have us all week, she can really only spend a lot of time with you on the weekends. I’m pretty sure that’s why she wanted to stay at her place.” Stella tells you.

“Yeah. Stella’s right… on both accounts. She’s going to want to be loud.” Cassie jokingly says with a chuckle, before jokingly pointing with her thumb to the general direction of Stella’s bedroom behind her.

“Are you guys sure? Maybe she was just tired from today?” you ask them.

“Yes, Jay. We’re sure. Call it women’s intuition.” Cassie assures you. “Trust us.” Stella adds. Not seeing any more room to argue, you give both of them soft sweet pecks on the lips and tell them good night before exiting your apartment and ringing Tanya’s doorbell.

“Who is it?” you hear Tanya shout from inside.

“It’s me, Jay.” you reply from behind her door.

“Just a minute!” she shouts back.

You sway in place, tapping your thighs, and swaying on your feet as you wait for Tanya to open the door. After a few minutes, you’re feeling like the wait’s been longer than you anticipated.

“Is this a bad time?” you ask through the door.

“No! Five more seconds!” she shouts back. After another couple of minutes, you hear Tanya shout again, “Come in! The door’s unlocked!”

Not really thinking about how weird it is that she wants you to open the door yourself, quite possibly meaning the door wasn’t even locked in the first place, you swing the door open and close it once you’re inside. You walk a bit further in and you realize why Tanya wanted you to open the door yourself. You see Tanya standing in her living room, holding two glasses in both her hands, and both glasses filled with a golden liquid.

She was also completely naked.

“Care for another nightcap?”
