Checking Scores

You spent the rest of the afternoon with Maddy at your apartment. She learned about the rollercoaster of a week you had last week that resulted in having three girlfriends. A concept that was novel to her, based on the amount of innocent and curious questions she asked about it.

She also learned about the cause of the delay in publishing being due to your divorce with ‘the Diane you dedicated The Undying Emperor to’. After that she spent a few more minutes continuing to fangirl; and after that, you and the girls learned more about her and her interests. Maddy was pretty much a bookworm as television and internet usage was limited in their home, although she did watch sports with her Dad occasionally and swam as her physical sport, and chess as her recreational one.

After some time, the three girls went into Stella’s room to give Maddy a makeover as she was always interested in that kind of stuff, but her mom wasn’t really someone who was into cosmetics; and really only treated make-up as something for special occasions.

You washed the dishes and did some general housekeeping again before sitting back down on the living room sofa. With some alone time on your hands, you purchase two small bouquets, one to give Stella later for your date, and the other to give to Cassie for not having gifted her one during your date with her. You bought Daffodils for Stella, as those are her favorites since she was a kid; and some Irises for Cassie as she mentioned it as her favorite when you bought flowers for Tanya when the three of you were planning your first date with her.

With that purchase made, you messaged Celeste wishing her all the best and that she can visit anytime, before you look at the logo of the Affection Multiplier. You didn’t check it all day yesterday, not after it suggested you the ‘Cheater’ trait the night before. It just turned you off that it would even consider suggesting something like that for you, or that it even had something like that in it to begin with.

Your curiosity is getting the best of you though. Your thumb’s hovering over the app, curious to find out your progress. You close your eyes and take a deep breath before opening the app again. You rationalize that as magical as it is, it’s still only a tool. It’s not inherently good or evil. It all depends on how you use it.

Available points: 450 (+100) Friendship points / 200 (+50) Love points / 200 (+150) Lust points

The app’s reminding you that you can convert points to get ‘Normalized Polyamory’ now, but you decide that at this current time, you can stay patient and not convert points to buy it. The girls are happy with each other, while Viv and Brooke seem to not mind the multiple girlfriends set-up you and the girls have already. It’s still something you’d rather have than not though, as it doesn’t seem all that intrusive in terms of people’s way of thinking, while giving you the benefit of peace of mind.

- Craig, Stella - Affection Score: 100

Love Score: 100

Lust Score: 100

It would seem the cuck play earlier only got her even hornier for you. Her Lust Score didn’t even dip a tiny bit after cumming earlier. That bodes well for tonight, you guess.

- Jones, Cassandra - Affection Score: 100

Love Score: 100

Lust Score: 64 (-36)

- Ramirez, Antonia - Affection Score: 100

Love Score: 100 (+34)

Lust Score: 62

+50 Love Points. Total: 200 (For reaching the 100 Love Score goal with a person)

Wow. Tanya’s fully devoted to you now, too. You can’t help but smile at that. You did hear her say that feeling Cassie and Stella’s love for you amplified hers as well, so maybe that played a part in such an increase in a short time. In any case, it’s just a number. All it did was confirm what you already felt was the truth already.

- Nguyen, Vivian - Affection Score: 62 (+38).

Love Score: 22 (+22)

Lust Score: 58 (+45)

+50 Friendship Points. Total: 450 (For reaching the 50+ Affection Score goal with a person)

+50 Lust Points. Total: 200 (For reaching the 50+ Lust Score goal with a person)

Viv does have feelings for you… but that lust score seems kind of low though. You can’t help but laugh at that thought, being disappointed that she’s not as horny for you as her blatant flirting projects. Maybe Viv does mask her real emotions with her flirtiness most of the time. She did mention that her flirtiness was a defense mechanism when you told her to ask you out if you wanted to take her flirtiness seriously and not as a joke. There’s definitely more to Viv than she lets on.

- Taylor, Brooke - Affection Score: 82 (+35).

Love Score: 34 (+34)

Lust Score: 72 (+24)

+50 Friendship Points. Total: 450 (For reaching the 50+ Affection Score goal with a person)

+50 Lust Points. Total: 200 (For reaching the 50+ Lust Score goal with a person)

Brooke has strong feelings for you now too, and even considers you a very good friend after your conversation with her yesterday. That’s cool. If that’s the case, you can only hope that what you told her yesterday helped her with her insecurities in some way already; but if not, you’re excited at the idea of being able to constantly support her along the way until she doesn’t feel insecure anymore.

- Pritchett-Wilkerson, Celeste - Affection Score: 66 (+13)

You smile seeing her name. A reminder that this app is only as good as how you use it. You wanted to pursue Celeste. Badly. You bought a trait that changed the world you live in just to have a chance with her. In the end, the thing you needed to change was her, and that's something you will never do. You wanted to pursue her, not a different version of her. You’re happy for her. Even if she is with someone else.

- Hoffman, Rebecca - Affection Score: 25 (+25).

Love Score: 5 (+5)

Lust Score: 38 (+38)

Wow. You made an impression on Becca it seems. Although, you’re not really sure if her lust for you is to be with you in a regular sense, or her lust for you is strictly to dominate you the way she teased at Dorsia with Viv. If it was the latter, would that be something you want? Probably not, but your idea of BDSM is only what you see in porn, so you’re not stupid enough to think that’s an accurate representation. In any case, it’s refreshing that you’re not scared to consider it.

You’re reminded how scary these numbers used to be with Cassie and Stella just a few days ago, and how much more refreshing and encouraging it is to see these numbers with Brooke and Viv, and even Becca, knowing there’s no complications in pursuing them and you can just heed your daughter’s advice to go for it and try to make each other happy if that’s what you all want.

That being said, there’s a new profile here that reminds you of that fear instantly.

- O’Brien, Madeleine - Affection Score: 42 (+25).

Love Score: 16 (+15)

Lust Score: 83 (+11)

+50 Lust Points. Total: 200 (For reaching the 50+ Lust Score goal with a person)

Mr. O’Brien’s words from earlier echo in your head as you see Maddy’s Lust Score.

‘Don’t you fookin’ dare’
