Tanya

You see your neighbor Tanya in a black lace bustier, her shoulders and arms covered by a cropped jacket. She's also wearing tight leather pants and some gladiator heels. She’s by her door, across from yours; just about to leave for a night out from the looks of it.

“Oh, I-uh, I just needed to get out of the apartment” you tell Tanya, which elicits a laugh from her.

“Stella already driving you crazy?” she asks jokingly, so you assume it’s rhetorical. “Well, I was just on my way out to grab a drink —” she says, as she locks the door of her apartment.

“Care to join me?”

‘Why did you say yes?’, you ask yourself.

You find yourself at a trendy bar downtown sitting in a booth across Tanya. She took off her cropped jacket, revealing her bare arms and shoulders, as well as a better view at her ample cleavage. You were already having trouble with your fantasies with Cassie, and now Tanya’s not exactly helping in clearing your mind of perverted thoughts.

She leans into the table and you can’t help but glance at her chest. 'Is she doing this on purpose?'

“So —” she says, breaking the silence, but doesn’t continue. You look at her in the eyes now, she has a smirk on her face. Probably noticed you glanced at her cleavage.

“Haven’t seen you in a while”, she finally adds. You awkwardly smile and rub the back of your neck again.

“Yeah, I-uh, I’ve been… busy”, you reply.

“Making progress on your new book, I’m guessing?” she asks.

“Yeah, it’s actually pretty much done. Just a few more minor changes.”

“Can’t wait to read it.” she tells you, but you’re not really sure if she was being honest.

Another lull, and the silence is getting awkward now. Tanya stands up.

‘Shit. She’s definitely not having a good time. You only just got here and she already wants to leave.’, you think to yourself.

To your surprise, she sits next to you instead, putting her arm around you, while her other hand rests on your lap. The soft skin of her chest makes contact with your arm, and your dick can’t help but twitch.

“Jay, relax. We’re here to have a good time.” she tells you sweetly, the hand around you now playing with your hair from the back while the hand on your lap slowly rubs your thigh.

She’s looking at you eye-to-eye with a mischievous smile, her face coming closer to yours. You can feel her warm breath hitting your lips. She holds the back of your head, pushing you towards her. Your lips meet. You realize this is the first time you’ve kissed anyone since Diane. More than that, this is the first time you’ve kissed anyone other than Diane.

“We’ll need to work on that” Tanya says, after breaking the kiss. You’re still in shock at how quickly this is going.

“Tanya… why?” was all you could muster as a response in your shocked state.

She gives an amused laugh in response. When she notices you’re genuinely curious, she answers, “Why not?”

After that, you loosen up a bit. Maybe it’s the additional **** in your system, or maybe because Tanya really is just a fun person to hang out with; either way, you let your inhibitions go. After a few hours of conversing, drinking, and flirting (mostly from her end), she asks for the check.

“I’ll just go to the restroom, then we can head home. Sound good?”, but she didn’t really wait for your response and headed straight to the restroom.

The bill arrives and you wonder if you should wait for her to split it. Did she want you to pay for all of it? It’s not like you’re cheap, you just feel used if that’s what she intended. ‘Nah. Probably not’.

You give the waitress your card to pay for the bill. You had a good time, it’s the least you can do.

You check your phone and can’t help yourself from checking the Affection Multiplier.

- Ramirez, Antonia - Affection Score: 50. (+9)

Lust Score: 81. (+14)

If you believe this, then she really does want to hook up; but it’s not like you didn’t know that already. She asked you out of nowhere, kissed you out of nowhere, and flirted with you the entire time you were here. She didn’t do all that just to blue ball you right?

You go to the Trait Catalogue and see which Traits the App recommends to you the most.

-Great Kisser (10 pts): Your kisses give your partner small amounts of sexual pleasure.

Yeah, sounds about right. ‘Why not buy it? What do I have to lose?’ you ask yourself.

'Fuck it. I blame it on the ****.'

Available points: 180 Friendship points / 0 Love points / 90 Lust points

After buying the trait, the waitress comes back with the paid bill and your card. You leave a few dollars as a tip. Tanya returns from the restroom, grabs her jacket, and asks, “Shall we go?”

You both share a cab and head home.
