With understanding and a kiss.

You feel your eyes water when you see Mia smiling reassuringly at you. The tightness on your chest slowly disappearing.

“I know you can’t, sweetie.” She gives you a light kiss on the forehead. “I know better than anyone how empty words can be, and how promises that seem to be for a lifetime can be easily broken.”

“Mia, I-”

“Shhhh.” She shushes you, gently putting a finger over your lips as she smiles. “I know. Look, I don’t blame you for not telling me about this yourself. I know you would’ve if Emma hadn’t offered. I don’t blame you for using the thing, either. I still remember how tough things were for you at the beginning of the school year. And I told you, I’m not worried about my feelings for you anymore. I want you, David. I want to be with you. I don’t mind sharing you. I’m just uncertain about what the future holds for all of us, but we’ve talked about that before, haven’t we?” She chuckles. “A level of uncertainty is to be expected, right?”

Mia softly presses her shiny red lips against yours, whispering to you right after. “You’re my boyfriend now, too, and you know by now I don’t give good grades to half assed work.”

You can’t help but crack a smile at that. Tension leaves your body. Your muscles relax and the knot on your throat vanishes. You embrace your new girlfriend tightly, and she leads your head to rest at her ample bosom.

She chuckles. “I think I’ll enjoy having a young boyfriend.”

“You will. I’ll make sure of it.”

“I’ll hold you to that.” She lifts your head and captures you mouth with hers. Her tongue parts your lips to wrestle with yours. You suddenly feel her hands firmly on your behind.

“Have the others ever told you you have a really nice butt?”

She’s being surprisingly aggressive, but it’s not like it’s unwelcomed. It’s a testament to her confidence, and her being comfortable with you.

And speaking of being comfortable, you allow yourself to finally indulge in an ever present temptation and grab Mia’s big, perfect ass through her sweater dress. You squeeze it greedily as you return her deep, passionate kiss. You can still taste some wine in her lips. Her tongue wildly explores every corner of your mouth.

Your lips part to breathe, and looking deep into your eyes, Mia takes your left hand from her ass and places it on her right breast, finally allowing you to touch those huge tits you’ve desired for so long, even if it’s through the fabric of her clothes. Even for their size, they feel relatively firm. On her part, she sneaks a hand under your shirt and lets it roam your chest and your stomach.

“My, I knew you were getting in shape, but it seems you’re getting really good results. I’m a lucky girl.” She smiles devilishly as she feels the results of your workout on her hands.

“If you’re lucky, then I’m nothing short of blessed.” You reply, giving both her ass and tit a squeeze for emphasis, making her body shudder before she starts devouring you once more. She’s hungry, as if she’d been holding back this whole time.

“I want you.” She gasps between kisses. “I need you so much.” She nibbles your lower lip. “…But this isn’t the place.” She smiles wryly.

It’s like a bucket of cold water drops on you when you suddenly remember you’re in the middle of a vineyard. Luckily you’re surrounded by vines, so nobody should’ve seen your little show. Wait, when did it get so dark!? The sun is about to set completely and it’s starting to get chilly.

“Shall we continue this later tonight?” She hits you once more with those intense bedroom eyes.

“Yes please.” What else can you answer?

Mia gives you a better look and suddenly starts laughing. She gets a paper tissue out of her purse, which she uses to clean your face. “Sorry. I got lipstick all over you. I guess that’ll be something to keep in mind from now on.”

Honestly, that was so intense that your brain sort of short-circuited, so you just stand there as Mia cleans your face.

You start walking back to the main building, hand in hand. Before leaving the vineyard though, you catch a glimpse of Mia’s mischievous smile as she whispers in your ear.

“Want to see something interesting?”

You know what? Nah, you’re good. There’s no need for more surprises. You don’t even like surpri– Yeah right. You nod wordlessly and Mia releases your hand and speeds up to walk in front of you.

She then hooks her fingers at the hem of her dress and slowly pulls it up, showing you her G-string-clad behind, which is basically her bare ass. She does a little spin and you see the little piece of black fabric covering her crotch and the excited grin on her face as she shows you.

She pulls down her dress and walks back to you, holding your arm.

“What do you think?” She asks with a wink. Man, this woman doesn’t want you to cool off.

“You were right. They’re terrible and have very little fabric. I hope they were cheap.” You say, but you’re not fooling her. She knows by your expression that you loved it.

Mia even holds your arm as you enter the restaurant part of the building for dinner and as a waiter leads you to your table. Neither of you give a damn about what people may think anymore.

You sit down opposite to each other in a table for two again. The place is fancier than the restaurant you had lunch at, made to resemble a wine cellar. Along the brick walls are shelves with countless bottles of wine. The white cushioned chairs are pretty comfortable, and the oak tables look pretty nice. You place your order, and it’s a nice break to see the waitress that’s serving you to do so with a very professional, unjudging smile.

“Let me pay for the wine. I can do that, at least.” You tell Mia.

“Very well.” Mia nods. “By the way, I’ve been wondering. You’re living in that shed because it’s the place the school gave you, but you don’t seem to have money problems.”

You sigh. “Yeah. My family’s well off. Very well off. My father is on business on Japan, so he sends me an allowance every month. It’s about as much as I’d make from a part-time job.” You explain. “I’m good at saving money, so I always have some left for emergencies.”

Mia nods approvingly. “It’s good to know you’re smart with your money. It’s a good habit to have. Please don’t lose it.”

“I’ll try.”

“I’m serious. Look…” Mia sighs, but stops herself from delving more into the subject. You can guess she was about to start talking about the future, but didn’t think it was appropriate at this point.

“I guess we better use this chance to talk about what I’m getting into, right?”

“Yeah. It’s a good opportunity.” You agree. “Emma’s told you a lot already, hasn’t she?”

“Some of it. You have some rules and you want everyone to get along, right? Sounds idealistic to me, but that might be the jaded adult in me speaking.” She grimaces.

“I guess it does sound idealistic.” You admit. “I know it’s been working out so far, but we’re still a small group when you think about it. Still, that’s what I want. I think that if I was dating everyone separately then I’d truly feel like I was cheating.”

Mia smiles softly. “I see your point. Very well, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Your food arrives and you make a toast with the wine you chose.

“You know this will all come down to how you manage your time, right?” She says.

“Yes.” You nod. “I… got a few things from the app that are helping with that.”

“Oh?” Her eyes shine with innocent curiosity and interest as you tell her of the Quick Reader and Seldom Sleepy traits.

“So you now read faster and need less sleep? That’s sure to help a lot.” She agrees. “I wish I could sleep less. I’d get more things done.”

“Didn’t Emma tell you I can give some traits to other people?” You ask with a raised eyebrow, resulting in Mia raising her own.

“It seems she omitted that little detail. So you could make me need less sleep if you wanted to?” She asks with a hint of eagerness.

“Well, yes and no. Basically, the more people I get close to, the more of a certain currency I’m rewarded with. I can use that currency to buy the traits, and the Seldom Sleepy one is a little expensive. I’ve been thinking of giving it to everyone if they want, but right now I’d only be able to give it to three other people and that would leave me with very few points left.”

“Uh-huh. So it’s not as straightforward as I thought. Still, I wonder where it came from and why you got it. You say it just sort of appeared and you can’t turn it off, right?”

You nod again. “It had a message that said ‘This is a gift. Enjoy.’ And that’s it. There’s a glossary for terms and tutorials, but nothing on its origin.”

Mia makes a complicated expression as she looks from her food, to you, back to you and to her food again before she gives in. “Ok, fine! I’m too curious! Tell me my score with you.”

You guess it’s natural to be curious. If you could see your own score towards the girls you’d want to know, but you don’t feel comfortable taking a wild guess. So after telling her that you haven’t checked her score in a while, you tell her.

-Owens, Mia-
Affection Score: 100
Love Score: 81 (+25)
Lust Score: 86 (+51)

You watch her face blush as she hears her lust score. Though she made it pretty obvious back in the vineyard.

“Fine, I won’t make excuses.” She says. “And you’re looking forward to tonight just as much as I am, so don’t give me that smug smirk.”

“What? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Your smirk is quickly replaced by and obviously fake innocent smile.

“Yeah, right.” Mia shakes her head, but smirks as she eyes your from above her glasses.
