Completing her Collection?

After the surprise but welcome addition of Eleanor, the two other women Jenna already had in mind to complete her Love List would bring her total to seven, which felt strangely appropriate. There were seven bachelorettes in Stardew Valley, or would be when Sandy finally became available with the next patch, and Jenna also lived in a small and self contained village that could charitably be described as 'quaint'. It was almost like she was living the best part of the game, without having to fight slime monsters down a mine or do any of the tedious farming shit.

The first of her final two targets was a big one for Jenna, and she actually got goosebumps as she approached her home.

Jenna could remember quite vividly the life event that let her know she was into girls and not boys. It was when she was thirteen years old and found herself in Miss Warren's gym class. Miss Warren - or Siobhan, as Jenna should probably get into the habit of calling her - must have barely graduated college at the time and was crazy sexy. Jenna had never taken much interest in sport, but seeing Siobhan bouncing around in her short shorts and a top that barely amounted to more than a sports bra had her transfixed, and gym was soon the only subject she actively looked forward to.

She had a very frequent fantasy at that time, which involved Siobhan unexpectedly joining her in the showers after a gym session. It was while she was enjoying that fantasy that Jenna had accidentally learned what masturbation was and how much she liked it. There was even a part of her that wondered if she might have ended up straight if Siobhan hadn't rocked up at her school when she did. Either way, Jenna owed it to her younger self to make that shower dream into a reality. And to her current self as well, since she still saw Miss Warren around the village occasionally, and she looked almost exactly how she remembered her.

Jenna was practically shaking as she rang the bell but, thankfully, her former teacher was as friendly as ever as she came to the door to greet her.

"Jenna! How lovely to see you again after all of this time! How are you?"

"Uh, you remember me?"

"Of course, you were always one of my best students. Very attentive!" Siobhan recalled "Anyway, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I like, got given these and I don't play tennis, so I thought you might be able to use them or whatever"

That wasn't quite true. One of the local shops that Jenna normally considered useless specialised in sports goods, and she had found a deeply discounted tube of six tennis balls in a bargain bin there when she had visited that morning. She thought her former gym teacher might appreciate them as a gift.

"Oh, how thoughtful! You can never have too many of those!"

That was a sentiment Jenna deeply disagreed with, but she was pleased the present seemed to have hit the mark. She opened the tube so she could hand Siobhan each ball as an individual gift.

"There you go, you don't need the stupid packaging"

"Thank you, I really appreciate this!"

"Okay I, uh, better get going then I guess"

"Goodbye, Jenna. Do be sure to come and say 'hello' if you see me around, okay?"

Jenna checked her phone excitedly as she made her way back into the village centre. To her delight, not only was Siobhan now on her list, but those stupid balls had really done their job - she was already on half a heart!

The pair would be showering together in no time at this rate!

Next on Jenna's itinerary was a trip to the pub. She wasn't much of a drinker - it tended to go to her head rather quickly - but she knew who was likely to be behind the bar and wanted to make them the final name on her Love List.

CeCe (Jenna had no idea what the rest of her name was) had been in the final year of high school at the same time Jenna started there, and had caused something of a stir locally that year by reaching the live finals of The X Factor, where she had eventually placed eighth. It had pretty much been regarded as the most important event in the history of the village at the time, and Jenna had become instantly captivated by CeCE when she performed a couple of songs in front of the school for some filmed segment on the show. Not only was she beautiful, but CeCE had a level of confidence Jenna couldn't have imagined possessing, and seemed to almost radiate star quality.

However, one slightly off key performance of a Mariah Carey song she apparently never wanted to sing in the first place, and she was out of the competition, her brief time in the national limelight over just weeks after it had begun. CeCe still remained something of a local celebrity, and Jenna would occasionally head to the pub on a Friday night to watch her step out from behind the bar and perform a few karaoke numbers for the locals.

"Hey, what can I get you?"

CeCe was at the kind of level of familiarity with Jenna where she recognised her instantly but didn't know her name.

"Um, I'll have a pint of cider and, uh, you can get whatever you want for yourself as well and I'll, like, pay for it. I mean, like, not a bottle of champagne or anything like that, obviously"

"We don't actually serve that here anyway" CeCe giggled "And thank you, that is a very kind offer but, even though I work in a pub, I don't actually drink"

"Oh, okay, never mind"

What the fuck was Jenna supposed to gift her then? Something to do with singing? She'd have to figure it out another time.

"Here you go, enjoy!"

CeCe passed Jenna her drink with a warm smile, before quickly moving off to serve an impatient looking guy waving a ten pound note at her from the other side of the bar.

Jenna took her pint to an empty table and consulted her Love List once more.

Okay, well at least CeCe was on there - listed as Cecilia - but there was no half heart head start this time. It had still been a very successful day's work, all things considered, with three new names added to Jenna's list and a steamy make out session with her sexy frenemy having also been accomplished.

Feeling emboldened, not to mention a little horny, after drinking a full pint of cider, Jenna decided there was time for some more fun yet and made an impromptu stop off at Imogen's shop on the way home.

"Hey, don't you, like, finish here pretty soon? Wanna 'nother date at my place?"

"Yes, that would be lovely, Jenna!" the cute store attendant smiled "I'm pretty much finished here for the day, I can come back with you now if you like?"

Jenna smiled to herself as she watched Imogen shutting up shop for the evening. She still had at least half a tub of mini chocolates left in her room, and was pretty sure she would be able to find out just how much nudity based fun three hearts could get her before the night was through.
