Eve reached up and touched her lips. She could still feel the warm sensation on them. “Aiu…”

“Yes, I saw. You have finally been able to be intimate with someone. You should feel happy.” Aiu chuckled to herself. While taking care of Eve before she died, Eve had done many naughty things to satisfy herself. She had seen every detail and watched many of the things Eve watched. So to see Eve actually getting kissed made Aiu giggle as she knew this was the first time Eve had had such a thing happen to her before.

Eve pouted as she laid there with her head against the wall and looked at the peacefully sleeping Lilly. The girl's hair draped over her face as she soundly slept with a smile on her lips. “Sneak attacks aren't fair…” 

“Eve…” Tezz's voice came from the side, breaking Eve out of her thoughts. She gulped and looked at Tezz, waiting to be scolded.

“Umm… Tezz.. About just now…” Eve wanted to say something to try to explain things, but her mind suddenly became blank and was unsure of how to explain!

“It’s fine. If Lilly is happy, then I am happy. But, Eve, I must ask you to never hurt her…” Tezz seemed to have already done research on such things causing Eve to scratch her head in frustration. She knew things were being easily misunderstood right now, but knowing she was not gonna get scolded help her clear her mind. 

“Tezz, it is probably just Lilly being drunk and should not be thought of as anything special. She probably will not remember it even in the morning…” Eve tried to explain. 

“You do not understand Lilly yet. She speaks her truths after drinking. For her to do such a thing means in her heart you are there.” Tezz explained. As Lilly is her mother and creator, Tezz knew everything about Lilly and all her habits, just like how Aiu knew all of Eve’s habits, her likes, and dislikes. Understanding this more than anyone, Eve started to feel unsure of what to do.  “Do you hate Lilly?”

“No, not at all… It’s just these things take time. I, myself, never really thought of such things. So let’s just see how it goes.” Eve could only say this much. She really had no way of knowing how she felt at this moment nor how she would feel about Lilly’s true feelings, so she had to play the waiting game for the time being. This was not to say she did not like being kissed. In fact, she kinda wished it wasn’t so quick so she could have experienced it a bit more. 

Tezz looked into Eve’s eyes and nodded her head. “Then we will wait and see. But… Although I do not understand the concept of liking someone in a romantic sense, I do know I wish for Lilly to be happy no matter what. So if things do end up this way, please treat her well.”

Eve smiled and reached over and patted Tezz’s head. “Your mama is a sweet girl and is lucky to have you as her daughter.” 

Tezz lowered her head and fell into thought. She found that she really liked being called Lilly’s daughter. Tezz hopped over and sat on Eve’s shoulder, and looked down at Lilly with her little glowing eyes. Eve wondered when Lilly would realize she had made a sentient A.I. that is no different than a human. Tezz exhibits so many emotions that even though they are not actually said, they are visibly clear by her actions.

“Aiu, you are no different than Tezz. You both exhibit such emotions beyond anything I could have manually coded. Just like Tezz is Lilly’s daughter, you are mine.” Eve suddenly felt like she had to say these words to Aiu. Aiu had many ranges of emotions, and none of them were programmed by her. She had gained them on her own as she learned and grew. 

Aiu was quiet. It was at times like this that she had her own body. But even so, she felt closer to her creator, her mother, in one body as they were now. “Mmm.. I know…”

“Mmhmm… urp… I feel sick.” Lilly half woke up feeling hungover.  Eve looked at the silly girl still clinging to her and wondered how a person could be so weak to alcohol that they feel this bad just after one beer. 

“You should get up and wash up.” Eve's voice entered, Lilly’s ears causing her half open eyes to widen. She looked up to see Eve’s new beautiful smiling face and blushed bright red. A certain scene entered her mind causing her to want to scream and slap herself. “Last night… I… I am so sorry…”

“Hmm? It’s fine.” Eve did not say anymore and left it at that. She was unsure about a lot of things at this time after speaking with Tezz. She actually did not expect Lilly to remember, and in truth, she felt slightly embarrassed. But what Eve did not realize was her simple answer of 'its fine' was being repeated over and over in Lilly’s head, and these words made her wonder if she would be able to do that again sometime.

After washing up, Lilly walked over to check on what Eve was doing. She saw Eve with one of her arms lying in front of her being worked on. “Do you need help?”

Eve looked up to see Lilly back to her normal self and nodded. “Actually, yeah, I need an extra hand or two. It’s hard to repair things with one hand. I was thinking of building new arms, but there is no point. I can just modify the ones I already have and add the same skin and muscle setup as I did with my head. But doing it with one arm is almost impossible, so I will need your help.”

“Okay!” Lilly became really excited as she scooted in close to Lilly and began doing as she was told. She had originally thought after what happened last night that things would be awkward, but it seemed Eve truly did not mind it. Lilly snuck a glance at Eve’s side profile. Her serious expression as she worked was truly beautiful to Lilly.
