WHAT IS THE ALGORITHM OF LOVE?

Faith stared at her computer screen. The question was written in the forum she used to read was still getting answers, all these months after she created it. She didn’t need it anymore, but some of the answers were interesting, so she was still browsing it.

The question was about what kind of computational algorithm would be able to produce feelings of love in an Artificial Intelligence. Androids with feelings were living among them for decades now, and some were even made for sexual or romantic ends. Still, their devotion to their owner was usually hard-coded, that meaning, it was written directly in the code that they should love that person. Sometimes it could even be rewritten to be directed at someone else. Faith didn’t believe that was true love. After all, it was impossible for her to brainwash herself and fall in love or fall out of love with someone. Life would be so simpler if that was true.

After all, she didn’t consider herself attractive at all. She was a short woman with short black hair and a chubby belly she was always trying to lose, usually with no success. She also wore glasses, but not the kind of glasses that make women look sexier. It was the kind of glasses that made her look like a nerd. Which was probably how people saw her since she worked as a developer in the area of robotics.

Her other issue, she was only able to fall in love with girls. That was not an aspect she wanted to change about herself. However, all the girls she fell in love turned out to be straight. It’s not that she never met girls like her, but for some reason, she hardly had interest in them, even when she found them attractive. So coding in herself who she should fall in love with or not would make her life so much easier.

And yet, she couldn’t accept that as true love. Love wasn’t so easy to be inserted inside you as if you were a database. But she still didn’t know how to produce true love. There were very few studies about it because apparently, it wasn’t something people worried about. That’s what made her do the question on the internet.

The first forum was an IT forum. As expected, most people posting had low knowledge, interest or even experience in love. That’s why she made the question in another forum focused on relationships. There were lots of different answers:

She has to be hot, that’s all that matter. - PowerfulTiger

As a girl, I want to feel loved. But sometimes they love me and I don’t love them, so maybe it’s not that simple. - AliceInLoveland

When I broke up with my girlfriend, all I could think was about the travels we did together. The places we ate together. The nights we spent together… And now I feel like crying again. - YourCharmingPrince

I love the way she smells, the tone of her voice. How she touches me. Just by seeing her face, my heart almost jumps out of my chest. Oh yeah, I love her breasts, too. - MissPillowPrincess

Well, someone I can have fun with, have smart talks. Like a friend, I guess. A friend I have sex with. Well, friendship is also love, so I guess that’s it. Having fun with someone. - TheBear

There were lots of answers in the same line.

As expected, none of those were technical enough. Most of them probably didn’t know what an algorithm was even though Faith tried to explain it. So she brought the answer to the IT forum to discuss with those used to the tech part of it.

She ended up building a pretty complex algorithm that could be resumed as “Create memories and define preferences”. Sure, that was still hard coding something in the AI, but she wasn’t coding herself as the target of love, just the reasons to love her. Maybe the AI wouldn’t even love her in the end.

The preferences part was the easiest one. She just needed to input characteristics she knew she had. She didn’t want to input the defects in any way because that would be unfair. So even though it was easier, she took some time to find what her qualities in her appearance were. Since she could hardly recognize them. As for the psychological, it was a little more complicated, since she was thinking about herself, it was hard to find her good and bad points without external help.

For the memories, Faith was going to input some experiences between her and the AI even before she awake. That was somewhat complex, as she had to program events to interact with the AI and make her react as she would in real life, so it would look like her. She made some simulations with the AI personality, but she didn’t want that to be the real deal, just using as a base to the programmed events, that she would leave to be executed by itself.

She reviewed all the important functions as she compiled the code without an error. It was ready to be uploaded in the hardware.

She stretched her body and looked to her side, where a body of a naked adult woman was supported by cables in a home platform. Faith walked to her. The android’s body was finished since several weeks ago, just waiting for her personality to be uploaded inside her. Faith touched the face of the woman who was taller than her and had sparkling and wavy blonde hair, falling to the middle of her back. Her cheek was soft, just like a real person.

The skeleton was manufactured, but the exterior was personalized by Faith herself. She had started building it even before starting her research on the algorithm of love. Her eyes were shut, but Faith knew there were two pretty blue spheres behind her eyelids. Her hair was silky to the touch and smelled like flowers. Her breasts were bigger than Faith’s and her belly slim. Blushing a little, Faith looked below to the android’s sexual organ. Sex technology was one of the most advanced in robotics and that organ looked and worked just like the real one. It could even send signals of pleasure to the AI after being stimulated, even though using AI in sex-bots was a gray area.

The way she built the AI was expecting the android to fall in love with her but there was no way to know she herself would feel the same. That’s why Faith made the android appearance just like a certain girl she desired in high school. A little older and more mature, as she built the android to be someone close to her age.

She touched the android’s lips. They felt soft and a little humid, just like a real woman. That made Faith’s heart skip stronger. She was still nervous, but seeing the android move and talk to her would be like a dream now. Somehow, she felt like she had fallen in love already.

She walked to the computer again. The code was ready to be deployed. There was a long USB cable connecting the computer to the android’s nape. The upload would probably take some time, and maybe the android would also take some time to boot. But before that, she had to decide a name. Since she would insert memories in the AI, she needed a name for the android to call her own.

She considered giving the same name as the girl she was modeled after, but that didn’t look right. It was weird trying to think of a name to her own lover instead of something like a daughter. Although she was somehow both. She could always sort it at random, but sometimes names had a meaning, and those were important.

“Galatea,” she whispered while looking at the android’s face.

The story of Pygmalion flashed in her mind. After all, it was as if she was recreating a modern version of the Greek myth. Pygmalion made a statue of a pretty woman and the statue was given life by the goddess of love, Aphrodite. The statue didn’t have a name, but with time she started being called Galatea. Faith thought that was a good choice. It was symbolic and it ringed nice. And if she was Pygmalion, technology was her goddess.

She poked again, feeling its softness. She felt an urge to kiss them but stopped herself as that would go against what she planned. Their first kiss had to be in real life and when the two of them were awake. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair.

She typed the name Galatea on the computer and, after giving a big breath, pushed the “Upload” button. The processor in the computer started to make a loud noise as the data started to be uploaded into Galatea’s body.

It would take some time. The computer screen was predicting five hours. Yet, she didn’t feel like moving away. She sat in a char in front of the computer and waited, side-eyeing the frozen android. She could talk to someone or do something through the internet, but her heart was beating fast as if she was going to meet someone she was eager to see soon.

After one hour of wait, she stood up and walked to the small kitchen in her apartment. The apartment was small, with a room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Most of her things were in the room with the packed kitchen being the place where she prepared her food. Living with someone else there would be hard, but it was possible. They would share the bed, after all.

She poured tea expecting that it would calm her down. When she wasn’t looking at her computer, she felt nervous by each sound the machine made. Symbolically, she thought, that was the process giving life to her Galatea. At least, if she’s successful.

She took her cup of tea and walked to her room again, sitting now in her bed to watch the android in front of her. She had seen a lot of AIs being uploaded in androids during her work. She knew the android was supposed to move by themselves as the AI successfully takes control of their body. In the most sentient and advanced AIs, the android would be confused to be awakened in a new world. If Faith had done a good job, Galatea should be the more advanced she ever met.

Still, a little less than four hours to upload. If she had a computer as powerful as her workplace, the process should be done already. She was thinking that if she had any problem with it, which was a high probability, she would need to wait all that time for a new deploy. And again, and again, until she makes it right.

Faith threw her body on the bed and closed her eyes. She didn’t want to sleep and lose the moment Galatea would wake. Still, she was tired and had slept little in the last few days she was finishing the code, so she blacked out even though she tried not to.

When she opened her eyes, she was startled. Her head turned to the android at the same time, but she was still frozen, just the same as when Faith fell asleep. Looking at her computer, she saw a message flashing “10 minutes left”. She was lucky. A little more and she would’ve missed it. She stood up and walked to the android, stopping in front of her. She realized the android’s lips and fingers were shaking by themselves already. That was common in the final process of installing an AI.

5 minutes left.

She felt her mouth dry. Her hands were shaking. At that moment, she was wishing she never started it. Sure, Galatea was her creation, but she was still a stranger. And supposed to be her lover.

3 minutes left.

And what if Galatea didn’t love her? She wasn’t sure her algorithm was going to work. What if Galatea felt grossed out instead. She had a moral sense in her AI and what Faith was doing was hardly ethical.

1 minute left.

Galatea’s eyelids shook. Faith felt her heat shoot when those eyes opened.

40 seconds left.

Galatea’s lips moved. A glint of something droll-like connected the higher lip with the lower lip.

10 seconds left.

Faith moved to Galatea’s back. She knew after the upload was over, she needed to unplug her so she could move. She also knew the final seconds of upload could make her face convulse and she didn’t want to see that. That is if the process was successful.

3 seconds left.

She touched Galatea’s neck. It was warm, just like a real person. It was even sweating, although Faith knew that wasn’t actually sweat.

Upload complete.

The computer’s voice announced. Galatea’s whole body convulsed for a second. Faith moved to disconnect the USB cable. The process wouldn’t be complete while she was still connected. After that, she went back to face the android. This time she was silent and motionless. Since the USB cable was now disconnected, her body fell forward. Faith supported her so she wouldn’t fall to the ground.

Galatea’s body was light, soft and warm. Faith kept holding the android’s body on her arms, but minutes passed and she wouldn’t move. Usually, they should be awake by that time already. She was wondering if it was a failure.

She sighed and tried to put Galatea back on her support system but she felt something soft brushing against her back. Startled at first, Faith soon understood what was going on. Galatea was probably moving her hands and trying to grasp something in her reach. That was common behavior for a newly awakened android. They acted like a newborn baby at first.

Faith tried to move Galatea to the bed, but suddenly she looked heavier. So she just stood there, trying to talk to the android.

“Galatea. Are you awake? It’s me, Faith. Do you recognize my voice?”

The android body shook. She was clearly reacting to Faith’s words. Galatea held Faith’s body and tried to raise her body. Faith felt like she would fall if she didn’t hold her ground. When she realized, Galatea was looking at her with her sparkly blue eyes.

“Fa…” she mumbled and Faith knew the AI was at least working.

“Galatea. Can you hear me? What…”

Suddenly, the android looked stronger. She released Faith’s body and stood up on both her feet. Faith could see the beautiful woman in front of her. Even though that body was in her room the all that time and she herself had built part of it, now that it was moving by itself, Faith felt embarrassed by it.

“C-Can you stand? Good, I have some clothes ready for you, so wait a min…”

Before Faith could finish her sentence, Galatea threw herself in her direction. Before the girl could voice her surprise, she felt her mouth shut by the android’s lips. Galatea pushed Faith to the bed while kissing her.

Faith could feel Galatea’s silky hair sticking to her skin. Her lips were soft and if felt good. The android used her tongue as well. Faith could also feel Galatea’s soft breasts and warm skin. It didn’t feel any different from the touch of a real girl, not that she had much experience with them.

When Galatea finally released Faith, she stood up and looked at her partner with a worried expression on her face.

“S-Sorry…” she said. There was a faint blush on her cheeks.

“W-Why are you apologizing?” Faith said, recovering her breath. She sat on the bed. “Better yet, why did you do that?”

“In the dream, you said I could kiss you when I wake up. I wanted it so much. I didn’t resist.”

“A dream?” Faith knew Galatea would get all her inputs before starting up, including the programmed events, but that the android considered it a dream was news to her.

“Y-Yeah,” suddenly, Galatea gasped and gave two steps back. “D-Did I ruin it? Did you want it be different?”

“No, no, that’s not it,” Faith waved her hands. “Well, I didn’t expect it happening like this, but I only said that because if you kissed me there, you would have that as your first kiss, and I wouldn’t have that memory,” Faith looked away: “I didn’t dislike it, so it’s fine.”

Galatea let out a relieved smile. Faith was still nervous about being in front of a naked woman. A beautiful naked woman. She pointed to a box behind Galatea.

“T-There’s some clothes there,” she said. “You can choose whichever you want. Just put on something.”

“Right. Sorry.”

Saying that Galatea went to the box and rustled inside. At first, Faith was planning to choose what the android would use, but she decided it would be more interesting to see what she would choose for herself.

“About you,” Faith said, avoiding looking at Galatea who had her naked back turned to her. “You do understand about yourself, right? About your nature.”

“You mean the fact that I’m not a human,” Galatea said without looking at Faith. “I’m an android. An artificial human being. My personality is an Artificial Intelligence. I’m aware of that.”

“Does that bother you?”

“Why would it?” The android said and turned back to Faith, showing a black one-shoulder top and black shorts. “How about these?”

“Oh, yeah,” Faith gave the clothing a curious look. “They’ll look nice on you.”

Galatea smiled.

“Don’t forget the underwear, though,” Faith said and Galatea nodded, turning back to the box.

“Do you like sexy or cute better?”

“C-Choose whichever you like more.”

The android searched for some minutes until she looked satisfied with her findings. She was raising her leg to put on her panties when her eyes meet Faith.

“I’ll do it at the bathroom,” she said and disappeared through the door.

Faith thought that was a weird thing to worry about since she was naked the whole time. Although she couldn’t understand completely how Galatea’s mind worked.

She was happy the android was dexterous in her mechanic body. She adapted to it fast, but that was expected. Since the implanted memories featured Faith’s house, she also could walk around as if she was living there for months.

Galatea had a shy smile when she came back wearing the top and shorts. She looked at Faith with expectation, as if making a silent question.

“You’re amazing,” Faith said and Galatea smile became brighter. Faith started playing with her fingers, nervous. “Say, when you kissed me before, was that because I asked you in the dream?”

“Huh?” Galatea made a confused face and approached the bed Faith was sitting on. “I did it because I love you, of course!” She looked excited as she said it.

“L-Love?” Faith replied trying to hide the smile forming on her face. “So, can you tell me why you love me?”

“Why?” Galatea sat beside Faith, who felt her heart skip with the perfume coming out of the android so close to her. Her mind turned back to the kiss before. “I like your face, your voice, it makes me feel good. You always treated me so well, too. I’m an android, right? Wasn’t I programmed to love you?”

“No, you weren’t. I actually wanted to give you the experiences and make you love me by yourself. Well, maybe that’s not the right way to say it…”

“So loving you wasn’t programmed in me?”

Faith shook her head. Galatea looked to the other side. When she faced the other woman again, she had a sad expression.

“Then it didn’t matter to you if I love you or not?”

“What? No, that’s not it!” Faith said, jumping from the bed. “I’m really happy you ended up loving me. Really happy!”

“But that was by chance…”

“Because I wanted it to happen. I wanted you to fall in love with me, not being forced into it. It wasn’t by chance, either. I worked for it, I just didn’t force you.”

“But then it didn't matter if I love you or not?” She asked again. “You would just give up if things didn’t go as you planned…”

“I would,” Faith let out a bitter smile. “But If I had to say, I did fall in love with you. Or at least with the ideals, I had of you? I can’t say I really loved you because you weren’t real yet, but I know if you rejected me, that would make me really sad.”

“So…”

“But that’s how life is, right? It would make me sad, but I would get over it eventually, just like I would with a human girl. Besides, you would live with me, so we would at least be friends.”

“I see. I guess I can understand that, but I don’t get why it was so important.”

“So being forced to love me wouldn’t bother you?”

Galatea stopped for a moment as she processed the question.

“I don’t think so. The fact that I love you wouldn’t change. And the fact that you loved me so much you wanted me to love you would make me happy.”

“I guess I can understand that,” Faith smiled. “But I would feel guilty.”

“I see,” Galatea paused before adding: “So I’m happy you made me like this. I wouldn’t want you to feel bad.”

Faith could understand why Galatea would feel like that. Wanting the other to love you could also be interpreted as a sign of love. Yet, in that case, it was more complicated than that. But she didn’t say anything more.

For the rest of the day, Galatea had a lot of questions to Faith. Most of them were related to Faith’s daily life and how Galatea would be inserted in it. One of those questions, however, took Faith by surprise. While she was making dinner, Galatea approached her with the question that made her feel a chill on her stomach.

“Was my appearance based on someone?”

Trying to keep her cool, Faith kept taking care of the food in the electronic stove.

“W-Why the question?”

“I was just thinking. You modeled my body, right? So it would make sense to make it according to your tastes. However, modeling an appearance from nothing is harder than using a base for it, be it a real person or a fictional one. I just wanna know if I’m based on someone.”

“Y-Yeah. Actually, your body is modeled after a girl I knew from high school,” Faith paused, making a complex expression. “A girl I had a crush on.”

“I see. My personality, too?”

“No, your personality is a little...different. It wasn’t really based on anyone and I had few things to work on since most of the work is made inside the personality module I used. Do your body being based after someone else bother you?”

Galatea thought for some minutes, then let out a smile.

“Not really. If it’s someone you were in love with, that makes me happy,” she paused again and the smile disappeared from her face. “Unless there’s a chance you would choose her and turn me down in the future.”

“There’s no way,” Faith let out a bitter smile. “She was never interested in women, after all. And I lost all contact with her. She might even have a family of her own, now,” after another pause, she turned to Galatea with a startled face. “B-But that’s not the only reason! I wouldn’t do that to you!”

Galatea seemed a little indifferent about Faith’s last rambling, although she looked more relieved in general. She looked over her companion’s shoulder, to the food she was preparing.

“It’s a nice smell,” she said. “Can I eat it, too?”

“If you want,” Faith said, turning back to the stove. “You don’t have a need for nutrients, but your stomach can process them,” she paused, as in thought and started explaining again. “Your stomach can process food and your tongue can feel the taste. This whole technology is for making you more human than an actual necessity. Your stomach does transform part of what you eat in bio-energy, but the rest will be…” she blushed slightly before saying it. “Well, expelled, like in human bodies. Same with water, actually.”

“But then, wouldn’t I need the food for moving?”

“Not really. Bio-energy isn’t sustainable enough. You would need to keep eating all the time for that. Your body uses a mix of kinetic energy and solar energy for general use. And in emergency cases, we can plug you directly to the electricity. Bio-energy is used more as a reserve. In your case, your stomach does send an alert to your body when the bio-energy is low, which translate as hungry. It’s mostly another function to make you look more human, though, and not a necessity. If you feel bothered by it, I could turn it off without problems.”

“No, it’s fine. I don’t really mind being an android, but if that’ll make me look more human in your eyes, I like this way better. Besides, I want to eat your food.”

Galatea smiled and Faith felt herself blushing more. She built her in a way the reserved bio-energy would work together with the other sources of energy. That means when the reserve is low, Galatea would feel weaker. That was something Faith could eventually undo, but at the time, it looked like a good idea. However, she wanted to respect Galatea’s wishes.

More and more, Galatea’s wishes seemed to be the same as hers, though.

They ate dinner that night. Galatea would smile and moan in pleasure with the food. That made Faith happy, but also curious.

“I wonder,” it was Galatea, though, who voiced her curiosity. “Is the taste I feel the same as you?”

“Who knows?” Faith said, staring at her companion. “But that’s not just between a human and an android, right? Who knows if a salad tastes the same for me as it does to another human? All we can say is ‘it’s salty, it’s bitter, it’s sour’. Can I know if salty for her isn’t sweet for me?”

“I see. That’s an interesting thought. On that way, maybe the taste I feel is the same the person who made my tongue would feel?”

“I don’t think it’s that easy. They make your brain process: ‘this is sweet, this is salty’, but specific tastes would be hard to program. I’m not sure how your preferences would work.”

“I like it because you made it,” Galatea said with a smile.

“I-I see,” Faith said, feeling embarrassed. “That makes me happy. But well, I think the perception of taste can change even between people. For example, I hate carrots. My father likes it. I can’t understand, so I can just assume what he tastes is different. Can’t imagine someone liking a taste as disgusting as that. Also heard about people adapting their tastes to start liking something they disliked. Don’t really understand it much. I don’t understand much about human bodies.”

“Oh, your father, ”Galatea said, excited. “Could you tell me about your family?”

“My family is complicated,” Faith looked away. “I’m an only child. My mother is dead and my father doesn’t want to see me anymore.”

“Why?” Galatea sent Faith a worried look.

“Because of my work. My father, he,” she looked ashamed. When her eyes meet Galatea, she flinched. “He hates androids. Or at least, the ones who act like humans. So when I decided my line of work, he didn’t take it too well.”

“I see,” Galatea slowly took another fork of food to her mouth.

“But of course, you have nothing to do with it,” Faith was fast to add. “My father stopped talking to me when I made my career choice. Way before I even started building you. He’s a doctor and can’t accept people treating android as human beings. He’s fine with the ones without intelligence, though.”

“I understand. Still, he would never accept me, right?”

“No,” Faith answered with a sad voice. “But I don’t think he needs to. A lot of people can’t accept androids being treated as humans. When I choose my line of work, I became their enemy.”

Galatea slowly took the fork with food to her mouth, making a dispirited face.

“Did that sour your food?” Faith asked with a bitter smile.

“Huh?” Galatea said, confused. “No, still tastes good.”

Faith let out a laugh, leaving Galatea even more confused.

Later, when the night came and Faith was getting ready to sleep, Galatea approached her with timid steps. Faith was about to strip out of her clothes, but Galatea’s stare made her stop.

“Is there a problem?” Faith asked.

“Are we going to share the bed?”

Faith threw a look at her own bed. It wasn’t a big bed, so they would need to sleep very close, but there wasn’t any other place where Galatea could sleep.

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

“No. I was just wondering if we’re going to have sex.”

“What?!” Faith said, startled. She gave a serious look at Galatea. The way she was blunt about it took her by surprise.

“My body was built like that, right?” She gave a clear answer. “So I was wondering you were planning for us to do it.”

“D-Do you want to?”

“Yeah,” Galatea gave a smile. “I took a bath, so that’s okay, right? I don’t know if I can make you feel good, but I want to have sex with you!” Galatea looked at Faith excited but realizing her partner’s silence, her face became serious. “Was I wrong, maybe? You don’t want it?”

“I-It’s not that,” Faith was fast answering it. “It’s true that the reason why I built you like this was that I was planning it, but…” She paused, looking right into Galatea’s face. The android seemed close to be disappointed. “You know what, fine, let’s do it.”

“Really?” Galatea’s face illuminated in a smile.

“Y-Yeah. I confess I am a little nervous, but I since we’re supposed to be lovers, we’ll do it eventually, right? Are you really okay with it?”

“Yes!” Galatea answered with a huge smile.

Faith took off her shirt and her pants, leaving only her underwear. Looking at her own body, she felt somewhat ashamed. She didn’t have a body as perfect as Galatea. She found her breast too small and her tummy a little chubby.

However, Galatea’s eyes were shining while looking at her.

“It’s the first time I see you like that,” she said.

Faith sighed and approached Galatea. She put her arms around the android and kissed her lips. It felt as good as before and made her heart race. While kissing the android’s neck, Faith started to remove her top and her shorts after that. Soon, Galatea too had only her underwears. Faith let her eyes examine the voluptuous body in front of her, so different from her own. Galatea was also taller, so Faith had to stretch her body to kiss her.

Gently, Faith pulled Galatea and lead her to the bed. She kept kissing her neck while gently making her body lie down. Faith kissed Galatea’s lips and looked at her pleasured face.

“Does that really makes you feel that good?” Faith asked.

Galatea gave out a smile and answered in a soft voice.

“Yeah. I can’t explain it, but while you touch me, I feel, I don’t know, happy? Your touch is like a shock in my body or something. But it feels good.”

Saying that Galatea pulled Faith to the top of the bed and started kissing her. Galatea made Faith lie down and got on top of her, using her tongue while kissing. Faith had kissed a girl once, in high school, but it was so much time ago that she couldn’t compare it to the android. All she knew was that it felt good. Galatea’s saliva was warm and didn’t taste bad. All fluids used for Galatea’s body were, after all, the same kind used for sex-bots. It was even safe to swallow.

When Faith realized her underwear was off and Galatea was on top of her, she realized their roles had inverted. Galatea was leading now, and she seemed to know what she was doing. Every touch was just the right strength to work, in the right place. Her tongue also felt good and it didn’t take long to make Faith have her first orgasm.

When Galatea looked at her lover with a smile, Faith realized that was her time. She was marveled by how the android reacted to her touch and her kisses. She adjusted the android’s sensibilities while building her, and her breasts acted like an erogenous zone, making her moan when Faith played with it. Galatea’s body was so exciting to her that she was afraid to touch it, even though the android seemed eager for it.

When Faith finally touched Galatea’s sex, she was surprised. It was a place that, after she installed, she avoided touching again. It looked and felt just like a real one, at least compared to her own. And touching it made Galatea’s face transform in a way she hadn’t seen yet. She couldn’t imagine what that was doing to Galatea’s AI, but she knew that was a powerful new technology. After playing with Galatea’s body for some time, she could feel the android having something similar to her own orgasm.

Looking at Galatea’s satisfied smile, Faith thought that was the end of it. Before she could open her mouth, though, Galatea hugged her and started kissing her again.

***

Some hours later, the two girls were lying naked on the bed. Galatea turned to Faith with a smile on her face.

“Was it good? Did I do it right?”

Faith only gave a nod, caressing Galatea’s face.

“Did it felt like doing it to a human girl?” Galatea added.

“Well,” Faith let out a bitter smile before answering. “I never did it with anyone before, so I can’t answer. I can tell you it felt good, but that’s all.”

“Oh,” Galatea’s body inclined. “So that was your first time? I was your first?”

“Y-Yeah,” Faith was embarrassed.

“I see,” Galatea said and lied on the bed again. “I see, hehe”.

Faith realized the android couldn’t stop giggling satisfied.
