MORNING WITH A ROBOT (2)
Shantal freshened up inside the restroom. She expected that once she emerged out of her restroom, she would see her robot waiting for her right outside the door.
However, to her dismay, when she opened the door again Alex was no longer there and instead, she saw him looking out to the window.
Alex had his back on her and he stood with his hands behind him.
His silhouette alone looked serene and the natural lighting from the morning sun added more aesthetic to his overall feature that from afar, he almost look like someone that came straight out from a painting.
Curious, Shantal walked towards the window as well so she could also take a look at whatever the other party was looking at.
She crossed her room with her face still dripping with water.
"What are you looking at?"
She inquired at Alex as soon as she got near him.
However, instead of answering her question right away, Alex only looked at her and then walked

Shantal did not want to entertain those kinds of thoughts so to stop herself from having silly thoughts about her robot, she deliberately changed the topic."Don't you need to 'sleep' as well?"Even as a robot, Shantal reckoned that a device like Alex was bound to get drained at some point.After all, even mobile phones needed to go to sleep whenever they were unused, so as to save as much energy as possible. So she wondered if her Android Partner happened to work the same way."Um... I don't need 'sleep', I just need to recharge my batteries and that is every three days."Of course, Alex made up that lie on the spot. At the same time, he saw that as an opportunity to give some leeway to himself.He banked on the possibility that Shantal would opt to send him back to the facility in the meantime since she most likely did not have a charger of her own yet; and just like he expected, Shantal was flustered when she heard about his char
Boyfriend for Sale KNACK AT TALKING BACK
She tried to remain indifferent and keep a nonchalant front, but if truth be told, Shantal's heart was already pounding like crazy against her chest at that moment.Even to herself, she was not sure why Alex's advances have that kind of effect on her.'For Pete's sake, Alex is a robot, Shantal! Don't ever forget about that fact.'She constantly reminded herself, in the hope of getting a hold of her raging emotion; which she blamed on her hormones though.She reckoned that the reason why she was acting that way was that she had never been to that kind of intimate interaction with an opposite-sex before.She was not used to it. As such when she experienced it for the first time, her emotions could not help but get silly and took the better half of her.To the point, that heart was beating so fast as if it wanted to leap out of her mouth. Her stomach was in no better situation either. It felt like a thousand ants were crawling inside i
Boyfriend for Sale SYSTEM DOWNTIME
"Here is your green tea, made with love."Alex's voice boomed inside when he walked into the room again."How could you be so quick?"Shantal, on the other hand, could not help but get quizzical when she saw Alex returned shortly after he left. Apparently, the other party did not even take a minute before he got back with a cup of tea.However, Alex refused to answer her question directly and instead flashed her a lopsided grin."You could expect nothing less from me."He declared as though that was only what to be expected from him."I am Alex, at your service. Model 1096; Android Partner version 2.0."He added and injected as much enthusiasm in his voice.But truthfully speaking, the only reason why he was able to return within such a short period of time was because of Butler John.If it was not for him, who knew how long it would take Alex to bring Shantal her tea? After all, it was not like the other party kn
Boyfriend for Sale SOLUTION: OUT OF THE BOX
"Harold?! Are you there? Hey guys, can anyone hear me?!"The longer the time dragged on, the more agitated Alex became.'Of all the times that this kind of thing could happen, why does it have to have system downtime right at this moment?!'He thought in utter vexation."As long as I crack the egg inside, you will consider it as a pass???"Out of the blue, Alex asked Shantal that question.Meanwhile, inside the facility where Harold's team was keeping track of Alex's progress...Amidst the countless monitors that littered the room, a big one was specifically placed at the center. The team was gathered around it and they all had their attention focused on what was being played at its screen.On the screen, the interior of Shantal's room was displayed, exactly just like what could be seen at Alex's perspective. Since the camera itself was attached to the contact lenses that he was wearing."Does he honestly think that we w

Meanwhile, back at Shantal's place..."Done."Shantal heard Alex say that before he cast her a look as though asking her,'Are we good?'"Have you gone nuts, Alex? How could you be so careless?!"Harold's voice echoed inside Alex's ears as soon as the system went back. It was clear of all ears to hear that he was not impressed by how Alex acted, and his disappointment was shared by his team."Now I am more convinced, that lad is indeed foolish."Samantha commented with a disapproving undertone.When they saw what Alex did, they all rose to their feet and shouted. 'No!' in unison. But of course, their warning came too late.The damage had been done and by how crude Alex acted in front of Shantal, they believe that there was no way that she would not start doubting his identity.After all, there was no way anyone would believe that an AI robot could act so foolishly like that."It's ove

"Is it just me or she really sounded like she was testing the water? Is she really starting to suspect as for real, this time?"Samantha asked her colleagues but no one answered her. Everyone else's attention was on the screen as they watched it with a batted breath.They all waited for what was about to unfold next and they wondered how Alex would react to that.Alex, on the other hand, was not sure how he was supposed to answer Shantal so rather than directly addressing her question, he threw her that same question and asked her back instead."How can you prove that you are a human?"Shantal smiled and nodded her head in satisfaction when she heard Alex's response."Hmm.. alright, that is a nice answer. A smart and creative robot, therefore I will give you a plus point for that. Other than the fact that you seemed to keep switching back to the Friend Mode, we are off to a good start."She said as she ticked something from the rubric
Boyfriend for Sale HE IS NOT A PET
"You----"Shantal trailed off as she observed Alex with squinted eyes. She pointed the pen that she was using towards Alex and bit her lower lip."--- You keep on disappointing me. Poor coordination skills, I will deduct a point for that.""Look what you have done! We almost got caught, and 1096 got a minus point!"Rico berated Harold as soon as they heard Shantal's evaluation. For a second, they thought that the other party already found out about the truth. But thankfully though, she hasn't yet.With her face still sour with disappointment, Shantal gave the rest of the assessment a break.She felt her stomach growling so she decided to look for something to eat. Shantal opened her double door fridge, wide enough to allow her and Alex to fit inside it. Likewise, when Alex tried to sneak a peek at what her master has on her fridge, he almost dropped his lower jaw on the floor.Fresh seafood along with packs after packs of different ki
Boyfriend for Sale ROBOT AND THE PASTA
As they ate their food, Shantal could not help but notice the self-satisfied look that Jodi was throwing her over her cup of ramen. Also, there was this robot boyfriend of hers that kept on looking at Alex as well with a judging glare.After a while, Arvin said something to Jodi in Chinese, and for some reason, Shantal found his tone somewhat judgmental. She was not sure why, but she felt like Arvin sounded like he was looking down at Alex.She could not understand what the other party exactly said to Jodi since it was Chinese, but at the very best, she reckoned that it was also very hard to hide the condescending undertone used, no matter what the language was.Shantal did her best to ignore the entire thing, thinking to herself that perhaps she was just a bit self-conscious and overprotective of her clumsy robot."Don't you think something is off about him?"Jodi whispered to Shantal when she was sure that Alex was not listening."Not that
