For some reason, Shantal had been acting weird ever since they came back from lunch. He was not sure what truly transpired between her and her cousin, Jodi, but he was pretty sure that it did not go well.
"---And.."
Shantal purposely trailed off, as she took another step closer to Alex. She raised her hand to his face and pointed at his temple
"You are going to input my information in your head"
After that, she placed her hands behind her back. Yet she did not take her eyes away from Alex, and she continued to speak to him.
"From now on, you need to focus on only me and follow no one else but me."
After hearing all of that, Alex was at a loss for words. 1096's system was also not giving him anything, so to avoid the awkward silence that might follow, he was compelled to at least say something.
"Input?"
He sported a confused face then added,
"Input what in my head?"
"The first thing to input in your head is the hie
Meanwhile, Alex was walking right behind Shantal when all of a sudden he felt something weird in his stomach.Cold beads of sweat started to form in his forehead and at the same time, he felt a shiver ran down his spine. One after another, goosebumps started to appear on his skin"What makes my stomach hurt this bad?"He thought to himself. However, before he could even think straight, a cold wind blew on him and it made him froze on the spot.He went stiff as a stone and did not dare make any move for fear of shitting his pants right here and there."This is not good."He muttered under his breath as he looked around him."The comfort room is calling me!"He desperately wanted to leave and go to the nearest comfort room yet before he could even make a move, Shantal already called him."What are you doing standing there? Come over here."She beckoned to him so Alex was left with no choice but to relent an
As soon as his butt hit the toilet bowl, Alex relieved everything that he was holding back inside him.He subconsciously heaved a deep sigh of relief when everything was set loose."I thought my intestine was going to fall out on the toilet. That darn alien pasta!"He said as soon as he was done doing the deed. The place stunk because of what he did and he knew that he has to do something about it."AHA! I got it."He said when he spotted a hand soap at the lavatory.He poured a liberal amount of the soap straight into the bowl, hoping that it would wash away the smell. Yet, it did little to clear the unpleasant smell reeking inside the bathroom.Alex knew right then that his effort was not enough yet. He had to think wise so he used his eyes again to look for something useful. That was when he saw perfumes sitting inside a cabinet.He carefully took one of it and sprayed it all over the place as though it was nothing but an ai
Alex went stiff when he heard Shantal and before he could even do something about it, he saw Shantal approaching him with wide strides.Then she forcefully took the perfume out from Alex's hand."Does this look like a cleaning solution to you?"Shantal spat those words through her gritted teeth because, among all the other perfumes in her collection, Alex happened to pick and used her favorite."It clearly says here in the label, Eue de Parfum!"She said stressing out on each word as if she wanted to implant it straight into Alex's brain."You suppose to know how to read. Is your common sense broken?! Can't you tell just by the smell?"Shantal's voice was raising an octave higher the more she spoke. It seemed that seeing her beloved perfume going to waste agitated her more than anything else in the house.Alex, on the other hand, rebutted Shantal's words with a smile."Master, don't you know that cleaning up with perfume
"Are your muscles very tense, master?"With feigned ignorance, Alex asked Shantal the most obvious thing. But the truth was, deep inside him, he already has an idea how sore the other party's body could possibly be feeling at that exact moment.It was for that same reason why he carried Shantal in his arms, in the first place. Then he brought her and made her rest on a massage chair."I am getting a massage because I ache all over because of you!"Shantal snapped at him.Alex was sincerely sorry about what he had done to Shantal. He knew it must have been painful for her. But the thing was, he was not supposed to show that kind of emotion, because again, he was acting as her a robot."Shall I adjust the mode?"He suggested because looking after her was the least that he could do now. Then Alex no longer waited for Shantal's consent and adjusted the intensity of the massage right away.Shantal, on the other hand, seemed to feel
The next day, Shantal purposely made her robot watch Hachiko."What kind of situation is that?"Out of the blue, she raised an inquiry at Alex while at the same time allowing him to watch a certain part of the movie."A dog is saving someone."Alex was not sure why Shantal was asking him the obvious thing but he still responded to her question using a matter-of-fact tone."That' is right! And theoretically speaking, you should be the equivalent to that dog."Shantal answered back with the same matter-of-fact tone. Then she added,"That dog is risking its life for its owner. Just like that dog, you need to protect me with bravery."She declared and sat on the sofa with crossed legs. She looked at Alex and told him,"Now, I want you to input that mission into your system."'So it turned out that this was still all about that incident'Alex, on the other hand, thought to himself. He held Shantal's gaz
"Is there anything else you want me to do master?"Alex asked Shantal as soon as he was done cleaning the other party's room.Shantal has a lot of servants that were available all day long to follow her every beck and call. Yet for some reason, the girl seemed to love the idea of making Alex her personal nanny.As such, she instructed Alex to clean her room first thing in the morning.Meanwhile, Shantal happened to be having her breakfast when Alex approached her.As soon as the other party got close enough to where she was seated, she lifted her gaze and looked at her robot, all the while chewing on her food."If only you were a human, I would gladly let you have a taste of my food."Alex, on the other hand, fought back the urge to salivate in front of Shantal. The girl deliberately showed him how she was enjoying herself over a bowl of creamy soup and garlic bread.She even let out an exasperated sigh as though she was really
"Lest you forgot, I am talking about the robot that you gave me!"Shantal felt the need to remind Jodi when the other party started showing her the face that suggested she felt more conflicted than she actually was."I am just also equally frustrated just as much as how you are."Jodi said as she placed her left arm over the table and used it to support her head. The other party even had the audacity to shook her head and exhaled a deep sigh of lamentation as though she was the one who experienced receiving the shorter end of the stick.Meanwhile, when Shantal saw that expression on her face, she almost tried to erase her cousin's face right here, right there."You can't be more frustrated than I am."She started to argue with her and with a synchronized timing, the both of them turned their head in the direction where Alex was, almost at the same time.They observed Alex who happened to sit at the corner trying his best to pretend th
"Go ahead, and charge your boyfriend. We can continue this conversation some other time."Shantal told Jodi to go home in a roundabout manner."Alright. Let's talk about our robots then. You can tell me about your progress with Alex the next time we leave. I'm sorry I have to leave in a hurry."Jodi sounded sheepish when she replied to Shantal. She felt like leaving Shantal just as when they were starting to have their common interest was as good as wasting a good opportunity to get close to her cousin.But then just as when she was considering letting Arvin's battery getting drained for a while she shook her head to clear her mind and with hurried steps, she assisted Arvin outside.Meanwhile, when her cousin left, Shantal remained seated on the same spot. As she was left alone to ponder over Jodi's word, she tried to give her advice, a careful thought."Input my emotions, you say?"Shantal muttered under her breath and then later tha
