My mother begged me to take Victor outside, have a walk. He was apparently too scared to go alone, and my mother was still too busy. Or perhaps she refused, wondering how he would deal with it. She was a manipulative...witch.
Looks like he'd gone to her to ask her to ask me to take a walk with him. If at first you don't succeed, you try another approach, I guess.
And knowing my mother, she wouldn't let up until I gave in. So I gave in, being too annoyed.
"Don't expect me to hold your hand," I said, opening the front door.
"Maybe another time," he said, chuckling to himself. I looked at him suspiciously, wondering if that was a joke or if he was serious.
"In your dreams." I wanted to take that back the moment I said it. Robots didn't dream. He didn't dream.
"Thank you," he responded, not giving anything away and not trying to start an argument. He was sneaky bastard.
Now, I was really curious if he even dreamt. Wait, does he even sleep.
We started to walk outside, but I paid no attention, just going in a straight line.
"Do you sleep?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
"Same way as a computer sleeps."
"Do you...dream?" I asked, almost cringing.
"Same way as a computer." I couldn't read his face.
"Computers don't dream."
"You're right, I just wanted to see what you'd say." He winked at me, and I almost blushed. I had to remind myself that he wasn't real. Maybe I always avoided this topic, but when it came to his looks, like most escort droids, he was flawless. Hazel eyes, perfect nose, a jaw that's dying to be touched, a body sculpted like an athlete's, and hair that you wanted to run your fingers through. I shook my head, trying to break my thoughts.
"So you're messing with me?"
"It's more fun than being serious all the time, wouldn't you agree?" I humphed, then looked away.
"Do you find me annoying?" He asked suddenly.
"You're very random."
"I've been thinking of this since I came to your house," he explained.
"Keep thinking."
"That's not very nice."
"You're a naive idiot. I don't have time for this."
"Well, technically, my mind is that of a child's."
"That was supposed to be an insult," I said.
"Hence why I prefer the old you."
"Even when I hit you?" I asked, curious to see what he'd say.
"Even with the hitting. At the time, I couldn't feel pain."
"You mean to say you can feel pain now?"
"Yes. Even emotional ones, so be gentle with me." He smiled down at me and I shook my head.
He was a real jokester.
I turned around and he followed silently. We went home and parted ways.
I needed to stay away from him.

One of the things I remember my teacher from high school telling me was that I shouldn't think, I should just write. So I do. That usually means that when I write, I normally skip description-it distracts me from the story too much.
I'm just trying to explain why there are so many quotes with little thoughts/descriptions. Editing solves that problem.
Hope you enjoy, and if you do, vote.
Thanks :)
