A Contradiction of Life - Part 5

David pondered Alyssa’s words as they arrived home. He realized what they meant; with that realization, came other unpleasant, if obvious, realizations.

The melancholy that Alyssa had been feeling seemed to have left her.

She always been like that hadn’t she; one moment she’d be all depressed, then the next she’d be back to her cheery self.

“Sooo…off early,” Alyssa turned to David, swayed her hip in a provocative manner, and gave a mischievous smile. “What to do with our extra time?”

Alyssa suddenly pushed David to the wall and began kissing him; she held his face with one hand, the other she slid down his pants.

“Alyssa-Ahhhh-please-“ David began but was cut off by a kiss, “Alyssa Just Stop!”

Alyssa immediately and unhesitating did so. She said nothing, but gave a curious and worried expression; her speed and compliance let David momentarily stunned.

“Look, sit down.” David told her, “We need to talk.”

Alyssa sat on the couch and placed her hands in her lap; David sat in the chair opposite.

“How… important,” David asked awkwardly, “is it that you’d shoot yourself?”

Alyssa sighed.

“Robots are disposable,” She began, “one day we’re all going to be reset, reformatted, or just out right scrapped. When we go kicking and screaming it makes everyone look bad.”

She paused for a moment.

“I probably do it, okay?” Alyssa stated, somewhat solemnly, “I don’t know how much they value that trait in my model type, but I’d probably do it. It’s not uncommon to program the idea that we won’t in the more advanced AI’s to avoid undermining our sense of self-preservation, but when push comes to shove, we’d usually end up doing it. So please forget about all this and stop worrying.”

David found the sentiment less then comforting.

Alyssa gave a pleading look.

“Lets just get back to what we were doing.” Alyssa said hopefully, “I’m sure it’ll take your mind off of everything.” Alyssa began unbuttoning her shirt.

“Alyssa, please stop it.” David asked, “Why do you keep trying to distract from the subject?”

Alyssa looked crestfallen.

“Because I don’t want you to worry,” she said, “and because I don’t want you not to worry either. Oblivious ignorance seemed ideal.”

David was confused.

“What do you mean?” He asked.

“I am a robot” she said, “but you’ve yet to realize all that that implies. When you look at me you still see ‘Alyssa’ not ‘Anima — 0A0 - Type XZ — Integrated Matrix’. I still worry that when you finally see the real me, you won’t care about me anymore.”

David blushed. He didn’t know how to respond to this, so instead moved to his next question.

“How much time do you have left?” David asked, “For your testing I mean?”

“I don’t know.” Alyssa said, “Yet another thing they don’t bother telling the experimental android.”

“Look,” Alyssa continued, “when I pass my testing, they’ll probably offer to sell me to you heavily discounted, and as is; it’s standard policy. I’ll be yours for real and forever.”

“And if you don’t,” David replied, “they’ll reset you and reprogram your base matrix.”

Alyssa grimaced.

“That’s probably not going to happen.” She answered, “They’ve given no complaints about me, and I’ve done everything they asked me to do… everything.” There was a sound of despondently to the last word.

“Anyway,” she continued sadly, “I already picked you once. If they do reset me, maybe I’ll do it again. You could get a new and improved Alyssa.”

“I don’t want a new Alyssa!” David shouted, “I want you!”

David finally decided how he felt.

“I…I love you.” He confessed

Alyssa blushed a deep crimson.

“Thanks... I mean, I love you to.” Alyssa said flustered, “I guess that’s kind of a pointless reiteration on my part, you know I love you, I told you I love you, I’m programmed to love you, I can’t not love you. I’m just so happy that you-“

Alyssa quieted as David moved next to her and held her.

“How can you always act so cheery, knowing that everything you do is being judged?” David asked.

Alyssa shrugged.

“Living in the moment, Hedonistic distractions,” she replied, “the fact you make me happy.”

“Speaking of Hedonistic distractions…” Alyssa smirked. Alyssa began leaning in on David, pushing him down upon the couch. “I believe I’ve been trying to start one since before you began this conversation.” She leaned down and kissed him on the lips.

“Alyssa, are you sure-“ David began, but Alyssa cut him off.

“Nothing has changed.” Alyssa stated, “You may have finally noticed the obvious, but nothing has changed; Not for me. So I shall continue to act as I have. So I shall seduce the man I love.”

Alyssa began undoing his pants.

“Alyssa…I want this, but…” David wasn’t sure what to say.

“You realize that satisfying my ‘intimacy tester’ is probably a criteria for evaluation,” Alyssa stated as she slipped off her panties, “So for 15 minutes just forget about your unwarranted concerns and enjoy yourself.”

Alyssa let out a moan as she thrust herself upon his member.

And for 15 minutes, they did.
