Hey Babe!

Chapter 8: Must be them hormones

It was dinner time.

Lily, Mr. Green, Mrs. Green were already seated in their respective seats.

Leaf comes down from her room, and finds a different sight.

"Mom! Lily! What happened?" asks Leaf.

She sees her mother and sister wearing loose fitting pants, oversized shirts, and had those buttons buttoned-up till their necks.

"Can't take risk, right!" said the two in unison, their faces red due to heat.

Leaf raises her eyebrow. Then it hits her.

"Oh c'mon mom, he won't do anything infront of me! Don't be scared of anything as long as I am here!"

"Well, get to eat daughter!" says her father, and they start their supper.

Almost half-hour later, Leaf, Lily and Mr. Green, having had dinner, were sitting in the hall area, playing chess.

It was Lily's turn now. But she got checkmated.

"You have to use your brain Lily!" jokes her father, as he celebrates his another win, by dancing around.

Lily pouts.

"I did use it father, but a little less I guess!" answers Leaf.

"Hmm?" mum joins the conversation after finishing washing dishes.

"I used my brain. I gave Gary feelings, but I couldn't give him the knowledge to use them!"

Father pouts, "You know Leaf how did you learn riding a bicycle?"

"By falling down!" Mom completes the sentence.

"You know when Lily was born, you were five years old. You couldn't understand her. When you would ask her to do things for you, and she couldn't 'cause she was small, you used to scold her; after which we would scold you for not understanding her that she is an infant!" says Mum.

"But it was only as time passed that you realised this, and started to treat her nicely. Same way, it will take Gary some time to realise what is right, and what not. But for that, you will have to pay a lot. You will have to let him commit big mistakes, and go through intense ridicule." says Father.

"Yes Leaf! Ridicule and respect are two aspects of a working adult's life. It was only after ten thousand tries that Edison could make a perfect bulb. If you will give up now, then it won't be ever accomplished!" says Mother, putting a hand on Leaf's shoulder.

"But it's not just about me! Wouldn't you all be ridiculed and disrespected because of Gary!?" Says Leaf.

"But that one day when you will be able to complete your project, won't we be the most proud and respected parents on Earth!?" Father says.

Leaf sighs, and hugs her parents.

"You guys are really good. But right now I need people to understand and co-operate a bit."

"I wouldn't mind Gary checking my underwear!" says a small voice.

"What the heck Lily! I can't let him do this stuff to you!" Says Leaf.

"But...

"You got a volunteer Leaf, no comments now!" declares papa Green, and the three leave Leaf on her own.

"Ugh god, WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MY LIFE!?"

••• NEXT DAY•••

The sunlight filters through the curtain, and leave a pink patch on the ground.

As the room starts to light up, Lily gets her sleep disturbed. She rubs her eyelids, and opens her eyes slowly, welcoming the fresh cool air of the ned day, enter through her nose, and wake her body up.

She turns to her right, and finds something wrong. She stretches her hand out, and touches the thing in front of her.

The said thing gets up and jumps over Lily.

"I'll make you!" says him, sexily.

"Is it y-you G-Gary?"

"Yes babe! And I'm here to make your morning colourful!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?"

"I mean-

"Shut the fuck up right now, and come here!!" enters Leaf.

"Hey Babe!" says Gary, as he jumps uo from Lily's abdomen, and stands right above Leaf.

"Shut the fuck up! What does it mean though?" Asks Gary, with a halo above his head.

"That's none of your business Gary!"

"Oh-Ok! Come, I'll make your morning colourful too!"

And Leaf simulates him labor pain, and sinks down in the Earth, dying out of pain.

"You should've given him milk, not testosterone!" comments her mother from the background.

"No mum! I stood up for it, and I'll endure it all!"

Leaf shrugs her shoulders, and grabs the peice of pained technology, and goes out of her sister's room.

"Tell me if I ever did anything wrong to you; why do you do this to people!" says Leaf, frustrated of her robot's current act.

"I am a man! I gotta try sex once!"

"But not to you own sister!"

"Sister?"

"Yes! Lily is your sister! All the girls are my sisters, and whoever is my sister, will be yours too! Now you don't wanna be termed Sisterfucker right!?"

Gary sighs.

•••LATER THAT NIGHT•••

Leaf takes off her clothes and gets into the shower.

She turns the shower, and gets hit by burning hot water, but doesn't care for now, it's relaxing.

She thinks a lot whenever it's shower time. And right now she thinks about Gary.

She is sure that Gary listens to her orders, but what made him this womanizer.

What if he has guy friends who teach him this roadside stuff?

What if he is affected by wrong company?

Who knows where he goes when he goes out for walk?

I'll have to keep an eye on him tommorow when he goes out for walk!

As that thought comes out of the toaster fresh and hot, she nods unconsciously, and grabs her shampoo.

She opens the lid, and smells it, and takes some amount on her palm, and starts to apply some on her hair.

She suddenly feels some cold fingers snake thier way on her waist, and as she turns around, some of the shampoo gets in her eye, and she falls down on her hip.

"Oh! I didn't mean to scare you!" says some man, he then kneeles down, and turns the faucet on the bathtub on, and splashes sone water on Leaf till the shampoo washes off.

Leaf rubs open her eyes and sees Gary, through the blruness of it all, leaning over her naked self.

"AAAHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!!!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! I thought you called me!"

"I did not call YOU!!"

"Oh really, then it must be Lily! You two have kinda similar voices, I get confused."

After saying this, Gary starts with his departure, but stops to look up at Leaf's face. Her face waa bright red, that makes Gary laugh.

"Why are you still blushing. Don't worry, I didn't scan this time, as I know gour body temperature very well, I won't tell anybody. I am a robot though!" and he walks out, closing the door behind him.

Leaf's face was still red. Never has it ever happened with her that she was caught naked by a guy, let alone her own robot.

Last time she waa naked to anybody, was when she was an infant, and her mum was changing her diaper.

But why does it make her heart race?

What is their in that machine that makes her heart go Zoooom?

He is a machine right! Just a machine.

Maybe it is the situation.

Or maybe it's them hormones?

Yes!

Must be hormones!
