CHAPTER THREE: MARRIAGE
High school was over. Everyone Val loved and cared about graduated, except
Jamie, who still had one more year left. Her and André were still dating.
The only other people who knew about him being an android were Caitie,
Val's parents and sister. They had all been trying to convince her to leave
Andre. But Val new they just didn't understand. They'd never see what she
saw in him. And she new no man would ever treat her as well as he did. So
they decided they wanted to get married.
They figured no one would accept it, so they went off and got married in
secret. A few days later, they came back home to tell her parents. Her dad
didn't take it very well. "You what? How could you do this to me? To your
mom?"
"Dad, I didn't do anything wrong. I love him."
"No Val, you don't."
"Don't tell me how I feel!"
"You love a machine. He is not human Val."
"Yes he is!"
"No, he's a robot. A piece of metal covered by skin. You think he's going
to make you happy? You think you're really going to lead a normal life with
this guy? I don't think so Val."
"Yes daddy we are. Why can't you just understand? I love him, and don't you
ever say he's just metal again. He has a heart, and a mind and a soul. Give
me a call when you can accept that." She grabbed Andre's hand and they
ran out of the house, jumped into his car, and drove away.
That night they sat together on their couch in their new home just staring
at each other. "Youre beautiful." He'd say to her. She'd shy away, than
look back at him and say, "You're wonderful." Then they'd go into a kiss,
stop, and say something else, repeating the process.
"Um, Andre, I know I never asked you this before, but I kind've want to
know." Val asked, as her cheeks went red.
"Yeah?"
"Well, when they made you, I mean, did they make all of you?"
"Um, Val, I'm not sure I understand?"
"Did they give you a...did they make you a whole man?"
"Oh I see." He got closer to her. He kissed her than pulled back. A huge
smile crossed his face and he nodded his head yes.
She smiled back, grabbed his hand, and they ran to the bedroom.
