Chapter Four
Rommie finally found her voice, "I better get going".
Dylan looked at her straight in the eye, "what's your hurry?"
"Oh.I.um the environmental controls are malfunctioning" they were to it wasn't a lie she had made up on the spot, she moved to leave but Dylan grabbed her arm raising her temperature.
"I'll get Harper to fix it, you shouldn't have to run around doing everything". He let go of her and tapped a button, " Mr Harper the environmental controls are malfunctioning, better fix it before our guests start complaining".
"Right on it boss" his voice sounded weary.
Dylan turned back to Rommie, "I really better go".
"Why Rommie?"
"I have to, I just have to".
"Why is something wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Yes with us, you're flesh and blood and I'm only a machine".
"No you're not Rommie, you're a person, a living breathing person with feelings".
"You mean it?" she asked hesitantly.
"Yes to me you're simply Rommie, the greatest friend anyone could ever ask for, if it hadn't been for you all this time I would've given up. So you weren't created like I was I don't care, damn it Rommie I've been keeping this a secret and now I have to reveal it, it will change everything but I'll explode if I don't reveal it".
"What is it?" she whispered, please let it be what I've always wanted to hear.
"I love you Rommie".
"Do you mean it?"
He cupped her chin, "with all my heart and soul".
"Oh Dylan I feel the same way".
He lowered his lips to hers and Rommie felt a jolt go through her very being as he touched his lips to hers.
