He took her hand as she got out of the car. Dorothy looked upon the enormous building with wonderment. The play was to begin in twenty minutes. Dorothy expected Roger to release her hand once she was standing, but to her astonishment, he didn't. He held her hand gently as they walked.
When they reached the door of the theater, Roger handed the man at the door the tickets. They took their seats and the lights dimmed.
As the scenes progressed, Dorothy and Roger found themselves cuddling closer and closer. By the end of the play, Roger's arm was resting comfortably on Dorothy's shoulder, and as the curtain closed, he was staring into her eyes. She felt lost in the dark spheres which were his eyes, and something within her mechanical mind told her it was ok to feel.
By the time they looked away from one another, the theater was completely empty, the only light being the soft glow of the two stage lights that were still on.
Dorothy cleared her throat, surprising Roger.
"Does that make your throat feel any better?"
Dorothy looked down.
"I couldn't tell you Roger. I don't know what 'better' is."
She tried to take a step back but Roger caught her gently by her shoulders.
"I know what you mean, but can't we just accept that this might be better?"
Roger leaned forward gripping tighter to Dorothy's shoulders. Just as their lips were about to touch, the door in the back of the theater flew open.
"Hey! The theater's about to close, you gotta clear out right now!"
Roger mumbled a curse under his breath as he wrapped the shall around Dorothy. On the way home, he was cooking up ideas in his head to get the moment right again.
...The blonde stepped gracefully on to the dock. He was holding her hand like no man had before. Tad gently put a hand on her back and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I had a great time tonight Angelina. I'm so glad I met you."
Angel looked at him with a perplexed look.
"I've never met a man like you before. You're either a hopeless romantic or completely insane."
He chuckled.
"Yes, insanity is definitely the word."
Together they laughed and she put her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you for stopping me...back there, I don't know what I..."
"Don't worry about it Angelina. As much of a turn on as you are, I don't have sex with random women in bathrooms."
"I'm not sure exactly what was going through my head Tad but, I have to say, I don't think there's going to be another man like you out there."
"Well don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. How would you like to do this again sometime? Maybe you and I could catch a movie tomorrow night. What do you say?"
"A movie would be terrific."
"Where should I pick you up?"
Angel's mind began racing...she couldn't tell him where she was staying, she'd reveal her true identity if she did.
"Uh...well, I um...you know what? There's something I have to tell you right now."
"Oh God Angelina, don't tell me you're married?"
"Oh no! That's not it. Roger Smith...the negotiator?"
"What about him?"
"He's...my brother! Yup, yes, he's my brother. So you can pick me up at his mansion."
Tad laughed.
"Isn't that something? My business rival is your brother. I hope this won't effect you and I."
"Don't worry it won't."
"I'll see you tomorrow at seven."
They both parted smiling to themselves.
Angel stopped halfway into the road.
"What the hell have I done?!?!?!"
...Roger stepped back out of the car once he had pulled it into the underground garage. They walked into the elevator and went up the stairs to the living room. Dorothy turned and said,
"Thank you for this Roger. It was quite enjoyable."
Roger was troubled by the way her voice went right back to its monotone sound. It didn't sound this way while they were dancing when he was holding her in his arms.
He leaned down and gently kissed her cheek. Like a child, Dorothy's eyes were clouded with uncertainty, and she turned around in silence and went into her bedroom.
Roger sighed.
'You'd think winning over an android would be easier than this.'
