Chapter 3: Misunderstanding of the mind
"Dorothy I want to give you something" he said looking down at the envelope in his hand.
"What is it Roger?" she asked.
"Umm. This was...I found this when I first met you" he said.
She stood and came to stand in front of him before taking it from him and reading the name on the front. "This was from papa" she said. "I notice the hand writing."
He watched as in her eyes there was a flicker of emotion. He wondered what had happened, why she was so curious, was it even like her to be curious? Did she even feel the rush of excitement that curiosity bought?
Dorothy opened it slowly before pulling out the content and reading it.
My Dearest Dorothy,
I'm sorry that I could not save you. I am a failure as a father. I broke what was dearest about you. You heart. I knew from the start that you loved him but I couldn't bring myself to accept that there was another man other then me in your heart. I didn't mean for you to get hurt! I have taken all the memories of and put it into your other self R. Dorothy. I wanted so very much to hold you again and I also wanted to make you smile. I suppose the only one that can do that is him...
I am truly sorry for all the pain I have cause you, I know your smile wasn't the same since that day…I truly lost you even before the incident. I have place in this letter all the details of your memories of him, in this you shall find your answers, I placed them in R. Dorothy as well. When I noticed you slipping away I worked on making her so if I was ever to loose you I had all of you with me, I was tempted not to place the memories of him in R. Dorothy, but to truly have you I would have to place that part into her as well; but I placed under the code name : self-absorption, only when she is n situations that you were once in will she have flashes of your memories, I suppose I am writing this to guide her to show her that she was also my daughter, she was my other half heart…she is you. Forgive me my dearest Dorothy and R. Dorothy…
Your dearest old man,
papa
Dorothy looked at Roger before folding the paper and putting them in her pocket.
"Well what does it say?" he asked.
"I suppose you have something to do no Roger?" she asked looking at him again, her old self in control again.
"Dorothy don't shut me out." Said Roger nearing her.
"Please Roger refine from touching me," she said backing away, she didn't want it! Damn it she didn't want the memories of her former self she wanted her own memories wit Roger Smith!
"Dorothy…"
"Please don't touch me!" she said as she walked away from him.
Ok now he was concerned and very upset at the way Dorothy was acting, what in the hell was going on. She never acted as if someone was annoying her, no wait if wasn't that at all she almost seemed afraid that something might happen to her. Was Dorothy thinking about leaving her services, did she finally crack and think she had repaid him enough? No there was something else, it had to do with the letter, the loss of memories, and she was after all the daughter of a brilliant and crazy man. He would get to the bottom of it for sure!
Dorothy sat down on her bed, and look around the room, was there a chance that maybe her human self had been here once? Why did he put them in her, was there a way to break the code and erase all the memories of her and…and Roger?
"Roger."
"Roger you know papa, he is very stern on who I date and what men are in my life, he likes you he really does, it's just that I spend all of my free time away from my studies with you and papa thinks that maybe you're a bit older then me to be dating me…please understand Roger, I like being with you…no I love being with you."
"Then what is the problem! Dorothy you know that I have these strong feelings for you, I never felt these feelings for anyone…I mean come on Dorothy too old for you? There are girls who are younger then you marrying men twice their age…Dorothy I love you, I want to marry when you grow up do you understand me?"
"Oh Roger! Do you really?"
"Dorothy I will never lie to about anything…I love you sweetheart!"
"Roger I love you as well, oh should we tell papa?"
"Will he approve?"
"Of course he will silly!"
'How wonderful for her, he loved her…if this a fragment of the memory missing from Roger, do I have it within me?' she thought pulling out the picture of Dorothy the human girl with the little younger Roger smith smiling at each other as they held hands. Their eyes were sole on each other, it seemed as if they saw each other in their eyes. They were true lovers…this was what he forgot maybe that is why he was so eager to help her, because she reminded him of this part of his life which he forgot…no memories of this intense look?
The soft knock on her door told her that Roger was back to keep insisting, maybe she should show him the picture, and after all he had a right to claim one of his memories. He had a right to remember the woman who he loved more then anything.
"Come in Roger."
"Dorothy we need to finish talking and about pressing matters at that."
"here I think this belongs to you, or at least I think I once did." She said handing him the picture, as he reached for the picture their hands brushed softly against each other. Dorothy gasped, she gasped as if she felt it!
"Be my wife dear sweet Dorothy…" he whispered as he slipped the ring around her finger and kissed her.
They were in bed, it seemed they just had acted on something intimate from the small blush on the human Dorothy's face, she smiled up at the man who held her hand in his.
"Yes, and I will say it as many times as you need me to say it Roger smith!" she said kissing him again.
"Dorothy…"
"This picture is of me…and you but you seem different…wait this can't be?" asked Roger looking from the picture to her face.
"It is that is Dorothy, the real Dorothy…the one you once loved and planned on marrying once she grew up."
"Dorothy how could you know that, stop assuming things such as that, I mean this…I don't remember this."
"I am not assuming Roger smith, I saw it for myself, her memories that were planted in me, that I had no idea of until the code was unlocked some how, and now anything that I touch that may link to her memories I have flash backs of your time together, how you have met…when you ask her to marry you…even when you made love to her."
"This…can it be that within you the memories as locked up? Could it be that I will finally know what I did before the memories were stolen from us?"
"These are her memories with you…I don't know if your memories as locked within me as well, but her memories of you are sweet…wonderful…I could feel what she felt…it is almost as if the unlocking of the code has upgraded me in a way, could you ask Norman to do a check up on me?" she asked looking at the stunt Roger who was still looking down at the picture.
"I can't remember her Dorothy…nothing about her…I forgot her."
"Well it seems that you didn't completely forget if you are feeling grief, I suppose that it makes sense that you should feel that way, it is a bit strange to me as well." She said as she unzipped her dress and let it fall to the ground, then she stepped out of her shoes and pulled down her stockings. "I am ready for Norman."
Roger looked from the picture to her, as she stood completely nude before him, she didn't look like a android at all on the contrary she looked like a healthy young woman, and god was she beautiful.
"Dorothy!" he exclaimed.
"Why are you so flustered Roger Smith, this can't be your first time seeing a female body nude is it?" she asked, hell he saw the human her, damn it to hell why was she getting temperamental all of a sudden!
"Yes but…but Dorothy put this on please!" he said garbing her robe and handing to her missing her almost hurtful look at maybe he didn't like what he saw, yes R. Dorothy was feeling inferior and it didn't feel pleasant. She took it from his hand and nodded, as he watched him look at the photo intently as if forcing his brain to remember.
"Norman" called Dorothy looking for the butler who was her only friend in the big mansion.
"Yes miss. Dorothy what can I help you with?" Norman asked.
"I need a check up…I believe I have been upgraded somehow, and the only one who seem to break into my code is Beck." She said touching her chest and rubbing it gently in a circular motion.
"You know what Norman I'll give Dorothy the check up, you go do what you were doing." said Roger finally tucking the photo into his pocket and easing off his jacket and taking Dorothy's hand to lead her to the lower ground of the lab.
"Roger?"
Roger didn't know why but if the check up was his perverted idea of touching her, then so be it. He had good reasons for lowering himself to such things as this because he needed answers from her and himself and he had to see her again.
"Very well Master Roger, I shall make sure no one disturbs you." Said the butler as if he got what Roger was up to.
"You acting strange as well Roger Smith perhaps you need to see the doctor." She said as he led her down to the lap.
"Believe me I need much more then that!" he said.
She felt excited despite the fact that is nothing more then a check up but the thought his hands on her was almost erotic almost secret, almost something only two people who shared passion for each other did. Ok so she admitted more then one time, that she wanted Roger Smith, what woman didn't?
"Roger…mm…" she cooed into his ear as he kissed down the length of her neck.
"You'll drive me crazy Dorothy…gods, your touch is like fire on me…"
She giggled as she fingers slowly teasingly brushed against his chest. "Make me your Roger Smith, your forever."
"As you wish"
