Chapter 161
Blueberry Hill
Gail and Jesse left the club and headed out. They wanted to get back to the base as soon as possible.
They shared some small talk and a lot of 'hungry' looks on the way home.
Jesse wanted to ask about Duplicate Jesse, but somehow it didn't seem appropriate to bring it up. She wanted to know how she would 'fit in'. She wanted to know how she compared to 'herself'. Maybe it was too soon to ask.
Cameron previously explained it all to Jesse and how they were identical. Jesse thought it would have been hot to meet an identical version of herself. She was pretty sure they would have started to 'explore' each other. At least they could do to each other all the things they wanted to try, because both of them would want the same things. She would really like to see what she looked like to others everywhere, from their point of view.
They arrived at the base. Jesse was unsure what was going to happen. She knew an identical version of herself did 'the same thing', and enjoyed it enough to become partners with Gail. It meant she should too. She was aware it would take something utterly fantastic for her to make such a decision and commitment.
Jesse wanted to see what 'things' were going to be like, even if it was only for one time. She wanted to try it, and try it right now.
Gail possessed a lot of 'insight' of her own, because she already did everything before with Duplicate Jesse. She knew what Jesse liked and desired. When they reached Jesse's room, she knew what Jesse 'wanted' when they went inside.
Jesse was about to look back and say something to Gail. She didn't need to.
Gail reached over and picked Jesse up. She carried her into her room.
The gesture surprised Jesse.
Did Gail just carry her 'across the threshold'? Jesse wondered. It was like a fantasy or secret dream to her. It was a special desire she kept hidden away. It was something she remembered from when she was younger. It was a story her mother read to her. It was something which she felt made her special. No one else ever performed or even offered the gesture before. They were all in too big of a hurry to do other things.
She liked the strength and forcefulness of Gail. Power she could respect. Physical power always meant something, especially in the Wastelands. Often it was used against her, especially when she was younger. She liked it even better, when it was used in a constructive manner.
Jesse may have had a few more drinks than was necessary at the club. She didn't think she was overly intoxicated. Gail started in on her. Everything just seemed beautiful to her as it happened. It was almost like Gail knew everything she desired. Then again, Gail did know. She did all it before with Duplicate Jesse, HER Jesse, HER beloved. She wondered where she would stack up in all it.
She was extremely excited. She was sure it was more so than she ever was. Jesse dreamed of what it would be like to be with Cameron. Now she was about to find out with someone as close to 'Cameron' as she would ever get. She looked at Gail and her HOT body. It was close enough she thought, and those knockers just didn't quit…. Look at the size of those things!
Gail took the bottle out of Jesse's hand and set it on the dresser. She laid Jesse on her bed and kissed her long, slow and deep. Once again she literally took Jesse's breath away.
She was very pleased to feel Jesse respond to her. It was very much like the first time she was with Duplicate Jesse. She wanted to be positive it was what Jesse wanted. Cameron warned her to never push anyone beyond what they wanted. She said it was very important, especially to the girls from the future. There were those who always took from them, and left nothing but pain and a mess behind.
It became Gail's secret desire to go back in time to Jesse's future, and personally terminate those who abused her. Cameron warned her away from such folly. She said it would change the timeline, and who Jesse was, if she did. What she changed in the past, the future, wouldn't change who Jesse currently was, since she was out of the timeline. She refocused her attention on Jesse. It was where they were now.
"Are you sure?" Gail asked.
Gail wanted Jesse to make a choice. Gail wanted to be chosen.
Jesse was more than pleased with everything which happened so far. She liked how Gail didn't push or take, even if she was forceful. It wasn't forceful in a negative way at all. Everything Gail offered was something she wanted. It was more than on a sexual level. It was on a personal level as well. She wanted someone to want her, and she wanted to want them.
"I am, Gail. I'm ready." Jesse said. "I want YOU. I choose you."
Gail was very pleased to hear it. Cameron provided the opportunity to bring her beloved 'back' to her, just like she promised. She was very thankful Cameron reactivated her. She was a little dismayed at first when she realized she was no longer terminated. Cameron asked her to trust her and asked her to believe in Jesse. She did both. She owed Cameron a lot for two reasons. One was because she was 'alive'. The other was because Jesse was back, and wanted her.
Jesse wanted THIS 'bad', real bad. The anticipation drove her wild. There was something else she wanted as well. She wanted what was real.
"I want just YOU when we share. Don't use any fancy or advanced programming." Jesse said. "I want the real you."
Gail smiled. It was what she wanted to hear too. Jesse wanted more than a machine. Jesse was about to belong to her 'again'. Her beloved was about to be reincarnated….
She was aware it was what she 'dreamed' of since the moment Cameron told her Jesse 'lived', a Jesse. Now it would be HER Jesse 'again'.
She remembered how she interacted with Duplicate Jesse and what songs set the mood for when they shared. Duplicate Jesse often wanted sex, and to finish as many times as possible. There were other times when Duplicate Jesse wanted more. She felt very inadequate at those times. Vanna and Allison were what she needed then.
Her emotional development was extremely limited. She watched the personal interaction of the human girls many times. It was each other they sought out the majority of the time. The physical aspect of sex and lovemaking was actually only a portion of it. It was clear with Vanna and Allison their desire was for each other, not just sexual gratification. She did learn a few things from Duplicate Jesse.
It was where they were now. It was time to set the mood.
"In that case, let me start with this song." Gail said.
Jesse and Gail gently kissed, as they slowly undressed each other….
'Blueberry Hill' by 'Fats Domino', played in the background.
Cameron arrived back at the base with Holly, Allison, and Vanna.
Holly thanked everyone and quickly left the group.
Allison watched her go. She saw Holly look back once as she went around a corner. She joined in on the conversation Cameron and Vanna started.
"We all shared a great time tonight, Cameron." Allison said.
Vanna enjoyed her time at the club. It wasn't something which happened often. The girls didn't get out much. It made her think of their earlier predicament with the temporal error. Things certainly could have turned out quite a bit differently.
"Thanks, Cameron." Vanna said. "It was sure better than the jungle we were in."
Cameron agreed with Vanna's statement. What was she thinking when she left in the first place? She loved being with the girls. They were never negative towards her. They were always nice to her. They never said mean or snide things to her, especially to her face. She felt a slight glitch impulse as she remembered the way she was originally treated by everyone in the Connor family. She quickly suppressed the thought. Vanna and Allison weren't them. She knew they never would be either.
"I like spending time with you too." Cameron said.
Cameron wanted to say 'more' but decided against it. Now might not be the time. She didn't want to spoil the evening for anyone. She left them at their room. She knew she should have left the area but she didn't. She wanted to push her own personal agenda. She listened to their conversation from down the hall. She knew what was sure to come next.
Vanna and Allison looked back at the closed door once they entered their room. It was clear they both thought about Cameron.
"I really liked our time out." Vanna said.
Allison moved close to her and looked at her eyes.
"I did too." Allison said. "I always want to spend time with you."
Vanna smiled and leaned forward. The two girls kissed. It was a loving kiss.
"I want to be with you forever." Vanna said. "You're the sunshine of my life."
Allison was very pleased to hear it. She knew Vanna meant it too. It made her think about the earlier conversation at the club. It hadn't gone very far. It seemed like something important.
"What did you want to talk about, Vanna?" Allison asked. "I mean earlier."
Vanna could feel her happy mood worsen. What she heard worried her on multiple levels. She felt depressed and unsure. She was very troubled….
She was afraid it was going to open a whole can of worms. She didn't want to spoil the beautiful evening. She didn't want it to spoil her alone time with Allison. She wanted to dodge the issue for now.
"I'm tired. It can wait until tomorrow." Vanna said.
Allison could see by Vanna's reaction it was something deeper. She was around her enough to know when Vanna was bothered by something. She wanted to know what troubled Vanna, but decided to let it go, for now. It seemed Vanna didn't want to discuss it right now. She didn't want to cause Vanna any distress. Whatever it was, they would deal with it together. It was together how they were able to survive and move forward through life. Whatever obstacle it was, they would find a way to overcome it.
"Sure, Vanna, it can wait until later." Allison said.
Cameron moved on. She hoped so. She was aware there were several options open to her for how she proceeded going forward. She really wondered if she was going to come clean to the girls, or lie about it.
She needed to push her agenda. She also needed to remind herself, it wasn't her agenda, it was Future John's agenda. It didn't matter. She wanted John protected going forward. The anti-Metal faction was out there. They weren't going anywhere either. There would only be one way to deal with them when the time came. She didn't want John assassinated for being a 'Metal Lover', especially if only a 'Metal lover' was with him.
She didn't believe she would be able to offer John the same things a human female could. It was more than just the physical aspect of being able to reproduce. The human girls were better suited to deal with emotional issues. If it was just about sex, she believed she could prevail. She could perform any sex act until her power still ran out, or she was terminated.
Cameron quickly pushed those thoughts from her mind. She needed to remember where she was at and who she was with. It was time for her to provide John with some sexual comfort. She wanted to feel him want her, even if it was just for sex.
Cameron was a little uneasy as to how things were going to play out. There was no getting around it at this point. She retreated to John's room, their room.
John smiled as she entered the room. It pleased him greatly to see Cameron.
"How did your 'ladies' night' out go?" John asked.
They all made it back undamaged. It seemed good to Cameron. There were no terminations by anyone in their group. Well, not directly anyway. Since it wasn't Skynet related, she didn't see any reason to bring it up.
"Things went pretty good." Cameron answered. "Everything worked out fine."
John was aware things could get a little wild at times. He wanted to know a little more but was sort of afraid of the answer.
"Were there any altercations or challenges?" John asked.
Cameron frowned a little. Maybe she could talk about a few incidents inside of the club and not what happened before they arrived with Holly and her.
"Well…." Cameron started and paused.
Now John was really worried.
"Oh boy." John said. "Spill it…."
Holly went to her room. She experienced a great time out with the ladies. She really enjoyed being around Cameron. In fact she missed Cameron being 'in' her, on her chip. It was like a part of her was 'missing' now. She did want to do 'more' with John. She didn't feel Cameron was ready. Cameron wouldn't tell John she was in her. She didn't understand why. John would still love Cameron in whatever chassis she was in, or whatever sheath she possessed.
She was certain one of the reasons why Cameron never pushed her to do more was because of her physical appearance, the way her sheath looked. She believed Cameron felt John's desire for her was based on her physical appearance. If someone with a 'superior' physical appearance were to be with him, he might desire it more all of the time. She believed it was an unfounded fear on Cameron's part based upon the physical appearance of Riley, Future Riley. She didn't believe it was future Riley's larger breast size which attracted John to her. She believed they were actually a number of issues involved, especially based upon the recent events of the time.
She knew Cameron was upset the time she asked John if he would prefer her chip in Gail's chassis. She decided Cameron could have her chassis, or Gail's chassis, and be 'herself'. Cameron didn't want to do it for some reason. She would have given Cameron her choice, so Cameron could 'live' and be with John as herself even, if the sheath and chassis were 'different'. She understood Cameron was her program and not her sheath.
Holly didn't know the reason was because of the blonde hair they both used to have. It reminded Cameron too much of Riley, Future Riley. Cameron couldn't bear the thought of John being with her and 'seeing Riley' instead….
It gave her some pause to reflect on with the 'looks' she shared and exchanged with Allison. She wasn't sure if it was because Allison looked like Cameron or there was something else.
Maybe she tried to read more into it than there was. The girls from the other future were all extremely promiscuous with other females. It seemed to be something they all enjoyed and sought out with each other. It better helped her understand sexual relations weren't just limited as they were in the animal kingdom. They weren't restricted to reproduction. It allowed the girls to seek out much more than just a mate for reproduction. It allowed them to seek out something much deeper.
Cameron really didn't want to drag John into the darker parts of the night. They were a little thrilling for her.
"It was after Allison and Vanna were done dancing…." Cameron started.
John wanted to hear more.
"Go on." John urged.
Cameron smiled to herself as she continued.
"There was a group of men who wanted to 'pick them up'." Cameron said. "Allison told them to 'blow'."
John nodded. Allison was very vocal at times. He knew she was quick to 'bite'. She was also quick to 'forgive'.
"I can picture it." John said.
Cameron used a little of her 'natural ability' to get her point across to the men.
"I didn't like what I saw or heard." Cameron said. "I walked over towards them. Then one of them said something mean to Allison. I didn't like them to be rude towards the girls. 'Is there a problem here?' I asked. I slowly crushed the metal napkin holder in my hand as they all watched. The one who insulted Allison said, 'No, no problem'. I put my face right in front of his. 'If you have a problem with my sister, then you have a problem with me'."
John smiled as he visualized the scene.
"Go on." John said.
Cameron didn't think there was too much to moderate in her description.
"Then Holly walked up in her red dress and asked, 'Should I call for the ambulance now?' One of the men asked why as no one was hurt. Holly suggested they leave before they left in an ambulance." Cameron said. "Holly then tore the crushed metal napkin holder in half and said, 'Don't make me bust you up'."
John laughed.
"I can see how it would get the point across." John said.
Cameron was pleased the physical interaction didn't need to expand.
"The men apologized, offered to pay for our drinks and left." Cameron finished with some hesitation.
John was a little worried about the hesitation.
"It doesn't sound too bad so far." John said.
Cameron was quiet for a few seconds.
"Then we left to come back…." Cameron started and paused.
John slowly let out his breath.
"Oh boy. Let's have the rest of it…." John said.
Cameron didn't want to get into too much detail.
"I needed to shoot out the tires on a vehicle which tried to follow us home." Cameron said. "It was some other group of men who picked us up at a stoplight."
John wondered if there were some terminations after all.
"You only shot out the tires?" John asked.
Cameron felt her statement was accurate, even if not complete.
"Yes." Cameron said. "I was going to terminate them because they will probably become Scavengers in the future. Allison and Vanna both asked me not to kill anyone so I didn't."
John waited to see if there was more. It seemed there was much more to tell. Cameron was hesitant. He didn't really want to push her. He would give her the option to do it herself.
"Was there anything else?" John asked.
Cameron paused again. She didn't want to get into the earlier incident since it involved multiple terminations. None of them were actually directly by her or anyone in their group.
"Those were the only events of consequence." Cameron said.
Holly was aware Cameron sacrificed herself to trap and terminate Skynet. She wondered if it was to protect John, or to settle a personal score, or both. Cameron blocked many things from her. Cameron also shared much with her. When she wanted to know more about her pain and hurt, Cameron directed her to her poem book. Cameron instructed her to read each one and she would share her 'feelings' with her as she read it. It was the specific feeling Cameron felt when she created it. Cameron would share it unfiltered. It would be what she felt as well at that point.
Holly picked up the book and looked at it.
MY STORY
(Art Of The Mind)
By
NOBODY
As Holly read she felt the pain Cameron felt. She cried along with Cameron as she relived each one. The pain Cameron felt was intense….
Even in Holly's chassis, Cameron knew if she could still feel pain, she was still alive….
These were new 'feelings' for Holly to experience. They were most unsettling and disturbing. She was now able to better understand Cameron and her extreme actions. It also showed her it was much more out there to share with others in both a positive and negative way. She would like to try the positive way.
Jesse experienced the time of her life. She couldn't believe the way Gail could make her feel. Gail knew just when to do everything to make it better, and how best to do it.
"It was amazing, Gail." Jesse gasped.
Gail smiled. She had a beautiful smile when she smiled. It wasn't often.
"Are you ready for more?" Gail asked.
Jesse loved the experience of everything.
"You know exactly what I want and when." Jesse said.
Gail smiled again. She had a lot of practice with Duplicate Jesse.
"Yes, I actually do." Gail said. "I also know CPR…."
Jesse barely got her breath back.
"Will it be very intense?" Jesse asked.
Gail remembered reviving Duplicate Jesse a few times.
"It will be like nothing YOU have experienced, or even imagined before." Gail said.
Jesse wondered what it would have been like being with Gail, if they were stuck in prehistoric times.
"I wish you could have been there when we were stuck in the jungle." Jesse said.
Gail tilted her head slightly. She was ready to deliver a lot more to Jesse. It seemed it gave her a direction to go.
"Jungle?" Gail said. "Hold On."
Gail selected the next song and turned the volume all the way up.
"Welcome to the jungle." Gail said. "This will be my jungle, OUR jungle."
Jesse was taken to where she'd never been before, over and over.
'Welcome To The Jungle' by 'Guns N' Roses', shook the room.
Closing monologue by Cameron:
It's Not The First Time
History repeats itself
It has often been said
If that is the case
The future we should tread
It is our destiny
Brought together by fate
For what is inevitable
We need not each other berate
We have each other
What more do we need
It is simply ineluctable
It is time we listen and heed
All is as it was
The natural order restored
The games are over
It is time we explored
We can exchange a loving touch
To share is not a crime
We've done this
It's not the first time
Nobody
We've Done This
You can't remember
It hasn't yet been done
I know I was there
I was the one
We both want it
It is more than fate
There is no need to wait
We are each other's mate
Time inevitably moves on
The closer we are every day
I am not the one held back
By what others might say
I feel your heart beating fast
Our love is meant to last
The future will bring
What has already past
We can share a loving kiss
Be overjoyed with bliss
It's not the first time
We've done this
Nobody
