Chapter 20 by pablosrules pablosrules

What's on Rob's mind?

Both recklessness and anxiety.

Rob takes Aileen's hands into his own. Both of them are still slightly disheveled from their escapade just now, but both of them have dressed again and sit next to each other on the bench. He looks at Aileen's face, trying to read what she might be thinking. He can't read anything besides a nervous curiosity about what he wants to talk about. The main thing he notices is just how damn beautiful she is to him. Her face is still flushed red and her hair is slightly frizzy, but Rob still finds himself distracted from his train of thought as he looks at her.

He shakes himself out of it and tries to collect his thoughts, looking around as if to check one last time if they are in trouble or not.
Aileen fills the silence: "Sure, we can talk. That was a wild few minutes, huh?"
Rob can't help but chuckle. He once again feels calmed down by Aileen's incredible ability to break the ice he keeps building for himself.
He locks eyes with her again, smiling. "Yeah, that's one way to put it. Listen, I'm... I don't know what you're doing with me. I can't say I dislike it, quite the opposite is the case, but I feel like we can't be this reckless all the time." Aileen seems to want to jump in and say something, but Rob quickly squeezes her hands, saying: "Please let me talk for a bit, I kinda need to air out and organize my thoughts. I'm going to ramble a bit here, I hope that's okay."
Aileen gives a nod for him to continue.

Rob sighs before taking out the phone. "I guess first things first I have to calm my anxiety about the wording of the rule. Is it bad?"
Aileen shakes her head. "I don't think so. I think it made itself adaptable to most previously existing cultures."
Rob turns on his phone as she says this and reads the rules as they appear on the screen.

[current rules]

  1. THE APP "ABSOLUTE RULES" ALWAYS SHOWS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE IT.
  2. WHENEVER AN ABSOLUTE RULE TAKES EFFECT, A GREEN LIGHT FLASHES AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN.
  3. APP CREATOR AILEEN IS ALLOWED TO FELLATE A HUMAN PENIS.
  4. APP CREATOR AILEEN IS ALWAYS VISIBLY SHOWN ON THE APP "ABSOLUTE RULES".
  5. APP CREATOR AILEEN IS ABLE TO TALK LIKE A HUMAN BEING THAT IS SIMILAR TO APP USER ROBERT LAURENT.
  6. HUMANS EXPERIENCE NO SHAME RELATED TO THEIR STATE OF DRESS WHEN THEY ARE IN OR NEAR WATER.
  7. APP CREATOR AILEEN HAS A BODY THAT RESEMBLES A FEMALE HUMAN ADULT OF 25 YEARS AND FUNCTIONS AS SUCH, BUT IT IS INFERTILE, HAS A PERFECT METABOLISM, HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SMELL AND A VERY HIGH LIBIDO.
  8. PUBLIC INTERCOURSE BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS IS WIDELY ACCEPTED AND INTEGRATED INTO SOCIETAL STRUCTURES.

Rob sighs half in relief, half trying not to think about the fact that he'd just made public sex normal, forever.
He turns off the screen and looks back up at Aileen. "Well... I think I'm just glad that it rewrote it for consenting adults, because I did not define that in the heat of the moment." He pauses as that realization washes over him.
This time it's Aileen who squeezes his hands. "I'm sorry that I pushed you into this one so hard. Clearly you're uncomfortable. I just... I haven't been human for long and am trying to learn all these impossible social cues and you just make me so... riled up all the time and, and..." Rob puts a hand on the side of her face, pushing an errant strand of hair out of the way that had gotten stuck to her lips.
"Hey, it's okay. Yes, you do seem to have a tendency to push me into doing reckless things, which is kinda what my racing thoughts wanted to ramble about, but I don't think that has to be a bad thing. I've never done anything reckless in my life, ever, before you showed up. I also realize that I keep forgetting how you literally stumbled out of my closet just yesterday. I feel like I know you so much better than I actually do. - And I mean that in a good way! - It just also means that we might both have to slow down for a moment. I know, I know, I keep saying that and I keep mentioning how the rules are crazy and dangerous and all that, but I don't even mean slowing down in regards to the rules. I think I just mean that... I think I just want to get to actually know you? You, as in the human Aileen that makes me laugh all the time and seems to have a love for movies and juggling artistry, not the omnipotent AI system that changes actual reality with the press of a button...."
Rob sighs as he finishes and realizes what a giant waterfall of words had been racing around within his mind, trying to get out. His eyes search for things to latch on to to avoid looking at Aileen, only finding her eyes again after she gently takes the hand he'd been wildly gesturing with into hers again.
"I- I think I'd like that. Maybe it doesn't have to be about the rules all the time. I kinda think about them a lot, for obvious reasons, but maybe taking a step back could be a good thing. The world is just very big and complicated and that little device in your hand is something I understand a lot more." She pauses for a second, waiting to see if Rob wants to add anything, but he just nods with a resolved smile. It's clear that a previously unkown weight has lifted from his mind now that he was able to ramble for a bit and he doesn't seem to know what else to say. Aileen instead leans forward and does what she does best: Resolving the awkward tension.
"Maybe, and hear me out here, you won't believe this..." that typical mischievous smile returns to her face before she finishes, "...maybe we can get ice cream without changing reality to fuck each other next time."

Rob laughs. "Oh, so just normal fucking then?"

Aileen theatrically gasps. "Wait, you do know me quite well!"

How do the two end their date?
