The Watch Is Still On

Zach Evans has just synchronized the data of "ALL" and started the program again. And the first feed that comes through his computer monitor is some blurry image of a kitchen.

Oh, Rae is still wearing the watch. Where is she? This looks like a very big kitchen. She's definitely not home.

And then he immediately sees Wes Warren's chest and arm.

"Ugh," Zach Evans turns off the monitoring function.

What the heck? What is she doing? Is she touching Wes Warren?

Zach is madly jealous. And then he just feels sad and empty. He believes he just caught a glimpse of Rae making out with Wes Warren. Again.

He saw that with his very eyes, in person, at the party the first time they kissed. Again witnessing from Rae's point of view when he skimmed through the date through the smart watch where he saw their intimate interaction on their first date. Now this? He only looked at it a split second but that was enough.

So Rae likes Wes Warren.

Why did he just suggest to Wes Warren that he'll help find out more about Rae. This is a torture. He's not sure how he feels about her, but he knows it drives him mad to know she's with him again.

When Wes confronted Zach about Rae, Zach knew he couldn't really lie his way out of it. Zach then assured Wes that Rae also signed a non-disclosure agreement so she would not tell anyone about this.

Wes still wasn't too satisfied with this explanation.

"Is that the only reason why she lied to me?"

"What?"

"That she lied that she didn't know anything about a robot that looks like me. Did she hide that from me because you guys make her sign a non-disclosure agreement?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure. And really, according to my A.I. system analysis, which is something I was going to pitch to you, she is a reliable person. She signed it, she won't break the agreement."

For some reason, the part "she won't break the agreement" reminds Wes of something else in the past.

"If you have doubts why she didn't come clean with you, I can help find out why. "

"You can analyze why she lied to me?"

"Not me personally, my system can."

And Wes agreed. And that's how Zach got himself back to the monitoring system. Like he said, he doesn't have to watch everything and monitor her himself. But, he's so damn curious what's going on with her.

He doesn't know what Rae and Wes are going to do next. He struggles to decide if he should even turn the monitoring function back on again tonight.

Zach paces around his lab. He hasn't eaten anything all day, but he's lost all his appetite.

*** ***

Rae's eyes are temporarily blurred by the passionate kiss but they are now wide open upon hearing Wes's question: "What's my name?"

"You are Wes Warren."

Why is Wes Warren asking this? Is he suspecting something?

Wes smiles after hearing this, "Just checking. Because, you know, how we first met."

"You have nothing to worry about. You are Wes Warren. One and only."

Their lips touch again, effortlessly, like they are meant to be interlocked. Their tongues touch lightly, and Rae now wraps her arms around his neck, inviting him to explore other parts of her body.

Wes leans in and start kissing her neck. She moans, and Wes pushes her shirt up, now go straight to her bra. He unhooks the garment.

"Oh, Wes. I...," Although Rae is excited and lost, she calls herself back to the reality. This might be too fast.

Wes now moves one of his hand down to her lower body. He strokes her thighs, hinting what he wants to touch next.

Suddenly, Rae feels something vibrating on her wrist. She gasps and looks.

There's a message on her watch. It just says "Hello."

"What?" Rae now stops herself, and looks at the watch in horror.

Holy moly. This watch is still monitoring her? She covers her watch immediately.

"What is it?" Wes Warren asks, he is panting a little.

"Oh, I just suddenly worry if my watch has scratched you."

"No it hasn't," Wes Warren kisses her again. He directs her hand down to his lower body. He doesn't have to do that. She can feel what's up in his pants.

Rae is now distracted. She is very confused.

Suddenly, they hear the door bell ringing. It must be the food delivery.

Wes tidies himself up a little, and walks to the front door. Rae checks her reflection on the double-door fridge.

"Oh my gosh!" She lets out a frustrated grumble.

Rae then tries to send a message on the watch as a reply and find out what's going on. But, she actually hasn't used the texting function before, and she's not sure how to. She taps on the watch to search for the function, and finally there's a tab for voice-transcription message. Of course. It will be too difficult to type on a small screen. She looks around to see if she could find a restroom. She sees a door right under the stairs. Ah, that has to be the powder room.

She opens the door, but it's not the powder room. It's a closet. But it doesn't matter. She just needs to hide to send one message really quickly.

"Z?" She speaks to the watch and presses send.

"Are you watching and listening?" She presses send.

"If so, you need to stop." She presses send. And she comes out of the closet.

Wes Warren is still standing by the front door. Is he chatting with somebody?

It sounds like a woman. She peers and wonders if she should walk over there. Nope. Don't. She drinks more of the sparkling water, and then decides maybe she can start the dough. That's why she's here. She wants to show Wes what she's good at.

"Hey, food is here," Wes walks back holding a paper bag, "I see you have already started making something?"

"Oh no, just getting the flour out. I can stop for now. I haven't really started. I haven't even asked where your measuring cups are," Rae puts the bag of flours to the side. The flour smells really good. She only uses the best.

Wes puts the take-out sack down and takes the food out.

"Who were you talking to?" Rae asks.

"Oh, my assistant. She said she was stopping by to check on..., check on us, and she saw the food delivery person and just got the food for us." Wes looks at Rae as he takes all the lids off the food containers.

"How nice of her," Rae hands him plates. Wes puts the dinner on the plates for both of them. Wes is quiet for a while. He doesn't want to mention why the assistant stops by.

Rae cuts the chicken then takes a full bite of chicken, she beams with cheeks now round because of the big chunk of food and her eyes twinkle.

"You are too damn cute," Wes laughs, and leans to kiss her cheek.

"This is really my fantasy," Rae swallows the food, "Eating in a huge kitchen."

"Oh, I thought you meant something else?" Wes winks, "Because I've got some fantasy about this kitchen, too."

Rae blushes. And then the watch vibrates again.
