The call came in at around 10:30, just about the time Leslie usually took her first break of the day. She signed herself out of her computer and quickly crossed the sales floor, slipping into an empty conference room and closing the door behind her. The phone went to voicemail before she could answer it, but Leslie recognized the number and the ringtone--if Billie was calling her at work, then it was probably important enough that she'd keep trying.
Sure enough, the phone rang again in less than a minute, and this time Leslie picked up immediately. "Hey Billie," she said, sitting down in an empty chair and scooting back against the door to make sure she wasn't disturbed. "What's going on? Hot water giving you problems?" The new smart water heater still had a distressing tendency to cut out midway through Leslie's morning shower, but she was at least hoping it would behave for the one day her houseguest was home alone before Leslie's vacation officially started and she could call a Revolution repair tech about the issue.
But the slightly frantic woman on the other end of the line didn't say a word about the water heater. "No, it's--it's your Boy," she stammered into the phone, sounding just a tiny bit out of breath. "It's, um, he--he was in my room when I woke up, and I can't seem to--nnf--to get him to leave me alone." Leslie heard a few muffled thumps, as though someone was knocking on the door of the guest bedroom. "He, uhh, he--he thinks I want to have sex with him," Billie finished, the embarrassment in her voice so palpable that Leslie could almost picture the fierce blush spreading across her old friend's pale, chubby cheeks.
Leslie couldn't help letting out a relieved chuckle. "Well, of course he does, silly!" she giggled, leaning back in her chair and smiling in amusement at the other woman's naivete. "That's what he's there for." She paused. "Did you... not know that?" It felt absurd even to ask-- Revolution Technologies couldn't explicitly talk about sex in their advertisements, but the constant double-entendres they used in their commercials left absolutely no illusions about the intended purpose of their humanoid robots. But the ads were always pretty heterocentric. Maybe Billie just kind of missed that particular bit of subtext.
Or maybe not. "No, I--mmph--I get that!" Billie cried out, sounding as though she was exerting herself pretty strenuously on the other end. "I just--I don't want him to have sex with me!" She let out a low, growling grunt, and Leslie heard another series of muffled thumps and crashes on the other end of the line. It sounded like her former college roommate was absolutely wrecking the place, and Leslie found herself more than a little bit worried about the state of her new furniture. Maybe she should have pushed harder to get today off after all.
"What's going on, Billie, what's happening?" Leslie asked rapidly, trying to keep herself from shouting. She pictured her new Revolution smart television toppling onto the floor, her Revolution smart lounger smashed to pieces under the impact of her Boy(tm)'s body as Billie shoved it roughly away. The kitchen counter was absolutely full of delicate consumer electronics, coffee makers and toasters and smart grilling machines--surely Billie would be careful not to knock any of those off, wouldn't she?
"It's--I--crap!" Leslie heard another thud, this one closer and louder. "I shoved it in the closet, but it's--why the hell are these things so strong?" Billie shouted, frustration and anxiety bleeding through in her voice. "It's a fucking sex doll, why does it need to--nnrrf--need to--" Billie grunted again, a sustained growl of effort that Leslie recognized from the day they first moved in together back in college and Leslie's new roommate needed to find a way to get a mattress up five flights of stairs and into the bedroom. A loud wail of, "Oh for--let me up!" followed close behind.
Leslie let out a sigh of relief. "They're strong because they need to be able to carry you into the bedroom," she explained, already beginning to calm down now that she realized her worries were groundless. Of course the Boy(tm) was handling things. It always did. "It feels good to be in the arms of a big strong Boy(tm) who knows just how to use his muscles, you know? It makes you feel all... mmmm, weak and helpless." Leslie's eyes momentarily went distant, her mind drifting into the memories of being pushed up against the wall and fucked by her Boy(tm). It was never hard to sink into that blissful, erotic sensation of total control. Sometimes Leslie spent whole days floating in it.
But Billie didn't sound convinced just yet. "I don't
