I'd always been a loner. Meeting new people wasn't exactly something I was good at. I was content on just playing around with my experiments. I could always count on something happening. What I didn't count on was creating a sentient slime.
At first I didn't know what to do with the creature. I didn't know what to do in general, however I decided to take care of it. I guess I felt responsible. I had created it after all.
It was a bit hard, going into it blind, but I seemed to be doing alright. It would show it's affection by crawling up my arm, encasing it as it would push against my face.
I'd spend my days either experimenting with it resting on my back, or watching some old television series.
It was on one of these days, while watching television, that it crawled off my arm, slithering in front of the screen as I noticed it was expanding, and then stretching.
I got concerned at first. Was it sick? Was it dying? Was it going to consume everything like some old Hollywood monster movie?
I watched as it took the shape of a woman instead as it followed the movements on the screen in front of it. It was.. mimicking a human.
It's skin was clear, with a pink tint, it's body feminine in shape, but obviously lacking any female genitalia. I think I'd probably find that even weirder.
After that I'd taken it upon myself to teach it, to teach her, about what it was like to be human. Books, movies, the internet, my own stories. She'd always listened to me, staring at me as if I was the only person in the world.
I guess I was. I wanted to have her go out into the world, to experience life to the fullest..but it just wasn't possible. I felt horrible, knowing she was basically stuck here, with just me.
I also had to struggle with the fact that I'd found myself, on more than one occasion, thinking about her. Having feelings for her that I knew, I shouldn't feel. I knew I was falling in love with her.
"Jack, what's wrong?" I turned to see Sophia, as I'd taken to calling her, standing there, looking at me concerned. "Nothing, just zoning out, did you need something?"
She looked at me for a moment before she smiled, sitting next to me. "I actually had a question for you. Jack, what does love feel like?"
The question took me aback, I wasn't expecting it. A part of me wanted to hope that she was asking because she felt the same. I was pretty sure that she was just curious though.
"Love is, well, it's complicated. Everyone feels love differently, everyone shows love differently too. But uh, when you want to spend time with someone, when that person is the most important person to you. Sometimes you get this fluttering in your stomach, or you feel hot around the person..you want to be close to them, you want to--" "have sex?"
The way she said it was so blunt. "I-ah- um, yeah, yeah that's definitely something someone could want. Although plenty of people have sex without loving each other. You don't need to feel love to have sex."
It was silent for a moment before I felt her body against mine, her hands left a thin layer of slime as she traced shapes on my skin. "I think, I love you Jack. You're the most important person to me. You're my entire world."
I sat up at that, taking her hands in mine. "I think this is a bit different Sophia, I'm important to you, because I made you. Because I'm all you know."
"No, No it's more than that, you cared for me, you took care of me. You taught me everything you knew. You make me feel special, when we talk..I feel like I'm the only girl in the world, Jack, you make my body feel so warm." Her hands left mine, pulling off my shirt.
"I'm in love with you Jack, I know I am. There's not a lot I'm certain of, but I'm certain of this." Her hands ran down my chest, down to my pants as I found myself quickly becoming aroused.
