•The Kamski test• Elijah Kamski

XXXIV. Fuck

I awoke from my nap and checked my bright phone screen. 30 missed calls from Elijah. You'd think someone would get the message...
"Connor?" He had probably left to go assist my father in work like usual.
I clicked the call button and instantly felt regret fill me.

"Jesus Talia, why the fuck have going not answered me?" He was stressed and I could already tell. I yawned and rubbed my eyes from the tiredness.

"What time is it?" I searched around my apartment trying to find a clock.

"It's 1pm! What's wrong with you?"

"Elijah, I just woke up, I'm gonna need you to use a calmer voice." I lower my voice in a sign of calmness and listen to him sigh.

"Talia, you had me worried and stressed out of my fucking mind."
He scolded me, hoping I would feel remorse.

"Elijah, I had to get away. I was going to choke her." I squint my eyes and look at myself in a distant mirror. I need to take a shower.
"She was being a worse bitch-"
Beeping came from over the phone as I looked to a black screen. "Elijah?"
I threw my phone onto the bed and grip strands of hair on my head.

I push my door open and start the shower. "Fuck Kamski, he can suck My dick."

—————
I jump into my car and brush through my towel dried hair with my fingers. What was I doing? Going to see my dad, there's no way I'm going back to see Elijah. After numerous call declines and random hang ups, I've decided to ghost Elijah for about a week. He doesn't deserve me one bit. Or maybe I don't deserve him... No it's definitely the other way around.

———

"Talia." I look up to see the fucker standing next to me. What the fuck is he doing here? I meet his gaze as I enter the office. He walked behind me, making sure to not leave me behind.

"What the fuck!?" I turn to him as I slam the lounge doors once he entered. He grabbed my arms softly, and frown displaying on his face.
"Elijah, I can't do this with you right now."

"Why not?" He was calm, and for some reason it was making me more angry. "Tal..."

"Elijah don't fucking hang up on me when I'm speaking my mind."

"You hung up on me!" He let go of me, his hands flying up in the air.
"I tried calling you back but you never answered!"

"You didn't call me back!?" I state, it sounding more like a question.

"Yes I did. Something must have intervened with our connection on our phones." I smirked and looked away from Elijah.

"What does Alisha do for work?" I crossed my arms and looked up to Elijah.

"She works for these computer companies that repair things." Very descriptive Elijah... What the hell!?

"Elijah, she could've hacked our phones. She probably has the capability!"

"Bullshit. She's not like that." Elijah pulled away, looking to the coffee pot. "Alisha was much more than you saw."

"From what I saw she was your little sex doll."

"Fucks sake, Talia." He turned back to me. "She-She... There's a lot More I can say about her than I can you."

"Oh woah." I look to the ground, hurt tracing my veins. I wasn't prepared for that one.
"Yet look who you're with?"

"Because I love you, Talia Anderson. I love you with every inch of my body and I... I wouldn't change it for a thing." His hands place softly on my face as he admires me.
"You're perfect and natural all around... Alisha was plastic..."

"Jesus, Kamski... How can you make me any softer?"
He winked and pulled me closer to his chest. "I don't get it..."

"Hm?"

"How can we be fighting one minute, and the next we're hugging?" I question, wrapping my arms around his chest.

"Because that's what love is. We fight but our love brings us back together."

———

I can barely shut my eyes at the noise of his voice talking with someone in the room over. My god, Elijah.
"No, well... I canceled! I don't owe you shit."
He huffed as he leaned against the wall I was next to.
"My girlfriend is in the room next to me dude... I have to go but you're being a dick."

I move around in bed, making myself more comfortable. "Hey..." I sighed, moving around my pillow.

"Hi." He was angry, but there was little I could do to help him.
"Sorry for the inconvenient call."

"It's okay, babe."

"I'm babe?"

"Yeah! Duh." He laid beside me, brushing through my hair. "I'm glad... We're back. I don't know how much longer I could handle seeing the love of my life being with someone other than me..."

"Me too. That Connor Android seems deviant to me..."

"Oh no! He's not trust me. I do work with him and he's so... Sociopathic."
I tried to think of the word for a little too long.

"Okay, well I'm exhausted, love. Get some sleep... I'll miss you in my dreams."

"I'll miss you too." I kiss his nose as he reached over to shut off the light.
