30 New Home (III)

Seeing him, Fadila began to laugh to his reaction. David ignored her laughter as he thought of how Nous had gone above and beyond to truly make this a home.

Looking at things now, it was clear that while the A.I had incorporated a lot of advanced technology into the house and had even added some that couldn't even be considered technology, it still made sure that the house fit the norms of sthe current society.

"Okay let's check out the other places" David said as he struggled to stand

No one would want to leave such a comfortable couch behind but thinking about how the bed would be of the couch was this comfortable, David summoned the strength to stand.

"How about we go upstairs?" David asked with a grin plastered on his face

"Don't you think it's too early for that?" Fadila said as David's grin immediately turned into an awkward smile.

"Okay, you don catch me but make we dey go upstairs" David said knowing that she wouldn't agree

"Okay" she replied as she stood up and they made their way upstairs.

The upper floor wasn't all that different from the ground floor. The interior design still matched the one downstairs and didn't standout too much compared to most homes he had visited in the past.

"This place is ridiculously big" Fadila said as they came out of one of the rooms on the upper floor

"Three rooms on the upper floor, a living room and a master bedroom, nice" David commented as he calculated exactly how much space he had

"If the main house is this big then why did you build the other houses?" Fadila asked pointing through the window to one of the houses, Nous had built.

There were about four of them and all of them were clearly built to contain more people. The buildings were both five storeys tall and seemed to house at least three apartments in each floor.

Looking at the houses now, he didn't know what to answer her. They weren't a part of his original design so he didn't exactly know why the houses were built. He had to come up with something, fast.

"That, I don't know" David answered

"What?"

"The buildings were already here when I bought the place... they probably just renovated it as well because they can" David continued his lie

He felt like he had lied more times than he had in about three months now. The lies just kept coming and this was when they had yet to even reach the underground sector.

"Huh?" Fadila said as she thought about what he said

It made sense if the house and the other buildings were already here when he bought the place and ordered for it to be renovated, they would renovate the other houses as well after all, all of them were now his property.

"Come, I have somewhere special to show you... let's hope they got it up and running" David said even if he knew it was definitely functional.

"Where is that?"

"Don't think about it, you'll see it when we get there" David said as he led her through the building

Soon they were standing in front of an elevator located on the ground floor of the building and hidden behind a fake wall that could be slide aside to reveal it.

"Ehn!... what is this one again?"

"Don't worry, you'll see" David said as he pressed the button that had the symbol of flowing water on it.

Soon they were on their way down into the underground section of the mountain. The more they went down, David began to realize just how powerful the bots truly were.

They had dug an elevator space to such depths in just a night. Above all if Nous was right, all the spaces they just passed weren't empty, they were all also places he could use. freewebnoveℓ.com

Spaces built into the mountain itself, if David didn't consider Advanced technology a cheat before then now he definitely considered them a cheat.

After a few seconds, they arrived at their destination. David's heart rapidly pounded against his chest in nervousness while Fadila maintained a certain distance between her and him

Even if she trusted him, said trust hadn't reached the level of trusting him with her life. She didn't know what it was that David planned to show her but just in case, the gap will remain.

This was a new environment and only an idiot will trust someone with their lives in such a place.

As th elevator door opened, they were welcomed by a brightly lit cave-like environment. David seeing this frowned as this was completely unexpected and didn't exactly scream romantic as he had thought it would.

"Where is this?" Fadila asked again

*Sigh*

"I wanted to show you the underground river than flows through the mountain but I don't know what they did" David answered as they continued walking

Seeing his dejected posture, Fadila already knew that he had initially planned this probably as a surprise for her.

"Don't worry, the house is enough" She said as a smile bloomed on his face

As they walked the cave slowly got wider, they came upon a large area, sounds of water flowing were head as David's smile grew even bigger

In front of them was the underground river and just like Nous had said, it was beautiful. Located just ahead of them was a small lounge where they could sit and watch the river.

"Now that's more like it" David said

The two made their way to the lounge and simply sat like the two jobless people they were as they enjoyed the view.

"Do you ask for this section just for me?" Fadila asked

"You can say that..."

"Aww, that's sweet"

"...but it once used to be a dam that supplied power to the house" David said with a smile

"You can't just let me enjoy the moment abi?" Fadila asked as she slapped his shoulder

I am sorry to all, I will probably not be posting more chapters for now since I am in the process of being contracted

I will drop at least 10 chapters once it's done... assuming it takes too much time

Wish me luck

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
