“Co in!”
I opened the door and saw that Ulum was sitting at her desk, writing sothing on a docunt. Her office was small but she didn’t have to share it with anyone, making it a much better deal than the open spaces that were so popular back in my world.
As I ca inside, she glanced at
before going back to her work.
“You’re here.”
That wasn’t the most welcoming greeting but it suited her personality.
“Ulum! I missed you a lot!”
“Nonsense. Close the door and sit down.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
I took a seat on a chair in front of her desk and she continued working without making eye contact with .
“What’s wrong, honey? Are you very busy?”
“Don’t call
that. I’m not busy, I just like doing paperwork in the morning.”
“How’s the job going so far? Is it interesting? Are your colleagues treating you well? Why don’t you look at ?”
She sighed and finally took her eyes off her docunt. She put her pen down and stared at
with mixed emotions.
“One question at a ti. The job is going well, it’s neither boring nor very interesting. I have so nice colleagues and others who are jerks, like everywhere.”
“You still didn’t tell
why you took on such a job. And why you didn’t take a break after the exams. And why you ca to inspect our stall last ti.”
This made her frown.
“I said one question at a ti. Why are you so curious anyway?”
“Hey, it’s cool, right? I just want to know more about you.”
“Hmm.”
She glared at
with suspicion but still answered after so ti.
“Even if I take a break, there’s nothing much to do in this small do.”
She obviously avoided the other two questions, which made
smile.
“I see. I’m glad you like
so much that you wanted to support
with this job. I still have to thank you for the inspection last ti, that was very professional of you.”
“Enough. Why did you co here today?”
“Do I need a reason to visit my good friend Ulum?”
“Speak the truth.”
“No, no, for real.”
“Then, what did you do last week?”
“That’s a secret.”
“I don’t like secrets.”
“Why do you dislike
touching you?”
This shut her up, and I took the opportunity to tease her so more.
“Hello everyone, I’m Ulum. I have tons of secrets I’ll never share with anyone but I hate other people keeping secrets from . Keep that in mind when you interact with . Looking forward to working with you!”
Her gaze was now very dark, in proportion to how much she liked my joke.
“Soone needs to slap you soday, Tila.”
“Too bad it won’t be you.”
Her expression changed at that mont. She hesitated for a while before continuing.
“I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”
“Oh?”
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Tell
anything. I can’t promise I’ll do it but I can at least listen to you.”
“Yes, shut up and listen. I want to… try fixing my touching problem. And I want you to help . I’m aware I can’t go on like this forever. Will you do it?”
“To think you want to slap
that much.”
This made her smirk.
“Yes, my hands have been itching since the very first ti I t you. I’m even dreaming of it at night now.”
“Wow, you’re dreaming of . I already said it but I don…”
She interrupted
mid-sentence, probably because she knew I would spout sothing ridiculous.
“Will you do it?”
“Haha. And here I thought you’d ask for back-breaking work. No problem, of course, I’ll help you. What should I do?”
She nodded and took so deep breaths. After a minute of doing so, she extended her hand toward , fist closed except for her index finger pointing in my direction.
“Try to touch my finger. A little.”
Just like she was doing, I extended my index finger toward hers and noticed she started to tremble anxiously. I moved quickly to avoid her staying apprehensive for too long, only slowing down when my finger was right next to hers.
I poked the tip of her finger with mine and she shivered, her face distorting in disgust. It didn't feel good to be at the receiving end of that expression but I decided to put on my doctor’s hat and think of this as a treatnt without taking it personally.
She forced herself to keep the contact for a couple of seconds but soon couldn’t take it anymore. With a gasp, she broke the connection and rubbed her finger hard on her clothes as if trying to clean herself of so revolting substance.
‘It’s not because of you, Tila. You just took a bath and you’re perfectly clean. It’s definitely unrelated to you.’
While I was ntally hypnotizing myself, Ulum’s scrunched face progressively relaxed as she took control of her trembling and breathing. She looked back at
and scowled.
“There’s a lot of work to do… I knew it, though.”
I grinned to encourage her.
“And that’s with the person you love the most in the world. Imagine if it was soone you hated.”
This made her shiver and it felt like she could think of at least one such person. After a while, she shook her head.
“Let’s do it so more.”
“All right. I have to say, I’m very impressed. Not many people try so hard to fix their issues. I’m falling in love again.”
“Be quiet and do it again.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Just like that, I spent a few tens of minutes helping with her problem. While she could barely tolerate
touching her at first, by the end of the session, she could last as much as fifteen seconds, which was an impressive improvent. I suspected her willpower was high, and she could beco great in the right circumstances.
