The Hate His Touch

Playground

I threw away my face to avoid touching her.

"You should've told that to your whore! He's the one you've been sleeping with, not me!" cynical kataku.

"I'm glad to know you're jealous. Indirectly you're saying that you don't like me being close to Clara. Be patient, baby, I'll be yours soon. I promise I won't make you jealous" she said in a tone that disgusted me to hear.

"Just dream of you!" cynical kataku.

"Open your mouth" he said.

"Is that what you're poisoning?" I looked suspiciously at the food he had offered me.

Without a second thought, he devoured the food he had been thrusting. "not toxic, I only mixed stimulants. Try it" he said calmly.

I stared hard at him. Albert just chuckled at me.

"I'm kidding, without it I'm sure I can get you wet and want me. So do not think strangely," he said while thrusting a spoon filled with food towards my mouth.

I haven't seen Andrew in 4 months. Lastly, he reported that he was in Miami to take care of work. He called me several times to talk about business or personal matters. I don't know if I'm comfortable with his attention to me. I'm grateful that he wasn't here when I was in a wheelchair. During my time with Andrew, I felt like there was something new that I had. He's such a funny guy that I can't hold back my laugh when I'm with him. Our cooperation is also going well. Today is my second day without a wheelchair. Albert stopped driving me. Even so occasionally he would call me and would come if I didn't pick up his phone. I sighed in annoyance as I remembered her behavior.

"Get in" I said when I heard a knock at the door.

I was still staring at the view from the glass wall. I wonder about the person I just asked to come in. That person said nothing to make his point. I turned my head and got Andrew who was smiling widely while looking at me. I closed my open mouth, surprised to see it in front of me.

"How's Miss killer doing?" said it.

I narrowed my eyes at the sign I was offended by her call. He chuckles at me and makes me chuckle.

I kept laughing hearing her stories about her travels and her childhood. He deserves to be a comedian. With various styles and expressions he told me all funny things until I laughed out loud.

"You know they called me the hickey from the ghost cave. That's because I've always been alone and always dressed geeky. Actually I was lazy to have to go to public school, but again it was because of my parents' choice. Know it? Said one of the students who always bullied me, I'm like this...." Suddenly Andrew was in a strange style that made me laugh to see him.

Andrew laughed with me.

"Yes, you laugh at me too. I also laugh at myself when I see them show me" Andrew said with a funny look.

I held my stomach which hurt because I laughed a lot. Andrew could only shake his head in response to my attitude.

"Well, you're not as scary as the gossip. I thought I was going to come back and again failed to convince the client to work with me" said Andrew, who made me stop my laughter.

"I'm creepy?" my many.

"Yes he said it was difficult to get a contract with you. Said you were super fierce and cold. You know yesterday my coworker congratulated me when I just came to his place for the chance to work with you. You're really a legend at a young age and it's amazing" Andrew said in a funny way.

"Yes that's true" I said with a smile watching her.

"Then why would you accept me?" said Andrew.

"Your determination and your will makes me think you still have a chance. I'm sure you can succeed" I said sincerely.

"really? Well you're like a psychic" said Andrew who made me shake my head.

***

I let him stay home and not put him in jail. It's not time to do that yet. I screamed in shock as I felt a pull that made me hit someone's body.

"Why don't you come home?" said Albert.

I tried to escape from her embrace. Albert hugged her.

"Se .. sak...." I stammered.

Albert let go of his hug without taking his hand off my hand.

"My answer, are you afraid of Clara?" said Albert.

"That's the opposite, I can't possibly be afraid of him. Unhand me!" pissed me.

"Then go home," he said.

"I am disgusted to see your behavior and to hear your words. You look like a husband who has 2 wives in one house. Listen, if you want to play house, then don't take me to your game! I'm so disgusted by you two. I hate being in that house because of you. Can you take Clara to your house? You should know yourself for occupying a man's house without that man's permission! Get out of my house and bring your whore! Don't mess up my house with your behavior!" angry say.

I stomped my hands violently and pushed her away from my apartment.

***

Andrew took me to the playground. I don't know what he thought to bring me to a crowded place.

"Why did you bring me here?" my spoken.

"I want to come here, too, but I don't want to be alone. Besides maybe this can cure you of your fear of the crowd" he said with a gentle smile.

Andrew got out of his car and went around his car to open the car door next to me. He extended his hand to me. I was actually hesitant, but when I saw Andrew's soothing green eyes I slowly welcomed his hand. I looked down when Andrew closed the car door. Andrew cupped my face with his warm hands. I don't know if I feel good when I come into contact with him.

"I promise I won't leave you" said Andrew softly.

Andrew's sincere words made me smile. I don't know if my heart feels warm with him. It was as if all the burdens were lifted. Andrew took me along as we walked through the crowd. I clasped her hands tightly until she turned to me several times and gave me her gentle smile.

"We ride it," said Andrew pointing to a vehicle that looked like a huge swirling bowl. I just nodded in agreement.

***

I laughed when I saw Andrew who looked pale after we boarded the jetcoster for 5 times because of my request. I never thought playing on the playground would be so much fun. All the rides we have been riding and this makes me feel free and free because I can scream at will. My heart feels empty at this moment. I sighed happily while smilingly looking at the clear sky.

"You thirsty?" said Andrew.

I nodded quickly while smiling at him.

"Well wait here for a while I'll be there to buy you a drink" said Andrew.
