章 25: Nola visits the doctor, but it’s more like the doctor is babysitting Nola. Aw, poor baby. (the doctor, that is)
[pic ->]
I pity Elon Pepper. He told me everything about his childhood knowing full well that it pained him. I wanted more info, but I figured that was enough for him. Maybe some day he'll share it with me or with a professional, but I think I got enough to evaluate Nola, who should be here any moment.
Analyzing everything up to tthis point, I had a hypothesis about her condition. I requested Elon to record a message.
"Record a message? Like record it with my voice?"
"Yes, Elon. I need you to tell me your honest feelings about Nola and then conclude by telling her how you feel, but here's the thing, you need to do two versions. One where you tell her your honest feelings, and one where you tell her what she wants to hear."
"Is this really necessary?"
"It's only for a hypothesis I have. I want to see what happens if her affections are met compared to the truth. Consider it an experiment. I'm also going to need you to record a few pre-recorded lines."
"I don't know what you are up to, but okay, I'll comply."
I got his recordings and I hope that my hypothesis proves right.
Oh, here she comes. I get up from my seat and welcome her.
"Welcome, Mrs. Uro."
"Just call me Nola."
"Oh, sure. Take a seat please, Nola." and she takes a seat on the sofa.
"You can lay on it if that makes you more comfortable.
"Okay," and she does so indeed.
"Now, Nola, I know you're scared, but please try to relax."
"mmmmm..."
"Are you okay?"
"Umm... yes. Yes, I am. Wow, I'm all better. Wow. It must be the atmosphere. I think I'll be fine now. Okay, thanks, good bye," she gets up but push her back down.
"No more running away, Nola. It's finally time to confront this."
"Ah! But I've been doing the therapy. Isn't that enough?"
"How is the therapy going, then?"
"MMMMMMMM" Is this a tick of hers? I have a feeling I'll be hearing this noise more often. She continues, "It's weird. I put my fingers everywhere around my... body parts. I don't like it. I wish Elon would help me. I'm sure we'd enjoy it together. I MEAN- I'm sure he'd enjoy it alone. NO, I MEANT- mmmmmmmmmmmm...."
I couldn't help but chuckle, "You really like Elon, right?"
"I do."
"Like a brother?"
"Yes..."
"Like a friend?"
"Yes."
"Like a BOYfriend?"
"HUH!? What? No!? What makes you think that?"
"It's obvious."
"No, it isn't. Just because he goes to the bathroom with me, and I allowed him to peek, and I want to hang around him a lot, and I fantasize about him while I'm in the shower doesn't mean I want him as my boyfriend! In fact, I don't think you- did he say anything about it yesterday?"
"Uhh... let's wait a bit more before we answer that. Now lay down, Nola. Did Elon told you what we talked about yesterday?"
"Yes."
"Well, it's time we got your side of the story."
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"
"Nola, please..."
"He told you everything, so I don't need to."
"But I could use more information. Come now, Nola. Won't you share?"
"There's nothing left. He told you everything."
"He didn't told me about middle school."
"There's nothing to say."
"I'm sure there is. This is around the time you hit puberty. I'm sure this is where your crush for him comes from."
"I don't have a crush on him. Why does everyone think I do?"
"Then why all the fuss? Why are you so over protective?"
"Mmmm.... I'm just being friendly."
"Friendly? Like, friends with benefits?"
"Maybe. I don't know what that means."
"Nola, are you attracted to Elon?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Really?"
"Why do you sound so suspicious. I'm telling you, I only like him like a friend."
"And what if I told you he confessed his love for you?"
"HE DID!? WHAT DID HE SAY! DID HE SAY HE LOVES ME AND WANTS TO KISS ME AND MARRY ME AND HAVE A THOUSAND CHILDREN WITH HIM AND MAKE HOT PASSIONATE LOVE EVERY NIGHT AS HE PLEASURES EVERY INCH OF MY BODY?"
"Umm... no."
"...."
*cough.*
"Then it's on him, I don't care."
"Okay, this intro has gone long enough. Time to tell me something about you when you were in middle school."
"MMMMMM... no..."
"Nola, stop being difficult."
"I'm not being difficult, you are. How about you become the patient and I become the doctor for a change. Then you'll know. Ask Elon, he knows all about how awful being a patient is when I played doctor with him."
Well we're off to a rough start. Better get on with it.
"How about a drink to relax yourself?"
"No. Mrs. Peeper keeps giving me this tea and it only makes me jumpy. I don't like it."
"Well, how about some orange soda?"
"Orange soda?"
