"You… ", Theo was the first one to break the awkward silence filled between them. The thing he got to know just now, left him in complete disbelief.
"You… You are Mr.W?" Lucy asked in likewise amazement and disbelief. She was also not able to comprehend and completely process this new set of data.
Her question confirmed his doubts. Theo was now sure that the information he got just now was 100% correct. 'F**k! How can there be such a coincidence? She really is Mrs W'.
He nodded, responding to Lucy. But, he didn't dare to believe this at all.
Looking at the sudden development, the other three people in the group were confused. They didn't know what was happening until Jacob finally grasped the hint, after thinking for a while.
"Whoa… this is surely a plot from the novels that brother Alexander reads." He stepped forward and suddenly slapped Theo on the back of his head.
"Slap"
The sound, as well as the impact, was enough to make the weak Theo faint. But, surprisingly he didn't faint, it's due to his current state of excitement and instead he just screamed out, "Ouch…"
Others standing nearby, all giggled "pfft".
Theo turned around and glared at Jacob while holding his head in pain. It was really something to take a slap from Jacob.
"Brother, why did you hit me?", He growled, still looking vigilantly towards Jacob to prevent his poor head from being smashed like a beach watermelon.
"So, it's really true… I thought I was dreaming and just wanted to check." Jacob replied to him without any concern.
"You… you could have just kicked yourself or brother Elliott. But why me?" He really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at the current situation, he was in.
"But, that won't be any fun. I also checked if you are an illusion or not, just now. See, I did a multitasking job." Jacob shrugged and turned towards Elliott and Emmy.
The 'E' couple were staring at him since beginning, with a questioning gaze. They didn't have any idea what just happened in front of them.
"It's like this, You can say that from today we have another couple between us. Introducing to you, Mr and Mrs W, the in-game couple." Jacob introduced the two gamers and their relationship to everyone.
"Holy Sheit!" Elliott and Emmy were perfectly matched, as their voice left their throats in perfect coordination and symphony.
Obviously, these two also knew the in-game identity of their friends and thus, quickly grasped the situation after listening to the name, Mr and Mrs W.
"Congratulations on finding your true love." Three of them quickly congratulated the new couple, making them shyer.
Lucy was always a simple and less talkative girl. She might not have even thought about really meeting the guy she loved, through a game. She suddenly became shy and weak, just like a lamb.
She was blushing hard, and a sweet smile was maintained on her face, but her head was dropping down. "I…I…", she wanted to say something but was not able to.
A sudden flame burnt in Theo's eyes giving him extraordinary courage. He stepped forward in front of Lucy and said, "Hey, don't make my wife nervous. Step aside."
Jacob looked at the sudden courage of Theo and smiled, "Love can really change everything."
The trio also understood the shyness of Lucy and stepped aside, giving some space to the new couple.
"Are you ok?" Theo didn't dare to slack off after taking an initiative and showed his great care for her. He really can't lose this chance to get a cute and lovely girlfriend.
"Hmm" Lucy nodded, but then suddenly she asked, "Do you love me?"
"Yes", he answered without wasting any time. He really loves Mrs W. Through gaming with her for years, he knew her character enough, even if they never had a heart to heart talk.
Lucy smiled, and leapt forward, rejecting her shy and simple behaviour she maintained since years, she shamelessly hugged him tightly.
'Loves brings out your true self.'
