Chereads / My Real Girlfriend / Chapter 13 - Our Mutual Understanding

Chapter 13 - Our Mutual Understanding

Divina is still crying inside her room, knowing that she made trouble for Alex and Ellie. She hoped everything was going okay, but she messed it up.

"Is this okay?" Teddy asked as he's outside of her room.

"W-What? Everyone was having fun but… Because of me… I messed it all up!"

"Are you talking about Eleanor?"

She breaks into tears when she heard his name. She knows that she pitted him in a predicament between them.

"What should I do? Alexandria knows now… That's why… I should just give up on him," Teddy's chest pains now that he knows that she's in love with his best friend. "I know that… I… I'm the worst, aren't I?" she said, and she endures to cry.

"What do you like about him?"

"W-What?" she suddenly asked. "He's kind. He thinks about his friends. But… he's a little awkward, though. He doesn't discriminate against anyone. He's the person I love the most in the world!" she proclaims.

It looks like he's hopeless over her. Even so, he thought of a way for Ellie to know Divina's feelings for her. There's one way that he thought to do.

"Can you open the door?" he asked to her. Divina gradually opens the door, and he sees her crying. She wipes away her tears, and she wears her eyeglasses. She smiles at him like nothing happened.

"Theodore… I-I… thank you! Because of you I…"

"Divina," he interrupts her.

"W-What is it?"

"Let's wish upon a star," he said, and he smiles at her.

While everyone having their own issues, Rejean and Riley were having fun at the living room. Rejean puts her hand close to him, but Riley repeatedly stops her for getting close. Ellie was back inside the camp house from the place where they had dinner.

"How did it go?" Rejean asks him.

"I went there, and I saw nothing,"

"Huh?"

"She wasn't there, damn it!" he yelled in annoyance.

"Run! She's in this area!" Riley said as he pushed his shoulder hard.

"Wait, Eleanor!" Teddy called him when he's going to leave the house.

"Sorry, Teddy. Can you wait until later?"

"This is something important," he said, and Divina comes down as well. Ellie didn't know what is going on, so he lends his ears to his best friend.

"Eleanor. I like you," he said as he confesses to him.

"HUH?!" Riley and Rejean shouted in harmony. They look strange because they are both guys. Divina suddenly shocked too about his confession.

"This is important, right? Are you saying about as a friend?" Ellie asked him earnestly.

"No. This is my feelings of love," they are all still staring at them like they are being weird. "You're nice to everyone. You always think about your friends. You're awkward, but you don't discriminate against everyone. You're the person I love the most in the world," he said to him. Divina realizes that she indirectly confessed, by Teddy said it to him. Her tears fell down as she finally confesses her feelings for him.

"I accepted your feelings. But… I have her. That's why… I'm sorry!" she being rejected indirectly by him. "And from here on out… This may be selfish but, can we still be friends?" he realizes it too that they are talking about Divina's genuine feelings.

"That was my intention, anyway. Hurry and go to where Alexandria is!" he said, and Ellie runs quickly outside the house to find her. The four of them are being left in the living room while Divina cries. She pats his shoulder as her sign of gratitude to him.

Alexandria was sitting at the side of the river while she's thinking about what happened to them. She's scared that Ellie might take away from her.

*beep*

Her phone is ringing, so she took it out of her pocket. It looks like Ellie is calling her, so she answers it.

"Where are you?!" he asked as he wheezes.

"Leave me alone! I'll go back soon," she retorted softly.

"Don't underestimate the ordinary forest in the night time! I'm afraid of being stranded! What are you going to do if a wild animal shows up? You're going to die!" he overreacts while he's looking for her everywhere. Alex thought of something that she would like to know from him.

"Ellie. Why are you dating me?" she asked.

"What? You asked me to date you!" he angrily said to her. Alex was being irritated to him, so she ends the call. Ellie didn't know why she hang up, so he called her again.

"Hey! What about you? I don't know why you are dating me! Well, it's because…" he mustered up all of his feelings to say these words: "it's because you're cute!!" he shouted while Alex is being stunned at what he said. It's the first time that he said those words to her after all this time.

"You look cute, but what you say isn't cute! You're going out with a dork like me without caring about all that stuff. You're even going out with me after meeting my annoying family too! I think you are definitely well-bred! You are little pushy, but I think it's fine! I… Thanks to you, I can do a lot more stuff now! Also… your laugh is pretty cute too! I said that too… Anyway! You… you are amazing! That's why…" tears fell down when she heard Ellie confessed to her. She's happy because she's being acknowledge by him even though they lived in different worlds. The call is being hung up.

"That's why…" Ellie appeared in front of her. "Why are you dating me? I don't get it at all," he saw her crying hard, and he comes closer to her. "Are you okay?" he asked. Alex nodded to him. He sits right next to her as he wants to talk.

"I'm sorry… I did something wrong, didn't I?" he asked. She nodded again as she disagrees. She wipes away her tears with using her sleeves in her jacket. She's looking at her as she wants him to say something.

"This… umm… This isn't an apology but…" he grabbed something from his pocket and he lends it to her. "This is a present!" Alex agitated from what she received.

���This is…" she cries tears of joy as she received a necklace that has Isabelle's magical wand on it. She looked at it happily as she holds it. "I got one… A magical fairy. I wanted to become a magical fairy too,"

"You used it… magic," he said to her.

"Ehh?"

"You used magic on me. So I fell in love with you," he finally said it those words to her! This is the first time that Ellie felt realistic magical romance.

He only sees that in the novels he reads, but he didn't expect that to happen in reality as well. He touched her shoulder as they come closer to each other. The two of them shared a kiss as they felt magical. They smiled to each other as they saw many fireflies are flying across the river. It such a wonderful scene for the two of them. Their relationship has now getting deeper than before.
