A Unique Crossover

Chapter104: An Aussie day

"Hi," He greeted as I took one pod out while pausing the music. Not wanting to speak to him, not wanting to be near him. I gave him a small smile in return, "How's practice, you're enjoying yourself?"

If you want to talk to me about anything else, rather than tell me why you reacted so terribly to my confession of love to you. Then leave me alone!

Those words sizzled on my tongue, wanting to hurt him just as much as he hurt me. But my stupid heart wouldn't let me, no matter how angry I was at him.

So I gave him a tight smile, turning my attention back to my screen. I was hoping he would get the hint and leave. The silence that followed almost made me believe that he did until, "I'm sorry, Anela."

My head snapped to the side, pausing whatever was playing. Staring at him in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Nervously rubbing the back of his neck before saying, "About yesterday, how things ended, I -"

His Adam's apple bobbed anxiously as he tried to find the right words. Then he looked at me with these desperate eyes, "David,"

"I shouldn't have fought with Tenzin after the game." Wait, what?!

My jaw dropped in my lap as David continued to confess, "The way you two have been with each other brought a lot of jealousy. Because you're not so friendly with the other teams. And when he picked you up and made you laugh, then there was the fake dating thing, and - I became something that I wasn't proud of."

I never thought that I would see the day when David admits him being jealous of any of my guy friends. But maybe because he had some kind of trust in them, knowing that nothing would happen between us. Yet when he found out that Tenzin and I are friends and used to fake date each other, maybe he had doubts.

Maybe he felt like he might use me to Tarzan or that there were some hidden feelings deep down. There aren't.

For the first time since last night, I gave David a genre, genuine smile. Lightly squeezing his hand before saying, "I get it, and it's ok. If I were in your shoes and saw you with someone like that, then I would also get jealous."

A small smile grew on his face, and relief washed over him, "So, all is forgiven?"

Nodding my head, about to say something, "Maybe we should forget about it."

"Forget about what?"

"Yesterday." David was smiling at me coyly with bright eyes, as if his words hadn't just shot a bullet into my heart. "Everything about yesterday should be forgotten. It was just a crazy day with uncontrollable emotions."

I think my brain turned off or something because no thoughts were coming through. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

His words were like a giant punch into my chest, knocking the air right out. And he seemed not to even comprehend the impact that they had on me.

Does he even remember what I've confessed to him? Or did he just decide to forget, like he suggested? And he thought of it as I was overwhelmed with strong emotions, not knowing what I was saying or thinking.

Instantly, my shocked expression vanished as I pulled my hand away, "Sure, why not, David?!"

My response shocked him as his eyes widened as I stood, "Why not forget the entire day?! I mean, what's a day even?! Nothing important to anyone and shouldn't be a burden. Hell, why not forget the entire year?!"

"You're not mad, right?" He asked nervously. He should be nervous, even afraid of me right now. Because I'm seconds away from causing him great pain, but have decided to be the bigger person.
