Chapter 177 A Little Something
Chapter 177 A Little Something
-----
Elena held Anna's hand, as the two girls ended getting back to Elena's room. In there, Elena quickly covered herself in the blankets and invited Anna inside. Her friend felt slightly flustered about doing this, but the adorable Elena inviting her by patting the bed was way too cute to reject her invitation. She sat down timidly and then covered herself in the blankets. Once resting her head over the cushion, she quickly realized it wasn't that embarrassing… until she felt Elena's legs caressing her own, and then Elena's face all close to her, resting near her shoulder.
Anna was trying her best to contain herself, more so because she was incredibly embarrassed. Despite her talkative nature, she was actually quite the shy girl. When put into this situation, she couldn't help but feel incredibly flustered herself.
"Ellie…" She said. "Ellie" was a nickname of Elena that she sometimes called her as.
"Hm?" Elena wondered timidly.
"I-It is a bit obvious now but… D-Do you like me?" Wondered Anna.
"Ah." Elena muttered, quickly feeling completely frozen in time.
"E-Elena?!" Asked Anna.
"…"
"I-I was asking because I like you… I really… I… I like you." Said Anna.
"Guh…" Elena muttered, she was too embarrassed to talk, covering her face with her hands while her lips were trembling.
"Ah… Sorry for saying this out of nowhere… I just… I knew this might affect our friendship but…" Said Anna.
"…I like you too." Elena said.
In that moment, Anna felt like she skipped a heartbeat, the same way Elena did when Anna just confessed her feelings to her, in her bed to boot.
"Y-You do? The ugly me?" Asked Anna in disbelief.
"You're not ugly…" Elena said. "You're pretty…"
"P-Pretty…?" Anna asked, feeling more flustered.
"I like your red hair." Said Elena. "Your freckles are very cute too…"
"Ah… Uwawawahhh…" Anna suddenly fell over the bed, completely flustered.
At the end, both girls ended in completely silence.
"I-It is okay if we slowly get into this? I… don't want to rush it." Elena sighed. "But… I'm glad you like me too… It made me feel very happy… to be loved." Elena mustered the words.
"I-I… Of course…" Anna said. "Let's take it easy." She smiled honestly.
Elena slowly approached her face to hers, as the two girl's eyes met.
Their blood was boiling and flowing through their bodies as their hearts began beating so fast they thought they were about to have a stroke.
It was the fluttering feelings of nervousness and love emerging within their hearts.
The possibility of something beyond just friendship emerged.
Both loved one another.
What was there to do than to move forward towards the next stage?
Mooch.
A little kiss.
Elena kissed Anna's lips faintly.
It was very quick, but it felt like an eternity when they kissed.
"G-Goodnight…" Elena said, quickly giving Anna her back, as she rested to the other side of the bed.
Anna was left so shocked she felt like she turned into a stone statue.
"Uwaahh…"
And like that, without Elayne even knowing, her daughter began a romantic relationship with her best friend… or maybe the beginning of one.

Ugh…
I feel so heavy.
What's going on?
When I woke up, I felt like I had a bit of fever, and my body felt weakly as well.
I was all dizzy, and I couldn't properly get up without feeling like I was about to fall from bed.
I barely managed to get in my bathroom to do the daily routine, barely.
When I looked into my mirror, I was rather red, and tired looking.
Did I catch a cold and I'm getting fever? But I am sure I keep a healthy lifestyle…
"Ugh, and today I need to go to the gym again. Can I even go in this state?"
After thinking about it, I went back to bed, I didn't even felt hungry.
This is bad… if this continues I think I might have caught a strong cold with fever.
Been ages since I got this sick…
"Ugh… Elena? Elena!"
I called for Elena but she didn't respond, she was probably sleeping soundly.
I sent her a message to her phone and then decided to sleep for a bit.

"Mom? Mom!"
When I woke up, I found my daughter in front of me.
"Ah, dear, you came… I think I caught a cold; I am a bit feverish… I don't feel hungry either. Sorry, can you make yourself breakfast and lunch?" I asked.
"S-Sure… Do you need something? Ah… What do you do when I get this sick? Ah, remedies!" Said my daughter. "Wait, what other symptoms you got?"
"Hmm… I don't know. I think I just need to rest for a bit." I sighed.
"Ah, here. This is for headaches, right? And this one is for fevers…" My daughter put two pills over the night table as I consumed them with some water.
"You really don't feel hungry?" Wondered my daughter.
"No… But can you make me some herbal tea, dear?" I asked.
"S-Sure… I think maybe I could… make some chicken soup." She said.
"But you've never cooked, don't do anything like that… You might end up having an accident!" I cried.
"What? No way I'm doing something like that…" She said. "I hope… W-Well, maybe we can call a friend of yours as well. Auntie Rita?"
"Rita's busy in the gym… I don't want to bother her- Ah, maybe you could call Mark? He said he can cook something." I said.
"M-Mark? That guy?!" Asked Elena.
"That "guy"? He's my friend, Elena…" I sighed. "I'll call him… Don't worry about anything for now…"
"N-No, wait, mom! I also want to help you out…" My daughter pouted.
"Elena, then let's make the herbal tea she asked for." Sighed Anna behind her, petting her head.
"Okay…" Elena said, walking outside of my room.
Ugh, I feel so weird…
I quickly tipped something and sent it to Mark.

[Elayne: Mark, I feel so bad today… I need someone to come help me, can you come pretty please?]
[Mark: Huh? really? Are you feverish or something? Maybe I should bring you to a medic… Alright, I'll get there, wait for me.]
[Elayne: Thank you…]
