Birds of the same feathers… coincidentally they logged in to the game at the same time.
Nancy, upon seeing Zack was also online, she thought, they must have some emotional connection. They agreed to play at nine but it’s just eight o’clock and both of them are online and ready to play.
Zack, “Babe, have you had your dinner?”
Nancy looked at the message and smiled.
Nancy, “Yes, what about you?”
Zack, “I just had a small bite. Something cropped-up, lost my appetite.”
Nancy was worried that it was because of the encounter with her dad. She frowned and thought, “It’s over, the old man has ruined my happiness!”
Nancy carefully typed a few words, “What’s the matter? Is it because of some crazy fool?”
Zack couldn’t help but smile when he saw the words “Crazy fool”.
What’s on her mind all day long? He was simply referring to his precious parents and that brother of his.
Zack, “No, let’s play. Let’s win tonight!”
Nancy looked at the word “No” and sighed a breath of relief. To repay his kindness in sending her home, she’ll have to help him win a game.
Nancy, “No problem. There’ll be no screw ups today! We’ll own this game!”
As soon as she said this, she pulled Zack into the two-person mode, and instantly Zack’s voice came over the headset, “Babe.”
With this one word, her heart raced. If only she can hear him calling her “Sweetheart”, her heart will melt! It’s so romantic just dreaming about it.
“Babe, what are you waiting for? Let’s start!”
Zack’s words snapped her back to reality. She quickly slapped herself awake.
“Oh, the network was laggy. I’ll start immediately, hee hee,” She said while blushing.
Zack heard those little commotions from her and joked, “How come I’m hearing sounds of slapping? What are you doing, babe?”
Nancy certainly can’t be telling Zack that she was slapping herself awake from her daze. She laughed, “No, nothing. There were some bugs.” Well, it certainly was a huge good-for-nothing bug!
Zack laughed quietly, amused by her antics.
Nancy thought how nice would it be to be able to hear his laughter every day from now on.
But it dawned upon her that Zack might not even know that she’s behind this game ID. She can’t help but feel a little sad when she pictured him saying these to other girls.
With Zack standing beside her in the game, she sighed again. Upon hearing this, Zack asked, “What’s wrong, babe, why are you sighing? Don’t be stressed, it’s just a game. We don’t have to win.”
Yes, it’s just a game. In the real world, she doesn’t even dare to look directly at him, not to mention talking to him. If only she is as self-confident in life as she is in the game.
Nancy sighed again and without thinking said, “What kind of girl do you like?”
She covered her mouth in shock! Why did she say those words? It must be obvious now to him that she is attracted to him, oh crap. She slumped onto the keyboard.
“Someone just like you.”
