Tough Love 🐉( A Short Story)

Chapter 8

Mal didn't know why but there was this unfamiliar feeling inside of her. The love potion had been a huge success. Ben had broken up with Audrey and performed the most Ridiculous song she had ever heard and had asked her on a date afterward, her front-row seat to the coronation was secured so why did she feel guilty about spelling him.

It can't be-

Just a few moments ago she was telling Ben everything about her and he only asked once.

"Tell me something about yourself that you never told anyone before," Ben asked.

"My middle name is Bertha," Mal told him.

"Bertha!?"

I for one think Bertha is a wonderful name. It means bright one.

"Bertha.'"

"Just my mom doing what she does best. Being Really, Really, evil. So my name is Mal Bertha." (Underworld/wood) hehe

"Ben! Ben!" Mal called out, he had gone for a swim and hadn't resurfaced and she was worried- didn't want Auradon to think she had killed their future king.

Eventually, Mal decided to go into the water and search for Ben. She tried to swim to him but hit a deep spot almost submerging herself.

Like a f *glass drops* fool.

Ben submerged from the water carrying Mal in his arms.

WHAT! WHO DOES THIS BOY THINK HE IS AND WHY DOES HE HAVE MY MALI

BEASTIE FREAKING JR, NOW STAY IN YOUR BOOK!

"You scared me," Mal exclaimed as she finished coughing up what she had swallowed, whacking him on the arm.

"You...you can't swim," he asked, shocked.

No sh*t sherlock.

"No"

"But you live on an island"

"Yeah with a barrier around it, Remember!"

"And you still tried to save me," Ben said with a smile gracing his face.

Should have let him drown

Agreed.

"Yeah, and do you thank me? No! All I get is soaking wet!" Mal said frustrated with the whole situation.

Ben took out a fancy rock he was carrying. And, um, this fancy rock. It's yours just make a wish. And toss it back into the lake.

Mal took one look at ben then the rock and threw it back into the water without a second thought and walked away from ben

Lmao, that was embarrassing, awkward, and downright funny.

Ben quickly followed her hopping onto the platform grabbing his jacket. He draped it over Mal's shoulder and proceeded to dry off. He played with a strand of her hair and twirled it around his fingers while they both stared at each other.

"Mal, I told you I loved you. Do you love me?" Ben asked.

Mal was quiet for a moment turning away. "I don't know what love feels like".

*Rethinks sixteen years of raising mal* Wha?

Ben reached for Mal's chin and turned her face towards him. "Maybe I can teach you".

Well, beasties while I drag hades' unconscious body away from the crime scene the author would like to know how you feel about this book and if you're still alive. Wattpad is very dead today.
