Uglydolls | Lou x Mandy | Love Story

Chapter 8

Lou's POV:

Aarrgghh! This is so frustrating! I am Louis but they call me Lou for short and I am the most perfect doll in this institute of perfection. Or so everyone thought. I am also adored by almost everyone and I can perform on stage by singing and dancing without even breaking a sweat. And yet, I am too scared to confess my feelings to the one and only doll that I love. If I can perform in front of many dolls then why am I too afraid to confess my feelings to a single doll? I don't get it. I mean...what's the difference? Oh, I know what. Sure, I'm adored by every pretty doll but I'm used to their praise and they always told me how amazing I was. But with Mandy? Whenever she says something good to me, it always feels genuine. Sure, Ox and Moxy were there to comfort me and all but it was rather platonic.

Like it's just a friend thing. And whenever there was a doll who needed my help, it always felt like a duty to me but when it came to Mandy, it was always personal. I'm not just doing it because I'm a leader but because I also want to. She always made me feel loved and I feel like I am wanted. In a way that no one else can. So in short, she showed me the love that I never had and she showed me that I don't need a kid to love me. That's why I am in love with her and that's why I couldn't confess that easily. Because I don't want these things to go away. But in all honesty, I don't know why I love her. I mean sure, I already have my reasons but it's more like thinking of a reason to love her. And if I'm being more honest, I rather have no reason to love her than to love her with a reason. Because if that reason is gone then so is my love for her.

"Arrrrrgghhh! That's it! I'm confessing now!"

I stormed out of my mansion and went to Mandy's house. When I got there, I knocked on the door and after a few seconds, Mandy opened it.

"Hi Lou," she said with a smile.

There's that pretty smile again

"H-hey, Mandy..." I stuttered.

Great...not even 2 seconds and I'm already losing my confidence.

"What can I do for you?" she asked.

Love me...

"O-oh, I-i was just wondering if you want to hang out with me?" I asked, nervously.

"Sure, I'm not doing anything today anyway," she said then she closed the door behind her.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

Shoot, I was in a hurry that I didn't have time to think of an excuse

"Uh, how bout we take a walk?" I asked.

"Sure," she said.

We walked around until we reached the training area. Mandy and I always hang out together, and every time we did, we always have a topic to talk about. But today was awkward and I'm not sure why. Is it because I was planning to confess? We were silent for the whole walk and it was killing me. We are close and yet, it felt like she was distant towards me. I glance at her and she was looking somewhere else. I can't take it anymore.

"Hey Mandy, look," I said as I pointed at the training area.

She looked puzzled.

"Remember when you used to train here?" I started.

"Yeah?" she said, still a bit confused.

"Well, you were amazing back then and I'm not gonna lie, I was really impressed that day," I said, smiling while remembering that day.

"O-oh, thank you" she smiled.

I looked at her.

"I know it's random for me to talk about this but I thought you should know. Especially when we never talked about this in our previous encounters" I said.
