Chapter 2! Ready for this? Haha.
Simba and Kula sat at the mouth of the cave, waiting as the rest of the pride exited the den. Once the last lioness had left, Simba poked his head inside, making sure they would be alone. The coast was clear, he motioned Kula to follow him in. She nodded and walked inside with him. The two sat at the far corner of the den so no one could hear or see them. Simba turned to Kula, she laid on the ground with her head resting on her paws, slightly shifting her head to the side to avoid eye contact.
Simba sighed, lying down in front of her "Kula, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing Simba…" She mumbled, paws muffling her voice.
"It's about them huh?" Simba asked moving his head closer to her ear.
Kula shifted, lifting her head to face him, "How do you know?"
Simba ignored her, "You like him huh?"
Kula blushed, "I…I do not…"
Simba smiled. "It's okay… I have feelings for Nala."
"Y-you do?" She asked, her blushing cheeks returning to their original color.
Simba nodded, "I just don't know how to tell her… and if I did, what if she doesn't feel the same way. I would risk losing our friendship." He admitted looking away from her.
"Yeah I know how you feel…" She smiled.
"So you do have feelings for Chumvi?" he smiled back.
"Yesss…" She sighed.
"She's been spending a lot of time with him." Simba said staring at the cave floor. Suddenly, he sprung his head up in realization.
"You don't think they… like each other do you?" Simba's eyes widened as he waited patiently for Kula's answer.
"I… Oh, what are we going to do?" Kula paced around the room. They had to think of something
The room filled with silence as she stopped pacing and the two thought for a moment. Finally Kula spoke, "So… what do we do?" She asked nudging his shoulder with her head. Simba thought hard for a second. Tightening his eyes shut, struggling for an answer. Suddenly, He jerked his head up and smiled widely at Kula. She tilted her head in confusion, "What?"
Simba leaned in and whispered something in her ear. Kula's eyes widened in surprise and her cheeks grew red as she continued to listen to him. Simba brought his head back and smiled at her.
"Well? What do you think? It's worth a shot."
Kula stared at him, still in shock at what her just suggested. She came closer, placing the back of her paw against his forehead as if checking if he had a fever.
"Simba-" Kula began.
"I'm not crazy." He interrupted pushing away her paw from his face.
"Give it a chance Kula." Simba pleaded.
She thought for a moment. She guessed it could work. And besides, it'd be interesting to see how they'd react. Kula sighed and thought for a moment, before finally turning her head back to him. "Alright Simba… we can try, but how do you even know this will work?"
"It's either this or living with the fact that we could have done something but didn't. And besides I know them pretty well. This won't go unnoticed." He grinned
Kula smiled at him warmly, "Okay, let's go…sweetie." She giggled.
Alright that's chapter 2! Please review and let me know what you think.
