Chapter 3
(Remember I start with what is happening in present time with Tigress)
"Hey Po" Tigress said, her voice was normal, soft but at the same time it was firm. Her voice was completely the opposite of what she was feeling right now, inside, she was completely freaking out, she couldn't even believe that she had, well, has the guts to tell him how she really feels.
Flashback, (to the noodle shop)…
Tigress was thinking how did the little bunny knew there was something between them, people say that kids are wiser because they can see more things. But was love one of them? She didn't know, but that didn't stopped her from believing that there was something between Po and her.
With Po…
He was in the kitchen, cooking for him and Tigress. His dad was smiling at him, since every couple of minutes, he would glance at Tigress and a small grin for on his lips.
"Son, you should tell her" Mr. Ping said, as he was chopping some vegetables for his soup. Po stopped stirring the noodles.
"Dad, I'm trying to move on, I don't think she likes me" He replied, his tone serious and sad.
"Don't you think that if she didn't like you she wouldn't have come here with you? Besides, she is THE master Tigress, so coming with you, that is saying something, tell me, when have you seen her come here with someone else?" Mr. Ping said, leaving his son thinking about when has she came to the village with company.
"Never" He muttered.
"But that doesn't mean she likes me" He said.
"You are being blind son, and stubborn, almost as your girlfriend" Mr. Ping answered.
"DAD!"
Mr. Ping laughed and gave him two bowls of soup, and kicked him out of the kitchen, motioning to go sit with Tigress, who was seating by herself, the sun rays hitting on her fur, making it seem shiny, and she was looking at the sky, as if she were reading a book.
"Hey, I'm back" Po said, setting the bowls of soup on the table, and then taking a seat across from her. She smiled.
"So what were you and your dad talking about?" She asked, trying to get the conversation going, while she started eating the noodles, she had to admit, they were really good, but she preferred Po's noodles recipe, maybe because it was made by him.
When she asked, Po immediately tensed up, fearing that she had heard some of their conversation.
"Did you listened to any of it?" He asked her. Tigress was taken back and shook her head, which was a huge relief for Po.
"OH, well then, we basically talked about…noodles!" He said, confident that Tigress was going to believe him, which she didn't she just stopped eating and crossed her arms, her eyes telling Po that she knew he was making it up.
"Po, I know you are lying" She said, amused that he actually thought he could fool her. Po frowned, and started to make-up another excuse, or maybe something that could relate to what they were actually talking about, so technically he would be telling the truth just not all of it.
"Fine, we were talking about… um… girls" He said, having a smug face. Tigress's heart stopped when she heard that,
He was talking about other girls? So he doesn't like me? And what girl was he talking about?
She cleared her throat, trying to hide some of her jealousy, and maintain her emotionless, or at least her normal-be-around-Po-self.
"Oh really, so who were you guys talking about, or what was your conversation about?" She asked, and continued eating, as if it were no big deal to her, even though on the inside, she was dying for answers.
"Well, you know, the usual, and we were talking about a girl…. Whose name is… Song! Yeah, we were talking about her!" He said, proud that he could think really quickly.
Tigress's heart stopped again,
Song!? That thief!
"Hold on, what's the usual?" She asked again, Po's eyes widen, knowing that Tigress was going to know that he was lying and she was going to be mad at him.
"You know I'm lying, don't you?" He finally admitted. Tigress smirk, she was actually starting to believe him, but Oh god, what a relief it was to her that he wasn't thinking about other girls, at least not Song.
"Yes, I do. I guess if it's too private for you to tell, I can't force you to tell me. At least I know is not about girls" She said and smiled, but when she realized that she said the last part out loud, she darted her eyes to Po, who was staring at her with a happy grin,
"Umm, I didn't mean that, I mean I did, but I, you see, You and" She was shifting uneasily, avoiding eye contact with the panda, she could feel her cheeks get really warm, so warm that not even her orange fur could hide it anymore. Po was still staring at her, feeling the butterflies fill his stomach, he loved seeing Tigress like this, this was really unusual for her, she was never not sure of what she was going to say or do. And she never stuttered like she was now. He found it extremely cute that she was getting really shy and nervous, her face was red and her paws were getting a little bit sweaty, but he loved it, it just added to the long list of why he loved her.
"I'm going to work out" She finally said, in her usual, confident voice. She stood up, and started exiting the shop, heading towards the training hall.
UGH! I just made a huge fool out of myself, and basically told him that I like him…. For the SECOND time today! This day couldn't get any worse.
She then tripped and to make it worse, she fell on a puddle,
Seriously, there's only one puddle in the whole village, and I fall on it!? It didn't even rain!
She kept stomping until she got to her bedroom, where she laid down, and changed clothes, since the one she was currently wearing were all wet.
Once she changed, she started to mediate.
I'm just making this complicated, for me and for him, for both of us. The more I love him the more I make a fool out of myself, I am sure this is not healthy. I should just tell him that I love him. I mean, I acted jealous just at the thought that he was thinking about other girls, who were not me! I will tell him, tomorrow. Then all this nonsense will stop.
She sighed, and started drifting into sleep, but it was hard to do, because her teeth were chattering against each other, her stomach was knots, and besides that, she was extremely cold, but she was sweating, all because she was going to tell Po what she felt like. When she thought that, she chuckled to herself.
I bet that if I had told my past-self that I will fall in love, and be like this, I wouldn't have believed myself. And when I used to see how some girls were flirting with boys, and all jealous and all nervous to talk to them, and I used to think to myself 'Is so simple, is just 3 words, I love you'. Well, I guess is not when is you experiencing that.
Hey! Well, I hope you like this, next chapter is going to start with Po. And I hope you liked the last part, I enjoyed writing what Tigress was thinking, (not only because I'm a huge fan of her) because I could put also what I felt like when I had this crush. (I'm not going to tell you about my love life if you are thinking I will, mostly because is a total mess and I don't have one besides crushes.).
And thanks to those who favorite/followed my story!
Anyway, I hope you liked it and review! I will update soon!
-Peace out :)
