Concealed Love

Chapter-60 " I like my girl to be a bit sassy"

They were teasing Ella and Al and the two just smiled and chat along, Jace returned with Iri, her hands on his arms and walking around openly. The party was a private one with no media so the people were free to show off and act however they wanted.

Seeing them Simon cursed under his breath, " Damn couples. " Then before long Minerva also came and joined them, she had finished greeting the guest so she came and sat with them, she sat down naturally next to Dane and the ice they had around them in the past was no more seen.

Anyone who had even an eyecould see that they were on good terms with each other and had certainly hot closer.

Rixe, who had got his heart broken even before he could talk about it didn't talk much for the whole night, he just sat there looking at Ella in awe with everything she does and even more than before when he first saw her, as now he also saw how pure and nice her attitude and character was.

Simon noticed it and silently patted him in the back cheering him up. He was too down that he didn't search for any more girl for the whole day and went home not even joining them for the after party which was going to be with only the closest friends.

In the after party, they went back to Minerva's house and played games, the were playing truth or dare and the loser had to drink drinks or do a dare the others choose.

The people there had plenty of each of their own secrets so they didn't dare choose truth, so most of them chose dare. At the end of the game Al was a bit tipsy.

He drank all the drinks for Ella, she told him that he doesn't need to but when he saw that the other guys were helping out their partners he also wanted to do it for her.

Unfortunately both he and Ella had lost a lot so he ended up drinking lots. After the game the others decided to go and play other games but because he was feeling a bit tipsy Ella asked them to let her and Al sit out.

They agreed giving them some private time, while they go and play by the pool side in the courtyard.

Al and Ella also went out to sit in the courtyard not too far from the others. Al leaned his head on Ella's shoulder and slept peacefully.

He mumbled, " Don't you wanna go going them? I can stay alone. "

Ella chuckled, " Nope I have to babysit the big boy who just wouldn't do as I say. "

Al pouted, " What's wrong with me wanting to act good in front of others for my love. "

Ella laughed taking his hands and said, " Nothing, I just don't want to see you feeling bad because of me and moreover I don't wanna fall any harder than I already have. "

Al chuckled, " You should. " Ella pretended to think of it for a while than said, " Hmm, I already did. "

She laughed and he smiled, nuzzling his head between her neck and shoulder. He complained, " By the way earlier why did you smile? "

Ella didn't know what he was talking about so she asked, " When? I smiled a lot today. "

" That earlier, when I was not there, you were talking to some man and smiling at them. " Al said resting comfortably on her.

Ella thought about it seriously and thought that the only time when she was not with Al was the time when she entered the place. She smiled, " Oh that? I was going to walk away and searched for you because I didn't want to talk to those people but Iri said to stay, and she said something so I smiled, I was not smiling at the boys. "

Al satisfied with the answer said, " Is that so? But what did she say to make you smile? "

Ella leaned her head sideways on his looking at the others play and teased Al with a smile, " Do you wanna know? "

Al answered, " Of course, I wanna know what tactic to use to make you smile. "

Ella chuckled, " She said that you were walking towards me and told me to smile to make you jealous. I thought it was childish so I unconsciously smiled but was it successful? "

Al sighed, " Damn yeah, you don't know how jealous I was of those guys. You looked so beautiful and dazzling, I was angry that those bastards even got to see you. You are mine and only mine to love, how dare they try to covet you. "

Ella laughed, " Well, I also saw how those girls were looking at you trying to get your attention, you were much more handsome and popular than me. "

Al click his tongue, " Those woman only want my money and face. I don't need such woman, I only want you. "

Ella acted sorrowful and said, " Really? Earlier Iri told me that if I don't dress up nicely to impress you than you might be seduced by some beautiful woman and get bored of me so I was so worried. "

Al raised his head up looking straight at her and said, " Don't listen to those words, you will always be the only one I ever love. And you don't need to dress that beautiful when you go out, I don't like it when other guys look at you with such hungry eyes. "

Ella acted sorrowful and asked, " Really? " And Al nodded his head, " Really, really! How can I look at someone else when the best woman in the world is right in front of me telling me she loves me. I would be a fool if I miss such a good opportunity and even if I turn into a fool it would only be for you. "

He smiled and kissed her eyes softly, she giggled as his kiss gave her sparkles, " Well aren't you one sweet talker. "

Al hold her face with both his hands looking at her and said, " I guess I am, you don't like it? "

Ella smiled helplessly looking at the confidant boy asking questions even though he already knows the answer, " Yes I don't like it, I loovvee it. "

He couldn't help it anymore, pulling her to his chest, he hugged her tight and caressed her back lovingly, " I really am such a lucky guy. "

She also smiled, enjoying his touch and embrace, " And I am a lucky girl. " She wrapped her arms around him and rested peacefully on his chest.

The others saw them enjoying their time and said, " Well, don't they look peaceful and cozy. " Simon smirked.

Minerva smiled looking at them adoringly, " They are such a good couple, don't you agree? " She turned to Dane.

Dane nodded his head, " I guess she is the perfect candidate to be his lover, he seems to have changed into a better man. "

Iri laughed, " Ella too, she has been spending her days in utter bliss these days, I'm so happy for them. "

" He has turned into such a tamed man, when his parents ever planned a secret meeting for us before he looked like he was about to kill someone. Can't believe Ella tamed him so well. " Minerva commented.

Jace sighed in his heart thinking to himself, ' Well it works both way, this people don't know how scary and savage she was before. Beside Al hasn't been tamed, he only acts like that in front of her. '

Their drink was finished so Dane volunteered to go take it for them and Jace offered to go with him.

As soon as they left Iri asked Minerva excitedly, " So? How is it going with Dane? How are you guys doing? "

Simon also smirked with interest and asked, " Yes, tell us, I am interested about that too. How come you guys suddenly got so close? "

Minerva at first tried to shrug it off but with their undefeated curious eyes she gave in and said, " We're going fine I guess. But don't be mistaken, we are not dating, he just asked to be closer friends and I agreed, you know in high school we never talked by ourselves when the other guys were not there. Even now we never talked privately unless work is involved, but now you guys are all dating and rarely free so we kinda hang out together sometimes when we're free. "

She said it halfheartedly as she could not bring herself to narrate the whole story, she was too shy to reveal them.

Simon sighed, " Wah, our friends are all hooking up one by one leaving me out, I'm so lonely. "

Minerva scoffed at him, " Don't act pitiful with me young man, I heard that you were flirting with the lady of the Brook family the last time she came to the industry for a collaboration. It was a hot topic around the office for the whole week. What was her name again, ah, Cynthia was it? "

Simon smiled sheepishly as he was caught and complained, " Yes, ugh, our workers are too gossipy but you know the rumours, she only wants Aldri, she is determined and had set her eyes on him. "

Iri was shocked by the news and asked, " Really? Who is she? "

" Her father is a businessman and one of the shareholders in our company and she is a singer, but not that popular. " Simon explains.

Iri made an understanding face and asked, " So is she still going after Aldri? Or does she know that he is already taken? "

Simon brushed his nose awkwardly and said, " The answer to both that question is yes, she knows that he already have a lover, everyone in our company or who is close with our company had known by now with how open they act but the sad part is that the lady had not given up on him yet even after all that. "

Minerva asked, " How do you know? "

Simon was a bit reluctant to answer but be had no choice but to do so, " Last time I talked to her, Ahem... She said that she already had someone she wants and when I asked her who and she said it was Aldri. I told her about his relationship but she said that she still have a chance as long as he's not married. She is a bit of a spoiled child you see so she is quite stubborn and confident in those ways. "

Iri clicked her tongue, " The next time you see that b***h, tell her to back off or I'll be the to break that damned confidence of her's. "

Both of the people beside her turned to look at her in surprise, never, they had never heard Iri curse let alone call people names. It just showed how little she like about the ways of that women. She added, " I haven't met her but I already hate her. "

Jace came back and hearing the end parts of her words she asked, " Who? Did anyone do something do you? "

Iri took a bottle and pouring it into the glass she said, " No, she hasn't done it yet. "

Simon laughed, " Never knew you could curse as well Irene, I always thought of you as a docile one but you just changed my mind. Do you know of it Jace? "

Iri shrugged him off and Jace said truthfully, " I do, and I am often reminded of it when I make a mistake. "

Iri turned and glared at her and he smiled, " But I like my woman to be a bit sassy so it's okay. "

Iri turned away acting ignorant and the others laughed. After some time they went back in and rejoined with Ella and Al, he had already sobered up by that time and they broke up the group only in the morning and went back to their own places.
