Concealed Love

Chapter- 58 " Jealous lover"

Jace ran around searching for Iri for more than 10 minutes. He ran after anyone that give off even a slight resemblance to her. Finally after he had searched everywhere on the inside he decided to look outside the area but before he left he saw her in front of the entrance talking to the workers who took their entrance lists.

Iri was standing with a small boy next to her holding her hands, she was telling the workers there, how and where she found him. She was having a hard time talking as she was trying to hide her face with a thin scarf and that made the people more suspicious and asked more questions to her as she answered the patiently.

At the moment she heard her name from a distance, she turned around to the familiar voice and saw a man dashing to her side. It was Jace and before she could fully see him and ask him why he was there he was already by her side hugging her. His heartbeat was beating wildly and he was panting heavily.

Not letting go of her he asked, " Where, where did you go without telling us?"

Iri was worried at first thinking whether something bad had happened for him to act like that but realising that he was just afraid because she was missing she calmed down, telling him as well, " Calm down Jace, I just came here to drop off a lost child. "

Jace was still flustered, " Why didn't you tell me, do you know how worried I was?"

Their behavior was starting to attract others attention as well as the workers she was talking to, they looked at them suspiciously.

Iri set herself free from his embrace and turned back saying, " I am sorry please continue " to those workers she was giving information to.

They all looked at her and widened their eyes, " Iriene! ... It's Irene. " They were all trained workers so they stopped themselves from screaming out as sometimes some celebrities visit the place and if they leave a bad review because of the mistake from the workers they will be the one's affect by it.

Iri realised that the scarf she was covering her face had fell from her face when Jace ran up to her. She quickly put it back up to avoid attracting the attention of more people. She asked the workers to please not say out her name through her expression and they understandingly agreed.

Jace let go of her and stood by the side still with a frown, he didn't want to cause a fuss and make problems for her so he stood quiet. The child's parents came to get him, they were running around worried searching for their kid.

When the worker said that their child was found by they women, they thanked Iri repeatedly and the child also smiled at her saying thanks and waving his hands saying, " Bye, bye pretty sister. "

Irene smile and waved back at him than she turned to Jace to go back with him, " Let's go back, we're done here. "

Jace walked behind her and when they had gotta bit further from the other people he said, " Tell me next time you are gonna go somewhere when something like this happens. "

Iri just nodded, " Okay, I am sorry for bothering you."

Jace frowned, " I'm not bothered, I just worry about you Iri. "

Iri bit her lips and stoped walking, they were in a road with rows of mixed colour roses taller than them on both sides, she turned to him and said, " Well I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to disturb you when you were finally having some free time talking and making friends without a trouble maker like me around to worry about. "

Jace stared at her for some time then chuckled. Iri got more angry when he did and glared at him, " Are even my words meaningless do you now? Do you enjoy making a fool out of me? " She bit the inside of her lower lip to lower down her voice and frustration.

Jace walked up to her slowly and took her hand on his, he leaned down, bumped their head softly and sighed, " Iam sorry, I am sorry for making you feel insecure, I am sorry for leaving you by yourself, I am sorry for my incompetence and I am sorry for my inconsideration and making you jealous. "

Iri blushed but she was still mad, " Who said I was jealous, Iam not jealous, and you don't need to apologise. "

" I love you, in the beginning I may have had bad intentions but now I really love you and I promise I'll always love you. You're the only one for me. " Jace nuzzle his head softly on her's.

Iri was still putting up a tough front, pouting, " You don't seem to feel that love very much when those girls were clinging to you before. "

Jace secretly smiled thinking, ' so much for saying she was not jealous. ' he raised his hand caressing her face softly making her look up at him, " Iam sorry, I just didn't know how to handle humans and specially girls properly, as they are so weak and since I always work where I don't have to restrain myself but exert it in full force it's hard for me to treat people normally and not hurt them, even the day I made you sad, I wanted to embrace you and tell you I love you but I was scared that I might hurt you. I'll try to control and adapt myself so please forgive me. "

Iri looked at him with a soft gaze, " It's okay, you don't have to try alone all by yourself, I am here and if you are insecure or afraid of anything you can share it with me, we'll fix it together okay? And I am also sorry for overreacting I was just so ashamed of myself in that moment for behaving so badly. "

Jace embraced her slowly and she wrapped her arms around him fitting perfectly in his arms. Jace told her, " Don't apologise, you didn't do anything wrong. And I love every part of you so you don't need to be ashamed of even a single bit character of yours. "

Iri smiled, " I love you too, I love every part of you as well. " She looked up at him and grinned childishly.

Jace looked at her hugging her tight and said, " You're so beautiful, thank you for loving me. "

Iri laughed happily, " Thank you, now shall we go back? They must be waiting for us. "

Jace agreed and they took a happy stroll back to their spot. When they reach Ella was feeding Al and questioning him while Al pitifully ate whatever was given and explained it to her giving her reasons and calming her down. They saw that and laughed.

Their laughter alerted Al and Ella and they saw them coming back, Ella said to Al, "  They're coming back too. " And asked the couple, " What took you so long? "

Iri pouted and said, " I told you I was going to drop off the kid, why didn't you tell Jace about it and made him run off on his own. "

Ella smirked and said, " He deserved it and besides, shouldn't you thank me, it's because I did that that you could have a good talk and figure out your feelings for each other. "

Iri pushed her lower lip out and said, " How can you tell that we made up. "

Ella scoffed, " Oh please, anyone who doesn't see the pheromones oozing out of you guys will be mad. "

Iri grumpily complained to Al, " What have you done to her, she was not like this before, she was so gentle and cool, what did you do to her. "

Al also replied pitifully, " I also want to know that, but even so I can't help but like this side of her's as well. " He grinned cheeckily.

Ella shrugged them off, " Sit down and eat the food, Sira has lovingly prepare them for all of us so make sure to eat it all. "

They sat down together and happily chatted and enjoyed their afternoon lunch with the beautiful scenery.

They walked around the place after they had lunch, Ella and Iri let the guys carry the things as punishment from earlier as they walked up front. When they find a good spot they make them take pictures of them or selfies for all of them together and went to the next one again.

It was the first time for the all of them to have a day like this, Al somewhat had a peaceful childhood but he still didn't had the opportunity to enjoy around when he was young and after growing up he didn't bother with them anymore. Jace never got to see the world let alone enjoy it and Iri and Ella never got to enjoy themselves this much even when they got out. Ella didn't like taking pictures or going out, she could not risk putting Iri in danger or leaving behind traces of her existence which can be used against her.

Al look at her enjoying herself and thought to himself, ' I wonder why, she's enjoying herself but it felt like she has put everything at risk. '

Ella called him out asking for a picture, she was standing amidst a wall of roses with a big smile on her face and he thought, ' well I guess it's up to me to protect her. '

Ella and Iri were looking around and they looked back to call the guys only to see them being hit on again.

They stood glaring at them. Jace noticed it first and hurriedly went to stand next to Iri, Iri looked up at him questioningly and he mumbled, " You said to fix it with you when I'm afraid."

Iri looked at him in disbelief for a while and sighed. Ella glared at Al telling him with her eyes, ' Don't even think of coming back if you can't make them disappear. '

Al stood for a while than whispered something to the girls, Ella looked at him with one eyebrows raised and the next thing she know he was walking to her side, he suddenly pulled her close with one hand and kissed her.

Ella turned bright red after the kiss, Al turned to the other girls and gave them a smile. They squealed and giggled out loud shouting wishes at them for a happy relationship together and left.

Ella snapped back to reality, " Why did you do that in front of everyone? "

Al leaned down and whispered on her ear, " I told them that I am already taken and am very devoted to my jealous lover. They told me to prove it so I did. "

He stood back up straight and with a pitiful face asked, " I am sorry, should I have done that? "

She looked at him cursing out on  the inside at her own inability to get mad at him and walked away. Al smiled secretly and followed her stealthily from behind.

Jace and Iri followed them from behind with hands intertwined, " Next time something like this happens tell them to go away and that you already have someone and if they still linger around just swat them away without holding back, you don't need to hold yourself back with those bugs, I'll take responsibility. " Iri taught him.

Jace chuckled out and said, " Yes miss, I'll make sure to follow your orders. "

She nodded her head saying, " Good good. "
