Concealed Love

Chapter_47 " Too early to sleep together "

            After Al and Ella got home, they went to change their damp clothes and later went down to join Iri and Jace. They all sat down and chatted. Iri excitedly asked them, " How was your day? Did you guys enjoyed it? "

Al replied calmly with a smile, " Yes, we did. "

Iri turned to Ella mischievously for a positive reply, Ella didn't let her down, " We enjoyed it a lot Iri.... " After saying that softly she added, " Oh and we decided to go out. "

Iri first smile and said, " Glad you both enjoyed it... What? You're already dating? "

Al and Ella both laughed and said, " Yes we are. "

Iri had become speechless, then she excitedly turned to Jace and said, " Did you hear that? Congratulations guys, I'm so happy for you. "

Jace spoke up with a smile, " About time. Congratulations anyway. "

The other two thanked them for their wishes happily but Iri wasn't satisfied with Jace's words.

She looked at him and said unsatisfied, " That's it you should be happier for them. "

Ella tried to stop her, " It's okay Iri, that's much is enough, we're grateful. "

Iri shrugged, " Hmp, from before he's been acting like this, so hard to get along just like an old man. Can't even be happy for your friends getting together."

Ella looked at Jace a bit apologetically, Jace smiled assuring her it was okay and said to Iri with a pitiful face, " Well what can I do, the one I wanna be together with doesn't seem to like me so how can I be happy? "

Iri's ear turned red, she didn't know what to say back to the cunning guy so she kept herself quite mumbling, " Tsh, so corny. "

While they were fighting like little kids Al and Ella looked at them and whispered among themselves, " Looks like they got closer, " Said Ella and Al replied, " Guess they did. " And they laughed.

Iri saw them laughing and said, " Ugh, already showing off I see. "

Ella blushed and tried to discipline the child she raised to stop spouting nonsense but Al spoke faster than her saying, " I'm so happy that I can finally have her that I can't seem to hide my joy. "

Ella blushed harder looking at Al with a pouting face that says, ' How can you say that. '

Al laughed and pinched her face gently. Looking at them and seeing Ella acting spoilt Iri's heart became lighter, she was glad that Ella had finally found someone she can fully depend on.

Sira came to interrupt them to tell the youngsters that dinner will be served. They all got up and went to have their lunch, they talked about enjoyable and memorable stuffs in their life and for that day, they only shared happy memories and stories.

After dinner, Jace and Iri went up first making time alone for the new couple.

Al was peeling an apple for Ella sitting at the same couch which was made for three person. They sat comfortably talking to each other playing some relaxing music on the speaker.

Seeing that Al was only peeling it for her she said, " You eat it too, I can peel for myself. "

Al refused her, " It's okay I don't like it that much. Ah but if you are gonna, peel some for me than that will be a different story. "

She looked at him with a disappointed stare that says, ' So cheesy. '

Al saw that she was not impressed so he leaned down towards her and hugged her lightly making a pitiful face he asked, " You don't wanna? "

She smugly turned her head acting mad but her hands went towards the knife and the apples on the table peeling it carefully. She cut it into bunny shapes and fed it to the big baby who was still clinging by her side.

He happily ate it and said, " Sweet. " By this time he was already towering over Ella with his chest leaning at Ella.

After some time he suggested that she should rest as it had been a long tiring day. She agreed and they went up together, seeing him following her even after walking past his room she turned and suspiciously asked, " What are you doing? "

Al innocently asked, " What do you mean what? I'm going with you. "

She panicked and scolded him, " Why are you going to my room, you have your own room. It's too early to sleep together. "

Al was taken back for a while buth than after digesting her words he howled out laughing. Ella looked at him weirdly with a frown.

After a heartfelt laugh he calmed himself down to take a breather and looked up at the weary woman who was acting like a kitty on alert.

He went closer to her pulling her tightly into his embrace and said, " Ah, so adorable, what should I do with you. "

" Stop treating me like a kid and let me go we're not the only ones in the house. " Ella scolded him with a flustered face.

Al didn't let go of her but loosen his hug a little, just a little and said calmly, " Don't worry they won't come down here right away and don't be mad. Even if I wanna sleep and wake up by your side very much I'll restrain myself before you want me to. I just wanted to drop you off to your room and go back. "

Ella was elated on the inside but she acted smugly and said, " Hmp, it's fine, it's next to yours anyway, you can go back. "

Al smiled and said, " Just wanted to see you even for a bit longer hehe. " He broke the hug gave her a kiss on her forehead and with a smile and wished her, " Good night Ella, my precious love. "

Ella nuzzled on his neck hiding her embarrassment and wished him back a good night. After that she quickly ran away to her room leaving Al by himself in the hallway. He was got off guard by her sudden act of showing affection. He smiled thinking of her actions and went back to his room.

He fell asleep with a smile on his hard face but he surely didn't wake up the same.

He had slept late so he slept in later than usual, in the morning he was woken up by a phone call. He sat up and looked at the caller and to his surprise it was his mother.

After he had got back his memories he got curious and went to meet them once, even though he was with them always it just felt unreal to see his mother so open of her love and his father so devoted to his family.

But no matter how unbelievable it felt to him they were still that sweet and that lovely people. They treated him with love and care and he could feel how much they cherished him.

However at the moment, the voice from the other side of the phone didn't let him think of anything for long as her mother asked, " Hello? Aldri? Can you hear me?"

He replied, " Yes mom, what is it? "

" Oh, I just wanted to inform you that we are on our way to your place, it's been a long time since we last visited and don't bother Sira for our breakfast, we have already ate. " She cheerfully explained.

Al became speechless for a while and calming himself down he said, " Okay. "

She said, " Okay, we're on the car so I'll hang up, we'll see you in a while. Bye. " She hung up.

Al closed his eyes and pinch the middle of his forehead. He had not told his parents that he was staying with Ella or Iri and Jace. He could just tell them what he had told his other friends but his mother was a problem, she was not going to be easily fooled. He can tell them about his relationship with Ella but he wondered if Ella will be okay with it. His mother will surely be happy but she might trouble and pressure Ella.

He got up washed himself quickly and because he didn't want to wake up Ella and disturb her peaceful sleep he went down by himself to welcome his parents.

Jace and Iri was already up and he told them that his parents will be coming. They asked him if they would not be comfortable with them around when they arrive but he assured them it'll be okay, " It's okay, she'll be more than happy to see that I have friends who visits me but.... "

Iri asked him, " But what? "

Al sighed and said, " My mom, she's too cunning that she might found out about me and Ella. "

" What, you don't want to tell your parents about your relationship? If you're serious about her than you won't hide her, or do you think your mother is not gonna like her? " She thought wrong of the situation and got angry.

Al sighed harder and said, " No, the opposite. I want to introduce her to them and I'm sure my mother will love her. I just don't want to scare Ella away by letting my mom ask her ridiculous questions, we just started dating I don't want anything to go wrong. "

Iri was relieved, she smiled and said, " Don't worry, Ella will understand, have more faith in her love. Besides your mother might never know. "

Al decided to thrust her and right after the talk his mother pushed open the door and walked in happily, " So? Where's my daughter in law? " Shocking everyone in the room.
