His Mini Bear

CHAPTER - 86

Iris POV:

My feet thumped against the floor as I waited for Elijah in the cafe.

It's freaking raining look's like winter is going to end.

Ace didn't called me or texted me for days.

He went to Italy..... All of a sudden! Without telling anyone anything.

Hudson was enraged when Liam informed us about this news.

Ace always tells me when he's going somewhere far but not this time....... something is wrong.

I should be angry like enraged but I am more worried for him.

What came up that Ace didn't even said anything to us and left... suddenly?

God, please protect him.

For the past days I gave some excuses to Elijah but I feel more guilty.

Well, I was also sad that I couldn't talk to Ace or see him.

So, just end this chocolate day today.

No more excuses and drama.

Elijah is also a busy man but he makes time to ask me and understand my situation.

Now, who can be this patient and understandable person.

My body flinched, hard as someone placed their hand on my shoulder.

"I am sorry" Elijah said, sheepishly walking in front of me.

My lips parted in shock as I view his appearance properly.

His striking blue eyes looked so..so beautiful. Especially the moles looked more prominent now.

His simple shirt and jeans paired with boots looked classy.

Damn. Did he became more handsome?

Psst. Not more than my big bear.

"Finish admiring me" he said, smirking wide.

I felt my cheeks burning as I smiled awkwardly.

"You look so different" I said, tapping my fingers on the table.

"Well... Thank you for the compliment, darling" he handed me a bouquet of roses.

"It's beautiful "I said, looking at the red, fresh, wet roses.

"It is. Just like you. Bloody Red, fresh and pretty " he said, making me stunned.

"Ah.. OK.." I said, not knowing how to respond to his.. words. Was it a compliment?

"So, how's your life?" I said, clearing my throat.

His eyes are making me feel uncomfortable now.

"You look beautiful, darling. So beautiful" his voice came out huskily.

"Thank you... Umm... let's order hot chocolate " I said, rubbing my hands.

"So, how's your boyfriend?" My breath hitched as I tug my nails into the table.

"He's fine. So, how are you? How's your life going?" I asked, again smiling nonchalantly.

A hiss left his lips as he placed his hand over his chest.

"You lied to me, darling. I thought we were good friends" he stood up and sat beside me, closely.

I cleared my throat as my heart pounded against my chest.

"W-What?" I said, releasing a shaky breath.
