Sweet Magic [La Storia della Arcana famiglia Fanfiction]

Chapter 3

"Good morning Irisu."

Jolly waited patiently for her reply. Everything depended on it.

"Good morning." she replied in a subdued voice.

Relief washed over Jolly.

Thank God!

He was so caught up in his relief that he couldn't do anything as Irisu skipped up to him and kissed him on the cheek.

"WHAT ON-"
"There!!! Now I'm feeling so much better!!!"

"IRISU!!!!" He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her close.

"SNAP OUT OF IT!!!"

"What??? Oh Jolly..." she giggled "If you want to kiss me you should just say so..."

"WHA-"

He suddenly realised he had pulled her too close. Awkwardly he pulled back.

"This is not possible..." he said feeling stunned.

"Oh! But it is fine! It is not wrong to love someone so close to you!"

"That's not it!!!!"

"But you love me don't you!!!"

"WHAT!!"

"You do!!! I can see it in your eyes!!!"..

She suddenly pulled away his glasses and leaned in close.

"Why can't you see it in my eyes Jolly??"

He tried to get away from her. But before he realised it she had wormed herself into his arms and though it was clear to Jolly she was holding his hands firmly in place around her waist he didn't expect what came next.....

"What-are-you-doing......... JOLLY?"

Sumire stood there on the lawn looking at him coldly.

"I... uh..."

He tried to pull away and almost succeeded but Irisu pulled him back and then deliberately kissed him again. Then she turned to Sumire.

"WHAT'S IT TO YOU WOMAN!!!!! I'LL LOVE AND MARRY THE MAN I WANT TO!!!! YOU POKE YOUR NOSE IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS!!!!"

Sumire's mouth opened in amazement. Before Irisu could run loose again Jolly grabbed her hand and with a parting apology aimed at Sumire pulled Irisu behind him as he ran away.

When they had finally got away he sat on a seat in the gazebo and took out a cigar.

"Jolly..."
"What?

Jolly looked up to see Irisu blushing.

"What?" He asked again feeling panicky.

"Well... I do want to marry you... but not so soon." she muttered looking away.

"What??!??!! OH GOD!!!!"

He was saved from further embarrassment when one of Papa's men came running screaming about a criminal loose in the market.

"WHAT!!!" Said Irisu drawing her sword.
"LET'S GO JOLLY!!! THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE!!!!"

Yes... Luckily her sense of violence is still intact; probably enhanced.... Atleast he was safe now.....

Irisu grabbed his hand and pulled him up.

"Don't worry love! I'll protect you!" she said with a giggle.

Oh God......KILL ME!!!!

He couldn't think anymore as she pulled him towards the market.
