DISGUISE

Chapter : 21

Eric was in the same city as Autumn for nearly a month for his work and because of that, he was able to visit Autumn quite a few times as Edward.
He tried to spend as much time as possible with her because his schedule was about to become an obstacle for him for the next 4 months as Eric had another tour after that MV shoot he had intentionally planned to shoot in the same City where Autumn lives.

Edward's POV: What can you expect from your partner in just one month? Yes, we began talking earlier but as a couple, it's a very small time to know everything about her.
As much as I know, she's not the very jealous type of person but who knows if she becomes one after knowing the truth about me? after knowing that I'm Eric Anderson? See, that's one of the reasons I don't wanna disclose my real identity to her. I want a natural, real and true relationship, not like my previous ones. I really don't wanna show the world that I have a girlfriend and I love her so much instead, I want her to feel special I want her to feel that how much I love her.
One more thing I realized about her so far is, she pouts while talking to me when she wants to convince me to do something and Dam! it works every time.
She loves being independent but I really feel good whenever I'm able to help her, I feel like protecting her for no apparent reasons.
And yeah here comes the thing that I'm afraid of the most "SHE HATES LIARS", it was the very first week of us being together and she asked me to promise her one thing and that thing being "No matter what just never lie", I decided to hide my real identity for some more time, I decided to LIE.
Call me a stupid person, call me anything but I cannot even imagine losing her forever. And proceeding with my stupidity I've asked her to promise me "No matter what kinda situation it is, you won't leave me ever?" literally every time we met and of course she said that she won't.
But, can you blame her even if she does after knowing the truth about me?

Autumn's POV: I won't say that I was afraid to fall in love again, obviously, you can't judge every man on this planet just because the one you dated was a wrong one, but yes it's hard to trust again... just because of that one bad experience but it didn't stop me to give it a try.
I really don't know why but Edward is trying way too hard to..to impress me? If it's the right word. He tries to play it cool but I know he's a really really emotional person, I mean people like this feeling when your partner is afraid to lose you but I cannot see him like that.
I don't know why he always asks me to promise him that I won't leave him in any situation, of course, I say that I won't...I mean why would I? I feel like he might have experienced something terrible but he never actually dated someone.
I wanna know him more, I wanna know everything about him, not to judge him but to give him the love he deserves.

Edward, he hugs me a lot, like a lot. He holds me tight in him arms. It feels so good but as I said I could feel that he holds me like he doesn't want to let go.
I wanna know what's the matter. I wanna know why he's trying to hide his emotional side from me. I am not gonna force him to tell me everything because maybe it's not the right time, after all, it has only been a month since we actually got together.
We didn't kiss tho, I mean I'm not being needy but....
All I know is I don't care even if he's a really really emotional person and he might always need someone to make him realise that they love him, I would love to be that person. I want to be his emotional support. I want us to achieve our dreams and be each other's support system.

Autumn was on her way to Edward's workplace to give him a bracelet that she made overnight just to make sure that it looks beautiful.
It was the very last day Edward was in Finland so she decided to give him his present by paying him a surprise visit in the morning.

As Autumn was about to enter inside the place Eric and his team has rented for the whole month the security guards stopped her.

Miss, you can't go inside *The security guard said*

Call Edward, he knows me *Autumn said politely*
Wait, I'll call him myself*Autumn brings out her phone from her bag but stopped when the security said*

Edward? Who's Edward?*The guards asked*

He a senior Visual Editor, he works here*Autumn said while frowning*

Nice try to fool us girl but everyone knows Eric is staying here and you're trying to find an excuse to meet him.
Nice try but we can't allow you to go inside *Another security guard said*

I know that Eric is staying here and I'm not trying to fool anyone alright? Edward works with Eric, he takes care of all of Eric's MVs and live telecasts.

Listen. Miss, we know everyone who lives here or maybe comes here for work okay? If you don't believe us, check this list yourself*The security guard said while handing over the register to her to check the list*

Autumn took that register in her hands.

What are you doing here Autumn? Why didn't you call me before coming here? *Eric said while taking back the register from her hands forthwith*

This is not the right way to talk to a girl alright? Maybe she's here for something important*Eric told the guards*

She is looking for someone named Edward..and*the guards were saying something but Eric didn't let them complete and said
I need a moment, you can go and visit the parking area if anyone needs any help there.

Okay sir, as you say *The guards said and walked away*

Autumn was looking at him in confusion.

Autumn. I will explain everything*Eric said nervously*

Why would you explain Eric? And why I would have called you? Where's Edward? *Autumn asked him*

Eric took a deep sigh and looked at her.
