Three weeks went by since Arthur and Iris dissolved their rival ship and became lovers. Iris was in a town and spotted Francis Bonnefoy. She groaned. She knew if he spotted her he would shout for the guards. She needed to hide and fast. She looked around an alleyway or a pub. She spotted an alleyway and hid in it. "Oh boy that was close," she muttered as she watched Francis walked pass the ally with his daughter Lana. When the two were out of sight Iris ran out of the ally and walked down to the square. She kept her face covered with her hat. She didn't know an old friend of hers was following her. She kept walking until he grabbed both of her arms and whispered into her ear, "You've lowered your guard over the past few years. That isn't good mi amgia." Iris automatically recognized the voice and turned around to see Captain Antonio Carriedo. "Hello Antonio," she said looking at the Spaniard with a cocky smile on her face. "Hola Iris," he said giving Iris a hug. "What are you doing here? Last time I heard about you, you were going after some treasure in the Caribbean," Iris said returning the hug. "I know but I got with the help of my hermanita Elisa," Antonio said as they walked into a pub. "I see," Iris said as they took a seat. "I've heard rumors that you and Arthur are now lovers are that true?" Antonio asked. "Yes it is," Iris answered. Antonio frowned. He had a crush on Iris, but ever since he found out that Iris was with Arthur he felt sad that he never told her how he felt for her. Iris ordered some rum while Spain ordered the same thing. "What do you even see in that guy?" Antonio asked. "That isn't any of your business Toni," Iris said looking away from Antonio. "Why isn't it?" he asked. "Just leave the matter alone idiot," Iris answered getting a little angry. Antonio noticed her anger rising and decided to stop pestering her like that. Iris sighed and looked around the pub. The waitress came by and gave the two their rum. After they finished drinking Iris stood up to leave when Antonio grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him. "If Arthur ever thinks of hurting you just come to me, you'll know where to find me," he said. "I'll think about that offer," Iris said yanking her wrist free and leaving the pub. Antonio sighed as he watched her leave; he knew he was letting a beautiful walk of there but not out of his life. A few days later Iris was on her ship gazing out at the ocean. Arthur came up to the side of her and placed his hand on her shoulder. They just became co-captains a few hours ago and Arthur's crew were merging with Iris's crew. Iris smiled at Arthur. She was happy that she was with him and she never wanted to leave him ever. Arthur smiled back at her and pulled her close to him. Iris looked into his eyes and kissed him. Arthur returned the kiss wrapping his arms around her waist. Iris wrapped her arms around Arthur's neck deeping the kiss and closing her eyes. Arthur closed his eyes as well. Iris soon pulled away opening her eyes and smiling at him. Arthur smiled back and brushed her bangs to the side of her face. "I love you Iris," he said. "I love you too Arthur," Iris said. Arthur smirked and lifted her over his shoulder causing her to blush and he ran to their cabin and closed the door behind him.
