My Ex Next Door

In the Su Villa.

After Evan, Ken, and Nathan arrived. They all proceed to the living room. The triplets walked to their bedroom to change their clothes but, before they left, they all turned to their father.

"Daddy can we have chocolate?" they asked in rhythm.

"sure" as soon as they got his confirmation. The three rushed upstairs while shrieking in excitement.

Ken sat on the single sofa and leaned his back. He kept on sighing, worried about Novie.

Evan seated on the opposite couch while Nathan left to get them a drink.

It's seven in the evening and they've had their dinner at the restaurant near Kirby's apartment. They spent almost five hours watching Nathan lecturing Kirby and Selena about their relationship.

When Nathan came back, he asked the maid to give the drinks to Evan and Ken while he occupies the seat next to Evan.

"Is Selena talking to Anders?" Evan asked Nathan.

"Ahuh! I warned him about their relationship but, he couldn't say no to her" Nathan replied.

"well, she's young. Let her play" Ken blurted. Evan and Nathan looked at him with a blank expression.

Evan's hand reached at the remote on the table to turn the television on. When the evening news flashed, he turned to Ken and said "say that again when you get a daughter"

In the kitchen.

Anders was giving orders to the maids when Selena came in. He gave a wary smile and pour water in the glass for her.

He ran his eyes to her and saw how exhausted she looked. Before Selena accepted the glass, the girl ran to him and embraced him tightly.

"OMG! Anders, you will not believe what just happened!" she took the glass he had in his hand and drank it in one gulped.

"I heard you stay at Kirby's house" he replied and turned his back from her to put the water back to the refrigerator.

"Yes and we kissed" Selena shrieked while tugging on his shirt.

"Oh my God! his lips are so soft. Can you believe that?" her eyes shimmered in excitement while her body flinched.

Anders sighed and held her arms to stop her from jumping.

"I am happy for you" he replied but his eyes were glooming in sadness.

"I am so happy too! should we have a June wedding? Or maybe December" Selena's enthusiasm didn't disappear. She sat on the kitchen counter and asked Anders to come closer.

Anders stood in front of her while she sat on the counter. Her hands were on his shoulder while her eyes glowed in contentment.

Despite all the happiness overflowing in her heart, the gloom in Anders' eyes didn't escape her radar.

"Anders. Is something wrong? Are you jealous that I am finally getting a real boyfriend while you stay single?" she asked in a provoking tone.

Anders removed her hands from his shoulder and held it tight.

"how can I be jealous? Does Kirby know how indigent you are? You call me in the middle of the night because you feel bored. I am not jealous instead, I pity him" he humorously replied and messes her hair.

"Don't you like someone? I can help you get her just like I did" she offered.

He sighed and pinches both of her cheeks.

"yes. I do. I am human too"

"who is she? Do I know her?" she asked as she tried to separate Anders hand from pinching cheeks.

"Maybe" he replied short.

"ok. Since I have a boyfriend now, you can confess to her" She breathe when she finally removed his hand.

"Nah! She has a boyfriend and I don't have the courage to confess" Anders replied.

Selena went silent while her eyes narrowed in doubt.

"Don't worry. We will get her just like how I got my Kirby" she spoke in determination.

She got down from the counter and took a vodka bottle from the kitchen cabinet.

She mixes the vodka and the pineapple juice she took from the refrigerator in a pitcher glass while humming.

Anders stood next to her and laughed in amusement, "what are you doing? You know they are not fitted right?" he tried to stop her from mixing it but, the girl didn't stop. Instead, she took some pieces of strawberry and cut it into small pieces.

"I know they are not fit but, this will make you drunk so after you finish this whole jar you will call that woman and confess your feeling" she tasted it and her face turned sour when she realized how awful the taste was.

"Let me put some sugar to make it sweet" she giggled and pour a spoonful of sugar in the cocktail.

"Wait. Use my phone to call her. She doesn't know my number right?" she asked.

Her hand reached to her back pocket and took her phone out but, it was out of battery.

"I didn't charge it last night. You know what. Call her and once she answered let me talk to her so I can judge what kind of person she is" saying that Selena tasted the cocktail once again.

"Oh, this is disgusting. Too sweet" she set it aside and wait for Anders to do what she asked.

"call her" she insisted. The man blows a long sighed and took his phone out.

When Anders put the phone on his ear, his eyes were staring at her.

"Out of coverage" he stated and put the phone back.

"tsk well. It's either she lost her phone or forgot to charge it. Anyway, I will go to bed now. Goodnight Anders. Keep calling her. Let her know your feeling tonight or I will tell her myself" she threatened him and left the room.

When Anders was left alone in the kitchen, he looked at his phone and checked the name of the person he called.

Selena Su.

A bitter smile curled upon his lips.

"stupid girl," he whispered while shaking his head.

He sighed and looked at the cocktail she made. His hand reached to pour him a glass and when he tasted hit, his face scrunched up.

"what kind of poison is this?" he put the glass down and was about to get water when Nathan came.

"Hi, I am sorry I was snooping" Nathan gave him an awkward smile.

Anders shrugged a shoulder and asked him what he needed but, Nathan didn't answer instead he stared at him in pity.
