My Ex Next Door

When Kirby left his apartment, his hand traveled to his chest to calm his heart. He emitted a long sighed while praying that Selena didn't saw the picture.

He was not expecting for Selena to be in his apartment especially in his room. He had a big portrait of her hanging in his room.

The photo was a stolen shot, it was Selena on her 18th birthday which he secretly took after Nathan Su, Selena's father asked him to leave her alone.

He sighed and went to the nearest restaurant.

In the apartment.

Leo and Ethan were both in the bathtub full of bubbles. Ethan was busy scrubbing Leo's back when Alexa came in.

"brothers, I need to shower now so wash all those disgusting bubbles in your body and leave me alone" she clapped her hands twice and the two rushed out of the bathtub without complaining.

After Ethan dried himself, he gave the towel to Leo who's busy draining the tub.

While waiting for the water to fill the tub, Alexa watched her brother as they put their clothes on.

She keeps on sighing which caused her brother to worry.

"What s the problem, Al?" Leo asked while drying his hair.

"Should we inform mommy? Selena threw our tracker I am afraid mommy will be sad if she can't talk to us today" sadness overtook Alexa face. Ethan patted her hair to console her.

"Don't worry. Before Selena took our tablet. I sent mommy a code. I am not sure though if she will understand it."

Alexa smiled in relief. "you're the best Ethan. Now both of you go! Shoo! My body is full of monkey's hair" the boys left the bathroom without a fuss.

Outside.

Selena searched around Kirby's house for his girlfriend's photo but there's not even a single one.

(Hm...) She paced around the couch with both hands rested on her hips.

At the same time, Ethan and Leo came out of the bathroom.

"kiddo... Help me find the picture of Kirby's girlfriend" she ordered them. Instead of replying, the two boys frowned at her.

"Selena we are tired and hungry. If you worry about Kirby's girlfriend, you should ask mommy for help. She always deals with the women flirting with daddy" Leo stated and sat on the couch. The boy turned the television on and started watching the football.

Selena smirked, she can't call Daniella right now since her plan will fail if she does. She sighed and about to go back to the bedroom when Kirby arrived.

"where are you going?" Selena's hand frost in the air when Kirby suddenly spoke. She hides her hand to her back and gave him an awkward smile.

"I am planning to clean the room" she stuttered.

"but you said the bedroom was clean" he replied as he walks to the kitchen. He placed the food on the table and prepared the plate.

Selena went closer to him and helped him to unpack the food.

"So Kirby. Where is your girlfriend?" Selena asked.

Kirby sighed and turned to her. "she's probably in her house right now"

"triplets food is ready" Kirby shouted. Leo and Ethan came and sat on the chair and picked up the spoon.

Kirby creased his brows when he didn't saw Alexa. He turned to Ethan and was informed that she's still in the bathroom.

He sighed and knocked on the bathroom door. Seconds later, Alexa came out with a towel covering her whole body.

"The food is ready" he tried to hold on his laugh, the towel was too big on her that people will think the towel is floating. If he didn' saw her eyes, he would have a heart attack.

"Kirby help my dry my hair" Alexa ordered and gave him the hairbrush.

He was stunned, she was acting like a princess and he's her servant.

"quick please" Alexa spoke in a bored tone.

Kirby shook his head in disbelief. He found Alexa standing on a chair to reach the sink and looked at her reflection through the mirror.

He picked up the hair drier and adjusted the heat. When he brushed her hair, the little girl looked at him through the mirror.

"what is it? he asked.

"Selena and Anders's relationship is fake" Alexa blurted out.

Kirby's hand frost in the air. He swallowed and tried to compose his body but his heart keeps on beating so fast.

Five years ago, Kirby's parent introduced Athena Lawei as the woman they want him to marry. He didn't have a choice than to accept it, so when he told the news to Selena, he knows it caused her pain.

He thought of waiting but, when she came back from abroad, Anders has been by her side all the time. After he saw their relationship status in social media, he decided to go and agree to his parent's plan.

But, now that he knows their relationship isn't real, his mind started to feel excited.

"you all right Kirby?" the little voice of Alexa spoke.

"yes" he replied short and asked her to change her clothes.

When he came out of the living room, he could not meet Selena's eyes they went on with dinner in a huffed and the triplets went to his bedroom to sleep.
