My Ex Next Door

In Alexa's room.

Alexa's brothers were in her room helping her to brush her hair while she flipped the pages of the storybook her father bought.

When she reached the end, she throws it at the bed and sighed.

"Leo, I am thirsty. Can you get me a juice?" she ordered him.

The boy frowned at her, "I am not your servant Alexa. Get it yourself." Saying that he marched out of the room.

"Ethan please?" Alexa shifted her eyes to Ethan and blinked repeatedly.

"Don't worry Leo will come back here" hearing that, Alexa giggled.

In the other side, Leo went downstairs with a heavy foot. He went straight to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator but, he only found water inside.

When he looked around, he saw a juice in a pitcher with strawberry chunks. He grabbed three plastic cups and carried it using his mouth while his hand carried the pitcher full of juice to Alexa's room.

When he put it on the round table at Alexa's room, he poured it in the plastic cup and handed it to his siblings.

Alexa's face screwed up when she tasted it, "This juice is strange but sweet. It's exotic just like me! I love it!" she blurted and finished it.

Ethan did the same and even asked for more.

After some hours, the triplets were sitting on the floor watching the animal channels.

"Wait. I need to get something from my room" Ethan spoke and left the room. When he came back, he had a box full of chemical liquid and tubes which his mother usually used for her experiments.

He put it on the floor and his siblings circled around.

"What are you planning to do Ethan" Alexa spoke, their faces were all red while their eyes were half opened.

"I don't know. Somehow, I feel sleepy but, I am not tired ek..." Alexa and Leo laughed when Ethan suddenly had a hiccup.

"I am going downstairs to get some food. You stay here brothers" Alexa spoke and got up, she walked towards the door with difficulty.

"Why can't I walk straight?"

"Is something wrong with my legs?"

"Did my legs get smaller?" Alexa murmured as she left the room.

Leo looked at his brother and asked him to make a smoke bomb. After they mixed all the liquid and powders needed, Ethan handed it to Leo and taught him how to use it.

"You need to mixed this one and then..." Ethan was interrupted when Leo pour an unknown liquid to the mixture resulting in a big explosion.

The two boys barked after inhaling all the smoke that spread around the room after the explosion.

"What did you do Leo?" Ethan asked while wiping the smudge off of his glasses.

"I don't know. Is it dangerous?" Leo asked in terror.

"No, I don't think so," Ethan answered.

The two boys looked at each other and laughed. Both of their faces were full of ashes that darkened their faces. When they saw each other's teeth, their laugh went louder as if was full of ashes.

The door opened the two boys shifted their sight to the door. The smile they had in their faces disappeared when they saw the rage in their father's face and behind him was their Uncle Nathan and Ken who are holding their laugh.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?" their father yelled in anger.

When they saw him walked closer, they got up and took a step back.

"We… will sleep soon daddy" Ethan spoke in between his hiccup.

In the other side, Nathan creased his brow when he saw the two boys walking unsteadily. The redness of the face and the familiar pitcher he saw on the table made him realized why they were acting like this.

"Evan, I think your kids are drunk" Nathan spoke while pointing t the table. Evan turned to the table with shock in his face while Ken exploded in laughter.

"Oh my! Your kids are drunk!" Ken exclaimed. His shoulder shook as he laughed.

Evan took a deep breath and tried the drink. "Damn it! I think it has a vodka!" he cursed and looked at the door where the maids are standing.

"Who gave this to my kids?" Evan yelled at the maids.

"I saw my daughter made that for Anders" Nathan answered when he saw the anger in Evan's face.

"And why didn't she throw it? And where is Anders?" Evan looked to check for Anders but, there was no sign of him.

"He left" Nathan replied and tried the drink only to find out how sweet it was.

"Oh, that must be the reason why your kids like it. It's almost like sugar" he handed a cup to Ken for a try but, the man refused it.

Disbelief was painted all over Evan's face. His mind blows as he tried to picture his wife reaction when she saw their kids.

"Daddy I got it from the kitchen" Leo stated while walking to his father. His feet walked one steps forward but later took another step backward.

"Daddy, why are you so far?" Leo's body dropped on the floor after he felt his knee weakened.

Watching it, Ken and Nathan kept on laughing while Evan's face scrunched up in anger.

"Where is Alexa?" he asked as he looked around. He didn't notice it earlier because of all the smoke around bu,t they were in Alexa's room.

"Kitchen. She said she's hungry. Why is she always hungry?" when Leo asked those question. Evan carried his son in his hand and rushed to the kitchen.

When they arrived, their lips parted in shock. Alexa was standing on the table with a spatula on one hand while the other had a flower she got from the vase.

"Alexa" Evan called his daughter name in terror. The expression Alexa had in her face and her red eyes were making his body to shiver in rage.

"Daddy!!!" she squeals, her lips stretched in smile, delighted by her father's presence.

"Yes, honey. I can't believe I am saying this to my five-year-old daughter but, honey you are drunk." Evan put his son down and moved closer to the table but, Alexa asked him to stop from coming closer.

"No daddy. Don't come closer. I have so many things in my mind and I don't know why but, I am in the mood to say it now" she stuttered while pointing the spatula to everyone.

Everyone could see how her body swayed but, Alexa seems to not mind it at all.

"But, you always say what you want even when you're not drunk" Ken blurted, he leaned against the wall with both hands crossed and amused with the scene.

At the same time, Matthew came and was astounded to see Alexa on the dinning table holding a spatula and a flower.

"Wow! Alexa this is the first time I see you holding a spatula! What are you cooking? Flowers?" he spoke in sarcasm and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

But Alexa ignored him and pointed the spatula at her uncle Ken.

"You Uncle Ken!" she shouted his name and pouted her glossy small lips.

"Me? What about me?" Ken asked innocently.

"Yes, you! I hate you! You didn't invite me to your party so I will not invite you to my wedding!" Alexa spoke in a hurtful tone, suddenly tears dropped from her eyes. Evan tried to walk closer but, Alexa asked him to stand still.

"Hey, Alexa! I had an excuse." Ken tried to defend himself.

But Alexa was not interested in any of his excuse.

"Excuse? What excuse? My mum cried because of you! If you think I will eat all the food then… you could have ordered more!" she yelled at her uncle while her sobs went louder.

As she continues, Alexa walked back and forth at a slow pace while her father was on alert in case she falls down from the table.

Seconds later, she stopped and brushed the hand holding the flower to her hair making some of the petals to fall.

"Is it a crime to eat? I always give you food when you're here and I am not charging you! Ah huh! NEVER!" she waved a finger in the air while tears dropped on the table.

"Aunt Novie said the steak you had in your party was from the young beef. That soft, tasty and juicy steak. How could you be so selfish!" Alexa yelled once again and asked the maid to get her a tissue and when the maid handed her one, she gasped loudly and looked at the maid in disbelief.

"This is a kitchen tissue. I need a soft hypoallergenic two-ply facial tissue" she shook her head while her eyes wet in tears. After the maid handed her a new one, she turned to her father.

"Daddy!" she called her father in a cracked voice.

"yes Honey," Evan answered, trying to hold onto his patience.

"Why can't I get married? Is it because I am fat and I eat too much? Don't worry I will marry a rich boy so he can afford to feed me!" Alexa stomped her feet on the table while crying.

"You're a kid. You can ask me again after 30 years" Evan wanted to laugh as well but, he tried to hold it together.

Alexa shook her head, "Thirty? then I will be… ahm...why I can't count, and why there's two of you daddy? What happened to my eyes" her brows creased as she tried to find the answer but, her fuzzy mind made it hard for her to calculate.

"Ethan I need the answer" Alexa yelled at her brother.

Ethan tried to count in his mind but, he could not concentrate so he tried to count with his finger and when he used all of his fingers, he took Leo's hand and use it to continue. After some seconds, Ethan looked back at his sister, uncertainty was written all over his face.

"I think twenty-five" hearing it. Ken and Nathan blasted in tears while Matthew almost choked on his drink.

"I am not taking my kids to your school Evan" Matthew spoke to Evan in between his laugh.

Evan looked at Matthew with his eyes narrowed in annoyance, "Really? Do you even know the answer?" he asked in sarcasm.

Matthew snubs him and took his phone out to take a video.

"Thirty-five honey. You will be thirty-five" Evan answered while holding the remaining patience he had.

"I will be too old!" Alexa spoke in a hurtful tone and turned to Ken.

"You! Uncle Ken! You are very ungrateful! Give me back my first kiss!" Alexa shouted.

Everyone looked at Ken in shock, even the maids started whispering.

Ken straightened up, "Hey! What kiss?"

Alexa pointed the spatula at him once again while frowning at him.

"In the hospital. Mommy said you woke up because I kissed you and yet you didn't invite me to your party." Ken emitted a long sighed while his nose wrinkled in irritation.

"Well, your mother lied. I woke up because she removed the oxygen mask I had and slapped me repeatedly" every time he remembers that day, his blood boils.

"What?" terror flashed in Alexa's face. The flower she had in her hand dropped while her lip parted in shock.

"Mommy lied to me? But mommy never lied" slowly, Alexa squatted on the table while her hands covered her face, shock by her uncle'ss word.

Evan throws a murderous look at Ken and walked closer, then he whispered in a bitter tone "Calm her down!"

Ken rolled his eyes and carried Alexa in his arm. "Will you feel better If I return your first kiss?" the little girl looked at him with her eyes glistened in tears.

"Maybe," she blinked and wipe her tears.

Ken's hand swayed the hair on her forehead to give her a kiss but, after he saw her forehead, his eyes shut by itself.

(Please dear Lord! I can't laugh now!) Ken prayed inside.

He tried to stop himself from bursting but, he could no longer hold it. With her forehead almost the same size as his palm, he finds it hard to hold himself.

Ken's shoulder shook in laughter. He tried to look away but, the light in the dining room was making her forehead to glow.

"Are you laughing because of my forehead" Alexa spoke in suspicious.

Ken shook his head as a response but, his body shook in laughter.

"No, but… have you ever tried measuring it?" he blurted.

Ken tried to breathe to stop himself from laughing but, every time he will look at her forehead all he could imagine was Daniella landing a jet on it.

Alexa pouted her lips. She knows the reason why her uncle was laughing. When she could no longer hold it, she buried her face to his neck and open her mouth to bite his neck.

"Ouch!" Ken grunted when he felt some teeth biting his neck. He tried to remove Alexa's head from hurting him but, the girl was like a Rottweiler. He's afraid that if he used force, his skin might tear off so, he let her bite him and take all her frustration out.

The people around looked at him in pity but, they know Ken deserves it after insulting Alexa's forehead.
