Chapter 14: Chapter 14

CHAPTER 14

And that was when his mother smiled.

Or probably smirked at me.

I felt like choking.

Alex gently pushed the girl from him.

"Lee what's wrong" she and Alex's Mother exchanged glances, but Alex's mother's eyes deviated and turned to me, when miss Asian princess noticed it, she also turned to me.

"Hey, oh my gosh, like I literally know you" she stated and twisted her brows probably trying to remember where she has Met me before, I really don't think I know her.

"Andra, woaw, what a surprise" I heard Aiden's voice.

I looked up and saw him surface from the stairs with the other twins following behind.

"Really, so what, is this official now" Jake asked.

"Are you guys into it already" Jeremy asked as he searched Alex's Eyes looking for something I can't really tell. "Come on Alex, you can't do this to your wife" he added as he pointed at miss asia who in turn dropped her hands on her waist like a boss lady.

I could tell that Aiden was trying so hard to suppress his laughter but Alex wasn't finding it funny.

So miss Asia is the girl they were calling his wife the other day. Crazy.

How old is she by the way.

"Come on Alex, you can't be this selfish and greedy, you could have just left her for Aiden, he had good plans for her mehn" Jake stated.

"So I'm guessing you are Andra then" I heard their mother Ask me.

I looked up at her and suddenly lost my voice.

"Yea mum, this is Andra" Alex spoke out.

"Yea of course, the dumb bitch you were staring at the other day, and have her devils sisters embarrass me, you still owe me an apology Lee"

Lee? OK I seem to be the only one who hasn't noticed that giving Alex a nickname seem to be a competition. Coupled with the fact that I have no idea what she's talking about.

"I owe you no apology, and if you call her a bitch again, you will regret knowing me, also the name's Alex, I won't repeat myself" Alex barked.

"You can't talk to her like that Alex, especially not in front of strangers" his mother confronted.

"Andra is not a stranger mum"

"To me she is, I don't know her, coupled with the fact that she was the reason why my daughter in-law was embarrassed at your school" she fired.

I was getting scared already.

Aiden and the rest chuckled.

"Come on Alex, give it up, this won't work" Aiden stated and patted his back but Alex shrugged him off.

"Mum, why are you disrespecting my guest" he asked quietly.

"Oh my God, so now I'm disrespectful, yea" she fired. "I'm talking about how you should apologize to Disney and you are talking about disrespect, Alex what has gotten into you" she barked.

"Mum, please"

I couldn't stay anymore, I ran out as fast as I can.

When I got outside, I bumped into a hard chest, I looked up only to see a middle aged slightly built good lookin man staring down at me.

"Hey are you OK?" He asked in concern.

His voice sounded like that of Alex but deeper, and looking at him closely, he kinda looked like Alex.

I'm guessing he's his dad.

"Hmmh" I mumbled and walked past him.

"Hey dad" I heard Alex greet him. Was he following me.

"Is that your friend, I don't think she's OK" his dad informed him, such a nice man though.

"Yea, don't worry, I got it" Alex stated and I heard his feet running towards me.

"Andra" he called when he finally caught up with me, he drew me back to face him.

"I'm sorry" he apologized. I'm not really angry, I was just scared.

"Hey, I'm not angry"

"Really" he asked in awe and I nodded.

"What kind of an angel are you" he asked with a chuckle.

"The kind that fears her friend's mother" I replied.

He laughed. "Hey, she's not always like that, I guess something pissed her off or something" he defended.

"Yea, something like 'the same person who was the reason her daughter in-law was embarrassed showing up at her house'. That is totally not cool, she was angry"

"Please stop, she was just bluffing about the daughter in-law thing"

"It doesn't look like it to me, I think you are really married, maybe I should give Aiden a chance" I teased.

"Don't even think about it" he fired.

"Wow"

"Come on, let me take you home" he offered.

"Please don't"

"Why not"

"I'm pretty sure my sisters must have heard what happened, courtesy of your brothers"

"What, they can't be that unreasonable"

"Alex, my dad just forgave me today, and he also put his trust in me, I'd rather not spoil it" I stated calmly.

He sighed and shrugged. "You are right, be a good girl for him OK?" He teased and pasted my back.

I laughed.

"I'm gonna just call uber" I stated and fished out my phone to call an uber.

Few minutes later, the driver texted me, that he was at the gate.

"I'll see you tomorrow" I said to Alex.

"Girl tomorrow is Saturday" he replied.

"Oops"

"I'll call you" he stated and I smiled and waved at him.

"Don't let your sisters intimidate you" he adviced.

"I'll try not to" I replied and walked out.

"Where have you been Andra" I heard Lola's voice when I got to the stairs.

I stopped and turned back to her.

"Hey" I greeted without enthusiasm.

"That's not how an African girl greets her elders" Jenny stated as she appeared from nowhere.

"Like you care about the African culture" I fired at her.

"Jeez Andra calm down, I thought we were cool" Lola asked.

I rolled my eyes, how stupid do they think I am.

"Look Andra, I'm sorry, its just that, we are your sisters and we just want your safety" Jenny stated.

"Really since when" I asked.

"Andra I know its hard for you to believe that we love you but its OK" Lola replied.

"Is she back?" I heard Titi ask as she ran into the living room. "Hey Andra, you were at Alex's house Today?" She asked.

I knew it, i knew those three boys can't Mind their businesses.

"Yea, why" I asked.

"Nothing just asking, I mean, immediately after school, you just vanished, only for Aiden to call me and tell me you were at their house" she explained.

"Look Titi, I don't sort of have interest in your boyfriend, believe me, and he was just bluffing the other day" I tried to clear the air.

"Hey, I get it, I just wanted to know why Alex took you to his house, are you guys like kind of official now" she asked with a wide grin.

"What! No, of course not" I laughed.

I'm starting to relax to all this, even though I shouldn't, but I've never actually talked normally with my sisters before, if only this was real, if only they have changed for good.

"Alex took me to introduce me to his mum"

"Why, does he want to ask you out" Lola asked dreamily.

"I'm pretty sure that's not it.." I replied as I absent mindedly climbed down the stairs. "He said its because we are friends" I added.

"I heard his Asian girlfriend wasn't happy to see you, Aiden told me actually" Titi stated as we all walked to the couch opposite the fireplace.

"She's not his girlfriend, his mother teases him about marrying her in future, but he's not interested."

"Wow, dramatic isn't he" Lola commented.

"Hey.." I nudged her. "He's not dramatic"

We heard a beep and Titi sprang up.

"My chocolate cake is done" she informed and twirled around.

"You bake?, I didn't know you bake" I asked in surprise.

Seriously, when did she start baking.

"How would you know when you always lock yourself up in your room" Lola asked.

"Thanks to you guys" I replied with a light chuckle.

"We are sorry baby, and yes I bake. There's a lot of things you don't know about me" she stated and walked out.

"She's literally the chef of the house" Jenny backed up.

Tell me about it sister. Its all your fault I don't know a thing about you guys.

Few minutes later, Titi came back with a tray with four plates of chocolate cake in it.

"Wow, it looks yummy" I commented.

"It tastes even better" Jenny stated as she helped Titi set the tray on the mini center table.

She gave me a plate and gave Lola and Titi a plate, she took hers and sat down.

I took a fork full and slipped it into my mouth. I swear I literally went to heaven and came back.

"Hmmmmmmmmh" I mumbled and gave Titi a thumb's up.

I can't believe this is what I've been missing.

But hey Andra get it together, devil can't repent remember?.

"Oh my gosh, David finally asked Emma to the prom" I heard Jenny chuckle out excitedly

"She has waited for like ever" Lola replied.

"Aww, finally, I'm so happy for her" Titi cooed.

"Hey what about you Andra, has anyone asked you" Lola asked.

"Prom is literally like 2 weeks from now, after exams, we are supposed to be bothered about exams not a date to the prom, which brings to no, no one has asked me" I replied.

"That's surprising, you are like the most beautiful girl in school" Jenny stated as she typed on her phone.

"What about Alex" Lola asked.

"Didn't you hear what i just said, prom is....."

"Still far. We heard you"

I faced my delicious cake but I noticed them exchange glances and I wondered what was wrong.

As I was about to ask, Lola lifted her head up and breathed out.

"Hey Andra, we have a surprise for you on prom night."

ALEX'S POV

As I was reading my literature text book I heard my door creak open and my three monsters, sorry, brothers walked in.

"Do you ever knock" I fired at them.

Aiden picked a pen from my desk and threw it at me but I caught I and threw it back.

"Good catch" he commented, for the first time.

"Studying for exam, yea?" Jeremy asked.

"You are not that blind after all" I replied without looking at him.

"Whatever"

I Sighed and finally looked u at them.

"What do you guys want" I asked.

"Are you still angry with mum" Jake asked.

"It's not your business"

"Come on, you can't be angry with your big wife" Aiden stated as he touched my face, I slapped his hands off.

"For the last time, what do you want" I asked again.

"Fine, have you asked any girl to the dance on prom night"

Why are they suddenly interested in that.

"No, I'm not interested in prom" I replied.

"Even when you have a wife and a girlfriend" Jeremy asked.

I sighed and turned back to my book, ignoring them.

"Dude we have a surprise for you on prom night" Jake blurted out.

I slowly turned to them, expecting them to tell me that it was a joke or that Jake was slowly running mad.

"Whaaat?" I exclaimed.

"Don't be too loud, and don't worry, its gonna be fun" Jake Patted me on the back with a wide grin.

They laughed and walked out.

I turned back to my books, hoping to wake up from this dream.
