My Ex Next Door-31 Chapter 31: Alexa vs. Bren
The next day.
The McSalter were having breakfast when they heard a knock on the door, Mary looked at Angelo and wonder why the visitor didn't ring the doorbell.
Angelo put his fork down and stood up, he walks to the door and opened it.
(!!)
Shocked filled his eyes when he looked down and saw three small kids standing with a cake in their hands.
Two boys which he figured to be twins since their faces are similar, and a little girl with a cute butterfly ponytail and green round eyes. The three are standing in the front porch with a smile on their small lips.
Angelo's forehead furrowed, he had never seen the three kids anywhere.
"Hi, are you lost?" he asked. The three shook their head at the same time. The little girl forwarded the cake to him and smiled.
"We just moved in, we lived next door with our Uncle Ken and we dropped by to greet your family. We've met your wife and Auntie Novie" the little girl stated.
Angelo tilted his head, confused because no one had informed him about the kids, it's not like the hate kids, he wants to have grandchildren so badly that he was so jealous to see his friends with their grandchildren.
"Come in. I am Angelo McSalter, you can call me Uncle" he accepted the cake and widened the door.
The three kids entered the house and looked around.
"So, what is your name?" Angelo asked and lead the way to the kitchen.
"This is my brother Ethan, he's two minutes older than my brother Leo, this one" The little girl introduced and pointed to Leo.
"And my name is Alexandria Su, my brother Danny gave me that beautiful name in honor of my grandmother who passed away, Leo was ten minutes older than me" Angelo stopped and turned his body around facing the three kids, baffled by her words.
"What do you mean ten minutes?" he asked, he knows that the two boys might be twins since they looked like an apple that was cut in a half, but the girl, she's pretty but her face is not similar to the boys.
"We are triplets," the little girl replied. Angelo almost dropped the cake on the floor. He was not expecting her to say that.
Then the girl continued.
"Mommy said the doctor spent ten minutes before he could take me out of mommy's stomach. She's still upset when she thought of it, but it's not my fault." Alexa shrugged her small shoulder.
When they entered the dining, Novie, Mary and Brent looked at their direction, surprised.
"Wow! Papa, I didn't know you had a kid somewhere, when did you have an affair?" it was Brent, he spoke with disbelief while giving his father a disappointed look.
Brent stood in front of the three kids, he switched his eyes between the two boys, when he gazed at the small girl, his hand lifted to pinch her chubby cheeks.
"You are so cute" Brent giggled after he saw the little girl pouted her lips.
"You're really cute but you reminded me of someone. hm... yeah… you definitely looked like my ex-girlfriend"
When Brent felt small electricity on his arm, he looked at his side and saw one of the boys with a teaser poking his arm.
"What are you doing little boy?" he asked, the boy looked at him and shifted to the other boy.
"Ethan, why this teaser is not working?"
"Leo this teaser only works for frogs, I made it for mommy, not for you" Ethan answered and took the teaser from Leo.
Brent looked back at the girl in front "What's your name?" the girl massages her red cheeks and frowned at him.
The girl didn't reply, instead…
(Bam!!!)
Brent touched his cheeks after the girl slapped his face, even with her small hand he could feel the impact.
Brent's eyes widened, as he was about to talk, he saw the girl's body jumped and swirl around, and before his lips parted, her small feet landed on his face, the little girl just gave him a solid high kick and at that moment Brent realized that the small girl kicked harder than some of his enemy.
There was a shoe print on his cheeks from the sands, while his body fell on the floor because of the pressure.
Brent stood up and looked at his father, the man was laughing, amazed by the scene. Brent scoffed with disbelief.
"Pa! That kid slapped and kicked me and your laughing?" he spoke in a hurtful voice, his father looked at him, still laughing.
"Why don't you call the police" his father replied with sarcasm.
Meanwhile, Novie was astonished, she wasn't expecting Alexandria, a small and chubby girl to be so strong like that.
Novie went to Alexa and carried her.
"Aunt Novie, can you please tell him that I don't mean to kick him. I was only defending myself" Alexa pouted, Novie turned to her brother and kicked his leg.
"What is wrong with you Brent? How can you hurt her" she yelled at him, Brent wrinkled his nose and turned to his mother.
"I didn't mean it, she's so cute and fat" Brent complained to his mother.
Novie could feel Alexa's body hardening, then she realized that Brent just called her fat, even though Alexa is chubby, being called fat can piss any girl.
There was a moment of silence, while Alexa's brother Ethan and Leo asked Novie to put Alexa down.
The girl was not moving, she's like a mannequin.
Leo and Ethan surrounded their sister.
Ethan massages Alexa's back while Leo held her hands.
"Al, breathe… inhale… exhale… don't cry" Ethan tried to soothe his sister, but the girl was not moving at all, she stood as if her body has been frozen
"Alex, calm down, your eyes are scaring me" Leo continued while his hand trembled.
Novie squatted on the floor and looked at Alexa's eyes, her heart skip a beat after she saw it turning to black, she had seen it before but until now, it still surprises her.
Novie's parents also stared at Alexa's eyes, shocked and amused by the sight.
"I… will not cry… I will call mommy and have him send to prison for calling me fat" Alexa spoke in a flat tone while pointing at Brent
Novie turned to her brother with annoyance. "You may rot in jail" she yelled at Brent.
"She kicked me, I should be the one filing the case here" Brent blurted.
Novie saw her mother got up and walk to her brother, then Mary slapped Brent head so hard that the man almost lost his balance.
"Say sorry to her, how can you call her fat? She's not fat, she probably just have so much food in their house she doesn't want to waste" Mary dragged her son in front of Alexa and pushed his body on the floor, the man kneel and looked at Alexa.
Brent gnashed his teeth, he got beaten up by a small girl and his family is not defending him, but he also feels guilty. She was not fat, but not thin as well.
"I am sorry. I will not pinch and call you fat again" Brent softened his voice, he could see how red Alexa's cheeks are.
"Ok, but in one condition" Alexa crossed her arms while her black eyes contorted to brown and focused on him
Brent creased his brow with confusion, he saw Alexa's brother went behind her back and shook their head rapidly while waving their hands, signaling him to refuse.
At that moment, Brent skin shivered, he wants to say no but his mother is glaring at him.
Brent gulped and sweat, he realized that the girl in front is sneaky and he regretted messing with her.
But he knows well that his parents will not stop and since the triplets are Ken's relatives, he doesn't have a choice but to agree.
"Fine, what is it?" Brent exhaled, his mind crumpled by the thought a small kid could control him.
The little girl in front showed a vicious smile, she uncrossed her arm and patted his head like he was a dog, "You will be my servant. You will accompany me when I go shopping and run errands for me"
The McSalter was stunned while Ethan and Leo looked at Brent with sympathy.
