Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Alexa sniffed the air around her in satisfaction, she took a seat on a wooden chair opposite Chris, a never ending grin graced her face as she stared down at the bowl of instant noodles Chris made for her..

“So far all the guys I have met knows how to cook, I think I’m gonna take cooking classes from now on”

Chris chuckled taking off his suit jacket, he settled back on his seat and proceeded to eat his meal..

“You have a nice apartment, I was wondering why your kitchen looked like it was set ablaze”

The smile on Alexa’s lips froze, that was right, she hadn’t refurnished her kitchen after it blew up few weeks ago..

“Oh i-

A hurried knock fell on her door which saved her ass from his probing questions, she smiled apologetically and stood up from her seat..

“Uh.. just give me a minute”

Chris bobbed his head in response and almost immediately, she fled from his sight, he brought his gaze back to his noodles and helped himself to eat up..

Alexa opened the door to see the one person she didn’t want to see at the moment.

There he stood, resting his side by her corridor. He straightened up and cleared his throat awkwardly drawing a line of confusion on her face..

“What do you want-

Hardin walked past her totally disregarding her questions, he headed straight into the living room in search of the unknown guy hiding in her apartment..

“Hardin! you can’t just walk into my home that way like you own it!”

Hardin turned to her with an arched brow, on getting what he meant by that she rolled her eyes..

“Okay maybe you own the building but you absolutely have no right to-

“Alexa is everything alright?” Chris questioned worriedly as he placed a hand on her shoulder, he raised his head to the other figure present in the room who looked like he was about to rain several punches on his face..

Hardin’s eyes bore an invisible hole on Chris hand resting on Alexa’s shoulder, it pained him even more that she wasn’t repulsing his touch.

“Who is he?”

He heard the strange guy murmur which didn’t cause an effect on him but Alexa’s response made his heart skip a beat.

“He is no one. His grandmother owns this building and now he thinks he can do whatever he likes”

Chris gently shove Alexa behind him and took a brave stance in front of Hardin..

“Just because your grandmother owns this place doesn’t mean you can-

“And who the hell are you? Alexa I can’t believe that you could bring a guy home and make him stay this late” Hardin angrily pointed out..

Alexa scurried out of her hiding place which was behind Chris and stood in between the two before anymore words could be said..

“Alright that’s it! Hardin you have to go, whatever guys or men I bring home has nothing to do with you, just the way I can’t come in between you and Clarissa, I hope you do the same”

A dry laughter left Hardin’s lips, so that’s what this is all about? she thinks that he had something to do with Clarissa..

“I’m sure you don’t know about this, but I’m glad to break it to you Miss Alexa Sterling, No guys are allowed to visit or stay past this time especially if you are a single lady”

Alexa’s face scrunched at the sudden rule she just heard of, who in the world does that? and why has he been trying to get on her nerves?.

“That’s completely sick Hardin” she replied dryly..

Hardin ignored her little protests and returned his attention to Chris who looked a little lost in this conversation.

“And that rule applies to everyone irrespective of their status, so I guess it’s time for you to go, one more minute here, and she gets punished for breaking this rule”

Chris sighed in defeat and walked over to the dining where he had kept his jacket earlier on, he returned back shortly and faced Alexa offering a smile..

“I’m sorry I have to leave since my stay here is against the rules, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning and if possible have lunch together at the office and dinner at my place”

“Sounds like a plan” Alexa affirmed and waved at him until he disappeared behind the closed door..

The smile on her face disappeared completely when she heard a snort behind her..

She turned swiftly to him with an annoyed expression..

“You had no right, no right at all to walk into my home and chase out my guest just because you made up a dumb rule to-

“Who is he?” He asked curtly crossing his arm over his chest. “And why do you think it was okay to bring him home? he doesn’t look like a good man, and he certainly has some ulterior motives behind-

“Get out” She ordered calmly with a straight face leaving Hardin speechless at her blatant request..

“What? are you seriously asking me to leave? but it was okay for him to spend twenty minutes or more with you?”

Alexa gave a firm nod, honestly, none of his behaviors right now made enough sense to her, he was acting like a jealous boyfriend when he had a girlfriend..

“Have you forgotten? no guys allowed, or does this rule only applies to other guys? and not you?”

“Yes, no guys are allowed except me Alexa”

Bianca rubbed her palm against her black jean pants nervously, she accepted the glass of water offered to her by Xander..

“Uh thanks” she murmured shying away from his intense gaze..

“Tell me if you need anything else.. I’ll be with you shortly”

He planted a kiss on her lips and made his way back to the kitchen to continue making dinner for the both of them..

Bianca brought the glass to her lips taking a sip of the clear liquid, she placed it down on the table before her and took her time to get familiarized with her surroundings..

Though this wasn’t the first time that she was visiting his house, the last time she was here, they had used his room to watch the movie planned by Xander..

She sprang up to her feet scanning the different eye catching paintings and furnitures used to decorate the living room..

“Not bad” she murmured beneath her breath running her finger on a gold statue of a lady on a bikini..

“What are you doing?”

Startled, she turned around to find a pair of blue eyes pinning her down, but not the one she was very familiar with..

“Oh hi, Charles.. uh I didn’t hear you walking in”

Charles offered her a polite smile which turned into a frown the moment Xander suddenly showed up wrapping an arm around Bianca’s slender waist, he pulled her closer to himself marking his territory..

“Hey little bro, I wasn’t informed that we were expecting a guest in the house today.. just to be clear, I’m not leaving the house for you both to do some bad stuffs, I’m just trying to prevent what happened twenty eight years ago to repeat itself”

Bianca’s cheeks flamed up, she of course knew where Charles words were pointing at, and she couldn’t help but wonder what happened twenty eight years ago..

She hadn’t been born yet at that time…

“What? I can bring my girl to my house whenever I want and I don’t need your permission to do so, and what happened twenty eight years ago?”

Charles crossed his arm over his chest staring meaningfully at his cousin who wasn’t getting the whole twenty years ago thingy..

“You were born then and we know how that turned out to be for everyone of us” he mocked..

Xander pointed a finger at Charles face ready to lash out but he found no words to direct at him, he simply scoffed and walked away with Bianca back to the kitchen..

“How could he say that? he was only a day old before I was born..”

Bianca leaned over the kitchen island watching Xander chop the tomatoes skillfully, she winked teasingly at him enjoying his sour expression..

“Have anyone ever told you that you look hot when you wear an apron?”

“That’s a lie.. you should see him wearing a pink skirt” Charles imputed as he casually strolled into the kitchen, he picked a red apple from a bowl of fruit resting on the island and slowly backed away from the kitchen smiling from ear to ear in victory..

Bianca’s hands went over her lips to hide her small laughs from bursting out..

“You find this funny? really? I can’t believe this. I’ve said several jokes to you but you didn’t laugh this much” Xander complained with a small frown..

“I just find it cute picturing you on a pink skirt.. but don’t worry you’re still cute now”
