My Ex Next Door

Midnight…

Kirby has been awake since the triplets and Selena went to his bedroom. Just the thought of having Selena in his room was giving him a hard time.

He avoided her as much as possible but, after today, seeing her wearing his shirt made him realized that she's a grown woman.

He brushed a hand on his face to remove her figure in his head, Nathan had warned him to stay away from Selena to avoid hurting her but, he just couldn't. He knows it's creepy but, could not help himself but check on her. Make sure that she gets to her school safe, and that she got home in one piece.

He closed his laptop and throws it aside, he couldn't sleep, not because he was not used of sleeping in the couch but, more of the other people's presence in his house.

"Kirby, It's 2 in the morning, why are you not sleeping?" a voice spoke from somewhere.

Kirby emitted a long sighed when he heard Selena's voice. He cleared his throat and turned his head around to look at the bedroom's direction.

"I had some work to do. Why are you awake?" he asked.

Selena sat next to him and went under his blanket. When he felt her knee brushed against his leg, he gulped and moved aside.

"Should we watch something?" Selena spoke and picked up the remote. The television played an animal mating which made their situation awkward.

Selena immediately turned the television off and got up, due to her previous position with her legs crossed, she lost her balance and fell down.

The shirt she was wearing lifted and showed her underwear. Selena could feel her cheeks burning in embarrassment.

(Why? Why did I wear a polka dot underwear?) she yelled at herself.

Her plan was to go to her father in Paris so she decided to wear the clothes and underwear she'll be comfortable with, if she only knew that this would have happened, she would have wear seductive underwear.

Selena adjusted the shirt to cover her bottom and sank her face on the floor in embarrassment.

"Are you ok?" she could hear the concern in Kirby's voice as he speaks.

"Yes. Did you see it?" she asked.

"You mean the polka dots underwear?" hearing those words, Selena wanted nothing but to die.

(This underwear looked my grandmother's undies) she wanted to cry but she tried to fight her tears back.

She got up as if nothing happened and went back to the chair.

"Kirby..." she spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes?"

"Do you love your girlfriend?" she looked at him as she speaks. She wanted to see his reaction when he gives the answer.

But Kirby went silent, he had both eyes staring at her intensely.

When he didn't respond, she continued, "It just that, I didn't saw any of her pictures here" she strumbled as she speaks.

"I, well," she could see him searching for a word to say, the face he had made her realized the truth.

"You don't love her, do you?" a small smile was on her lips as she asked the question.

And Kirby's lips were sealed once again.

"Let me change that question" At that moment, the small smile she had on her lips shifted in playful as she moves closer to Kirby.

"Do you have feelings for me? or should I ask, do you love me?" her voice was deeply seductive as she speaks. Inside, her heart was striking so fast but, outside she tried to compose her confident pose

"Well, I" Kirby was like a three-year-old kid learning how to speak.

She gazed at him, she has been wanting to ask that question since she was ten but, she knows it's not the right time so she waited and waited until one day, she found out that he has a girlfriend.

If Kirby just showed a little affection to his girlfriend, she will walk away but, the reaction he had when she mentioned his girlfriend was not an expression of the man who's in love, unlike all the people she knows.

When she saw his pupil dilated as she asked the question, she already confirmed his feeling before his lips could say it.

Selena shook her head, she giggled seductively and whispered,

"Shut up" and to make sure he does, Selena pushed his body to the couch and sealed their lips before he could say a word.

Kirby was astonished by Selena's action, he put both hands on her shoulder and pushed her away.

"Selena, don't do this, you're father's gonna kill me" his eyes were wide opened as he speaks.

"Kirby, I am using all the courage I have been storing since i was only a fetus so, don't ruin it because I love you. Now, I don't care if you don't love me but, I will get what I want and I always do" when she was about to move closer, Kirby avoided her lips and got up.

He put both hands on her shoulder and stared at her deeply.

"Selena, I don't want to hurt you so please-" he was interrupted when Selena put a finger on his lips.

"No, Kirby, I am fine being the other woman, we just need to make sure no one is ever gonna find out about us. We need to get different phones where we can communicate secretly. Also an apartment we can stay and oh! Oh! We need to make sure that the apartment is not under our names so they can't trace us back. Maybe a place next to your work so you don't need to waste time traveling. Or maybe we can ask my uncle Evan to give us a room in the building but, of course, we need to ask the security team to remove the surveillance camera to avoid gossip. So when do you want to move in?" Selena spoke without breathing.

Instead of replying, Kirby bursts out laughing, his head shook in disbelief with all the words Selena were saying.

"You want to be my mistress?" he asked in amusement.

"Mistress? No, I want to be your 'other woman' not a mistress, there's a difference. Mistress is known to be a bitch but the other woman is… someone you love" Selena replied.

Kirby laughed once again, tears formed in his eyes as his body shook in laughter.

"What makes you think I love you?" he asked in a serious tone.

"Everyone loves me. They need too" Selena replied boastfully.

Kirby sighed and held her hands.

"You are not going to be my mistress or my other woman. You don't deserve that name so give me time to break off my relationship with Athena and I will talk to your father because if he finds out that you stay in my apartment he's gonna kill my whole family including my cat. So, go back to the room before we do something we will both regret" he tried to push her out of the couch slowly but, the woman removed his hand from pushing her shoulder and sat back.

"You don't need to talk to my father. If you make me pregnant, he will not have a choice than to accept our relationship right?" Selena held both of his hand and spoke in her casual tone.

"That's a brilliant idea, but I don't want our future kid to be fatherless so go back to the bed and lock the room" he pushed her once again and this time Selena got up in a heavy foot.

"How long have you been there Alexa?" Kirby turned to the direction where Selena was looking and found Alexa standing by the open bedroom door with a blanket in her hand.

"Since you two kissed. I am thirsty and I didn't want to disturb you because mommy said not to disturb the adult when they are talking seriously. So, can I have some water" Kirby and Selena looked at each other in a surprise. Inside, they both pray that Alexa will not twist her tongue and spill what she saw today.

"Sure, let's go" Selena walked to Alexa and held her hand. Shortly after, they bid their goodnight to Kirby and went off to sleep.
