My Ex Next Door

Ken was in the middle of his shower when he heard a familiar voice. He rushed and left the bathroom and saw the triplets sitting in the living room with their books opened, while Matthew was sitting on the couch, his body leaned back in the couch with his hands behind his head and feet on the desk, as if it was his house.

"Matthew, what are you doing here?" Ken asked in confusion the man looked at him and got up.

"I want to ask you the same thing" Matthew spoke in tease and widened his arms, asking for a hug

Ken darkened his expression and glared at him.

"I am not giving you a hug" he spoke in disgust, Matthew shrugged his shoulder and sat back.

"fine. Your lost"

Ken crossed his arms and waited for Matthew to answer his question and seems like the man was able to pick up his gesture.

"I am here to look after the triplets. Daniella threatened me saying she will not give my wife back if you don't apologize" Matthew spoke casually.

"Leo get me a popcorn" Matthew ordered the boy who was busy reading. Leo looked at him and pout his lips.

"I am reading uncle Matt." The boy declines. Matthew was about to ask Alexa when the girl stick out her tongue at him.

Matthew exhaled and turned to Ethan

"Tan" he called out his name. The boy looked at him and fixes his glass.

"I will, but can you buy me this?" Ethan spoke and handed a piece of paper to Matthew.

Matthew looked at it and twitched his lips.

He got up while shaking his head, "Is this the recipe for your smoke bomb again Ethan?" Matthews asked. The boy nodded and smiled.

"Then no, I prefer to get myself a popcorn than to buy these. If your mother finds out she might shove that bomb in my mouth" then Matthew walks to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Ken followed him.

"I will not apologize to her. She's the one that needs to apologize to me" Ken blurted.

Matthew opened the cabinet one by one looking for snacks but there's nothing.

"two things, Ken" Matthew started and shifted his body, facing Ken.

"first. If you don't apologize to her. You will look after the triplets for the rest of your life and of course that includes me since your witch crazy sister locks my hot wife in her mansion" Matthew paused and crossed his arms.

"second, what kind of house is this? There's nothing but vegetables and can food in this house" Matthew turned his back and opened the refrigerator.

Ken massaged his temples and ignored Matthew's complain.

"I can look after the triplets. I don't have a problem with that" Ken spoke casually and opened the cabinet next to the stove.

He grabbed a beer and throws it at Matthew. The man immediately caught it.

"Oh! please, Ken, tell me you're kidding. You don't know that three kids. Just imagine, you have three Daniella in the house. One brat who complained about everything, One who keeps on hurting and running around the house, and the other who will keep you awake at night just to discuss why the earth is round. Believe me Ken, those three kids, they are not normal" Matthew's deep tone made Ken creased his brows in confusion. Thinking the man is exaggerating.

"since you're here to look after the triplets. I will go to my girlfriend's house" Ken put his beer down and left the kitchen.

In the McSalter house.

Novie blows a deep sighed after she checked her student's papers, not even half got the correct answer.

She was sitting on the chair behind her desk while all papers and books piled up.

(Goodness! so much work) she complained inside.

As she was about to get another paper, the door opened. She turned back and saw Ken.

"your father's calling you" Ken spoke while his head peeps on the small open space of the door.

"come in" Novie invited him but Ken shook his head

"I don't think it' a good idea, your father asked me to get you while he's holding a bat so we should go before he smashed my head." Ken smiled awkwardly.

Novie giggled and stood up. They walked downstairs with her hand wrapped around his arm.

"Pa. Do you really need to scare him?" Novie scolded her father.

Angelo twitched his lips and jammed the bat under the couch.

"I was planning to bring you tomorrow for fishing but I have other things to do," Angelo stated while looking at Ken.

Ken nodded while a strange feeling was pounding his heart. Now that everyone knows about their relationship he somehow feels unease.

"let's go to your place" Novie spoke and dragged Ken out of the house. Before they reached the door Ken stopped her.

"I think we better stay here. We can watch the news here" Ken scratches his hair, feeling awkward.

Meanwhile, Novie giggled and pinched his arm, seeing Ken scratching his head like a teenager is too cute.

"fine let's go" she pulled him and sat on the couch.

In Ander's house

After Ken left. The triplets looked at each other. Then Leo got up from the couch and accepted the syringe that Ethan secretly handed

Leo winked at Ethan and went behind his uncle Matthew who was lying on the couch with his legs crossed and shaking.

"Uncle Matt. Are you sleepy?" Leo asked. He was standing at the end of the couch behind Matthew's head

"no" Matthew replied, his hand was busy tapping screen of his phone.

Leo peeps over and saw Peyton's photo.

"isn't aunt Peyton?" Leo asked.

"ah uh!" Matthew groaned in a bored tone.

"you see this" Matthew zoomed in the photo showing Peyton's breast

"her boobs are bigger than your mom's" Matthew spoke in a proud tone while his lips grinned.

Leo's small face darkened and immediately injected the syringe in his neck. Matthew widened his eyes and looked at Leo in shock.

"don't stare at my mommy's body again. I will tell this to my dad" then Leo pulled the syringe out and went back to his chair in big steps

As he sat down, his dark expression shifted in excitement

Alexa closed her book and took out the pink notebook in her bag. She sat in between Ethan and Leo with the black pen in her hand

"ok, so what's the plan?" Alexa asked and ready her hand to write their 'plan'.

Ethan opened his small spiral notebook and showed it to them.

"The plan is to inject a virus to the Principal that will make him sick, I found some mosquitoes around the school we can use. But my problem is how we can catch them and where to put them without him noticing it" Ethan scratches his hair while his lips twitched, annoyed that he could not figure out a way to get the mosquitoes.

Leo narrowed his eyes, "maybe we can use bees to attack him" he suggested.

Both Ethan and Alexa looked at him, emotionless.

"If we can't catch mosquitoes, how are we going to catch the bees?" Alexa spoke in sarcasm.

Leo nodded and understand what she meant.

The living room quiets down while Matthew fell asleep after Leo inject the sedative to him.

"Oh, I know!" Alexa exclaimed and broke the silence.

The two boys looked at her In confusion.

"we can put a lot of laxative to his drink. It's easier to bring and give to the principal." Alexa got up and walks back and forth in front of her brother,

excitement sparkled her green eyes.

"I didn't bring laxative with me. I only have sedatives" Ethan replied and grabbed Alexa's hand, stopping her from moving around.

"Don't worry my dear womb-mate, I can ask my servant Brent to buy one for us" she winked her round eyes and grabbed her phone from the table to send Brent a message.
