Return To Rexor's Residence

"The Doctor told me earlier that we are free to check out Althea. I already went to the billing section and paid all the bills. Do you need something to buy? Cause you know we can drop first to the mall before taking home." Auntie inform me as soon as she arrive here in the hospital.

"No. If possible, I want to drop all the things at home first. Maybe I can ask a favor to Rexor to buy at the store if I need anything."

"Okay, by the way, are you done? Rexor went to the parking lot first. He brought some of your things already." "Here, let me carry this bag" then she pull the bag from my hand but I didn't give it to her.

"Its okay. You already have a lot of things in your hands. I can handle it and beside, this is not heavy so it's really okay." but she loosen my fingers and pull it anyway.

"I want you to bring your little child only Althea. Don't bother me. Let me remind you that you have to take care of yourself. No need to stress out because you are far to heal yet." she reprimanded me like a true mother then we went out from the room. I am always thankful to have them in my life.

We use the elevator taking down to the parking lot. Not too far away, I saw Rexor leaning comfortably on his car. Auntie called her to get his attention and as soon as he saw us, he walk towards to our direction and help her mother to put all the things at the back.

Auntie seated at the back while carrying my child. She insisted that I have to take my sit beside to Rexor and his son also agreed. I think Auntie is always having fun with Prince Paul. She always volunteered to take care of him when we were in the hospital for the remaining days before we checked out.

We traveled almost half an hour before we got home. As soon as we arrived, Rexor went out from his car and went to my side to open the door then he assist his mother right after.

"I will bring all the things inside. You can go first." he said.

"Aunt Altheaaaa!" his younger sister shouted from the front door then run fastly to our direction. "Can I see the baby?" she said excitedly.

"Oh..oh...oh... wait until Aunt Althea can go inside. Anyway, you have the entire day with Prince Paul. It's not like they will go anywhere today, tommorow and the following days." Aunt commented while her daughter pull her right hand and bring to her forehead as a sign of respect.

"Give me your baby Althea. You can change your clothes first. Anyways, it Rexor's day off today."

"Thank you." I said then handle Prince Paul to Auntie "It will take few minutes only. I will be back soon."

"You take your time dear. No need to hurry. We are here and we are not busy." she said without looking to my direction instead she joyfully played the nose of my child.

"Auntieeeee? I shouted as soon as I opened the door in the guest room. "Who's luggages are these?" I asked confusely when I saw two huge luggages leaned in the bed.

"Oh! Did he put it here? I told him to put it inside Rexor's room. Maybe he got confused which between the two rooms is his cousin's room. Don't worry, I will let Rexor to move it out later." she answered while standing behind me with Prince Paul in her hands.

"Who do you mean?" I asked while facing her now.

"Chris Paul. Oh! Now I realize, your baby's name is sounded almost the same with my niece. Prince Paul. Chris Paul." she stated innocently.

Now I start getting nervous. I don't want them to know who is the father of the child. I don't want them to know the story behind us. And basically, Paul and me were done long time ago. No need to bring the past again.

"He will stay here." it was like stating a fact rather than a question.

"Yes! But as of now, he travel somewhere because of some important matters. He will return here tommorow."

"And why he will stay here?" I asked in a loud voice unknowingly.

"Because his parents trusted us Althea. And we are his only relatives who are living here. So basically, he will stay here for the whole year."

"WHOLE YEAR?" I utter the words in a louder tone. And why he will stay here longer?

"Yes. For the whole year. Why? What's the problem of staying Chris Paul here?" she asked in a worried voice.

"I mean..... why the whole year? Why is he staying here long? What will he do then?" I asked while slightly moved my two shoulders up like finding an answer for all of my questions.

"I'm not sure. But anyways, we can ask him tommorow if he will be back." Auntie slowly push me inside the room. "Right now, you need to change your clothes. Don't wait for your child to wake up." then she pull the door knob and close the door. "Say bye to your mommy. Bye bye!"

I walk to the closet annoyingly. I pull my favorite white dress with a big panda design in the front and throw it in the bed out of frustration. I pull my loose shirt out to my head to change and walk towards the bed where I throw my dress earlier.

"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole You're fu****ng asshole! Damn you!" I said repeatedly while kicking the huge luggage in the bed side. "You're asshole! I hate you! I really really hate you! Arrgggggh.. ...Ouch!" I stop then slightly bend when my stitches pains. I bit my lips while enduring the unpleasant dull pain in my stomach. I don't still have my upper cloth when suddenly the door open widely.

"What happened?" they both asked in a concerned voice.

"Oh my God Althea! Why you are not wearing anything." Rexor asked confuse on what is happening but he turned his back immediately. Realization came back to me when my eyes went down and saw that I'm just wearing my black brassiere. But when my eyes darted back to the door, Chris Paul is still staring to my direction.

"Pervert!" I commented while too annoyed of him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." he said while turning his back like what Rexor did. But I still saw him chuckled. I hurriedly pull the white dress and put it inside my head.

"You don't know how to knock." I said in irritated tone while I put my dirty clothes in the basket.

"We're sorry but we run here immediately from the living room when we thought we heared you while shouting." Rexor explained trying to defend his self. I didn't say anything to let him continue speaking.

"What happened? We heared you uttering some bad words?" Rexor asked again while entering the room. Paul also followed him.

"Did you? But I didn't. I'm just changing my clothes while talking to myself about .....about...." I said but I can't think anything for an alibi.

"We heard it clearly. I heared you saying asshole multiple times. We thought something is wrong here." Paul replied to support Rexor that they heared it right.

"I'm not talking to you. And what the hell? Why you are entering to my room? I didn't tell you guys to come inside as far as I can remember." I didn't care at all if I sounded cruel right now. Rexor's expression starts to show he didn't like my guts today. He gave me a questioning look.

"I have to pull over my things if you don't mind. I thought it is his room." he simply said while pulling his two luggages out the room. "Or unless, you want me stay here. With you!" he continued while smiling cheapishly.

"How about I will throw your things out the window?" I asked to insult him. But he doesn't seems affected even a little bit.

"Okay. Okay. Stop. I don't know what the problem between the both of you. You always seems to fight if you are together. Okay now, I want to apologize if we disturbed you earlier. But trust as, we didn't mean it. Mom told us to check you because she was worried also. As of now, we will move his things to my room and you may go to the living room first and mom ask you to take a snack with us." Rexor said while to calm me down.

"Tsk." I commented annoyingly and left them first.

"You're here! What happened? We heared you shouted earlier?" she asked as soon as I sit on the love chair. She hand me a bread with green leafy vegetables in the middle. Prince Paul is still sleeping in his small rocking crib beside auntie. While her daughter is sneaking happily to my baby.

"Oh! It's nothing. It was because when I pull out my shirt, I accidentally hit my wound." I lied then started biting my bread.

"Be careful next time. By the way, where are the two boys?"

"Rexor is helping Paul moving his things. By the way, if you won't mind, I thought you said earlier that Paul is supposed to ba back here tommorow and not today. Why is he here?"

"Ask him." then aunt pointed out Rexor and Paul walking to our direction.

"No it's okay. It doesn't matter anyway." I said then I slightly move at the center so that I cannot let him sit beside me. Rexor already occupied the other vacant lounge chair. But unluckily, the only vacant is in my side.

"Mind to move a little bit?" he asked in a whisper tone even though the other people can still here him.
