Your Ordinary Love Story: Gifts Of Wine and Roses

19. The plan.

"Happiness is a choice, a repetitive one."

And that I shall do. But that shall wait. A brother needs help.

My help. My brother.

"I want to help, really. But Dad forbids us to go near you." I reasoned. "Me being near you, us, he hates it." I added.

Me and my sister is here to help Alex, My brother. Twin brother, to be precise.

Uncanny resemblance, my brother and I have. I mean, you can't tell us apart. The face structure, jaw line, eyes, body build, height. You name it, we both have it. Besides the small tattoo I got on my back, we can trick anyone, besides our father, of course.

"And I am not expecting you need my help, to be honest. If it was this sister of ours asked me, I would be able to believe it. But you? You were despised by our father, stripped you of your riches but now makes the same money we do, and you ask for help?"

I mean seriously? Alex Eric Dacena, asks for my help? Our help even.

"You can't possibly ask for our help regarding financial problems. I won't believe you even have them." Alexys said.

Alexys Erica Dacena. My... other twin. Yes, Dacena triplets. She also looks like us. In a creepy way, as well. I mean She looks exactly like us... but more womanly. Same hair color, facial structure but with a more feminine buid.

"Financially? No. I make more money than you guys do in a year." He said.

"By a cent." I looked away, drinking whiskey from my glass.

"There's this... lady. Girl, even." He said.

"Oh my God. A girl?! Don't tell me you're into young minor girls!" Alexys said with shock in her voice.

"What? No! Ew! She's not a young, she's my age... I think. I don't know." He defended himself.

"Well, if it's a girl you're worried about, ask Deatric over here. He knows them better than I know my own femininity. "

"Oh, shut up, Erica." I rolled my eyes. She always try her very best to piss the living crap out of me by calling me by my second name, Deatric.

Axel Deatric Dacena. That's me. The youngest of the three attractive little pigs. Can't say much about me, other than that women do indeed like me. Making me the most knowledgeable among us when it comes to women and how they act.

"So, you like women, huh? I really thought you were gay." I told him.

He can't blame me. Bro's never had a girlfriend.

"What the hell, do you mean by that?" He asked, getting pissed.

"You never had a girlfriend!" I reasoned.

"Yeah, cause I was too busy getting kicked out of the house, being despised by Dad, working and studying my ass off just to make a living."

Point.

"Okay, let me help. How did you meet her? What does she look like? Her attitudes and attributes?" I asked.

"Well, it was after graduation day. You guys weren't there to even see me on stage. So I got pissed and wanted to drink my ass off. Then I bumped into this girl. She was small, with fiery, fierce and feisty attitude. Brown hair and really gorgeous. But I got too much in my head that time that I wasn't able to introduce myself properly." Alex explained.

"Three F's, that's interesting. That's rare that you just bump into one. You get her number?" I was amazed. If he isn't dreaming, he may have hit the jackpot.

"No..." He drank.

I looked at him with disbelief. A staff of mine called me, informed me that there was a bit of a snug in a bar that I own. "Sorry to cut this short but, I need to be going. I will keep a look out for a small, brown-haired, three F'ed girl for you, though." I said then waved goodbye before leaving his mansion.

How did he even get a mansion? Not to brag, but mine's bigger though.

I own a bar, pretty much the same as the ones Alex and Alexys own. We all own a bar. Mine is more of a club, actually. Handles more of the party side. Alex' bar focuses more on alcohol and beverages. Alexys' bar focuses more on the music side, since she's in a band. We started helping each other out the moment we opened up our bars. Alexys helps us with the music, Alex with the drinks, and me on the staff and catering.

Basically the money just gets bigger and bigger by helping each other. No one loses, we all win.

I've been pretty much everywhere and have seen no one like Alex describes. I'm starting to think that maybe he was just dreaming.

All this hard work he's doing finally drives him crazy.

Well that was until I visited this coffee shop called 'Ground up'.

I was minding some business matters in my laptop and this waiter walks up to me to get my order.

"Good morning, sir! May I take your-" She stopped and looked at me with her pissed eyes piercing at me.

"Ikaw nanaman?!" She said with anger in her voice.

"Excuse me?" I asked. I don't know her, so why is she talking to me as if I know her and I did something bad?

"Ano? 'Di mo na ako tanda? Ang yabang mo talaga eh, noh?" She said.

Oh my...

Three F's.

"O-oh yeah, I remember you. Can I take my order now?" I said, just to get out of the situation. Of course I gave her my order.

Could she be the one Alex was talking about?

She clearly remembers me... or someone who looked like me.

I secretly took a picture of her and sent it to my brother.

To My Rich Older Twin Brother:

This her?

I texted him.

He replied a few seconds later.

From My Rich Older Twin Brother:

Yeah. Where'd you find her?

I gave him my location. She later came with my order. "Enjoy your food, sir!" She said, still with anger.

I said thanks and went on my merry way.

I get why my dear brother likes her. She got attitudes and attributes. If anyone can pull off someone like her, it'll be him. He's got a plan. I know it.

Well, at least now I know he's actually not gay.
