The Story Of Us

12

---Alex's POV---
I approached Justine's old house and took a look at it. My contractor was waiting for me to come and take a look at the damages.

"So," The contractor stated. "I suggest we tear everything down and rebuild it. We make it look like it came from the 1800s by using the original blueprints from city hall and rebuild the house with modern appliances, plumbing, and electrical work. I am surprised that anyone was allowed to live here."

"Alright," I stated. "Tear it down."

"We need the signature for the owner." The contractor stated. "Justine Jung.... Or is it Jung Justine?"

"I thought her last name was Ezarik?" I asked. The contractor read over the paperwork.

"You're right," My contractor stated. "It's Ezarik. It's just that her married name was Jung." I looked at the paperwork.

"I'll get her to sign off on this." I stated.

Later, I got home to see Justine on the couch rubbing her bump. I couldn't believe that the triplets were 25 weeks along already. I walked over and sat next to Justine.

"Hey babe," Justine stated. "What's up?"

"Not much." I replied. I took Justine's hand.

"Whatcha got there?" Justine asked, pointing to the paperwork in my hands.

"So," I replied. "I was going to surprise you by renovating your house. However, it needs to be torn down and rebuilt."

"Okay," Justine stated. "Go ahead and tear it down."

"We can't unless we get your authorization." I stated. I handed Justine the paperwork. Justine took it and read everything over.

"Pen please." Justine stated. I handed Justine my pen and she signed off on the teardown.

"That was easier than I thought." I stated.

"The sooner I let that house go," Justine stated. "The sooner I can move on with my life."

"You really want to let go of it?" I asked. Justine took my hands and placed them on her bump.

"I have something better." Justine stated. "The longer I hold onto my past life, the harder it is for me to be present for my new family. Do you get what I'm saying love?" I smiled at Justine and began to tear up.

"I'm sorry," I stated. "You're the best." I kissed Justine's forehead and hugged her. Justine got up and stretched.

"I'm going for a swim in the pool." Justine stated. "I could use some exercise and it's hot in here."

"Okay," I stated. "Be careful. I love you."

"I love you too." Justine stated. Justine walked outside. I smiled and stood up. I suddenly got a notification on my phone. I pulled my phone out and looked to see I was tagged in an article.

WASSABI PRODUCTIONS CEO SECRET BABY MAMA?!

I checked to see if the article was about Roi or I. It was definitely about Justine and I. Someone from the "Escape the Night" set told someone from DeFranco News about Justine and I. I checked the article to see who told Philip about my private life.

"James...." I mumbled.

---Justine's POV---
I walked into the house after relaxing in the pool to see Alex in distraught. I walked over to Alex and took his hand.

"What's wrong love?" I asked. Alex sighed and wrapped his arms around me and sighed in frustration.

"I suspect James told the world about us." Alex stated. "DeFranco News made a whole article about us." I sighed in frustration.

"This was why I didn't want to pursue a relationship with you." I stated. "It was stupid of me to pursue a relationship. People are going to call me a gold digger because I'm with you."

"You aren't a gold digger." Alex stated. "You literally find the cheapest things on the menu when we go out. You don't ask me for a dime if you buy something for yourself, and even if it's for the babies, you buy it yourself."

"Just clothes and toys." I stated.

"Still," Alex stated. "You aren't a gold digger." Alex hugged me and kissed the top of my head and knelt down to kiss my bump. Alex placed his ear against my bump and hugged it.

"Why don't we go clear it up?" I asked.

"Clear our relationship up?" Alex asked. "How?"

"We go on a talk show not owned by Wassabi Productions." I suggested.

"Can't." Alex stated. "It would look bad."

"It would look worse if we went on a Wassabi Productions show." I stated. Alex sighed and rubbed my bump.

"I know a talkshow host from outside the studio," Alex stated. "Let's see if his studio will let us on."

"Alright," I stated. "Let's clear the air." Alex stood up and kissed me.

"I'm going to make some calls," Alex stated. "And when I get back, I am so going to drool over you in that swim suit because you look so damn sexy in it and I can't help but admire you in it."

"I know you want it." I stated. Alex gave me a long kiss before going to the study. I chuckled, sat down on the couch, and went to read the article.

"The Bachelor of Wassabi Productions," The article stated. "Alex Burriss, was seen walking out of an OBY/GN doctor with an unidentified blonde woman Thursday afternoon. The woman appeared to be 35 weeks pregnant and could pop any day now. Sources say that the woman was after Burriss' money and the baby couldn't possibly be Burriss' baby." I screamed in frustration. Why do people assume I love Alex for his money? I may not be the richest person on the planet, but I am not a gold digger. Alex walked out of the study.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked.

"This article claims I'm 35 weeks," I grumbled. "And the babies aren't yours. The babies are yours and I'm only 25 weeks along. There's more than one baby in here. You saw it, I saw it and fainted--"

"Don't worry love," Alex stated. "I am going to clear everything tomorrow morning. Are you coming with me?" I nodded.

"What time?" I asked.

"We're on at 7AM." Alex stated. Alex kissed me and smiled.

"Okay." I stated.
