Living In A Shell

CHAPTER 11: PATRICIA LOUIS MONTEMAR FOTTRELL

ALEX (POV)

"You look like you're happy on what you've been doing." Someone murmur behind me that even though I can't see who is it yet I can recognize his voice. "What are you cooking?" Sai added when I didn't bother to look back but I just shrug my shoulders as a responses.

"Can you blend this for me?" I said as I gave him the two bowls of oranges and apples that he accepts it whole-heartedly. "That's odd." I whispered as I raised my brow.

If there's a place in this house that Sai hated the most that would be the kitchen. Don't get me wrong okay. Sai knows how to cook, it's just that he's not so fund on doing it. He prepares to make a restaurant order rather than to drag his ass on the kitchen to cook his own food. Such a lazy bastard. "I can be nice sometimes you know." He answer and gave me his signature smirk that makes my forehead wrinkles in amusement then mouthed the word 'as you wish' to him.

"Soooo...... What can you say about the issue of 'Zedric and Drew move in with us' do you think it's a good idea?" Sai blabbing suddenly. "You're becoming a gossiper you know." I said mockingly but he just shrugs his shoulder.

Seriously? That doesn't cross my mind. I didn't plan any of these you know. Talking about Brian, Zed, Drew, Logan and Hanz leaving in one roof. That's a chaos. Knowing that they all hard to handle. I don't know. I really don't know. It wasn't in my plan at all.

I can't ventilate what I'm feeling right now. I feel exhausted? Chirpy? Bleak? Tsk. I shook my head and sighed heavily.

Maybe I just go with the flow? Or Maybe I can do the plan B? Or.......

"ALEXXXXX! PATRICIA IS ON THE LINE! SHE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!" Hanz shouted cheerfully which made me back from reality. And I can tell that his running down the stairs based on his audible noise from his heavy footsteps which what I heard.

But wait.... What did he just said?

I dart my gaze to Sai abruptly who was also looking at me whose face was filled with confusion and questions at the same time. Because we all know that Patricia would not call if it was not important unless something unexpected happened.

"Oh. Hi there. Did I interrupt something?" Because of thinking too much I did not realize that Hanz was already here which made me dart my gaze on him and I raised my brow when I saw him biting his lip while holding his laptop. "What?" I ask annoyingly but he just gave me a weak smile which made me frown.

"Good morning too." He said mockingly.

Hanz approach me while smiling. He laid the laptop on table. "What?" I ask again. Hanz just shook his head then turn the laptop for me and leave immediately.

"Oh my God Alex! How are you? I heard that you're at the Philippines right now. Is it true that Brian is there? Where is....."

"Hey! Slowdown there you idiot." I hissed in annoyance that made her pout. "What do you want?" I ask sternly.

"Seriously Alex? You don't need to be rude everytime you know."

"What do you want?" I ask again "Don't play mind games with me Patricia." I'm really trying my best to be nice you know.

"Don't give me that cold voice Alex. And pleaseee loosen up a bit okay." Pat said exaggerated while flipping her hand in the air. "Being grumpy all the time just made you older in no time." Patricia added as she waves her hands in various movements.

"You're older than me." I said while pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Only one year Alex!"
