“Krystal Mia is here!!!” Ken’s loud voice alerted. Alexa and Ethan who heard this opened their closed eyes in fear. They quic-kly stood up ti-ght. They were so nervous.
“Uh… I’m gonna go now. Seems Krystal is here” Ethan coughed trying to dodge their eye contact
“Yeah. You’re right” She replied back.
“Huh… You know her right?”
“Yeah.. Sure.. Sure, I do” Alexa replied.
“I’m gonna leave now. You’re coming right?”
“Yeah. Uhh… After you” Alexa said.
“Okay” Ethan replied and walked away.
Immediately, He was gone. Alexa breathed in heavily.
Seriously, This was a big deal!. Her nervousness almost killed her. She left the room slowly and walked to the sitting room.
There, She saw Krystal Mia, She was a beauty to behold. Now, She knew why they called her “Beauty Queen”. She was seated discussing with Ken and Eric. She looked forward and smiled after seeing Ethan who c@m£ forward.
“Oh.. Ethan? Where were you?” Her cute voice asked.
“I’ve been around. How are you doing?” He asked sitting down. He took the couch’s soft pillow and placed it on his l@p.
“I’m good. Is that the Alex you talked about?” She asked smiling. She looked at Alexa who re-moved her gaze quic-kly.
“What? You talked about me?” Alexa asked surprised. Ethan bec@m£ embarras-sed and shifted his face from them. Krystal Mia smiled.
“Yeah. He did, Oh…Don’t worry. He only said good things about you” She replied
“Really? I was thinking otherwise. By the way, What did he say about me?” Alexa asked as the others looked on hearing their discussion.
“He said he got a new house keeper by name Alex. He also praised you and all that” Krystal Mia replied. Alexa chuckled and blu-shed a bit. She looked at Ethan who was still facing the other side out of embarras-sment.
“By the way, Alex…I’m Krystal Mia, You know me right?” She introduced standing up. She stretched her hand towards Alexa who smiled.
Suddenly, A flash of memory c@m£ into Alexa’s mind. She remembered when Krystal Mia sat on Ethan legs in the MV and how their even had ro-mantic scenes!!!. The smile on Alexa’s face started disappearing slowly. She scoffed loudly and placed her arms akimbo.
“I didn’t ask you” Alexa replied.
“Huh? Softball? She’s Krystal.. Your number 1 celeb! Have you forgotten?” Ken whispered
“She isn’t my celebrity neither am I a fan. I don’t know you” Alexa said rudely.
“Huh? I’m just trying to be friendly” Krystal Mia explained
“I don’t wanna know you so don’t bother being friendly” Alexa retorted
“Actually, Ken told me you liked my Music..Are you sure you are the one he talked about?”
“I’m not!”
“No. Don’t mind her. He is the one! What has come over you, Softball?” Ken asked
“Nothing. I changed.. Yeah, It’s true.. I liked you before but not anymore”
“Why? Did I do something wrong?” Krystal Mia asked surprised and confused
“Yes! No… I mean No” Alexa stuttered.
“You’re quite funny and confusing too” Krystal Mia giggled.
“What? Excuse me?” Alexa asked with a frown.
“Ken told me you wanted my Autogra-ph. So, I made one specially for you” Krystal Mia said opening her purse. She brou-ght out a white paper and on it was her Autogra-ph Signature with a Note which said thus;
I love you, Fan Alex ♡.
She gave it to Alexa who reluctantly collected it. She re-ad it and scoffed.
“I’m not your fan so I don’t nee-d this” Alexa said showing her the paper to her face.
“It doesn’t matter. Just keep it” Krystal Mia smiled. Alexa bec@m£ annoyed, she couldn’t re-ad her emotion any longer. She took the paper to her face and to-re it into two different pieces. She let go of the paper which fell down on the floor.
“You might have not heard what I said.. But I’m gonna say it again.. I’m–Not–Your–Fan!” She stressed her voice. Krystal Mia looked at her shocked and amazed.
**************************
“The Five” were eating and drinking the mouth watering food and enjoyable drinks on the table. The only noises heard was their loud creaking and cl!çk!ng sound from their cutleries and Oh, I almost forgot…Alexa’s slurping and chewing mouth drama.
As she began eating, She ate like “Who cares?”. Who were you kidding? She loved food than anyone would. She mixed two different food together and ate it.
Watching her, made the rest almost throw up. She also mixed Beer with Milk. The Skyy Boys Band watched embarras-sed of her acts. They only shone their flashy teeth to cover their feelings.
Alexa was the first to finish eating, She belched loudly and stood up. She yawned tiredly.
“I’m going to the washroom” Alexa said
“Huh? plea-se, Can I come too?” Krystal asked
“No”
“What? Why not?”
“You aren’t done with your food?” Alexa replied
“No.. I’m done. I don’t eat too much”
“Oh. So, I’m a glutton right?”
“What? No! plea-se, Don’t misquote me. I just said I was satisfied” Krystal explained rushing her words.
“Whatever, Can I have yours then?” Alexa asked. Ethan, Eric and Ken all looked at her.
They were shocked and surprised! Like Damn, She wants to eat again???
“Huh?” Krystal voice sounded surprised.
“You said you didn’t want to eat again” Alexa retorted
“Well. Yes” Krystal replied
“So. Can I finish that?” Alexa asked pointing at Krystal’s plate containing the remnants of her food.
“Oh my. Uhh.. Sure, Do take it” She replied. Alexa gave a cunning smile and took the spaghetti. She also took the plate of sauce and poured everything directly into the spaghetti.
They all watched her in disbelief and wonder. She took the vegetables and sliced carrots, potatoes,yellow corn and ketchup and poured it together. She took the big spoon and mixed them. She tasted it with the ti-p of her f!nger and gave a satisfactory smile.
“Yummy” She smiled.
The others continued watching with the feeling of disgust. Krystal Mia held herself trying to adjust to Alexa’s weird behavior.
The guys prayed she wouldn’t eat it.
“No.. plea-se, Don’t put that in your mouth, plea-se!” They all prayed in their thoughts.
They looked on and saw as she dug the big spoon into the weird food. Time even slow motioned as she brou-ght out the filled spoon.
“Noooooo!” Ken almost yelled but it was too late. Alexa was alre-ady grinding and chewing the food in her mouth and while doing this, She was still on her feet(Not Seated!)
“Ewww!” Ken whispered irritated. His eye ba-lls cornered to the opposite end and suddenly, he fell from his seat. He fainted!. He couldn’t watch no more. He was done, fed up, and shocked.
Eric and Ethan who were eating suddenly started removing their chewed food from their mouth. Ericl-ips freely opened as his mouth brou-ght out the soup he was drinking.
While, Ethan who was also eating fresh spaghetti started bringing out his, like how Eric did. Everyone would have done the same.
Alexa seemed to be the nonchalant one.
“Hey? Is there mustard? Adding mustard would be great” She said with her mouth extra full.
Krystal Mia quic-kly heard her che-st. She was about to throw up. She made a sound with her throat. She quic-kly ran to the restroom while Alexa continued eating.
“He’s tough” Eric whispered to Ethan.
“Capable of doing anything. I agree” Ethan whispered back.
*****************************
Krystal Mia was rinsing her hand with warm water which rushed from the tap when Alexa entered. Her mouth was stained with food remnants.
She walked up to Krystal and switched on the other tap which brou-ght water. She washed her hand, looked at the large wall mirror which faced them, took a handful of water and cleaned her dirty stained mouth with it.
Krystal looked at the mirror, and from that angle, Her gaze went directly to Alexa who also looked back.
“What made you change your mind?” Krystal asked switching off the tap.
“I don’t get you” Alexa replied
“You told me yourself… You said you changed and ain’t my fan anymore, why?”
“Do I nee-d to answer that?” Alexa retorted switching off the tap as well.
“You don’t nee-d to” Krystal smiled now turning to look at her directly.
“Huh?” Alexa was confused and also turned to face her.
“I s-en-se your emotion… You were jealous” Krystal laughed silently.
“What? Why… Why would I be?”
Krystal scoffed, looked down the sink and took some roll of tissue beside it. She started drying her we-t hand with it.
“You’re jealous because of that MV”
“What? Hey.. Explain so I can un-derstand!” Alexa almost yelled. Krystal laughed again and took few steps towards her.
“You… You like–Ethan” She whispered
“What?” Alexa asked in a whisper.
Krystal Mia’s l!pCorners brou-ght a mischievous smile. She was now close to Alexa and looked directly into her eyes. She stretched her hand slowly to her ear.
She used her beautiful,fake and long f!nger nail in brushing the strand of hair from Alexa’s temple to the back of her ear and finally gave a sounding reply;
“Don’t worry, I un-derstand because….. I know you are a….–
Girl?”
