Alex now lives with his uncle and his family, They are fun people and Alex enjoyed their company. His uncle's first child is a boy named josh who is four years older than Alex and the second child is a girl named Anne and who is 14 years old.
When he got back home after dropping Ember at her hostel he went straight to his uncle's house and met his uncle, and his family watching a family show, as usual, he knew josh's absence from that show was fishy because he hardly miss the show, they all exchanged pleasantries and he walked straight into his room, there was josh sitting by the chair waiting for him, quickly rising from his chair, josh came towards him and whispered into his ear "Mr lover boy I have been waiting for you to come back."
"I knew I was going to meet you here as I didn't see you in the living room," Alex said as he was taking off his shoes.
"I don't want to hear something like you didn't tell her how you feel about her," josh said Rubbing hands together.
"I didn't tell her because I was still afraid she might turn me down but I had fun today" he replied massaging his temples.
"Alex, what do you mean? why can't you just tell her? And I don't know why you are afraid she might turn you down, even if she did turn you down, you will always find someone else, after all, she isn't the only one on this planet" He said as he cocked his head to one side.
"Don't say that Bro she is special to me and she is the only girl I could ever love" he replied in a low tone.
"Then tell her before you lost her in the hands of another guy!" He said Stamping his foot on the floor.
Alex's face turned plane and his skin felt cold and clammy as soon as John made the statement of him losing her in the hands of another guy if care isn't taken.
"Okay, I will try," Alex said and took a deep breath.
"Say you will instead, The earlier the better for you, I don't want you to have regrets in the future," he said with caution.
Alex wasn't feeling too well due to the discussion, josh noticed and suggested that Alex follows him to his room to play video games so he can get his mind off it, which he did and after playing video game for 3 hours he was feeling sleeping so he went to his room to take a nap he lied on his bed trying to sleep but couldn't, Shortly after he was lost in thought thinking of Ember.
Josh was just being honest with me, what if I later lose her to another guy, how I'm good to live, I don't just know what she did to me that made me love her so much he thought to himself and later fall asleep.
He managed to wake up on time before dinner and was feeling much better after the nap, it was Anne that came to his room telling him to come downstairs for dinner.
They went downstairs together and they all had dinner together as one big household after they were done Anne asked Alex to help her with her chemistry Assignment and Also prepare her for the chemistry test which will be coming up in a few days.
They both went to a quiet corner of the house for the lesson She showed him the assignment and he taught her how to do it. After that, he asked her for the subject outline so that he can start preparing her for the test. He taught her so well that she was Amazed, after the lesson it feel as if she understood everything he taught her for that day.
"Bro Alex you are such a good tutor I understand everything you just taught me and I'm so happy you are here, but I'm sad I can't be bothering you all the time about my school kinds of stuff because you have yours too. Anne said looking sad.
Josh is not a science student that's why he only assists her with English studies and other subjects that are not related to science courses.
Alex told her not to worry that he is going to make time for her, that cheered up her mood and she thanked him, Alex left the place when he was done talking with her, she still stayed there practising for some hour before leaving too.
Days later she took the test and it went well for her, when the result was out she aced the test.
When she got home that day she ran breathlessly to Alex with the good news, as soon as he heard it, he jumped into the air with a whoop of joy.
"Wonderful! Good job!" he kept shouting.
Then he turned to her and swept her up in his arms.
"You made me happy today I will be taking you out for Ice Cream so go and get prepared and meet me outside," Alex said walking towards the door exit direction.
"Okay, Bro Alex," she said as she rushed upstairs due to excitement.
He bought Ice Cream and so many other goodies for her and promised her that if she keep up with this performance he will be taking her out more often.
