As Alex got out of the room, he tried to look for Rio and after a few minutes of searching, he met her sitting in her study room looking sad.
Rio. Alex called her but she didn't respond, then he decided to approach her.
Rio. I know you are angry at me for what I did earlier but I am sorry. I didn't mean to do that. When you told my that your boyfriend and cousin were visiting, I thought you were actually dating that guy, Alex said sitting next to Rio
No, he is just my cousin but I do call him my boyfriend, Rio replied.
I know, he told me earlier.
When I didn't know you were not actually dating him, I tried to hide the feelings I have for you by speaking Chinese instead of asking you out in front of everyone even though I don't know what I was saying but right now I am going to make things right by asking you out.
What.. What did you just say right now. Rio asked him with a surprised look on her face.
I said I am going to ask you out right now.
Will you be my girlfriend. Rio.
As the words came out of Alex's mouth, Rio just sat down like a statute trying to process the words on her brain.
I know that you may be surprised by what I just said right now but don't be.
I will give you some time to think about...
(Cuts in) Yes. Yes. Yes.
I will be your girlfriend. Rio interrupted him, then she bought her lips to his and kissed him hard.
Alex was surprised by what she did but he kissed her back.
After a few minutes of kissing, Rio broke the kiss.
So we are now a couple right, Alex asked Rio looking straight into her eyes.
Yes. of course. I can't wait to brag about it in front of Joan. Rio said excitedly
Really, Alex asked.
Yes.
Okay. So how are we going to celebrate our first day been a couple. Alex asked.
I think we should go for a shopping first, Rio replied.
That's a great idea.
Okay, let's go and change first.
We are going to buy a couple T shirt too.
Rio said.
They both left the study room to meet Rio's cousins who have been waiting for them for some minutes..
Where have you guys been, we have been waiting for you for a while now, Joan said.
I hope everything is fine with you guys. Jade asked.
Yes, but guess what. Rio said.
What! They both chorused.
We are now a couple. Rio said excitedly.
Woah! That's a great news. congratulations darling, Joan said as she stood up to hug her cousin.
Thanks sweetie, Rio replied.
So you find your way into love, Jade said facing Alex direction.
Yes dude, Alex replied.
So Alex. If you dare maltreat my cousin, am gonna skin you alive, Joan said laughing.
No, you dare not do that to my one and only boyfriend. Joan. Rio replied with a smirk.
Did I just hear you say my one and only boyfriend.
Do you plan on double dating before, Joan asked.
Will you stop it Joan or am going to chase you out of this room. Rio said and they all burst into laughter.
After their laughter faded. They all stayed silent for a while.
Then Rio broke the silence by saying, Me and my boyfriend are going to have fun. so you both should sort yourself out.
Rio, is this how you are going to treat your guest just because you now have a boyfriend. Joan asked.
Don't talk to my boyfriend that way. Also, you are not a guest to begin with. You come here every time. If I am to treat a person like a guest, that will be your brother Jade because he barely comes here. And am sure you are the one that forced him to come today.
Whatever. Just have fun with your boyfriend and we will sort ourselves out like you said earlier. Joan said.
Okay, Rio replied and after a few minutes they left to the mall..
We are done shopping right. Can we go now, Alex asked.
Oh no, No yet. I forgot to buy my face and body cream, I noticed this morning that it has almost finished and I can't afford to not use it in a day. I will be right back.
Okay but don't keep me waiting for too long, Alex replied.
Okay love. Rio said as she perked Alex on his cheeks before walking away...
When I stepped into the mall for the sixth time, after getting calls from different numbers, then I sighted my brother at the front of the mall.
Looking excited I called him with a bright smile on my face. Alex, Alex.
Yes, he turned and said, how can I help you and how do you even know my name, Alex asked.
Looking at him at with a confused look. What, what are you saying Alex. Why are you acting like this. Alright I know you are angry at me for leaving you but it wasn't my fault am sorry, please come back home with me, Sia said.
Sorry, I think you have mistaken me for someone else, Alex replied.
No, why would I mistake my own twin brother for another person. Alex, it's me Sia, your twin sister but you have lose some weight, where have you been though, Sia asked him.
Sorry, I don't know you and am not a twin. Am just me, and why do you care if I lose some weight or not.
Alex, why won't I care, am your twin sister. of course. Look, I know you are angry at me for what I did and that is why you are acting as if you don't know me but I will explain later, let's go home first. I have found our parents and they will be very happy to see you.
I am sorry, but I have to go, I am not the person you are referring to, he replied and turned to walk away. Then Sia grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
He jerked his hand away from her and yelled at her. I said I don't know you.
The noise drew everyone's attention including Rio who was approaching them. She walked faster when she knew what was happening.
What is going on here, Rio asked facing Alex with a confused gaze.
It is this crazy lady here and she is claiming to be my twin sister, Alex rasped.
Alex you called me crazy, how dare you. I told you am sorry that it wasn't my fault, it was Williams fault. what else do you want me to say, Sia said.
Excuse me, Rio replied. He said he doesn't know you, come on lets go, She have spoilt my mood, am supposed to be happy in a day like this, Rio said and hooked arms with alex and they walked away.
Hey you can't walk away from me with my brother like you are his twin Sia yelled and ran after them. Wait let me talk to you for a minute, Sia said and forced her hands on them.
Let go, Rio yelled and jerked her hands away. Why are you so adamant, I said I don't know you. Only wretched people like you stick to people like glue, Alex said and walked away leaving the confused and heartbroken Sia and the surprised Rio behind.
Now you provoked him, I think you deserve what you got Rio said and Sneered before walking away.
In the car, Rio's mind was filled with different thoughts and the possibilities of Sia been Alex twin sister and how the latter wouldn't forgive her if she was truly Alex twin. After few minutes, she decided to take her mind off of it and instead dwell on how to executes her plan successfully.
