My Ex Next Door

In the other side.

Four women entered the bar playing loud music. The place was crowded with women in a tight dress while dancing with men who are half drunk and waiting until one of the women to pass out so they can take advantage of them.

Novie together with Daniella, Peyton, and Saina occupied the round table near the restroom. After they left Saina's house, they went straight to Peyton's apartment to change their clothes. Luckily, their bodies were at the same size. Therefore, they didn't have a hard time choosing a dress.

Since Peyton is taller them all, the dress they wore reached had their knees which Novie finds comfortable as she was not use of wearing a short dress.

The waiter came to get their orders and all of them decided to order the same cocktail.

With the loud music around, they needed to yell in order to hear each other.

"Daniella, you are paying today right?" Peyton yelled. Daniella leaned closer to Peyton sitting next to her and yelled back.

"No. I am planning to get one of those men and let them pay." Daniella pointed at the men sitting on the bar stool and staring at their direction.

Novie looked at Saina who had a small smile on her lips, seems like Daniella and Saina was able to talk their issue out because when the jet landed, the two were inseparable.

"Is it fine? Remember Mark is watching. I think he's more loyal to Evan than to you" Peyton yelled back.

When Daniella switched her eyes between Novie and Saina. They both shook their head and spoke, "I am not paying!"

"Damn it! Fine I will pay" Daniella gave up.

When their drinks came, everyone swallowed it without hesitation. The waiter keeps on going back and forth from the bar to their table to fill their glasses.

At first, they were all silent, waiting for someone to speak first. They don't know whether it is because they were not close or their previous issues made a wall between them.

Hours passed and all of them were half tipsy with all the cocktails they ordered. At that moment, they all began talking to each other. Their loud laugh exceeded the music with all the stories Peyton was sharing about her journey with Daniella.

Minutes later, the music shifted to soft, the people in the dance floor paired up while the four of them stayed in their chair, ignoring everyone.

Novie wondered earlier why no men came at them but, later saw Mark stopping all the men who tried to approach them.

Saina had her elbow rested on the table while her hand was supporting her head. In the other side, Novie was staring at her glass with her mind floating somewhere.

When Saina suddenly gasped, all of them looked at her. The woman giggled, her face was red while her eyes were half opened.

"Daniella, you are such a bitch!" Saina blurted while pointing the glass she had in her hand at Daniella.

Daniella giggled and took the glass from Saina and drank it at once, "I know. Oxford already changed their definition of a bitch to my name" they all chuckled upon hearing it.

Novie emitted a long sighed and asked the waiter to fill her glass.

"Daniella. I have a request" Novie stated. She took in a sharp breath and waited for Daniella's response.

"Yes dear. Whatever is it I will give it to you" Daniella replied in a drunk voice.

"Can you check Ken's mind and see if he wants to have kids?" she responded, her voice stuttered due to intoxication.

But, Daniella didn't reply. When the waiter came, the woman grabbed the man's arm and pulled him closer.

"Tell the manager to lower the music," Daniella shouted at the waiter's ear.

The man nodded and left.

"Wow! that's one obedient waiter" Saina laughed in amusement.

"He's not obedient but, scared to get fired by his wife's boss" Peyton spoke in a tipsy voice.

Saina and Novie made an 'oh!' sound and thought that Daniella was being generous.

"Novie" Daniella called her name.

Novie straightened even though her whole body weakened with all the alcohol she absorbed.

"I can do that but, isn't much better if you ask him yourself? At least you will see his reaction" When she heard those words, she fell deep in her thought.

There are so many things she wanted to talk to him but, there's always something happening. She thought she could finally ask him when they went to the lake but, they then needed to go back to the city.

She clicked her tongue and turned her eyes to Saina, wondering about their relationship. "What about you Saina? Did you talk to Danny about starting a family?" the woman turned to her and shrugged a shoulder.

"It's hard to talk when his lips were glued to mine" then she let out a playful smile.

Peyton laughed and slouched her body on the chair, "Since your men don't want to talk about marriage or babies, why don't you two just marry each other and adopt Alexa" she suggested.

Novie and Saina looked at each other and exploded, thinking that Peyton's advice was hilarious.

Then Daniella slammed both hands on the table causing the glasses to shake, "Let's go and get you two married"

Saina got up from her chair and circled a hand around Daniella's arm, "I don't have a problem with that." Saina spoke and stretched her hand to Novie.

"Do you want to marry me?" Saina asked. Novie giggled while reaching to Saina's hand.

"Sure" saying that the four went to the restroom to fix their faces.

They took a taxi as they couldn't drive with all the alcohol they consumed. Novie looked at Daniella sitting beside her who was busy scrolling on her phone.

"What – are you doing?" her voice was broken as she speaks.

"I remember that I have a friend who had a friend that will get married tomorrow. We can borrow the place to get you two married" saying that, Daniella gave the address to the driver.

After some minutes of driving, they finally arrived, and Novie finds out it was a church.

When they entered the church, it was clean and dark. Daniella turned her flashlight on and searched for the light switch but, she couldn't find it. Therefore, she asked them to take their phones out and turned on the flashlight.

"I thought there will be a wedding here tomorrow?" Novie asked Daniella in sarcasm, the quietness of the church made her voice to bounced back.

The woman shrugged her shoulders and walked to the altar. She stood on the stairs and asked Saina and Novie to come closer.

Without hesitation, they went to her direction and stood in front.

Peyton served as their witness while Daniella acted as the priest.

Daniella cleared her throat before speaking.

"I would say everyone but, Peyton and I are the only witnesses here so." Daniella paused and asked Saina and Novie to hold their hands.

"Peyton, we are here to witness the marriage between these two unfortunate women who wasn't cherished by my jerk brothers"

They all laughed before continuing.

"Oh! I forgot the rest…" Daniella paused and slapped a hand on her forehead, unsure of what to say next.

The three looked at her as they wait for her to continue.

"Anyway… Now, by the power vested in me by a gorgeous woman named Daniella Su and by my followers in Instagrams. I now pronounce you married. You may both kiss the bride"

After Daniella said those words, Novie and Saina move closer, they were both drunk and doesn't care what is happening, or the consequences of their action.

Before their lips touch, the door of the church opened and Mark came in.

"Mrs. Su, your husband called and requesting for you to come home soon" he spoke while his eyes were wide open staring at Novie and Saina.

"Mark, don't ruin this wedding and tell Evan I don't have a husband in the next hm… 28 hours" Daniella signaled Mark to leave but, the man didn't move.

"Mr. Su said it's urgent. The triplets are drunk"
