Chapter 31 - 'VERY BIG PROBLEM!'

Mother was shocked.

"Anna you sure have changed but it's for the better, Go enjoy the trip."

"I'll be back till 8."

"I know you can take care of yourself. And this is the only period maybe when you can enjoy yourself. Who knows what will happen in the future."

After dinner, they both went to their room. Anna packed her bag along with her swimsuit. She also took a hat which she wanted to wear since she was 15.

But on the other side, there was a conflict.

....

Alex was searching for something in his drawers when Scott came into his room. "What are you searching, brother?"

"Scott, do you know where is my camera?"

"How would I know. But why do you need a camera at this hour? Please explain." asked Scott curiously.

"I'm going to the beach tomorrow after school with one of my friends. That's why I need it. Please help me check where it is." Said Alex while still searching for his Camera. He wanted to click pictures of Anna and keep them for himself.

"OH MY GOD! You are going to the beach and leaving me alone here? Do you even know how much I love the beach and mountains sunset? You are not my real brother anymore!!!" Scott puffed his cheeks and sat on his bed showing that he is angry.

Alex sighed.

"What do you want? A new game or something to eat?" He had expected him to say he wants to eat something made by him or want to go to a restaurant because he knew how big foody Scott is. But, what he said next shocked him.

"I also want to go to the beach tomorrow with you and your friend!" stated Scott.

Alex instantly said, "No!"

"Why I can't come? I'm a good child, I won't even disturb you and your friend. Even I can click some good pictures of yours."

"But still no. I want to go along with her. You also have a school day after tomorrow." He wanted to spend some time with Anna. He can't let his brother ruin it!

But Scott was much smarter than he had expected. He caught up the main point.

"It is her'? Brother, I want to meet her and that is final! I'm coming with you guys! Otherwise, I will not give you your camera back."

Alex narrowed his eyes.

"So you are finally admitting that you took my camera?"

"Don't change the topic. I'm coming with you, that is final." Scott made the decision himself only. As if Scott is the king and Alex is his soldier.

"Let me ask her."

He went to the balcony and messaged Anna.

ALEX- Anna, Sorry I'm messaging you this late. But there is a problem. There is Not a problem but a VERY BIG PROBLEM.

ANNA- It's okay. What happened?

ALEX- My younger brother wants to come with us, tomorrow. He is 5 years old and won't disturb you.

ANNA- You have a younger brother? Of course, he can come. I would love to meet him.

ALEX- Sure?

ANNA- Yeah.

ALEX- Okay. Thanks! Will see you tomorrow.

...

He turned around and said, "She agreed. You can come."

Scott started jumping on Alex's bed.

"Give me my camera back," said Alex

"Brother, you see I don't trust you. You pick me up tomorrow from school and I will give you your camera back! Double deal right, right?"

He can't argue anymore with this little pumpkin.

"Go now. Sleep."

Scott turned towards the door and started walking towards his room.

But he suddenly stopped. He turned around and asked, "Brother, do we need to tell Big brother?"

Hearing this, Alex's eyes turned cold.

"No. Absolutely no. And Scott, you can never take your big brother's name in front of her. Never ever do that. Even don't mention also that we have any big brother. You got that?"

"Yeah. Good night!" waved Scott and returned to his room.

In his heart, he knew somewhere that after some time, he and his big brother are bound to war against each other and he had prepared himself well, but will she accept him after knowing who he really was?

Thinking about this only, he fell asleep.
