Chapter 2

AJ

I waited eagerly for my twin sister, Alexis (or Alex as we call her) after we called her to come home. I finally managed to convince her to come home. I know she will not miss my wedding. After all we are very close.

Alex and I are twins. She was born 2 minutes after me, which makes me older. I always acted like an older brother to her; protected her and be an older brother on who she could always count on. Because of that we became very close.

We even share the same favorite sport and team. She always tells me when she has a problem or anything that bothers her, and I would do the same. We never keep any secret from each other. Well that's what I thought but when she left, I finally knew that she did keep some of her secret with her.

Maybe because I was too blind to see? I never knew whom she liked or admire and I didn't even bother to ask. I never thought my tomboy sister would have a crush on someone. She never told me or even told Rika, her best friend, who is now my fiancée, knew about it. She never shows her feelings. She managed to keep them from everyone. The only thing I knew is that she really liked to match-make people. I used to think that her match-making behavior is stupid but changed my mind when she match-make me with Rika. She made me found my true love.

I remember the day when she first match-make me with Rika. I was sitting with Skylar or Skye my best friend during lunch, when Alex approached our table with Rika. I was surprised because we never share tables during lunch. She would seat with her group of friends while I sat with mine. However, that particular day, I just sat with Skye as our friends had something else to do.

"May we join you?" she asked smiling at us while Rika just blushed.

I looked at Skye and he shrugged, "Sure," I nodded my head. She immediately pulled Rika to the table.

We all continued eating in silence until Alexis started to talk to Skye. "Hmm, Skye, you promised me that you going to help me to solve the math problem?"

"I did?" he asked looking at her weirdly, but a second later he responded, "Oh, yeah, I did."

I looked at them weirdly especially Skye. He's useless with math and he's helping my sister to solve it? I looked at Alexis with wide eyes as if she's gone mad, "Are you sure you going to ask Skye to help you? He's not going to solve the problem for you but instead, he going to make it worse." I told her.

Skye smacked my head, "You think I'm that useless? I know a thing or two about math and I understood perfectly what the teacher was teaching just now."

"Really?" I asked rubbing the back of my head, still unable to believe him.

"Yeah, really," he said again and stood up and looked at Alexis, "You want to go to the library?"

"Library? You?" I gasped at Skye. My friend really has gone crazy, "Ok," I said, "Tell me what you really did to my friend, imposter?!" I joked.

He hit my head again, "That's shows you really don't know about me," glaring at me and got out from his seating place.

Alexis laughed while Rika just smiled, "Let's go now," she said as she stood from her seat.

"Can I come with you?" asked Rika.

"No," Alexis shook her head, "Why don't you accompany my brother?" she suggested and winked at me. I rolled my eyes at her.

I never talked to Rika before even though we are in the same class and leaving me alone with Rika, giving me no choice but to talk to her. I found that she's very shy girl but love to smile. She's not talkative like my bubbly little sister and that's what made her sweet. That day I really get to know Rika and we talked almost about everything until we didn't realize the bell had rung. Since that day onwards, I start to acknowledge Rika and so was she. I started to treat her as friends but I know I started to like her but I never made a move to ask her for a date.

I think Alex realized that and she start another plan. She arranged a date for me and Rika without any of us knows about it. How? By pretending, asking me to go out dinner with her and at the same time asking Rika to have dinner with her at the same place. When we reached at the place, she asked me to go in first pretending that she's going to the restroom. I sat waiting for her and to my surprise Rika approached the table instead of her. We both finally knew that we were played out by my darling sister when she didn't even show up, but it turned out to be a splendid night. I pretended to scold her when I arrived home but my happy face gave it away. She knew I have good time and pestering me to ask Rika for a real date. I finally had the guts to do that and finally we become a couple. Alex was the happiest person when we announce we're a couple besides me of-course.

Skye finally admitted that Alex has been trying to match-make me with Rika and he played a part too; by pretending to solve my sister's math problem. I just smile when I tought about those days.

Everyone was surprised when I coupled with Rika. That was because Rika was totally opposite from my ex-girlfriend, Nicole Benson. While Rika was shy and down to earth, Nicole or Nicky was loud and bitchy sometimes. I do admit that Nicky is more beautiful then Rika. Every guy wants to date Nicky which include the fool me. I know that Alex didn't approve my relationship with Nicky but she never did anything to stop me from dating Nicky. She never complains about Nicky behavior to me. One thing about Alex is that, if she doesn't like somebody, she just ignored or avoided them. That's what she did and from there I know she doesn't like Nicky. I, on the other hand did try to bring Nicky and Alex together but she managed to avoid it.

As I said, Nicky is beautiful and every guy wants to be with her. She's our cheerleader but not the head cheerleader. Jessica, one of Alex best friends is the cheerleader. Skye used to have a crushed on her and have even asked Alex to match-make him with her once. But finally he realized that she's not his type.

Back to my relationship with Nicky, we were together for almost a year. We broke off when I caught her cheating on me. Yeah, I found her in bed having passionate sex with her ex-boyfriend. I should have knows and realized why people keep calling her the Jensen's (our school) slut. Stupid me!

After we broke up she tried her best to win me back but I have enough of her. Even after she knew that Rika and I were couple, she still tried to win me back by starting to tell lies about Rika. Good thing Alex knows Rika well and she managed to prove that Nicky was lying. I thank my sister for helping me in that.

Being with Rika is the best things that happen in my life. Alex was very happy with me and I keep thanking her everyday for bringing me together with Rika. We all were happy until that night when Alex suddenly left us while we were holidaying in my parent's Villa in Hawaii. Everyone was stunned that she left without a word especially Skye. He looks depressed and lost.

A month I was lost without my sister, even though Rika was always with me. I felt that part of me has gone missing and I hunt everywhere for her. I was relief when I received a call for her telling me where she was and why she ran off.

I was angry at first with her and Skye, especially Skye but after she explained everything I cooled down. I understand how she felt, being pregnant with a child after a spending one night with a guy whom you don't know have any feelings towards you.

I still tried to press her to tell Skye about the baby. I knew Skye would take the responsibility without any questions but Alex didn't agree with me. She didn't want Skye to take the responsibility because he felt guilty. She doesn't want Skye to feel that he's been trapped. I have to agree with her about that and that's why I didn't pressure her to tell him about the baby. I didn't know how Skye felt towards her because he never shows but after Alex left I could see that he felt miserable and depressed. He helped me look for Alex when she went missing that night and I think he was more eager looking for her than me.

When I told him that I already know where Alex was and didn't want to tell him where, he looked more miserable. Does that mean he has feelings toward my sister? Hmm, I wonder and I do hope so too but Skye never told me anything about what he felt.

Well, now I could just hope. Maybe seeing Alex again could clearly clarify how he truly felt towards her. I wonder how he's gonna feel when he finds out about his baby with Alex. I hope he'll not be angry with Alex for keeping it from him.

Well, let's just wait and see what happen. I think even if they both don't admit how they feel towards each other; they somehow have feelings to each other. If not, baby Nate would never come to this world.

That's what Rika and I were thinking. They might like each other but too stubborn to admit it and that's what Rika and I planning to do: we're going to bring them together. That's our mission, we're going to play match maker this round and hope our plan works. If it does, I'll be the happiest brother in the whole wide world.
