'I was jealous' would be an understatement for what I felt last night. I was raging and felt like a beast wanting blood. Jasmine's blood. Not the blood bank one.

But after confronting Alexander, I was on cloud nine. I always knew I loved Alexander. Ever since I had a conversation with him in the green room on our wedding day. But couldn't muster up the courage to say it back everytime he confessed. I can only imagine what he would have felt each time saying an 'I love you' with all his heart and not getting a proper answer.

I feel so dumb to not realise it earlier.

The succeeding days were filled with true smiles, memories, kisses and ofcourse, dramas.

I was shocked when Jasmine announced that she has decided to come out of the wardrobe. I felt proud of Alexander when she informed how he encouraged her to be vocal of her thoughts.

Today, was the last day of our vacation. We'll be getting back to Manchester tomorrow.

I helped granny to prepare breakfast and then thought about waking Alexander up. When I entered the room, I heard someone singing the lyrics of Love Story by Taylor Swift.

I was shocked to see Alexander was the one singing. I wasn't a singer but I knew he was hitting almost every note perfectly. He looked ethereal in the sunlight, singing the song with all his heart with earphones plugged in.

"Xander?" I called him. He pulled out his earphones and flashed me a gorgeous grin.

"I hope you didn't hear me singing like a dying seagull. Did you?" He asked with red cheeks and widened eyes.

"I am going to ask you something. Answer me seriously. Will you?" I asked him. His face composed seriousness now. He nodded in reply.

"Do you like hearing songs?" I asked him. He nodded. "Yes. I like many of them." He said.

"Do you like singing?" I asked him. "Only if it certain parts of the songs don't strain my vocal chords." He replied.

"How about pursuing music as a career, Xander? Do you think you'll be happy to learn more about music in Uni?" I asked him. His eyes widened.

"Can I do that?" He asked me. I nodded with a smile. He paused for a second and bit his lips. "I think that's a good idea." He said softly. I grinned at his reply and he grinned back.

Coming back to Manchester, I got busy with my shift duty in the hospital while Alexander hanged out with Ethan to grasp everything he needs to know before his admission into the University.

Ethan made sure Alexander had all the fake certificates he needed for admission. Alexander chose Music and Literature as his two majors along with handicrafts as his minor.

On the night before his first day before college, he was quite nervous about the environment he might face. Of course the anxiousness of meeting new people got high too. But he was able to gather some courage and a good sleep after our short make out session.

Yes. Make out session! We had them quite these past days. Apparantly, Alexander made two new friends Michael and Joseph.

Michael Remington was a 21 year old curly haired lad with the same majors as Alexander. He found Xander's knowledge on bikes to be pretty 'cool' and they hit off on the first day.

Joseph Simon was Michael's best friend since diapers and was reluctant to share his best friend with Alexander at first. Later, they all hung out after their lectures and Joseph's point of view changed.

They were the only ones who knew Alexander's true age and that he was married to a 'hot wife', aka me. They constantly reported me about Alexander's well being and also his popularity among the female population. However, I trusted Alexander with all my body and soul that he's mine. So why worry?

"You know Mr. Daniel was pretty frustrated today and was adamant at taking a surprise test. He asked Mike to perform any of Beethoven's work. Mike stood up in the middle of the classroom and said 'Sir, Music acts as therapy. I guess you need one, because you are the one who has a fight with his wife.' The professor was fuming. Mike got detention at the end of the day." Alexander shared about his day.

It was our daily routine to have breakfast and dinner together and share about each other's day.

"Mike got some guts." I remarked. "He's a quite funny fellow. He makes me laugh. Also, protects me from Lina." He said.

"So, who's Lina?" I asked. He gulped his food down. "Lina is apparantly, the most popular girl of the college. Joseph said she has a crush on me. I don't even know what it means. But she irks me." He said scrunching up his nose.

"She follows me everywhere, unnecessarily. Heck, we have no common subjects yet she follows into all of my classes. She's pretty irritating." He said.

"Do you want me to do something?" I asked. "Can you?" He asked me. I looked up and nodded with a smirk. His eyes lit up. "Anything to get rid of her." He said.

At the next day I was having lunch when I got a video call from Joseph. I recieved it with a smirk.

"Hey Joseph!" I greeted.

"Seems like someone marked her territory last night." Joseph wiggled his eyebrows. I laughed at his antics.

"Is that Mia? Why are you calling my wife?" Alexander enquired. "Oh shut up big man! I was just appreciating your wife for taking big steps." He said.

"What big steps?" Alexander furrowed his eyebrows.

"Oh are you ready for some drama, Dr. Smith?" Mike asked.

"Always!" I answered. Joseph turned his back camera on and I saw a barbie in red dress waking towards the camera.

"Hi Alexander!" She called him out on a screeching voice. So much for crushing over a married man. Not like she knows.

I saw her furrowing her eyebrows. Joseph walked back a little and adjusted the camera so I could see the entire scene unfolding.

"I guess you have something on your neck." She said. Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and touched his neck. His eyes widened in realisation. Lina might have realised what it was as her expressions turned bitter.

Alexander excused himself and took the phone from Joseph's hand. He turned on the selfie camera. "Mia you gave me a mark last night?!" He exclaimed loudly. I could control no more and burst into laughter. Alexander along with Mike and Joseph joined. I could see the younger boys sympathizing over Lina.

"Don't tell me you don't like it." I said, loud enough for the Lina girl to hear through the phone.

Alexander chuckled. "I love everything about you. But you didn't have to mark your territory you know. I guess everyone knows I am yours." He teased me.

"I ain't marking any territory. And yeah, you're mine. Better remember that." I said.

"Okay baby. I'll talk to you at home. Bye. Love you." He said and passed the phone to Mike and hurried off to one of the classrooms as soon as the bell rang.

Joseph narrated me about Lina stomping her feet and thought I was his 'girlfriend'. She vowed to made me and Alexander break up. Silly fellow.

Stay tuned.

Love yaa.
