Why is he blushing?

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes"

-chapter nine-

Fyn Sly looked at Alex who had no intention of leaving with Scott and starts a conversation with Stella.

" Stella were you informed about the gathering?" Alex asked Stella.

"What gathering" Stella questions back.

"Liam said he invited Jade and Rose and told them to inform you, maybe they forgot" Alex said.

" Well I think it's the other way round, I've been speaking with the both of them and I would have known if he had told them. Besides non of them are in the country right now." Stella replied.

"Jade Silver and Rose Adam, those two are very popular now." Alex commented.

"Jade Silver and Rose Adam, those names sounds familiar." Fyn Sly said

"Well yes, Jade Silver is the most popular and highest paid model in the country while Rose Adam is the award winning actress this year. Stella you have really made a fortune by having those two as friends." Alex commented.

" That should be the other way round"Fyn Sly muttered under his breath silently but Alex still heard him.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked.

"Oh nothing" Fyn Sly replied.

"Ok if you say so"Alex said but still looked at him suspiciously. He didn't buy that 'Oh nothing' at all.

" So Stella would you be coming?, it's been awhile since we all saw each other. And I bet you must be dying to see Steve Smith" Alex teased, then looks at Fyn Sly cheekily.

Stella blushed when she heard this. She didn't deny this, not because it was true but because she didn't feel the need to explain.

Fyn Sly seems to have had enough, he faced Scott and asked.

"Didn't you say you have something to discuss with Alex, i think now is the perfect time as he is less busy. You can even tell him on your way home" he said with one of his brows raised.

Fyn Scott was speechless, why was this brother of his becoming shameless all of a sudden, why was he indirectly pushing him into the lion's den. He wanted to deny but decided against it when he saw the look on his face.

" Yes... yes I.. brother Alex I wanted to ask you something. Since I'm about going why don't you drop me off while I tell you on the way" Scott said.

Alex looks at Fyn Sly. This friend of his doesn't mind acting shameless all because of a woman.

"Well... yeah I should get going, I have somewhere to be right now anyway. So see you at the gathering Stella." Alex said as he stood up.

"ok, I'll be there. "Stella replied.

Alex walked to the door and noticed Scott wasn't following him, he turned back and sees Scott lowing his head down like a molested puppy.

Scott now feels guilty, knew his brother was using him to lure Alex out. He also knew Alex knows he was lying but still played along.

Alex sensed he was feeling guilty, 'This foolish boy' he thought and looked at Fyn Sly, 'You will put your brother in trouble one day' and Fyn Sly seems to know what he was thinking due to the look on his face.

Fyn Sly shrug and stare at him as if saying 'So, he has s my brother, what are brothers for'.

Alex ignored him and faced Scott. "Let's get going, or have you change your mind and decided to spend little more time with your brother. "

" No... no.. I.. let's go, I'm going with you" Fyn Scott shuttered as he stands up and moved towards Alex.

" Walk fast." Alex said as he walks out.

Stella who was sitting quietly observed everything. She knew Fyn Sly and Alex were teasing each other so she ignored them, but one thing made her confused. Fyn Sly and Alex may have not noticed due to them teasing each other but she noticed. Scott's ears was red at the tip and as she looks closely not only was his ears red, he cheeks were also bright red.

She was surprised, 'Why is he blushing?'.
