Exclusive Bonding

Aiden suddenly parked the car on the side of the road."What are you doing?" She questioned. Aiden turned to look at her with displeasure at his voice. "Embarrass me? Why would you ever embarrass me?" He told her and held her chin making her look at him.

"Then what do you mean?" She asked.

" Your ex...Stay away from him." He warned with darkness in his voice.

***********

"W-what?" Genesis shuttered. She understood now what he meant. The only explanation she could find is that 'he' will also be at the party tomorrow night. "Don't worry I have no interest." She murmured. Aiden sighed and planted a kiss on her cheek. " But he does…." He whispered.

He turned to face the road again and started the car. He then started driving back in the direction they were going towards before. Genesis looked out of the window. She was in her thoughts.

'He still dares show his face? It seems I was too lenient before.' SHe thought and her face darkened. She took a deep breath to control her anger.

' Did he expect me to still have feelings for that scum? Pfft as if.' She thought. Why would she still want to be involved with that man? She has no necessity for that. She would never waste her energy on hating a person that only deserves to be pitied for his lowly ways. She doesn't need to take revenge on him. Two years ago she already made sure that he would forever be haunted. She already made sure that his life becomes hell. If he decides to come after her again she will simply stay away.

Her feelings for him died a long time ago. Once a cheater always a cheater.

They were quiet for the whole ride. Genesis was calm and unbothered. Opposite of her Aiden was not feeling so great. Despite being confident that she no longer fancies her ex-fiance for some reason he has a very bad feeling. Why would he join the party knowing Genesis will be present? It only makes sense that he did it on purpose. Unless he does not know that Genesis will be there. In the end he still felt a bit troubled. He took a deep breath and calmed down his thoughts. He felt determined that he won't let him hurt Genesis again.

There is just no possibility of that.

…..

A few minutes later Aiden dropped off Genesis to her apartment and they bid goodbye.

Genesis closed the door of her room and changed into some comfortable sweatpants. She put on a hoodie and went downstairs. She made herself a snack and turned on her tv to watch a movie.

When she was halfway through the movie the doorbell rang. She frowned and paused the movie. She got up and looked through the small hole on the door. She smiled when she saw her brother outside.

"Brother!" She opened the door in excitement and hugged her brother. Ethan hugged her and lifted her. He kissed her forehead and placed her back down on the floor. Genesis smiled and dragged him inside. She closed the door and led him towards the living room. "I'm glad you finally visited." Genesis shook her head and brought some extra snacks for him.

"Hmm I missed you so I couldn't help it." He answered and placed a grape in his mouth. Genesis chuckled. "My little brother misses me aww." She teased. Ethan rolled his eyes. "You know you missed me too. Who will eat all your food if I'm not here?" He raised his eyebrows.

Genesis couldn't help but laugh and sat down next to him. "You're staying over tonight?" She asked. "Hmm I will. I will stay here for the weekend." Genesis pouted. "Just the weekend?" She asked. Ethan shrugged. "I'm leaving for a business trip on Monday." He responded.

Genesis sighed. " This shouldn't be your responsibility." She said in a sad tone. Ethan brought her into a hug. "Don't say that. Either way it doesn't matter. I will always be there to have your back." He consoled her. Genesis nodded and hugged him back. "Mm I'll always have your back little brother.." She teased. Ethan shook his head. "You take advantage of that one year of age difference too much." He told her. Genesis chuckled. "It's my birthright. I was born to take advantage of our age difference." She responded.

"Wow I wonder how mom handled both you and me. I mean we were so small and barely a year and a few months apart." He commented with a small smile. Genesis nodded. "Come on let's finish the movie little bro," Genesis said and patted his head.

" Nope. Let's play some board games instead. I don't want you crying and shouting for the whole night because your favorite character died." He declined in a hurry. Genesis puffed her cheeks and smacked his arm with the remote controller. "How dare you! You heartless bastard of course I will cry! It's sad…" She defended.

"Besides it's a comedy nobody will die." She continued. Ethan rubbed his arms. "Right. You'll be laughing at the same joke one of the characters made for a whole week instead." He scoffed. Genesis smacked his arm again. "Fine but don't cry when I win the game." She stuck her tongue out and walked towards her cupboard where she had a few board games.

Ethan looked at her leaving figure and sat up still rubbing his arm. His lips curled up and he walked towards her to help her.

"What game are we playing sis?" He asked. Genesis shrugged. "I don't know. We have the same games. I haven't bought a new one." She answered as they went through each box.

"Monopoly? Sorry?" Ethan furrowed his eyebrows. "These are boring. I don't even know how to play them." Genesis winded her eyes in shock. "WHAT? Those are like the MOST common games. I can't with you. All you know is eating my food and work." Genesis said shaking her head in disapproval.

" We used to play these when we were little and stop being such a big liar." She continued and placed the 'Sorry' game down on the rug. She sat down in a criss-cross applesauce position. Ethan shrugged and took off his shoes. He also sat down in the same position in front of her.

" I might remember after we start playing." He told her. Genesis scoffed. "Either way I'm going to win." she murmured. Ethan narrowed his eyes and snorted. "You? Pfft, I'm going to win, don't be so full of yourself."

Genesis glared at him. "I'm not going to argue with an idiot."

...

"See what did I tell you I won didn't I?" Ethan smirked. Genesis crossed her arms and looked over the board. "You cheated! I'm sure of it!" She declared.

"Uh uh I won fair and square." He told her. "I'll win this time, don't get so arrogant!" Genesis declared confidently.

" Whatever you say sis," Ethan smirked knowing he lied to her and is pretty good at the game.

….

" You lose," Ethan smirked.

"Let's play another round!" Genesis humphed.

…..

"Again!"

...

"Again!"

….

"You're cheating." Genesis took a pillow and threw it at her brother. Ethan dodged and took the same pillow. He threw it back to her and they went on throwing the pillows back and forth.

After they finished they cleaned up the living room and headed to sleep with content smiles on their faces.

Both of them were glad that they could do some bonding together.
