Accept me as your boyfriend

It wasn't until the car parked right in front of the marriage registration office that she winded her eyes. She turned to face him in utter disbelief.

So he wasn't joking!

"Come on. Let's go before they close." Aiden urged her out of the car. He exited the car and made use of her momentary blackout. When she was able to get back to her senses they were already walking towards the building. She frowned and lifted her hand to touch his forehead. "Are you okay? This is a bit crazy and very unexpected especially from you." She commented worriedly. "Well you don't have a fever but let's go and get some medicine." She told him very gently.

Seeing her trying to escape he grinned. "No, I'm fine." He replied and held her hand in his. He started walking again. "Aiden." She called out again, in disbelief. "Stop. This is not crazy it's insane." She told him.

"You don't want to marry me?" He asked sounding pitiful.

"Sigh. Poor young man. Look how handsome he is who wouldn't want to marry him?" An auntie stopped and commented. "Tsk! Look at her she isn't committed to the relationship. I pity him, sister." The other auntie replied. "Yes yes. Kids nowadays forget what love is truly about!" Another auntie joined in and a small crowd was formed.

"I remember when me and my husband got married. We were rushed but it was truly memorable." Another aunty commented. "Young man if she isn't willing to be with you then just leave her." A brave aunty tapped Aiden on his shoulder.

"Sigh. But I love her…." Aiden sounded pitiful once again. "No no, no young man don't be fooled like this. If she truly cared about you she would marry you with no hesitation." The aunty replied.

"I have a daughter and she is a bit younger than you but she's very mature and beautiful. She's single and I'm sure she would love to marry you." The aunty took the opportunity. "She graduated from Harvard this year and she's very smart. She is quite likable too. I'm sure you would love her!" The aunty continued.

"What is this situation?' Genesis wondered feeling the pressure from all the aunties that just can't mind their own damn business!

"I don't know aunty…. I even let her have my first kiss. How can I do this when she took all my firsts?" Aiden sighed again. "Huh? She can't even take responsibility? So….. she took all your firsts. Humph! We are in modern times now. Sometimes the woman has to be a bit bolder too but she was being bold and didn't even take responsibility for you!"

"Poor child. You are so pitiful."

"Say, handsome what is there to like about her anyway?"

"Dump her right away!"

"Humph!"

"I promise you there are better of our gender out there."

"Yes, well said sister. There are more than enough fish in the sea!"

Genesis gritted her teeth and snaked her arm on Aiden's hand up to his elbow. She made it look extremely intimate and she pulled him inside the building. "Fine! Who's afraid huh? Let's get married! I'm a committed woman and I will take responsibility for you!"

The aunties glanced at their living figures and sighed in unison. "Sigh. Sometimes couples just need a little push." They commented on how their plan had worked and soon enough they dispersed.

Once they were inside the building Genesis froze. 'Crap! I did it on impulse' She thought. "So…. you are making me marry you, Genesis? I didn't expect this from you but I don't mind." Aiden told her and shrugged. Genesis swallowed nervously. This was not all in her plan.

"Wait. Your parents. Shouldn't we inform them first?" She came up with an excuse and he smirked. He took out his phone from his pockets and called his mother. "Mom, we are getting our marriage certificates you don't mind do you?" Aiden asked.

Genesis bit her lip anxiously. "No of course not. I will settle an appointment for you guys this weakened. I'm glad you finally agreed on getting your marriage certificates!" Mrs.Miller responded happily. Aiden lifted an eyebrow and glanced at Genesis.

"Mom we are about to get them rig-" Genesis snatched the phone from his hand quickly. "Aunty we will talk about with everyone first thank you for your support." She told her. "Ah okay. How about we have brunch this weekend and then we get the marriage certificate together." Mrs.Miller responded.

"Sure.." Genesis bid her goodbye and ended the phone call quickly. 'This can't be happening' she thought. She looked towards Aiden and pulled him out from the building. Aiden didn't stop her because his goal had been accomplished. He knew she wouldn't agree to marry him that quickly but he would get her one way or the other.

Right now he already had her trapped.

Genesis stopped and looked up at him with a serious expression. "I thought you were joking." She told him. He arched an eyebrow as if saying 'Do you think I'm the kind of guy that jokes around?' Genesis sighed and started walking back to the car.

"Genesis! You either get married to me right now or you have to accept me as your boyfriend." He told her. Genesis rolled her eyes. "You are too much. Drive me home." She replied not at all impressed. She opened the car door and sat down, She closed the door and put her seatbelt on nonchalantly.

Aiden grinned and opened the door. He covered her with his body and looked at her seriously. "Does it look like I'm joking?" He asked. Genesis laughed and she patted his shoulder. "You can be my boyfriend" She responded nonchalantly. She knew she was playing with fire but she still went along with it.

"Tell your mom we are dating and that we will be taking it slow. Our marriage will be taken out of the topic and they will focus more on our relationship." She added. This way the brunch this weekend would be solved.

Aiden chuckled at her way of thinking. "Mrs.Miller is very smart but our marriage isn't what she should be worried about." He replied mysteriously and closed the door. He walked to the driver's seat and started driving away happy that he had achieved what he wanted.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked not understanding. Aiden didn't respond.

Does she not realize that now he has the advantage? When their family is informed that they are dating he can be as close to her as he wishes.

Her heart will no longer be safe because he can now attack endlessly and in public.
