Chapter 32

Wilson was so happy when he heard Riley was going to do it. He lied to her about using her power to protect people when in the real sense Wilson is using it to gain political power but she doesn't have to know this.

" you are really happy about this " giving her father a confused look. it is her that should be happy not him

" Finally my dream is coming true Princess. I created something that can save the world " smiling

" Isn't that to the extreme? save the world?" her question got him confused " I should be starting from small. you know, protecting the neighbourhood or something, like spiderman "

" This is no movie this is reality. there are greater things out there than neighbourhood ok " Riley nodded in understanding " you know what?"

" What?"

" I " he reached for Riley's hand, using the tomb to massage it " I have a present for you "

" A present?" confused as to why he wanted to give her a present all of a sudden " my birthday is not until 4 months"

" yeah, I almost forgot about that. but this is not a birthday present"

" what is it "

" you and Aiden like each other right?" his question threw her by surprise

" Dad come on. I took you we are..." he cut her off

" you two can date," he announced. Riley was left speechless

" What?" was the only thing that managed to come out of her mouth

" you two can date. I know you are surprised. I never imagined that both my experiments will...I mean. My daughter and the boy I raised will develop feelings for each other. but it doesn't matter. Aiden is a good boy so I have nothing to worry about. "

" you..you..you mean you don't have a problem with it? we can date? hold hands in front of you " Wilson nodded " are you for real" she screamed in excitement

" wow, wow. no shouting in the house " Wilson scold, making Riley laugh

" oh my God, thanks Dad "

" I can't believe I just approved of my daughter's dating life. this feels weird" rubbing his hair back and forth " be careful "

" I will "

" and no sex "

" what the fuck Dad " looked embarrassed. her face was burning red " it's too early for that "

" well I have to say it " he shrugged " teenagers have no control"

" you shouldn't worry " Riley was so happy about this information. she didn't have to worry about the cameras and or getting caught and she won't have to lie again. may be. just maybe her life wasn't a total mess yet. things were beginning to fall into their place. Her dad is alive she had a wonderful boyfriend and a friend. she will get to use her power properly. people will no longer hate her or be scared of her

" is it set, " Wilson asked as he walked into the lab with Riley behind him. Riley's eyes fell on Aiden who was dressed in a bluish unisex shirt and trousers hospital patient uniform. she made her way to him

" yes, Dr Wilson "a young blonde female scientist responded. while a much older guy who was seating in front of the monitor nodded

" hey " smiling at Aiden. she got to him and took his hand, Aiden give it a light squeeze and smiled

" Are you alright?"

" Yeah, why?" wondering why he will ask that all of a sudden.

"your eyes aren't so bright as they use to be. did you have trouble sleeping?" With little worries in his eyes. Riley was surprised, how did he know

" Yeah. had a hard time sleeping and when I finally fell asleep that Damn alarm work me up " Aiden smiled at his little angry princess

" Cute " in a low tone making her flash red

" guess what?" excitedly

" What?"

" my Dad said we can date " Aiden could see the happiest in her eyes as she spoke this made his heart race. She was so happy about dating him, making him want to pull her in for a warm hug and kiss her until she suffocated. But Aiden remained calm he was so lucky that he had self-control

" he already told me, " He said

" Really " looked in the direction of her father who wasn't paying any attention to them " when?"

" Yesterday, when you left with Linda "

" oh " swinging his hand " sooooo "

" What?" with an eyebrow raised

" We don't have to hide anymore. we can kiss right ?" she blushed so hard. Aiden Lead down to her level

" Yeah. why? you want to kiss me that bad " to her ear. Riley playfully pushes him away

" No way " calling everyone's attention. Wilson raised an eyebrow at them " Sorry Dad " feeling embarrassed. Wilson frowned

" After this, you go prepare her for the test " he instructed the blonde lady

" ok "

" Riley follow her " Riley nodded in understanding

" what test?" With curiosity in Aiden's tone.

" I told my Dad about what we discussed yesterday. then said they will run tests on me "

" yes. yes I entirely forgot about that " looked worried at this point. Aiden leads down to her " Listen. do you trust me " whispering

" Why are we whispering " she whispered back

" Riley, just answer. " he became very serious. this scared her a bit

" Yes "

" I want you to forget all that I taught you " Riley squeezed her forehead, confused at his word.

" Why?" in complete lost

" just trust me ok? make sure they don't know that you have control now ok "

" How am an going to do that "

" make mistakes. a lot ok " telling her what to do

" Why did you teach me in the first place if you don't want them to know " Riley was so confused, what is wrong with Aiden

" Riley, please. it is not something that I can explain. just trust me and do as I say. if you don't have control it will delay them "

" Delay them from wha..." Riley was cut off by the blonde lady

" Miss Riley?"

" coming," she said to the lady before looking back at Aiden

" just do as I say "

Riley followed the lady out with confusion written all over her face. why will Aiden tell her to fake not having control? what is wrong if they knew? and delay them from what? there is something Aiden was not telling her and she needs to have a chat with him when the test is over.

" Are you alright " The blonde lady interrupted her thought as they walk

" Yeah. yes, am fine " smiling at her.

" I thought you were lost because you don't seem to hear me "

" Oh. you said something?"

" I was saying that I am so excited to work with you " smiling

" why?" with an eyebrow raised

" you are a legend. I was told stories about how you were the first human to survive the experiment and you were only a baby. Aiden did as well but you are the 100 per cent success

" Oh."

" Am Lisa by the way. 26 years old and I graduated from Oxford University "

" I see " it was an awkward situation for Riley because She never asked for that information

" didn't need to know that. sorry " apologizing for her mistake

" no. It's ok. you are cool " she complained

" thanks " smiling brightly
