"Hmm, what are we having for dinner. Whatever it is, scents so nice, can't wait to have a taste." Alexia says, walking into the dinning room.
"Of course it's delicious, you should know I only cook the best for my family." Mrs Greg says, dishing out the food into smaller portions for her family.
"Hi mum." Aaron greets placing a kiss on his mother's lips, then goes ahead to sit next to his sister. Alexia shifts uncomfortably on her sits. The air suddenly feels so hot and tensed, she gets up from her seat, walks around the dinning room and then seats down.
"Okay... what's going on, are the two of you fighting." Mrs Greg asks suspiciously.
" Nope."
"No." Alexia and Aaron answered at the same time.
"Are you guys.... hey honey, welcome." Mrs Greg greets, wrapping her hands around her husband waist, kissed him on the lips.
"What is this I'm hearing, that the both of you are fighting." Mr Greg asks, sitting down.
"No, we are not fighting." Alexia answered, she is not fighting with her brother, she is only avoiding him. There is a clear difference.
"It better be, cause I and your mother would be travelling tommorow evening, and I don't want you bringing down my house to the ground before we come back."
"What! You can't travel Dad. The both of you can't travel." Alexia exclaims. She can't stay alone in this house, with her brother. So many things could happen between the both of them, what if they both cross the line and do the unacceptable.
"We will only be gone for a week, we are not gonna stay long." The mother explains. The short trip, might not be long for them but it's long for her, really long.
Alexia could already see the table turning, the relationship between her and her brother wasn't the same anymore. He already has a feeling that she is in love with him and she, she, she is very sure that her brother also loves her, and not the brotherly kind of love.
*****************
Once dinner was over, Alexia helped her mum in clearing the dishes, then after that she went up to her room, only find Aaron sitting on her bed.
"What are you doing in my room Aaron." She asked him lazily.
"I don't know. I just feel like sleeping in your room tonight." Aaron answered shrugging his shoulder.
"We are no longer little kids anymore Aaron. We no longer share a room Aaron." Alexia replied her brother, in a bored tone rolling her eyes.
"Come on sis. We both shared a room, even after we grew up."
"Aaron that stopped after puberty came in. You can't sleep in my room tonight, and that is final. I'm going to have my bath, and I do not want to find you in here, by the time I get back." She glared at him, then took her towel from the wardrobe and walked into the bathroom.
Once Alexia finished taking her bath, she came out of the bathroom in just a towel having the mindset that her brother, had already left the room. But she was wrong, her brother was infact still in her room.
"What the f*ck Aaron. Why are you still in my room?." She asked her hand holding her towel tightly.
Aaron got up from her bed with a sly smile on his face, he walked to her his smile not leaving his face for even a single minute. "Well... I decided to see my beautiful sister's face, before I call it a night. That way, I would get to dream only sweet dreams." He grinned, then placed a kiss on her cheek.
Alexia eyes got wide open, her hand touching her cheek involuntarily. "What.. uhm.. why.. did.." She stuttered, trying her possible best to form complete sentence.
"I see you are lost for words, but that's good. It shows that I do have effect on you." He smirked at her, then placed another kiss on her cheek before walking out of her room.
Alexia stood rooted to the ground, her hand on her cheek. "What just happened?." She asked out loud.
*********
"Bye mum, bye dad. Have a safe trip." Alexia yells, waving at her parents, who are already strapped in the car seat.
"The both of you should behave okay, I do not want to hear any complains." Mrs Greg warns.
"Yes mum, I promise we would be in uttermost good behavior and nothing more." Aaron promised, placing a hand on his chest. Alexia rolls her eyes, she watched her dad drive outside the compound.
"Well... I guess we are alone in this house now." Aaron states, hands in pocket.
"Yeah, we are." Alexia replies, awkwardly, coughing out.
"So.... it's a Saturday, and we don't have school, so what about we do something fun. Or do you have any plans." Aaron asks.
"What, do you have in mind." Alexia asks. She knows she's treading on a risky path. She shouldn't be agreeing to this, she does not exactly knows what kind of fun he has in his minds. Well..what could possibly be wrong in having a little fun with my brother, this isn't the first time the both of us are having fun, so yeah, there's absolutely nothing wrong that could go wrong. She thinks.
"Let's play truth or dare." He said. Why does her hearth beats really fast as he said those words, truth or dare is one of their favorite games, so there is nothing wrong with playing such a game.
"I can see you are already having cold feet, why don't we play balloon stomp." He suggest, with a grin.
"Seriously, that's so childish." Alexia rolls her eyes, shaking her head at him.
"Do you know what I think, I think the reason why you are having cold feet, it's because you know I'm going to stomp on more balloons than you." Aaron challenges. "Seriously, you know you can't beat me, and if you think this little talk would make me change my mind, then it won't." She states stubbornly, walking past her brother.
"Oh yeah, I always knew I was always better than you in stomping balloons. I was always one hundred percent sure that you were cheating and that's how you always won me. Ugh, I guess it's because, you know that I'm not just that little twin brother anymore who couldn't see you cheating and now that I'm grown up, I can catch you whenever you cheat." Aaron whistled, walking right behind his sister.
"Okay fine, I will play but let it be known that I'm only playing this game because I want to and not because you talked me into it." Alexia says stubbornly.
"Yeah yeah, I totally believe that." He mutters, "whatever.." Alexia retorts.
