She didn't know how to ease her so so she always spoke softly to her. She wanted to appear harmless and cool to her sister-in-law.
But what she didn't know was that, her actions of appearing harmless and cool scared the girl more than if she were go at her.It like the calm before the storm.
Although Aiden had told her, time without number that Everlette wouldn't harm her. She just couldn't get pass her initial fear although she thought herself to be quite brave.
"Babe, you're dating me not her. How could you take her side. How could you have fallen for her devilish charms so soon." Aiden whined like a kid whose favourite toffee just fell to the ground.
"Oh shut up, I'm leaving." She went away before Aiden could continue with his theatrics, leaving Yolanda to deal with her childish boyfriend.
While Aiden was enjoying with his beloved, Everlette had been thinking about the future.
She was really happy for Aiden but she couldn't help thinking about what the future held for both she and her father.
At a point in time she was actually felt jealous of Aiden. Although he lost his parents tragically, at least he who he was, what he wanted, what his future looked like, at least he could perceive it.
He also knew who his enemies and his allies. He knew who he was, and now he also had a life partner. Someone to live for.
Meanwhile, she didn't even know she was. She only knew that she was her father's daughter and a sister to Aiden.
She and enemies she didn't know of. But for her future, she had to train in hopes to become stronger than her enemy.
Both she and her father had grown very fond of Aiden. Her father saw him as a son and she had taken him as a brother.
How would they move on. Two years weren't two days, they couldn't move on from it like lessons in a semester.
A lot of memories had been made that couldn't be forgotten or licked up in a safe somewhere to be forgotten.
Her father might be okay but she wouldn't be. Aiden is the first person apart form her father that she has gotten close to.
Although she always posted as nonchalant. He was really special to her.
She'd started the day he'd leave and go back to his family.
*****
Another day after school, she sat in the garden with Aiden sipping on some green tea.
Everlette's heart was in turmoil as she listened to Aiden.
"Sounds like a good plan all the best"
"You know you don't sound very sincere. If I didn't know better I'd think you'd want me to fail. " He gazed at her with a troubled face, trying to find the source of his unfounded worries.
She gazed at the boy beside her for a while before turning her gaze to the bickering Aki and Deba"Then it's good that you better."
Although he loved this little sister of his. Right at this moment he wished
he could knock her head or something, anything." You'll know that I'll always be here for you right?" As wise and knowledgeable as Everlette was, she also had her silly moments just like everyone else.
"Huh?" She'd got lost in her thoughts and didn't hear what he said.
Yes, she zoned out.
As perfect as she looked to the eye, she was just like everybody else. Everlette has a lot of issues, most of the issues she didn't even know were issues.
She also didn't like complicated things. Thats she always speaks her mind without care whether it'd be to your liking or not.
She doesn't like to best about the bush. That's also the reason why she doesn't like dealing with emotional stuff. To her, emotions complicate things. So she avoids them as much as possible.
Her brain was older than her body, but her hear t was still like that of a child. She still had no idea of how to deal with the most basic of emotions.
If he didn't want to hit her before, now he really wished to. The only thing holding him back was the fact that he was going to get his ass handed to him if he even tried as much to flick her forehead.
"I said I'll be here for you. I've noticed your change on behaviour recently. You're like a Pandora box, I won't know until you tell me. " He pinched her arm and earned a slap to the head.
"Who are you calling a Pandora box. You really don't like your life eh?" She said with playful seriousness.
" Of I do. Blood is sweet you know?" He brought out his fangs and and licked them. His hungry eyes was espressive enough for even the most dumbest individual to decipher. He looked like a comical character of Dracula.
Everlette couldn't help but his head again. He was so silly. She sometimes pitied Yolanda.
"Ow, what was that for? How many more brain cells do you want me to lose. Do you want your sister-in-law to leave me? " He pushed out his bottom lip childishly, sulking.
Anyone would have fallen for his childish antics. But Everlette was anyone. His actions only earned him a scornful size up from Everlette.
After two years with he babyish Aiden, she was long used to his his not so charming charms.
"I really pity Yolanda. Dating a baby, marrying a baby, having a baby with a baby, taking of two babies all alone. How pitiful." She pushed her bottom lip forward, her brows creased worry whiles shaking her head sorrowfully.
If not for that undisguised ridicule in her orbs, you'd think she really meant it."
Aiden widened his eyes in comical shock, " Are you my ally or enemy. How could you say that? Don't jinx my luck." He continued acting like a wounded lamb.
" Stop acting already. You're acting is just so so"
