The Next Day
Genesis held the coffee mug close to her mouth and blew on the warm tea. She watched out the window as families spent time together. She never had that. She jumped slightly when she heard the buzzard from the front door go off. The maid, Clarice Angelo, went to answer it. Who do we know that would come over here? Genesis wondered to herself.
"Miss Genesis?" Clarice asked in her French accent. "There's a boy named Bradin Westerly here to see you." She frowned. Clarice didn't know that Genesis knew any boys. Clarice also knew that Genesis's parents didn't know.
Genesis smiled when she heard this and jogged to the front door. "Thanks!" She called back to Clarice. She leaned up against the doorway where Bradin was standing with a box of something. She crossed her arms across her chest and smiled slyly. "Well, well, well." She smiled sarcastically. "Bradin Westerly…couldn't stay away from my charm, could you…or was it my drama-filled life?" She laughed and so did Bradin.
"Maybe I'll tell you…can I come in?" Bradin laughed as well as he struggled to hold up that rather large box. Genesis jumped slightly, startled, when she realized she hadn't even let him in yet. She laughed.
"Of course!" She smiled and held the door open wider. She shut the door behind him and walked him into her living room. "So…what's in the box?" She eyed the large brown packing box.
"Decorations," he said simply and Genesis frowned.
"Decorations?" She asked, confused. He opened the box and pulled out a miniature three-foot Christmas tree.
"Decorations," he repeated with a smile. Genesis smiled at him and jumped on him with a hug. He chuckled and put the Christmas tree down so he could hug her. Tears came to her eyes.
"You remembered…" she whispered.
"There wasn't much to remember," Bradin shrugged the compliment off. "I just knew how much you loved our decorations at home, so, we had these laying around, and--"
"Thank you," she smiled brightly, cutting Bradin off. "I've…I've never had Christmas decorations," she laughed lightly and wiped at the few tears on her warm cheek. "This…this means--"
This time, it was Bradin's turn to cut Genesis off. "Don't worry about it," he put his hand on hers. "Like I said, they were laying around." He shrugged. "So…shall we?" He pulled out a strand of garland and held it up. Genesis laughed and nodded.
A/N: Okay, so it's short…but I really wanted to stop it here to get the next chapter to have a "funny" effect, lol. So…yeah! Lemme know what you think!
