Chapter 81: Obsession vs Obsession
For Alicia, the most important thing in her life is her little brother's love and trust, and when she listened to his words earlier, she hid these feelings of intense sadness as she doesn't think it is right for her to know everything about her little brother.
But now, seeing him mocking her feelings in front of her, and just like he said, it is a test, but it doesn't matter to her. The only one in the world whom she loves with all her heart would play with her feelings like that—even if it's a joke, she couldn't take it.
But she still loves him, and even she admits that her love for him can sometimes be too much for him. With a heavy heart, she has now decided to act like this in front of him to make him realize it is alright to play with her, even if it is not a joke, because she would doubt herself seeing him act like that towards her, and it is not what she wants to have in their romantic relationship.
So even when her own heart is almost breaking, seeing him act so desperate in front of her, she wouldn't stop. Alicia wanted him to feel what she felt just now when he started laughing, seeing her genuine care for him, and she was not pleased with how immature he acted.
It is her duty to change him for the better future of both of them, so she will continue this act a little more so he wouldn't forget this lesson.
'Little Aiden, even if it tears my heart to do this to you, I will still continue for both of us,' she thought.
So, she said the words she never thought she'd say in her life ever again after this day.
"Little Aiden, I think you don't love me anymore! You are just playing with me like every other girl!"
Sadness could be seen in her eyes as her hands trembled a little; however, she still continued.
"How can I trust you if you play with my emotions?"
Aiden, hearing his own big sis Alicia—whom he loves most in the world—say she is finding it hard to trust him, felt broken. If he had known his harmless pranks would upset her this much, he would have never even thought of doing this, and even now, he regretted not showing his true self to her.
But he couldn't accept her words at all, never in his life thinking to himself:
'No! No! No! This shouldn't be happening to me! Big sis belongs to me! She should love me, trust me with all her heart!
Only me!'
'What have I done? I will fix everything, even if I have to beg her to do it.'
So he said in his desperate voice, unable to stop his voice from cracking:
"B—Big sis, please… just forgive me this time. I know I am immature, b—but I will change!"
If he heard any more disheartening words from her, he wouldn't be able to stop the tears from streaming down his face.
Alicia, seeing the look on his face, could tell that if she pushed him any further, her little brother would start to cry. She didn't want to make him cry, as her heart wouldn't be able to take it, and she would also follow after him. So, she broke her facade, and a concerned look appeared on her beautiful face, replacing her earlier cold look.
She quickly moved closer to him, closing the distance, and hugged him tightly, repeatedly saying in her soft, soothing voice:
"Nothing was real, Little Aiden."
"Nothing was real, Little Aiden, so don't feel upset. I just wanted you to experience what it's like to have your emotions played around with by the person you love the most."
Aiden, while being hugged by his big sis, suddenly felt confusion, relief, and many other emotions on his face, but no one could see his face currently buried in his big sis's bosom. Hearing her words about how she wanted him to experience the same feeling she felt, Aiden didn't know what to say, but one thing was sure in his heart: he never wanted to experience that feeling ever again in his life.
Still, he was not completely sure, so he asked her once again in his weak voice while still in the hug:
"A—Are you really telling the truth, big sis?"
Alicia, hearing his words asking her to confirm if she was telling the truth, felt remorseful for her earlier actions because she knew that if something like this had happened to her, she would be crying and sobbing for hours just to calm down. She was ashamed of her behavior, but it was still important for him to realize these things in his mind, so she didn't regret what she did earlier.
She replied to him in a soft voice to soothe his mind while rubbing his back with her hands.
"Yes, Aiden, I am telling the truth. Do you think I am capable of ever hating you?"
Aiden, still not completely stable due to the sudden change of emotions, felt solace in her comfort and said in a weak voice, still thinking about his big sis, and he didn't believe his big sister would ever hate him.
"It's alright, I believe you now, but I don't like how cold you acted to me earlier. You didn't even let me hug you."
Alicia, hearing him complain to her, didn't stop him or argue with him, as she also didn't like how she behaved earlier. So she kept her silence and listened to him while rubbing his back.
He mentioned all the times when he acted innocent in front of her, and Alicia didn't stop him, only listening to him silently while comforting him with her presence.
But it didn't stop there, as he even mentioned the time when he wanted to have sex with her due to his attraction and love toward her after turning 16 (considered an adult in this world under the rule of UEF), but he didn't push her, thinking she wasn't comfortable with it at the moment, so he decided to give her time.
Listening to him share all these embarrassing things without any shame, Alicia was very embarrassed as a beet-red blush could be seen on her beautiful face.
'How stupid I was, thinking irrelevant things all this time. I just had to push him a little, and we would have shared our first night together. I wouldn't have thought of getting drunk to hide embarrassment and doing the deed with him.'
'How stupid can you be, Alicia! You just have to ask him.'
Now that she knows all these things, she has decided tonight is going to be their first romantic night together, as she couldn't wait to become one with him. However, Aiden didn't stop there and shared many more things, like how Andreas Shade had threatened him, how he thought her daughter was spying on him at school, and other things with her.
But even in this emotionally unstable state, Aiden still didn't share anything about the system with her. He hugged her even more tightly, wrapping his arms around her to show his love for her.
Fifteen minutes had passed since Aiden started sharing all the things he usually didn't share with her, and he felt like a weight had lifted from him after sharing everything with her, but his emotions were still not stable.
He released himself from the hug, moving slightly backward, and Alicia didn't stop him, thinking he had finally calmed down. She felt relieved knowing his emotions were stable again.
Standing in front of his big sis Alicia, Aiden looked at her beautiful face, admiring the person he loved in his heart. The earlier incident had shaken him to the core. Suddenly, he moved both his hands to cup both her cheeks, not applying too much force to hurt her, but his grip was still solid, and Alicia couldn't get away without a little struggle.
Alicia, seeing Aiden unexpectedly cupping both her cheeks, didn't move at all and let him do what he wanted, as she saw him slowly moving his handsome face closer to hers.
'Is he going to kiss me now? What should I do? There are still people present here,' she thought.
Only after a second of thought did she think in her mind again with a calm mind:
'Why should I care about who is watching us? If Aiden wants to kiss me, I should just kiss him without any care, anywhere and everywhere he wants.'
She had made up her mind and wouldn't care if anyone saw her or not, so she closed her eyes to indicate by gesture that she wouldn't mind being kissed in front of others.
But a few seconds had passed, and her lips were still dry—not touching his soft lips at all. She felt a little nervous and gulped slightly, waiting for another few seconds, but she still didn't feel his lips on hers. Getting impatient, she opened her eyes to see what was happening, as his hands were still on both her cheeks, and she could also feel his breaths.
Opening her deep black eyes, Alicia met his deep black eyes with her own, but she could feel it in her bones that something was different about Aiden's eyes, as there was an intense swirling in his eyes from which she could feel his intense obsession and deep love for her.
She saw his lips moving only a few inches closer to her own as she heard his deep, emotional, obsessive voice: "You are mine and mine alone forever, Alicia."
Alicia felt a tingling sensation in her body hearing his intense voice and seeing the obsession in his eyes as a wide smile appeared on her beautiful face, and a deep swirling also appeared in her own eyes, matching his, and her lips moved.
"You are also mine forever, Aiden."
A smile appeared on Aiden's handsome face, matching her own, as he quickly moved his lips closer to her soft pink lips and started kissing her soft lips intensely without any intention of stopping.
