« You're finally here, expressed Mona to him before dragging me next to her. Bradley, this is my partner:Max!»
Bradley. Of course. How couldn't i notice my girlfriend could be related to him?? They don't even look alike!
We both took our time to do like a staring contest until Bradley felt his family's glare that forced him to offer his hand. He's pretending to not know me at all. I played along and shaked his hand.
« Well, Maximilian, it is a pleasure to meet you, he lied, grabbing my hand harder.
- Yeah. The pleasure is reciprocative, Brad, i replied.
- Wow, already comfortable yet to give me a nickname, i see?
- It's my way to familiarize myself with my pretty girlfriend's brother. I'm sure we could get along so well, you and i, i mockingly say.
- You bet.»
He finally let go off my hand and the rest of the family exchanged a confused stare at each others. He went immediately upstairs with his luggages, refusing the butler's service.
« Hmm... We're waiting for you, sweetheart, their mother tells Bradley, still bewildered by what happened!
- Yes indeed, her husband replied! Let's gather around the table and enjoy a good dinner.»
They both went to the dinning room, whispering to each others words. As i start following them, Mona stopped me by grabbing my wrist.
« What was that about, she asked? Have you two met before?
- Bradley was in my college but was most of all... somewhat my rival, i guess. But let's talk about that later. I don't want to ruin anything.»
I kissed her forehead to reassure her. I should get passed that stupid rivalry we used to have. It is now far beyond us... even if Brad still look pissed off by just my whole presence.
But seriously... Mona, that sweethearted angel, related to that jerk? That was for sure a shocking surprise. After the X-Game, when he tried to kill us, me, my dad and Tank, his right-arm, i never thought of seeing him ever again. And now, i have to celebrate christmas and new year with him?? But come to think of it... this could be somewhat fun. I am accepted by the Uppercrust family, i'm with his sister for a year now... even though i don't want to fight with him, that kind of amuse me to see him so irritated by my presence.
... no, i should actually grow up and get past through that. I'm not 18 anymore and Bradley had enough lessons. Let's not ruin anything. It would be good for the both of us... But mostly for my girlfriend and the parents, let's not forget that!
We all sat around the table, waiting for Bradley to join.
