a brand new ending✍ genie + alex
When Alex spoke, she jumped a little in her seat. She grinned widely, then answered with a loud “Yes!” She wasn’t sure on what she was going to do first when she got to her new home. In her first foster family, they just sat her down to do some coloring. That was cool. Genie got bored of it eventually and found that there was nothing to do. In fact, Genie had brought a catalog with her with all the stuff she wants, which is mostly toys. As in, Barbie and Lego. That aside, she’s also been looking at furniture. Her first choice was the bed with the slide, but that idea was shut down by one of the kids at the care home claiming ‘Genie was too big.’
Genie wasn’t bullied a lot at the care home. In fact, she wasn’t bullied at all. But she would easily get offended. Once, someone made a comment on how spaghetti like her arms were, and not understanding what they meant, Genie pulled their chair out just when they were about to sit down. She felt bad afterwards, and confessed up but Genie always had moments where she wouldn’t be that sweet girl but she would act like she was with the Devil. She’s very sneaky and sometimes even deceptive. People should keep an eye on Genie when she gets like that.
Alex couldn't help but grin at Genie's apparent excitement. He hoped that she would be happy living with him, and would do anything to make sure that she was. He wanted to make sure that she really felt at home there, like she could trust him and tell him anything she needed to, and ask for things that she wanted or needed. But he had a feeling that it would all end up well. After all, Genie and Alex were already pretty close from knowing each other from the orphanage.
"Good, that's what I like to hear," he chuckled. "I was thinking that maybe tomorrow, we could go shopping and find you some things for your room that you'll like. I didn't want to try to decorate your whole room without your input," he smiled as they pulled into his driveway. Alex thought that he probably felt as excited as Genie was, but he wasn't as used to showing emotion as she was, at least not around other people, and hadn't been since he had lost his wife.
