Taming A Billionaire - Chapter 707
The third point of view:
Neon didn’t need a prophet to tell him that his position in Ailee’s heart was threatened. He wanted to refuse the date badly but there was no other reason why he had to refuse Ailee hanging out with Theodore and she was determined to be with him. If he refused Ailee that freedom, it was obvious they would end up fighting and their relationship would suffer.
Moreover, it was better they had a date where he could have his eyes on them. Wasn’t there a saying, “Keep your enemies close and your enemies closer” except that in this case, it was a competitor. But then, he would be there to monitor and supervise their date – it would be chaste.
“Of course, that’s a good idea,” Ailee agreed, happy to know that Neon consented to the date. She knew it, her senior year would be great!
“I could also use that opportunity to get to know your brother more,” Theodore said, flashing his pearly white teeth at Neon.
However, Neon had a stoic expression as he tried to figure out this Theodore guy. Was he genuinely interested in Ailee or one of those assholes trying to get into Ailee’s pants? If he was going to have an opponent, Neon hoped he was worthy.
“Sure,” Neon said calmly even though inwardly, he was mocking him. He’d see how tonight goes out. Neon might have agreed for him to date Ailee “for tonight” but that doesn’t mean “tonight” would go well for him.
“Then, I’ll text you the place and time,” Ailee said to him.
“You have my number?” He smirked sexily, Neon rolled his eyes. He had to be better than this. Does he think Ailee would fall for that?
However, to his shock, a blush crept up Ailee’s face and Neon’s Jaw almost dropped to the ground. What happened to the stern Ailee he knew?
“I have your sister’s number….” she alluded that Eve added his number as well.
“That’s good then,” Theodore said, taking a step towards her when Neon got into his way, standing to his full height and looking intimidating.
That made Theo’s brows raise and he looked between Ailee and Neon uncertainty.
Ailee upon noticing the tensed atmosphere smiled nervously. She beat Neon on the shoulder playfully and said, “Don’t mind him, my brothers are quite overprotective,”
Theo gave her an understanding look as well and glanced one last time at Neon who now looked grim before leaving for class.
As soon as Theodore left, Ailee turned with a sigh and stood before Neon with her arms akimbo, “I thought you were on my side?”
“I was until he tried to touch you,” Neon stated expressionlessly.
“He’s no date,” Ailee said.
“He’s not your date until the date,” He pointed out, “Until then, he better keep his hand to himself,”
Ailee shook her head, “You and Allen are unbelievable,” She took her bag and left for class leaving Neon standing all by himself.
Neon ran his hand through his hair, how was he going to keep up the role of a brother and a secret admirer at the same time without overstepping the boundaries. It was much more difficult than he thought.
Meanwhile…
Allen didn’t chase after Neon after he took off with Ailee, his sister. The both of them were much closer than he thought nor was he under the illusion he would break them off in a day.
What was he going to do for today? The school was becoming boring with each passing day and that was when he saw her, Eve Donovan.
She alighted from their jeep with her brother, the one who has his eyes on his sister, Ailee. Allen dragged his thumb across his lips as if deep in thought.
After finding out Neon’s secret, he was no longer comfortable with him around his sister. Him keeping all the boys in school away from his sister was a form of protecting her but his dumb twin would never understand his intentions.
Teenage love never lasts and ends after they graduate from high school. Moreover, eighty percent of the guys at school wanted to just get sex and that was it. Unfortunately, his sister would not be the subject of their experiment.
So he enforced the law, proclaiming his sister was off-limits and thanks to his popularity and power, no one dared to disobey unless they wanted to get on his bad side.
He had sincerely thought that Neon supported the idea and helped keep his sister safe and innocent. Who knew that he was securing Ailee all for himself. He was a smart ass, he had to give him credit for that.
Unfortunately, Allen changed his mind and as he stared at the twins, a brilliant idea hit him. Since Neon liked Ailee, what if Ailee likes Theodore? He smirked, that would be quite an interesting drama to watch.
But then, before Allen commenced, he had to make peace with one of the twins he offended. Eve Donovan. Wouldn’t it be interesting as well if Ailee dated Theodore and he dated Eve? It would make the headlines: Twin siblings date fellow twins. But most of all, the look on Neon’s face would be priceless.
Allen stared at Theodore who left before his sister and she properly parked their car. He took out his phone and leaned back into his leather seat as he made an order. What do ladies love so much?
After making his orders, Allen leaned back into his seat, watching intently as Eve stepped out of the car and made her way into the school. His eyes never left her and he whistled at the sight of her swaying hips as she walked. Eve was a beautiful woman, it wouldn’t be a loss to have her on his bed – he hoped Theodore was understanding.
Allen never left his car until his order arrived and he took the bouquet from the delivery man.
“It was time to make a move,” Allen decided as he shut the car door, readjusted his blazer, and stepped into the school ground.
