“I’m not entirely blameless, it’s wrong of me to forget who I lend my book to,” Ailee said to him, “If you don’t mind, I would love to know your name once again -“
“Austin,” He introduced himself before Ailee was even through her words.
“Whoah, Austin, that’s a nice name,” She breathed, taking him in. The boy was innocently cute and she didn’t need to consider his glasses to know that he’s a nerd.
Unfortunately, innocently cute guys weren’t her type. Ailee needed a strong alpha male, one who was respectful yet took what he wanted. She bet one aggressive move from her and Austin would scramble away. So sorry, she doesn’t date babies.
“A-hem,” Austin cleared his throat awkwardly, “So I eh..” He scratched the back of her head, “I marked some valuable pointers in?in between the texts that would help you, not that you’re not smart alresdy” He rambled on, “I just thought you might need them,”
“Aww,” she complimented him, “That’s nice of you,” while flipping through the pages and confirming his hardwork.
“This must have taken quite some time,” She noticed.
“No, no,” Austin shook her hands at once, “It was nothing and I’m glad to do it,”
Ailee glanced up from her book, “I don’t know how to thank you,”
He boomed at her, “It’s nothing but if you really want to thank me, you can go that over a cup of coffee,”
“Over a cup of coffee?” Ailee’s brows shut up.
“In that cafeteria,” Austin intentionally lowered his expectation instantly when he saw the way her face changed. He was not confident enough to ask her out directly and had used the idea of coffee to try his luck but it seems a failure.
Ailee did not frown, she was just surpised. But when he changed their setting to the cafeteria, a frown finally appeared. As she thought, he was not confident enough. But then, to honour her words, she said,
“Sure, I would have coffee with you in the…..” She trailed off as she saw Neon come to stand behind Austin.
Wonderful, here they come again. She wondered, if they placed a camera on her or something because they seem to know the perfect moment to interrupt.
Her gaze returned apologetically to Austin who began to perspire as he too sensed the presence of a certain terror.
“You brother is behind me, isn’t he?” Austin asked nervously, his hands clammy from fright.
“Yes,” Ailee answered, pinching the bridge of her nose.
“Which of them?” Austin was beginning to shake.
Poor boy, Ailee thought. Another victim to her brothers bullying.
“The lesser evil,” Was Ailee’s reply. She mouthed, “I’m sorry,” to him.
“Neon,” Austin recognized that and was a bit grateful for that. Atleast, his life was guaranteed.
He gave Ailee a wry smile before turning to the stoic faced Neon, he gulped.
“Get lost,”
It was just two words from Neon but Austin knew those words decided his fate and he hightailed it out of there. No little crush on Ailee was worth his life. He had heard of the cruelty of her brothers and didn’t want to be a victim.
“Happy?” Ailee glared at her Neon. She was tired of their invasion. At this rate, she would die a virgin. Hopefully, she doesn’t attend the same university with her brothers else she would hang herself. She can’t take this shit anymore.
“Are you angry?” He tilted his head to the side inquiringly.
“No, I’m not,” She faked a smile that barely lasted a seconds before increasing her glare as she asked him, “Do I look like I’m happy?!”
“Calm down,” Neon told her, “This isn’t worth getting worked up for,”
But that nonchalant attitude pissed her the more.
“I don’t even interfere in your sex life!” She reminded him.
“I don’t have a sex life,” Neon was not ashamed to admit that.
“Of course, you don’t. I won’t even be surpised if you’re gay,” She retorted.
Neon frowned at her, “I’m not gay,”
She scoffed, wrapping her hand across her chest, “Really?”
“You want to confirm that?”
“What?” Ailee was confused by that ambiguous question. Why would she want to confirm that?
“Do you want to know if I’m attracted to women or not?” Neon asked, stepping closer to her and used his finger to trail down her arm seductively.
Ailee gulped, a shiver climbing down her spine.
“Do you want to know?” His voice lowered sexily and was quite tempting, while his eyes darkened as his gaze held hers.
Ailee wanted to take her eyes away but at the same time she was enticed by the emotion in there and for a moment, she was tempted to take up his offer. Her heart danced to a weird pitter patter tune and to her horror, she was turned on.
“Why would I want to know that?” She expressed disgust, “Gosh, I’m your sister, Neon!”
At the mention of “sister” Neon’s eyes turned icily dark and Ailee gulped, wondering what she had said wrong. His grip around her arm tightened to the point that Ailee had no choice but to cry out, “You’re hurting me, Neon,”
At that comment, the coldness in his gaze lowered as he lossened his grip as well.
“I’m not gay,” He said, then looked to her arm, “And I’m sorry for that,”
“S-sure,” Ailee muttered. She wasn’t sure what was going on with him anymore.
