Anabelle bit on her lips, Isabella was going to kill her today.
“I didn’t mean to say it! It just slipped out of my mouth and Julie figured out the rest,” She confessed.
Isabella’s heart began to pound hard in her chest and even though she had an inkling of where this conversation was going, she didn’t want to acknowledge it until she heard it from her cousin’s mouth.
And just like that, Anabelle began to narrate what happened and how Julie came to know the truth of her pregnancy. Call it instinct or something but she was hardly through her story when something flew in her direction and she ducked at once, narrowly escaping from the impact.
It happened that what Isabella had thrown in her direction was no other than her telephone. Gosh, does she want to kill her or what?
“You told Julie about my pregnancy?!” Isabella fumed, striding over to her.
But Anabelle was smart enough to move away, “It was just a mistake and I convinced him to keep it a secret as well!” She shouted from behind the couch in the office.
“You’re fond of making mistakes, who knows who else you’d spill it to?” Isabella pointed out, failing to catch Anabelle who sneaked to the next seat.
There were a total of three couches in the office and were arranged to face one another. In one word, Anabelle and Isabella were tactically playing a game of run and chase with a mix of hide and seek in her office.
“Obviously, because I am human!” Anabelle retorted, still vigilant.
“I hardly make mistakes!” Isabella claimed.
Anabelle rolled her eyes, “Well, not everyone is an alien as you are,”
“Anabelle!” Isabella lunged at her but the girl was quick to move onto the next seat.
“Just tell Pedro the truth!”
“Of course, I will tell him the truth, you idiot! But that secret is meant to be a surprise!”
“Telling him now or later, it’s going to be a surprise anyway. What’s the big deal?!” Anabelle couldn’t understand how Isabella’s mind worked. It was strange.
“Of course it’s a huge deal! My child is a huge deal! Now come here?!” Isabella charged at Annabelle but it was a false move. She pretended to have chased after Anabelle by only moving her upper body yet remained at the same spot, thus scaring her to move.
The scared Anabelle who realized at the last minute that it was a false move tried to return to her previous position however she slipped from the tiled foot and fell.
A victorious smirk crossed Isabella’s expression, this was what she expected from that move, and rushed to go claim her prize, Anabelle.
However, she overestimated herself and didn’t get to see that Anabelle’s earrings had fallen off when she slipped. So she stepped on it in a hurry and found herself on the ground the next minute.
Stunned, both women peered at each other from their various positions, and before one could say, “Jack Robinson,” Anabelle and Isabella burst into laughter.

The third point of view:
“Where is Allen?” Ailee asked because she hasn’t set her eyes on him since that incident in the morning time.
“He said we should leave without him because he has something to do,” Neon said, opening the car for her to get in.
“Again?” Ailee frowned, this was the second time that they were leaving without him. Not that she missed him or something – God, she was happy not to see him with his irritating girlfriend’s for once- but it was strange for Allen to have missed coming home with them for two consecutive days.
Ailee knew it wasn’t because of their earlier argument, her brother was aloof and arrogant – he would have waived their argument to the back of his mind by now. But it was becoming strange; him leaving right after school was beginning to get suspicious.
“Just get in, your brother can perfectly take care of himself,” Neon said, gently pushing her into the seat and was attempting to put the seat belt for her when Ailee said,
“Don’t worry, I can do it,” She hurriedly said when he leaned too close for her liking.
In the past, she seemed to never have any problem with that gesture, however, lately, she became hyper-aware of Neon and she doesn’t even know why.
“No,” Neon protested but before he could help her out, Ailee had already put on the belt.
“See?” She gestured, “I’m good,” She smiled at him however Neon was not amused by her action.
“Why didn’t you want me to help you with the seat belt?” He asked her with a serious expression.
Ailee’s brows came together in a furrow, “Huh?” She was confused. Why was he suddenly making a huge deal out of nothing? She couldn’t understand his mood swings these days.
“Nothing,” Ailee lied, she didn’t want to admit it. She just felt uncomfortable with his gesture and thought to get some space between them. So why didn’t she say that to him? Ailee doesn’t know why but she felt she would hurt his feelings if she said that and she doesn’t want him to be hurt – even at the expense of her comfort? Whatever.
“Really?” Neon scrutinized her. He couldn’t explain it but he definitely felt like Ailee intentionally avoided him and he didn’t like it. The only reason he was still holding himself back from expressing his feelings was that he could spend time with her like this freely and care for her indirectly.
But if Ailee starts to avoid him without even knowing his feelings for her, it would be much harder to make her his. He would lose her. Unfortunately, he wasn’t ready to lose Ailee. She was his even though she might not know it. Yet.
“You just treat me so well that I feel like I’m becoming lazy,” Ailee said, laughing nervously and that brought a smile on his face.
“You’re my princess, you deserved everything,” He said, and before Ailee could blink, kissed her on the forehead leaving her speechless. Neon then walked around to the other side of the car to get to the driver’s seat.
Ailee was still recovering from that surprise peck when out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the Donovan twins and she leaned back into her seat.
Oh, God! Her heart began to race as she peered out through the window at Theodore who seemed to notice her gaze and turned at the same time in her direction. After Eve’s confession, Ailee didn’t know what to think anymore.
She was crushing on Theodore only to discover that her male interest was already taken by her. A blush crept up her face and thankfully, Neon didn’t notice it as he was busy starting the car.
However, Neon did notice the blond twin staring at Ailee and he glared at him before zooming off with much speed than required. Silence fell upon them and Neon couldn’t help but wonder if the twin was the reason for her quietness. He hoped not.
Ailee was in a world of her own, her head spinning with thoughts. Since the beginning of high school, she had anticipated getting a boyfriend – a dream her siblings thoroughly squashed – but now there were higher chances of her finally getting one, she was suddenly scared.
What if her siblings were right and that Theodore was simply messing around with her? Even at that, what if she messes up the relationship since this was her first time? Also, she wanted her boyfriend to be on good terms with her brothers. She didn’t care about Allen’s permission – he could go to hell with that- Neon was all that mattered to her – she would need his blessing in her relationship.
