“You!” Eve was one step away from punching him. Well, she could punch him, however, Allen was crazy. Who knows what he would do in return?
“And her your brother to help as well and I won’t bother to use a screenshot of the clip as a screen saver,” He threatened her.
Eve knew what that meant if Allen used their kissing scene as a wallpaper. Not only would the whole school gossip about her and count her in among the rest of the girls used by Allen when they see the photo, but Allen’s admirers would also make school hell for her. Those girls are crazy and would do anything for him.
“Make your choice, neighbor,” He boomed a smile at her.
“You said you weren’t stalking me yet here you are!” Eve was sure she would develop a heart attack if she stays around this villain for long.
Allen pulsed his lips, “I don’t remember saying such thing to you nor do I have free time on my hands enough to stalk you,” He added with a smile, “And you were the one who told me,”
Damn, he was right. She indeed told him at the beginning.
So when the devil called Allen moved the box, Eve went over and convince her brother to come and help. It was not hard to do so anyway since he was less busy and needed a distraction from his premature heartbreak.
“It looks like you’re moving in?” Theodore asked Allen while working.
“Isn’t that obvious?” Allen asked back.
“Exactly why? Don’t you live with the others at the Sparkss mansion?” He was curious.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Eve sneered, “He’s a delinquent and must have caused trouble so they sent him away,”
“Quite a clever answer, my answer. Unfortunately, I wasn’t chased off, this is more of a self-discovery journey. My father wants me to be a man and to do that, I must thread alone,”
Eve snorted, “More like you were exiled,”
Allen turned to Theodore, “Remind me again how you were able to coexist with her in the womb for nine months?”
“The same way I’m surprised Ailee didn’t throttle you in the womb,”
“Sorry, but we spent six months so she didn’t really get the opportunity,” Allen smirked at her however the mood changed.
“The both of you were born prematurely?” The Donovan twins asked at the same time.
“Yep and don’t tell me you’re going soft on me because of that. I kind of love our quibbles, it’s sexy,” Those words of his were directed at Eve who rolled her eyes.
Just like that, all three of them threw away their differences and worked together, and before long, was done with moving in.
“And we’re done,” Eve was more eager to leave this place than her brother that had cozy with Allen to her displease.
“Sit down, I’ll cook a meal and thank you both for helping me move in,” Allen insisted amid their refusal, already on his feet towards the refrigerator that he knew would be stocked since his father promised food.
“You can cook?” Eve was surprised.
“Why?” Allen asked, peering at her over the handle, “You don’t think I can do it?”
“You don’t hit me as domestic,”
“And you’re right,” Allen closer the fridge with a full grin, “I don’t know how to cook but I will learn how to do so right now,”
Oh God, may they not die of food poisoning, Eve prayed internally.
“Also,” Allen said before leaving for the kitchen, “Would you mind being my date to a rehearsal dinner tomorrow?”
The third point of view:
There were a lot of activities going on in Kay’s manor. Yes, Isabella had planned to hold her rehearsal dinner there in memory of her biological mother. It sounded pretty stupid but her mother needed to see that her daughter was doing well.
As expected, Reina was trying to keep the triplets on their best behavior while Niles was going over the security layout with Emerald. Occasions like this were an opportunity for their enemy to strike and they had to limit the chances of that occurring.
The rehearsal was not as strict as the wedding party and judging from the fact Isabella was a private person, she opted for immediate family members to be in attendance only. Sadly, Sparkss were a large family, hence extended families came among and with them their friends as well. So what was supposed to be a simple dinner escalated into a massive celebration.
They considered an outdoor barbecue in the large garden.?The cherry trees were in bloom hence they provided a sweet, warm, and cozy ambiance for the guests.
Since the wedding was set on Sunday, the dinner was hosted on its eve. Isabella and Pedro didn’t have an actual rehearsal so they opted to still celebrate with dinner instead. They didn’t want the guest to have too late of an evening considering the main event is yet to come.
“Ailee! Neon! Please help me keep an eye on the kids,” Reina said, hardly getting a grip on Elsa who tried to escape, “I need to help Camille welcome in the guests,”
“Sure,” Ailee said, taking Diego and Ella by the hand because Elsa successfully wriggled out of her mother’s hold.
However, the girl didn’t get to go far because Neon caught her from behind, “They’re safe with us,” He gave her a strained smile.
Since that episode resulted in Allen moving out, he couldn’t figure out Reina’s intentions towards him. Was she still mad at him? Does she blame him for what happened with Allen? She must hate seeing his face because he reminds her of his mother, Jennifer.
“Did the both of you fight?” Reina asked, noticing the tension between both kids.
“It’s nothing!” Both of them said in a chorus earning a raised brow from her.
“Fine, you can choose not to say a word. Both of you are adults and can figure out your problems. But I’m always here just so you know,” Reina informed them in case they needed her counsel.
“So that means you’re on talking terms with me once again?” Neon asked, unsure.
“Who said I wasn’t on speaking terms with you, Neon?” Reina took a deep breath, “The case with your mother is pretty complicated, however, I’m more concerned about you who is caught in between. I might be angry sometimes, Neon but I would never be angry with you. You’re my son, my family,”
At that statement, Ailee and Neon’s gaze connected unconsciously and she gave him a look that said, ‘Now what do you say to that?’
Neon didn’t say anything rather gave her an understanding smile.
Reina breathed in deep relief, then clapped her hands as if remembering something, “Now, where is my wonderful rebellious son, Allen? Wasn’t he supposed to arrive here with us?”
