“D-dirty thoughts?” Ailee almost spat out blood. Wasn’t he the one who had looked at her like she was the best thing he had ever seen? Perhaps, her eyes might have deceived her.
“I know I’m handsome, but keep your paws sheathed,” He continued to say getting to his feet.
Ailee was aggrieved, she was being accused unfairly here. She never had any immoral thoughts about him. Well, maybe, for a second? But that was only because he looked at her that way, she almost thought he wanted to kiss her.
God, what was she thinking? Why would Neon kiss her? He’s her brother and siblings don’t kiss each other, right?
“I was not thinking about you?!” Ailee continued to say and didn’t even know why she was explaining herself to him.
“Hmm,” Neon gave her a look of unbelief.
“I’m serious,”
“If you weren’t thinking about me, who were you thinking about then?” Neon asked her, delighted to see her flustered. She was flustered because of him, it was a good sign, right?
“It was Theo!”
“What?” he was startled.
“I was thinking of Theo,” Ailee blurted out and she didn’t even know why. But then it was better than getting misunderstood having feelings for your brother.
She couldn’t even imagine such a possibility happening, what would her parents think of it? Not to talk of Allen? Not that Allen’s opinion mattered in her relationship – he wasn’t exactly a role model or a saint, relationship-wise. So he wasn’t qualified to judge her.?Again, such a thing wouldn’t happen. She didn’t have feelings for Neon, they were siblings – a strong relationship forged from childhood.
At the mention of Theo, Neon’s expression changed at once. He wanted to be angry like before but he realized it wasn’t worth it. His being mad at Ailee wouldn’t stop her from dating whoever she liked, he just had to be smart this time.
Going at his affection for Ailee wouldn’t work out as he would only scare her away. He was done dropping hints as well, it seems he would have to seduce her day by day. As he said, he wasn’t a gentleman.
“You have a lot of guts, you know,” He said, hiding the annoyance in his gaze, “Talking about another male in front of your brother,” Neon decided to play her game.
Ailee rolled her eyes, “What are you going to do? Beat him up? I’m warning you, don’t touch him because he’d be my first boyfriend and not even Allen would be able to stop me,”
He sneered openly, “Let’s hope your planned future boyfriend,” There was huge sarcastic in his voice, “has a good stamina for receiving punches then,”
Ailee was vexed, she glared at him while squaring her shoulders and standing at full height such that her gaze met Neon’s even though he was a head taller than her, “Why are the both of you doing this to me?”
“Because,” He said and grabbed her waist, pushing her up against her body suddenly that Ailee gasped from the unexpected onslaught, “You’re important to me,”
He added immediately when he realized how ambiguous his words were, “You’re important to us – all of us. And we’d do our best as your brothers to keep you safe from those ravenous wolves,”
Ailee’s throat suddenly felt dried, this was the second time Neon was misleading her and she’d be a fool to fall into his trap once again. But then, Ailee couldn’t help but gulp as she felt his lean body. Her mother wasn’t kidding, Neon had a healthy body. How hadn’t she noticed it before?
Gosh, what in the fuck are you thinking? Ailee got her head back in the game instantly. So she took a step back and thankfully Neon didn’t stop her.
She said to him, “It’s almost late, we should go get the kids from school,” and vanished before he could pull another trick on her.
“Adorable,” Neon muttered and followed after her.
In the car, Ailee chose to stay in the backseat as she couldn’t understand Neon today, he was being “weird” and wanted to be on the safe side.
Moreover, the triplets loved being with Neon and would chase her off the front seat if she stayed there. In one word, she was saving herself the trouble.
Neon’s eyes dimmed when he saw the place she chose to stay. He didn’t even push much and she was avoiding him already. Unfortunately, he had all the time in the world to make Ailee his.
Theodore or whatever he called himself didn’t know her as much as he did. He knew Ailee and every single detail about her and that was his advantage. Ailee could try and run, but at the end of the day, he would always be the one she would run back to.
He was her safe haven.
The third point of view:
Anabelle woke up with a fulfilled smile, she then reached out to the other side of the bed, expecting to feel someone. Sadly, her hand came up empty. Her brows creased and she opened them only to discover that Julie’s side of the bed was empty. Her heart lurched at once, where had he gone?
She at once grabbed his oversized shirt by the side of the bed and put it on so she could go in search of him. However, before she could grab the doorknob, the door was opened, and there stood Alex, his assistant.
“Good morning miss, Anabelle, you’re awake,” He smiled at her.
“Stop calling me, Miss, Alex, it’s embarrassing,” Anabelle wanted to cringe. She then looked around and Alex answered her question as if he was on her mind.
“Boss left moments ago,”
Anabelle’s jaw almost dropped, “He left without telling me?”
“I believe he didn’t want to bother your beauty sleep,”
“Beauty sleep, my butt. I came all here for him and he leaves me standing!” Anabelle was angry and picked her phone to call him so she could give him a piece of her mind. How could he do this to her?
“I believe your call won’t be able to connect. Boss is not exactly in a pleasant place,”
Anabelle’s heart dropped when she heard that statement. He has gone for his usual business trips that always had her heart racing.
What if something happens to him? Anabelle has been thinking that way over the past five years after his grandfather George died and the family business was handed down to him.
A family of mobsters. It was funny how Anabelle was raised and surrounded by them yet she was still appalled by the violence. She didn’t like it at all. But then if aunt Cecil could do it, she could as well – Anabelle kept telling herself.
“Then what are you still doing here?” Anabelle asked him, “Shouldn’t you be there protecting him?”
“Boss has many of his men to protect him and he specifically told me to send you home safely,”
Anabelle rolled her eyes, Of course, protect her. Why does everybody think she was still that little girl who needed protection. Yes, she wasn’t as strong as Isabella but she was better than before. Unfortunately, people were still stuck with that weak image of her.
Anabelle sighed.
