Chapter 707 - Seven Hundred And Seven: Time To Make A Move (1/2)

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.
