Chapter 712 - Seven Hundred And Twelve: Date Neon (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Hey,” Eve felt someone tap her on the shoulder and turned around only to stare into a face that knocked the breath out of her. The golden yellow eyes on that handsome face reminded her of the fantastical wolves described in books. It was enthralling.

However, when she saw who those eyes belonged to, her face fell at once. Eve Donovan glared at Allen Spencer who still had that charming smile on his face.

Allen knew his look was damaging to the female species and used his charm to attract as many as he could into his bed. His blessed face had also saved him many times out of punishment and that was why he used that weapon on Eve and just as he expected, she was charmed. Unfortunately, his charm didn't last for long.

Eve glared at him and then banged her locker shut, intending to leave when Allen sneaked around her and blocked the path.

”What is your problem?!” She didn't bother to hide her displeasure. Eve hated the sight of Allen, how could such an animal even exist?

”I want to speak to you, but before then have this,” He said and stretched the flower to her. Allen braced himself because he had an inkling she would hit with the flowers but to his surprise, she took it from him without hesitation.

”Aww, the roses are so good,” She swooned, taking a whiff of the flower that smelled good.

Allen was stunned, that was not the reaction he expected from her, nonetheless, it's good. It seems Eve was already into him and had only been playing hard to get. Anyway, it made everything easy for him.

”I want to apologize,” Allen began, rubbing his palm together, ”I knew I was a jerk -”

”A big jerk,” she interjected, causing him to grimace. Was he sure he was into him? No lady taken by him would retort in that manner. Well, she had an attitude from the very start, anyway.

”Yeah, I was a big Jerk,” Allen admitted, ”But then, I've realized how wrong I am and the fact that I'm a sore winner as you said,” He acknowledged that as well to her surprise.

He went on, ”And for that, I'm truly sorry. I know that you may need time to be able to forgive me -”

”I've forgiven you,” Eve said so quickly that he was stunned.

She forgave him just like that, confusion filled Damon. Allen was expecting her to get back at him by giving him a hard time. But then, she has forgiven him? It sounded too easy to be real.

”Really?” Allen's gaze narrowed at her suspiciously, ”You don't bear grudges against me anymore?”

”Do I need to say it twice or were you born with insecurity issues? Is that why you are the way you are?” She asked while staring him straight in the eyes.

Allen felt uncomfortable with the way she scrutinized him, so he tore his gaze away and put on his normal playboy smile,” Of course not, why would I have insecurity issues when I have the perfect perfect family and life?” he smirked.

Allen leaned closer, ”So to apologize for my bad behavior, would you mind having dinner with me this evening?”

Unfortunately, it was at that moment when they were intimately close to each other that Ailee came to find her new best friend only to see her in such a compromising position with her brother.

Tears stung her eyes at once and her heart felt as if it was breaking into a thousand fragments. Ailee didn't want to watch them lock lips, but she had misunderstood Eve previously and the both of them being intimate with each other was proof that she had been fooled once more. As much as it would break her heart, she had to see it.

”Dinner?” Eve was interested in the sudden request and she didn't even bother to create some space between them. If Allen wanted to play, she was game.

”Yes,” Allen was excited by the glint in her eyes, ”It's my way of thanking you,” His voice dropped to a whisper as he leaned more closer such that their noses were touching and would be a kiss if he tilted his head. Allen smirked, he never knew Eve was such a tease.

”And then what happens after dinner, Mr. player?” Eve asked all of a sudden, shattering the connection that rippled between them seconds ago.

”What?” Allen suffered a mental whiplash from the sudden change in her attitude. Her tone that had once been playful and seductive was suddenly cold and sharp.

”I guess after dinner, you have great plans of getting into my pants, isn't that so, Allen Spencer?” She smirked, having seen through his plan.

”Putting it that way is quite crude, lovemaking is heaven's gift to mankind,” He defended himself.

”Yes, of course, it is. But then, it is called love-making, sadly, all that matters to you is sex,” she corrected him.
