Chapter 730 - Seven Hundred And Thirty: We Aren't Related At All
The third point of view:
"Theo!"
The boy heard his name from amongst the crowd and his face lit up. Due to the photoshoot that featured some celebrities, it attracted quite a crowd who were being held back by the security team.
"I'm sorry but he's with me," Ailee quickly showed her staff identity card to the guard who then informed his other partner who let Theodore through.
She quickly apologized without even taking a break after her little run, "I'm sorry for having you wait this long, I didn't realize?I had my cellphone on silent mode when during class, and now...."
"Hey, it's alright. Just take a deep breath," He said, gesturing to her to take a long, deep breath. He sensed she ran all the here after finding out he has been calling.
"Thank you," She smiled at him in gratitude. He was really attentive. Hehe, he would make a good boyfriend.
Seriously Ailee, don't be faster than your shadow. He hasn't even passed the other tests you have for him. Yes, you have to be worthy enough to have her heart. She can't fail her brother's expectations - the reason why they were so protective of her was so she doesn't end up with a scumbag.
"You're welcome," He grinned at her before adding, "You look beautiful by the way,"
"Well, thank you," Ailee was pleased that he was observant. He keeps ticking off her checklist.
"And also..." Theodore suddenly stopped and reached behind her ear only to reappear with a rose flower in his hand.
"A beautiful rose for a beautiful woman," Theodore said unsure while handing that to her, "The truth is that I actually bought a bouquet, but then, nobody told me that I would be witnessing some crazy fans and to cut the story short, they murdered my flowers," He said with a serious face.
Ailee burst into laughter, the look on his face was hilarious. So he was attentive; knows how to compliment a woman; has a good sense of humor; he keeps growing boyfriend points.
"So this was the only life that I could save," He brought the rose to her face, "I hope you don't mind holding onto it," Theodore gestured theatrically.
"Of course, I'll treasure it," She accepted the flower, fixing it in her hair, "How do I look?"
"Beautiful as the morning sun," He flattered her.
"Such a sweet taller, come on, let's go. It's almost time for the photoshoot to start," Ailee grabbed him by the wrist only for Theodore to change their position, choosing to intertwine her fingers in his.
Ailee glanced down at the gesture and didn't say anything, instead, a blush crept up her face. She guessed this was the stuff people on a date do.
Walking hand in hand, the both of them arrived at Neon's umbrella stand and he was already back from his chat with Mackenzie.
"Where have you been, shooting is about to....." Neon trailed off as soon as his gaze rested on Ailee with Theodore. To make it worse, they were holding hands.
It was as if a sharp knife went through his heart when he saw them, however, he still put on a fake smile, "You're?here,"
"Yes," Theodore answered, shaking hands with him, "Thank you for having me here,"
"It's nothing," Neon said, then looked at Ailee questioningly, "Where are my clothes for the first shoot,"
"Oh," Ailee had to let go of Theo's hand and that oddly brought relief to Neon, "Here, it is,"
"Thank you," Neon took it from her and left the both of them without saying a word.
"He's strangely nice," Theodore said after he left and that drew Ailee's attention.
"He isn't nice to you? I've always known Neon as the pleasant one compared to Allen," she muttered.
"Well," Theodore pulsed his lips, "He's quite polite to me when he's not glaring at me. I wonder what I did wrong?" he chuckled as if it was funny.
"Probably because you're interested in me," Ailee answered for him, "You're the only guy who survived long enough to go on a date with me,"
"Oh, I see," Theodore was surprisingly consoled by the news. For someone as beautiful and popular as her, he had thought she would have had her share of men already.
For some reason, he was thankful her brothers were overprotective of her because they preserved her for him. And now, he would make sure he does everything possible to make her his.
Ailee and Theodore didn't say anything much afterward, they just observed the photoshoot that had begun just like the other staff members doing the same.
"He's good," Theodore said, watching as Neon posed with fellow male models by the beach while Micheal captured their moves.
"Yeah, Neon has always been a fast learner. But then, it would shock you to know that he wasn't always this smart, no, he was the dumbest of us all. That time, we used to play a lot of pranks on him - Allen especially. It was quite fun while it lasted. It felt surreal when he picked up so quickly on his learning. It was as if one day, he was dumb and the next, as if a spell was cast on him, he changed thoroughly, " Ailee sighed," I miss those days, "
Theodore didn't say anything, rather smiled in understanding. But then, he couldn't help but wonder if Ailee knew she had said more about Neon than him since they were on a date. Well, it must be because she was working and things would change when they go for dinner later.
The only reminder to Ailee that she was on a date with Theodore was him holding her hands. However, that intimacy was often cut short with her trying to help Neon change into his next outfit in a timely fashion.
"So, I'm trying to understand something here. How are you and Allen twins and Neon isn't? Was he born a year later or months after? How are both of your siblings? I'm a bit confused here,"
But Ailee answered, laughing, "We aren't related at all,"
"What?"
