Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 723 - Seven Hundred And Twenty-three: Why Would He Like That?

The third point of view:

"Do you really have to make up?" Neon loomed around Ailee as she dressed up.

"Why shouldn't I make up?" Ailee asked back, all of her attention on the mirror. She was sitting in front of her dresser and Neon was being unproductive by bothering her like an annoying fly.

"You're beautiful the way you are?" He said.

"Typical men, what do they know about beauty?" Ailee sighed, applying a bit of mascara to her eyelids.

They were back from school and refreshed quickly so they could reach the location before the sun went down since it was an outdoor shooting.

As soon as she was done, Ailee stared at her face in the mirror and was delighted with the result. She was just about to pull her hair into a ponytail when Neon stopped her.

"What?" she asked.

"Let your hair down, it's better that way," Neon said and didn't tell her that the main reason he wanted her neck hidden was the fact that it was slender and delicate and extremely enthralling. He just had this crazy thought of brushing his lips across that smooth skin and bit his teeth into it, tasting her. Would she whimper in pain or moan for him?

"Earth to Neon," Ailee snapped her fingers at his face, rousing him back to reality.

"Huh?" he was startled.

"Why should I let my hair down? It might be a date with Theodore but I'll be working at the same time and the hair might get in my way -"

"Do whatever you want!" Neon snapped at her to Ailee's greatest shock and went downstairs without even turning around.

"What the hell is wrong with him?" Ailee threw her hands up, dumbfounded. He was becoming strange day after day.

Meanwhile, unknown to Ailee, the reason why Neon left in such a hurry was because he was sporting a boner.

"God damn it," Neon groaned as soon as he made it into the living room and leaned over a couch, grabbing it by the arm as he tried to calm down.

"Don't think about her or her wicked smile and killer neck," He encouraged himself, sweat forming on his forehead while his Jaw was clenched, "Do not think of her at all. Just think happy thoughts.... or the negative ones," The idea hit Neon and all it took him was the thought of his mother for everything to calm down.

Neon took a deep breath with his eyes shut, that was a close one. But then, for how long was he going to lust after his sister?

Damn it! Neon had to remind himself for the hundredth time already that he and Allen were not related biologically, not even legally. However, for how long could he hide his feelings from her? When would she reciprocate his feelings? Does she even have one for him!

For how long would they play this cat and mouse game? Till she's taken by another man? Just like today's date with Theodore? Neon sighed, his problems just kept piling up. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Neon heard the sound of footsteps approaching and stood up at once. Not too long, his gaze fell on Ailee who obediently had her hair down. Thank God.

"Hey," He was the one to speak up first considering the fact he snapped at her earlier, "You look beautiful,"

Ailee didn't reply and simply gave him the cold shoulder. However, before she could walk past him, Neon reached out and yanked her towards him. They were almost in an embracing position but Neon was smart enough to put some distance between them.

"I'm sorry, princess. I didn't mean to snap at you. It just happened and I'm truly sorry for that," He apologized yet there was no response from Ailee.

Neon was just about to think of another tactic when Ailee suddenly lifted her phone and played the record of him apologizing to her with a smirk.

"I'll keep this for future sake," Ailee grinned at him.

"You know you don't have to do that, I would always apologize to you for my wrongs any day, anywhere, and anytime," He told her.

"Sure, I know that," Ailee answered, "But then people change just like my brother, Allen. So I'll just keep it for future purposes when you're no longer the same,"

"For you alone, I'll be the same. You don't know how much you mean to me," Neon said, catching her strand in his hand and taking his sweet time pulling it to the back of her ear.

Ailee didn't say anything, she just listened to his words and watched his actions. However, her gaze somehow rested on his lips and she gulped. What the hell was wrong with her? Thankfully, his words brought her back to reality.

"So you don't have to be scared of losing me, Ailee. I'm always here for you and would always be," He said, holding her gaze as they stared into each other's eyes.

Neon's eyes were really beautiful, they were blue with specks of gold around the pupil. She could really stare into his eyes all day without getting tired. However, when Ailee became aware of the intensity of?Neon's gaze, her heart skipped a beat.

She unconsciously held her breath when she saw the look in his eyes - It was full of longing and consuming. Longing for who? For what? Neon was confusing her. Unfortunately, that was all the reminder she needed to break their contact.

"We should go," Ailee patted him on the back.

"Yes, we should," Neon agreed as well and they headed over to their SUV. Honestly, Ailee had her own car but this was the first car their parents gifted them to go to school with to promote the spirit of togetherness between them since they quibbled like cat and mouse with Allen and vice versa.

Well, the method only worked because Neon only ended up being the chauffeur driving them to school almost every day. It was just a few occasions that Allen decided to help out and he had a purpose for doing so and it was always beneficial for that purpose.

"You know I should be the one driving considering I'm your manager and assistant else people would begin to suspect we are more than what we claim to be," There was already that crazy model thinking they were dating. What a ridiculous thought.

"Let them think what they want," Neon muttered, bringing the car to life, "I would like that anyway," He muttered under his breath without knowing she heard him.

Ailee's brows furrowed, why would he like that?
