Chapter 746 - Seven Hundred And Forty-six: How Long Have You Had Feelings For Me
The third point of view:
"Neon, seriously talk to me!" Ailee kept on bothering him even as he drove to school. His jaw ticked and his hand clenched around the steering wheel.
"One more talk and I'll seriously crash into the next car," He warned her as he wasn't able to take her disturbances anymore.
"Fine!" Ailee sat up with determination, "Crash into the next car and perhaps, we can continue our conversation in the afterlife," She was cool with his threat.
Unable to stand her hassling anymore, Neon had no choice but to pack at the roadside.
"Fine, what do you want to say? Talk turkey," He said with a firm voice that had a trace of agitation.
"You're trying to avoid me, what's the problem?" Ailee sensed it. Whenever they had a problem like this, they always sorted it out together, but today's own, he was different. He was dodging her as if he was guilty or something.
"Because I just found out that I don't deserve you," Neon said in his mind. All this while he had worked quite hard to show her how much she means to him, however, Neon never got to ask himself, does he even deserve her?
"Allen was right," he said to her, "I don't deserve to be with you guys. I'm a jinx and all I have brought to you guys so far is nothing but misery,"
Ailee frowned at him, "Why are you speaking like this?"
"Moreover, my mother wants me back. The best thing I can do is leave and keep you guys safe - my departure would solve everything," Neon was sure of it. The Spencers have done enough for him, the best thing he could do now was leave now before he does much damage.
"So that's why you kept it a secret," Ailee finally figured it out, "You were scared of leaving us,"
"But there's no point anymore, is there?" he chuckled mirthlessly,
"I'm leaving after all,"
"No, you're not leaving anyway," She told him.
"Why not?"
"Look, I know my father and he would surely figure a way out of this,"
"Ailee, You don't -"
"Neon!" She grabbed his face, cupping it with her palm, "Remember what Isabella told us about how she rescued you from your mother when you were young. She said you were all bruised and broken," Ailee reminded him, "Your mother needs treatment and until she gets better, you are not meeting her!" Her decision was final.
Ailee was panting by the time she finished speaking as if she had run a marathon. You didn't need blood to be family and the existence of Neon has proved that over and over again. She wouldn't mind going through the fire for him just the same thing she would do for her twin, Allen, and the rest of her family. They were all important to her and she loved them equally.
A smile appeared at the corner of her lips, having noticed her words got to him. Relieved and satisfied, she was about to withdraw her hands when he suddenly grabbed it and held it still on his face.
"What?!" She was surprised at his sudden clinginess.
"I love you," Neon confessed to her surprise and she thought that he meant that in a platonic way was just about to rely when he put his lips on her.
Time must have stopped at that moment because she couldn't feel anything. What was happening? Her eyes were as wide as saucers and she sat with her hands raised awkwardly in the air because the kiss had taken her by surprise. Neon didn't move, her heart pounding in her throat was the only reminder that time had not stopped, rather had been ticking all this while.
Neon broke away from the kiss without breaking eye contact with Ailee who was still quite shocked her mouth hung open.
"Siblings don't kiss...." was the word she had in her mouth when Neon took her lips in a kiss once again. This time more intense and fierce than the first kiss that took her by surprise she couldn't brace herself.
He kissed her long and hard, a gasp erupting from her throat and is drowned out in his mouth. Her head was spiraling with so many thoughts and emotions nor had she come to terms that Neon was kissing her.
Wait a minute, Neon was kissing her? It finally registered in Ailee's head and she tried to push him away but he was stronger and all she did was successfully clutched his shirt and pull him closer.
What the hell was she doing? She was supposed to push him away because this was all wrong. However, it felt good as well, especially when his hand dug into her hair, plastering her little body against his firm chest.
Ailee found herself wrapping her arms around his neck as his lips moved against his. She was dazed and that could be seen in the way she tightened her grip on the back of his skull, deepening the kiss. It was a long violent kiss.
It wasn't until she groaned into his mouth and desire breaks apart from between her thighs that she realized at once what she was doing. She stilled, going as rigid as a wall even while Neon kissed her until he too realized something changed - she wasn't into the kiss anymore.
Neon pulled back only to see shock and guilt mixed in those brown eyes. Before he could even say a word, she had opened the door and climbed down already.
"Ailee!" Neon got out as well and went after her, "Ailee!"
"No, don't touch me!" Ailee avoided him as if touching her would make them go back to kissing once again.
"Ailee, listen to me!"
"No, I can't! What we did there wasn't supposed to be. Neon, you're my brother for crying out loud!"
"I'm not your brother for fuck sake!" Neon retorted, "I've been trying to tell you that over and over again that I'm Jennifer's son and you're Spencer, Reina, and Niklaus' daughter. How are we even related?"
"Oh my God," it dawned on Ailee, "How long have you had feelings for me?"
