Chapter 705 - Seven Hundred And Five: A Man Had More Feelings

The third point of view:

"You know, you don\'t have to always follow me to my locker," Ailee said to Neon who walked her to her locker like he always does. His royalty was admirable and reminded her of Hachikō and that made her sad at the same time.

Hachikō was a Japanese dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following its master\'s death.

Hidesaburō Ueno was a professor who brought Hachikō to live as his pet. Ueno would commute daily to work, and Hachikō would leave the house to greet him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station.

The pair continued the daily routine until one day when Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while he was giving a lecture to his class, and died without ever returning to the train station in which Hachikō waited.

Each day, for the next nine years, nine months, and fifteen days, Hachikō awaited Ueno\'s return, appearing precisely when the train was due at the station until his death.

Ailee knew such a scenario would never play out between her and Neon. The attention Neon gave her was temporary and short-lived, soon he would have to go find his destiny while she does the same. But somehow, she wished he would never forget her - because she wasn\'t going to do the same.

"Hey, are you alright?" Neon asked upon noticing how distracted she was.

"Of course, I\'m good," Ailee was quick to cover up immediately.

However, almost immediately a notification came into Neon\'s cellphone and he glanced at it only for his expression to change.

"Are you okay?" It was Ailee\'s turn to ask.

"Yes, I\'m good," He smiled back at her, "I just need to make a call, I\'ll be back," Neon informed her and took his leave at once.

Well, what could be the problem??Ailee didn\'t think much about it and turned to her locker. She had just gotten the textbooks she needed when she heard a, "Hi" beside her.

"Hi," Ailee responded, barely glancing at whoever that was until it hit her and she whipped around with lightning speed.

"Y-you," Her mouth remained open with great shock such that a fly could get in with little effort.

Standing before her was no other than Theodore Donovan. Yeah, the real Theo, brother, and twin to her new best friend, Eve, and the guy she was currently crushing on. Yes! It was Theodore in flesh and present.?Oh my God! Ailee yapped inwardly.

Immediately, Ailee cleared her throat and said with a much sweater voice, "Hello there,"

"Hello," Theodore smiled at her, exposing the two dimples that formed at the corner of his cheeks.

Oh my God, Ailee was ready to faint. He was so handsome.

"We\'ve met before," He said.

"Of course, we did" she muttered under her breath, "You whispered into my ears,"

"Oh," Theodore heard that and he scratched the back of his head, "I guess I don\'t have to introduce myself anymore,"

"Yes," she agreed with him, "You don\'t have to introduce yourself anymore since I now know you. No, not that I know you that much as you think that it know you but it\'s just small details of yourself compared to the much I\'m supposed to know," Ailee blabbered on and when she realized what she was doing, added immediately," And this is the point where I shut up, right?"

But Theo nodded in understanding, saying, "You usually don\'t talk much anyway so it\'s kind of cute when you blabber,"

Aww, Ailee swooned inside. It was confirmed, this was her dream boyfriend.

However, it hit her and she asked him with a narrowed gaze, "How do you know I don\'t talk too much?" don\'t blame her but she had to know if she was dealing with a stalker - you might never know.

"I\'ve been watching and observing you for a while now," Theo answered honestly amid her sudden seriousness.

"Really?"Ailee said, crossing her arm across her chest, "So why have you been watching me?" she asked, staring him straight in the eyes.

Just because she was crushing on him doesn\'t mean she\'d let him into her life without a few tests. Moreover, he had to be worthy of her - yeah, her mother Reina was a good relationship expert.

"Because I\'m interested in you," He said and that made her heart skip a beat. She never thought he was a straightforward person.

"A-hem," Ailee cleared her throat and at the same time tried to regain her composure, "So why are you interested in me?"

"Do I need a reason to like someone?" he asked her, causing her heart to skip a beat the second time.

A blush crept up Ailee\'s face. God, why was she being this way?

"Well...." she didn\'t know what to say.

"Have dinner with him," he helped her out with a response.

"Huh?" Ailee felt everything was suddenly going too fast.

"I\'m not asking you to date me immediately but conversation over dinner would be a good way to get to know me more. Don\'t you think so?"

Ailee pulsed her lips, thinking over it. The truth is that she was enthusiastic to speak spend time with him but she had to be reserved. Her mother often told her that it was much better a man had more feelings for the woman he likes than a woman having more feelings for the man - Men often take such privilege for granted.

"Sure," She said and received one of his spellbinding smiles as usual. Ailee couldn\'t wait for the evening to come.

On the other hand, Neon went outside to answer that woman who hasn\'t stopped hassling him for the past few days.

Thanks to her constant texting him, he has become anxious and paranoid that he often deleted her messages as soon as he read them. With Ailee on his tail, he wouldn\'t leave any evidence he could use to set him up. But now, he couldn\'t take it anymore, so he called her for the first time.

"What do you want from me, Jennifer?"
