Chapter Eighty-two
Maxine’s Point of View
I sat on the bench and surveyed the wide soccer field. I crossed my two arms. I sighed when I remembered what happened last night. Really? He was as hard as rock but he still rejected me. I hope he can’t get pregnant a woman in the future. Opss, wait, if he can’t get pregnant a woman, we won’t have a child in the future. Aish, erase! Erase! Why do I remember that again? Tch. Next time when he asks for a kiss from me I will also reject him. Who does he think he is? Hmp! I can also refuse. He’s handsome but I can refuse him.
Oh, you might think I was cutting classes. No, no, no. My class is vacant so I’m here on the soccer field now. I immediately remembered the time I used to watch Alyn and Troy play here. Talking about Troy, how is he? Now that I remember him, I notice that we haven’t seen each other much these past few days.
Does he know that Alyn is my boyfriend? I almost forgot, all he knew was that Alyn and his cousins were my bosses. How would Troy react when he found out that Alyn is now my boyfriend? Will he be surprised, pleased or will he not give his comment? Hmm… I’m curious.
“Maxine!”
I turned to where the voice was coming from. My forehead furrowed when I couldn’t recognize the man running, who I thought was coming towards me. Suddenly my face brightened when I saw who that man was. Gosh, I just noticed that our paths often meet here on the soccer field.. Is he always here?
I waved at him and smiled. As soon as he got close, he stopped running and just walked. He was sweating maybe because he was running. But even so, his handsome face was still not covered. Yep, Troy is handsome but my boyfriend is still more handsome.
He sat down next to me and wiped his sweat, “How are you?” He asked.
“I’m fine, you?” I smiled.
“Same as you,” he looked at me. “By the way, I heard something about you. Is it true that your boyfriend is Alyn? Alyn Crawford?”
I giggled, “Yep!”
“Oh, yeah?” He turned to the field, “How is your relationship?”
“Hmm… we’re doing good,” I answered.
“Isn’t he your boss? Or is that just a lie?” He asked and looked at me again.
Nothing will be lost if I tell him the truth, will it? Troy was kind and I knew I could trust him. Aside from Angela, he was my only friend here at school. Well, I haven’t considered Angela my friend again and I haven’t accepted Ferries yet. I don’t know if they’re just planning to do something to me again, right? Even though I don’t see Ferries’ interest in the fight right now, it’s still hard to trust her because we’ve once been enemies. I just don’t want to regret it later.
“Uhm, the truth is…” I bowed my head and played with my fingers, “… they took me in and welcomed me into their Mansion.”
“Huh? What?” He looked surprised. “How? Why? They won’t let you live there for no reason, will they?”
“Uhm, I ran away when I found out I was adopted. It was raining and when I passed out on a bench Alyn and his cousins’ grandfather saw me. After that he took me to their Mansion. They dressed, fed, educated and took care of me,” I smiled. “I am very indebted to them, especially to their grandfather. Even on my first day with them I could not get along with those monkeys, especially Alyn. Even though I often quarrel with them, we still managed to get along. We’re all okay now, we’re getting along. ”
“Wow. Did you find out who your real parents are? Because you left when you found out that you were adopted and then Alyn’s grandfather helped you. Aren’t they helping you find your biological parents?” He asked.
“Hmm, the other day I just found out that GH was looking for my parents,” I replied. “I didn’t say and I didn’t ask him for help to find my biological parents but he still did. Then he even said that I can stay at the Mansion even if we find my parents.”
He smiled, “They’re kind. I can’t believe it. You know, they’re only known here as idiots and the kings of every woman. I don’t think a stranger will settle in their Mansion. They’re rich but they were able to trust you even if they didn’t know your family background. ”
“Right?” My smile widened even more. “I’m so happy and I’m thankful that GH saw me that day. Because I don’t know what would have happened to me if he hadn’t seen me. If it was someone else I might be dead now,” I laughed at the thought.
“You’re right,” Troy laughed as well. “Anyways, I hope that your relationship with Alyn will remain strong.”
“Thanks!” I smiled. “You? Don’t you have a girlfriend?”
He nodded, “None.”
“What the heck? You’re handsome, kind, athletic, know how to cook, charming and sweet. How come you still don’t have a girlfriend?” I poked his side, “Are you waiting for someone?”
He chuckled, “No. Hmm, I like someone but she already has a boyfriend, so maybe I’ll just move on.”
“Huh? Really? Who? Do I know?” I asked a series of questions.
He shrugged, “Maybe?”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Hey~ Come on, tell me her name,” I said.
Troy was about to speak when suddenly someone threw a can of soft drinks at me. What the?
I turned to see where it came from. I frowned when I saw Ferries and Angela. Ferries’ arms were crossed as they walked closer.
“The heck are you doing here?” She asked when they could finally get closer.
“Who is he?” Angela asked, pointing at Troy.
Troy stood up and held out his palm, “I’m Troy Francisco.”
Angela smiled, “Angela Garcia,” she said and held out Troy’s hand.
“I’m Ferries, no need to shake hands,” she rolled her eyes. “Back to you, Maxine. What are you doing here? And are you really with another man?”
“Huh?” I glanced at Troy and glanced back to Ferries again, “What’s wrong with that? Troy is my friend and Alyn knows him.”
“Really?” She raised an eyebrow. I just nodded and didn’t answer. She sat next to me and crossed her legs, “If other people see you here, they may think otherwise. It’s a good thing we are the first ones to see you here.”
“What are you doing here?” I asked, “Is it your vacant class too, Ferries?”
She nodded, “Yep. I went to your classroom and Angela said you come out. So, we both looked for you. We also went to the rooftop but you weren’t there, we didn’t know you were just here.”
“Are you here often?” Angela asked.
“Hmm, I’ve noticed that I come here every vacant time when I’m thinking of something,” I replied.
“What are you thinking?” Troy asked.
“Uh…” Damn. I shouldn’t have said that! What am I going to say now? Gosh.
“It’s alright if you don’t want to share it,” Troy smiled. “I’m not forcing you. I was just asking.”
“Wow, such a nice guy,” Ferries commented. She leaned and looked at Troy, “Are you single? Do you want to date?”
What?! She just refused to shake hands and now she’s going to ask Troy like that? What the heck? Is she bored?
