One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

“Maxine, Alyn follow me,” said GH after we ate.

The four men just looked at me and Alyn when GH said to follow him. Of course, I know what that four were thinking. They thought we did something bad but I am positive that I did not do anything! Gosh, what could be the reason that GH want to talk to us? It isn’t about the way I look at Alyn, right? Ugh, I will restraint myself from looking at him from now on.

We followed GH until our foot brought us to the garden. Gosh, what are we going to talk about that we need to go this far?

“I heard that you are always fighting,” GH started.

I looked at Alyn who remained silent before I looked back to GH, “T-That’s not true, GH.”

His eyes narrowed, “Are you lying to me, Maxine?”

I shook my head, “N-No! Yeah, we always fought before but not now.”

“Do you have something to say, Alyn?” GH turned to Alyn, “Is what she saying true?”

Alyn nodded, “Yes, GH.”

“That’s good,” GH nodded that seemed to like the answer of Alyn, “But we still need to strengthen your friendship.”

“Huh?” My brows furrowed, “What do you mean?”

“Pack up your things now.” GH commanded before he turned around to walk away, but before he could get away I spoke.

“Why? Where are we going?” I asked but he did not answer and just continued walking. Sigh, where are we going?

“Hey,” before Alyn could touch me, I slapped his hand.

“Don’t touch me,” I said and turned my back.

I said I wouldn’t look at him starting today but why do I need to pack up my things and Alyn? Are we leaving with Alyn? What is it, punishment? But I don’t want to be with him! I hope Louis and the others would come along so I won’t be left alone with Alyn.

I walked to my room upstairs and pack up my clothes. Sigh, I’m still curious where we going. After I packed my things up, I went downstairs and sat at the living room. After a few moments, Louis appeared. He was obviously had just finished taking a bath.

When he saw me, he smiled and walked towards me, “What is this bag?” He asked while pointing at the bag on the carpet.

“Ah… GH said to pack up our things,” I answered.

“Hmm? With whom?” He asked then sat beside me.

“Uhm,” I looked down, “With Alyn.”

He stared at me for a moment before I felt his embrace, “I hope I could come but I know GH wouldn’t allow it.”

I looked at him, “Why? Aren’t you coming with us?”

He shook his head, “No. I think GH has a plan.”

“What plan?” I left his embrace.

He shrugged, “I’m not sure. I just know that he has a reason to do this kind of thing.” He chuckled, “It will be okay so don’t worry.”

“Wow,” someone clapped so Louis and I turned to him, “Are you two dating?”

“H-Huh?” I looked at Louis and looked back at Sid. Gosh, what is this guy talking about?

“You two are always being lovey-dovey whoever sees you will think you are dating,” he said.

Me? M-Me dating Louis? Gosh, come on! It will never happen.

“You’re so confusing, Tardy,” Byron suddenly appeared.

“Huh?” My brows furrowed.

He shook his head continously while clicking his tongue. He sat beside me and Sid sat beside Louis.

“When did you two started dating?” Sid asked.

“We’re not dating,” I answered.

“I’m asking Louis and not you, Missy,” Sid uttered.

The heck is wrong with these guys?

“Wendy’s right, we’re not dating so stop asking us about that,” said Louis.

GH walked down the stairs, “Where’s Alyn?” He asked when he noticed me.

I stood up, “I don’t know.” I answered and looked around to look for Alyn.

“Sid, call Alyn now,” GH commanded.

Sid scratched his head before he went upstairs.

GH approached us and looked at Louis, “Help Maxine to carry her things.”

“Where is she going? Are you throwing her away?” Louis asked.

With Alyn? No way!

“Of course not,” said GH and led the way to the van.

I went inside the van and GH sat at the shotgun seat while we were waiting for Alyn. After a few minutes, Alyn appeared with his luggage. After he put his luggage at the back, he got into the van next to me. GH turned to us before he gestured the driver to start the engine.

During the trip I fell asleep, it was late at night when I woke up and I just found myself lying on the sand. It’s so dark! When I looked up I saw a thousand stars in the sky. My brows furrowed when I heard a waves of water. When I looked at my feet I saw the sea. Where the heck am I?

I turned to my left and saw Alyn burning a wood. There’s a bonfire.

“W-Where are we?” I stood up and approached him.

“Island,” he answered and put a wood onto the fire.

“Why? Let’s go home~” I clung to his arm and pulled it softly.

“We can’t until GH come to pick us up,” he said.

I pouted and I took my hand away from him, “What should we do now? When is he going to pick us up?”

He sighed, “Just calm down, okay? You won’t die here.”

“I’m not afraid to die, I just want to go home!” I said.

He turned to me, “If you’re really not afraid to die then go at the forest and look for a wild animal.”

“W-Why?” I moved away from him slowly.

“Tsk,” that was only his answer and turned to the bonfire again.

I just pouted and crossed my arms over my chest. Ugh, I’m really alone with Alyn. What should I do?Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I bowed my head and closed my eyes. My heart was about to explode when he looked at me earlier. Arg, damn it!

“Are you not feeling well?” He asked. When I felt his hand to my shoulder I immediately stood up.

“No,” I replied.

He scoffed, “Do I have a virus that every time I touch you you go away?”

I looked away, “I-It’s not like that.”

“Ah… you want to be faithful to Louis, is that it?” He asked.

What the hell is he thinking? I can’t even be loyal to Louis because I’m confuse to my feelings then faithful? Geez.

I did not answer because I couldn’t tell him the truth.

“I get it, I’ll distance myself to you so you don’t have to be uncomfortable,” he said.

After hearing the word ‘distance’ my heart aches. I just went back to my position where I woke up earlier and just stared at the sky.

Growl~

Arg, I’m hungry. I touched my tummy and pouted. I don’t have food to eat, I hope GH will come tomorrow.

“Here’s your food,” I heard Alyn.

I turned to him. I saw him put down a basket in a distance. He really planning to distant himself, huh? Sigh, I hate it when I’m near him but I hate it either when he’s away from me. What… the heck do I really want from him?

I stood up and picked the basket. I went back to my position and opened the basket. I smiled when I saw that it was full of fruits. Did Alyn picked all of these while I was asleep?

I turned to him to see if he has food. I think the fish on the stick he put on the fire is what he will eat. Doesn’t he like fruits?

I just shrugged and ate.
