One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

The boys already left while I was lying down on my bed. I have a cold. Talking about unlucky, huh? I had never seen the looks of the men before they left. I still want to see how they look, including Belle. GH left because he was going somewhere but he didn’t know I was sick yet. I think if he knew I was sick he wouldn’t leave. gosh, so boring. I also want to have fun and dance there. About my partner Mylo, I already told him that I’m sick so I can’t go. He is famous at school so he will definitely find a replacement for me right away. I just hope he’s not mad at me.

I sighed and picked up my phone on the side of the bed. I opened my facebook and saw another post of my classmates. Angela is on facebook Live, they obviously enjoy it. Hmm… if I wasn’t unlucky, I would probably be among the people dancing there, too.

Kruu~

Gosh, my stomach is churning with hunger. I want to eat but I don’t have the strength to stand. Oh, don’t think that those five men left me even though they knew I was in this situation. I myself insisted that they go there because it was a waste they missed this chance. They really didn’t want to leave me alone earlier, they even said that they wouldn’t go if I couldn’t go either. But of course, except for Alyn. He didn’t even look at me.

Kruu~

Oh, dang. It looks like I have to endure my hunger until they come back.

Knock! Knock!

… Or not?

The door opened slowly and I was surprised when Alyn came in. He was carrying a bowl and a plastic one. He glanced at me for a moment before he walked over to the couch in front of my bed. He set the bowl down on the table and placed the plastic contents there. Oh… porridge? Is that for me? Then, he stood up and approached me. He sat on the side of my bed while holding the porridge.

“W-What are you doing here?” I asked.

Instead of answering my question, he rubbed my forehead to see if I was still hot. “How’s your feeling? Are you hungry?”

I stared at him for a moment before I nodded. Hmp, I don’t think he will tell me why is he here so I will just stay quiet. I won’t ask if I won’t receive an answer.

“Sit,” he said. “I will feed you.”

I followed what he said. I sat down and waited for the food he would give me. The two of us just kept quiet as he fed me. I want to ask, I want to ask a lot but if I can’t receive an answer then never mind.

Alyn heaved a sigh after a few minutes of our silence, “I’m here because I’m concern.”

I stared at him and did not answer. Is that his answer to my question earlier? Well, okay. I just nodded and avoided looking at him.

When he finished feeding me I thought he was leaving but he didn’t. He stayed in my room, he just stood up to lay the bowl on the table in front of the couch. He went back to my bed and took a small thing out of his pocket. He handed it to me and poured me water from the pitcher that lay on the side table of my bed. When I looked at that little thing, I just found out that it was a medicine. After he poured the water he handed me the glass.

“Take medicine so you can rest. Maybe GH won’t be able to go home later, he called me earlier,” Alyn uttered.

“Okay, thank you,” I said and took the glass from him so that I could take the medicine.

After I took the medicine I put the empty glass of water on the side table. I looked at alyn and waited for him to leave my room but he didn’t move. Does he need anything else? Will he not return to where the grand ball was held?

“Lie down and rest,” he commanded and guided me to lie down.

“Uhm… Aren’t you leaving yet?” I asked.

“Who will take care of you if I leave?” He sighed, “Just rest.”

“Don’t you need to go back to the ball?”

“Why do you ask so many questions, can you relax if you keep asking questions?” Oh, he look pissed.

“Is it wrong to ask? I just want to know,” I responded.

He closed his eyes and pinched his nose, meaning he’s suppressing his anger. Gosh, why is he so easily upset? I’m just asking. If he doesn’t want to answer my questions, then don’t!

I didn’t speak anymore and just turned my back on him. I covered myself with a blanket and closed my eyes. After a while I felt the sudden shaking of my bed so I suddenly sat down.

“What? Just rest,” Alyn muttered. He’s now sitting beside me.

“Why are you still here?” Oops, gosh, I said I wouldn’t ask any more questions.

“I’ll take care of you,” he simply replied.

“How about Belle? Who is with her? Won’t you miss her? She needs you there, aren’t you a partners?” I asked one question after another. Okay, I can’t control my curiosity anymore. I hope he answer, can he? It’s tedious to ask. Tch.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He caressed my hair, “Lie down first and I will answer your answer.”

And so, I did what he wanted me to do so that I could receive an answer from him.

“I’m lying down now, answer my questions,” I said.

“Hmm… how about Belle? She have a partner. She was old enough to take care of herself and I’m not her bodyguard. Who is with her? I don’t know, maybe her partner. Won’t I miss her? No. Are we partners? No.” He answered all of my questions.

I blinked three times before I could speak, “If you are not partners, who is her partner then? And didn’t you say that she is your partner?”

He looked at me, “I’m not her partner.”

“Wait,” my brows furrowed. “Did you got dumped?”

He scoffed, “Huh? What? I am not.”

“Then?” My left brow arched.

He sighed, “We’re just not partners.”

I pouted, “Okay. But won’t you be bored here?”

He shook his head, “Nope, as long as you’re here with me.”

I could not speak because of what he said. For no apparent reason my heartbeat suddenly quickened. And it looks like there are butterflies partying in my stomach. There was also some electricity flowing through my whole body. Fuck, what is this? Is it because of my cold?

“W-What do you mean?” I asked while my heart is beating so fast.

My eyes widened when his face slowly approaching my face. When his face was getting closer, I closed my eyes. After a few seconds, I felt his hand in my left cheek.

“Why are you closing your eyes? I just took the rice to the side of your lip,” he said, that made my face heated.

Gosh, so embarrassing!

“Hmp!” I slapped his chest and turned around. Arg! So embarrassing. Really, Maxine? What went through your mind, why did you closed your eyes? You look like you’re waiting for his kiss! Gosh, really!

“Oh?” I heard him chuckled, “Do you want a kiss from me? Do you think I will kiss you?”

I bit my lower lip, “A-As if! Who wants a kiss from a man with a girlfriend?”

“Hmm… Do I have a girlfriend?” It seemed like he was asking himself.

“Of course! Have you forgotten Belle is your girlfriend, isn’t she?” Tch. Do i really need to remind him? Does he have amnesia?

“Uh, right. I have a girlfriend.” He muttered, that made me got annoyed more.

“Arg! I hate you!” I turned to him and kicked him. While he was just laughing and just let me kick him.
