One Roof With Five Hot Jerks
Chapter Sixty-five

Maxine's Point of View

I'm here at the rooftop, yeah... alone. I can't eat with the five monkeys yet because of what happened yesterday. Huhu, I can't look at his (Louis) eyes. That was so embarrassing! What more, Alyn suddenly showed up and heard what I said. But, I don't think he knows what we were talking about.

Gosh, I went here to refresh my mind but it's not working. All I could think about was what happened yesterday, over and over again. Even I forced myself to think about different subject, the scene between Louis and I was keep on coming back. Can the ground just eat me? I don't know how to avoid Louis after that. Oh, damn it. I'm going crazy just by thinking about it.

I automatically turned around when the door of the rooftop opened, my eyes widened when the door spit out Louis.

I stood up, "What are y-you doing here?"

He smiled. Oh, damn. Stop smiling! "I was looking for you, and thank God you're here."

"I want to eat alone," I said.

He walked towards me, "Just don't mind me. You can ignore my presence and think that you're alone. If you want, I won't talk to you."

I pouted and did not answer anymore. I just sat back and ate. It's as if I can still do something, he's already here. We ate silently, we didn't talk to each other just like what I wanted but it was awkward. Arg, gosh. I can't take it anymore. I heaved a sigh and turned to him, "Where's your cousins?"

"Alyn was with Belle, and the three idiots? I don't know where they are," he answered.

"Why don't you know where they are?" I asked, before I took a bite to the bread.

He shrugged, "I just don't know. Hmm... what are you doing here, by the way? Don't you want to eat at the cafeteria?"

I chewed the bread before answering, "Uhm... I just wanted to eat here," I replied.

"Is that so?" He nodded and smiled, "Uh... about what happened yesterday-"

He hadn't finished what he was going to say when I immediately covered his mouth, "Don't say anything! Arg, seriously!"

He put my hand down and then he started laughing. Gosh, is he that happy? Am I that funny? I just rolled my eyes and turned my back from him. Ugh, my face feels hot. I tapped my cheeks and took a deep breath. Gosh, my heart is not calming down. What's wrong with my heart? Argh! Calm down, you little freak!

"Are you really sure that you like me?" He asked.

I turned to him while my face were covered by my hands, "What do you mean? Do I look like a liar?"

"No, it's not like that." He answered.

I removed my hands from my face, "Then, what?"

"Maybe it's just infatuation you're feeling for me," he replied.

I pouted, "So, you don't trust how I feel? Aish, you can just tell me if you don't like me, okay? I will accept it!"

He chuckled, "You're cute. I'm just saying that you have to be sure of what you feel before you confess, what if I hope for you, then I'm not the person who you really want?"

"Tsk," I rolled my eyes, "I'm sure, okay? Just tell me if you're going to reject me."

"Let's..." he put my hair behind my ear that was blown by the wind, and then looked me straight in the eye, "... make sure first before we move forward."

What... what does he meant?

I was about to speak when the door suddenly opened. Gosh, why is there always someone who keeps on interrupting us?

"Oh, Alyn is right, you two are here," said Sid.

Iglared at him and did not speak. Byron looked around before he walked towards us, "You haven't finished eating yet?"

I arched my left brow, "Isn't it obvious?" I rolled my eyes, "Why asking the obvious?"

He leaned to me, "Are you mad because we interrupted the flirtation of you two?" he muttered to my ear.

I pushed him, "Shut up."

He giggled and bumped my shoulder playfully, "Don't try to lie to me, Tardy. You're too obvious."

I pinched his shoulder, "Shut it, dimwit."

He didn't answer and just laughed. While Sid and Giles are having a conversation with Louis. I didn't mind them anymore and just eat. While Byron stayed beside me while playing at his phone. He seems okay now. He's smiling again, compared yesterday, he was always frowning.

[At home]

I laid down on my bed and took my phone from the side table. I opened my social media accounts and when I got bored I put my phone back to the side table. When I heard a knock from the door of my room, I immediately stood up and opened it. "What?" I asked.

He opened the door widely and walked inside of my room without answering me. I closed the door and turned around. I saw him lay down while hugging the pillow he was carrying. I walked towards him and forcefully pulled his feet. But, damn! He's not moving even an inch!

"Aish, what's your problem? You can't sleep here!" I exclaimed.

"I want to sleep here," he responded, while his eyes were closed.

"You can't," I said and pulled his feet again. Damn, so heavy!

"Who told you that?" He opened his eyes, "I have already slept here, so why are you acting like that? I just don't want to be alone."

I crossed my arms over my chest, "Call your girlfriend, then."

He sighed and sat down, "I'm not here to fight. I don't have the strength either, so just let me sleep here," and then he laid down again.

He doesn't have strength he said but he won't let me pull him? Goodness!

I just shook my head and laid down next to him. I turned my back from him and closed my eyes. When I felt his hand wrapped around my waist I immediately removed it then I faced him.

"There you are again, if you want to sleep, just sleep! Don't hug me!" I uttered.

He opened his eyes, "So, what did Louis say?"

My brows furrowed, "Huh?" What is he talking about?

"You confessed, right? So, what did he say?" He caressed my hair.

"Huh?" I immediately sat down, "H-How did you know?"

He clicked his tongue, "Tsk. You were so obvious yesterday."

"O-Oh," I averted my eyes.

"So? What did he say?" He asked again.

I laid down again while my eyes were looking at the ceiling, "He said that we have to be sure about my feelings before moving forward."

"Oh, yeah?"

I nodded and turned to him, "Do you think he has feelings for me, too?"

He shrugged, "Maybe?" He giggled, "What do you like about him?"

"Me?" I pointed myself. I looked at the ceiling again and smiled, "Uhm... he's handsome, kind, caring, good at sports," I giggled and turned to Alyn again. "That's what I like about him." "Oh," he smiled. "Right, he's good for you."

I giggled, "You think so, too? I hope he like me back."

He sat down and patted my head, "Yeah..." his smile faded. I was surprised when he when he got out of the bed, "I'm going back to my room."

I sat down, "Aren't you going to sleep here?"

He shook his head, "I think it will be good if I just sleep to my room."

"But... you said you don't want to be alone?" I uttered.

He chuckled, "Maybe, I'll just call Belle to come over just like what you said."

It was as if my tongue had been cut out and I could no longer answer. After a while, Alyn finally came out of my room. Sigh, why did I feel lonely when he left? And why did he suddenly change his mind? When he also mentioned Belle's name my chest felt heavy. Will they sleep together again?
