One Roof With Five Hot Jerks
Chapter Seventy

Maxine's Point of View

I woke up with a heavy thing in my waist. I was not surprise because I was aware that we slept together, what made me surprised was that I was hugging him. Our face was too closed with each other. I could even felt his breath from his nose. I'm still hugging him right now. It's not like I wanted it, I just couldn't take my hands because he was holding it while his left hand was placed in my waist. And my head was resting on his chest. Gosh, we looked like a couple.

I lifted my chin and stared at his face. I'm curious with one thing, I got thrilled whenever I was with Louis, yes. But how can my whole system react whenever I'm with Alyn? Not only that, even a simple word came out of Alyn's mouth my system reacted immediately just like what happened last night. This is so confusing. I like Louis but what is this that am I feeling for Alyn?

Hmm... Wait, don't tell me-no, no, no! I immediately shook my head as if I was disagreeing to my another self. What am I thinking? That's absolutely impossible. Me? Liking Alyn? Gosh, no way! No-

"How long do you plan to stare at my face?" He uttered while slowly opening his eyes.

I immediately pushed him away, "Y-You... You're awake."

Damn it, here's my heart again. Now even touching him makes my heart beat faster? No, no, no. It's just because he caught me staring at him. Wait, if he was awake earlier why didn't he even open his eyes? And now that it crossed my mind, why was he hugging me? Isn't he afraid to catch my cold? What if my cold transferred to him? Gosh, this man. Ah, no. That is not a real problem here, what if Belle caught us in that position? She might think I was stealing his man. Argh, really what a mess?

"How are you feeling?" He asked while rubbing his eyes.

I averted my gaze, "I'm fine now. You can go back to your room, thank you for taking care of me."

"Yeah, sure." He replied and then got off my bed. "Fix yourself and come down after," he said then finally left the room.

Okay, why am I feeling lonely now that he was gone? Goodness, never mind. I don't want to think about anything else anymore, it will just give me a headache. Sigh, I better got up and fix myself.

I went to the dining room downstairs and I found them complete there: GH, Louis, Byron, Giles, Sid, Alyn and of course Belle. I walked towards them and sat at the vacant seat.

"How's your feeling, Maxine? I got an information that you didn't attend the Ball," GH asked.

How did he know? These guys said that they won't tell GH because he might panic. So, how? Gosh, I want to ask but I shouldn't. He may scold me later if I did.

"Uhm, I'm doing fine," I answered.

"My idiotic grandsons did not even took care of you last night? What if something happen?" His voice raised, he looked mad.

"G-GH, it wasn't their fault. I was the one who told them to attend the Ball and don't mind me," I replied. I wasn't lying, that's the truth.

"And they really did it? What a scumbags! I won't claim anyone my grandson with that kind of behavior!" His brows were furrowed when he took a bite of the steak.

"Don't blame them, GH. They just want to have fun, and I don't want to be a burden to them," I responded. Gosh, how can I cool GH's head, it's only morning but he's already in a bad mood.

GH put down the utensils and looked at me, "They left a sick girl alone just because they want to have fun and enjoy that goddamn Ball? Is that a good excuse?"

Gosh, what should I do? Louis and others were just eating and I don't think they have plan to open their mouth. Arg, this is all my fault. If I hadn't pushed them away last night, GH wouldn't get mad at them.

Should I tell them that Alyn took care of me so that GH would calm down? Will he believe me? But what about Belle's feelings? She might think I'm a slut. Arg, I don't know what to do. Alyn seemed like doesn't have a plan to say a word either. Should I just tell the truth even there is someone whom will get hurt? Or just hide the truth and let GH speak?

Gosh, just this once, okay? I will apologize to Belle after this.

"A-Alyn took care of me," I said. I peeked at Belle but I saw nothing of her emotions. She was just staring at her food while slicing the steak. While Alyn also didn't seem to care what I said.

Did they fight? Did they fight because of me?

GH turned to Alyn, "Is that true, Alyn?" Alyn didn't speak, he just nodded. GH turned to Louis and the others, "Do you know about that?" They all nodded to what GH asked. GH closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you don't stop nagging," Sid replied.

GH took a deep breath, "Goodness, if you did it again I will really kick you out of here! Don't leave Maxine alone here when she's sick, do you understand? I didn't raise you like that!"

"We're sorry," they responded in unison.

They all seemed a little kitty when they are with GH, but they act like a wild tiger when they're without GH. I think it's kind of... cute? Haha.

[At School]

We arrived at school on time. We are now walking and I still trying to have time alone with Belle so we can talk but gosh she's walking Alyn and they are ahead of us.

I thought of talking to her during lunch break but I don't know her class number. I can't talk to her while she's eating because I know that she will going to eat with Alyn.

Gosh, at a time like this shouldn't she be the first to come to me because her boyfriend took care of me when I was sick? If it was Ferries, maybe she would have scratched my face and throw a fit in front of me, already. Arg, damn it.

I ran to them and held Belle's arm reason for them to turned to me. "Uh-uhm, I'm borrowing her." I said to Alyn and pulled Belle away from him.

"Hey," she pulled her arm so we stopped walking.

I turned to her, "W-We need to talk."

"Huh?" Her brows furrowed, "We're going to be late just reserve it until we get home."

She was going to turned her back when I stopped her, "No. Let's talk right now."

He took a deep breath, "Hey, look. I don't know what's your problem is but I need to go to my class right now. So, if you understand don't try to stop me again."

"A-Aren't you mad?" I asked. Gosh, why does it looked like that she didn't care?

"Mad of what? Did you do something bad at me?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Alyn took care of me last night you know," I bowed my head and played with my fingers.

"And so?" She chuckled, "I don't care a bit so can you stop now?"

I looked at her, "Did you fight because of me? I'm sorry, it wasn't Alyn's fault."

She bit her lower lip before she sighed, "Are you that worth it to be jealous for? Don't think too highly of yourself." She looked at me from toe to head, "I don't have to be jealous of you," she turned her back at me, "Don't pulled like that again because I don't want to be grab, got it? Now, if you'll excuse me." She said and then left.

Haah at least I talked to her, right?
