One Roof With Five Hot Jerks
Chapter Eighty-three

Maxine's Point of View

Troy chuckled, "W-What?"

"Why?" Ferries right brow arched, "You don't want to? Fine by me," then she sat properly.

Angela laughed, "He rejected you, girl."

Ferries turned to Angela and I think she threw death glare at her, "You wanna die?"

Angela stopped laughing immediately, "I'll zip my mouth," she said then zipped her mouth jokingly.

"I'll go back to my class," I interrupted. I turned to Troy and asked him, "What about you, Troy?"

"Oh, I will walk you there," he answered and stood up. "Let's go?"

"Huh?" Ferries scoffed. "Why would you walk her? If someone catches you, they will get a wrong idea. Just go back to your class and we will walk Max to her room." Troy looked at her and a smirk curved into his lips, "Why are you being over protective to Max, now? As far as I know, you were her bully."

"We're friends now," she crossed her arms over her chest and stood up. "What about you? Why do you need to walk her to her classroom?"

"Do you really need to ask that? Of course, to make sure that you wouldn't bully her on the way," Troy answered.

"E-Hey~ that's enough, guys," I entered the conversation.

My gosh, why are they becoming like this suddenly? They were good just a while ago.

"Enough? He started it," Ferries pointed to Troy.

Troy pointed to himself, "Me? Who reacted first when I said I will walk Maxine to her classroom? Isn't it you?"

Ferries was about to answer when Angela spoke, "We can walk Max because we're in the same class. You can rest assured that we won't do anything bad to her."

"No," Troy stood firmly and inserted both of his hands into his pants pocket. "If you will go with her, then I'll go."

Gosh, what are they fighting about? Is it really because that Troy will walk me or because Troy rejected her, that's why Ferries is on fire?

I heaved a sigh, "You know, guys? I have two feet, I can walk on my own and I'll just go back there alone."

"Max, no. I'll go with you," Troy insisted.

"We will go with you, too." Ferries said.

"What's the matter here?"

I turned to my back to see who was the person who asked. When I saw who it was, my face suddenly lit up.

"Alyn!" I uttered. I approached him and hugged him.

Ferries clicked her tongue, "Tch. What are you doing here?"

I parted from Alyn and turned to Ferries. I think the one she asked was Alyn.

"What about you? Are you causing trouble with Max, again?" He asked.

What did he say? Max?

I raised my chin and looked at Alyn. He said, Max! This is the first time I heard him call me by that name. Don't you remember? Whenever he calls me, he always calls me 'ugly'. Hearing him say my name even if it's not really full, it flutters my heart. Even if it's just Max, and not Maxine I'm still glad.

Ferries rolled her eyes, "After asking me a favor, you will accuse me?"

"Then, what are you doing here?" Alyn asked again.

"I'm here because I saw Maxine here," she answered.

"What about you?" Alyn asked Troy this time.

"I saw Max here, so I approached her," he answered.

"Is that so?" Then he turned to me, "Why are you here? Don't you have class?"

"It's our free time," I answered.

He nodded, "Aren't you going now?"

"Oh, right!" Damn, I almost forgot. Good thing, Alyn reminded me.

"Let's go, I'll walk you there," he said and grabbed my waist. "We will go now," he said to others before we turned away.

I giggled while we were walking, "You went there because you saw, aren't you?"

"Yep," he smiled. "What were you talking about before I came? The aura seemed intense when I got there."

"Ah, Troy and Ferries were throwing words," I answered.

"And why?"

"Troy insisted on walking me to the classroom but Ferries didn't agree," I said. "Do you think Ferries and Troy are a good match?" I smiled.

He chuckled, "What? I don't know. Maybe?"

I elbowed him, "What's with you? Just picture them together in your imagination and see if they will look good together."

"Hmm..." Alyn looked up as if thinking, "But first, why are you asking?"

I averted my eyes, "I-It's because Ferries asked Troy if he wants to be her boyfriend."

"And? Did that guy reject her?"

I nodded, "But it's not direct. I think Troy was just startled. He didn't really say that he didn't like Ferries."

"Uh-huh?" Alyn smirked. "I ship them now, so that guy would leave you alone."

"What?" My eyes widened. "But he's the only friend I have!"

"You don't need any friends now that I'm here. Also, aren't my cousins your friends already?"

"Oh, you're right," why didn't I think of that?

I smiled, "Why? Are you jealous?"

"Yeah, I don't want others to touch what's mine. To take what's mine. I don't give my priority to others."

Damn. I didn't know that he could utter such words. I mean, how can he be straightforward? Damn, I feel shy now.

He giggled, "Your face turned red."

"W-What? That was only your imagination," I said and covered myself.

Gosh, it's embarrassing.

"Come here," he pulled me and we went inside the... storage room?

"What are we going to do here- hmp!" I didn't finish what I was going to say when Alyn suddenly kissed me.

I closed my eyes and kissed him back. I pulled his nape even closer to deepen our kiss. I was going to be drunk by his kiss when he suddenly parted our lips.

I didn't get the chance to ask him why he stopped, when he suddenly hugged me, "I love you, Maxine." He whispered.

My butterflies woke up and danced to my stomach, joyfully. And my heart is beating faster and louder. I'm afraid that Alyn might hear it.

He let go of the hug, then held my left hand and placed it on his chest. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "You hear it? Can you feel my heartbeat?" He smiled, "This hearts beats for only you." His heart is pounding but it pounding even more after he uttered those words.

"You... Why do I feel like I'm facing the wrong Alyn?" I closed my eyes, "Damn. I didn't know that you are this sweet. Why is it so easy for you to say what's on your mind? How can you be straightforward?"

He put down my hand and giggled, "I just want to assure you that I love you. That you're not just the other women I brought to the Mansion. I don't want you to think of that. If it doesn't cross your mind, that's good. At least, I said it to you

beforehand," he held my hand and kissed the back of my hand, "Maxine, you're different from them. I love you, just you. So, can I only be yours too?"

I bit my lower lip before I pulled him to a kiss. Damn, I don't know how to put my feelings into words. I don't know what to say. Maybe this kiss will give him an answer, right?

I parted our lips, "My heart is yours to claim."
