One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

Tomorrow morning, when I woke up I immediately got out of the room. I was brushing my eyes because my sight was blurry. When my sight went back to normal, Alyn’s door opened and the girl from last night walked out from there. She was wearing a big shirt that I think is familiar to me. I looked at the shirt seriously for a few moments, and that is when I remembered who’s shirt she was wearing.

After a few seconds, Alyn came out from his room wearing just a boxer. His eyes went to me when he noticed me standing at the door of my room and not moving. The girl was talking but his eyes were just looking at me. When the girl held his arm, his eyes went to the girl and he smiled. I don’t think that the girl noticed me because her attention was only with Alyn. I don’t know what they were talking because I couldn’t hear them. The girl giggled and slapped Alyn’s arm playfully, while Alyn just pinched her cheeks. I felt a sudden ache of my heart, but I don’t know the reason of it.

I took a deep breath before started to walked and went to the kitchen downstairs. When I arrived there, the three monkeys and a king were already there. I walked towards them and sat beside Louis. I was just quiet the whole time while they were talking about something, until Alyn and the girl finally arrived. We didn’t eat yet because we waited for them. I really wanted to start eating as soon as I arrived here just to not see Alyn’s face, but GH told us that we should always eat together.

They sat next to each other, and because I’m always unlucky the seat that are only available is the seat in front of me. I want to avoid them but they are sitting in front of me. Actually, this girl is way better than Ferries and that Carmona but I don’t understand myself for hating her. Damn, maybe I have already lost my mind.

“Wendy, eat this,” Louis said and placed a vegetable on my plate. While I just nodded and smiled. I don’t feel like talking right now. Even I really don’t want to eat vegetable, I just accepted it.

“Belle, you should taste this one,” Alyn said and placed a steak on that Belle’s plate, “It’s my favorite.”

That’s my favorite, too. Give me one, as well! It was what I want to say but I chose to remained silent. But, since when Alyn became like this to a woman?

“Really? Then, I will gladly taste it,” the girl- I mean, Belle smiled and sliced the steak Alyn gave her before tasting it. She looked at Alyn with a smile while chewing the steak, “I love it!” She said.

Alyn smiled, “Really?” Belle nodded. Alyn took Belle’s plate and sliced the steak for her and gave it back right after he finished, “Here, eatwell.”

“Woah!~” Belle clapped, “Thank you, babe!” Then she hugged Alyn.

My heart felt stabbed when I saw how Alyn smiled and caressed her hair. I just averted my gaze and started to eat. But, gosh, I don’t have the strength to feed myself.

Byron cleared his throat, “That’s enough, guys. We’re here, I hope you didn’t forget about us.”

“Let’s not flirt in front of the food, okay?” Giles said.

Belle finally let go of Alyn and they both started eating. I tried to eat a small amount of the rice and the vegetable that Louis gave me. But, I haven’t chewed it well when I felt like vomiting. I immediately got up and ran to the comfort room, and that’s where I released it.

“Ugh, fuck.” I cursed to myself. What’s gotten into me? Gosh.

“What are you doing?” I immediately turned around when a familiar voice spoke. He peeked behind me, “Did you vomited?”

I turned to flashed the toilet bowl and turned to him again, “What are you doing here?”

“I want to pee,” he answered.

I laughed at my own thoughts. Why am I assuming that he followed me here after seeing me ran here.

“Okay,” what I said, and walked passed him.

I walked back to the table, but I didn’t sit back.

“Aren’t you going to sit?” Sid asked.

“Oh, uh… I’m already full.” Of course, I lied.

“You haven’t even touch your food that well,” Louis uttered.

“I don’t feel like eating, I’ll head first.” I replied, and walked away.

I went back to my room upstairs and immediately took a bath. I don’t know how long have I been there, I just thought of coming out of the bathroom when I heard sid scream outside my room. I got out of my bathroom and walked towards the door to opened it for Sid.

“What?” I asked.

His eyes widened, and he immediately averted his gaze, “W-Why are you just wearing a robe?! My goodness, Missy!”

I rolled my eyes, “Shut up, and just tell me what you want.” I don’t have the mood to play around.

“Huh?!” He reacted while still looking at the other side, “You are asking me that, really?! Do you have amnesia or something? We’re going to be late at school!”

“Oh, now that you said it. I almost forgot,” I scratched my head. How could I forget that we have class today.

Sid turned to me, “Hey! What’s with your reaction? You should hurry and fix yourself!” He then pushed me, and closed the door.

I sighed, gosh. I’m such a mess.

I walked towards my walk-in closet and find my uniform. While wearing my uniform, I remembered what happened earlier, about Belle coming out from Alyn’s room. She’s wearing Alyn’s shirt, so it means she slept here. But, why in Alyn’s room? We have a guest room, there she should be sleeping and not to Alyn’s. What did they do last night? Did they do the husband and wife’s thing?

Ugh, gosh! Erased it from my mind. Whatever they did, it’s none of my business and I shouldn’t think of that anymore.

Yeah, I don’t want to think about it anymore, but that was what I could think of while I was in the class. I haven’t done anything yet, but I feel tired. I want to come home and rest. Will belle sleep there again? Sigh… there’s nothing to hate about her, really, but I hate her. Damn, I can’t understand myself! She even helped me bring my bag earlier, but maybe she did that because she really think that I’m really the aunt of those five? What if I tell her that I’m not really their aunt? Will her attitude towards me will change?

So, when we got home I talked to Belle.

“Belle, can we talk?” I asked, after we ate.

We were only ones here at the dining because the five men immediately come out.

She smiled and nodded, “Sure.”

“Uhm…” damn, do I have to go this far?

“Yes? What do you want to talk about, aunt?”

“I-I’m not their aunt, so you can stop calling me that.” I said.

She pouted, “Really? Or you just don’t want me to call you aunt, because we’re just in the same age?”

I shook my head, “It’s not like that. I’m not really their aunt.”

“Who are you, then? Why are living with them?” She crossed her arm over her chest.

I averted my eyes and scratched my head. Gosh, even I don’t know my role here.

“Tardy?” Byron peeked from the door, when he saw me he immediately walked towards me, “You’re here, I was looking for you. Oh, you’re here, too?” Byron turned to Belle.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Belle nodded, “Yep.”

“What are you two talking about?” He asked, while exchanging glance to us.

“We are just talking about something,” I replied.

“And what is it?” He asked. Gosh, why should we tell you, huh?

“She said that she’s not your aunt, is that true?” Belle asked this time.

Byron looked at me, and then turned to Belle, “Yep. We just teased her.”

“Why is he leaving here with you guys? If she’s not your aunt, then she’s your cousin?”

Byron smiled, “I don’t know if we really have to explain this to you, but Tardy…” he looked at me, “She’s my fiancé,” then he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

What the fuck? That’s even worse than being their aunt!

“W-What? Really?” Belle turned to me, “Gosh, I didn’t know, Byron had a fiancé!”

“What the fuck are you playing?” I muttered to Byron.

“Why? You want me to tell her the truth?” He muttered back.

Ugh, gosh! I really have a messy life!
