One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

“Did you enjoy?” I asked Louis.

He turned his head to me and nodded, “Yeah, how about you?”

I nodded, “Of course! And uhm…” I bowed my head and looked at the teddy bear I was holding, “Thank you for this.”

Gosh, did you know? When we were walking at the mall, I happened to see a teddy bear and I was looking at that. I didn’t notice that Louis was looking at me because I was looking at the teddy bear, and when he followed my gaze he figured out where I was looking. Then, he asked me if I want that teddy bear. I was shocked because I thought we’re just having a movie here at the mall but we also ate after buying the teddy bear. Isn’t it romantic? Gosh, I was so thrilled!

“No worries,” he smiled. “Shall we go in?”

I nodded as an answer to what he asked. He opened the door and we went inside the mansion together. As we got in as we saw the four man standing in front of the door.

“Where have you been?” Alyn asked, his arms were crossed over his chest.

I just rolled my eyes because of annoyance, what is it to him?

“We just went at the mall,” Louis answered.

“What did you do at the mall?” Giles asked.

My left brow arched, “Are you interrogating us?” I asked.

Alyn’s eyes turned to me but he did not speak. Instead, Byron spoke, “It’s already 7. We waited almost 3 hours for the both of you so we have to know. Anyway, have you eaten yet?”

“We ate already,” Louis answered again.

“Did you date?” Sid asked. “After dating me yesterday, you’re dating Louis now? Come on, Missy you’re hurting my feelings,” he even touched his chest and acted like he was really hurt.

I just rolled my eyes because of his actions, “We just watched a movie and eat, that’s all.”

“Isn’t it still a date?” Alyn smirked, “And what that thing you’re holding?”

I looked at the teddy bear before I looked back to Alyn again, “It’s teddy bear, isn’t it obvious? Are you blind or you just don’t know the face of a teddy bear?”

Alyn’s brows met, and before he could open his mouth to speak, Byron already spoke, “I-Is that so? Then, excuse us. We will going to eat because we are so hungry.”

Byron said that but Alyn remained standing in front of Louis and me. Why is he still standing here? I thought they are hungry?

Louis held my hand, “Alyn, aren’t you going to eat?”

“C-Come on, Alyn.” Giles tapped Alyn’s shoulder.

“Let’s eat, bro. I’m hungry!” Sid complained and pulled Alyn.

I breath a sigh of relief when the four man disappeared from my eyes.

I turned to Louis and smiled, “I’ll go ahead to my room. Thank you for today, Louis.”

He messed my hair and smiled, “Thank you, too. I really enjoyed it. Can we go outside again next time?”

“Of course!” I answered immediately, “Bye!” I waved my hand before I ran to my room upstairs.

I immediately closed the door of my room and rest my back there. I touched my chest and oh, my gosh! My heart is beating so loud. I don’t think it was because I ran, I think it was really because of Louis. Damn. I thought my feelings for him was already gone but I was wrong. My feelings for him is still here. My heart is not calming down, I’m going to die at this rate. Kyah!

I stayed there for a few moments before I decided to take a bath. I lasted there for 30 minutes, and exactly when I came out from the bath room, someone knocked on the door.

“Who’s that?!” I asked while still not opening the door. Duh, I’m still on my robe. I haven’t wore any clothes yet.

“It’s me, Byron,” Byron answered.

“And Giles!” Giles followed.

What do they want this time? Sigh, “Okay, wait a moment!”

I removed my bath robe and changed to a loose shirt and a shorts. I get my comb from the vanity table, and while combing my hair I opened the door.

Byron waved his hand, “Hello, Tardy!”

“Let us in,” Giles said and pushed me so that they could get in.

My gosh, these guys. I just let them do what they want and walked towards the vanity table to put back the comb, then walked towards the two guys sitting on my bed.

I placed my both hands on my waist, “Okay, what do you want?”

“Wow, did you just shower? You smell nice, Tardy.” Byron complimented me.

My eyes twitched, “Just get straight to the point. I’m already sleepy, I don’t have time for jokes.”

Giles tilted his head, “But… I don’t think, Byron was joking. You really smells nice.”

“Shut it! Of course, I just took a bath!” I said. These monkeys, really.

“Fine,” Giles heaved a sigh. “Do you like Louis?”

“What?” I asked in instant, gosh, it just slipped from my mouth.

Am I that obvious? But, what is it to them if I like Louis or not? Gosh!

“I’m not in the position to say this but…” Giles took a break before continuing, “… don’t get too attached to Louis.”

Don’t get too attached? Why? And, why should I listen to them?

“We are just warning you, Tardy.” Byron uttered, “We’re just concern, you’re important to us. We don’t want you to get hurt.”

“W-W-Wait! Does Louis have a disease or what? Why are you telling me these?” Gosh, I’m so confused!

They will be a dead meat if they were just joking around. But, their faces were serious. But, I know that they act well. My goodness! I don’t know what to believe anymore.

Giles and Byron shook their heads, “Louis doesn’t have any disease, but you should be careful.” Giles warned me.

Byron nodded, “We are just saying these because we’re concerned. But, you can just set aside what we said if you want. You’re the one to make a decision, after all.”

I just nodded, but I really don’t get what they are saying. My gosh. Anyway, they said that I can just set aside what they said, so maybe I will just do that in order to rest my mind and stop thinking. I might stay awake tonight if I will keep thinking of that.

“Oh, by the way, before I forget, I brought cupcakes for you. I baked it when we were waiting for you earlier.” Byron said and handed me a box of cupcakes.

I smiled, “Thank you!”

“Do you want to play a game with us, Yanny?” Giles asked.

“A game? But, I’m already sleepy.” I answered.

“It’s just, drink or answer.” Byron uttered.

“Drink or answer? Is that the name of the game?” I asked. I don’t know that game.

Byron nodded, “Yep. Giles, brought drinks.”

What? But, I did not noticed them earlier that they were carrying something with their hands.

“Here,” Giles showed me the tray that had a ten shot glass with different drinks.

“Are those alcohols?” I asked while pointing at the shot glass.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Byron shook his head, “Nope, only five, and the other five are soy sauce, apple cider, hot sauce, vinegar, and lemon.”

I nodded, “What are the mechanics of the game?”

“I have a roulette game in my phone, we’re going to put our names here…” he showed me his phone which the roulette game was the display, “… then, we’re going to spin it. Whose name the arrow stopped, that person will choose to answer our question or she/he choose to drink, but of course, we are going to decide which drink she/he will drink.”

I smirked. I just have to answer their every questions when the arrow pointed my name, right?

“Game!” I replied.
