One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of ViewProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

As they said, I bought my food for lunch and went straight to the rooftop because I didn’t have anyone to eat with in the cafeteria. People might just look at me there. Moreover, I prefer the rooftop because apart from being quiet, the air is fresh. Unlike in the cafeteria, it’s hot and there’s a lot of people. I’m sure I’ll only get their attention if I eat there.

When I got to the rooftop I immediately removed the food I had bought from the plastic. I was about to eat my food because I was already hungry when the rooftop door suddenly opened loudly. My ghad! It startled me!

I turned to my back where the door was, and my brows met in an instant when I saw Alyn, “What are you doing here? Aren’t you with your cousins?”

“Do I have to ask your permission to come here?” he came over and sat down next to me. I was surprised when he dropped his food next to my food.

I immediately removed my gaze from the food and turned my gaze back to him, “That’s not what I meant.”

He turned to me, “Then, what?”

I sighed, I don’t want to argue with this man anymore. I’m already hungry so I will just put aside my thoughts. Gosh, I wish I could eat alone but I can’t because this guy came. Why did this man come here? Does he think I’ll be lonely because I won’t be able to eat with them? Tsk.

I took a deep breath, “Never mind, let’s just eat,” I said and ate ahead of him.

I’m just thinking that if Alyn is already here with me then where are his cousins? Are they eating well? But aren’t they with the women who beat me yesterday? Gosh! I don’t want to think and I really wouldn’t think if this monkey hadn’t come here. It can be Louis, but why does it have to be Alyn? I don’t want to be with him!

“Eat this,” he said after putting the vegetable in my food.

“I do not want to! I don’t eat vegetables,” I said and I was about to return the vegetable to his styro when he quickly avoided it causing the vegetable to fall.

We are using styro because we can’t use plates since we take out our food.

Alyn glanced at the fallen vegetable before glared at me. He closed his eyes as he pinched his nose. Oh-oh, he’s holding back his anger!

Before he could open his eyes, I took a vegetable in the styrofoam on which the vegetable dish was placed, “Alright, I’m going to eat vegetables!” I said before he might even blow fire.

Gosh, he really has a bad temper. I just dropped the vegetable and he got angry right away. My gosh! I feel sorry for his future child, one mistake and they will be scolded right away.

He opened his eyes and looked at me, still obviously upset with me, “Don’t be so picky, that’s the reason why you’re not gaining weight.”

I rolled my eyes, “Yeah, whatever.”

“Tsk,” he clicked his tongue. “Look at your wrist,” then he grabbed my wrist. And I happened to look at it too. “You look like a bamboo!”

My brows furrowed and withdrew my wrist from his grip, “What?”

“You look like a bamboo. You are thin because you are so picky,” he clicked his tongue,

“Oh, there…”he took the styrofoam filled with vegetables and poured it on my food, “Eat that so you can gain weight.”

“I’m not skinny, I’m sexy! Sexy!” I answered him. “You’re thin too,” then I rolled my eyes.

“Oh, really? Do you want to see my body, then?” he teased.

“Err- no, thanks and I might see a bone there.” I answered.

His brows furrowed, obviously pissed on what I said. Look! He started the teasing and now he’s the one to get pissed. Tch! But to be honest, Alyn is not really skinny. I just really retaliated for his teasing.

“So, you really want to see my body, huh?” He stood up and planned to take off his uniform.

“Agh! Enough, Alyn! Just eat okay?” I pulled his wrist down to make him sit down again, “You have a good body built so just shut up and let me eat.”

He sneered, “Oh, yeah? Have you seen my body?”

I turned to him and shook my head. I can’t speak because my mouth is full.

“Maybe you peeked at me while I was taking a bath,” his eyes narrowed as if examining my whole being.

My eyebrows met because he blamed me. I quickly swallowed the food in my mouth and immediately replied, “In your dreams! I just said that to keep you quiet. I would rather die than see your ribs. Gosh! I thought I could eat quietly but I couldn’t! Why did you come here in the first place? If you weren’t here I might have finished eating! Agh! This is so frustrating!”

He didn’t answer and just laughed out loud. Out of shock I forgot to blink. This is the first time I have seen Alyn laugh. He always frowned, furrowed an eyebrow and always had a dark aura. Gosh, did I react so badly that I was able to make an Alyn Crawford laugh?

I could hardly see his black eyes because his eyelid had swallowed it. He raised his head as he let out a loud laugh. He made his left hand support his back while his right hand held his stomach. If you were in front of Alyn now, you would think he wasn’t the Alyn you knew.

As I watched him laugh, it was only then that I noticed that it was more appropriate for him to smile. He is handsome even if you always thought that he could kill people with his gaze, but his handsomeness will be doubled when he smiles or laughs. It was as if the demon became an angel.

My ghad!

I immediately averted my eyes from him. I touched my cheek when I felt the heat rolled up there. I also touched my heart when it suddenly beat faster. Oh, damn. It must be because of his laughter!

“Damn. You’ve got a nice reaction there,” he said. I turned to him and saw that he was wiping a tear from the corner of his eye. This guy! He really made fun of me!

“You’re annoying-” I didn’t have a chance to finish what I was going to say when Alyn suddenly inserted food in my mouth.

“Yeah, right. You should eat so that you can gain weight. ”

I just glared at him and chewed up the food he gave me. Agh, whatever! Nothing will come to me for paying attention to Alyn.

After that we started eating without talking to each other, until we finished eating.

“I thought you said you threw that away?” he asked after a few moments of silence. He’s now looking at the jacket I was wearing.

“I was just kidding when I said that because I was mad at you,” I answered honestly. I have not forgotten what he did when he left me to the place I’m not familiar with but I have lost my anger towards him eventually.

“Why were you mad at me?” he asked before he drank in his drink.

I shifted my gaze, “Because you left me when I asked for your help.”

He sighed, “I said I didn’t leave you. I will just get my phone when you suddenly disappear. ” he explained.

“Even though, you still left me,” I replied and drank my drink.

“Okay, sorry. It was my fault I should have told you to wait,” he apologized.

I immediately turned to him, “D-Don’t be like that. I really might think that you’re not Alyn and just his impostor. The Alyn I knew would never say sorry.”

He tilted his head and frowned, “Am I that evil to you? I still have a conscience, you know. I would be sorry if I knew I was wrong.”

Damn, I offended him with what I said.

“W-Whatever. Past is past, I’m okay now,” I said to drive away the awkward wind.

“So, are we good now?” He touched my hand that I was using to support my weight.

I unconsciously removed my hand into the ground, because of Alyn’s sudden touch, “Y-Yeah,” and then I averted my gaze.

Damn, I felt something weird on my stomach! What is this?
