One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

“Wendy,” Louis called me with a smile.

When Louis walked, Alyn exited. Damn. Don’t tell me Alyn knows? Gosh. Why does it have to be Alyn? Why him when it can be Giles. Why does Alyn have to be the first to know? I want to devour the earth right now!

“H-Hey,” I greeted Louis and forced a smile.

“We’re going to play jenga, wanna join us?” He asked.

Jenga? Is that the tower of blocks?

“I would like to but…” I scratched my head, “… I don’t know how to play that.”

“Neither do I,” he chuckled, “That’s okay, Wendy.” Then he held my wrist, “Play with us, hmm?”

I just smiled. How can I refuse if he makes puppy eyes in front of me?

He pulled me out of the kitchen and carried me into the living room. Gosh! I forgot to drunk water before going with Louis. Argh, it’s Alyn’s fault!

We found Sid, Giles and Byron in the living room. Jenga is in the middle of them. Louis and I sat next to his cousins.

“Okay,” Giles clapped, “Who will go first?”

“You,” Sid replied pointing at Giles.

“Dream on!” Giles raised his middle finger to Sid, we laughed. “Let’s just do rock, paper, scissor. Whoever lose, he will be the first to play.”

We did what Giles said. The first one to be eliminated was Louis, followed by Byron and me. Giles and Sid are the only ones left. We laughed when they fought a few times but they always had the same sign.

“Damn, bro! Let me beat you!” Sid said. He even pulled his hair due of annoyance.

“I really don’t want to, let me beat if you want, so we can end this .” Giles replied.

They fought again several times until Giles defeated Sid. We laughed when Sid was acting like Goku in the animé: a super saiyan.

We have already started playing. This is the order of who goes first:

1. Sid

2. Giles

3. Byron

4. Me

5. Louis

The blocks didn’t fall down after Giles took one. Byron followed and like Giles the blocks were not knocked down. It’s my turn! I was suddenly nervous, because there’s to be a dare when you the blocks in your turn. When I was about to remove a block, Jenga suddenly fell down. How did it fall when I didn’t even touch it?

“What the?” I whispered to myself.

“Oops,”

My attention shifted to the man speaking behind me. My forehead furrowed when he suddenly bowed. I followed where his hand was going and the annoyance flared up in my chest when I saw that he had picked up his phone near Jenga.

“My fault,” Alyn said before standing straight.

“Damn, bro! Why did you throw your phone here?” Sid asked angrily.

“I didn’t threw it, it just fell.” Alyn replied.

“Huh?” My left brow arched, “You’re far from the Jenga, if your phone falls, it shouldn’t reach what we were playing.”

“What do you know? Are you a cellphone?” That’s all he answered me before he turned his back on us.

What the heck? Arg! Alyn is really annoying!

“Tsk,” Byron clicked his tongue, “I’m just going to bake cupcakes, come on, Tardy.” He stood up and approached me, “Watch me bake,” he said before he pulled me upright.

“Wow, do you really know how to bake?” I asked Byron and I picked up the baked cupcake.

“Why? You thought I lied when I said I was the one who baked the cupcake I gave you before?” He asked. He’s now removing his apron.

When he finally removed his apron, his six abs greeted me. I immediately turned my back from him and closed my eyes as the cupcake I was holding covered my eyes.

I took a deep breath before speaking, “Byron, get dressed!”

“Oh, shoot! Sorry, Tardy!” Byron said, “I’ll go out first to get dressed, stay here and don’t go!” He added.

When he passed in front of me to get out, I immediately faced the counter. My gosh, my virgin eyes! I hope he puts on the apron again so that his body can be hidden somehow. Sigh, I didn’t notice that he wasn’t wearing any clothes because he blindfolded me earlier before he sent me here to the kitchen. He even made me sit in front of the counter so I could watch him how to bake. And that’s when I found out that he really knows how to bake. He knows how to bake but he doesn’t know how to cook dishes or even cook rice. I really can’t understand that man.

As I waited for him I bit into the cupcake he made. It taste just like the first cupcakes he gave to me at school, it’s not too sweet. It’s delicious!

“Tardy, we’re going to play soccer,” I heard Byron say. I turned to the door and saw him walking towards me. When he’s finally in front of me, he held my hand, “Let’s go. We’re going to play soccer.” After he said that, he pulled me out of the kitchen.

We went outside the mansion (left side) where the court is. Actually, the basketball court is on this side and the garden on the right side of the mansion. At the back is the pool area and at the front is a fountain.

They just put a soccer net on the court whenever they want to play it. They often play basketball and soccer but they also play badminton and table tennis sometimes. I used to just watch them from my room but now they let me play with them. I can’t help but be happy, I hope this will take a lifetime.

“We are here!” Byron shouted when we saw the four. He even waved so that Louis could really notice him.

Louis immediately stood up and walked over to approached us, “Hey,” he greeted as he approached.

I smiled, “You’re sweating too much.” I said.

He nodded, “Yep, we just finished playing basketball.”

“Oh, don’t stick to Tardy, your sweat might get on h,” Byron pushed Louis weakly which made me laugh. “Do you want to watch or join us?” Byron asked as he turned to me.

“I’ll just watch you guys, I don’t know how to play soccer,” I replied and he just nodded for response.

When we got to the bench where his cousins were sitting, Byron made me sit there. Giles, Sid and Alyn stood up to prepare for their game. They even argued at first about who would be the team but eventually they also agreed to the team they made. Giles, Byron and Louis are on the same team while Sid and Alyn are on the same team.

They have already started playing. I laughed out loud when Sid fell as he trying to snatched the ball from Giles. They are fun to watch because you can really see how close they are to each other. The other cousins ​​can’t get along unlike them, they always gets along in everything.

I smiled as I watched them play but my smile disappeared from my lips when the ball hit me. Because of that I fell down, my back was on the ground while my foot was still on the chair. Damn, it hurts! The ball really hit straight in my head!

“Tardy!”

“Missy!”

“Wendy!”

“Yanny!”

I heard Byron, Sid, Louis and Giles called me in unison before I heard the sound of their shoes: running.

“Yanny, are you okay? Are you dizzy?” Giles asked me one question after another. He helped me sit up again, then Sid sat next to me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Your nose is bleeding!” Sid stood up and he panicked instantly. “Damn! We need to bring her to the hospital!”

His cousins ​​just shook their heads by what he said. I touched my nostrils to check if there was really blood. And damn, there’s really a blood!

“Look up, Tardy I’ll just get a tissue,” Byron said before he ran.

“Tsk,” Louis clicked his tongue and looked at the other direction, “Alyn, say sorry to her.”

So, he turned to Alyn. I thought he took his eyes off me because he was afraid of blood.

And what about Alyn? Did he kicked the ball that hit me, that’s why Louis ordered him to apologize to me? If it was Alyn who kicked the ball, he probably meant to aim it at me. Argh! It would have been okay if Alyn wasn’t in the world. I hope he disappears!

“K. Sorry?” Alyn replied.

What the heck? That’s it? What kind of sorry doesn’t seem to come from the heart? Gosh! The blood would really come out of my nose because of being annoyed with this man!
