One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Alyn’s Point of View

It’s time to go home. I went straight to Maxine’s classroom to fetch her. I’m scared that she won’t go home again so I hurried to her classroom. Thank God, they just ended their class. I hid in the corridor and waited for Max to go out of the classroom. If I immediately show my face to her, she might not go out. Damn, it feels like she’s afraid of me. Like I was kind of a monster that she didn’t want to cross paths with. Sigh, I’m afraid of losing her. I’ll explain everything to her when she finally wants to listen to me.

Her classmates started to walk out of the classroom. I’m staring at them one by one, to see if Maxine was one of them. When I saw the woman who was Max earlier walking out, I looked at her back but Max wasn’t there. My heart is pounding with nervousness.

I took a deep breath after deciding to go inside. When the students saw me, they immediately gave way to me. As I entered the room, I saw Maxine sitting in her seat. She turned head to my direction, and my heart throbbed when I couldn’t see any emotion there.

I slowly walked towards her. When I got closer I said her name, “Max.”

“Talk,” is what she replied.

I smiled at the thought that she’s now ready to hear me out. I thought I would wait for 5 days for her to be ready. Thank goodness that I didn’t need to wait that long because I can’t wait that long. Not seeing her and touching her for one day seems like a month has passed. What if I haven’t touched or seen her for a week?

I explained everything to her: why I didn’t go to her when I said to her that we will eat lunch together; and what happened to the parking lot.

“She’s my ex-girlfriend. She left me for her dream and now she’s back saying that she went back for me- because she misses me. B-But I… I don’t know, I’m confused,” I uttered.

“Confused of what?” She lifted her head and looked at me.

“I don’t know,” I closed my eyes and brushed my hair backwards. “Fuck,” I mubled.

She bowed her head again and played with her fingers, “You’re confused about getting back at her or staying with me, is that it?”

“No, no, no,” I reacted immediately. “That’s not it, Max.”

“Then, what?” She looked at me again, “If I knew that your ex would come back, I would never have confessed to you.”

My brows furrowed, “What are you saying? If I hadn’t confessed, we’re not together now.”

“That’s my point,” she responded. That made my world stop. “If I hadn’t confessed, if we’re not together now, I wouldn’t be hurt like this.”

Although my hands were shaking, I still held her hand. I kneeled and kissed her hands, “I’m sorry, Max. I-I didn’t know this would happen. Fuck, I’m sorry. I promised to myself that I won’t hurt you but look what I did. I’m so s-sorry.”

She removed her hand from my grasp, “Do you still… love her?” She asked while looking at her hands.

I sighed, “What are you asking, Max? How could I be with you if I still love her?”

“The answer is just yes or no, Alyn,” she uttered. Hearing her calling my name like that breaks my heart.

I closed my eyes and shook my head, I held her hands again and leaned my forehead there, “My answer is no. I don’t love her.” I answered. I raised my head, looked at her then caressed her cheek, “The one I love is you, Max. Only you.”

“KYAAAH~!!”

“Did you film that, did you film that?!”

“You heard that?! He loves Maxine! Kyah!~”

“Wow, so romantic!”

“Kyaah~!!”

What the fuck were that noises?

I stood up, turned around and that’s where I saw the bunch of students watching us like we’re an actor and actress in a drama. Then, should I kiss her so that it would really look like that? My lips formed a smile of what I thought.

“So, what will happen to Elaine? I heard that she’s back,” I heard from the audience.

My smile faded. I looked at Maxine to see if she heard that. However, I’m not sure if she hears it. She’s just sitting there while still playing with her fingers.

I sighed. I licked my lower lip before I pulled Maxine up and was oppressed by a kiss.

“Oh, my gosh!”

“Capture that! Capture that!”

“Kyaaah~!!”

She was pushing me but I just tightened my grip on her waist so she wouldn’t get away. When she calmed down, I parted our lips.

“What are you…” she covered her mouth while her eyes were shaking.

“I want to prove to everyone that you’re the only one for me. You’re not just any other girl to me. You’re not my plaything, you’re my woman. You are mine and I’m yours,” I took a deep breath and reached her hand. “I’m serious about our relationship. Even if someone intervened between the two of us, even if we break apart right now, I would still crawl back to you, because I… I’m sure that you will be my last woman.”

When she covered her face, I immediately pulled her to a hug. She cried to my chest while I’m caressing her back.

“What the heck is happening here?” I couldn’t be wrong, that voice was from Byron.

“So many students,” and that was from Sid.

“Hey, move!” And that was from Giles.

“Do you see Wendy?” And that was Louis.

“H-Huh? I don’t know someone named Wendy,” and that… I don’t know who it was. Maybe one of the students outside the classroom.

I couldn’t see what’s happening outside before my back was facing them.

“Huh? Isn’t that Alyn?”

“Who’s with him?”

After I heard that, I just found them in front of Maxine and me.

“Is this Tardy?” Byron asked and touched Max’s shoulder.

I nodded, “Yeah.”

“So, you fixed the problem, huh?” Louis asked. He sighed, “That’s good.”

“But wait,” Giles entered the conversation, “This is not what we came for here.”

I looked at Giles while still patting Max’s back, “Then, what?”

Sid took a deep breath, “GH just called while we were waiting for you two at the van.”

I raised an eyebrow, “Then?”

“He said that he found Yanny’s biological parents,” Giles said.

My eyes widened. My hand patting Max’s back also stopped. It was like my whole world stopped.

“W-What?” Maxine asked before she left my embrace.

“Uhm…” Giles scratched his head and looked away, “GH found your biological parents. H-He said that on the phone.”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Isn’t GH in the mansion?” Max asked.

“No,” Byron shook his head, “He flew back to Canada yesterday. I think he asked for help finding your family.”

“Isn’t that good news?” Louis smiled.

Good news? Maybe for Max it is, but for me… I don’t know. Because of what happened, I’m scared that she would run away from me. If she met her parents, what would happen between us? If her parents ask her to live with them, would she agree? Will she leave me?

Damn. Of course, I was not in a position to decide what she would do. It’s her family, she was separated from them for a long time so she has the right to return if they take her. But when that happens, I don’t know if I can, if I could separate from her because I’m used to seeing her all the time; every time I wake up, when we eat, and wherever in the Mansion.

Haa, fuck.

What am I sulking for? I should be happy for her because she finally found her parents, her family. But damn it, why do I have a bad feeling about this?

I held Maxine’s hand, I looked at it and squeezed it. I’m scared…
