One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

The sound of the birds woke me up.

Yawn~

I rubbed my eyes before I sat down and looked around. Haa, we’re still in the island. I looked at my legs and saw a blanket. It’s maybe the reason why I didn’t felt cold last night, but as far as I remember, there was no blanket covering me last night.

I turned to my left and saw Alyn standing up. He probably put a blanket on me. What did Alyn used to shield himself for the cold, then? Sigh, I feel guilty for acting badly to him.

I stood up when I saw him approaching me. When he was finally in front of me, he gave me a basket. I stared at it for a few seconds before I looked back to Alyn who’s now walking away from me.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I took a deep breath before I chased after him, “A-Alyn!”

He stopped and turned around but he didn’t say anything.

I pouted and showed him the basket, “What- what am I going to do with this?”

“Pick your fruit in the forest,” he said and walked away again.

“B-But!”

He turned to me again, “What?” His brows furrowed.

He was annoyed.

I bit my lower and shook my head. I turned around and put the basket down. I ran to the sea to wash my face. After that, I returned to the basket then took it and walked into the forest.

Of course, he would be annoyed to me. I acted like I don’t want to be near him and hated to be touch by him, then I will suddenly talk to him as if I didn’t hurt his ego. He will think I am confusing.

I looked around the forest to look for a fruits. But instead of seeing a fruit, I saw a snake. What the fuck?! I thought it was clean because Alyn let me go here alone. Arg!

I slowly stepped back until my back hit someone. When I looked back at it, my arm suddenly moved and hugged the man I had bumped into.

“Tsk,” is what I heard from him.

“T-There’s a snake,” I said, still hugging him.

“Let go of me, I can’t breath,” he complained.

I pouted and let go of him. I turned to the snake who’s now moving and clung to the hem of Alyn’s shirt. He looked at me before his eyes shifted to my hand. He shook his head and did not speak.

He took some paper and a lighter out of his pocket. He lit the paper and brought it closer to the snake. After a while the snake suddenly went away.

I smiled and clapped my hands, “Woah, are they afraid of fire?”

“No,” he answered.

“Why that snake went away, then?” I looked at him.

“Because of the smoke,” he uttered. “Don’t ask anymore, let’s just keep going.”

I pouted and did not talk anymore just like what he wanted me to do. I was just following him while looking around. I saw a cute rabbit but I didn’t chase him when he ran away because I might get lost.

We picked some fruits and put them in the basket I was carrying. After that, I thought we would come back where we came from but we were not. We went to the river and Alyn caught fish. He was seem so accustomed to catch fish without using a fishing rod. He was just using a spear that he made for catching fish.

He looks cool. I can’t help but smile while staring at him.

After a few minutes, Alyn’s finally done. We are now walking to get back out of the woods.

“There’s another river there, you can take a bath there if you want,” Alyn suddenly said.

“What if there are snakes suddenly appeared?” I asked, while hugging the basket. Well, I couldn’t carry it with just one hand, it was so heavy.

“You can also take a bathe in the sea,” he replied.

When we got back I immediately took a bath. It’s just like I’m bathing on the beach. While Alyn was cooking the fish he had caught earlier.

After 15 minutes, I went out to the sea and Alyn and I changed. Alyn is now taking a bath and I am in charge of cooking the fish. When he was done we ate together.

“Let’s sleep together, I was afraid that snakes might crawl on me,” I said.

We don’t have rice, sigh…

“Build your tent, GH lent us a tent,” he replied without looking at me, “You can you use it.”

“I-I want to sleep beside you, Alyn.” I pouted.

His brows arched as he looked at me, “I thought you hate me?”

I looked downward, “I’m sorry about yesterday I was just… surprised.” He didn’t speak, and he was no longer looking at me. I sighed, “I’m telling the truth!”

“Okay,” he said that but he was not actually convince.

The night came. We built the tent and we went inside, after. But Alyn went out again after arranging our things. Alyn left a space between our pillow. [Oh, what served as our pillow was the bag we were carrying.] I stared to our pillow for a moment before I decided to put it closer to each other.

I said I want to sleep beside him but why did he left a space in between? So annoying. Tsk!

Alyn went back and I can see how confuse he is while looking at our bags.

I clicked my tongue, “Tsk, I want to sleep in you arms.”

His brows furrowed, “Do you even know what is the meaning of that? You also said you want to sleep beside me,” he heaved a sigh. “I’m a man, Ugly.”

My left brow arched, “Yeah, I know you’re a man.”

He closed his eyes and pinched his nose. After a few moment, I was surprised when I found him on the top of me.

“This is what I meant when I said I’m a man,” he uttered.

I looked away, “Oh-haha, o-okay?”

He sighed, “That’s all?”

I looked at him, “I know you can’t do anything to me.”

“How did you say so?” His brow arched.

“You have Belle,” I replied. “You have a girlfriend, I know you’re stupid but I know you won’t cheat. One more thing, I see that you…” I looked away, “… Really love her.”

Why does it hurt? Why does my heart seem to be pierced? Arg!

“Ah…” he said, before he left on top of me.

I sat down and stared at him. I was disappointed. I know what I was going to do was wrong but just this once… let me… let me confirm it.

“Alyn,” I called him and when he turned to me, I pressed my lips with his lips.

He seemed shock because when I moved my lips, his lips remained closed.

My heart seemed to explode. The butterflies appeared to my stomach and seemed to be having fun. They were dancing with joy, but the butterflies went gone when Alyn pushed me.

“What’s wrong with you?” He asked, while his hand was covering his mouth.

“N-Nothing, I’m sorry. Let’s just sleep,” I said and laid down.

Embarrassing. Ugh, fuck! The kiss ended but my heart won’t stop beating so fast- it won’t calm down.

“You don’t have to kiss me just to make me sleep beside you, you know.” He uttered, “Let’s just pretend that this didn’t happen. Sleep well.”

I covered myself with a blanket. I bit my lower lip and held my tears back. Fuck, I don’t know why I am acting emotional after hearing what he said, “let’s just pretend that this didn’t happen.”

I know what I did was wrong. He has a girlfriend but I still kissed him. And the thought of it make my heart aches.

I can kiss him without difficulty but why can’t I with Louis?
