One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

Friday came in an instant. Also, GH suddenly called and said that he was near the Mansion, so the five monkeys went to fetch him. While Belle and I stayed here at the Mansion. Gosh, GH really surprised us. Those five men didn’t look good in taking care of themselves when they found out that GH was just near the mansion. Maybe he passed by to his friends first before he called us. Sigh, I was wanting to pick him up at the airport.

Oh, how would GH react if he sees Belle? Just curious. Does he know that Alyn was taking a girl here? Or does he know that Alyn has a girlfriend?

We don’t have class today because today the grand ball will be held. I’m not excited at all even though I already have a partner, plus he’s famous. Hmp, I don’t really care because Sid told me that he’s an asshole.

I was watching TV when Belle came down from Alyn’s room wearing one of Alyn’s shirts again. She walked slowly until she approached me and sat down beside me. Okay, I can feel her stare. What does she need? Oh, does she want to ask me about Byron?

“Hey,” she muttered.

Here we go. Hmm, should I just go back to my room? I don’t want to argue with her. Sigh…

I lowered the volume of the TV before I turned to her, “Yes?”

“Do you… and Byron really are together? Or you both lied to me?” She asked while looking directly into my eyes.

Gosh, how can I lie if she’s staring at my eyes?

I sighed, “I wasn’t the one who lied to you. It was Byron, I just rode what he said.”

She crossed her arms over her chest, “Isn’t it the same? You still lied because you rode on what he said and did not tell me the truth.”

“Huh?” I scoffed, “And why do I have to tell you what’s true and not? You’re not even their relatives so why should I explain everything?”

“I’m Alyn’s girlfriend,” she proudly said, with her chin up. And I got irritated with that. Goodness!

“Yes, you are. But that’s not give you the right to know everything,” I shook my head.

“I just wanted to know why you were here if you’re not even their relatives,” her brows met. “Oh, you’re not even their relatives but you were staying here and even lied to me.”

Gosh, so what does she really want?

I just rolled my eyes, “I don’t think I need to explain it to you.”

“What-”

BANG!

Belle didn’t finish what she was going to say when the door suddenly opened loudly which made her stop talking.

“Missy!” Sid immediately ran to me and hugged me tightly.

“Where’s GH?” I asked him.

“Oh,” he let go of me, “They are coming.”

I looked back at the door again and waited for GH and the others to come in. When I saw Louis with some baggage, I stood up immediately, and when I finally saw GH next to him my face lit up and ran towards GH to give him a hug.

“Gosh, GH! You’re finally here!” I said while still hugging him.

He laughed and patted my back, “You’re still pretty, Maxine. So, how’s your stay here? Did my grandsons give you a hard time? Now’s your chance to pay them back.”

I chuckled and let go of the hug, “No, GH. They’ve been good to me. How’s your ride? Why don’t we eat first?”

Of course, that’s a lie. GH just came home. I don’t want to give him a headache.

“Oh, I’m fine, I’m fine,” he gestured his hand, “I just need to rest first because of the jetlag.”

“Oh, right. You need to rest,” I uttered. Gosh, so embarrassing!

We started to walk but GH suddenly stopped. When I looked at him to see what was the problem, I saw him staring at the front. So, when I followed his gaze, I realized that he was looking at Belle.

“Who’s that pretty girl over there? Can someone introduce her to me?” GH asked.

Pretty? Pretty my ass!

I was going to open my mouth when Alyn approached Belle and wrapped his arm over Belle’s shoulder, “Gh, she’s Belle, my girlfriend.”

Gosh, why does the word ‘my girlfriend’ ring in my ears? It’s annoying.

“Your what?”

“Girlfriend, GH.” Alyn repeated. While Belle was just smiling ear to ear. Tch.

I averted my eyes when Alyn and my eyes met. Gosh, I don’t know, my eyes just moved on their own. I did not order them to avoid Alyn’s gaze, okay? Sigh, now I feel awkward.

“What about Louis?” GH turned to Louis.

My goodness, he said he needs to rest first but why is he still not moving in his room?

Louis shook his head, “I don’t have someone yet.”

“Oh, is that so? Then, what about our Maxine?” GH tapped my shoulder.

I turned to him, “Wh-What? Uh- I still don’t have one.”

GH shook his head, “No. What I mean is, what about just you and Louis?”

“H-Huh?” I don’t get it. My brain seems to not function properly today.

“Woah~ you both got GH’s blessing already,” Byron clapped.

“I’m jealous!” Sid pouted.

“What about me? I think I’m also interested in Yanny,” Giles said, that made my eyes twitch. This guy, what is he saying?

“Huh? Who’s Yanny?” GH asked. Of course, he doesn’t know that it was me.

“It’s Tardy,” Byron answered.

“Who’s that?” GH brows met due to confusion.

“Missy, GH. It’s Missy,” Sid replied.

“And who the fuck is that now? All of you already have a girlfriend, huh?”

Oh, dang. GH was really confused.

“That’s enough, GH. Let’s go to your room so you can rest,” Louis said and led the way.

“But I wanted to know who those girls they were mentioning,” GH insisted.

Louis took a deep breath, “They were talking about Maxine.”

“Huh?”

“I’m Missy, Tardy and Yanny, GH.” I muttered to GH.

GH turned to me, “What? You gave her a trashy nickname?!”

“What? Mine’s the best!” Sid responded.

“Those of us are better compared to Alyn,” Giles defended himself.

Byron and Sid nodded, “That’s true! Alyn called Tardy, Ugly woman.” Byron complained.

“Goodness! You have to call her ‘pretty’ from now on, understand?!”

My eyes widened. What kind of nickname was that? Gosh! “But, GH-”

I didn’t finish what I was going to say when GH shook his head, “No, buts.”

“That’s too much!” Byron complained.

“Just do what I said or else you will be kicked out,” GH threatened them.

“Fine, we’ll just call her that until you leave.” Giles said.

“That will be fine,” GH nodded, “Oh, I should rest now.”

Louis will take GH to his room so I just remained standing with Sid, Byron and Giles while following them with our eyes. They were about to step on the staircase when GH turned to me, “I ordered a gown for you that you can use later. Someone will be coming here for you,” he said then started to climb up.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

What GH said was true. Someone came with a magazine and a red-black gown. It was not a ball gown. Wait, what do you call it? Hmm… Oh! A mermaid gown. It’s beautiful but I don’t know if it will fit me. And I also don’t know if my body will turn out okay with that gown. I haven’t worn a gown like that one so I’m not sure what I will look like, especially my body! I’m not examining my body so I don’t know if I have a body shape or just straight hips. But I do hope that it will turn out to be okay. Gosh, please! I don’t want to look like a fool there!
