One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point Of View

We don’t have class every Saturday and Sunday, that is why I am stuck in the house with the five monkeys. I wish I had somewhere to go so that I could leave here and get some fresh air. Well, it’s not that I could not get any fresh air when I go to the garden, what I mean is that I don’t wanna be stuck in here while the five jerks were here as well.

Knock! Knock!

I was thrown back from lying down when I heard a knock on my bedroom door. Tch, whoever it was I don’t care and I won’t open that goddamn door for him.

That’s what I said but when I heard someone knock again, I immediately took one of my pillows beside me and threw it to the door.

“Quit it!” I shouted. “Stop knocking on the door, it’s annoying. I won’t leave this room!” I pouted and put my arms over my chest while my brows still furrowed.

“Come out and eat your lunch! Excuse me, we are not your errand boys here, for your information! If it’s not because of the order of that old GH I won’t do this either! I will not knock on your bedroom door and force you to eat. So, you better come out before I lose my patience!” Sid replied from the other side of the door. And I really can tell how pissed he was.

I sigh, even the old man, who is not here at home, got involved in the conversation. He was in another country for the business he is handling, yet he is still involved. I felt sorry for GH for having these five jerks as his grandsons.

“Cut it out already! Did you not hear what I said? I said I will not leave this room! Or are you just really deaf for not hearing that? Huh?!” I responded.

He knocked again but this time it was louder than the first two knocks that he did earlier. You will notice that he is really pissed.

“Arg!” He growled because of annoyance. “Come on, Maxine.” His voice changed, it’s now calmed. “You haven’t eaten breakfast yet. GH, will be mad at us if he finds out that you skipped breakfast and now you are planning to skip lunch as well!”

I heaved a sigh, “I’m still not leaving here! If you want, bring me the food and leave it there outside the door of my room.”

“You sure you will eat it if I bring it here?” He asked, confirming what I said.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Yeah! Yeah!” I answered honestly. Well, I’m still a human, I still get hungry though.

“Fine. I will come back with your lunch, don’t leave the room.” He replied.

Haah! “Like I said–” I stopped talking when I heard his footsteps, it meant that he was walking away.

Hmm… maybe he was serious when he said that he would come back with my lunch. I was also a bit surprised a while ago when he called me by my name, and not just the nickname he was always calling me (Missy). Was that his way to placate me? Guess, it doesn’t not really matter right now.

I lean my head at the head of my bed and while thinking about something just to entertain myself. I was startled when my stomach growled, I pouted before I touched it. Oh, man! I’m hungry! I didn’t have breakfast either. Good thing that Sid soon arrived.

He knocked three times, “Your food is here. Come out and get it.” He commanded.

“You leave first. I will get it once you leave.” I replied.

“This girl, really! Are you having your ‘monthly visits’? That’s why you’re being like that?” He retorted.

My face flushed with what he said. Arg! Do I seem like that?! I took all my pillows from the bed and I threw them at the door one by one, where Sid was behind.

“Fuck off! Do you have a death wish?! Leave already!” I shouted and when the pillows were all gone, I threw the blanket. It was hard to throw because it’s heavy. Therefore, instead of reaching the door, it just went down the bed.

He laughed as if he was going to suffocate. I just covered my face with my hand to prevent myself from exploding. When I heard his footsteps fading away, I was also calming little by little. And when the footsteps were finally gone, I got off the bed and walked closer to the door to open it. As soon as I opened it my heartbeat became agile. I was startled… yes, Sid already went down but why is this man still here? His arms were placed over his chest while his sharp eyes were examined me. He looked at me from the bottom to the top as if he was judging me.

“W-What are you doing here?” I stuttered. I looked down and saw the tray with food in it. It must be my lunch!

“Get it and eat already. Not unless you want me to feed you?” He tilted his head and arch his brows.

My brows furrowed, “Wh-what did you say?! As if, man!” I defended myself.

“Defensive,” he muttered. “Don’t forget to take a shower, you smell.” And then he walked away.

Wh-what? What did he say again?!

I quickly picked up my food tray and immediately entered the room. When I landed the tray on the table by the side of my bed I slammed the door shut. I learned while panting because of irritation. When Alyn’s words rang in my ear, “Don’t forget to take a shower, you smell.” I was forced to smell myself. When I confirmed that I didn’t smell bad, I was even more annoyed. And my head feels like it’s gonna explode. Perhaps, it’s just him! He smells like shit! Arg! That Alyn demon, how dare he say that straight to my face as if he was telling the truth?!

I heaved a sigh and calmed myself down before I walked towards where the mirror was placed. What the— I almost cursed myself when I saw how I looked. I already know why Alyn just looked at me like that earlier! and I already know why he teased me like I really smell! I bowed my head and sat on the floor in self-frustration, my hair dishevelled like a bird’s nest. I still have a morning star in the corner of my eye and dry saliva on the side of my lip. My clothes are also crumpled.

“Arg! What a witch!” I shouted and pulled my hair.
