One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

We really woke up early in the morning to go to the house Alyn was talking about last night. It’s a two story house. It has a terrace on the second floor which is also connected to one of the rooms. The second floor has three rooms. It also has a master bedroom on the first floor. And there was a room for a house helper. After the kitchen, it’s outside and on the opposite side is the maids’ room. It’s nice and big. The garage and pool are present, too. It will be too big just for the two of us. Can’t we just live together with his cousins in their Mansion? Psh. I’m nervous to be alone with him.

“Aren’t we going home now? We’re done checking the house,” I asked. I’m sitting on the couch with my legs crossed.

He sat down next to me, “We’re staying here.”

I looked at him instantly, surprised by what I heard, “And why is that?”

“This is our house so why do you think we still have to go home to your mansion?” He turned to me with his brow arched.

Are we really going to stay here? Alone?!

I averted my eyes, “But we still lack things. The things we need are still not here.”

“Oh, I asked my cousins to buy them now, they will arrive soon,” he answered. “What else? Do you still have excuses to say so you could avoid living with me?”

What the?

I turned to him with my brows furrowed, “I’m not avoiding it!”

“Okay?” He shrugged. “Even if you deny it, it’s pretty obvious,” he said, then he took his phone out of his pants pocket.

“Tch. Think whatever you want,” I rolled my eyes as if he would see it. I crossed my arms over my chest and did not speak anymore.

I will just waste my saliva if I continue to argue with him. I’m really not avoiding living with him, I’m just fucking nervous and I’m not ready living with him in one roof, yet. Also, we still have school to attend to! We’re not done attending school yet for fuck’s sake. What would my schoolmates say if they found out that I’m married? They will probably judge me. But who the fuck cares about that now? What matters right now is that we’re going to stay here starting today! We’re going to live here as husband and wife!

Damn. My heart is pounding again. How to calm down?

“Aren’t you hungry yet?” He asked after a long silence.

I shook my head, “No. Not yet.”

“You sure? We can eat in the restaurant if you’re hungry,” he said.

I turned to him, “If you’re hungry you can go and eat. I’m staying here.”

“Can’t I just eat you?” He smirked.

My eyes widened. I immediately looked away and pursed my lips to stop myself from squalling.

Goddamn it. What does he want from me? Why is he doing this to me? My heart was already beating fast earlier but it accelerated even more when he mentioned those words! Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I think he would hear my heartbeat if this keeps up.

“Why are you facing the other way? I’m here,” he uttered, he even poked my side.

I know that you’re in there! But if I look at you, you might see how red my face is!

“I want to wash up,” I said, changing the subject. I stood up and was about to walk away when he held my hand causing me to stop.

“Want to wash up together?”

Damn it! I can imagine his face right now. And I know how big his smile is, now that he is teasing me.

My gosh, what time will his cousins arrive? I want to get away from this man, right away!

I removed his hand while still not facing him. I think my face is going to explode in just a minute.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” is all that came out of my mouth.

“Are you shy? Don’t be shy, you already see all of me and the same goes for me,” he teased. Wow, he really doesn’t want to stop, huh? “You even drugged me after using my body.”

I bit my lower lip and turned to him, “I didn’t use your body for my own satisfaction!”

His smile became wider, “I didn’t say anything.”

“Shut it! You didn’t say it but that’s what you want to convey to me,” my brows met. “You loved it, too!”

“Too?” He covered his mouth out of amazement. He removed his hand after a moment and the edge of his lips rose, “So, you enjoyed it, huh?”

Fuck it.

I don’t want to talk to this man anymore!

I didn’t answer and just walked away. I went to the comfort room right away. I washed my face and breathed deeply to calm myself down. I’m not calming myself because I’m mad. I’m calming myself because I think my face and heart are going to explode in any second! Oh, damn it. If we’re on good terms, I might jump into him right away. Haa, I want to hug him so bad.

Knock! Knock!

“Hey, are you really washing up? You don’t have any clothes here,” Alyn said.

“I’m not!” I answered. I took a deep breath before I opened the door.

He smiled, “Did you wash your face?”

I rolled my eyes, pretending to be annoyed, “Isn’t it obvious? Are you blind? My face is still wet.”

He giggled, “I’m just asking, why are you mad? Come here,” he grabbed my hand and pulled me without warning.

He made me sit on the couch while he took something from the bag he brought when we went here earlier. After a while he faced me with a smile. He carefully wiped my face with the small towel he was holding.

After drying my face, he sat next to me, “That’s better.” He said while glancing at my face, “Don’t wear makeup next time, you look prettier when you don’t have that thing on your face.”

Badump!

“Why would I listen to you?” I rolled my eyes and looked away.

Badump!

“Because I’m your husband,” he answered, which made my heart jump.

I turned to him instantly, “H-Husband?”

Oh, my gosh! It’s just one word so why does my heart flutter? Have I gone mad?

“Pfft~ Why is your face becoming red?” He caressed my cheek.

I immediately slapped his hand and backed away, “Why are you touching my face suddenly? Don’t do that?”

He sighed, “Got it.” He said and looked at his face again.

What? That’s it? Won’t he really touch my face anymore?

Tch. Whatever!

I was the one who asked him that, so why am I disappointed? And why the fuck is his cousins are not here yet? The heck? Will his cousins really go here or is he just lying to me?

“Ehem~” I pretended to clear my throat to get his attention. Thank goodness, I didn’t fail, “I’m hungry. Let’s eat.”

“Uh-huh?” His left brow arched.

Why? Doesn’t he believe me?

“If you don’t want to then it’s fine,” I said and crossed my arms. I’ll just stay here if that’s what he wants. I will just let myself starve to death.

He stood up. He put his phone back in his pants and held out his hand, “Let’s go.”

I stood up without reaching his hand, “I can stand on my own.”

I don’t want to touch his hand, I’m afraid I may not let it go.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Okay,” he responded and walked away.

I heaved a sigh before I followed him.

As long as I can, I will prevent it from being obvious that I still have feelings for him. Because I’m afraid that if he falls for someone else, I won’t be able to let him go. We were not married in the church, he will think that our relationship has no value because we were only married on paper. And because of our parents’ business that is why we got married, it is not unclear that he would like someone else. I’ll do everything I can since I don’t want to be the one who gets hurt again in the end.
