One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

#####Chapter Ninety

Byron’s Point of View

I went to the dentist. I laid down in the dental chair while the Ms. Dentist was doing something with her equipment. Maybe she’s readying them.

That James, he’s been bothering me for 2 weeks now. I think he lost his mind. The fuck is he saying that he likes me? We’re both guys, and on top of that, I’m straight! He has gone mad.

The dentist approached me, “Okay, open up.”

I took a deep breath, “Fuck. I don’t know where to start. I’m thinking that he has gone mad but I think I’m the one who will lose my sanity here. One day, I went to the bar and met him there for the first time after so long. I got drunk and you know what happened? Damn it. He bottoms me! I’m staring for fuck’s sake! He’s my childhood best friend, how can he do that to me? I like girls, I like to fuck girls! And in just one day, I was fucked by my guy friend! Then, he’s been bothering me for weeks now after confessing to me that he likes me. Damn, what should I do?”

“Oh, uhm…” the dentist scratched her head and looked away. “I mean, open your mouth, sir, not literally open up.”

My eyes widened and realized what I have done. Oh, shit!

I sat down, “Damn it! Whatever, I’ll just go home.”

I took off the gown and the headdress before I left the Dental Clinic quickly.

Damn, that’s so… embarrassing! I forgot that I went to the dentist and not a therapist. Shoot. It’s James’ fault!

I heaved a sigh. I was about to open the door of my car when someone’s hand stopped the door. The fuck? I turned to that person, and I immediately backed away when I saw James.

“What now?!” I asked, obviously irritated.

He sighed, “I’m just here to fetch you.”

“Who are you? My driver? Step away from my car,” I said.

“Don’t wanna,” he smirked. “Let’s eat lunch together.”

“Damn it, James. Really, this is not funny. If you’re joking right now, please… enough already, okay? It’s not funny and… and I don’t like it,” I uttered.

He titled his head, “I’m fucking serious, Byron. I know that you won’t believe me right now but I know someday… You will accept my feelings.”

My brows furrowed, “Fuck off! Accept your feelings, my ass. I won’t! I wouldn’t dare!”

I pushed him and immediately opened the door then went inside. I started the engine and drove away instantly.

Maxine’s Point of View

We were about to enter the cafeteria when we suddenly bumped into Ferries.

“What took you guys so long?” She rolled her eyes, “I have been waiting. I thought you wouldn’t come.”

“We-” Angela couldn’t continue what she was going to say when someone suddenly cut her off.

“Oh, look who’s here~” yeah, that was none other than Elaine.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Ferries raised an eyebrow before she tilted her head to look behind us, “Huh? What is that girl doing here?”

I turned around and looked at Elaine. She walked closer to us while her arms were crossed over her chest.

“How’s my best friend?” Elaine smiled at Ferries, “Oh, right. We’re not anymore. Best friends don’t steal a boyfriend, right?”

Ferries’ lips twitched, “Sorry, miss, but I don’t think I know you. Are you lost? Or… Do I look like someone you know?”

Elaine’s smile faded. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling. I know that she’s trying to piss Elaine, that’s why it’s funny.

“You don’t even recognize your best friend anymore?” Elaine snigger.

Ferries shrugged, “Like you said, we’re not best friends anymore. You’re from the past, I already forgot about you. And I know Alyn’s feelings are the same- he had forgotten about you, not only that, I’m certain that his feelings changed too.”

“You…” Elaine put down her hands on her side and clenched her fist.

RING! RING!

“Come on, guys, the class is starting,” Ferries said and led the way. While me and Angela just followed her.

“You’re cool!” Angela complimented Ferries.

I chuckled, “Thanks,” I said.

I wanted to thank them for what they did. I didn’t know that a time like this would come. You know, defending each other.

Ferries suddenly stopped walking and turned around. She just stared at me for a moment then rolled her eyes. Laten on, she turned around again and walked away.

What was that? That startled me, huh.

“Pfft~” Angela giggled, “Don’t mind her. She’s just shy.”

“S-She is?” I followed Ferries with my gaze.

Angela nodded, “Yeah… Hmm, let’s go?”

I nodded at her and we started to walk again.

[Evening @Mansion]

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw GH standing at the door while his both hands were at his back.

Did he just arrive? Why didn’t he text me or even call me?

I smiled as I walked towards him. When I saw him smile, I waved my hand. Right, he still doesn’t know about the problem between Alyn and me and I hope he won’t find out.

“Did you study well?” He asked when I got closer. He patted my head.

I nodded, “Yes, GH.”

“Let’s go inside,” he said.

“You waited for me?” I asked when I realized that he invited me inside after I approached him. Won’t he wait for his grandsons?

He turned to me and smiled, “Yes, because you have visitors.”

I stopped. Visitors… “Don’t tell me…”

“I’m sorry. I said they should wait until you’re ready but they insisted on meeting you straight away,” GH shook his head with disappointment.

I licked my lip, “It’s okay, GH. Uhm… Actually, I’m ready any time. I just waited for you to come back.”

Lies.

He smiled, “Really? I’m glad you’re not mad at me. Let’s go? They’re waiting in the dining room.”

I just nodded. We started to walk again and went straight to the dining room. I didn’t change my clothes anymore.

When we entered the dining room, I was stunned.

Wait… There were three of them and they looked familiar to me. I’m positive that I saw them somewhere already but I can’t… Oh, in a magazine!

“I-Is she the one?” The woman in her 40’s stood up with teary eyes.

GH nodded. He tapped my back, “They’re your family, Max.”

“Max? Is that her name?” The man in his 50’s asked, still sitting.

GH nodded again, “Yes.” He turned to me, “Greet them, Max.”

“Oh, uh!” Damn. I almost forgot. I bowed my head, “H-Hello, I’m Maxine Wards. It’s nice to finally meet you.” After that, I stood up properly.

“Go sit there,” GH said. “I’ll leave you for a moment so you can talk,” then he turned away.

When GH left the dining room, I walked towards them and sat on one of the seats.

The woman sat too and smiled, “Your last name is Wertheimer now. Actually, the name we have given to you is MacKenzie- MacKenzie Wertheimer. However, I think we are okay with Maxine, right?” She looked at her husband.

The man nodded, “Yes. The first name is not important, the last name is.”

“Is she my sister?” The boy asked. I smiled at him.

“Yes, darling,” the mother caressed her son’s hair. “She’s your sister Maxine.”

“Are you… uhm, really my family?” I asked while playing with my fingers under the table.

I can’t believe it because I saw them in the magazine, so I think they are a well-known family in the country. One more thing, they are obviously wearing designer clothes.

The man nodded, “Yeah. We forgot to introduce ourselves, pardon us. I’m Thomas Wertheimer, your father. Next to me is your mother, Tori Wertheimer. And next to her is your younger brother, Jimmy Wertheimer.”

“Oh… N-Nice to meet you,” I uttered.

The mother giggled, “You don’t have to be uncomfortable. We’re your family, Max.”

“Let’s get to the point,” the father interrupted. “We came here to get you, daughter.”
