Chapter Seventy-seven
Maxine’s Point of View
“Haa,” I sighed.
I am now walking in the hallway and I couldn’t stop myself to sigh every time I think of what happened last night.
[Flashback]
“Am I… in your room?” I asked before I laid down again.
“Yeah,” he answered. “You want to go back to your room? I can still carry you.”
I shook my head which worsen my headache and dizziness. Damn it, I shouldn’t have shaken my head.
“No, I want to stay here.” I opened my eyes and looked at him, “Can’t I?”
He smirked, “You can.”
“Alyn…” I touched his face and stared at his lips, “You’re becoming more handsome to my eyes. You’re giving me butterflies and you makes my heart race. Just what… am I feeling?”
He shrugged. He tried to hide his smile but I still saw it, “I don’t know. How about you, do you know?”
I pouted and crossed my arms, “I don’t even know so I’m asking you! Would I ask if I knew? Tch.”
He giggled, “Belle might be mad at me tomorrow because you’re here at my room.”
“Huh?” I raised an eyebrow, “Who cares? I want to stay here. Let me stay here~” I said and hugged him. I sniffed his neck that made me smile, “You… smells nice, Alyn.”
He giggled, “Don’t sniff, it tickles.”
I kissed his neck, “Can we shower together?”
“W-What? No!” He refused quickly. Aw, it hurts. “Gosh, don’t make this hard for me…” he whispered. I don’t know who’s he talking.
“Why?” I showed him my face and made a sad face, “Come on, let’s go~” I pulled the blanket and that’s when I realized that he was topless. I smiled, “Wow, you really have a nice body. Can I touch it?”
His eyes widened and immediately covered his chest with the blanket, “No. Sleep already.”
“Ahh~ Why don’t you just want everything I want? Huwaaa~” I cried.
“Damn it,” he locked my face with his hand and wiped my tears. “S-Stop crying. Shh, please?”
“I-I-I want t-to touch it, huwaaa~” I said, still crying.
Why don’t he just let me? I just want to touch it. Huhu!
He took a deep breath, “Haa, fine. Stop crying first.”
I nodded and wiped my tears. After a few seconds, I calmed down. I stared at him and waited for him to give me a signal to touch his chest.
He averted his gaze, “You can touch it now.”
I smiled and removed the blanket. When I touched his chest, he flinched. Uh-huh? He’s cute.
“The end,” he said and covered himself again.
I pouted, “Do you like to touch mine, too?”
His eyes widened and continously shook his head, “No, no, no! No thanks. Sleep, let’s just sleep.”
“Alyn, let’s kiss.” I uttered. I touched his face and I was about to bring my face closer to kiss him when he suddenly averted his face from mine and removed my hand from his face. “What? What’s wrong?”
“You’re drunk… You’ll regret this when you woke up,” he answered.
My forehead furrowed, “Don’t make excuses, you just don’t want to kiss me.”
“No-” he didn’t finished what he was going to say when I cut him off.
“If you don’t want to kiss me, I’ll just ask Louis.” I rolled my eyes and was about to get up when he pulled me back and kissed me.
I closed my eyes and about to follow the movements of his lips when he suddenly parted. Damn it, what’s the matter now? Is that it?
“Let’s sleep, I kissed you already,” he said and closed his eyes.
Ahh~ why is it short?!
[End of Flashback]
Arg! So, embarrassing!
Why did I drink in the first place? I can’t even handle alcohol. Aish! What a headache. What should I do now? I can’t look at Alyn’s face again. Haa, please eat me now.
“What’s with your face?” Ferries and Angela appeared. Ferries chuckled, “So funny.” She said.
I sighed again, “What should I do?”
“Why? What happened?” Angela asked.
I sighed again, “Last night-”
I couldn’t continue what I was going to say when Ferries suddenly slapped my shoulder. I touched the part of my shoulder that has received a slapped from her.
What is her problem?! Doesn’t she know that it hurts?!
“Can you stop sighing? Goodness!” She said.
Angela laughed, “I think Maxine was startled.”
“Of course, I was! Who wouldn’t be if you suddenly slapped someone’s shoulder?” I responded quickly.
Ferries rolled her eyes, “Just tell us what you are thinking.”
“Yeah, what’s bugging you this morning? Is it about what happened yesterday? You know, in the rooftop~” Angela shrugged.
My face soured, “Shut it! I don’t need your help.” I said and walked away.
Why are they being friendly again? I haven’t agree to be their friend yet. Haa, forget it. I’m even more stressed about what happened last night.
○▪︎○▪︎○▪︎○ ▪︎○
While I was eating alone on the rooftop, I just thought about everything I havedone when I was with Alyn. Even though I don’t want to admit it to myself, it seems like that’s how I really feel for him. But what do I do? Lots of girls like him and he has a girlfriend. He is unlikely to like me either. Arg, what’s this? A one sided love?
How many times have I also denied to myself that I have feelings for him even though I already realize that. I just really don’t want to admit it because I can’t. We’ve been enemy since the beginning so who would have thought I’d like him? Then again, it seems like I’m the only one who feels this way about the two of us.
Gosh, what about Louis? Maybe I need to fix that with him. I’ll just say that I don’t like him anymore and I want someone else. Haa, but I don’t know if it’s right to do that. Aish, I don’t know!
I picked up my phone and messaged Louis that we would talk later when we got home. Just a few seconds passed and I received a reply from him.
“Okay,” he said.
Time flies and it’s time to go home. I was on my way to the locker room when I suddenly met Louis. He waved at me while smiling. I smiled at him too. He walked over to me and helped me carry my book. We took it to the locker and then we left immediately.
“What are we going to talk about?” He asked.
“Uhm, I’ll tell you later when we get home,” I replied.
“Why? Let’s talk about it here,” he said.
“Uh-uhm… there are a lot of people here, so let’s just talk about what I’m going to say at the mansion.” I replied.
I accelerated my walk because I suddenly felt nervous. What will I do? I don’t think I can do this.
“Wait,” he stopped me.
I turned to him, “W-Why?”
He approached me and touched my face, “Push me if you don’t want this,” he said and slowly brought his face closer to mine.
I looked around and saw many students looking at the two of us. My eyes widened when I saw one of those looking at us was Alyn. Damn, no, no, no!
Even before Louis’ lips landed on me, I immediately pushed him away. When I looked at Alyn’s position earlier, he was no longer there looking at us. He walked quickly in front of Louis and me as if he doesn’t care. He was with Belle and they were holding hands.
W-What should I-
I immediately chased after Alyn and touched the hem of his uniform causing him to stop walking.
He turned to me with a serious face, “Why?”
“Uhm…” Damn. What now?
“If you don’t have anything to say, you can go. Louis seems to be waiting for you,” he said and was about to turn his back on me when I tightened my grip on his uniform even more.
“A-Alyn…” Fuck. I don’t think I can say it. Belle is still next to him!Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Give me courage!
“Hey, we’re going somewhere so if you don’t have anything to say-” Belle hadn’t finished what she was going to say when I shouted.
“I like you!” I shouted.
There was a murmur around but I ignored it. I looked up and looked at Alyn who looked shocked at what I said.
“What did you say?” Belle asked.
“I-I like Alyn,” I replied.
Belle smirked, “Let’s go, Alyn.”
No!
I closed my eyes again and shouted, “I said, I like him! I like him! I like him!” I opened my eyes and looked at Alyn tearfully, “I… I like you, Alyn.”
