It's Either You Or No One

When jasmine checked back at the wall clock, it's already past eight. She's been trying to reach her granddaughters since an hour plus, but yet none of them picked up the calls. Infact, they turned off their phones, which made jasmine became more worried. Her hair by now is now a total mess like she was struck by an electric. Hmm, yeah. Maybe electrocuted. Frustration has a lot to do with that. I guess. She grabbed the second iPhone 14 which her son, Justin, had bought for her few weeks ago before leaving for L.A, from the glass center table. At once within a blink of an eye, she began dialing her son's number.

Stacey is beautiful

The quintuplets apartment

At the rooftop

The way he kept staring at his sister's best friend made her felt uncomfortable with the environment and wanna switch seats with his sister.

Winston observed her behaviors and timid body languages. He knew he shouldn't be staring and glaring at his sister's best friend like that. Damn it's kinda awkward.

It makes her feel like he is gonna strip her clothes off with those captivating eyes of his.

They're supposed to be revising and studying. Yes that's why Stacey came over to see Britney at her place for the first time. They're both study-mates which made her choose Britney as a good study partner ever since she took the library so serious because of her new guardian angel Bernard.

While the three handsome hunks and two sisters are busy with their crafts, the book on Stacey's lap accidentally fell on the tiled floor as a result of her inconvenience with the atmosphere around her.

Everyone stopped what they were doing at once. The hit of it on the cold tiled floor, made a medium sound because of the serene environment which drew the attention of them all.

At once, they turned their gaze at Britney and Stacey.

"Umm...I-- I'll just have to pick it up." Stacey quickly picked up the big book which looks like a dictionary from the ground and placed it on her lap again.

Britney scrunched her brows quizzically after noticing the unstoppable snugs her best friend is doing towards her. "Are you alright?" She asked.

Stacey stopped leaning and raised her brows, "Say what?" She chuckled sarcastically, "Oh yeah, of course I'm good."

Britney smiled at her one more time before shrinking into her book.

Stacey bit her lower lip and whispered silently to herself. "How weird." She is supposed to be studying with her best friend, what is this awkward moment around her and why is this guy staring at her like she has did something crazy long time ago?

According to Britney's quotes, she said, 'Don't think of falling for my brothers or liking any of them or hanging out with them. They're womanizers and are very good at tasting women and dumping them after. If you fall victim of that circumstance, consider yourself out of our bestie friendship. Because I won't want to mingle with a girl who went behind my back sleeping with my brothers.'

Yikes! It's quite brutal. Britney is just trying to help and protect her best friend from falling into the hungry lion's den, right?

If by chance Stacey seem to be a partaker, though she haven't come in contact with them but if it seem so someday, she'll have to dash off before her heart betrays her. She is not ready to lose her one and only best friend.

Oh God, there again. The staring continues. Now she is finding it very difficult to concentrate on the main purpose why she came here. But this weird guy just keep getting on her nerves.

Winston on the other hand, couldn't help neither could he lie. He has no reasons why his eyeballs keeps ditching at her. He is fully aware girls of his college knows him as a professional womanizer and sly kick. So what's the use of staring at his sister's best friend as if he likes her or what? She should probably be aware by now that he is just a jerk.

Stacey lowered her head to her book. She don't want to glare at him or get carried away by his handsome gaze. She knows he just wanna have her on his bed, misuse her body and dump her the next moment, but she? To hell with him! She is not ready to join that league.

After a little while, her heart whispered to her saying; 'Come on Stacey, look up. Maybe the weird guy has stopped staring.' And Stacey obeyed and she lifted her eyes up.

Her eyes locked with his at the moment their eyes met. Stacey is battling with a really hard time of cutting off her gaze from his but Winston isn't. Infact, he is liking the moment of sharing eye contact.

Her book fell again for the second time. "Oh shit!" She cursed as she bend down to pick it up.

Everyone stared at her. She felt uncomfortable and quickly stood up.

When she began packing all her things, Britney frowned, "Are you leaving right now?"

Shoving them into her bag, Stacey volubly answered without sparing a glance on anyone, "Y-Yes, I really have to go right now. Certain things just occurred and they need my attention. I just remembered."

She sounded like she's troubled. Her words wobbled in her mouth and Britney could tell that nothing was fine with her.

Britney tried to stop her, "But-it's just past five. Stay a little longer. I'll-"

Placing the bag's handle on her shoulder, "I'm really sorry Britney, we can study at the school's library tomorrow. I gat to go now." Without waiting for Britney's reply, Stacey dashed out immediately.

"Sta-" Britney seized the rest of her words when Stacey was out of sight.

What do you expect Britney? She really had to go rather than witnessing your brother staring at her like a big pervert.

Britney took a deep breath to compose herself. She guess her bestie just had something out of the blue which she urgently need to take care of.

Less beside that, her way seem so awkward. Well, maybe it's the way she thinks. Stacey barely behaves immature.

Kingston stretched his long legs and flashed his brows with a wide dunche smile on his lips. "Wow Britney, your friend seem to be immature in midst of boys."

"Isn't she?" Princeton mocked.

"Oh please stop it!" Britney yelled angrily. She won't stand her naughty brothers speak ill-mannered of her best friend. Not once.

"She is beautiful." Winston spoke. Alright he just wrecked the teasing moment of his two brothers and now, they're staring at him with amusement.

Britney chilled down and sat on her seat peacefully. That's more like a compliment and exactly what those first two should have said. Rather than teasing innocent Stacey.

"Can you guys please keep it down a bit? I need serenity for my revision." Whitney hesitated.

"Seriously Britney, Stacey is beautiful." Winston killed the bird again.

Britney puts down her pen and puffed her chins. She looked at him and snapped, "Okay, will you at least do me a favor by not mastering my best friend's name? You know, it'll really do us good. All of us."

"How?" Princeton frowned.

"By not pulling out our legs from the carpet. Technically by not touching her as you always do with other women." When the three guys scrunched their eyebrows, she stood up, pack up her things and walked out.

Whitney quietly sneered at her retrieving back and continued revising.
