Mika's World

Chapter 5: Galaxies and Golf

"Jesus I can't even hit the damn ball!" Nathan yells and throws his hockey club to the ground. "Your form is terrible dumbass", Jenifer remarks while sitting next to me. We were at Top Golf and Nathan hasn't gotten any strokes in a hole. Or whatever the point of this game is. "Jenny, suck my dick," Nathan said and picks up his coke from the table. "It's not big enough honey. If I wanted a tic-tac, I'd go to the store," she snapped back. Nathan waved his hands in the air sarcastically and gave her the finger. "Just date already", Troye said rolling his eyes and taking his turn. He had the highest score so far. He swings with a heavy twist and makes another hole. "At this point you're cheating", I joke. Troye puts his golf club back and winks at me. "You're sus dude", Nathan said while fake yawning. I glared at him and then at Troye and walked away from our area. I head into the bathroom and rubbed on my face. Calm down. Breathe. Because I will beat the shit out of him. I look in the mirror and see Motiv standing behind me next to one of the stalls. I turn around and I see no one there. I look back at the mirror and Motiv is closer behind me and licks my neck. I shudder and jump when I hear the door open and see Troye enter. When I look around me, Motiv had vanished. "You know Nate is just joking, he's being irritating as always", Troye said and pats me on the back. I grimace. "It might be a joke for you. Asswholes like him in school always try to say slick shit like that and think it's okay", I snapped and dry off my hands. "You really think I would be hanging out with him if he was homophobic? It was a bad joke Mika", Troye explained. "Whatever. I'm cool I just had to breathe", I say reluctantly. "I'll talk to him okay?", Troye said and puts his hand on my shoulder. It felt warm warm and soft. He had on a tight black t shirt and some ripped jeans. He was always trying to flex and had a stupid man bun in his hair. I smirked and signaled him to leave. I looked at myself in the mirror for a moment. The same hoodie and sweat pants combo. "You need to switch it up", I heard Motiv's voice say. I spun around to see where he was, but saw no one.
We sit at a table eating cheesesteaks and sandwiches. I sat next to Troye while Jenifer and Nathan sat together. Jenifer was very pretty. She had her blonde hair in point tail and wore a pink tank top with grey leggings on. Nathan always had a stupid grin on his face. He wore a blue button up shirt with bowling shorts. His chestnut hair was in sort of a bowl cut. Hideous as always. "Mika you should come out with us more often," Jenifer said while taking a sip of her drink. "That's a thought", I respond bitterly. "Maybe we could catch a scary flick at the movies", I suggest. "They're so corny and not all that scary. Let's go see a marvel movie, I loved endgame", Nathan whines. "No, I want to go to the pool, I bought a new bikini and I'm ready to get in the water", Jenifer added. "If Dalia is going to be there, I'll definitely be at the pool", Troye says with flirty eyes. They start going on and on about plans and friends and blah blah blah. I sat next to the window of the booth we were sitting at and stare out the window. I feel my eyes getting heavy and my head get fuzzy. I close my eyes for a moment and when I open them, everyone from the booth is gone. I look around and see no one around at any booths. I turn to the window and gasp. I was floating in space. Looking down at the earth.
           My heart starts to race and I call out for anyone. I then hear a knock at the window. I turn and see Motiv levitating behind the glass. "This is not the time for all this", I say banging on the glass. He laughs at me. "It's not my fault we keep meeting in the strangest places", Motiv said. "I'm serious, where did my friends go?" I ask impatiently. He shrugs and points down to earth. "How do I get back there?" I ask. "However you got here", Motiv said and smiles. "You're an ass you know that. Quit being cryptic", I demanded. He stares at me for a second then observes what's around me. He then placed both his hands on the glass. After a few moments, the glass shatters causing the rest to do the same. I duck under the table to block the impact. I climb from under the booth and see him standing on the table. Green and all. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yell. "You always speak to me like I hold all the answers",  Motiv said hopping down from the table. "Maybe you should find the answers from within. I can only offer you pleasure", he continues as he hovers over me. "As much as I would like to take you up on that offer, I'm busy right now", I say taking a step back from him. "Fine, then I'll leave you with a parting gift", Motiv said. He leans in and kisses me passionately. I felt is tongue having a field day in my mouth. It felt exhilarating. I pushed him away and wiped my mouth. Motiv then lifts his hand up and in his palm forms a a blue crystal. "What're you doing?"  I asked. "It's your parting gift, the kiss was for me", He explains. The crystal shoots towards me and explodes; sending me flying back. I hit the ground hard and stagger to get up. What the hell?  Motiv forms at least a dozen more crystals. "Let's see if I can send you home", he adds grimly. They shoot straight at me and I begin to run.
          "Mika!!! Mika wait stop running!!!!", I hear Troye screaming behind me as I run out of Top Golf into the parking lot. I trip in the street and fall, smashing my chin. "Jesus you good?!" Troye asks and helps me up. I snatch away from him and feel my chin. It was bleeding a little bit. "What the fuck were you running away from? You leave the booth and book it? What the hell was that about?" Troye said shooting questions at me. "I'll get a ride home, just go back inside", I tell him. It started to pour outside and I struggled keep my phone from slipping out of my hand. "Mika I'll take you home just wait a second!" Troye yelled and tried to take my phone. I push him away and point to the front doors. "Go back in and have fun with them", I said trying to catch my breath. "For fucks sake Mika!!! Why are you acting like this?!" Troye screams. "I can't be around you! I can't be around anyone! I can't focus! I can't stay in one place! You do not keep me grounded! So go back in there with your fake ass friends and...and...be presen- oh god" I shout out with tears streaming from my eyes. "Mika calm down come back inside with m-"Hello Manny! Please come pick me up. I'm at Top Golf" I cut Troye off and answer the phone. "You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Troye yells. He balls his fist up, hesistates, then heads back inside. Manny pulls up to get me 20 minutes later.
           I didn't talk the whole ride home. I was cold and wet. And frankly embarrassed. He parked in front of my house and I just sat there for a moment. "So you want to talk about it?" Manny asked scratching his head. I stared at him for a moment. He wore a dark blue jacket and his hair was slightly wet from the rain. "No", I said and with that I climb on top of him and kiss him. Manny grips my thighs and embraces me back. This is what I wanted in this moment. I started to unzip his pants and pull off my sweats. "Wait are you sure you want to do this? You seem vulnera-ahhhh shit" Manny exclaims. "Well I already put it in" I said and we start to undress each other.
