Trouble

2.

I threw myself down on my bed and sighed but jumped in panic when I heard Micah say, "Why didn't you tell me you were fucking Marvin?" Being too shocked and confused myself I couldn't even answer. "Cat got your tongue? Or does Marvin still have it?" He mocked. I shook my head while looking at him in disbelief. How could he think that I would keep something like this from him? "You disgust me, what the fuck were you thinking? Marvin has a girlfriend, a pregnant girlfriend London-Rae." He screamed at me.

"What the fuck was I thinking? What the fuck are you thinking?" I hissed at him not caring to hide the fact that I am hurt by his choice of words. "Im not fucking Marvin," I whispered. He started to say something but I screamed telling him to leave. He had really hurt my feelings telling me I disgust him.

Micah's P.O.V

I know I really fucked up. I shouldn't have told Dior'Rae that she disgusts me, I'm just angry because I thought she tells me everything. No I don't like her as more than a friend, I love her like a little sister. She's been my bestfriend from I was 7 and she was 5, her family had just moved in the neighborhood and my mom thought it would be courteous to introduce ourselves so we went to the bakery and bought some macadamia and chocolate chip cookies. My mom thought it would be best if we waited until my dad reached home at 5 to visit the new neighbors.

We went to their house and I rang the door bell and stood beside my mom. A girl with dark curly hair that passed her shoulders answered the door, her almond-shaped eyes a piercing dark brown looked so sad but she smiled and shouted "Daddy, we got company,". I smiled when she said, "Cookies ? Thanks, I'll take those," right then a tall man stood beside her.

"Hi, I'm Micah, and this is my mom and dad Chasity and Roland Riley. We came to welcome you guys into the neighborhood," I said being mannerly.

"Hey, I'm Di'Mani Marley and this is my baby Dior'Rae, I believe I know your daddy," he said stepping aside to let us in. Following him to the living room everyone had seated as he raised his voice saying, "Baby, the neighbors are here."

Dior'Rae ate a cookie while staring at us and looked to my mom saying, "You're beautiful."

My mom blushed and said, "Thanks, you're gorgeous yourself." And Dior'Rae conceitedly said she knows. Just then a really pretty pregnant lady sat on DiMani's lap, she looked like an older version of Dior'Rae.

"This is my beautiful wife Tahiry, our son is not here for you to meet him, probably next time," he said matter-of-factly before he continued saying, "I didn't think one of my employees would be my welcoming neighbor".

Dio'Rae got up and seperated herself from everyone and her parents explained that she wasnt very social and she was being distant because she misses her brother. Looking at her I could tell that she wasn't happy. She sat drawing in her sketch pad looking really upset so I went up to her and made conversation.

"Im an artist too," I said awkwardly.

"Let me guess, you came over here because I look sad and you wanna know what's going on with me," she started before giving me a pointed look and continuing, "I don't need fixing. I'm fine Mikey."

"Micah, the name's Micah," I said annoyed that she wasn't even gonna pretend to be nice and try to talk to me and she got my name wrong.

Shaking her head she said, "Don't be such a girl, if you're gonna be coming around, Im gonna call you Mikey and you're gonna answer. Be glad that I'm actually talking to you and like you enough to give you a nickname"

A grin immediately broke out on my face. "I like you too Rae," I told her.

"Come on Micah, I gotta get dinner started," my mom said from across the room.
