Breaking Habits

Chapter 5- Micah-Handshake

The party happening in my house wakes me and I don't have the energy to get pissed. Lisa is using my house again.

I've gotten used to it. Every year on carnival day, she charges people to use her bathroom and mine. I don't mind her using my place but things would be so much better between us if she lets me know beforehand.

Carnival runs three days over the weekend, and the last two nights was crazy. Nothing was off limit. Women, food, drinks. I was drunk as shit this morning and passed out before I could even undress myself, so tonight I'll go easy.

Reaching across the bed, I get my phone to check the messages and there's nothing significant. Sev and the others should arrive soon so I go for a shower.

While I shower, the music goes up by decibels and as I get dress, random whoops and cheers rings out. Curious, I don't bother to put on a shirt, I tuck it in my back pocket then head downstairs to find out what's happening.

From the top of the stairs, I already see there are too many people in my house. Several are crowding the front door and my friend has just arrived. They don't see and go the hallway so I go downstairs to follow them.

When I get in the hallway, the women gathered cheer as hands begin to touch me in places where they shouldn't. In no mood to play, I wade through them with my hands in the air.

"Not even my mother touches me there," I say to a woman covered in glitter. She pouts and I smile then she gives me the call me signal.

Afterwards, cold hands grasps my hips. It makes me turn to see who they belong to and when I do, white wings entraps me.

"Hello Micah--long-time no see."

My senses stops when I realize it's Beth, then when they kick-start, they zone in on her shaking hands. It making me wonder why she's nervous.

Dropping mine to her shoulders, I brace her away. I haven't seen her since the grand opening. Back then she looked stunning, she's sexy as fuck tonight.

Her necklace keeps my eyes intact. Like a channel, the gold runs between her tight high breasts, down her tone torso to wraps around her narrow waistline. The pendant and charms has all the colours of green in the jewels. It's giving off a mythical vibe.

The colour of her hair has changed again. A greying black silver-do that matches her glittery eyes. The wavy length falls halfway down her sexy lithe body that's barely covered by her lingerie costume.

She's wearing my cameo jacket too and she looks hot in my clothes. The urge to draw her to me is overwhelming but I keep control.

"You're staring again, Micah."

"I can say the same thing about you Beth," I reply steering her back into the kitchen.

Lisa and few neighbours are lounging in here, and I turn my attention to them.

"You better be over in the morning to clear up. I swear one of these days I'm gonna get you locked up for pulling this shit. You're responsible for any damages done to my place-"

"Micah, don't get mad, I promise I'll split whatever I make with you."

Raising one brow I say, "it better be higher percentage too. Now if you don't mind. I'd like to use my kitchen." She doesn't move straight away, so I yell, "Get out, Lisa!"

She pokes out her tongue at me as she rushes out with the others, and as soon as they shut the door, I look back at Beth wondering when my hands drop from her shoulders to her hips.
