Michael

The Next Morning

Michael woke up the next morning, remembering what happened the night before, he smiled to himself and rolled over. Only he rolled over to an empty bed. He sat up immediately in confusion.

'Did I do something?' He thought to himself getting slowly out of the bed and reaching for his glasses.

He walked up the three small stairs that led to the sitting area of the hotel room. Thinking Mika would be sitting there he was left with disappointment. He carried on to the bathroom. Still no Mika.

Struck by confusion and sadness, Michael hopped in the shower, got himself ready, and walked towards the door to leave. He slowly turned around hoping to see Mika, but no. Michael stepped into the hallway only to run into Fortune.

"Hey Michael! How are you?" Fortune asked Michael with a huge grin on his face.

"A little hungover and tired," Michael simply replied without a crack of a smile. Fortunes instantly dropped.

"Did something happen?" Fortune looked confused at Michael's sadness.

"I don't know.." Michael's sentence trailed off as he slowly walked towards the elevator with Fortune chasing after him.

"He's at an interview you know? He didn't tell you before he left?"

Michael turned around slowly confused, "interview? A job interview?"

"Well it's for his "job.""

Michael was confused.

"Do you not know who he is Michael?" Fortune smiled reappeared as he said this.

Michael still confused, " i need to get going Fortune. It was nice seeing you again."

Michael got into the elevator leaving a confused Fortune by himself.

'Do you not know who he is?' Michael repeated Fortunes question to himself.
Michael grabbed his phone to Google Mika, but soon noticed that his phone was dead. "Shit," he said aloud to himself. He placed his phone back in his pocket as he stepped out of the elevator.

As Michael entered the front door of his house he was greeted with the smiles and laughter of his beautiful children. "Daddy!" he heard from the voices of Aria and Lizzy as they jumped into his arms.

"Oh my girls!" he said in excitement as he carried his two little girls to the living room where he collapsed on the couch with them.

Michael fell asleep with his two little girls for three hours. Luckily he had Fitz there to help him out with the other kids. When he woke up his two little girls were off playing outside while his boys were sitting near him on the other couch playing their xbox.

"So where were you?" Jacob asked his father.

"Out," Michael replied.

"Out?" Josiah questioned.

"Yes. Out," Michael smiled as he stood up. "Did you finish your homework and chores?" Michael's quickly changed the subject as all of their eyes darted to the ground. Michael walked over to the tv and turned it off. "Homework. Chores. Now." The boys quickly scattered off.
