It was in front of us - Micah Bell

Envious are the Enraged

After a somewhat peaceful sleep, you found yourself awake on the bed with the soft covers sheltering you from the draft of the room.
Across from you was a sleeping and snoring Micah. He was sat slouched in the chair with his feet on a stool dead asleep. Silly fool was probably there all night.

You shook your head yet smiled at his considerate choice. As you stood, you crept over to the door and slipped out of it into the bathroom to quickly wash up.

Upon coming back, Micah was somehow still asleep. This came as a surprise as you knew he was a light sleeper.
You headed over to the mirror and fiddled with your dress and hair. Attempting to make yourself look somewhat presentable.

"Stop fussing you look fine." You heard a sleepy compliment come from behind.

"G'mornin' to you too." You chirped in reply as you turned to Micah.

Micah sat up fully and stretched himself out only to flinch and put a hand to his neck.
"Are you okay?" You asked, overly concerned at something so minor as you went over to him.

He winced as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just slept in a bad position probably."

"Well. There's a bed for a reason." You said as you folded your arms with sass.

"Yes, which you were in."
"Which you put me in." You argued with a smirk. You knew you fell asleep on the floor. Meaning he had to have put you in bed.
Micah smirked in defeat.

"Well excuse me for being a gentleman." Micah said as he threw his arms up and stood up out of the chair.

"Micah Bell? A gentlemen? Not possible." You teased him.

He chuckled as he fully stretched himself out and let out a yawn.
"You're funny. Real funny." He replied in that tone he used when he knew he was at a loss.

"Alright wise guy. I got a shift to attend to so, If you'd like to vacate." You said in an overly polite and sarcastic tone as you gestured towards the door.

"Kicking me out already? Some lady you are." Micah teased you as he was putting his boots and hat on, and grabbed his coat.

"Oh be quiet." You shushed him with a laugh as you closed the door once you'd both left the room.
You walked Micah back to the reception where a colleague of yours, Lilly greeted you with a grin from behind the counter.

You headed over to the counter as Micah drifted over to examine the notice board as he swung his coat over his shoulder.

"Looks like someone had a good night." Lilly attempted to tease but of course, she had read the situation completely wrong.

"Oh, it's not what it looks like! We just shared the room." You corrected her quietly as you leaned on the counter to secure the privacy of the conversation. You felt yourself blush slightly at the thought of what Lilly was implying.

"Well, If you don't want him, I'll certainly have him." Lilly said saucily as she looked over your shoulder at Micah and lightly licked her lips.

This, for some reason sparked something within you. Your mouth turned into a sarcastic and angry smile as you took a deep breath in and thought of a come back.
Now Lilly was beautiful. Like next level beautiful. And you knew for a fact she made her money through sleeping with men. Exactly what Micah would be down for. Only. You were certainly not down for that.

"I don't think he's interested." You lied.
She looked at you puzzled.

"What makes you say that?" She asked. Shit. Think (Y/N) think. You thought to yourself.
