Michael

Fuck!! I never knew she could do that! That was like some private show shit.

I had to play it cool because we had an audience. Every move was precised and well performed. You could think she's a professional dancer.

She bit her lower lip looking into my eyes with a weird expression in her eyes that I knew too well. You know the kind of look a woman gives you when she's needy. Yeah that one. And I have no fucking clue of how she learned that but I hope she knows what she's doing.

I smiled and placed my hands on her waist low enough but not touching her ass

"I had no idea you were this talented." I said with a smirk

She chuckled at my remark

"Yeah, I can do much more than I take credit for." She replied.

"Who taught you that?" I asked curiously

"Who taught me what?" She asked, her eyebrows scrunched in confusion

"That look you gave me earlier." I explained

"Oh that." She said in recognition. "It came naturally." She replied nonchalantly

"Don't ever do that to a man again. That's so wrong." I said causing her to laugh.

"Was it too much or..."

"No." I replied with a grin as I tightened grip on her "You were perfect." I replied reassuringly as my right hand caressed her delicately from her jawline down to her collar bone which was a little prominent due to her slim figure. I came to discover that I loved that particular aspect of her however. I mean, each time my eyes land there I have this sudden irrevocable craving to kiss there.

A moment passed by and we remained silent for the most part. Just consumed in each other's company, our breaths against each other's face till Julian ruined it.

"OK you 2. Times up. " He said standing up and we immediately broke apart. "Now that was intense."

I looked at him with a grimace "what? You wanted it intense so we gave it to you."

"Yeah, right. You guys would probably give a show had I not interrupted." He replied contorting his face in fake disgust.

I rolled my eyes standing up, placed my hand on the small of Aisha's back and directed her back to our seats.

After the game was done, we dispersed again into small groups discussing about random things. Mora had stolen Aisha away from me again. I was currently seated on the sofa, discussing with Nathan

"Damn!! That girl was out for you. She totally wanted you to come undone." He said.

"Yeah. You were not the only one surprised. I was the person watching the performance remember." I said

"Man!! You've got the self control of a deity. I mean, I for one know I won't be able to keep up that long." He said

I laughed knowing that will be so Nathan. He totally would have taken onto the invitation her body language and facial expressions gave off whether done knowingly or not. Don't get me wrong, Nate has never and will never be forceful on a woman. Fun is, he doesn't have to because most give in with their full consent. I can recall one of his hilarious conquest that went wrong: the girl was a little psychotic and she almost raped the poor guy as he says. She was so insistent- 'she almost break his boner' as he put it. The girl had follow him round town watching him, watching the women he interacted with. She had gone as far as placing cameras in his bathroom and room. He had filed a restraint order and moved into his present house. He had said he had go easy on women but of course he couldn't keep to that being the man whore he is.

"Everyone's totally shipping you two." He said out of the blue

"What?!" I was totally stunned out of it by his statement.

He laughed at my confused state

"Oh c'mon. The chemistry between you two is so tangible. Everyone could feel it."

"Nonsense." I laughed

"Really now? You're in denial so it means it's true. You're totally into that girl."

"Look. She's hot OK. It's normal to look dazed with what she did or to stare back when she walks by. I'm only human." I retorted

"Yeah and she's the only woman who gets under your skin." He said with a smirk. "Look OK yes you don't feel anything other than friendship now but you're getting pass that. You don't choose the way you feel for some people you know."

"I know where you're heading to and I'm stopping you right there. I'm not developing any feelings what so ever towards her." I said sounding a little defensive.

"OK." He raised his hands in mock surrender. "If you say so bro. But think about it."

It can't be possible, right? I can't be falling for her. I don't believe in love and it's a pretty odd feeling though. He's wrong that's not what's happening with me.

"Michael!!!!!"

I heard an angry female voice scream not far from me. Of course I just had to be Molly.

"What the fuck where you doing with that bitch?!" She asked infuriated.

"Molly what's this about again?" I asked bored

"Good luck bro." Nate said walking away

"Don't play with me Michael. I'm mad out of my mind that I would tear down this house if you don't fucking tell me who that stupid hoe is and why she was all over you like some bitch stripper trying to jump on your boner." She sneered.

My eyes widened in realization at the person she was referring to.

"Your vocabulary is pretty color for someone like you." I replied sarcastically

"Stop joking around with me. You can't go round and about with any woman knowing you're mine." She roared drawing attention to us

Typical Molly Sanders for you. Always ready to dish out drama.

"Gimme your left hand." I said.

She stilled at my request so I took her hand anyway and placed my left hand by hers.

"Do you see any ring there?" I asked

Her mouth set in a thin line as she glared at me.

"Exactly we're bound by nothing. I owe you nothing. Get over the fact that we can't and won't be together. I'm fucking sick of your unreasonable temper tantrums." I said walking away.

"Michael! don't walk out of me I ain't done talking to you." Molly shouted

"JD." Aisha met me half way thankfully.

"Let's go." I said grabbing her arm

"Ahh. Hollup. Did something happen? And let go you're hurting me."

I was so angry I totally forgot I was holding her.

"Sorry did I hurt you?" I asked worriedly

"No it would leave a few red lines but it will be fine. What's wrong?" She asked

"Nothing it's...

" so you're with her still. " I heard molly sneer behind me.

Aisha cocked her head to the side to see who was talking.

"You." She said angrily, pointing at Aisha.

"Yeah Molly you too. We've had enough of your drama." Nate came between us. "Sorry but I'll have to ask you to leave I don't need any uproar because of your childish acts." He said

She hissed shooting daggers at us with a hard glare.

"You guys are losers anyway." She said before leaving

"Thank you man." I said

"It's nothing. I couldn't leave Aphrodite and Ares get petrified in Medusa's hands." I laughed at his choice of word for Molly.

"It was about time." Nicole exclaimed.

Then a couple of yeah was said before anyone else returned to their previous acts.

"Are your reunions always this eventful?" She asked sarcastically

I chuckled replying. "No usually. Maybe it's all thanks to you."

She snickered rolling her eyes.

The night went on with no other drama and it was time for us to return.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" She asked during the ride back.

It was the weekend but I still had a couple of things to do at work

"I'll be at work." I replied.

"Work? On a weekend? If you're so cramped up by work why don't you take an assistant?" She asked

"I've got you already remember?" I said playfully

"I'm serious here Michael. And I didn't study business so that cancels me out." She deadpanned. Sighing in resignation, she continued. "I'm just looking at what's best for you. You could get sick with the amount of stress levels you get." She replied worriedly.

She was right...

"OK. I'll think about it." I said with a grin.

She's so precious. Always thinking about others. And I think at that moment, something changed between us.
