The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Round it up to a thousand

Looking at Michael squared in his face, Elijah couldn’t stop himself from glaring at him with his hard and narrowed eyes and said, “It wouldn’t be necessary coming back here… You heard Peach, didn’t you? Didn’t you pick up the word, ‘Never,’ in what she said?” 

His voice was so venomous and it sent chills through Michael’s body. But he remained strong even though Elijah wasn’t making it easy on him. When they were close enough, Elijah leaned in and lowered his voice, glaring into Michael’s eyes and whispering threateningly in his ear, “Showing up in someone’s face that doesn’t want you to is call harassment, and do you know what happened to people who don’t know how to take a hint, huh?” 

Chills ran through Michael’s body, and he felt Elijah’s warm breath hit his ears as he spoke, and he could feel goosebumps rising on his skin. ‘Why does he have such an aura…?!’ Michael thought, feeling frozen and helpless against his intense and dangerous presence, but didn’t want to show any weakness, so he clenched his jaw and glared harshly at Elijah with his eyes, and retorted fiercely, “Well, who are you to stop me from pursuing a single woman?” 

Looking at the calling card in Micheal’s hands, Elijah frowned, reaching for it, and Michael did not dare move back as Elijah slowly took it out of his hand and then said, “Because she’s already taken.” The motel was silent once Elijah finished speaking. A shocked silence spread across the lobby as the words sank in. 

Then Miss Grace’s eyes grew wide, confused and slightly annoyed at Elijah’s words, but she was too stunt to say anything. A look of shock crossed Michael’s face as he swallowed down thickly, and then his cocky thoughts awakened and he chuckled humorlessly. 

“It’s true, isn’t it? You are a lowlife goldbrick who feeds off the wealth of women… Woo, woo, Woo!” He started cackling loudly and laughed maniacally. “Are you even a man if a woman is spoon feeding you like some sort of fucking leech?!” “You! You! Shut up! You don’t know what you are talking about!!” James yelled at Michael. “Oh yeah? Then tell me what you know that I don’t know?!” Michael retorted, folding his arms across his chest and glowering, looking directly into James’ eyes. “Who are you again?” 

When James didn’t respond because he didn’t want to overstep Elijah’s authority, Michael scoffed and then let out, “Peach needs a real man… A man that will shower her with gifts, take her on fancy dinners, make her presentable in the eyes of others…” 

he met Miss Grace’s eyes and wanting to remind her of the difference between Elijah and him, he uttered, “And, not someone like you to drag her into your struggle and have her suffer, just because you happen to have an obsession with her…

Then, Miss Grace finally broke the spell with a sigh, and then she frowned as she asked, “What do you think you are doing?” “Maybe it’s best if you have a talk with your daughter and based on her words, we can have this conversation later,” Elijah said, his tone taking a humble approach. After giving her a weak smile, he walked past her, heading out
