Chapter 5

                                    

                                              
Ding, Dong!
                          
  I groaned while lifting my slumped figure from the loveseat. Ding, Dong! I brushed my hand over my eyes tiredly. "MR. EVANS! LUCI!" I hear Smitch otherwise known as Mitch and Mitchy calling. Mitchy being the newspaper boy and also the cousin of my girl.
                          
  Stumbling out of bed i make my way to the front door. When I open it I am affronted by a hug from Smitch. His hug was so tight I felt like I was suffocating. "Let go of me you bag of oats." I commanded. 
                          
  Mitch was the touchiest fellow I'd ever known which made somewhat irritating to be around, but his Childlike personality made it impossible to stay mad at him for very long. Even if he just wake me up from my peaceful slumber. 
                          
  "No way. When I didn't see you out here this morning I thought you might have died or something. I called Sage and everything." He muttered. This boy, I swear. I had made it a habit of being out here in mornings before he delivered my paper. One because I considered myself a morning person. Two because I didn't want a certain neighbour to steal it from me.
                          
  "Well it's clear that I'm alright, so just let go." I said pushing him away from me. 
                          
  "Yeah. I guess. Anyway I've got your mail. I had to fight of that batty neighbour of yours just to get to your door here." he said, quietly handing over my mail. I sighed as I read them. Bills. If I didn't finish writing my book soon, it was going to be a while before I could pay them. 
                          
     "Thanks, man. I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked turning to go back in the house.
                          
     "You know it." Mitch said walking back to his bike. 
                          
      "By the way," He said. " Sage will be here in ten. So good luck."
                          
  I nodded my head and turned back to the house before his words registered in my mind. Sage will be here in ten. Running to go take a quick shower, while shoving things in various drawers and cupboards. Now clean I shoved my slick, wet hair back hearing the faint sound of a car door closing. 
                          
  Peeking through the almost dusty blinds making a mental note to clean soon, I see my beautiful Sage waving a cab off. Subconsciously running my fingers through my dark hair and down my face, I feel the subtle pricks of hair protruding from my face. I hope Sage doesn't mind... Frowning to myself, nearly getting lost in my thoughts, but faint knocks on the door were brought to my attention.
                          
  "Hello Sa-!" I started as I opened the door only to be slapped.
                          
  "You stupid idiot!"  She wailed before slamming into me and sobbing hysterically into my chest. "I thought you were dead! Mitchy called and gave me a real scare. Why weren't you outside to get the mail? Do you know how worried I was?" She questioned angry again. Women. 
                          
  "Sage, my beautiful Sage. Do you really think I could just leave my girl?" I asked. "I fell asleep early in the morning. My new neighbours are frat boys and they had a big party and blasted music into the early hours. They even tried to kidnap Mr. Meowgi." I explained, leading her to the living room and taking her coat.
                          
  "Now dry those big green eyes, doll. I'm still here." I murmured into her hair as she curled up into my side on the couch.
                          
   "Lucifer, I was just so afraid. Now, tell me all about these neighbours of yours." She sighed back.
                          
  "Well, there are four boys, who seemed to be the ring leaders of everything that happened at the party. There was only one that I like, he had bright red hair. Such a sweet kid really. Even called me cute. The other ones though are just demons. One even tried to tie Mr.Meowgi to the ceiling like a pinata and then chased me with a mob all the way to my front door." I sighed. I still didn't understand why they felt the need to do that.
