In the late-night, Micah twisted and turned, he couldn't get to sleep as Electra's loud moans broke through the silence of the hall. She was in Mason's room right now and making too much noise at 3 am.

He groaned as his eyes burned from not being able to fall asleep. He grabbed his pillow and smacked his head with it, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't block out the noise.

He flipped around in his covers one more time before he decided that there was no way he was going to sleep and might as well just stay awake. He sat up and rubbed his eyes before staring into the darkness. He got his phone from the side and started going on it.

He could hear Electra's voice loud and clear from down the hall, as she was begging insanely. It got more disturbing, making Micah rub his temples as he desperately wanted to go to sleep and forget about all this since it broke back so many bad memories.

He then heard some footsteps pattering outside as some shadows passed the bottom of his door.

"That's it, I've had enough," he heard Makayla say.

He decided to get up and see what was going on. He opened his door and Makayla and Mylah were stood outside Mason's door, in their pajamas and hair bonnets. They had their arms on their hip as their eyes narrowed bullets into the door. Makayla looked like she was ready to kill someone, while Mylah looked more than ready to fall asleep on the floor.

Makayla began banging on the door with both of her fists. "Hey! Cut it out! Some of us are trying to sleep here!"

"Makayla go to bed," Mason said.

She took a step back, her eyes became wide-eyed as she placed both of her palms against her chest, feeling totally insulted. At that moment, all she wanted was to kick the door down.

"How can he tell me to go to bed when he's the reason I can't even go to sleep!" She screamed in frustration, "urgh he's so annoying!" She stormed around. She didn't have any time for this, she was exhausted, and hearing Electra's voice made her feel nauseous in her sleep.

She eventually came back to the door and her fingers lightly tapped on the wood, thinking of what to do next.

"I'm so tempted just to burst in there, but I'm not ready to get traumatized," Makayla said to her sister.

"I wish mom and dad's bedroom was on this floor, so Mommy can drag Electra out and throw her into the pool to sleep there," Mylah said, as she slumped onto the ground.

"Me too." Makayla sat next to her as they stared dead at the floor as the sounds of the forbidden went on.

Micah watched them the whole time but started to get a little hungry. So he went downstairs and made himself a sandwich with some water.

When he went back up, his two sisters were still opposite Mason's door, looking like the homeless and as grumpy as ever.

"I don't even understand why she making so much noise, Mason should've put a gag in her mouth because she clearly doesn't even know how to moan properly, sounding like some dying whale crying for help," Makayla ranted, making Mylah laugh a little.

"It's not even sexy it's just cringe, lil Miss mayonnaise screaming like a banshee in there, I bet it's all performance because there's no way Mason's annoying ass will be able to satisfy anyone," Makayla said firmly.

Micah burst out laughing as he struggled to drink his water. Everything she was saying was true and that made it so much funnier. Suddenly, this night wasn't so bad if she was going to keep roasting Mason.

"You know what, Mylah go get your microphone, we gonna put a stop to this."

Mylah quickly ran to her room and brought out a karaoke microphone which had speakers around. Makayla brought out her phone as Micah watched intensely to see what they were gonna do.

Makayla connected her phone to the microphone and began playing Can You Feel The Love Tonight. She stood up and Mylah leaned on her arm. They both sang loud and clear, making sure to go right up to Mason's door so he can hear everything uncomfortably.

Now Micah was more interested in where this was going than in his food. Even if he couldn't sleep, at least there was some entertainment despite everything that was going on.

"And can you feel the love tonight!" Makayla sang out loud at the top of her voice. It was very off-key and the microphone amplified it, making anyone want to rip their ears off and ruin moods, which were evident by the low grumbling coming from the bedroom.

"It is where we are!" Mylah sang like she was at the opera.

"It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer that we got this far..." she said and increased the volume.

Micah could tell it was working because he kept hearing Mason grumble as if he wanted to come out and tell them off.

"AND CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT!" Makayla screamed and jumped around. Mylah joined in and now they were prancing around while making random noises.

Eventually, the moaning stopped. They were all relieved and then Micah went to bed in peace.

****

When morning came, Micah came out of his bedroom, yawning. He only managed to gain a little bit of sleep but with some coffee, it should due him until he comes home from work.

He got out his key and began locking his bedroom door for precautions. Meanwhile, Mason came out of his room with a t-shirt and boxers. His eyes were slightly blurry as stumbled around.

"Micah, what are you doing?" Mason croaked.

"Locking my door," Micah said without facing him."

"Why man? I'm not even going to go in there."

"I know," Micah said as he made sure it was extra tight.

"Just in case." He took the key out and placed it in his pocket. After all, he didn't want history repeating itself.

"Just in case what? You think I'll do the same to Mariana in there?" Mason smirked.

Micah looked at him cautiously, his eyes darkening. He didn't know what's exactly he was thinking, but he didn't want to know so as not to get upset.

"Mariana is so beautiful..." Mason said, walking around Micah, his tone was coarse and had a hint of lust to it.

"I would love to have that girl's cute, little ass sitting on my lap, which definitely deserves a good spanking. I'll spank her so hard till she's red and squealing like a dirty pig. Then I pull her over the kitchen table by that scruffy, slutty hair of hers, making her bend over to my will and—"

Without thinking, Micah pounced onto his brother, pushing him to the ground. He started punching his face like rocks pouring out of a volcano. The way he sexualized Mariana infuriated him, which came out in the fury swipes of his punches. He talked as if she was just some piece of meat or disposable toy, but she was so much more than that, and to hear his own brother dehumanize her just made him want to rip his face apart.

He could talk like that about Electra since that was exactly what she was—a dirty hoe—but not his Mariana. No, his Mariana was way too valuable for those words to even come to mind when thinking about her.

"Micah! I was joking!" Mason cried out, desperate for him to stop, but Micah wasn't listening. He continued hitting his face but even harder so that it felt like boulders were falling onto Mason. This way he'll know never to mess with Mariana. He could have Electra all he wanted, but Mariana was his and off-limits.

"Micah stop! I swear I was joking!" Mason managed to push Micah off and then pinned him down. Micah tried grabbing his face and kicked him, determined to finish what he started, but Mason was a little stronger and grabbed his arms in mid-air.

Micah still tried to fight back but since he couldn't move his hands anymore, he eventually calmed down and ran out of steam.

"I was just joking Micah to see your reaction. Don't worry, I'm not going to touch her." He chuckled and got up. Micah was panting and blew hot air out as Mason was at the stairs.

Micah picked himself up. He was exhausted from the fight but one thing he knew is that Mariana was anything but easy.

He then went downstairs and into the kitchen. Makayla was hogging the fruit loops and poured almost everything into her bowl. Mylah tried snatching it off her but it was out of her reach.

"Give it to me Makayla!" She cried out and tried jumping for it.

"Leave me alone!" Makayla said, pushing her away. She was unbelievably cranky from last night and the lack of sleep.

"My my, what's all fighting about," Electra said, coming in wearing a rose gold light jacket and a pencil skirt. She had on pink lipstick and brushed out any wrinkles. She sat down on a barstool, having her head held high and lips puckered out like she was entitled to everything.

"You need to take a chill pill," she said to Makayla and tutted at her like she was a stubborn, little toddler that needed to be told off.

"Why is this little girl talking? Shut up!" Makayla screamed and threw the box at her. Seeing Electra was just enough to make her lost it this morning.

"Makayla, stop it!" Mason shouted at her and moved Electra out of the way before the box could hit her.

Makayla kissed her teeth, resembling their mother, and then poured some milk into her bowl, muttering something.

"Pick me, choose me, love me, daddy, love me!" She mocked Electra in a high-pitched voice and added some moans to it.

"I don't sound like that!" Electra screeched dramatically like a crazy, cat lady.

"Psh. Yeah, you do," Makayla said and walked out with Mylah.

Electra rolled her eyes before smiling like she was up to something. "Anyway, I know someone who will appreciate my sexy voice." Electra smirked and skipped over to Micah, her flowery scent leavings trail. She tried hugging him but got shoved away.

"Get off me Electra!" Micah held her arms before she could touch him and shoved her away.

"Stay away from me." He kissed his teeth in annoyance and went to get some cereal.

They all went to the dining room and sat down. Aidan was busy reading something while Crystal was eating her breakfast in peace.

Before Electra came and sat down, Makayla quickly put some very sharp nails around the only available chair. She giggled and quickly went back to her seat to eat her cereal, not sounding suspicious at all.

Soon, Electra came sauntering in quietly. She had her head down as she tried not to make any noise, except the quiet clatter of her baby pink heels.

When she got to the table, there was only one seat left which was next to Makayla. She smiled like she was a bright light and approached it.

Makayla couldn't stop giggling as Electra sat down comfortably. It was only a matter of seconds before she leaped out of her seat, grabbing her ass as her scream ripped through the peaceful silence. She began jumping all over the place as if someone had set her on fire.

"What's with all the noise?" Crystal said in agitation.

"My ass!" Electra screeched in pain.

"What's wrong with it Electra?" Mason asked as he smirked.

"I feel like I sat on something sharp," she said, picking off one nail from the material.

"Good," Makayla snickered.

Electra quickly took her plate with teary eyes and went to sit somewhere else feeling dejected.

When they were all done, they went outside and into separate cars. Micah hopped in his with Anthony and they started driving towards his restaurant.
