My Break of Dawn

Pursue Me

'Sefy what're you talking about'? Issie replied. ' what in god's heaven is Michael Jackson'?
'I said you were hanging with Michael Jackson girl this is his contact card and signature! You ain't have a look'?
'Wait omg isnt he Michael Joseph Jackson'?! Alena exclaimed. 'Issie you hang with Michael and you didn't realize'?
'Momma was right. How on gods earth did I not realize? Let me see the card Sefy'.
With that she took the card and saw the initials and signature of a man she had adored her whole life together with him number on the card, she was a little confused and more annoyed but Alena and Sefy were literally carrying on about how this was their chance to hang with the most famous man on the planet. Issie however wasn't too thrilled as she didn't know what to even make of the situation.
'You guys if Michael wants to hang does that mean I'm gonna have to go to neverland and deal with all his press bullshit'?
'Who cares about the press baby he's literally invited you I don't think it's that deep. He probably just wants to be friends'. Alena replied
'Well I don't know if I wanna go to never-land or be his friend. I know I've idolized him all my life but this is a bit different. I can't believe y'all don't seem to realize my privacy might fly out of the window if I start hanging with him and the press catches a whiff of it'. Issie replied
Her besties thought otherwise and she argued with them late into the night.
'Michael is gonna protect you Issie how many of his relationships has the public heard off ? I think you're taking this too far. Go and see him tomorrow girl we need tea!!', Alena said
'Y'all I need to go to bed, use Briana's bed she's not coming
in a few weeks I need to recover from today's events goodnight'.
With that she left them in the hall and left to bed. All she could think of was how she had just left a relationship and landed the king of pop someway somehow.
'Could it be my star doing this? Cos I'm not ready'. She turned off her lamp and drifted into sleep.

The weather the following morning seemed windy and cloudy, Issie was still drained from the previous day and wasn't up but Alena was, preparing breakfast for them. She heard the doorbell ring and had to go and get it.
She opened the door and standing in front of her was a muscular man, 6'7 tall wearing dark shades.
'Hello I'm looking for Issie, is she here?'
'You could start by introducing you you know. Who are you by the way?',Alena asked.
'Sorry ma'am I'm Bill, I've been sent here by Joseph. He says Issie knows him and who he is'.
Alena at that point knew that was Michael Jackson's body guard and she literally wanted to scream but she was gonna keep her cool and ask the right questions because she didn't want to come off as crazy.
'How did Joseph find her apartment? Or he followed her here yesterday? Anyways she's still not up what's up'
'Alright ma'am. Please tell her Mr. Jackson would like to hear from her before the day ends. Thank you'
With that he turned to leave but Alena stopped him in his tracks
'Did you mean Michael Jackson?'
'Yes ma'am '.
Alena slammed the door and woke everyone up and forgot about the bread in the toaster. She ran straight to Issie's bedroom and pulled her duvet.
'Alena what is it I'm tryna sleep', Issie said with her eyes closed
'Michael's body guard just left and he asked that you call Michael right away', she said with glee
'Okay can I go back to bed Alz',?
'Issie??why are you calling me that you know I hate that name ugh. Bye'.
Alena banged the door after her and Issie giggled to herself as she reached for the purse to take the card
'What does he want from me? I have literally nothing to offer- she thought to herself. She picked up her phone and dialed the number and it was answered on the first ring.
'Joseph?'
'Hey Issie', Joseph replied
'What's up ? Apparently you were at my house a few minutes ago'.
'Yeah I wanted to see your beautiful face again, I guess you're playing hard to get'
'Haha I was asleep Joseph. How did you find my house ? You followed me or something?'
'I had bill follow you home yesterday to make sure you were safe'
' oh——-'
'I know you have a lot of questions and I know I have a lot of explaining to do——I want to see you again. Before I go on my next tour'
'You know this is a lot of information to process right? Plus why were you being a waiter?'
'When can I see you? You'd know the answers to all of these'
'I don't know'
'I'll come get you on Thursday at 8pm, get ready. Bye'
'Hey what makes you think ——
And with that he hang up. Issie walked to the hall to talk to her best friends and met someone she least expected
Her boss was there with Alena and sefy smiling sheepishly.
'Alena your boss has some good news', sefy said
'Hi ma'am how can I help you please?'
'Issie Mr. Jackson has asked that we relieve you of your duties as he has employed you to be his personal assistant now. I personally came here to inform you of that and also to hand to you your pay for the rest of the year. It was nice working with you. Another time'.
She handed over the documents and salary to a surprised and dumbfounded Issie and left the house. Alena and sefy were excited over the thought of Issie becoming Michael's personal assistant. Issie on the other hand was fuming inside.
