Michael's POV/Narration
December 30, 1988: 5:00pm
~In The Studio~
Michelle: "Daddy?", she said walking towards me.
Michael: "Yes Michelle", I said crouching down to her.
Michelle: "Are you okay?"
Michael: "Yeah, I'm fine Michelle", I sighed. Just then Alexander walked in.
Alexander: "Hey. There you are. I've been looking all over for you"
Michael: "Hey Alex", I said getting up and walking towards him.
Michelle: "Uncle!", she said running to him.
Alexander: "Hey Michelle!", he said picking her up. "How you been?"
Michelle: "Good", she smiled.
Alexander: "Cool", he smiled. "Hey Mike, you okay?"
Michael: "Yeah, I'm fine", I sighed and walked to the piano.
Alexander: "You sure? You want to talk about it?"
Michael: "Um.... Sure, I guess"
So we both sat on the couch that's in the studio, with Michelle on Alex's lap, and just talked for a while.
Alexander: "So. Um.... I heard you had an argument with María"
Michael: "Yeah", I sighed. "I really regret it. Our marriage was going so well and then this mishap happen and..... And I just want to apologize to her.... And tell her how much she means to me", I said tearing up and covering my face.
Alexander: "Come on Mike, it's alright", he said putting his hand on my shoulder. "You know, I talked to María earlier today. What to know what she said?"
Michael: "Mmm Hmm", I nodded.
Alexander: "She said she needed some space, you know like just stay away for a while but you know what? I know my sister and I know she really loves you and the kids. I've never seen my sister this in love before like she is with you. The first time she told us about you and my Dad told her that she couldn't see you anymore, she ran to her room and started crying. She really does love and care about you and I see you love and care about her too"
Michael: "Well, I do. Very much. I will always love her and my children"
Alexander: "That's what I like to hear. You really are a nice person. Hey, have you picked out a song to perform for María yet?"
Michael: "No..... Well, I can't really decide between..... 'Human Nature', 'For All Time', or a song I sang when I was a child called 'Who's Lovin' You'", I said getting up and going over to the piano.
Alexander: "Hmmm..... Which do you think María would like?"
Michael: "Um... I don't know. She loves all my songs"
Alexander: "Well, how about you Michelle", he said looking down at Michelle on his lap. "Which song do you like?"
Michelle: "Umm.... Can you sing them Daddy?"
Alexander: "Yeah, sing them Daddy", he chuckled.
Michael: "Well alright. I'll sing for you Michelle. Alex, don't start", I chuckled & got my microphone set up. "I'll sing one small part of each song and you guys tell me which one you like"
Michelle: "Okay", she smiled.
Alexander: "Sure"
I took a deep breath, put my fedora on and started to sing when the music started.
Michael: 🎶Looking out across the night time. City winks a sleepless eye. Here her voice, shake my window. Sweet seducing sighs. Get me out into the night time. Four walls won't hold me tonight. If this town is just a apple then let a take a bite if they say why, why, tell them that is Human Nature. Why, why, I like living this way. I love this way. If they why, why, tell them that is Human Nature🎶
Alexander: "I like this one. This song is one of my favorites"
Michelle: "I love it Daddy!", she smiled. "It's my favorite too"
Michael: "Well, I'm glad you guys like it", I chuckled & blushed. "Now here's the next song"
The music starts, I started to sing.
Michael: 🎶Sun comes up on this new morning. Shift and shadows a song bird sings. And if these words could keep you happy, I'd do anything. And if you feel alone, I'll be your shoulder, with a tender touch you know so well. Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters. Baby, who can really tell when two hearts belong so well. And maybe the walls will tumble and the sun may refuse to shine. But when I say I love you, baby you got to know that's For All Time. Baby you got to know that's For All Time🎶
When I stopped singing and opened up my eyes, I saw Alexander in awe.
Michael: "So, what you think?", I chuckled.
Alexander: "What do I think? Your amazing. This is the song you should sing for María. It has that message of how you would love that special someone for all time"
Michael: "That's--- that's right", I smiled. "So, it's official. This is the song I'll be singing for María. But if you see her before she comes or when she comes, don't tell her about it. I want this to be a very very special surprise"
Alexander: "You can count on me Mike"
Michael: "Michelle. Don't tell Mommy anything about my surprise, alright?"
Michelle: "Okay Daddy"
Michael: "Promise?"
Michelle: "Promise", she smiled.
Alexander: "Alright. So let's go and set everything up", he said getting up and heading Michelle to me. I took Michelle in my arms and walked to setting up the surprise.
