I wake up without an alarm and stretch a little. I run my fingers through my hair, feeling a tug on my tummy as I move around. I forgot. Michael actually slept with me last night. I cant believe he is still sleep. The last thing I want is him right now. I peel his arm away from my body and take a long shower. As I am drying off, my phone rings.

E: Hello?

Rhonda: Hey Mrs. Jackson! How are you?

E: Im fine. How are you?

R: Just great. I know you just got done with that interview and you are probably very tired, but if you wanna come do some classes today...

E: Yeah sounds good. 

R: Wait, really?

E: Yeah. I need as much practice as possible so yeah I will come in.

R: Great! I will see you in a little bit. Bye.

E: Bye.

I hang the phone up and lotion up in the bathroom before wrapping a towel around my body and going back in our room. I look over at him sleeping peacefully and resist the urge to just go lay with him. I cant do that. I cant give him the satisfaction of knowing that he has a certain amount of control over me. If he wants to be bossy, fine, but he cant control how I feel and right now, I dont like him very much. I pull out an outfit from the closet and slip it on. I leave Michael behind in the bedroom and grab some fruit before heading to the talent agency with Kenny.

"Dont feel bad. I know how you are. He will survive." Kenny says, finally breaking the silence.

"I dont feel bad." I say blandly.

He gives me a look and I cross my arms.

"I dont like hurting people's feelings, even if they hurt me, but Im honestly not guilty about leaving him alone. He cant keep doing this to me expecting for me to come running back to him everytime. The late night cuddling isnt worth what he puts me through. I dont know how I deal with it..." I say, more to myself.

"That's marriage." Kenny says, shrugging.

"You're married. Tell me, would you ever do something like this to your wife?" I ask, knowing the answer. He looks down. "Right." I turn and look out of the window.

"Im not Michael Jackson." He says.

"Thank God." I mutter.

The driver parks in front of the building and I get out, Kenny following close behind me. Kenny's phone goes off as we get into Rhonda's office.

"Mrs. Jackson! You look beautiful." She says, smiling at me.

"Thanks. So what am I doing today?" I am not really in the mood.

Kenny answers his phone. "Hey Boss."

I roll my eyes as Rhonda takes me into the auditorium with Audrey. We do some exercises and Jason walks into the room smiling.

"Hello Mrs. Jackson." Jason says, bowing.

"Hello Jason." I say coldly.

Wow Michael has really put me in some mood today. His smile drops when he sees Im in a bad mood. Well, Im not in a bad mood, Im just not in the best mood. Im not gonna lash out on anyone because of what he did to me, but now I see that it wasnt such a good idea for me to work today...

"Okay here are your scripts. Be productive!" Audrey says, smiling and walking out of the auditorium.

We both read over them for a minute and I can feel Jason's eyes on me. I look up at him.
