The Rehearsal

Daddy Says

Michael POV

"Janet come here" I yelled from across the room.
"Yes Michael" she said running to me.

"I'm glad you came here today. How do you think my dancers look for this tour?"

"They look great maybe they can teach my girls something" I giggled as the dancers laughed.

"So this is my dancer Sunny" I said introducing Janet.

"Hi Janet, I love you" Sunny said excited. "Hi, love you too" Janet said smiling from ear to ear.

"I didn't just invite you here to lallygag with Chris. I invited you because Sunny wants to battle you" I said raising my eyebrows and crossing my arms.

Janet playfully looked Sunny up and down.
"You want the smoke" Janet asked getting closer to Sunny.

Everybody laughed but Sunny, you could tell she was holding in her laugh.

"Janet I've been practicing for this my whole life."
"Give 'em some space" I demanded as we all backed up leaving space for them to dance.

"Give me something mellow" Janet demanded me. I nodded my head and put on That's the way love goes.

Janet started dancing while everybody watched. Everyone applauded her once she finished. "Not bad" I said as she gave me the finger.

Sunny went in and ended with a split. "Janet can you do that" I asked teasing her.

The two went back and forth till the song ended. They were both sweaty and out of breath. "Good job" Janet said reaching her hand out to Sunny.

She smiled before grabbing Janet's hand.
"Okay guys we survived the last rehearsal!!" My dancers started jumping making noises.

Janet watched them in laughter. I walked up to her while they were all distracted.

"Soo where did you go all that time today?"
She ignored me for a second. "I know you can hear me" I said nudging her.

"I had a important phone call I had to take care of. I told you I have a performance coming up" she said before walking away.

"So you didn't see Chris at all when you left. You guys came back together." I said following her.

"Michael please" she stopped her feet getting loud. Some of the dancers looked at us.

"I'm not having this conversation with you" she said storming out of the rehearsal. I didn't chase after her because this was me and my dancers time to celebrate.

Janet POV

All I could do was laugh once I got home. It's funny how this all came full circle, Chris and I. It was fun hiding from Michael too. Chris almost got us caught but it was fun, liked it, I like him.

"Fuck I miss him" I said out loud while I fell onto my couch. I sat there calling his number.

"Hello" he said. I sat there quiet and nervous.
"Hellooo!?"

"It's me" I said softly.
"Oh hey Janet, are you still at the rehearsal?"

"No, I'm home now. And I was thinking about you— so you called" he said cutting me off.

"I miss hearing your voice" he said, I could hear his car in the background. "So how have you been since we last spoke, anything new?"

"Busy working I got a show coming up sooo I've been working on that recently. How bout you" I asked him curling my hair.

"Um working, the same shit noting new. I really care about you. I think this time we should take it slow you know. I don't want to hurt you, I only want you to be happy."

Hearing those words come out of his mouth made my heart melt.

"Listen I can't wait to touch you again, what you doing right now?"

I bit my lips thinking about him. "I'm on the couch in nothing but a T shirt."

"Mmm, good. Let's play Daddy says. Are you down?" I nodded my head "mmhhm."

"Okay Daddy says open the door for me cause I'm outside." My heart dropped once he said that.

"Are you coming to the door Janet? That's not how the game works" he chuckled.

"Are you really here" I asked looking at the door.

"Daddy says open the door."

I slowly walked to the door feeling my heart race.
"Are you there" I could still hear Chris on the phone.

I slowly turned the door nob and opened the door to see Chris on the other side. My face lit up with his as I dropped the phone from my hands.

"Oh my god your gorgeous" he said before I embraced him with my arms. "Hey I know it's been awhile but my feelings for you never changed" he said before kissing the top of my head.

"Me neither" I said looking up at him blushing.

"Are you going to let Daddy inside?"

I nodded my head and slowly opened the door as we walked in holding hands.
