Come Together

Chapter 19 : Tatiana Meets Michael

Roberta's POV
I woke up to warm kisses and hugs. Why.. I really don't know but I knew who they were coming from. I turned to see Michael with a smirk on his face... I swear this clown right here.
Me: good morning babe
Michael: good morning love.
Me: are you having fun?
Michael: yeah I'm enjoying myself.
Me:of course you are haha.
Michael: yeah I guess so. I hope Tatiana is OK about today. What was her reaction when you told her about us working together.
Me: she'll do fine. She is accustomed to working with celebrities. It's just you though... Like she is a big fan of you and your work. So working with you is like the biggest accomplishment she has ever came across of. When I told her she screamed to the top of her lungs. I could've sworn I was deaf for a moment. She is really excited though. I need to go talk to her though.
Michael: wow I'm honored to know that I can make someone else's dream come true. I should've been here for that reaction. Go talk to her I'll be right here when you get back.
Me: OK will do.
I got up and brushed my teeth and washed my face and put my hair in a ponytail and went to go to the guest room that tati was in. When I got there she was watching TV. So I thought to go talk to my best friend.
Me: hey girl how are you doing
Tati : hey girl. I'm doing well. How about you.
Me: that's good I'm doing good. Are you ready for today.
Tati : yeah I'm excited. I really can't wait. It's been a while since I saw him. I wonder if he sounds the same.
Me: I bet and he is still the same Michael just a little bit lighter due to his disease. Listen I have a personal question to ask and I want to know if I can ask it and will you answer.
Tati : I can't wait to see him. Yeah girl ask me the question.
Me: OK so last night you had a nightmare and I came and woke you up and you went back to sleep. However the things you were saying sounded like you were going back in time to when you were little. My question to you is what went wrong when you were younger. I understand if you don't want to talk about it but I would want to know. Believe me if you do tell me it's kept with me lock and key to grave. I promise.
Tati : sigh... Well because we've been friends since we were elementary school. I trust you. OK so when I was little and living in New York my parents put me in ballet school. They made me work really hard and didn't take no bs. However when things weren't going right they would have fights and my dad would get drunk and he would become abusive then he would sometime hit me and my mom. It was days where he would make me rehearse for hours on in. He was so hard on me and as I got older I would often lash out on him and tell him things like I'm going to quit dancing and modeling or I don't want to do this anymore. Sometimes he would have a change of heart and tell me don't quit or how sorry he is. I left when I got of age and I never looked back. I continue something that he didn't like me to do and now look where I am today. I'm in a beautiful house with my best friend and her fiance who happens to be the worlds biggest superstar. I am blessed.
Me: wow I didn't know you went through all of this. You never told anybody not even Malissa. The fact that it still haunts you is quite disturbing because that's not fair. You should be able to have a sweet dream just like everybody else. You are my best friend and you are blessed.
Tati: sometimes I have peaceful dreams its just I remember my dad telling me that nobody is going to like me and nobody is going to recognize my talent. Then I started to think about how many people I've came across and how many photoshoots I've done and how many runways I've done then I thought about the fact today I get to meet the biggest superstar in music history. I also get to work with him. So as far as I'm concerned nobody can tell me what I can and can't do. Haha.
Me: that's right. Never let anyone tell you differently if they haven't tried it yet.
Tati: there you said it. So what's the agenda?
Me: first we eat, then exercise, then you will get pick up to go to the set for you to meet Michael. But I don't see what's the pain if you met him Now .
Tati: that's nice but I'm freaking out. What are you talking about
Me: I mean it isn't like he is chilling in my bedroom.
Tati: girl you going to make me go into cardiac arrest in this house. Stop playing with me
Me: so what. I'll be the one reviving you and no I'm not playing I'll be back.
Tati: girl stop playing with me so you're saying he is in your house?
Me: that's exactly what I'm saying because you totally forgot that he is my fiance haha
Tati: oh yeah duhh. OK wait let me do my hygiene then I guess I'll take a peek at him.
Me: girl you're silly.
After I left her I went in my room and I wished I had a camera because this sight was too funny. Michael was sitting up on my bed with his eyes closed and his hair around the pillow. He was snoring slightly. I died and he didn't hear me. They weren't lying when they said he sleeps hard as hell. I put on some comfortable clothes and meet Tatiana .
