SIXTEEN

Michael

Tiana surprising me at this charity event was more than enough to let me know that she was the one for me. I've been with plenty of women but none has shown up for me the way Tiana did yesterday. It felt good being able to show her off to the world. I didn't care how many pictures were taken and who seen them, I wanted people to know she was my lady.

Dinner with her was good as well. We had great conversations with one another and we've gotten to know each other even more. I can tell when she's upset, happy or really excited about something. I've learned her body language and everything. Being away from her for just about two months will kill me.

The two of us having busy schedules these few months will be hard but I'm sure it'll bring us close together once we're reunited. Of course pictures of us together were in the newspapers and journalists are ringing the phone off the hook trying to get an interview out of me. I've declined every one especially after what happened on LNS. I don't have time for interviews anyway, I have so much work to do even though my album is already out.

I have five more short films to shoot, two commercials, and many more events to show up for. That's not even including the tour I have to plan and put together. I never have time for myself or to breathe but it comes with the job. My first short film, Remember the time, was very successful and I'm proud of that.

I wasn't able to see Tiana before she boarded her plane but it's fine, at least I got to see her last night. Taylor and Denis has teased me so much since I told them about Tiana and I being together. They think I've fell head over heels for her which isn't fully true. It's not like I'm deeply in love, I just like her a lot.

"Have you seen the paper this morning?" Denis asks as he runs into my office and shoves a newspaper in my hands.

"Come on Denis, not now. I'm busy with some paper work right now." I said as I sat aside the newspaper and tried to straighten out my desk.

"It's you and Tiana, the world is going nuts!" Denis said. "Even talking about it on the news!"

"I don't care what they say about it, I wanted the world to know about Tiana anyway." I shrugged. I wanted to change the subject but it seemed like Denis had other thoughts.

"My phone has been ringing all morning, people wanting to interview you—"

"Hopefully you haven't accepted anything." I gave him a look as I stood up from my desk and straightened my shirt.

"Well no, but I should have! This is great."

"No, it's not great. I want to talk about my music and my films not my girlfriend." I said as I walked away from him. He followed closely behind, still trying to convince me.

"Could you listen for one second?" Denis said and I stopped in my tracks.

"Look, I'm super busy right now. I have so many things to do today and I'm not worried about taking interviews." I told him and he put his hands up in defeat.

"Fine, let's just get you to wardrobe for this commercial." He says as he shakes his head and walks ahead of me. I don't understand why he's upset, I should be the one mad. People want to know the wrong things about my life and it's frustrating.

After arriving on set, I was immediately pulled into wardrobe. I changed into an all black out fit then went to hair and makeup. First, they started on my hair. It was styled to my liking, even though I had to fix it a little bit on my own. Afterwards, I went to makeup.

"Oh Michael you look wonderful." Karen, my makeup artist, said as she put the finishing touches on my face.

"Thanks." I said dryly. I didn't mean to come off rude but sometimes she didn't know her place as an employee. She would always find a way to touch me, even if she's not doing makeup. Whether it was a touch on the shoulder or in my hair, she always found a way. It was annoying after a while but I've assumed that's just her personality.
