Just You And Me (A Michael Jackson Story)

Chapter 51: I'm Tired

Michael's Point of View

"Daddy?" Sarah says "Can we go to the Zoo today??" She begs...

"Uhh..Sure honey, Let me just talk with your mommy about it.."

I go into the kitchen where Charlotte is cooking breakfast...

"Honey?" I ask "Can I take Sarah to the Zoo today, if you don't mind"

"Yeah, I don't mind...I wanted to take Daryl to the park anyways..."

"Alright, then it's settled...Can you give me a kiss goodbye though?" I whine with puppy eyes..

Charlotte sighs and then she comes up to me and kisses me..

"Sarah, Come here and say goodbye to your mommy.." I say..

Sarah comes running in a few moments later "Goodbye, Mommy..."

"Goodbye, baby...Promise me you are gonna have fun with your daddy, okay?"

"Alright, Mommy!!...I love you"

"I love you too.."

I kiss Charlotte and Daryl goodbye and I get Sarah set up in the car so we could go to the Zoo...

*At The Zoo*

"Daddy?" Sarah says as she holds my hand as we look at the Penguins "Can I tell you something?'

"Sure, Sweetie..Anything.." I say smiling

"Why was Mommy and Cameron cuddling yesterday while me and Daryl were playing with Chelsea's house??"

"I-I don't know, sweetie...I didn't even know about that.."

I don't think I heard Sarah good enough, she said Charlotte and Cameron were cuddling yesterday while they were playing with Chelsea?..Nah uh, that can't be right...Charlotte doesn't like Cameron like that, she has always told me she liked him as a friend, nothing more, nothing else..I think I have to have a serious conversation with her...

*Back At Home*

"We need to talk.." I say hanging up my coat and Sarah goes in the house and runs upstairs...

"Uhh..Hello honey, it's nice seeing you again...Wouldn't that be nice to say?"

"Enough with the games...Why the hell did Sarah tell me that yesterday when you dropped her and Daryl off at Cameron's house, that you and him were cuddling or some shit, huh?"

"Cuddling? Me and Cameron?..." She says..and then she face palms her face..She finally came to her senses "Sarah thought it all wrong, all damn wrong...I wasn't cuddling with him...I just layed my head on his shoulder and then out of nowhere, he wrapped his arm around my waist, I didn't mind so I ignored it...The only reason I layed my head on his shoulder was just as friends..You know I don't like Cameron like that, you know me and him are sort of best friends..."

"Well," I say with sympathy "I consider that as cuddling, but the thing that makes my blood boil even more is, that you didn't freaking tell me and instead I had to hear it from my own daughter..."

"Don't you remember what happened yesterday?..I fucking saved your life and this is how you repay me? You repay me by blaming shit on me again like you always do?..You gotta be freaking kidding me right now, Michael..."

Charlotte leaves the living room and I am sitting there...She said she laid her head on his shoulder...and he wrapped his arm around her waist...That's cuddling for me.
