Old Friend

-Chapter 2-

I must have dozed off waiting for Michael, because I awoke to the sound of my door bell, I knew it had to be him.

I hope I hadn't kept him waiting long, I thought to myself.

Hopping to my feet, I raked my fingers through my hair then threw it up into a bun.

Taking the stairs as quickly as I could without falling to my death before reaching the front door. Opening the door I was greeted by his back before he turned and flashed his warm, beautiful smile at me.

"Michael!" I shrieked jumping into his open arms, nearly knocking him backwards.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wound his around my waist.

"I missed you so much girl," he breathed into my hair.

"Oh Michael, I missed you too." I said, nuzzling his neck, inhaling his scent. He kissed my cheek before setting me back on my feet gently.

I decided to head back inside, picking up his bag he took my hand to follow me, but not before giving the O.K. to his waiting bodyguard.

Once inside, I took Michael's duffle bag into the guest room then headed back downstairs.

I entered the living room to find Michael poking around, looking through pictures, he straightened up, looking embarrassed.

"Would you like anything to drink, love?" I offered,

"Water's fine girl," he smiled making me tingle all over. I grabbed two bottled waters from the fridge and tossed him one.

Watching him cross the room, he turned on my stereo system, of course. Prince's 'Sex in the Summer' flowed from the speakers and it was my turn to be embarrased, Michael turned to me with a look on his face, a cross between amusement and hurt.

"I, uhh. That's my sister's tape." I stammered,

"Just hush it, girl," he drawled before laughing. I walked over to turn the stereo back off.
