1988
Michelle is now a very popular and trusted photographer of the stars. She has worked hard to get where she is and built a reputation of creating the best photos ever. All the stars want her, demand her. She has toured with Madonna, Prince and many others. Sharon was her trusted assistant and ran her office efficiently with just the two of them no matter how busy they got. Both ladies had boy friends, but never let them get far aas they could not forget their true loves, Michael and Marlon. A heart knows even if the mind doesn’t want to admit it.
Jackie: MICHELLE!! OMG!! Michelle it is you!!! He walks over and hugs her.
Michelle: JACKIE!! OMG!! It’s so good to see you!! How have you been?
Jackie: Good, good, married with children, you?
Michelle: Good, doing well, and no to bother. Looking away sadly.
Jackie” You’re not married? No boyfriend? Nothing? Why?
Michelle: Shaking my head trying to keep the tears from spilling over. No boyfriend, too busy, I have my work. Sharon has been wonderful helping me to get this far. It’s all I need. I could not look at Jackie.
Jackie sensing I was hiding the fact I love Michael still deeply, Sharon is married? You two have always been the best of friends. Come on, you need to have someone in your lives?
Michelle: No she isn’t and we do just fine Jackie, really, looking away again. We both love what we do. When you have had you true love and lost it, nothing else will ever mean anything. It is what it is Jackie. We deal, trying to smile.
Jackie: I need to get going. It was so nice seeing you. We said our goodbyes.
It was so good to see Jackie again, but it just brought back the heartache too.
Jackie is thinking…oh boy!! I need to call Michael. I know he still loves her and they need to be together.
I took my time getting back to the office. I had to stop the tears.
Michelle: Sharon any calls?
Sharon: Yes, a Frank Di Leo just called his client wants photos taken tomorrow all day.
Michelle: Ugh!! You’re kidding me!! All day?! Who is it this time?
Sharon: I don’t know. This Di Leo wouldn’t say. Said his client likes to keep on the low key.
Michelle: Sighing…okay…see you.
9 AM THE NEXT DAY…..
The office doorbell chimes, in walks….
MICHAEL….
I wonder why Jackie was so adamant that I had a photo shoot! An all day one at that? I have so much work to do at the ranch and the label wants me to work more on my Dangerous album I still have a few more months left of the Bad tour. Sighing. okay, whatever. I have a photographer that I like, took me forever to find him but, still Jackie swears by this place. I have no idea who this person is or why it’s so important to Jackie and he was so sure I would like this one. I hope they don’t try to pose me like a kupie doll or something. No nudes either, jeez!! I really hate that. After Jackie’s persistence I had Frank set it up. I hope I don’t live to regret it. Won’t be the first time, I’m afraid.
Looking around at the photos of all the artists this photographer has covered and the style, I can’t help but be impressed. The work is really very good. Maybe this will be a good thing. One photo stood out as I look closer at it my heart skips a beat. Omg, could this be my…I mean..Michelle? I starting thinking about my beautiful Michelle> My true love. I never went back and I should have. I wanted to, dear god, I did, but sighing fighting the tears, I didn’t. But I knew too, this life wasn’t one she deserved. She deserves so much better than me. I wanted her to be happy. I still love her so much. Michael, you asshole, stop it. Michelle is happy now, probably is married and has a family. You had your chance and you threw it away. Dumb shit!! Don’t upset her life now because you can’t keep your own hormones in check. I don’t even know how to find her anyway. She’s better off without me. Lets just get this done!
