Spirit Of The Rhythm♚ Book 1

Chapter 9♚

*Michael's Point Of View *

I've been sitting here for an hour now,Paris and Prince they have been in and out checking on me, it's cute but right now I'm frustrated, not songfully because idea's keep coming different hooks different notes, which is the problem, because I still don't know about doing an album for Sony, my contract is almost up with them and I guess they are gonna squeeze every bit of talent out of me before I leave, I lay back in my chair looking at the desk I was sitting at full off balled up paper and pencil shavings and a bunch of papers everywhere

maybe I just need a nap, if 'it' will let me sleep, no I better not nap that will only mean no sleep tonight, I get up from the desk and ask for room service on the hotel phone, I really don't feel like eating but I know it's what I need maybe it will take my mind off the Sony, 12minutes later a lady comes with my food I thank her as she leaves, I look at my try on the little cart and pick out what I want, she gave me grapes, bagels, oatmeal, strawberries, and waffles, I take the fruit and bagels, after I'm done eating, I sit on my bed, I check my missed call's I got one from Chris, I forgot to tell him I am on vacation I guess, I dial his number

*"hello?"

hey Christmas! sorry I haven't returned your calls I'm on a little vacation

"oh I see happy belated birthday! man I know YOU went crazy, had your little Billie Jean dancers in strippers and had you some belly dancers straight from India and and a whole lot of bottles mike my man why didn't you invite me I like strippers! you probably had bubbles come in swinging from a vine and some lady popping out a cake and..

Chris?

a Million fan's screaming Michael!..

uhh Chris?

man you are lucky man I have never ever met a party animal like you...

Chris!

Yeah Mike why are you yelling?

I've been trying to get your attention for the longest to get you out of your dream birthday party

*laughs * oh my bad so how does it feel to be 40?

*Sigh * not much different from 30

oh you sound down

yeah just a little frustrated with these new song's I've been writing that's all

Mike don't mean to tell you what to do but you need to slow down

Chris don't worry I'm OK just ready to get out of this contract and maybe even start acting

oh sounds nice Mike when are you coming back?

*sigh * I don't know Chris

well man don't sound down go get those songs out the way and call me if you want so I can finish my dream birthday party well finish telling you

*laughs * Chris you are so country

*laughs * there you go with the country mess bye Mike!

*keeps laughing *by Christmas *

I hang up the phone that man is crazy but he is a good friend, I call mother and we chat for a hour, then I played with Prince and Paris ,we are coming back inside from the playground, "daddy I'm tired ",Paris said rubbing her eyes, "me too ",Prince said as we walked to their room's, well my sleepy heads I'll give you guys a bath then you can sleep, they nod....

*1hour later *

I put them to bed 30minites ago so now I'm sitting here in the bed still working on the songs i even gave some titles Like Privacy The others are still being worked on, I continue jotting down different idea's then I hear a soft knock on my door, uhh come in, I said still looking at my paper's, then I feel a tug at my pants I look down and see Paris in her hello Kitty PJ's, yes Paris?, I said taking off my glasses and putting my pencil down looking at her,"daddy can I sleep with you please Prince went to sleep before me and I don't like sleeping alone can you sleep with me? ",she said as her Blue eyes got bigger as she asked, I chuckle and nod, she then hop's up struggling a bit to get on the bed, then I move my papers and stuff onto the night stand and open my arm's for her to come in, she does so hugging onto my side I pull the covers over us as I rub her hair and hum Smile to her, it's a song by Charlie Chaplin but I did a cover to it so when they were babies I would sing it to them, as I'm humming I feel myself getting sleepy and I see Paris slowly closing her eye's, "I LOVE YOU daddy ",she said sleepily, shh daddy love's you too more than you will ever know,she smiles then with that she is sleep, I feel my eyelids fall and I fall asleep too like any father should holding his bundle of joy...
