A Birthday For A King

The next day....
Roberta's POV

"no Lyn.. Get out the cabinets, I'm going to put you in your high chair! "

As you can see we are trying to hide some of Mike's birthday presents. Michael is a lucky guy he has two cakes being made for him because today is his 36th birthday. I'm soo excited for today. He isn't here right now though because he has a meeting about preparing for tour. He has a surprise for him. We are going with him. He wants us to be there with him so bad and I completely understand so I'll be happy to go with...
As for today when he comes back he is going to come back to a whole house full of people he loves and adore him. Then tonight we are going to take a trip back down memory lane. I'm taking him to favorite restaurant and the party will continue there. I'm excited... I planned all of this by myself hahaha and I started planning this before my birthday. I'm proud of myself if you ask me. Let me finish decorating the house and get my child out of the cabinet... This is going to be a long day...

Michael's POV
Frank: so now that we know that the tour date has to be pushed back . What's next.
Me : I can finally work on blood on the dancefloor. I got started but the two main songs still have to have a short film. So Roberta and I can get started on that since she has runway and the Oscar's are until the beginning of '97 . How's that?
Frank: that sounds like a plan Mike. I'll get to calling. You enjoy your birthday kid. Happy Birthday. *pulls out a box*
Me: Awww hahaha thank you but what's this?
Frank: here open it
Me: OK ,Wow man this is wonderful .thanks Frank. * gives him a hug*
Frank: no thank you for so many years of friendship and partnership no matter how much you drive me crazy I still look at you as my kid. So happy birthday and many more to come.
Me: Awww thank you for everything... Thank you.

Wow all I can say wow. For me to have a manager like Frank and he's been around for so long. I look at him a father figure in a way because Joesph and I didn't have a father and son relationship so I kinda feel that with Frank. I appreciate him a lot. I really do. As you probably noted. Today is my birthday. What a way to start my day huh... With a meeting but I got good news and bad news. The good news is that I get to really focus on two songs for the short film. I have time to be creative and work really hard on it. The bad news is they are delaying tour until '97. Today feels like something special is going to happen. Roberta as always is planning. I wonder what they are up to....

Roberta's POV
Now that we hid some of his presents we are now trying to get dress. God bless Karen she came to help me and Mike get dress but I'm having a great deal of a hard time getting Lyn dress she won't sit still. From the looks of the wardrobe wrack that's in Mike and I room and in Lyn's room we will be changing a lot . We finally got Lyn dressed. Man she is a piece of work. She has on black pants and white long sleeve shirt with a red glittery sweater. I put her hair in little ponytails with red ribbons. Now that she's dress grace took her to the playroom and let her play with her toys until everyone else comes. Now me and Karen can't decide which outfit to put on for the daytime. On the wrack there's clothes that being covered up so that's for the evening.

Me: I like this one.
Karen : which one? The classic one or the casual one.
Me: I was thinking the classic one.
Karen: OK sure.

So there we have it. I have on black high waist slacks and a red and gold top and red heels. As I'm getting makeup and hair ready I hear voices indicating that our guest has arrived.
Me and Lyn make our way downstairs where the guest had arrive starting with mother and Joseph, his siblings, their wives, husbands and children, my mom and dad, my brother his wife and daughter, the girls, Elizabeth Taylor, Whitney, Bobby and Bobby Kris, his team, Malissa and her other daughter Melanie. And so many more. The surprise is Mike is on his way home now and I'm supposed to be greeting him in the foyer and helping him get dress. Everybody is hiding in their places and I'm playing the nonchalant role....
