Chapter 5

Date: August 15, 1987

Shayne's POV

I was sleeping peacefully when I heard a soft voice

Michael: Shayne.? Sweetie, wake up

(I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Michael leaning on the bed next to me. I noticed that he was already dressed.)

Shayne: Good morning

Michael: Morning Did you sleep good.?

Shayne:(Nods) Yeah

(I sat up and stretched.)

Shayne: What time is it.?

Michael:(Looks at watch) 9:14

Shayne: Really.? (He nodded) That's late for me

(He got up off his knees and sat on the bed in front of me.)

Michael: There's someone downstairs who I want you to meet so get dressed please

Shayne: Alright

(I got up and walked out of his room. I walked into my room and to the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes, turned the shower on, and got in. About 35 minutes later, I got out and dried off.

I put on a blue tank top, black skinny jeans, and blue Adidas. I dried my hair and left it down. I ran downstairs and looked around but I didn't see Michael anymore.)

Shayne: Michael.?!

Michael: Out here, Shayne.!

(I followed the sound of his voice and it led me outside to the pool. I walked over to him, where he was sitting at the table with a lady.)

Michael: Shayne.! This is my best friend, Elizabeth Taylor Lizzy, this is my photographer, Shayne Matthews

(She looked at me and smiled. She stood up and hugged me tight. I laughed and hugged back. She let me go and looked me over.)

Elizabeth: Nice to meet you darling

Shayne: Nice to meet you too

Elizabeth: Would you like to join us for some breakfast.?

Shayne: Sure

(Michael pulled me chair out for me and I sat down. He sat down next to me and Elizabeth was across from us. The cook, George, brought out our plates of pancakes, bacon, hash browns, and eggs.)

Elizabeth: So Shayne, how long have you been a photographer.?

Shayne: Well, Ive always loved taking pictures but I went into the business about 6 years ago

Michael: I have to show you the pictures she took of me last week They're amazing

Elizabeth: If your that good, I might have to hire you myself

(We laughed and finished our food. After George cleared our plates, Michael stood up and cleared his throat.)

Michael: I hate to eat and run ladies but I have some last minute tour details to attend to Lizzy, you'll be fine here until I get back.?

Elizabeth: Of course Go ahead doll

Michael: Alright Im sure you two will find something to talk about

(He leaned down and kissed Elizabeth on the forehead. He leaned over to me and kissed me softly on my lips.)

Michael: I'll be back in a hour

(He walked back into the house, leaving me alone with Elizabeth. I looked at her and she smiled at me.)

Elizabeth: You like my Michael, don't you.?
