Michael's POV

When I woke up this morning, I noticed that Shayne was sound asleep but she was as close to me as she usually was

After that situation with Tati last night, she has refused to talk to me I sighed and rubbed her arm Her eyes fluttered up and she pulled her arm away from me

Michael: Shay, please talk to me

(She just stared at me and said nothing.)

Michael: Can you at least acknowledge my presence.?

Shayne:(Sighs) Why should I.? You have Tatiana Isn't that enough for you.?

Michael: I don't want Tatiana I want you.!

Shayne: You know, seeing you with her last night really pissed me off

Michael: I know but we were just playing around and we both fell down It was nothing more, nothing less

Shayne: Michael, I trust you so I'm just gonna ignore this

Michael: Yeah but do you forgive me.?

Shayne:(Smiles) Yes, I do

Michael: Good I could never lose you (I pulled her into me and hugged her) I'd go crazy

Shayne: Me too babe

(She put her hand in my hair and kissed me passionately. I smiled and pulled away.)

Michael: I love you pretty girl

Shayne: I love you more applehead

(We were about to kiss again when there was a knock on the door. I sighed and got up. I walked over to the door and opened it slightly.)

Tatiana: Hey Michael

Michael: Hey (Looks behind him) Hold on

(I stepped out of the room and closed the door behind me)

Michael: What's up.?

Tatiana: I just wanted to apologize I never meant to cause any problems with you and Shayne

Michael: It's fine We made up But thank you for apologizing 

Tatiana: But, I really wanted to make sure that me and you were cool

Michael: Yeah, your still a good friend to me so I have no problem with you

Tatiana: Great I'll see you at rehearsal

Michael: Alright Bye

(We hugged and she walked down the hall back to her room. I turned around and walked back into the hotel room. I went into the bedroom and Shayne was laying there watching TV. I got on the bed and laid down next to her.)

Shayne: Who was at the door.?

Michael: Just Frank He had to talk to me about some set list issues

Shayne: Oh ok

(She turned back to the TV and I couldn't help but feel guilty about the fact that I lied. I just don't wanna give Shay a reason not to trust me.)

Michael: You coming with me to rehearsal.?

Shayne: Nah I'll stay here and meet you up there later on

Michael: Alright

(I kissed her cheek, got up, and went into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and took off my clothes. I got in and washed myself up. 15 minutes later, I got out and dried off.
