I walked into my dressing room and sat down. "Lord. If this is a test to see if I really love this man...you sure picked the right time to do it."I rubbed my hands across my face.

I stared at myself in the mirror trying to make sense of my morning when the door open. "Not now Tish, I'm not in the mood."I sighed.

"No, baby It's me."Rene cooed and walked over to me. "You wanna tell me what's going on in that pretty little head of yours."He ran his fingers through my hair.

I half-smiled and stood up. "It's really nothing sweetheart. I'm just tired."

"Ooh, that might be my fault."Rene chuckled and kissed me on the cheek. "I understand you're tired, but you have to get out there. Everyone is waiting on you. I promise your day would get better once you're done."He caressed my hand and I stood up.

If only he knew why I was really stressed.

"You're right."I put a smile on my face.

"I know I am. Now, let me steal a kiss so you could get a smile on your face."He pecked my lips and held the door open for me.

I walked down the hall and stood in front of Bill as the rest of the girls stood behind him.

"Well, it's about time you made it out here."Bill made a silly face and put his hand on his hip. "I thought we was gonna have to ...."

"SHUT EM DOWN!"The girls quickly finished his sentence. I was lost at first, but I found it funny.

"I've been out here getting acquainted with your dancers and I must say, they are some really nice ladies."He winked at me.

"That they are."I clenched my teeth and turned around to the camera. I was a big ball of nerves, but I wasn't going to let that show.

We were rolling.

"Janet...welcome to MTV Jams. This is a Janet Jackson special and her posse of women right here. Her dancers. They swing together. What Y'all...play together, go shopping together?"Bill introduced us.

"EVERYTHING!"Tina answered his question with a smile and Jossie agreed as she started to rub on him.

I side eyed her a bit. He wasn't joking when he said they had gotten acquainted. It kind of made me upset, but I wasn't going to show it.

"They watch MTV Jams together."

"Oh, I don't know about all that."I joked."

"You better!"He looked down at me and it made me hot all over again.

I couldn't help but blush. "No, we do."

As the conversation progressed, Jossie kept touching and rubbing on him.

"Look at Jossie. I'm gonna tell on you. Kevin's going to be watching."I laughed and pointed at her.

"It's apart of the act."She laughed and continued.

I didn't think it was funny. She could be nice without rubbing all over him.

"Let him get over it."Bill shrugged his shoulders and encouraged her.

I didn't like it at all so I laid my head on his shoulder, blocking her from touching him. I stayed for a good minute and listened to him as he continued to talk.

I looked up at him, his voice gave me chills in all the wrong places thinking about our night. I almost forgot to answer his question.

"Well, bill..."I lifted my head up and put my arm around him. "Oh, Bill."I joked with him and all the girls started laughing.
