TIME FLIES [English Version]

GOOD FRIENDS

CHERYL'S P.O.V

I was still staring at my cellphone.

"This is Michael... B Jordan!"

"... you were amazing tonight."

"You have a new fan."

I had read the message at least 10 times by now.

Should I reply?

What would I say? A simple 'thank you'?

How did he get my number? I don't remember anyone mentioning that to me.

Was it Lily?

No. She wouldn't do that. Lily knew I didn't want to get involved in that moment. She knew I wouln't be interested. She wouldn't do that.

Would she?

I spent the hours in the morning thinking about what I would reply to him. When I realized I wasn't ready, I told myself I could do that later. I had to rehearsal for my Jingle Bell Ball performance this weekend. I would occupy my mind and at night at home, I would know what to reply to Michael.

– Ok, let's try again! – I said to my dances while 'Love Made Me Do It' from the begging (for the hundredth time) so we could do the routine again.

The problem wasn't them, it was me. I was messing everyhing up. I felt ashamed for thar. It was almost evening and we were still there, for my mistakes. I must have said 'I'm sorry' a hundred times. Michael's message was still in my head during the whole day. Was he waiting for an answer? Or was he just polite? I still didn't know what to say.

After an exhaustive day, I was at home sitting on the couch, with my tea on one hand and my cellphone on the other waiting for The Graham Norton Show to start. Our episode would air that night. I wanted to know how the performance went, and of course, how Michael's interview was before I joined them.

I couldn't not laugh when Graham showed Michael some funny tweets about burning uterus. He looked so cute when he was embarassed.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I barely realized when I was annouced. Me and my boys were great, I got so happy that I sang a few words at the end.

After that, came the part where I said hello to everyone. Something special caugh my eye: did Michael almost put one of his hands on my back while I was talking to Ruth and Steve or was I crazy?

Easy, Cheryl. You're crazy.

A series of events I didn't realize in the moment hit me like a bucket of cold water. What the f*ck happened there? Michael looked at me while I was talking and he didn't missed a word.

I caugh him looking at me, but then he turned around. After that, he almost caugh me looking, but that was my time to turn aroud. Then we shared a look and a cute smile.

Was he looking at my hands while I was talking about the new album? What?

And last but not least, my reaction when he said 'time flies'. I couldn't believe my fave when I looked at the audience.

Holy sh*t.

I was hoping Michael was far far away from the TV right now. Oh my God, I'm so embarassed. After I've seen enough, I turned off the TV and went to my room. Today was too much.

Michael must be very busy right now, so he wouldn't notice if I didn't reply him. I thought.

No.
