*1991*
The sun rose on Neverland Ranch; making it another cloudless day. The clock read 8:47. "Time to get up, I guess." I roll over to another body next to me. The slightly curled hair snored lightly. I took that advantage to use the bathroom; knowing once he woke up, there wouldn't be any hot water left. I quickly grab my clothes and went in. Making sure the water is just right; I got in. I use my special soap, rinse off and got out. I put on my special lotion as well and then my clothes. A Minnie Mouse t-shirt and some old shorts. The bed was still occupied when I got out. I went down to the kitchen to get breakfast. Some coffee and a blueberry muffin. As I wash my mug out; a pair of warm arms wrap around me. "Good morning, baby." "Good morning." I say back. I turn to see Michael wearing a red button down shirt with his traditional slacks and socks. "How did you sleep?" "Pretty well. And you?" He asks. "Yeah, for the most part. Do you work today?" "You know I have to." He takes me hand and kisses it. "My job doesn't stop like everybody else's. You have a job like that yourself." "I'm off today and wanted to spend some time with you. One of my producers want me to direct their son's music video. They're supposed to call me today." "I'm supposed to be having some sick kids over, if they feel well enough, this weekend. Would you like to help?" He asks; popping a grape in his mouth. "Absolutely." Suddenly, my thigh starts to get heated. I look down to see a large red mark. I quickly cover it up, before Michael notices, but it's too late. "Are you alright, Dani? What's the matter?" "*sigh* It's my skin again." "Let me see." His hands gently hold my thigh. "Mhmm...is the soap and lotion not working?" "I use them everyday. I think it's coming back worse this time." "I'll call the doctors today. See if we can get you in this week. Please don't touch it. It'll only make it worse." "Thank you, Michael." "You're welcome. Now, if you need me, I'll be at the studio. Almost done with a song. I think you'll love it. See you later, baby." "See you, Michael." I kiss him on the cheek and he blushes. Once Michael left, I had a bit of trouble keeping myself occupied. I found an old book and went into the living room. It kept my attention until I started to get drowsy.
*A little while later*
The phone in the kitchen began to ring; startling me from my nap. I groggily went to go answer it. "Uh...hello?" I say. "Baby, what are doing?" Michael asks on the other side. "Nothing. Why? What's the matter?" "I finished the song! I want you to hear it. Can you come in and listen to it?" "Give me a few minutes. I'll be there." "Good. We'll wait for you!" He said excitedly. I quickly went to grab my slippers and headed out the back. I took one of the golf carts to the studio; which was at the back of the property. Michael's face lit up when I pull up. "You're going to love it. Come on!" He says, pulling me to the room. A few other people who work with him were there as well. "Okay, you ready? Start it up, Frank." It took a moment before the beat dropped. Michael bobs his head to the beat. 🎵"Do you remember when we fell in love? We were young and innocent then? Do you remember..."🎵 The song lasted a couple more minutes. Michael couldn't stop grinning. "Wow. I love the beat and lyrics are nice too. Can we hear it again?" "I knew you would. I got the inspiration from one of your films." "Really? I'm honored, Michael." After listening to it a few more times, Michael decides to close the studio early. Once we back in our room, I start to get ready for bed. "Dani, I'm thinking about making a short film for the song. What do you think?" Michael asks. "How would you start it off? What would be the theme?" "I haven't gotten that far. Uh...give me a bit more time. I'm sure I can come with something by the morning." The rest of the evening went uneventful.
