When I Say, I Love You...

Chapter 11

"You wanted to see me Susanne?" I asked when I walked into her office at Motown records studio.

She looked up at me and smiled."Yeah, I did?" She said."Have a seat."

I sat down in one of the chairs sitting on front of her desk."Can we make this quick? I have some place to be in a about an hour."I said.

"She nodded her head, the pulled off her glasses and and sat them down a stack of papers she had sitting on the corner of her desk." Okay," she began then took a sip out of her coffee the sat her hands on the desk."It's about the celebration, Did"

"Susanne, I already told you I was gonna do the show."I said. Cutting her off.

She shook her head."No, no, no, it's not about you, everyone is doing the show except for Michael."

"And? Marvin isn't doing it either." I said.

"Yeah, well that's because he's going to be on tour."She said, then took another sip out of her coffee.

"Well, have you asked Michael?"I asked

She let out a long sigh. "Yeah, but he said he'll sit in the audience but he didn't want to do the show."

I shrugged my shoulders, that sounded like something he would say, If it had anything to do with his brothers or the Jackson's he didn't anything to do with them."If he doesn't want to do the show then do without him."

Susannes's mouth dropped in an instant." What?........wait.....what?"

"Well the show is honoring Billy Motown, right?" I asked

"Yeah, but-"

"How can you force people to do that?"

"But he won't listen to me, he won't listen to anybody but you."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Then you've got a problem, it's your show."

"Millions of people are gonna feel cheated is Michael Jackson isn't apart of the Celebration!"She said his name like it was gold or something."You know that You and Michael both was the thang back in the 70s."

"Then They've got a problem."I said. I didn't mean to sound nonchalant or anything. But I wasn't gonna force Michael to do something he didn't he didn't want to do. And it seem like ever since we started dating they think they come come to me every time Michael didn't cooperate with them."Look Susanne just because I'm his girlfriend doesn't mean I'm gonna make him do something I know he doesn't want to do. If doesn't want to do the show then that's his decision. Michael Is a grown man now and is capable of making his own decisions, so this is't my problem."

"Can you atleast talk to him?"She asked.

She didn't here I a word I just said. I thought to myself. I just stared at her.

"All I'm asking,"Then that smile stretched across her face and I knew then what was coming next."All I"m asking for is a slow yes, instead of a fast no." There was something about the way she said those words that made you do what she wanted. I didn't know what it was, maybe it was the was she smiled from cheek to cheek everytime she said it, or maybe it was the look she had in her big hazel brown eyes that made you not resist it. I don't know but it always worked.

I rolled my eyes to the top of my head."Fine I'll talk to him."

How soon?"

"Tonight, I'm seeing him tonight."

She smiled in releif."Thankyou baby!"

I shook my head and stood up grabbing my bag."Don't get use to it."I said as I turned to walk out the door.
