When I Say, I Love You...

Chapter 15

I decided to go ahead and fly out to New york to perform for my sisters last show.  I didn't tell michael because I knew he wasn't going to like, and I knew I was probably get into some trouble by him when i got back. But I didn't worried to much about it. 

i sat back stage watching my sister perform her songs, and I could tell we were related because some of her dance moves were similar to mine. I have to say she was amazing for a new beginner. Anyways, so i was back there minding my own buissness when one of the members of her team came up to me. i think he was one of the back up dancers. He sat down next to me and smiled. I didn't say anything to him at first, but then his staring started to make me feel uncomfortable. I raised my eyebrow at him."Do you need something?" I asked, with an attitude.

He shook his head."Naw, I don't need anything, I'm just surprised that you and keisha are sisters."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"No offence, but umm, you are way sexier then her."he said, then licking his lips.

Eww...I thought."Well have different mothers. And why are you telling me this?"

"Well, i just wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"you got a boyfriend?"He asked.

i gave hm an ' Are You Serious' look."You don't read magazines do you?

"I do"he said with a smile on his face, but it was clear that he was confused as to where i going with this.

"So your not aware that I've been dating Michael Jackson for seven years now?"I asked

"Seven years?"He sounded so shocked.

I nodded.

"Mane, girl y'all need get married then, that's to long of an relationship."He said.

I just shook my head."Well it's true, so you can stop flirting with me,"I looked at him up and down."Or at least trying."

By then Keisha was finished with her performance and was walking back stage."Girl, you ready? That was my last performance."

"Yeah, I'm ready."I said standing up.

"Okay I'm gonna announce you on."She said as she whiped some sweat off her neck with a towel.

One of the operators gave me a microphone and a ear piece. I stood in front of then entrance of the stage waiting for Keisha little speech to be over. "...I want to introduce y'all to my sister, who was nice enough to make time out of her schedule to fly out here and sing a little song for me. Every one Give it up for Aaliyah!!!!!!!!!!!"she said.

 I stepped onto the stage and started singing One In A Million, and just like everytime I sing that song, Michael comes to my mind. His smile, those perfect sexy chocolate brown eyes. That smile. It made me start to miss him.

Love it babe. Love it babe.

The crowd cheered I smiled. and waved to them. "Alright you guys there's one more song I want to sing before i go home. This is dedicated to a special someone that I really love and I want to sing it for that person. Can I do that?"

The crowd screamed."YES!"

I let out a little laugh."Okay here it goes." The music started to play. and I waited for the piont where I was suppose to start.

Hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah

A special smile, a certain touch
I never had a love that I loved so much
When I look back, you're everywhere
Turn the page, you were there

My very best friend, my summer day
My only someone to depend on
When I've lost my way
You came and answered my every prayer
Turn the page, you were there

What would I do if some strange morning
I opened up my eyes to find you gone
I can't imagine how I would survive it
I finally got the reason to go on

My one sure thing, my solid ground
All I ever wanted was the love that we found
When I look back, you're everywhere
Turn the page, you were there, yeah

What would I do if strange morning
I opened up my eyes to find you gone
I can't imagine how I would survive it
I can't imagine how I would go on

A special smile, a certain touch
I never had a love that I loved so much
When I look back, you're everywhere
Turn the page, you were there
You came and answered my every prayer
Turn the page, you were there
Hey, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, ooh

People had these little glow sticks and swaying their hands back and fourth in the air. They cheered when I was done, and then Keisha joined me on the stage."Was that great or what?" The crowd cheered."Well I want to think you guys for coming out here to share this gorious moment with me. I am very blessed. And I also want to think my big sister Aaliyah for coming out here to. If it wasn't for her. I wouldn't be where I am today." I smiled as she placed her arm around me. After Keisha finished giving her thanks to her team we left the stadium and went back to the hotel to eat. "So that song that you sung, did you write it?"she asked "Which one?"I asked. My mouth was full of spaghetti. "The one called turn the page." "Oh yeah, I did."I said after I swallowed it. "I can tell you wrote it for Michael."She said with this huge smile."I did, all the love songs on there that i wrote was for Michael." "yeah and it's very obvious to." I nodded my head. "I'm surprise he's not here with you."She said "Well I didn't want him to stop on his work just to come all the out here for a weekend. You know he released that video the about a week ago, and now, he's really busy with interviews and stuff." "Oh yeah that's right. IT's called Thriller." I nodded my head."I haven't even watched it yet but I know it's gonna be good." "It is" She said, excitedly."I'm not gonna tell you how it goes because I'm pretty sure Michael said it was a surprise to you." :He did."I said."I'm usually the first one to see his works." She laughed."So Michael doesn't know your here." "he didn't but I'm pretty sure he knows now. Your performance was MTV wasn't it?" She nodded her head. "Yeah, then he knows now, he's probably gonna be mad at me for coming." "Why you say that?" "because, he doesn't like me going on planes, unless I'm with him."I saidm rolling my eyes. "How come?" i shrugged my shoulder."Ever since he thought I was dead, he has this massive fear of me going on planes, it's been like that for years." "Awww, he really loves you, Aaliyah!"She squealed." I rolled my eyes."Yeah well sometimes it can be a little annoying but I guess that's how it is when you really love someone." She shrugged her shoulders."I don't know, I've never been that in love with anyone." I laughed."Well you'll know once you get there."I smiled."Because, I got it bad." She raised her eyebrow at me."How do you know when you got it bad?"She asked. A smiled stretched across my face."Well, one thing is, when you talk to them on the phone, you stay on the phone with them for hours. And I don't mean just no simple four to five ours I mean like ten to eleven hours. Or you could really have it bad and be on the phone with each other 'til you both fall asleep then wake up and talk to each other for another two hours." "Wow." "I Know right, and then if you miss like one day without seeing each other, then your whole life is like completely off track. And then that person is the only thing you think about; no matter what it is your doing , you'll be thinking about them. Then you get to that point where you can't breath without them or sleep without them and in my case, I'm literally about to go crazy because I haven't seen Michael in the last twenty four hours." "Damn, what do y;all do when your on tour?" "Ugh! Oh My God, that is the worst one!"i said."It's okay at first because we talk to each other on the phone until the break of dawn, but then as the tour goes on, you start to get anxious because you haven't seen nor touch them in months." "Wow, I can't imagine how you are when those months roll around."She said. She looked as if she was trying to visualize it, but couldn't. "You would surprised."i said. "I think your Crazy in love with him." "I am."I said nodding She sighed."I hope I get to be like that one day." "oh believe me you will,"I assured her."But ou should know one thing though." "What?" "It can be very irratating in a good way, sometimes."I laughed. She laughed and nodded her head."Okay."
