Mariah's P.O.V

I woke up with a pounding headache and could barely open my eyes. Was I finally receiving the aftermath of my insane birthday party more then a week ago? Whatever it was it hurt like hell and I barely felt like getting out of bed.
I turned around and looked at the clock, once I saw the time I jumped out of my bed. "3:00?!" I yelled loudly. In the corner of my eye I saw a tall shadowy figure. "Look likes someone's finally awake." He said. I turned around and it was exactly who I thought it was, Michael.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I ask him.

He shrugged his shoulders and then took a sip of his water bottle. "You looked so peaceful... and do you know how hard you are to get up in the morning?" He asked me.

I giggled. "Sorry about kicking you in the face the other day by the way, I didn't mean to do that."

I was referring to something that happened 3 days prior when I had to go to the studio yet again and Michael who's always up early attempted to get me up. I rolled over a few times and then accidentally kicked him in the face... his nose specifically and it was gushing blood, I felt so bad.

I walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen, lord this house is so big I can barely find my way around it.

I opened the refrigerator and grabbed a can of Mellow-Yellow. I opened the can and then chugged the can down and threw it in the trash bin. "Thirsty?" Michael jokingly asked me as he came down the stairs.

I nodded and then laughed at him.

"Do we have any plans tonight?" I asked him.

Michael shook his head. "Your assistant Anne is coming over for dinner but other then that no." He replied

"She's really nice." I commented.

"Why do you think I picked her to be your assistant? I can tell the real from the fake and plus I've known her for a long time and I know that she's not one of those fake employees that will exploit you if you fire her which I doubt will happen because like I said, she's a professional." He explained to me.

April 8th 1989 (4:32 pm)

Michael looked at the little puppy that was in the cage as Eric pulled out of driveway of the dog shelter. As an anniversary gift Michael went to the fog shelter and got Mariah her own puppy as a surprise, he decided on a small 3 month old Jack Russell Terrier.

"I hope she does like animals, she doesn't seem like the type." Eric commented. Michael chuckled. "What do you mean she doesn't seem like the type?" He asked.

"She's just so prissy, she doesn't seem like she'd enjoy the presence of animals." He explained.

Michael laughed once again. "True, she's a little prissy but she's not one of those bitchy divas that want you to fetch everything for them... she's tough and that's what I like about her."

Eric nodded. "She's definitely tough,
awhile ago she playfully punched me and there was a large bruise... I didn't think her little thin self could do that."

"Oh yeah I know, she's skinny but she's also really tall... she told me a story that she pushed someone into a locker, I'd be scared as hell if her tall ass pushed me into a locker." Michael joked.

Eric laughed as they pulled into the Neverland Ranch. Michael grabbed the cage and slowly got out of the limousine. He walked in to the house and called out for her. "Mariah?!"

Mariah stepped down the stairs with her hair in a messy bun, a spaghetti strapped white tank top and some mid thigh blue jean shorts. Her eyes immediately went into the cage in his hand. "What's in that cage?" She questioned and pointed to it.

Michael put the cage on the ground. "See for yourself." He told her.

Mariah went over to the cage and opened it. Her eyes widened as the puppy went over to her and licked her hand. "Oh my god." She said and grabbed the puppy, tears flooded her eyes.

Michael laughed. "Mariah are you crying?" He asked her.

She laughed with him. "Is He mine?"

Michael nodded. "Yep as your anniversary present, he's a 3 month old jack russel terrier... what are you going to name him?" He asked her.

She picked up the puppy happily. "I'm going to name him Jack." She replied.

Michael jokingly rolled his eyes. "Wow how original." He playfully said.

"Come here Jack Jack." She said as she began playing with the puppy.

I hope she's this nurturing when we have children. Michael though to himself.

This part was terribly written but I haven't updated in a few days so I had to get this part out, there will probably be a few more updates today.
