Quiet One

Quiet One #1

"Alessia! Honey, it's time to wake up!"

I heard my mother yell from downstairs.

She probably thought I was sleep, but I wasn't. I was already awake, been awake for a couple hours now actually.

Know what I've been doing?

Watching him.

Oops, I'm sorry! Most likely you don't know who I'm talking about.

Well, his name is Michael. Michael Jackson.

The name, it fits him well. I'm mean he does look like a Michael.

Wait! I can't tell you he looks like a Michael if you don't even know what he looks like!

Man! I can be real stupid sometimes, just ask my mama.

....

Anyways...Michael..Michael

Whenever you hear the name Michael, you probably think about some mixed kid or like a light skin boy.... like Michael Ealy

But No.

This Michael is totally different.

First of all, he's not light skin.

He's brown skin.

What I mean by that is...well.... How would I put it?

Oh! Coffee! Just imagine a nice tall cup of coffee with a little cream, stir that up and put a little suga in it and you've got Michael.

Tall and a little suga.

That's what Michael is.

Tall and a little bit of suga, with a nice big jet black fluffy afro and a button nose.

Let's not forget those big brown chocolate eyes..... those things are....just...beautiful.

I would stare into them all day if I could. Just dreamy.

"Alessia! Are you almost ready!?"

Now I'm just talkin' about his face, let's get to the body.

He's skinny, real skinny.

He's not lanky but don't got alot of muscle either. But that's how I like him, he's in the middle.

Just like me. I ain't skinny but i don't got a lot of thickness to me either.

He's also tall, I'd say about 5'8, maybe 5'9 but I'm only 5'0 so anything pretty much looks tall to me.

But we're not here to talk about me, we're here to talk about Michael.

Or....

"Alessia!"

Maybe we can talk about me, just a little.

I mean this whole book is literally to talk about Michael, right!?

Right.

So let's talk about me.

Ummmm...well I'm 5'0

We know that already.

Ummmm...my whole name is Alessia Caracciolo but I shorten my last name to Cara.

And as you can tell by that last name that I'm part Italian. I'm also mixed with Indian and a little bit a black.....somewhere?

I gotta look into that!

Anyways I got long curly black/brownish hair and I too have big brown eyes. I also got some hidden freckles.

I'm kinda, as what the kids nowadays call 'slim thick' but a little more on the slim side.

Annnnd

Ummmm...

"Alessia Caracciolo! Did You Hear Me! I Asked If You Were Ready?"

I looked up and saw mama in my doorway. "Ready mama!" I said following her out.

Hi! My name is Alessia and this is the Quiet One....
