Lovely One *ON HOLD*

Chapter 2

April 15th, 1988

Before Kareen drove home from work, she stops to get her take out food. She parks her car by a small business restaurant called Taurus. She wanted a good steak supreme sandwich with a small bag of chips, and a can of cola. Once her order was finished, she leaves and goes to her car and drives her way back home. It's been a month and few weeks since Kareen last saw Michael.

Kareen lives in a medium size, two bedroom apartment by herself. She gets in the house and throws her purse and grey jacket on the couch, and then puts her keys on the end tablet next to the couch. She goes and sets her brown bag of food in the kitchen and went to her room to change her sleepwear. Once she finishes changing her clothes, she walks out with her hair tied up in high top bun and grabbed her food from the kitchen. She. goes to the couch to sit and watch tv while she eats. She starts to flip channels to come across a show called 227.  She then sits on the floor at the coffeé table to get comfortable, and then opens her brown bag with a foot long steak surprise sandwich bag of vintners spicy cheese potato chips, and her can of cola. While she peels off the foil around the warm sandwich her house phone rings. She reaches over the end table and grabbed her phone to answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it me Michael" a soft voice comes through.

"Michael who?" She asks confused.

"Michael Jackson. Remember we met back in New York?" Her heart was beating so fast as she couldn't think of what else to say.

"Oh yeah. Hey Michael" she giggles. "Been waiting a long time to get your call"

"I know. Forgive me that I have been busy with the touring and promotions. I just finished performing in Atlanta."

"That's great. I've been keeping busy at work as well. Managers, finances, and a lot of paper filing"

"Sounds like a lot."

"Yeah..." she pauses while wondering what to say to him.

"So what you been up to lately besides work?"

"Oh I just got settled in coming from work" she says as she sit back to where she was. "I stopped to get something to eat before I drove home"

"What you get?"

"A steak supreme sandwich from a place called Taurus"

"What's that?"

"It's one of Chicago's style sandwiches we have on the south side. Chopped steak meat, melted cheese, with sweet and spicy peppers."

"Ooh that sounds good. I may have to try it when I visit"

"Actually I heard that you are performing here in Rosemont in a little bit" she asks while she take a bite of her sandwich.

"Yes I am. Are you coming to see the show?"

"Sadly no. I would love to but I have been very busy and caught up with work that I haven't taken the time to get tickets"

"It's okay, I can get you in the concert"

"Really?" She asks curiously.

"Yes. I will have someone pick you up in a limo and take you too the concert, and will give you VIP card to watch the show from back stage"

"Wow, Oh my god. Well the day you perform I will be off anyways"

"Perfect" he giggles. "Then I will have them pick you up from your home." This is exciting news to Kareen.

"Thanks Michael! I can't wait to go! This will be so exciting for me"

"Good" he giggles. "Because I also been wanting to see you again..."
