...If Michael Only Knew...(On Hold)

"Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"...(Sep. 28, 1987)

Sorry this update is late! The power went out last night, so I couldn't type until this morning. This chapter was kinda rushed because I have somewhere to be soon, it's a bit of CLIFF HANGER, but you'll like it! *Muah!*

UGH! Talk about being jet-lagged! I'm so damn tired of being on this plane! I'm pretty lonely too...I wish that I could've flown out here with Michael and the tour crew, but I had a modeling gig that I just couldn't pass up! I'am so excited! In less than 2 hours, I'm finally gonna be in Japan! Most importantly, I'm finally gonna be with MICHAEL! *Bites lip* Michael. I remember when we first met. Michael was holding auditions for the part of the female he likes in his "The way you make me feel" video. I had tried out for the legs part in the "Dirty Diana" video, but Lisa Dean got it. I mean, I can't blame Michael for picking her though! Lisa has the legs of a goddess! Anyway, I arrived about 4 hours early to auditions so I could atleast be one of the first 10 he auditioned that day. To make a long story short, when I did what I had to do, Michael was hooked. He did atleast watch 5 or 6 more women audition but he picked me almost instantly! After we got to know each other and the video shoot was over, he invited me to come tour with him! Every since then, I've had a huge crush on Michael! I mean, I've always had a crush on him as an artist, but once I met him, I fell for him. Hard. I honestly think that Michael likes me too! He atleast acts like he does anyway. This tour is my chance to tell Michael how I really feel about him!

Tatiana Jackson...has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Back at the hotel, Maria and Michael are just getting out of bed. "Goodmorning Maria!" Michael chirped. "Morning Mikey." Maria groaned. "What's wrong Ria?" Michael looked concerned. "Oh, nothing Michael. I'm fine! Not everyone can wake up and be full of energy like you." Maria laughed. Michael laughed and hopped out of bed. "We should get dressed. I have to go get Tatiana from the airport soon. She said she would call before landing." Michael said with happiness. Maria rolled her eyes. "Seems like you're pretty damn happy about that..." she said with an attitude. Michael cocked his head to the side and gave Maria a look of confusion. "I mean, yeah, I am happy. What's that attitude all about? Do you not like Tatiana or somethin'?" Michael asked. "What? No...I mean yeah, she seem's okay. I just don't think it's fair how you picked her almost instantly out of almost 200 other beautiful women that were there to audition, that's all." Maria said as she limped from her bed to the closet. She was starting to be able to walk by herself now, but she's still a little sore. "I see..." Michael said as he slowly shook his head up and down. "She just seemed so perfect for the role, and so beautiful. It's just something about her, ya know?" Michael smiled and looked towards the ceiling. Maria's haeart dropped. "Michael?" she said. "Whats up?" "Do you have a crush on her or something?" she asked. She was affraid of what his answer may be. Michael stood there for a second and thought. "Uh, I wouldn't say that I need to have her, but she seem's like she would make a great girlfriend. I mean, she's smart, makes her own money, talented, and not to mention, she's beautiful!" Michael said. "That's why I picked her so fast. I felt something when I watched her move. Something like a connection..." Michael's voice trailed off.

Maria's heart was literally breaking into pieces. She was holding in tears with all her might. Now she official hates Tatiana. "Oh, that's nice Michael. Um, I'm going to take a b-bath okay?" Maria studard. "You sure you alright?" Michael asked. "Yes Michael damn!" Maria went in the bathroom, slamed the door, and ran her a nice hot bath. She stripped down to nothing but her smooth, caramel skin and look in the body mirror. She stood there and looked at her body from head to toe and said "I hate you...I hate you so much..." A tear rolled down her cheek and she closed her eyes and steped into the huge bath tub. She washed her body and cried.

Why can't he love me like he loves her? Huh? I knew it! I knew it! I knew it all a-fucking-long! And she likes him too, I know she does! I've seen how they act around eachother, I've seen it with my own two eyes! How could I be so stupid to think that a guy like Michael, could like a girl like me? Hell, I've been basically moochin' off of him and his family since mine was murdered and my grandmama didn't want me! He even said 'Makes her own money'. I did have a job,but I got fired because I wouldn't sleep with my boss like he wanted me to. I never told Michael this, because I knew he would flip, and I don't like to see him like that. It's whatever. Hell, I might as well be glad that I'm atleast his bestfriend. I wait till I talk to Lisa man...

What the hell is wrong with Maria? Is it something I said? Something I did? I don't understand it! Everytime I bring up Tatiana she wants to cut my damn throat! I guess she's just having another spell. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad. Like it did last time atleast...  

Michael is laying on the bed waiting for Maria to come out of the bathroom so he can go take his shower and be ready for Tatiana's call. Maria came out of the bathroom and she looked beautiful. She had on a pair of sweat pants, a simply red tee shirt and a pair of white converses. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had on no makeup. Just some lip gloss.  She walked right past Michael without saying a word. She walked to the door, turned and flashed Michael a blank look and left the hotel room. She was on her way down to Lisa's room, but Michael didn't know that. He hopped up and called down to Lisa's room. "Hey, Marias mad at me I guess and she just left the room...please make sure that she comes to your room and that she makes it there safely." He said. "I just don't know anymore..." Michael whispered to hisself. He went into the bathroom and took his shower.   "Maria? what is you problem this mornin'?" Lisa asked Maria, who was in tears on the couch. She had made it down to Lisa's room safely, but she hasn't stopped crying since she came in. "Talk to me!" Lisa demanded. "Okay. Michael was all excited about meeting Tatiana today at the airport in a soon. So I asked him what that was all about. He admitted that he does in fact have a crush on her and he called her beautiful and smart and talked about how she makes her own money! You have no idea how that makes me feel inside!" She moaned. "Damn Maria, I'am so sorry, I didn't know..." Lisa said as she hugged Maria tight. Then, there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Lisa yelled. "It's me, Michael. You don't have to open the door. I just stopped by to tell you that I'm on my way to pick up Tatiana. Her plane is arriving earlier than expected. We'll be back soon.Stay safe!" Michael said and walked off. "Pfft. That bitch is gonna be here soon. Fuck!" Maria fussed."Dammit!" She yelled. "Calm down honey, please!" Lisa begged. "I'm calm Lisa. I promise." Maria said with a huge, but sick smile.. "Look, I just wanna go out and enjoy Japan, Lisa. Shit, I haven't really been out every since I got...you know. But, I'll be back okay." Maria said as she got up and wiped her face. Lisa protested. "No way Ria! You don't know where Lamar is or what he's planing!!! And Michael is gonna FLIP when he sees that you're gone when him and Tatiana comes back!" She said. "Well, just tell him that you don't know where I went. Or tell him I stormed out or something like that...and as far as Lamar getting a hold of me, thats perfectly fine It's not like I wanna live anymore anyway...I don't give a fuck!" Maria slamed the door and left.
