"Alright, Mia. Just one more photo and I think we'll finally have it!" Mark cheers, staring at his camera.

I smile widely. 

"Give me a shy look..You can do any pose, but just look into the camera." Mark instructs.

And he said this photo shoot would be hard! Ha. 

I gently bite my thumb, showing my nail as I stare into the camera.

It's now February of 1992. I still can't believe it..1992, I've made it this far! The Remember The Time music video premiered on MTV, Fox and Black Entertainment just a week ago on February the second! The music video has been going strong with only well reviews from critics like Ira Robbins from Entertainment Weekly. He described the music video as a "gorgeous ancient Egyptian extravaganza"! He couldn't be any more correct.  

Speaking of Michael, he's recently created a Heal The World Foundation during a press conference in New York Radio City Music Hall just a day after Remember The Time aired! It's a mission to provide rescue for world-wide children! You know, protection against abuse, care giving, delivering medicines for children and it's a fight for world hunger. It's all about children's rights and to improve the world's life standards. It's truly beautiful. 

Adjo has been going to a public school for a few weeks now. He loves it! Michael was and still is anxious about Adjo's privacy. He's very afraid that Adjo will be taunted because he is the son of Michael Jackson or that people will follow him home and take multiple pictures of our address and Adjo's face.

I can understand why Michael is so protective for Adjo. I mean, he's our son! Michael prefers the children to go out in public with masks on to protect their identity. I've always bugged Michael about that but he doesn't want to argue with me about it. Michael says that our children's protection will be covered by him. 

I sigh. I guess I'll take his word for it and rely on him. 

"Done!" Mark smiles widely.

I grin, standing up. 

Mark stares at me, "Oh, um..Charlie? Yeah, hey, would you mind bringing Mia a shirt?" He nervously says.

I blush, giggling. "Mark, I have a bra on.." I point out.

Mark smirks, "I know, hon." He says.

I smirk as Charlie hands me a shirt. "Thank you." I shyly say, gently putting the shirt on.

"Hey, Mia!" Mark loudly says.

My eyes widen, "Yes, Mr Davis?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

Mark smirks, walking closer to me. "I forgot to call you for drinks, you know. How about we go tonight darling? My treat!" He smiles.

I bite my lip, "Oh, Mr Davis..That sounds wonderful but-"

"Oh, come on! Stop being such a mom. I'm buying, remember?" He says.

I stare at him, "I-I'll need to call Michael.." I shyly say.

Mark smirks, "There's a phone in your dressing room, honey. Go call him." He says, gently touching my shoulder.

I nod, "O-Okay." I shyly say, rushing off.

I run into my dressing room, closing the door behind me.

I'm not sure if I'm up for drinks tonight. It's only Tuesday, you know. I don't have any plans though.. I was excited only a few weeks ago to get out of the house, so what's stopping me now?
