Chapter 14. Diana

Aya.

One day myself and Michael were at his house, sitting in the living room, watching the Disney channel, we were watching the peter pan TV series, our love for Disney and magical things are what also brings us closer. Michael always reminded me of peter pan he acts like a child even though he is a grown person, I can't say much because I act the same way too, but it's cute and adorable when he does it.

As we were watching the Disney channel, the doorbell rang, Erica answered the door.

"I was told Michael would be here", a voice spoke.

"Yes he's here I'll go get him for you", Erica replied.

Erica walked into the living room, "Michael someone special is at the door for you". Michael walked out the living room to the door.

"Oh my god, Diana it's so nice to see you", he raised is voice in excitement.

Michael sounded so excited towards this Diana person, I sat on the sofa  wondering until the thought came in my head, "Diana, as in Diana ross", I thought. Michael walked in with Diana, I stood up as soon as I saw them walk in. My eyes widen I was so star struck, the Diana ross standing right before me, I couldn't believe it.

"Diana this is Aya and Aya this is... well I think you know", he introduced.

Diana shuck my hand and greeted herself to me while Michael had a big smile on his face, I've never seen him so happy. We all sat together in the living room, Diana looked stunning, she wore a beautiful amber knee length sundress, her hair was wild but at the same time classy, she had on golden pumps. She looked absolutely elegant. Diana wanted to see Michael because she wanted to know if he was doing the Motown 25 TV special.

"I'm still thinking about it", Michael said.

Michael told me about the Motown 25 thing, he told me he didn't want to do it, I guess he's having second thoughts about it. We were still watching the Disney channel, Diana was sitting with us, I notice that Michael was sitting a little too close to Diana, wrapping his arms around hers, it was quite odd, but I guess I shouldn't think too much about it.

After we watched TV we went on a walk around the estate, Diana was so sweet and kind she was telling me about the days her and Michael lived together.

"You and Michael lived together", I said surprised.

"Yes, back in the J5 days before they bought this estate, he was so cute back then", she replied as she turned to Michael and tapped his cheeks gently. 

She told me funny stories about those days, she told me about the time when Diana and Michael were painting in the living room, then Michael accidentally spilled paint on Diana's page the paint also went on her hands. Diana purposely wiped the paint on her hands on Michael's face, Michael went and grabbed a handful of paint and put it all over Diana's face. Suddenly they were having a paint fight, destroying the house with paint. After she told the story we all laughed.

"I won of course", Michael said proudly.

"Yeah right", Diana playfully shoved Michael to the side.

Diana told me more funny stories of went they lived together, they were all so hilarious. Michael and Diana seemed to be very close, Michael told me that Diana was like a second mother to him and he owned her a lot.

Michael did tell me deep secrets about how he felt about Diana, he told me he was in love with her ever since he was a child, "she was my first love", he told me. Michael had a big crush on Diana throughout his teen years, with Tatum O'Neil and with all those women surrounding him, wanting him, he never got over Diana no matter how much he tried.

But during the making of The Wiz  Michael and Diana got really really close, they would spend most of their time at studio 54. One night something happened after coming back from the dance club, Michael and Diana walked back to his place, they were watching TV, talking and laughing, the talking became flirting. Until Diana came on to Michael, "next thing you know we were sleeping together", Michael told me.

This happened for awhile that they were often late for rehearsals and filming, of course someone was about to notice. Diana's assistant got suspicious, she even confronted Michael telling him what was going on between himself and Diana, "I didn't want to say anything because I knew Diana wouldn't want anyone to know", he said to me.

After The Wiz  Michael and Diana were on and off from this little secret affair they had. The thing that broke my heart the most was that Michael was truly in love with Diana he wanted to marry her, "age is just a number, right", he would tell me. When Diana announced that she was getting married it really broke Michael's heart because he thought they were finally together, I felt like Diana was just playing with Michael's feelings, knowing Michael for so long she should have known how sensitive he was, no disrespect to Diana but that was pretty low.

Michael and Diana seemed to be doing great, but I have a hunch that Michael is still not over Diana. The three of us were having a picnic in the garden, Paula made some delicious picnic dessert like home made cheese cake, apple crumble pie and frozen chocolate bananas, they looked amazing it was too bad that Michael couldn't have any because he doesn't eat that much sugary food. That meant there was more for me and Diana, so we dogged right in, Michael chuckled when he saw my face covered in apple crumble, he got a napkin and wiped the apple crumble off my face as we were both giggling.

"You should try this Michael, it's really good", I said while holding a handful of apple crumble.

"No I can't", he denied.

"Oh come on", I said as I try to pin Michael down and playfully force a handful of apple crumble in is mouth, we were both laughing, until I got the apple crumble all over Michael's face, he pushed me backwards and we both laughed at each other

Michael grabbed a piece of cheese cake, "If you can't eat food like a grown up, I'm just going to have to teach you", Michael smile as he was holding the piece of cheese cake near my mouth. I chuckled for a bit then I opened my mouth, he fed me the cheese cake, he grabbed more pieces of the cheese cake and continued feeding me. I looked at Diana at the corner of my eye, she was just there staring at us smirking, she had that same look everyone gives myself and Michael, the 'are you sure you two are just friends' look, that's the look she had.

A persons shadow suddenly appeared, "excuse me Michael, it's your lawyer on the phone", Cheryl said. Michael stood up and walked back into the house with Cheryl.

"That Michael is always busy", Diana spoke.

"Yeah he sure is", I responded.

"It worries me some times", she said with a glum expression on her face.

"Why", I asked.

"I some times worry if Michael would ever find someone that could understand his devotion to his work", she answered.

It did make me wonder with Michael and all that fame, you have to be someone special to understand the dedication Michael put in his work and not be selfish about it.

"You know, you and Michael seemed to be real close, how long have you two known each other", she asked.

"Just a few months", I answered.

"Really you two act like you've known each other for years, I haven't seen Michael this happy in front of a girl for a long time", she smiled.

Myself and Diana talked for a good while, she asked me some questions about my family and what I do for a living, I asked her questions about her life and I have to say her life was very interesting, she even gave me some advice on love and parenthood, we talked for a really long time. Until Diana looked at her watch.

"Hey, Aya tell Michael I have to go, okay", she said as she stood up.

"Okay", I replied.

Diana walked towards the main gate were her car was, when she was half way there she turned back and walked towards me.

"Aya take good care of him, will you", she said to me.

"I will", I replied.

Diana smiled and walked towards the main gate where her car was again.
