Chapter 9. Quincy

Aya.

"Oh sorry am I interrupting something" said Quincy, as he walked in on myself and Michael.

"No Quincy your okay", Michael replied.

Seeing him in my presence was one of the most incredible things to happened to me, like, the Quincy Jones is standing right in front of me , I couldn't believe it, I'm a big fan of his work, I was star struck at that moment. Quincy came up to me and immediately shuck my hand.

"So Michael aren't you going to introduced me to this beautiful woman" he smiled, I blushed Quincy Jones just called me beautiful.

"Sorry, Quincy this is Aya Gooding and Aya this is Quincy Jones", Michael introduced.

Michael didn't need to introduced me to him because I knew who he was, I mean who doesn't. He let go of my hand and told me that I had really soft hands, which made my face burn up, I didn't expect the compliment.

"T-Thank you",I thanked shyly.

"So Michael is she your girlfriend", he asked.

I was startled I could feel my face burn up, I had to repeat what he said in my head, I glanced at Michael, I could see he was blushing too.

"No, no Quincy it's not like that she's just my friends", Michael explained.

"Oh sorry", he replied.

Quincy had a curious look on his face just like everyone who sees me and Michael together, they assume there's something more going on, it's like it's hard for people to understand that Michael and I are just friends.

Quincy sat with us in the studio he wanted to talk to Michael about the album, but Cheryl came in and interrupted.

"Sorry for interrupting, Michael your wanted on the phone it's your managers", Cheryl said politely.

Michael excused himself and walked out of the studio with Cheryl, I was left alone with Quincy Jones, it was an honor, being left alone with the Quincy Jones I have to say I was nervous, but Quincy made it comfortable for me.

"So Aya Gooding how do you know Michael", he asked.

"Michael came to the art building I work in to visit the kids, that's how we met", I explain.

"The art building nearby, that's where you work", he asked.

"Yes, but I work there part-time because I go to college", I clarified.

He asked me what I studied, "art", I replied. Quincy was asking a lot of questions about myself he was interested in all my answers that he kept on asking more and more questions, but the conversation took a turn and it became about Michael, Quincy talked to me about Michael, he told me Michael was a reserved guy that doesn't get attached to people that easily, he also told me that Michael is very shy, sensitive and quite a perfectionist. It was funny because I had some of does characteristics too, I do keep to myself a lot, I am quite shy and I am a total perfectionist but I'm not as sensitive as Quincy described Michael to be.

"Hey Aya, do you want to know why the people who work for Michael call him by his first name and not Mr. Jackson", he asked.

When he asked me that question I started to reflect back, when I first came to Michael's house everyone of his workers he introduced me to they all called him Michael, they all spoke to him so casually but at the same time they were very respectful towards him as their boss.

"Michael isn't into all that formal stuff, he doesn't want to feel superior to others, he wants everyone to be equal and besides Mr. Jackson is his father's name", he explained.

It was nice knowing things about Michael especially the things I didn't read in magazines, not that I didn't like Quincy giving me all the information but why, why was he telling me all this stuff  I didn't understand.

Quincy is a wonderful man he was way nicer than what I expected him to be, he seems to have great respect for Michael and his talent, he seems to enjoy working with him, after the little stories he told me about working with Michael, Quincy Jones is an amazing human being with a great sense of humor, I hope to get to see him again in the future.

Michael finally came back but he looked really upset, which made me very concerned, what did his managers say that made him upset.

"Michael are you okay" I asked, concerned.

"I'm fine", he smiled.

I knew he wasn't fine, Quincy wanted to talk to Michael so they walked to the corner of the studio, I sort of over heard their conversation, it was something about Michael getting the director he wanted for his up coming music videos there was something else too but I didn't catch it.

Once they were finished Quincy had to leave, he said goodbye I said it back and he left, Michael had a big smile on his face completely erasing the upset facial expression he had on his face moments a go, That didn't stop me from asking what was wrong earlier.

"Michael are you sure that your okay" I asked, curious.

"Yes, what makes you ask that", he replied.

"It's just you seemed upset went you walked in", I mentioned.

"Oh it's just my managers saying things I didn't like, it's not a big deal", he clarified.

I'm okay with Michael not telling me everything, I don't know him that well to know about his personal life, I mean his a reserved guy that doesn't tell everything to everybody, I'm just happy I know the basics about him.

"Do you want to get something to eat", Michael asked out of the blew.

"Okay", I replied.

So we walked out of the studio and got something to eat.
