Chapter 24 - New friendships
Tatiana's POV
My alarm clock goes off at 3 a.m and I groan. Today Michael and I are suppose to go back to L.A I already packed everything last night. I force myself out of bed. I change into a jean shirt, jeans, and white keds. I only put on foundation, and mascara. Michael is suppose to come and pick up, so we can go to the airport. I sit on the bed, and turn on the tv. I watch cartoons awhile and fall asleep.
"Poor baby." a soft voice says with a chuckle. I somewhat open my eyes still sleepy, it was Michael. He was in a red mens shirt, with a black fendora.
"Michael, I'm tired." I say sleepily. He giggles.
"I know, baby. But we have to catch a flight." he says brushing some curls out of my face. "You can sleep in the car, and on the plane."
"I want to sleep now." I say whining a little. He giggles and gently picks me up.
"Michael...." I protest as he carries me.
"Ssshhhhh........" he whispers. "Go back to sleep, Tatiana." he whispers. I snuggle next to his warm chest, and inhale his cologne.
"Can you get her luggage?" he whispers to someone. He carries me down the hall, and I eventually become more awake.
"I can walk now, Michael." I say yawning.
"You sure?" he asks stopping. I nod, and he puts me down. He looks at me, and chuckles. I'm guessing my hair was everywhere because he started to fix some of my curls. I smile. We head in the elevator and meet Michael's bodygaurds. As we head outside we are immediatly greeted by flashing camera's, and yelling reporters. Michael's bodygaurds hold them back as we jump in the car. We eventually head to the airport, and are greeted by a huge crowd. We immediatly run to the gates, and get in the plane. We sit in our seats and wait for the pilot.
"If your still tired,you can sleep." he says gently. I yawn and giggle.
"After all the crowds, and noise....I'm very much awake." he laughs.
"Well you are pretty cute when you are sleeping." he says winking through his Ray Ban sunglasses. I blush, and the flight attendant comes up to us asking if we need anything.
"Can I have water, please?" Michael asks. As she walks away, Michael sighs and rubs his temples.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"As soon as we get back, I have to do auditioning for touring." he groans. "I hate auditioning."
"Wait....don't I have to audition?" I ask.
"No, I've already heard you sing and seen you dance...pretty much everyone has." he chuckles.
"Michael, I feel like I'm getting special treatement...or being the teachers pet." I say. He rolls his eyes.
"So you want to audition?" he asks raising his eyebrows.
"Hell no." I frown. He busts out laughing as the flight attendent gives him water.
Michael's POV
*3 months later*
"Tatiana, you were kind of flat on that last note. Greg you were late coming in!" I say.
"So you know what that means? Run laps!" I say yelling to everyone. Everyone groans.
"I'm going to fuck you up." Tatiana says under her breath.
"Oh really?" Greg says raising an eyebrow. Everyone busts out laughing, and Tatiana and I turn extremely red.
"Your so fucked up!" Tatiana says laughing at Greg. Greg is the lead keyboardist, and is such a comic. He always has jokes about Tatiana and I.
"Alright, time to run!" I yell. Tatiana groans.
"Michael, how many laps are you going to make us run?! I'm sick of this!" she growls. I smirk.
"Well then, maybe that will teach you to not be flat on your notes!" I tease her. She flicks me off and starts to run with the crew. Frank walks in and raises and eyebrow.
"What the hell...." he mutters into his cigar. I shrug.
"We don't have much time, until our first concert, Frank. It's got to be on point." I say with a shrug. He gives me some paperwork. I frown and look at them.
"What the hell is this?" I ask with a slight chuckle. Frank shrugs.
"Your father brought them, and left them in my office." he says with a shrug. I sit down on the floor and read them. It was the contract for Korea....again.
"I'm not fucking signing this." I groan laying flat on the floor with my hands on my face.
"You might want to tell him that...." Frank says with his cigar. I look at him confused.
"He's here." he says slowly. My eyes widen as fear builds inside of me.
"He's what?" I ask, and suddenly Joseph enters the room.
"Hello, Michael." he says and he turns to Frank. "Can I speak to my son alone?" Frank looks at me and I give a reluctant nod in approval. As Frank walks out, I look at Joseph tiredly.
"Joseph....what's the meaning of this?" I say waving the papers that were in my hand.
"Michael, they are waiting for your decision.....you need to get your head out of the clouds----" I snort and shake my head, with my arms crossed.
"Joseph, can't you see I am working and that you decide to barge in here and----" before I can even finish my sentence, Tatiana walks in the room slightly sweaty. She has on a blue sports bra, with black leggings. Her curly hair is in a high ponytail, which swings when she walks.
"Michael, how many la----" she stops in her tracks, when she sees Joseph. I try not to groan. They haven't been in the same room since, the whole family day drama. I feel the tension build up in the room. There is silence for awhile.
"Hello, Mr. Jackson." Tatiana says relaxed. I knew she wasn't going to let Joseph scare her. She was to strong, and knew how to stand her ground. Not to mention with her music career taking off, she has become only even more stronger.
"Tatiana....it's a pleasure to see you again." he says kindly. I try not to roll my eyes at Joseph. I guess now he thinks if Tatiana and I get together, that means more money.
"Michael, I was just wondering how many laps do you want us to do?" she asks not taking her eyes off Joseph.
"5 laps." I say simply. She nods and grabs her water bottle on the floor, and runs out. As she does, I can't help but stare at her behind. It looks pretty nice back there with those leggings.....apparently I am not the only one staring. Joseph is looking too, I clear my throat.
'Joseph, I am not signing these." I say giving him back the papers. He looks pissed.
"Michael, you are signing them. I told them that you would go to there meeting next week!" he says his voice raising a bit. I look at him in disbelief.
"Joseph, I didnt tell them that; you did. You can fix it. I mean you didnt even ask if I had a scheudule next week and you spring this on me?!" I shake my head. "The only way I will do this, is if Mother handels the money. I don't trust you with any of it."
With that I walk out the door to join the others running laps. Leaving Joseph there in anger and disbelief.
Tatiana's POV
"Are you ready for touring?" Sheryl asks jogging next to me. I give a nervous laugh.
"I'm scared as hell." I say laughing. Greg snorts.
"Your scared? I'm scared that Sheryl's damn hair will catch fire." Sheryl rolls her eyes. Karen had this idea, to use all this hairspray in her hair for the shows; with Michael's approval. I chuckle as we run together. Sheryl, Greg and I have become super close. As soon as we met...we immediatly hit it off.
As we cross the street I run abit ahead. Suddenly out of no where, a car comes zooming toward me. I freeze.........it's about to hit me!
