"Mike! What are you doing! C'mon here!"

I sigh while getting out the bed after my steamy phone sex with Marina. It was Christmas and I wasn't even home with my gal. Now, my own brothers want to drag me to this deluxe Christmas party.

I wish Marina was here in New York with me.

We were staying in this suite up in Manhattan after our last concert as I walk down the hallway of the hotel depressingly. Jermaine chuckles as we get into the elevator together, "Why so blue?"

I shove my hands in my pocket, huffing, "I just want to be with my gal. Kissing her under the mistletoe. Drinking cocoa by the fireplace." Marlon chuckles, "And give her that good good." I nudge him angrily, "Shuddup!"

Joseph grins, "Can you two act like grown men, not children."

Tito turns to me, "It's alright, Mike. I totally can relate to that." I bite my lip anxiously as the elevator door opens as we were bombarded by the cameras of the paparazzi. I stuck my hand in front of my face as our security shoved through the crowd of cameramen and reporters. We quickly hopped into the limo as I rest my head against the window, staring at the night lights of the skyscrapers in New York.

It was lightly snowing as I sigh softly. Marina would've loved to see this. I remember her telling me how much she loves snow.

We finally arrived at the party as I slowly walk out, smiling at the many girls who were cheering my name behind the barricades. I couldn't help but sign a couple of autographs before walking into the big dance floor of people. There was an open bar, girls dressed in tight red- velvet clothing, pretending to be Santa Babies, and a depressed me.

My brothers was scattered along the room, dancing and conversing with the girls. Like the good old days. I walked over to the bartender as the guy chuckles,

"Wow, I get the honor to serve Michael Jackson?"

I chuckle awkwardly while waving my hand nonchalantly, "Give me a shot of the tequila." He pours some in a shot glass, giving it to me as I quick drink the sweet yet spicy substance. I could feel the liquid burning my throat as I cough. I didn't expect it to be so strong as I mumble, "One more."

That one more became ten more.

I sat at the barstool, drowning in my old sorrows, as one of the girls walk over to me. I grin as she coos, "Your brother told me to come over here and make you happy." I shake my head slowly before slurring my words, "Try bringinggg my girlll hereee then I'lllll be happy."

She giggles as she pulls me to the dance floor, "I can't bring your girl here, but I'll be your girl tonight!" I laugh innocently as her arms were around me while I pull her close to me, "I guess you will haveee tooo." She was a cute, petite woman. Her voice was slightly high-pitched as I enjoyed her dancing. Her body was pressed against mine as we grind to the beat. I blink slowly as she looks at me, giving into our sexual tension. Her lips were on mine as we made out with one another.

"Shittt..."

I pulled away while smiling, "This is a reallllly badd ideaa." Her finger pressed against my lips, "It will be our little secret." I nod slowly as her lips went back on mine as I pull her closer to my body. Eventually, I pushed her away while shaking my head, "I haveee a girl at homee. I need to gooo." She bites her lip as I wobbled away as I found Marlon. He turns to me, "Woahhh there, drunk too much?" I touch my head nodding as we both walk back to the limo.

"Damn! My head hurts so much! Marrrloonnn!"

He walks out the bathroom and looks at me, laughing, "That's your fault for drinking so much!" I glanced at the clock on the nightstand, "8:32am" He nods, "We are going back home today, excited?"

I growl, "No, I cheated on my girlfriend. There's nothing excited about going home." I slide out the bed as Tito walks into the room, "You what?!" Marlon snickers, "We was making out with this girl last night." Tito's eyes widen at me as I slam my fist on the wall,

"I really fucked up, okay? I don't need you guys rubbing it in."

Joseph walks into the room, "Who the hell is banging against the wall!" I slid my hand against my face angrily as I stomp off to pack my bags.

How the hell will I explain to Marina about this. We worked so hard on this...our relationship, she gave me an another chance and I blew it.

I zipped the suitcases up before looking out the window of the beautiful city of New York, contemplating on my actions. How Marina will never forgive me, or even give me an another chance. I don't even know how to make it right between us.

"Hey Mike! Let's go!"

I turn to Marlon and Randy who were waiting for me as I grab my bags and walk out the hotel room. I didn't have nothing to say. I was full of shame. The driver took us to JFK airport where we boarded a plane to get back to Encino.

My anxiety got the best of me as I went through 5 bags of peanuts. I couldn't believe I had done something so...evil, in a sense. I didn't deliberately wanted to kiss that girl, but it happened.

We finally landed, five hours later , as my heart dropped to see Marina. There. Waiting for me. Her smile was wide as she held Bubbles in her arms. I looked at her speechlessly while walking down the stairs as I smile back superficially, "Hey babygirl."

She sets Bubbles down and hugs me tightly, so tightly that I cough, "Baby you're choking me!" She giggles as I peck her lips before looking at Bubbles, "Hey buddy, I missed you." He hops into my arms as I laugh before I look at Marina.

"We need to talk."

She whispers, "Later, I'm just so happy to see you." She cups my face, staring deeply into my eyes, "I see your vitiligo got your skin lighter?" I nod slowly while blushing embarrassing, "Do you still love me?"

She grins, "You're a crazy little man, of course I do. I even have a little treat for you tonight." I bite my lip as I give her a small smile.

Too bad I won't receive that treat when you find out what I did.

She frowns slightly, noticing my lack of enthusiasm as she takes Bubbles from my arms, "Are you okay? You seem so tense." I lied, "Long trip." She nods, letting it go as we walk to the limo that was waiting for us.
