Diana

Now I've got you....

He let my lips get close enough until he placed his hand over my mouth and said. "Nice try."

I stomp my foot. "How long are you gonna keep this up?!"

"Until I say so."

I cross my arms. "You said 'the longer I have you wait, the better it will be when we get there'." I complain to him.

"I never said today, Diana."

I had nothing else to say, so I just stormed off. Since he won't budge, I guess I'm just gonna have to sleep on the couch.

I could hear him laughing like a hyena from the bedroom.

I lay in fetal position on the sofa.

There is no way he could keep this up forever...

Michael calls Charlene to announce the making of his new video for his song The Way You Make Me Feel. He tries to convince her to join him at the audition and filming. It took a lot of persuasion, but she eventually accepted.

But with Diana, being her difficult self, thought she'd tag along.

"Diana." Michael calls from the other room.

"What?" She enters the room to him buttoning up his shirt in the mirror.

"When we get there. You're my backup singer. Got it?"

"Why?"

"It's a long story."

"You've got a girlfriend and you don't want to know you're cheating, so you cover it up with a cheap lie, that of which will slip right pass her pretty little eyes. You see that wasn't very long at all." She says.

"Witch."

"Love you too, Darling." 

Diana exits the room after to the bathroom to get ready for this fiasco.

The two are driven to a secret venue where the auditions will be held. With no hassle the security guards let the two in.

"What have you been doing? Your'e late! Go get changed right now." Frank complained.

Seen by Michael, was Charlene sitting in a folding chair. She happened to notice his presence and ran directly to him. 

Diana watched as the two embraced and grew envious.

"Uh! I've missed you!" Charlene exclaimed. 

"I've missed you more, Charlie!" he set her down.

"How's touring going?"

Michael sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. "Don't even get me started.."

"Try me." 

He really didn't know where to start, he made sure to exclude any details about him and Diana's romantic rendezvous, and tell her things she wanted to here.

While he was updating Charlene on his recent activity, Diana found it necessary to join the conversation. "Michael, your video." she interrupted.

His grin disappeared as he began his way to the dressing room. 

"Have we met?" Charlene asked politely. 

"No, I'm afraid not." She stuck out her hand for Charlene to shake.

She accepted. "Charlene." 

"Diana." she releases. "So, Michael Jackson, huh?" 

"I know, isn't he the sweetest? He's so much different in person than he is on stage. He's incredibly romantic and vastly selfless. I didn't think there could be a person that kind."

Diana flashed a sweet smile to the lady, despite her shouting profanity within her. "Ha ha ha. Come sit." she said through her smile. 

The two sat in the folding chairs watching the set, until Michael finally appeared. His hair was curly and pulled into a little ponytail. He wore an open blue button up, with a white shirt underneath, all of which was tucked into his iconic high waters. 

He made his way over to the girls. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck!" the girls said in unison. 

During his filming the girls decided to get to know each other a bit more. 

"So how'd you two meet?" Diana crossed her legs, bringing her attention to Charlene. 

"We met at First Avenue. My friend Jill, hooked me up with him. It's funny cause, I didn't even know who he was. He was wearing this disguise, and had this funny southern accent."

Diana, though she already knew this information since she was there, nodded and laughed along with her. "Quite the joker ain't he?"

"Don't even get me started." she tittered. "But enough about me, How did you two meet?"

"Oh, I auditioned for him." Diana lied. "I'm currently one of his back up singers."

"You're lucky. You get to spend more time with my boyfriend than I do." Charlene joked.

"Oh, don't worry. He talks about you non-stop. He tells everyone about how he calls you every night and wishes he could wrap his arms around you."

"Aw, really?"

"A lady never lies.".....

Two weeks later...

Diana returns to First Avenue for her first time in a while. Her and her friends are on Set list tho performer tonight. Her friends had rehearsed a week prior to the show. Roxanne on lead guitar, Kiki on drums and percussion, Alana on bass, and Dana, Gigi, and Diana on dance. And of course Diana had lead vocals.

The girls waited backstage for their group name to be announced. They all were putting the finishing touches on their hair and makeup.

Diana smiled at her reflection and kissed it, leaving red lipstick on the the glass vanity mirror. 

The music onstage concluded. "La Strange, Everybody! Give them a round of applause!" 

La Strange was a small group of young men. They played mainly pop and R&B. They were fairly new, but very well known here in Minneapolis. 

"Now the next group, ladies and gentleman, are making there debut here at First Avenue. So please make them feel welcomed." he hyped up the crowd. "Now, give it up for The Sensual, The Beautiful, The Incredible Diamond Dolls !". he dragged, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

The stage went black,the crowd hushed down a bit. 

A set of heels clicked against the hard stage floor, followed by five more heels.

Wolf whistles and cat calls were heard from the within the crowd. 

Kinu, on percussion, slammed her sticks against the drum set, which signaled the stage lights above dance in red, yellow, and orange.

Dana, Gigi, and Diana danced in sync with the music. 

They played a song written by Diana herself entitled Heat. It was a bit explicit and had sexual undertones, Not to mention but the chorus consisted of the word Heat  then two moans.

"Heat! Uh-Uh!

It ain't hard to beat! Uh-Uh!

Heat! Uh-Uh!

It's all over me! Uh-Uh!"

They sang in unison. 

Diana strutted towards the microphone stand and snatched the microphone from it. 

"Diana:

When I get home 

I'm all bothered and hot

It feels so right 

but I know that it's not

I'll grind you up 

and I'll turn you out

feels so good

that it makes me wanna shout! OW!

Heat! Uh-Uh!

It ain't hard to beat! Uh-Uh!

Heat! Uh-Uh!

It's all over me! Uh-Uh! "

A man backstage watched as the ladies got to the bridge of the song. He bobbed his head to the funky tempo of the bass and drums. 

After finishing that one, they sing two more of their original songs and eventually head backstage to change. Before reaching the changing rooms they run into the man who witnessed the show from backstage. "Ladies! That was incredible!" he said. 

They thanked the man kindly.

"Talent like this should be noticed." he began. "I'm Richard Bonello, from Calico Records. I believe they would love a group like you on the team."

Excitement welled up within them. "We'd love to!" Diana accepted his offer on behalf of the group.

"Great. I'll need you guys to meet me Monday, 12:30 PM."He handed them his business card, winked at Diana and walked off.

Diana twirled her hair around her finger and but her lip.

"Will Do."....

I am highly aware, and very sorry that this update took so long, I've had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do with the it. I eventually decided once a great idea popped into my head and then continued writing right away. I hope you enjoy <3
