September 11th 1987

I'd played a few of my new songs at First Avenue and the people just loved it. I also had to do a lot convincing, in order to have Diana join me on tour. After asking several times, is finally gotten permission to and notified her immediately to give her the good news. Once that was over, there was only one more person to call...Charlene.
My hand hovered over the phone shyly. To tell sweet, innocent, angelic girlfriend that you're going on a trip and that you want be alone, will not exactly be easy. 

I shakily dialed her number and brought the phone to my ear. After a couple of rings, she answers. "Hello?"
"Hi, Charlie." 

"Oh hey, Applehead! How are you?" 

Not well.

"I'm great. My album is the talk of the town. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback." 

"I've heard. I really like that Liberian Girl song. It's so beautiful!" 

"Hehehehe, thank you. Umm..there's somethin' I need to tell you." 

"Yes?"

Tell her Michael...

"Uh, In order for me to promote my album, I have to go on tour." 

"Okay, and?" She asks.

"I can't really bring anyone who's not part of the show with. So that means I can't bring you. I'm really sorry." 

"Michael." She laughs. "It's okay. Do what you gotta do." 

I don't deserve her...

"Thank you, Charlie. I will try to call you as much as possible, that's a promise." 

"Sounds great. Now pack your bags, boy! You gotta flight to catch!" Charlene says goofily. 

"Hehe, alright. I'll talk to you later okay?".

"Okay." She says. "I love you.".

I was somehow shocked from hearing such a heartfelt statement before. This is the first time she said that to me..."I-I love you too." 

"Bye." Her laughter hummed through the phone, before being cut off by the end of the call. 

I lower the phone from my ear. "What am I doing?" I slid down the wall, brought my knees to my chest and covered my face in shame.

"This isn't right..."....

I wake up on the floor, my eyes red and puffy. I used a wet face cloth to wipe the tears from my cheeks and eyes. After I clean myself up, i check the time,7:30 pm...

I get my things together, until I heard my doorbell ring. "Hold on!" I say, trotting down the stairs. 

I open it up to see Diana wearing one of my tour letterman's and a pencil skirt. She kisses, me and helps me with my suitcases. 

Wayne drives us to the airport, the place is swarming with screaming fans. "Looks like word got out." Wayne chuckles.

"Yeah, and fast."

With a slight giggle, Wayne and the other bodyguards escorted us through the herd of shoving, shouting fans Until we finally make it on the plane safely. 

Diana

Michael and I settled in our seats as the plane took a flight. I chose to paint my nails, knowing this flight is going to be pretty long. 

"The greatest thing you'd ever learn, is just to love a be loved in return. Oh and he loved in return." I silently crooned the rest to myself.

 "What is that?" Michael asks sitting back beside me.

"Nail polish." I say sarcastically.

"I know that, but I meant what were you singing?".

I screw the cap back into the bottle "Nature Boy Nat King Cole, 1948." 

He lifted his eyebrows surprisingly. "You really know your music, huh?"

"Mhm."

He removes his glasses, "Okay, who sang 'So listen listen my heart, lay your body close to mine, let me fill you with my dreams, I can make you feel so right, can you answer that?" 

Does he really think I don't know the answer to that question? 

"Michael Joseph Jackson 1982." a smile crept onto my lips. 

"I see, you've listened to my albums." he said with a whimsical grin forming slowly on his face. 

"Like you said 'Study the greats, and become greater'."...

Two hours pass by, I grab the sleeping Michael's wrist, checking his watch, 9:55. A twelve hour flight to Japan. We have ten more, plus thirty minutes to go. I tried everything to pass the time, but it only made it go by slower. Eventually, once I was out of activities, I'd fallen asleep with my head lying against the window. 

I started to have a very vivid dream: I revealed myself to a packed stadium, fans shouting my name "DI-AN-NA! DI-AN-NA!". I watched the effect I had on these people, much bigger than what I had on the people back in Minneapolis. Men and Women fainting and needing to be carried out, thrilled me to the core. This is what I've wanted, This is what I needed. 

The intro to Undress was played as I began to let my whole body move to the music 

"All my love is for fun.

If you keep me up on the one.

I'm so in love with you.

for love honey, I'll undo.

I just might take it off real slow.

Maybe even turn the lights down low.

You control my desire.

Undress your love, baby, take me higher.

Can you kiss me? 

Baby undress me." 

The audience claps and whistles along, a majority still shouting my name. "DI-AN-NA! DI-AN-NA!". 

I suddenly felt something, or someone, shake me. "Diana? Diana, wake up. we have to get to our hotel, right about now.". I open my eyes to see Michael hovering over me, both hands on my arms. 

"You're lucky you're gorgeous." I grumble, leaving my seat and the plane. 

Once we arrived at the hotel, I stuck my arms out horizontally and fell back into the soft bed, moaning and sighing in satisfaction. "Now this is what a girls deserves." I say letting the silk sheets carry my fingers like waves. 

"Well someone's enjoying themselves." Michael enters, struggling as he is carrying half his suitcases and half of mine. "You know you could've, at least, helped carry your own bags." He tosses them aside and falls into the bed sluggishly.

"But." I scooted closer to him. "My little knight in shining armor was kind enough to bring them up for me, wasn't he?" I rub his bicep.

"Stop that." He says.

"Stop what?" I ask innocently.

"That, you're acting all innocent to make me give into you."

"Am I?" I asked rhetorically. 

"Diana."

"Hmm?"

"Stop..." Vexation and struggle formed on his mug. 

"Ooh, is someone getting mad?" I trace my finger over his abdomen. I could feel it tighten, he was fighting me. 

"Ok. I'll go." I laugh a bit, removing myself from him and exiting the room. 

I could go for some giggle water.. 

I remove my shrug and say on the sofa as I dialed the front office."Hello, This is Diana Rockwell calling from room 140. Would you be a good boy and send up some grapes and a bottle of-" I searched the menu for something I'd be familiar with. "Uh, and a bottle of Ya-ma-zaki? Yeah! That one! Thank you." I hang up, now waiting for a drink I can barely pronounce.

About five minutes pass before a knock on the door sends me to it. A man, from whom I know works here, holds a tray with the bottle liquor and grapes. "You're Yamazaki, ma' m." He says, bowing with his thick Japanese accent.

 I take the tray, with a curtsy "Arigato."He shuts the door for me, as I set myself on the sofa again. 

Something's missing....A glass!

I search the kitchen for wine glasses, only finding bowls and plates. "C'mon. Ah! There you are!" I say looking at the glass like a proud mother. 

"Diana missed you! Mwah, Mwah." I reset myself on the sofa and poured myself a glass, then brought it to my lips. "Interesting." The taste of cherries lingered on my tongue nearly making me gag. It tasted like cherries soaked whiskey.

 It wasn't horrible, but the first sip hit me like Mike Tyson. I took a few more sips, eventually getting used to it and becoming a little tipsy.

 The room started to sway, with every movement my eyes made. My senses began to dull. I began to giggle, but it then turned into hysterical laughter. Nothing was funny, but everything was entertaining. 

Michael 

I exit the bedroom, after calling Charlene, hearing bubbly laughter from the living room. "What is so funny?". I chuckle."I dOn'T kNoW." she chortled, a brownish bottle in her grip. 

I peek over her shoulder. "Lemme see that." I reach for it. 

"NoOoO." She dragged drunkenly. Diana brought the liquor away from me. I fell on top of her, reaching for it. She drops the bottle, and gazes at me with suggestive grin on her face, her hand wrapped around the back of my neck.

I massage the bridge of my nose."What am I gonna do with you?".....
