The Way You Make Me Feel - A Michael Jackson Love Story

Chapter 39- The Complicated Love

Tatiana's POV

Thanks to Paul, I feel much better and am physically ready for tour. We even started the soundtrack for The Bodyguard. Emotionally I am deciding to kick Rachel's ass, and break Michael's neck. Isn't it crazy how you could care for someone so much, and you still want to just...slap them?

"Hey girl, how are you feeling?" Sheryl asks as I arrive at the airport.

"Better." I mutter as I see Rachel. Greg whistles and looks at her up and down.

"Man, I swear if she wasn't a bitch......" Greg says. Sheryl and I shoot him a look. He looks at us defensively. 'Man I said if she wasn't!"

Sheryl snorts and looks away. "I can't believe Michael really thinks you and Greg hooked up. We all know Greg doesn't have the chance." Greg rolls his eyes and grabs his suitcase from the luggage pickup.

"So what are you gonna do?" Greg asks as we walk down the airport. I look at him and shake my head making my curls bounce.

"I don't know....try to survive this tour, and not go to jail for murder." I say. Greg smirks.

"Plead insanity.....she would make anyone go insane." he says. Sheryl and I laugh.

Michael's POV

I walk through the hotel's kitchen doors with Frank. I still haven't seen Tatiana yet, and I don't know how its going to be between us. We go to the elevator and go on our floor. And almost like clockwork I see Sheryl, Ricky, Greg, and Tatiana...

"Hey kids." Frank says.

"Hey Frank, I was wondering..." Sheryl starts to talk to Frank. I put my hands in my pockets. Tatiana and I eye each other without saying anything for awhile and we look away. She looks so beautiful; I don't want to be mad at her.

"Ready Michael?" Frank asks taking me out of my trance.

"Yeah." I mutter. Frank rolls his eyes and chuckles.

"Mike, relax. I know you and Tat are going to be all over each other before you know it."

"Yeah, right." I say blankly. He rolls his eyes.

"You kids are really something nowadays." he says. "Now when I was younger.." he starts to say. I roll my eyes.

"Here we go." I say laughing. "That must have been a loooooooong time ago." Frank gives me a light slap across the face. I laugh even more. He chuckles and puts his arm around me.

"Now let me tell you how I met Linda..." he says as we walk down the hallway.

Tatiana's POV

"That was hella awkward." Sheryl says as she hops on my bed.

"No kidding." I mutter. She shakes her head and laughs. "I know you guys love each other."

"Yeah I love him like a toothache." I mutter. She chuckles. "Well it's going to be extremely awkward for rehearsals and the concert....especially when you guys sing to eachother."

"You seriously had to remind me?" I mutter. She laughs. 'So what about you and Paul?"

"What about me and Paul? We didn't you know....it was so innocent." I say. "I mean Paul to me...is like Greg to us. A brother or something."

"Well Michael would be mad as hell if he found out."  she says. I roll my eyes.

"Michael has me so pissed off, I don't care. He should know I only care for him; and I would never cheat on him." I say brushing some hair off my shoulders.

"So your not going to tell him?" she says.

"No. I don't want to hurt his feelings." I tell her. She looks at me confused.

"But you just said you don't care..." she says.

"Uhm I don't." I tell her.

"Well you care for his feelings." she points out. I groan.

"Sheryl! It's just so complicated! I am in love with Michael, but I just want to push him in a lake!" I giggle at the thought of it. She shakes her head and chuckles.

"Young love...." she sighs playfully. I roll my eyes.

"Come on lets go, we have rehearsals." she says hopping off the bed. I groan.

"Kill me." I mutter as we walk out the door.

Michael's POV

Tatiana and I haven't talked yet. We just got done singing IJCSLY and she wont even give me eye contact. I think I definitely owe her an apology.....because the silent treatment is killing me.

We take a break from rehearsal and see Greg. I walk up to him feeling nervous.

"Hey Greg, can we talk?" I ask.

"Sure man, what's up?" he asks turning his hat sideways. I nervously clear my throat.

"So uhm....I owe you an apology--" Greg quickly cuts me off. "No worries man; just know that Tat thinks the world of you. She gets all giggly and shit when she talks about you." I blush and raise an eyebrow.

"Really?" I ask. He nods.

"Go talk to her bro!" I look over and see Tatiana with some of the female backup dancers and singers. I gulp and shake my head. Greg snickers.

"You scared?" Greg asks.

"Not necessarily....." I say stuffing my hands in my pocket. He smirks.

"Maybe I should call her over here.." he says. I start to protest and before I can stop him he starts to yell; "Tatiana! Come over here!" She looks up and I run away and hide. I hear her walk over to Greg.

"Wasn't Michael over here?" she asks curiously.

"Yeah...but he left. You want to talk to him?" he asks.

"Do I want to jump in a tank of alligators and snakes?" she asks. I wince a little.

"Well uhm, I think he does feel bad.." he starts to say. She cuts him off.

"Until an apology rolls from his mouth, then we are not talking. Or until he trusts me, and stops treating me like a baby." she hisses before walking away. I wait a few minutes and come out. Greg shakes his head.

"Man you definitely ain't getting the P tonight, unless you are on your knees begging for forgiveness." he says. I roll my eyes and groan.
