"This way!"

"No, this is better!"

Making a choreography is never easy especially with the master. Whew.

"Play the song. I'll show you."

So, I play Streetwalker.

'Pretty baby
Kisses for your loving
I really get it when you're
Next to me yeah yeah'

"See? Like this. This suits better."

"Okay."

I stop the song and join in with Michael.

"1 and 2 and bam, pow!"

"Oh, yes! I get it."

"Let's move on."

Trust me when I say we're trying to finish making this in one day.

"You see I never met a girl, just like you. Come so easy, don't you break my heart 'cause I love you."

Hearing Michael singing softly to his own songs is my weakness now. He sounds so good.

"Mr.Jackson?"

Bill knocks on the door and Michael runs to him.

"Mr.Fields on the phone."

Trust me when I say I heard Michael's loud sigh and that was the loudest.

"Laura, I'll be back, okay?"

"Sure..!"

He goes out and closes the door. Well, I put on the song again and practise the very first part to be perfect.

After some minutes, I hear Michael talking really loudly on the phone. Is he okay? Ahh, I wish I had courage to ask him.

*door opens*

He looks frustrated.

"Michael, are you busy?"

"No, no..."

I walk to him.

"Are you okay?"

"Am I Annie now?"

"Jesus, I'm serious."

He stares at me for a few seconds and grabs my hand. Then, we sit on the floor. He drinks some water from his water-bottle and sighs.

"Michael, tell me. I know something's up with you."

"Tabloids."

"Yeah?"

"You don't believe in them, right?"

"Of course not."

"Rumours. Don't believe them."

"I never do."

"And-"

He suddenly holds my hand.

"Whatever... What-ever happens... Please trust me."

"Michael, what're you saying!?"

"Promise me!"

I'm kind of surprised at his tone of voice.

"I promise."

"With all your heart."

"With all my heart."

"Thank you."

"Michael, what's happening?"

"Bad stuff. Let's dance it off. Come on."

As usual, he's hiding from me again. But at least, he's open about his feelings.
