Mariah Rein's Pov 1988

Light shun throughout my bedroom as my maid Mary opened up each one of the curtains. I groaned. "5 more minutes Mary please." I said putting the pillow over my face. She shook her head and pulled the covers right off of me. A whiff of cold air hit my legs causing goosebumps to arise. "No get up your manager called and said she will be here in 20 minutes to talk business with you so get up and get ready." She said sternly before smiling and making her way out the door.

I noticed I'm not gonna win this battle so I got up and took a hot shower after brushing my teeth and washing my face. I wrapped the towel around me and blow dried my hair. I threw my hair in a messy bun and pulled on my yoga pants and threw each leg. I put on a sweatshirt that said UNI on it and walked into the kitchen with coffee sitting right by the island table. I rubbed my eyes and made my way over to the cup and sat down watching Mary cook.

"Hey Mary what made you want to be a maid." I asked bringing the hot coffee up to my lips. "Oh I was always a neat freak peruse and I loved helping and cleaning for people so I decided to be a maid and luckily I'm working for you." she said flipping the pancakes that were in the pan. I smiled a little. "Thanks Mary. You've helped me alot and not just by cleaning the house." it's true she has. When my mom died Mary was by my side comforting me through the whole thing.

The bell rang and I saw Mary about to make her way over to it. I held up my hand. "Don't worry I'll get it." I said hopping off the stool and making my way towards the large white designed door. I opened it and saw my manager Sarah dressed up in her usual business suit and shades. "hey Sarah come on in." I said opening the door and gesturing towards the living room.

She smiled and thanked me as her heels clicked throughout the house. I closed the door and made my way to wear she was sitting and sat on the couch opposite of her. "So what's up?" I asked bringing my knees to my chest. "We'll I got a call today and you'll never guess who called." she said smiling brightly. I raised my eyebrows waiting for her to continue.

"Frank Dileo!" she said clapping excitedly. My eyes widened at his name. "W-what did he want?" I studdered. "He wants you to do a duet with his client and your not gonna imagine who his client is." she said even more excited. "I think I have a pretty good idea." I said smiling wide. "Your going to be doing the 'I just can't stop loving you' duet with the one and only MICHAEL JACKSON!" She finally said.

My eyes widened again and I screamed a little. "WOOOHO!!" I said running throughout the house. I dodged all the tables that were around the house as I ran. I sprinted into the kitchen to find Mary with her back towards me. "Mary!" I said excited. She jumped and put a hand over her heart. "Child your gonna give me a heartattack. what is it?" she asked noticing my excitement. "I'm sorry. Also Im gonna be doing a duet with Michael Jackson!" I said jumping. She smiled wide and came over to hug me.

"I'm so proud of you Sweety!" she said squeezing me a little in the hug. I whispered out a thank you. "Mariah your going to be recording today so make sure your ready by 10:00am." she said sternly pointing a finger at me. "Oh and by the way I'm proud of you." she said before making her way out the door. I was still smiling wide and so was Mary. I looked over at the time and noticed it was 9:30. The smile was wiped off my face. She noticed and turned her attention towards the clock. "Oh deary we got to get you dressed!" she said as we made our way to my closet.(Picture of Mariah Rein on the Side)

Michael Jackson's Pov 1988

I woke up to an empty spot right next to me knowing that Lisa went to work. I rolled off of my back and got up before making my way into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face. I looked at my skin and noticed a few more blotches. I sighed loudly and turned my attention away from them.

I hated the vitiligo I had. Espicially the stories they wrote about me in the tabloids saying I bleached my skin. Now what kind of sense does that make? I shook the thoughts away and took my shower. once I got out I heard the phone next to my bed ring. I tied the towel around my waist tight before making my way over to the phone.

"Hello?" I said. "Mike my man you know that recording your doing with Mariah Rein today?" Frank asked muffled. Me knowing Frank he probably has a cigar in his mouth pushed to the corner. "Yea how could I forget." I said walking around my room. "Just came to call to tell you it's been changed it's now at 10:00am instead of 12:00pm." He said. I groaned a little in frustration as I rubbed my forehead. "Ok I'll try not to be late." I said before licking my lips.

"You better not Mike this is really important." Frank said seriously. I made funny faces as he talked. "Yea I know I'll see you at the studio." I hung up the phone and immediately got dressed. I put on a red button up shirt and black slacks with my famous white socks and penny loafers. I put on a big red jacket with a design on the arm of it and in the front.I tied my hair in a lose ponytail and let a few curls hang on the sides.

I put on my RayBans and made my way outside of the house and got into the black car that was waiting. "studio please." I said. the car started to move as I tapped my foot to the music that was playing through the car. After a while Bill tapped my shoulder and said we were here. I finally can't wait to meet her.
