,,Awww,sweetheart.......don't you tell me that no boy looked at you...." she said.

I sighed.......why she has to bring everytime this subject?

,,I don't know,mom.....maybe they did...maybe they DIDN'T.......who cares? I'm not going to ,,catch" men....men have to ,,catch" women,as you say......." I replied.

,,I know,Ariel......but---ok,ok....I'll drop this subject...." she FINALLY said.

I smiled. ,,Thank you,mother!"

,,....for NOW...." she continued,speaking slowly.

,,I HEARD THAT!" I said giggling.

,,OK.....SO.......anything new,my dear?"

,,Oh...not really...." as I looked around smirking that she didn't know. ,,....I'm just going to the office as usual and do my job..."

,,Ah...about that...how are your new parteners?" she asked.

,,They're great! And guess what? I even have a colegue in my office! Her name is Efia.She's adorable!" I said excited.

,,Really now?I'm happy to hear that!"

,,How's everyone out there?" I asked.

,,Well...your father is just as you know him....and your brother has started the hip-hop dancing lessons..."

,,Ohhh....hip-hop you said?....Interesting........tell those two that I said ,,Hi!" and that I LOVE them!" I said,smiling.

,,I will,and what about me?" my mother said in a fake painful tone.

,,Mom.....you know what I'm going to say..." I replied,laughing.

,,I know,darling......I'm glad that I've talked to you....I miss you so much!You should come over!"

I smiled and said. ,,I will mom...I will...but for now...I'm very busy.....with SOMETHING....."

,,What's that ,,SOMETHING" ?" she asked.

,,Ermm.....nothing....you'll see and find out at the right time...Bye mother!" I quickly said.

,,Ok.....Bye,Ariel....Love you!" 

,,Love you all!" I replied as I closed the phone.

I looked over at the clock.

9:30 A.M.

A lot of time.

I went to get my belongings and walked straight to the bus with the others.

-----------

11:24 .

At the rehearshals.

(the ANZ stadium in Australia)

,,But the kid is not my son!" we sang along with Michael.

He was showing us how tho sing ,,Billie Jean"

It was BEAUTIFUL!

,,Thank you! Ok,let's take a brake now..." He said.

The dancers and singers started to walk away from the stage but as I was walking with them,he called me.

,,Ariel?" he said softly.

I smiled,then turned to him.

,,Yes,Michael?" 

,,I-I want you to know that you don't have to dress too fancy this evening.....just normal,casual...as you prefer....." He said.

I smiled shyly at him.

He did too.

,,No problem,Michael...."

He nodded. 

,,Michael!" His manager shouted.

FRANK.

He has to ALWAYS interrupt our moments,right?

,,Yes,Frank?" Michael responded.

,,Come over here for a few minutes!" He said.

,,Ok...I'm coming..." as he looked at me apologetically.

I said. ,,Go on....he needs you..."

He smiled at me and leaved.

I sighed,watching him.

-----------------------------

7:00 P.M.

One hour to prepare.

I wasn't going to get crazy with this ,,date" if I can call it like that,but I want to look decent.

So I choose this :

I didn't put any make-up because I LOVE to look as natural as possible.

My hair was brown and curly-it's natural.

Done!

7:50 P.M.

The door bell rang.

I walked slowly towards it.

Then opened.

Awww!

Again with the FLOWERS....

So sweet of him...

,,Hello!" He said,shyly looking at me.

,,Hello,Mr.Jackson" I answered.

He giggled. ,,You know....you don't have to call me like that...we're friends,you know?"

I smiled,blushing . ,,Yes,I know,Michael....you've came with 10 minutes early...." I teased him.

He smiled. ,,I know....I just wanted to make sure that I'm going to be here at the right time..."

I blushed even more.

,,These are for you..." He said as he handed me slowly the GORGEOUS flowers.

I gently took them and said ,,Thank you so much,Michael...you know...you didn't have to buy flowers for me....but that's so sweet of you..."

,,I know,....but I wanted to...." He responded.

I put them in a vase and walked at the door again.

,,Come on....there's something I want to show you...." Michael gently whispered.

I smiled and followed him.

,,You look LOVELY by the way...." Michael stated,while looking at me.

I blushed even more if it was possible.

,,Thank you,Michael...you look very nice too...."

He smiled. ,,Thank you...." 

We walked to an elegant car and the driver took us to a SUPERB restaurant.

Michael walked out first then extended his hand to me.

I slowly accepted it and walked with him into the place.

When we reached inside,there were only a few people in there.

Immediately,a waiter came and walked us to our table.

The view was........................BREATHTAKING , I'd say....

,,Wow....Michael...this is....." I said slowly....

,,.....Beautiful....." he continued.

I nodded.... ,,....More than that."

,,..........not as beautiful as you..." He said very slowly,barely above a whisper,while I was looking out on the window.

I turned to him.

,,....Did you said something?" I asked,unsure if I heard well or not...

,,N-No....nothing...." Michael said,blushing.

,,OK....." I said.

,,So....how have you been doing these days? I've love to know more about you...." Michael said.

I smiled gently. 

,,Well I--------"
