Chapter 3 ❣︎︎ Michael!
    Selenas's POV

California, 1993

Today was my second day to work at Neverland. It was amazing. Being in Mr. Jackson's home. He was truly an amazing man. He was a bit older than me. He was dating super star Lisa Marie Presley.

They were a power couple. I bet he was a very romantic man. I wish I was Lisa. That I had a record deal. Millions of fans and a man like Michael at my side.

I was not as pretty as miss Lisa Marie was. I could only hope that I would meet Michael. And work well for him. That was what I held onto. To meet the man. Then one day I could tell my kids that I worked for him. And I met him. I sigh as I slip in to comfy shoes. I had cleaned my maid outfit and Suzettes outfit the night before. So, we looked good.

No harm in looking professional right? We had the logo Neverland on the corner of our outfits. I was humming a song I worked on with AB.

Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. It was a fun song. It made me want to dance. I did the washing machine dance my mom taught me when I was a girl as I get ready for work. I was now ready for work.

♥☆♥

"Sis I am glad I caught you before you headed off to work" AB says as he comes in my room.

"Don't you ever knock?" I grumble ar him.

I cross my arms as I stand there.

"You might want to know I happened to meet your boss yesterday" he announces with pride.

"You met Michael? What was he like? Tell me everything" I beg to know as I make him sit down on my bed beside me.

"He was a very kind man. He was impressed with me. I am not sure why. He saw me writing in my notebook. Our notebook. The song book. I was listing to his new hit album he played for us. I got inspired. And I was working on it. He asked what I was doing. He wanted to see it. He was blown away by your song you had been working on" brags AB.

Michael saw my music?!

"What? What did he say? What song?" I wonder.

I was in shell shock right now.

"Dreaming of you" says AB.

"My favorite one? He loved it?" I stammer.

AB nods. "He might try talking to you today. Heads up on that" he laughs.

"Wow oh wow!" I stammer.

"What is going on?" wonders Suzette. She looked curious.

"Sis you might just owe me a mcgriddle after all" I tease.

"Huh?" she says looking confused.

"Michael met AB at the radio station yesterday and they were looking over our music. And he liked my song" I brag with pride.

"That is amazing!" exclaims Suzette.

"Should I change my hair? Add more make up? What if we do meet today? I do not want to blow it" I worry.

"You look fine sis" says AB.

"You do as always" says Suzette.

We head downstairs to have breakfast before heading to work. Nervous butterflies jumble inside of me. 

Meeting Michael was all I hoped for. Now I hear he might want to meet me? That thrilled me deep inside of me. I spot Chris there in the kitchen putting hot sauce on his eggs that my sister made.

♥☆♥

"Do you always put hot sauce on everything you eat?" I tease him. "loser"

"Always" he laughs.

"Why are you here so early?" I ask.

"I crashed on the couch last night. We were up late at my gig" he tells me.

"Did you hear AB met the king of pop himself" I brag.

"I heard all about it. And he liked your song" says Chris. "good for you Sel"

"Thanks Chris" I say as I get some eggs from the pan onto a plate. I grab a piece of toast. I sit beside Chris at the table to enjoy breakfast.

"Hey babe. How are the eggs?" Suzette asks Chris as she wanders beside him and kisses him on the cheek.

"You know instead of rocking our couch you could get a job and get a place for your woman?" I mention to Chris. "you two could live in sin peacefully" I tease.

"Shut up, wise ass" laughs Chris.

"We will get our own place. Soon" says Suzette.

"Moochers" I joke.

We talk about future plans for our lives. Eat breakfast together. Mom and dad were heading off to another auction there in town. AB hands me our notebook. I glance up at him.

He tells me that he wanted me to bring it to work. In case Michael wanted to see our songs again. I doubted he would. He was a busy man. He would forget about us all by now. Then Suzette hugged Chris before we went on our way to work.

I feel more nervous then excited as we get closer to being at work. Would Michael want to meet with me? Over a song I wrote? Did I really have talent as AB and dad always claimed I did after all? I could only cling to the once of hope that was given to me today.

We park our van then head into Neverland. I see Opal was waiting for us.

♥☆♥

"There you are Selena. Michael wants you to head to his office right away" she warns me.

"Did I do something wrong?" I worry.

This was it. He really did want to meet with me!

"No nothing is wrong. Go see Mr. Jackson as he asked. Do not keep him waiting" warns my other boss.

I nod. "Certainly. I will go" I say.

Suzette nods them gives me the thumbs up.

I head down the hall way to Michael's office. I take a deep breath before knocking on his door. Then I knock. Here it goes! This was it!!

"Come in, I have been expecting you" He tells me.

I come inside. He was in a chair he was facing a computer so I could not really see him yet.

"Hello sir, it is my pleasure to meet you in person. How may I help you?" I ask him.

He turns around at last then stands up. He was so tall. Handsome. He smiles at me then I draw a blank. His brown eyes twinkled kindly at me. My heart races so loud I was nearly deaf now.

He looks a bit stunned as he smiles brightly at me. Our eyes locked on one another. He was so adorable. The smile. That hair. The way he dressed. He smelled so good. What was he wearing? My heart did not stand a chance for this meet.

♥☆♥

"Selena?" he asks me.

"The one the only" I joke. He extends a hand out to shake. I shake his hand.

"I met your brother yesterday. Your sister works here to?" he asks me.

"Suzette. Yes she does." I add.

"Does she sing and write to?" he wonders.

I shake my head. "No she plays drums"

"A girl drummer. Impressive" he says.

"Thanks. Our band never made it out there. We played a few gigs when was younger. Back in Texas. Classic songs. Oldies fun disco songs" I explain. "we played in clubs to amusement parks. But we ran out of funds to keep the band going"

"I see, that is hard" he mentions. "I started out young as well. With my brothers. Then I grew on my own"

"I know The Jackson 5" I say. He nods.

"I branched out on my own" he says.

"Why did you want to meet sir?" I ask. "if I may ask you"

"Well because I loved your song I saw your in your notebook. Can I see it again sometime?" he wonders. "it showed real talent"

"It did? My work?" I ask. I hand him my notebook out of my purse.

"You did bring it" he says.

I nod. "Either AB or myself keep it on hand" I say.

"I used to when I helped write music" he says. "I always thought when I retire I would like to discover and help other singers one day"

"Good idea you would be a big help to many" I agree.

He nods. "I do not plan to retire yet though" he chuckles.

"I better get back to work. I do not want to waist your time or money" I worry as I go to leave.

"Wait, Selena. You work for me. You can stay here as I ask. Right?" he wonders as he makes a face. He looks amused.

"Fine that is right sir. You do" I giggle.

"Could you get Suzette in here?" he wonders. "how would you maybe like to get a real band together?" he asks me.

"Are you serious?" I ask him.

He nods. "You guys write well. I would like to see how you sing Selena" he says to me in a serious tone.

I blush with pleasure. "Really? I do not know what to say"

"You could be my first hit. Right under my nose. And start my new business" he points out.

"Wow, let me go get Suzette" I gush with joy. I rush to find my sister.

"Michael wants to meet with you. He wants to hear me sing!" I brag as I grab Suzette by the arm.

"What?" she asks with shock. "are you pulling my leg?"

"No, he liked my song. He wants to hear me play and sing it" I brag. "come on!" I demand. I bring her back to Michael's office.

"You know ladies I am going on tour soon. I could use an opening band, do you think you could get a full album going in time?" he asks once he meets my sister.

"I am sure AB and I could get something finished" I vow.

"Wonderful. I have a music studio we can work from here right from my home" he says.

"But we don't have an extra guitar player" I worry.

"Chris" says Suzette. "Chris can join us"

"But what about his band?" I worry. He was not that reliable either.

"Chris would be thrilled to help us" she says.

"Well, there we go. Tomorrow we will meet here and begin the jam session" Michael tells us. "Lets get this started shall we ladies?" he asks me.

I nod. "Suze pinch me. Is this really happening right now?" I whisper to my sister.

"It really is Selena" she gushes with joy.
