45...Distant
~Jada's POV~
It's been 2 months since that date Michael and I had and everything's going great but Michael's seemed distant lately. Like he's hiding something from me. Every time I question him on it, he just denies that he's keeping any secrets from me and says that he's just stressed from working on his upcoming album. I can tell that he isn't telling the truth when he says that but I always let it go.
"Hey, babe." Michael smiles at me as he walks in the door from the studio.
"Hey. How was the studio?" I ask and he nods.
"Good. Got a song done. Now I just have one more to work on before the whole album's finished and ready to be released. I Just Can't Stop Loving You is gonna be on it!" He smiles and I smile back.
"That's great! What's the album gonna be called?" I ask curiously.
"Bad." He says and I nod.
"Cool."
"So where are the girls?" He asks.
"I brought them to your mother and Joseph's place. They wanted a visit with them." I say.
"You mean, Mother did." He says as he clenches his jaw, obviously still upset at Joseph.
"Michael, what happened with Joseph was 2 months ago! It's time to get over it! He was actually happy to see them when I went over to drop them off. The smile on his face was priceless!" I smile and he rolls his eyes.
"What's his sudden change of mood?" He mumbles.
"No, Michael. What's your sudden change of mood?! You've been so distant with me lately, it's like I don't know you any more! And you're hardly here! You're always at the studio! The only time you're home is to visit the kids quickly before going back to the studio and at night! You hardly talk to me! It's like you're keeping a secret from me! Why are you always avoiding me, huh? Tell me, Michael because I wanna know!" I shout and he jumps.
"I don't avoid you! And I'm not keeping anything from you! I'm just focused on my album and I'm having a little stress. I'm sorry for not talking to you as much, J. I really am." He says and I just slump on the couch.
"It just hurts because lately, the only time you ever talk to me is to tell me you're going to the studio, when you want food, or when you want sex. I wanna talk to you, Michael! I don't feel connected with you like I used to." I sigh and he looks at me sympathetically.
"I'm so sorry, baby. I do admit that I don't talk to you a lot anymore. I was just so focused on my album to get it finished that I wasn't really thinking about anything or anyone else and I'm really sorry about that. Can you forgive me?" He gives me puppy eyes and I can't help but smile at his cuteness.
"Yes, I forgive you, Michael." I giggle and he smiles.
"Good. Thank you." He smiles and kisses me on my lips.
We break apart and his phone starts ringing. I look at the Caller ID and it says 'LMP' on it.
"I gotta take this call." He says, getting up from the couch before leaving the room.
Who is this LMP? I can't help but wonder. Is it a man or a woman? So many questions flood my mind as I sit there in wonder.
About 20 minutes later, Michael comes back in the room and sits by me.
"So who's this LMP person?" I ask curiously.
"Nobody important." He smiles at me and I nod.
"Okay." I frown.
"So you wanna eat lunch together?" He asks and I nod.
"Let's go."

After lunch, we pick up Jedell and Rylee and I still can't seem to get the wonder of who this LMP person is off my mind. Like Michael said, it's nobody important. But still, I wanna know who it is. Probably just someone who has to do with the album.
I shrug it off and we get back to Neverland where we see Michael's friend, Jordan, waiting for him. Jordan's just a young boy and Michael and I both think he's a great kid but I've always had this weird feeling about his father. I've just always gotten a bad vibe off him like he's not trustworthy.
We get out of the limo and Michael and the girls all run to Jordan. I walk up to them and chuckle at the sight of Michael and the three children surrounding him, all laughing and playing around. Michael seems so happy around all three of them and I often get jealous because I feel like I can't make him that happy anymore. I know that if I told Michael this, he'd say that I'm crazy and that I do make him really happy but I can't help how I feel.
Michael and the kids run around all the trees and play around so I just go inside and clean up our room a bit.
A/N: Sorry for the short update. I'm having a little bit of writer's block. Sorry. I might skip the story ahead a few years though. Right now, it's 1985 and I might skip it ahead to 1990. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed! I love you all so much! Don't forget to vote, comment, and share! Much L.O.V.E.💗🌹
