The volgende day, Rebecca woke up at around 8 o'clock. She remembered what she read last night and smiled. 'I get to watch the master at work. It's gonna be amazing.' She thought. She got out of bed and went to her closet to grab her clothes for today. She changed out of her pjs and into a pair of blue skinny jeans, her white v-neck t-shirt, and her white button up overhemd, shirt with a black stripe on the right sleeve. She went to her drawers and got her white socks and put them on. Then she went back to her closet to grab her black trainers. Even though she hid the fact that she was still recovering from the break-up with Josh, she was excited to see Michael. (Me: When she dated Josh, they never kissed...so her 1st kiss was saved for someone special...and it so happened to be Michael.) She looked at the clock to see that it was 8:30am, so she had some time to kill before she headed out to the rehearsals. She went into the bathroom and brushed her hair thoroughly. Ever since an incident last jaar with her cousins (Me: pushing her in the pool! XD), she's had to do this every morning. She didn't like it when her cousins teamed up on her like that. She definitely knew how Michael felt. She looked at the clock again to see that it was 9am. She got out of the bathroom and saw her mother in the living room. Her mother turned to her. "Where are u going, Rebecca?" She asked. Rebecca turned to her. "I'm going to see Michael at rehearsals. I'll be back later." She said. "Okay, have fun." "I will. Later!" "Oh, your cousin may be there, too. Tell him to come home pagina with you." 'Cousin? I have a cousin?' Rebecca thought. "I'll tell him. Don't worry." She lied. Then she headed out the door with her keys and drove off to the studio.
At the studio
It was around 9:30am when she arrived at the studio. She walked up to the door and it was unlocked. 'Huh...that's strange...' She thought, walking in. She walked around and was in awe. "This place is huge..." She zei to herself. She soon found the stage and walked on it. She felt like she was returning home pagina from years of being away. "Hm...since nobody seems to be around yet...I think I'll dance a bit." She got out her mp3 and her speakers and placed it on the stage floor behind her. She thought maybe she should do Billie Jean, since it was easy. She was going through every move: the moonwalk, the toe stand, the crotch grab, everything. While she was dancing, Michael came into the room with the others and told them to be quiet once they saw her on stage. They sat down and watched her dance. As soon as she finished, everyone clapped and she jumped. "Oh holy ra! u guys scared me!" She said, grabbing her chest. Michael stood up and so did this guy, Chris Tucker. Rebecca looked at Chris and thought he was familiar. She remembered having pictures taken with him when she was little. 'Could he be...' She thought. Michael walked up on the stage and walked over to Rebecca. "Glad u can make it, Rebecca." He said, smiling. She looked at Michael and could have sworn her hart-, hart had just melted. 'His smile...it's so hart-, hart melting.' She thought. He hugged her and she hugged back. Chris was a little curious, but wanted to wait a while until he asked. They broke from the hug and Michael guided her off the stage and into the audience, front row. He had her sit down and he was debating on something. Rebecca rolled her eyes. "If it's to kiss my cheek, u may." She told him. He chuckled and kissed her cheek before heading back onto the stage. They started rehearsals door starting off with Billie Jean. Rebecca watched every verplaats Michael made. The volgende song they went into was u Rock My World, and that was when Chris would be his dorky self. They had gone through every part perfectly in every song until it was time for a break.
Break Time
Michael panted and walked off the stage and over to Rebecca, who was standing up with a hand towel for him. He grabbed it and wiped his face. "Thanks so much, Rebecca." He said. Rebecca giggled. "I'd figure you'd need it, Michael. It was the least I could do." She told him. Chris soom came over to them and put his arms around them. "Hey, hey, hey, love birds." He told them. Michael chuckled and Rebecca blushed slightly. "Chris, we're best friends. Not love birds." Michael told him. "I can tell u two like each other. How long have u two been going out?" "Chris!" Rebecca said, hitting him on the back of the head. "Ow! What was that for, little cousin?" Chris turned to her with his hand behind his head. Rebecca was in shock. 'Chris...is my cousin?!' Rebecca thought. "For being a dorky cousin, Chris." She told him. "I'm always that way, u know that." "I know...anyway, Michael and I only went out once. I swear." "Alright, alright. I believe you." They then headed out into the lobby just to chat and catch up on what's been going on. Then Chris's stomach growled. "Well, I'm gonna leave u two love birds here. I gotta get a couple things done before rehearsals start back up. Later!" He said, leaving Rebecca and Michael alone. Rebecca was on the chair and Michael was on the couch. It was silent for a while, until Michael spoke up. "Why don't u come sit over here volgende to me, Rebecca? I don't bite." She got up and sat volgende to him cautiously. She was a little nervous sitting volgende to him and he could tell. How can he tell? He saw her playing with her hands and her little bag. "There's no need to be nervous, Rebecca. I'm not gonna do anything to you." "I know...it's just...I'm still nervous, u know?" Michael turned her face with his hand and had her face him. She wasn't expecting this to happen next. He leaned in and kissed her gently. She didn't know how to react, but she actually allowed it. She wound up kissing back. Once the kiss was released, she laid on his lap and looked up at him. He could tell she was a little tired. Soon enough, the break was over and Chris came to get them. They went back into the studio and Rebecca continued watching them dance.
After rehearsal
Once rehearsals were over, Rebecca stood up and Michael and Chris walked over to her. "Chris, my mother is expecting u to come home pagina with me. She told me to tell u that." Rebecca said. "Alright! I haven't been over in forever." He zei and she giggled. Chris was the first out of the studio, Michael and Rebecca following, hands cupped. Chris got into her car and she went to the driver side with Michael. She turned to Michael and smiled. "Thanks for letting me come see u guys rehearse, Michael." "It's no trouble whatsoever, Rebecca. Feel free to come door again and watch." He zei to her with a smile. "Alright. I'll see about it. Well, I gotta get home pagina with Chris. Rather shocking how he's my cousin, huh?" "Yeah, it is. Well, u better get home pagina before your mother worries. I'll call u tonight." "Alright. Bye Michael." He gave her a kiss. "Bye Rebecca." She smiled, got into the car, and soon drove off. Michael went to his limo and Bill started driving him home. The whole ride, Michael was thinking about Rebecca and how she actually allowed him to kiss her. Rebecca was thinking about Michael while talking with Chris. She couldn't believe she actually let him kiss her and she actually kissed him back. 'Labyrinth, I think I'm finding my way through you.' She thought. The whole drive home, they were laughing at different jokes he told.
