A few days have passed and it was getting closer to his tour date. The first show was in 3 days and they were rehearsing it. Michael went over the songs he was putting in the show and helped everyone dance to them. While they were on break from dancing, Michael had been thinking about Rebecca. 'I wonder how she's doing...I haven't seen her on twitter at all since our date. I'll check up on her.' He thought, heading into the lobby and getting on his laptop. He got on twitter and didn't see a tweet from Rebecca for 4 days. Not even to tell everyone that she's alright or anything. So, he decided to tweet to her: "Hey, you alright? I haven't heard from you in a while." He had waited the whole break, and no response from her. He sighed and closed his laptop and headed back into rehearsal.
At Rebecca's House
Those few days that had passed, Rebecca had been cleaning her room and the whole house for her mother. She hadn't minded it at all. She was used to it. Although, she was still in shock from that kiss Michael gave her. She was finishing up the living room and at the same time, she was listening to her music. Once she finished the living room, she went into her room and got on twitter. She noticed a tweet to her, saying: "Hey, you alright? I haven't heard from you in a while." She knew it was from Michael. She was distracted by working around the house, cleaning it up, that she didn't even know that she got this tweet 30 minutes ago. She tweeted back to him: "I'm fine, it's just...I have been really busy lately. Sorry if this tweet is so late." Then she put her phone down and went to the kitchen, putting the dishes away, cleaning the dishes, cleaning the counter and the stove, everything. She had been listening to Smooth Criminal while she was cleaning. Then, she heard her mother calling. "Rebecca!" She called out. Rebecca removed one of her earbuds. "Yes, mother?" She asked. "You got a call!" "From who?" "Crystal, she's wondering where you've been the past few days." "Got it." Rebecca picked up the phone and answered. "Yes?" "Where have you been, Rebecca?! I'm worried about you! I haven't seen you on twitter at all lately!" Crystal freaked out. "Crystal, I'm fine. I've been here at home, cleaning. I've just been in shock since my date." "Who did you date?" "Uh...you're not gonna believe this, Crystal..." "Try me!" "Michael Jackson. He took me out to lunch on my birthday a few days ago." There was silence on the line. "Crystal?" Then she heard a squeal. "Oh my God, Rebecca! Seriously?! You gotta tell me the deets! I'll be over soon! Bye! Love you!" "Love you too. Bye." Then they hung up. 'Jeez...Crystal makes a big deal from this...it was just a lunch date...nothing too special about it...unless...' She thought, finishing up mopping the floor. Once she was done, she put the mop up and poured out the dirty water. Soon, she heard the doorbell. She went to the door and saw Crystal there. "Come on in, Crystal." Crystal came in and sat down on the couch. "Deets?" She asked. 'Of course, she'll ask for the deets on the date as soon as she sits down.' Rebecca sat down and told her what happened. Once she got to the part where Michael dropped her off, she went silent. "What happened??" Rebecca turned her head, sighing, then turning her head back to Crystal. "He kissed me, Crystal...Michael Jackson kissed me." Crystal was in shock. "Where did he kiss you? Lips or cheek?" "Both." Crystal's eyes went wide and she got up and hugged her. "He could be the one you're looking for, Rebecca! He's a gentleman from what I've heard from Chris Tucker." "I don't think he's my type...I mean...well..." "You never know until you find out!" They heard Thriller playing and Rebecca knew that it was her phone, notifying that she's got a new tweet. They went to her room and Rebecca grabbed her phone and saw a tweet from Michael, saying: "That's fine, Rebecca. I'm just glad you're alright." She tweeted him back: "Okay. Thanks for worrying, Michael." A couple minutes later, he tweeted back: "No problem. I couldn't help but worry about you, Rebecca. You had almost scared me." She tweeted back: "Sorry if I gave you a scare, Michael. I was still shocked from that kiss you gave me." She waited for a while and then saw a tweet back from him, saying: "It's alright. I probably shouldn't have kissed you then. Frank told me to not always think the next girl I see is the right one for me." Rebecca was in shock. 'The next girl he sees??' She thought. "Want me to go now? Since I got what I needed to know. I'll see you in 3 days, Rebecca. Hope everything's alright with you and Michael." Crystal said and soon left. Rebecca was in shock at what she just read. She tweeted back: "What do you mean by that? I'm a little confused..." After two minutes, another tweet came back: "I can't tell you on here...I'm afraid others will read it. Do you have a phone number I can call? I'll tell you then." She send a private message to him on twitter, containing her number. She got off her phone and not even a minute later, her phone rang. She picked up. "Hello?" "Hey, this is Michael. Listen. What I meant was...I may like- wait...I may love you. You're the only girl that I can really be myself around. Other girls would squeal and such." Michael said. Rebecca was silent for a while. "Rebecca? You still there?" He asked. "I-I'm still here, Michael. I may love you, too, but..." "But what?" "I'm still getting over my break-up with my other boyfriend. I wasn't really expecting you to kiss me a few days ago. It was kinda unexpected. I'm sorry, but...we can still be friends for now, until I get over the break-up. Okay?" "Okay, I understand." "Thank you. I can promise you, we can be the best of friends, Michael." He chuckled on the other end of the line. "Alright." "Thanks for understanding, Michael. I appreciate that." "You're welcome, Rebecca. Will I be seeing you at my first show before the tour?" "More than likely, Michael. All you have to do is find someone who looks like you, but a girl, haha." She heard him laugh on the other end. 'Oh, his laugh is so cute!' She thought. "Alright. Well, I gotta let you go now. Frank is calling me back for rehearsals. I'll talk to you later." "Ok, Michael. Bye. Have fun rehearsing." He chuckled. "Alright, I'll try. Bye, Rebecca." Then they hung up. It was true what she told him. She was still getting over the break-up with Josh. At least she had some time to think about it, too...and the kiss Michael gave her on her birthday. She laid on her bed and looked at the ceiling, thinking. 'Oh what am I to do? I'm caught in this labyrinth of love...' She thought and closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
Back with Michael
They went over You Rock My World one last time. Chris Tucker was being his goofy self and Michael couldn't stop laughing. Frank noticed his laughing and stopped the rehearsal. "Michael, why do you keep laughing?" He asked. Michael pointed to Chris while Chris raised his hands like he was being arrested. "What did I do?" He asked. "Chris keeps making funny faces at me. I can't focus! Ahaha!" Michael said, falling on his butt, laughing still. Frank looked at Chris, who was still making faces at Michael. "Chris! Quit distracting Michael! He's trying to focus. We only have 3 days until the tour starts. Let's stop distracting others, Chris." "Okay, okay...sheesh..." Michael got up from his laughter fit and they went on with rehearsal. As soon as they finished, and they went home, Michael got in the limo and Bill started driving him home. Michael got on his laptop and got on twitter. He fixed things around on his profile, like his information and such. Once he finished, he closed his laptop. He sighed. 'I hope I can wait until she's over her break-up.' He thought. Soon enough, he was home and he went inside. He went into his room with his laptop and sat on his bed. He got on twitter one last time and tweeted to everyone: "Can't wait until the tour now. Chris may have made me laugh today, but I can't wait. Hopefully I'll see you all there! Love you all! Night!" Then as soon as he sent the tweet out, he changed into his pajamas and got into bed. He saw a private message from Rebecca, saying: "Hey, I read that tweet you sent out to everyone...I was wondering...tomorrow, could I possibly come see you guys rehearse? I haven't been to a rehearsal before." Michael wondered about it. 'I'd get to see her if she does come...I haven't seen her in a few days, so why not?' He thought. He messaged back: "Sure you can, Rebecca. I don't see any problem with it. Come on over to the studio around 10. That's when we start rehearsals." Then he sent the message to her. He's hoping she'd read it. He put his laptop on his nightstand and soon fell asleep.
With Rebecca
She was folding her clothes and putting them away after she had sent him that private message on twitter. She noticed that it was about 9:30 pm. Passed time to be in bed. She put the last of her clothes away and went back to her phone. She saw a message from Michael and read it. It said: "Sure you can, Rebecca. I don't see any problem with it. Come on over to the studio around 10. That's when we start rehearsals." She smiled and closed twitter on her phone. She changed into her pjs, putting her dirty clothes in her hamper, and got into bed. She turned her light off and soon went to sleep, awaiting for tomorrow to come.
