More than 200 women came to auditon for the part as my love interest. And it took hours to watch all of them. Finally I saw the girl that I wanted to be in the video and whan I saw her I knew that I had made the right choice. "I want her. She's perfect and the rest can just be extras." I announced as I pointed to a girl with long brown curly hair and brown eyes. As I was concerned auditons were closed as I had found my girl. I got up and Frank went to thank the ladies for coming but auditons were over.I walked out of the room and bump into Arianna, who was carrying a stack of papers and I helped her picked them up, which took her by surprise because she had been expecting for me to yell at her. As I handled them to her , I felt a current of electricity the moment that my hand touched hers and I looked at her as I wanted to see if she felt it too. I don't know why but i\I never realized that she had the prettiest eyes that I had ever seen. Her eyes were dark brown with golden flecks. I took that moment to study her more closely. Her long black hair which was usually curly had been straightened. She had a heart shaped face with pouty lips and a swanlike neck. She is so beautiful. No I take back. She's stunning. And that outfit looks so sexy on her. Why haven't I noticed that before? I thought. Whoa! Wait... hold up. What? Where the hell did that thought came from? I shook my head to clear it.
Arianna cocked her head to the side. "Michael are you ok?" she asked
I cleared my throat. "Yeah I'm fine." I said quietly
"Are you sure? You look like your going to be sick or something." she stated
"I said that I'm fine." I said sharply and she jumped. I felt bad as I didn't mean to be harsh."I'm sorry. I'm just tired. Look why don't you go home and I'll see you tomorrow? It's been a long day." I said quietly
Arianna nodded and walked down the hall to her office. I was still confused by what happen earlier. At that moment La Toya walked up to me. "I'm leaving." she said and hugged me.
I smiled. "Thanks for coming Toya." I said warmly. I was glad that she had agreed to be in the video and I was looking foward to us working together. I didn't really get to see her a lot and I knew that it was down to her asshole of a husband Jack Gordon. He was very controlling and demanding. And I hoped that he weren't abusing her because if i ever found that he put his hands on my sister; then I would beat the hell out of him. Yeah I know that you guys are shocked that I have a vicious side as I am a soft spoken person. Actually I really hate violence. But sometimes there is no other alternative and you have to be violent to prove a point. Well I was like that when it came to my family and friends. I hated Jack and I knew that the feeling was mutual for my family. So he was persona non grata at Havenhurst and Neverland.
This weren't the first time that La Toya was in one of my videos. Or as I prefered to call them short films. She was in Say, Say along with Paul McCartney. My younger sister Janet was in my Thriller video. She was one of the zombies. When I recorded PYT (Pretty Young Thing)La Toya and Janet helped me and they were the robotic voices that people would hear in the background.
"I saw the way that you were looking at her." she said smugly.
I stared at her blankly. "Huh? Pardon?"
"Your assistant Arianna I think that you like her Michael." she teased
"Who Arianna?" I stated and made a face "Your crazy Toya. Shut up." I glared at her.
She laughed. "Now I know that I'm right. Look at how your acting. Admit it you have a crush on your assistant."
I gave her an unimpressed look and even though I tried to hide it I started to blush slightly. She laughed again and I folded my arms.
"Aw is my widdle bwother getting upset?" La Toya spoke in a baby voice
Frank walked up to us. "Hey kid I just talked to Joe and Michael and we are all set to shoot next week." he stated with a smile. Then he saw that I looked annoyed. "What's going on?" he asked
"He's just mad because I'm teasing him because he has -" I cut La Toya off by covering up her mouth with my hand.
"What did she say?" asked Frank
"Nothing. La Toya was just leaving." I said as I gave her a pointed look.
"Yeah I have to go. Take care and Michael I'll call you later." she said
After La Toya left, Frank told me about the girl that i had picked for my short film. Her name was Tatiana Thumbtzen. She was 23 years old (I don't know how old she was when she worked with Mike.) and she worked as a model. Her agency had heard about the audition. So they had sent her over, figuring that she would be perfect for the part. Turns out that they were right. I told Frank to call her and tell her that she had the job. I decided that I would go to my office to get some more work done. As I walked there, I heard Arianna and I was surprised that she hadn't left yet. I was about to ask her why she was still here as I had told her to go home like about 20 minutes ago. And I heard her flirting with some guy. I rolled my eyes and walked in my office and closed the door. I thought about what La Toya had said earlier about me having a crush on Arianna. Yeah right like that was ever going to happen. Arianna Morales and I had nothing in common. She weren't my type at all and I would have to be stuck on stupid to ever have any feeling for her. My thoughts then shifted to Tatiana. Now she was really pretty and I would not mind getting to know her. I was dating Brooke Shields but we weren't exclusive and I knew that she was seeing other guys. I didn't care as we had an understanding that we was going to see other people. I could not help to smile as I thought about Tatiana. I could not wait for next week as I planned on getting know my co-star.
