The Way You Make Me Feel - A Michael Jackson Love Story

Chapter 95- Rehearsal

"Oh, is that right?" Frank raises his eyebrows. "Well, welcome back. It's good to see you again."

"Thank you." I mumble.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine, thanks for asking."

"Alright, that's... that's good. Uhm...I like the new look..." Frank nods gesturing to my hair awkwardly with his cigar, still trying to take in the fact that I am back on the BAD tour, or even in his presence. "Michael, I'll catch on with you later." And with that, awkwardly, he walks away.

I continue giving him the Kanye face watching him walk away.

"I don't like him." I say flatly as I look back down flipping through the papers.

"Why not?" Michael asks.

"Because I don't." I shrug before walking away leaving Michael standing alone.

Michael's POV

"I hear your voice now; you are my choice now, the love you bring..." Tati sings softly as she enters out of her wing and into center stage, to meet me. "Heaven's in my heart, at your call I hear harps, and angels sing..."

And feel my body suddenly relax at the sound of her voice, as my mind suddenly drifts off.

**FLASHBACK**

Recording 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You,' 1987

"I just wanna lay next to you for a while

You look so beautiful tonight...

Your eyes are so lovely

Your mouth is so sweet

A lot of people misunderstand me

That's because they don't know me at all

I just wanna touch you

And hold you

I need you,

God I need you

I love you so much..."

I read out softly and seductively, never looking away from her eyes as I get prepared to sing my next part.

"Each time the wind blows, I hear your voice so... I call your name." I sing in the microphone staring at her.

Little did she know I was singing about her...

**FLASHBACK OVER**

And it's later on in the song when I actually start to touch her the way I always did when they performed their song together.

"You know how I feel, I won't stop until..." A hand sliding down her thigh, "I hear your voice saying I do..."

"I dooo..." She coos, trying to get her mind off his touch. "This thing can't go wrong..."

"This feeling's so strong..."

This would be my only excuse to touch her the way I once did, because when I'm on stage I don't really control what I do. I let the music take over my body.

And I had to admit to myself...it felt complete to perform with the love of my life.

And when the song is over the entire crew applauds, claps, whistles—something they never do, and something they weren't supposed to do since after "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," "She's Out of My Life" starts right after. It showed that they too enjoyed having Tati back, and would love to make her feel more at home.

She blushes lightly as she fiddles with the mic.

"You did great..." I tell Tatiana. "You already had amazing vocals, but your voice is even stronger..."

She smiles and tucks in the back of her David Bowie shirt, in her high waist jeans.

"Keep it up." I tell her.

"Thank you." She smiles smirking lightly. "Not bad yourself..." she says as she walks away.

I smile to myself looking down, chuckling.

I have everything I could want now....except one thing.
