 Tatiana's POV

"Thank you so much for doing this interview, you don't know how excited we are to have you." one of the producers grins as they attach mics to my blouse. 

"It's great to be here.." I shift in my seat slightly giving a smile. Michael decided it would be a good idea to have us do interviews with NBC nightly news to promote the Bad Tour--which was rare at times since he like to keep up a mysterious persona and liked his crew to do the same. 

"You're gonna do great.." he chuckles, his back turned to me as he writes on a sheet of paper. "Don't worry.."

"Easy for you to say, since you aren't doing it." I mutter. "Can't Sheryl or someone do it?"

"She is--so is Jennifer and Ricky." he pauses for a moment. "And Frank will be there." he shrugs. "Things should go pretty smooth." 

"Please don't make me do this." I groan.

"Why not?"  he turns around raising an eyebrow. "You've done interviews before."  

"Because they'll ask why I came back and--" 

"Just answer honestly." 

"And if they ask about us?"

He stays silent for a moment as he turns back around clearing his throat, as he continues writing whatever he was working on; "How do you want to answer it?"

I stare at his back before looking down, leaning against the wall, tracing the designs on the cream wallpaper. "I-I don't know if I'm ready to--I want to just enjoy us and how we are now." 

"Mhm.." he says in a tone where I can tell he isn't completely listening. 

"Michael.." I sigh out. "Are you even paying attention to what I'm saying?" 

"Hmm?" he turns out. "Oh yeah--I'm listening." he says as I give him a look.  

He chuckles putting down his pen as he gently pulls my arm, making me sit in his lap

He chuckles putting down his pen as he gently pulls my arm, making me sit in his lap. "Tatiana--stop stressing about this. It'll be fine. As for us--" he chuckles softly lying a soft kiss on my cheek. "I'll handle it, okay? Just relax, baby..." 

I was hoping that they would have Jennifer, Sheryl and I together for the interview--but of course they decided to do it individually one one one. And now I'm here, getting wired and ready to be drilled on national television. Which wasn't new; but at the same time I was scared about the questions I was to be faced with. 

"Tatiana?" 

I look up as the interviewer comes up to me. She smiles widely, reaching out to shake my hand. "I'm Shelly..I'm conducting the interview. I'm such a huge fan.." 

I smile as I shake her hand. "Thank you--and thanks for having me." 

She sits down across from me as a makeup artist rushes over touching over her face rushing off, before a cameraman yells.
