The day before we left, mama had another meeting with the Jacksons, but it was at our house. So I was the one who answered the door when it rang. "Hey Mr. Jackson. Come in." He replied by rolling his eyes. "Hey Jackie. How's it going, Tito ? Marlon, how are you ? What's happening, Randy ?" The last one to come through the door was Michael. He didn't even say anything, he just tapped his cheek, excepting a kiss from me. I was about to until I remembered what happened last night. I punched the mess out of his arm. "Oooww !! What was that for ?!?!" He said, rubbing his arm. "For waking me up in the middle of the night, last night. The least you could do is tell me what happened." "No !! I can't !!" "Why not ?" "I'll tell you when we're in Vegas. My brothers might hear us." "So ?" "I'll explain it you later. Ummm...can we go to your room ?" "Mmmm.....if you want to." Right before we got to the first step, his dad blocked us. "Where do you think you're going, boy ?!" he asked. "Just upstairs to talk to Dani about the show." "What did I tell you about hanging out with this girl ?" "Joseph, I don't understand. You let Jermaine see Hazel and you let Tito see DeeDee. How come I can't hang out with Dani ? She didn't do anything to you." "She's a girl and she'll mess up this group." "Ummmm.....excuse me ?! You got it all wrong, Mr. Jackson. I love this group. Why would I mess it up ?" "You're gonna be in the way." "When am I ever in the way ?" "Mr. Jackson, may I say something ?" Mama chimed in. "What ?" Joseph said. "First of all, I need you to drop that attitude real fast, ok ? And second, if you ever talk to my daughter like that ever again, I will personally send you to jail and you'll never have a job in this country again. Got it ?" "Ok. Ok. I'm sorry, Diana." He said. "It's Dani." Michael corrected him. "Ok. Since that's taken care of, lets get down to business. Dani, y'all can go upstairs, but leave the door open." "Ok mama. Come on, Michael." We rushed to my room. "That was interesting. Ha ha." I said. "Yea. Ummm...Dani ?" "Yea ?" "Do you like my dad ?" "What do you mean like ?" "I mean do you like like my dad ?" "No. Why ?" "I was just thinking." "So how's your brother, Jermaine ?" I asked sitting on the bed, next to him. "Ummm.....he refuses to talk to Joesph. He will only talk to mother." "Oh. Do you wanna call him and talk to him ?" "It's worth a shot." "Here. You can use the the phone that you called me from AT 4 IN THE MORNING !!!" "Sorry." He dailed the number. "Hello ? Jermaine ? It's Michael. Yea, I'm fine. I had another one of those dreams again. Well, I have one now. Thanks. I won't. Listen, we're doing Vegas tomorrow. I want you to come. Please ? Yes, he'll be there. Jermaine, how I can look to my left and you're not there ? Atleast just come, you don't have to do anything. Please ? I need my big brother. Ok. Bye." Click. "What did he say ?" I asked. " He doesn't want to be around Joseph and he might come, but just to sit in the audience." "Michael, it's to go. Come down now !! Marlon yelled from downstairs. "I'll see you in the morning, girl." "Bye Mike." After the Jacksons left, Mama and I got ready for the morning.
