Chapter 2
" Wake up, Dani !!! We don't want to be late. Kendall, hurry up in the bathroom. " " I don't want to go." I said pulling the sheets over my head. " Dani, I'm not gonna tell you again to get up." " Ugh....I betcha Michael Jackson doesn't have to get up early. He can sleep in all he wants. " " Why don't you ask him when you see him ?" My mom said.
*Michael's POV*
" Michael, it's time to get up. We got that meeting today." Jackie called out. "~sigh~ I bet normal kids get to sleep in on saturdays."Michael said " Just get up." Jackie called out again.
*My POV*
" You girls ready ?" My mom asked." I guess so. Do we really have to go with you ?" " Yes. You should be excited. Dani, are you excited ?" "I'm tired and we waste a perfectly good saturday going to watch you have a meeting with the Jacksons." " You're no fun when you're tired. Let's go." It was a 45 minute drive. We finally got there and was directed to a meeting room. Kendall and I sat next to each other. There were doughnuts in the center of the table. Kendall reached over to get one, but mom swated her hand away." Ha ha." I laughed. " Don't touch. It's for them." " All of them ?" " Yes. Look, here they come. Hello there, Mr. Jackson. Come in. Hi guys. Have a seat. These are my daughters. Kendall and Dani." There were five of them as I counted them off in my head. Kendall leaned over in my ear. " Where's the other one ?" " I was gonna ask you that." I said back. " Well, I just want to thank you guys for signing with us. Here you get to write and record your own music. " Mom said to them. " Hey, you notice the one across from us ?" " That one is Michael." " Why does he keep looking over here ?" " Maybe he likes you." " Or likes you. You're around his age, aren't you ? and besides I'm in college. I date college guys." " If you say so." Half an hour later, the meeting finally ended. We got up shook each other hands. " Hi. I'm Marlon. I don't think we actually met before. " " I know who you are. Nice to meet you." " Yea. My brother, Michael, over there is a little shy and he wanted me to talk to you through me." " You're brother got a mouth, don't he ?" " He's just really shy around girls. Give him a chance. Michael, come here. They're pretty cool." He slowly came over. " Hi." he softly. " Hi. I'm Dani and this is my sister, Kendall. Why are you so quiet ?" " I don't talk much around girls. " He said softly. " Yea, well we just wanted to meet you and we looked forward to seeing you real soon." Marlon said. " Bye." We watched them leave.
*Michael's POV*
As the boys were leaving, Marlon was talking to Michael, but he wasn't listening. He kept thinking about Dani. " Yo Mike, you listening ?" " Huh ? Yea. " " Those girls were kinda cute, huh Mike ? I liked the older one." " The other girl was pretty." "You know we're moving in next door to them ?" " Since when ?" "Joseph said so. " "Why does he always do this ?" "I don't know, man. At least we get to live next to some cute girls." " Whatever, man."
*My POV*
" See girls, it wasn't bad." " Nah, unless you like grown men who can't read a contract. He didn't even look at it before he signed it. Who knows what's in there ? It could've stated that we have ownership over all of them." Kendall said. " Dani, what do you think ?" " Y'all took forever. Half of the day is gone." " Its not like you got something to do at home. " "I got my drawing I gotta get back to. " " Well the deal is already made. Let's go home, girls." * Later that night, during dinner*
" Ok, girls. After dinner I want you to cleqn your rooms. " Mom said. " What ? Why ?" we asked. " Cause the boys will be here in the morning for their new house and we have to greet them. So, make sure your bathrooms are clean. Go on now. " Kendall and I walked to our rooms. " She acting like their house is in our rooms. " Kendall said. " Ha ha ha." We cleaned for the rest the afternoon. The next morning, mom woke us up early. She made us dress up. " Ma, I think you're taking this a little far. " I said. " Hush child. Were making a first impression. " " But they saw us yesterday. " "Doesn't matter. I just want you, girls, to look nice. They will be here soon, so be nice. " " This is ridiculous. They don't care how we dress, they only care about their music." Kendall said. " It doesn't matter now, cause here they come." A lincoln rolled up. They started filing out. " They look like one of those clown cars, all coming out like that. " I laughed atvthe thought of it. " Hush, be nice. " Mom said punching my arm. " Ow ! Now why did you have to go and do that for ?" " Remember what I said. Hello Mr. and Mrs. Jackson. Welcome to the neighborhood !" " Aww!! This a lovely home. Oh by the way, I'm Katherine. " Their mom said. " See Katie, I told you and the boys the place was fine. " Joesph said. " Would you like a tour of the place, Mrs. Jackson ?" Mom asked. " That would be wonderful, but what about the boys ?" She asked. " Oh my daughters could keep them company ?" "Oh really ? I mean if it isn't too much trouble ?" " No, they wouldn't mind at all, wouldn't you girls ?" " Uh..yea. What did we just agree to ?" Kendall asked me. " I don't know. I wasn't listening. " I answered back. " Oh. Thank you so much. Janet, I want you to take Randy's hand and follow him. Don't let go. " " Ok, mother. " The little girl said walking over to the second youngest.
