In the Closet Part 1

July 19th, 1992

Sunday, 3:09AM

Michael was laying in bed, sleeping peacefully, at least that's what it seemed. He made a face and turned his head. He was dreaming...

Michael was running through a dark alley, these men in dark suits were following right behind him. The thing was, they were walking, yet still keeping up with him. No matter how fast he ran, they always caught up with him. Michael turned the corner and ran into this big opening area surrounded by buildings. Stopping, he looked around. His breath came out like ice during the winter, he bent over to regain himself.

Michael tossed himself to the other side of his bed and groaned.

" I think I lost them..." he said quietly. All was great until he heard some type of animal cry. A horse. Michael turned around slowly, and what stood behind him was this big black stallion. The rider got off it's back and walked up to him. Michael tried his hardest to run but he couldn't.. His legs went numb, making him fall to his knees in defeat.

He moved into fetal position and hugged the covers, mumbling in his sleep.

" You chose the wrong thing, Jackson." he said in a rough voice. Fog began to surround them, the horse was gone, it was nothing but Michael, the man, the buildings... He lifted a gun up to his head and squeezed the trigger...

Michael jerked out of his sleep into total darkness, right as he was about to be shot in that horrified dream. Not caring about the time, he got out of his bed and walked to his door. Trying not to make to much noise, he opened the door and crept across the hallway into the kitchen. He walked to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of water, and sat at the table.

He whispered quietly to himself," I hope that dream didn't mean anything," he takes a sip," besides, I rather be good anyway... I think." he sat there in his thoughts.

" Michael?" he looked up to see where that faint whisper came from. Shauna was awake, Michael got up and walked to her swiftly. " Hey, I didn't wake you did I?" he muttered softly. She shook her head no," I was coming to get me something to drink." Michael moved himself back to the refrigerator and got another bottle of water, went back to Shauna to give it to her. She gladly took it and said," Thank you but I could have gotten it myself."

Michael smiled down at her," Anything for a friend." Shauna grinned shyly. He pulled her in for a hug, kissed her forehead and said," Sleep well. Goodnight."

She didn't want to bother him by asking why he was up in this ungodly hour, so she just wished him a goodnight and headed back upstairs. Michael went back to his room and turned on the TV. Figuring he wouldn't get back to sleep, he just stayed up until morning time.

6:00 AM

Just as he was finally about to get some more sleep, his alarm clock off, and he groggily reached over to push the off button. The sun was seeping through the silk curtains, illuminating the room from it's darkness. Michael sat up tiredly, knowing he needs to go get ready for the conference. He rose from the bed and walked into the bathroom, turning on the shower.

...

The girls were already awoke since they had gone to bed early last night, because Jason had tired them out. They were all in the living room waiting for the chef to make breakfast, watching TV. The only maid that was present there walked into the room. She was holding a stack of clean white bath towels in one hand and on the phone.

" Okay... Okay, I'll be there." she was telling the person on the other end. she hung up and placed her phone in her back pocket, then looked at Nicole, Shauna, and Sasha. She pointed at Shauna and motioned for her to come to her. Shauna got up from the couch and walked up to her. The maid handed her the towels. " Can you give these to Michael, I forgot to place them in his bathroom yesterday, please." she asked her politely. Shauna nodded her head," Uhh, yeah, sure."

The maid smiled and said," Thank you. Tell him I'll be right back, have some business to attend to." Shauna nodded again and walked down the hallway to Michael's room.

...

Michael turned the knob on his shower to shut it off and stepped out. He looked over at the steamed mirror and rubbed his hand across it, taking a good look of himself. You're not a bad person...he told himself in thoughts. Then he realized his maid never gave him his towels yesterday, Michael looked for his phone on the sink but it wasn't there. He must've forgotten it on his night stand. He swore under his breath.

" I'll just go get it really quick." he whispered to himself. Michael walked over to the door and opened it. He froze, face turning red instantly. Shauna was standing before him with the towels in her hand. She began to blush about three shades of red. Michael's mouth dropped as she placed the towels on his bed and quickly walked out of his room.

" I should really start locking my door.." he said out loud.

7:30 AM

Michael checked himself in the mirror to see if he needed to do anything else before leaving the room. He had his hair back in a pony tail with a couple of curls over his face, red oxford shirt, black slacks, and loafers. He was set, just needed his fedora. On his way out the door, he grabbed it off his bed, and walked straight to the kitchen.

" Good morning, Mr. Jackson." his chef greeted him. He was rushing himself getting orange juice and a plate of french toast. " Good morning. I have a conference this morning at 8, so I need to hurry." he told her putting syrup on his breakfast.

" Oh okay," she said," the girls have already eaten. Jasmine is still asleep I think."

" Oh, I forgot about her." How could she slip my mind. Michael put his plate on the tabled a rushed himself up stairs to Jasmine's room and went in. Jasmine wasn't in bed but it was made up, he looked around the room. The shower was running, she was in there. Michael barged into the bathroom and heard Jasmine singing quietly to herself until she heard the door open and she screamed.

" Michael!" she tried to cover herself by crouching down. Michael laughed at her," Look, I'm about to go now. See you in a little bit." She stood up covering herself with her arm, Michael walked closer to her and they shared a kiss. " Okay, bye." she smiled generously at him. Michael walked out the door and jogged down stairs into the kitchen, grabbed his plate, then went into living room.

" Okay guys I'm gone." he went over to the girls and hugged each one of them individually, leaving out the front door afterwards. Shauna was blushing again. Nicole looked at her," What are you blushing at??" Sasha watched her as well.

Shauna told them," I didn't want to say this while he was still here. You know when his maid told me to give him those towels," they both nodded, Shauna continued," Well... I walked in there, I guess he was already in the shower, and I didn't know he was coming out the door, and he walked out naked." Nicole covered her mouth in shock.

Sasha grinned," Oh my gosh are you serious?" Shauna shook her head. Nicole said," That is so awkward." Shauna shrugged, Sasha kept giving her look making Shauna laugh. " Sasha stop it." she laughed hitting her playfully.

Michael ate his breakfast on the way to the conference room, he drunk more of his orange juice and checked his time. 8:05... only 5 minutes late. He got out the car and walked through the doors and went down the hall ways, finally going through the double doors off the conference room. Everyone turned their attention to Michael as he took his seat.

Sandy walked up to him, arms out for a hug," Ahh, Michael you've made it." Michael rose up from his seat and hugged his manager. " So what were you talking about before I got here?" Michael asked, sitting back down. Sandy clapped his hands together," Well, Michael, we need a new music video soon. What I mean by soon is very soon and what I mean by very soon is before this week is up." Michael nodded his head and said," I think I can do that."

Sandy continued," Okay now." and that's when they began the real talk of the conference. About an hour into it, Michael had his head down on the table.

" Michael what do you think of that?" he didn't respond. " Michael?" he snored out a little, Sandy walked up to him and shook him awake," Michael wake up!" he yelled into his ear. Michael rose up quickly headbutting Sandy in the face, they both groaned in pain. Michael rubbed the back of his head and looked up at Sandy," Sorry. I didn't get as much sleep last night."

" Yeah, yeah. I guess that's your excuse for every meeting you fell asleep at." Sandy said jokingly. The other people there snickered quietly, Michael eyed them, they went instantly quiet. Eventually they went back to the talking, he told them how he wanted the first concert to be in London. After the conference was over, they all said their goodbyes and hugs and Michael went on his way. He hadn't checked his phone the whole time he was there, he had two messages from Jasmine.

" Oh my God." he groaned to himself after reading what she had sent him. He doubled his steps until he was out the building and to his car.

The girls were playing outside in the backyard. Jasmine was sitting in her room, she could hear them outside. She walked over to her window and opened it. Jasmine looked down at them, waved, and greeted them," Hey!" They stopped what they were doing and looked up at her, and waved back. " Hey Jasmine." they said. Jasmine smiled at them and closed the window back.

Where is Michael... she thought to herself, sitting back on her bed. Michael pulled up into the drive way. Jasmine peaked out of her door and saw him come in and lock the door behind him. The girls can still come in, they went out the back door. Jasmine closed the door quietly and smiled to herself... There he is.

She went back over to her bed and sat there... waiting. Her heart rate sped up to the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, she bit her bottom lip and stood up. Michael stopped in front of her door and held the door knob, hurriedly he went into the room and slammed it shut. He went up to her and immediately kissed her lips passionately, deepening it. Jasmine fell back on the bed and held onto him. Michael hovered over her, kissing her neck.

Jasmine held him tighter, wrapping her legs around his waste, and let out a soft moan when he licked under her ear. He then began kissing her lips again, his hands creeping up her shirt until he reached her bra making him deepen the kiss again. Jasmine rubbed her hands up and down his back. Then Michael rose up and took off his shirt and threw it on the ground. Jasmine made him go under him so she was on top and started rubbing over his chest.

She looked into his eyes and rolled her tongue from his chest down to the seem of his pants. She looked up at him again as if getting permission to unzip his pants. Michael slightly nodded, his heart racing. Jasmine placed the zipper in between her teeth and slowly unzipped his pants revealing his boxer. She took out his man hood and placed her tongue at the tip of it. There was a sudden knock on the door.

" Michael?" it was Nicole. Michael tried to even his breathing," What?" Nicole continued," Come play in the pool with us!" Michael cleared his throat, Jasmine placed half of him in her mouth and sucked in gradually, making Michael moan out," Uh, Nicole sweetie, I am kind of... Ahhhh umm business. Okay?" then another voice came," Please Michael!" that time it was Sasha begging. Michael grabbed Jasmine's hair and thrusting his hips up.

" Ugh, umm?" he could barely talk. Jasmine grabbed his hands and made him let go, raising her head up. " Go play with them, maybe we can do this another time.." she got up and went into the bathroom. Michael got up and put on his shirt and walked out the door. He was very frustrated at the moment," C'mon, you want to play in the pool, let's go play in the damn pool." They followed behind him, but really couldn't keep up.
