Obsession (Michael Jackson fan fiction)

Obsession 8

Paige's POV
Since we got back to the house Laurie has been really quiet with me when ever I've tried to talk to her she's just replied with one word answers.  I finally get her on her own when she's in the kitchen so I find my chance to find out what going on.

"Have I said something?" I ask slowly walking over to her. She takes a deep breath out an looks the opposite way from me. "Where were you today?" I crinkle my eyebrows "you know where I was" she sucks the side of her cheek raising her eyebrows staring out the window "we were supposed to my meeting for lunch. Be down in a minute you said" I roll my eyes at her "your seriously pissed at me for that? We were rehearsing an lost track of the time...sorry" she turns to me raising an eyebrow "you sure that's all you were doing?"  "Yes" I frown wondering what she's getting at. "Didn't look like you were doing much rehearsing to me" she folds her arms staring right at me "when I walked in he hand his hands all over you an was pressing himself up against you". "That's not what happened! I was struggling a bit an he was helping me out" I snap getting defensive. Laurie looks at me frowning "if it was all so innocent then why did you both have the guiltiest looking faces when I walked in? Just like the one you have now?" I look silently at her for a moment not really knowing what to say. "Makes me wonder what you did to get the lead" she snaps then walks out before giving me a chance to explain

******************************************
It's the day before the first show an I still haven't really spoken to Laurie. Nothing else has happens between Michael an Me we've been getting along great this week. Even though I'm confidant about the show tomorrow I still can't get why Laurie said out of my head. Michael an I haven't mentioned anything about those two little moments but after what Laurie said it has made me wonder why I even got the lead.

"Are you ok? You've been real quiet today" Michael asks concerned. I don't really want to have this conversation but I know I need to "how come I got the lead?" I quickly blurt out. He looks a little confused as to where that had come from. " well... After hearing your singing and seeing  your dance style, we all agreed you'd be perfect for it" he shrugs "why do you ask?" I smile not really wanting to take it any further I already got the answer I needed. Him AND his family gave it me not just him I got the lead because I was the best for the job "no reason" I finally say he smiles pulling me in for a hug.

There's a knock at the door an Janet walks in with a camera crew. "Hey, we need to get some footage of you guys rehearing" we both smile an nod an Janet looks at me concerned "is everything ok?" Michael cuts in "everything great! We had few last minute nerves from this one" he puts his arm around me "but we're all good now" I turn an smile at him. One of the camera men claps his hands together "ok let's get set up in here" Michael an I wait for them to set up all Their cameras then get back to rehearsing.
