Dangerous Diana

She came at me in sections, with the eyes of desire, I felt trapped in her web of sin, a touch, a kiss, a whisper of love, I was at the point of no return, deep in the darkness of passion's insanity, I felt taken by lust's strange inhumanity, this girl was persuasive, this girl I could not trust, the girl was bad, the girl was dangerous!

   I woke up that warm morning with Nicole beside me. I looked over at her peaceful sleeping features, she truly was beautiful. I'd never know how I was so lucky to be the one she wanted to be with. I got out of bed carefully, making sure to be as quiet as possible. When I heard her move, I froze, hoping I didn't wake her. She stirred but didn't wake up; she just simply readjusted her sleeping position. I breathed out a sigh of relief and then continued on my way downstairs to make myself breakfast. I had just been about to start cooking when suddenly, my phone rang. I sighed to myself. How come the second I wake up someone needs me? I thought grimly to myself. Figuring it was important, I answered.
  
    "Hello." I said, fighting back a yawn.
  
    "Morning, Michael!" Frank, my manager, said cheerfully.
  
    "Good morning, Frank. What's wrong?" I asked, trying to stay as polite as possible, of course it was him, who else would it be?
  
    "Nothing's wrong, Mike, I was just calling to make sure you were still doing that performance tonight." He said casually.

    "Yes, I am still doing the performance tonight, I haven't changed my mind."
   
    "Wonderful, alright Mike, see you soon."
   
    "Yup. Bye, Frank."
   
    "Bye." He said and then hung up.

   Of all the reasons to call someone early in the morning, Frank chose to call me just to double check? Certainly I'd have called him if I'd have changed my mind. I shook my head; he'd known me for more than enough years now to know that. I was shocked. Suddenly, I heard light footsteps coming into the kitchen and a wide smile broke across my face, I knew it had to be my baby.  I felt her warm, thin arms wrap around me as she kissed my neck, I grinned wider at that.
    
    "Morning, Hun, did you sleep well?" She asked in her soft, slightly hoarse voice.
   
    "Yes I did. Did you, baby?" I asked her.
   
    "Yes. Especially next to you."

   I blushed slightly at that, "Glad to hear that. Are you hungry?"
   
    "A bit…what're you making?" She said removing her arms to move to the fridge and pull out some orange juice.
  
    "French toast." I said with a smile. Everyone always told me I made really good French toast.
  
    "Ooo, that sounds wonderful, Hun." She replied with a smile as well.
  
    "Wonderful, go relax and I'll come get you when it's done." I told her gently.
  
    "Alright. I poured a glass of orange juice for you."
  
    "Thanks, babe." I smiled at her and she smiled back, before walking out.

  The whole morning was quite a relaxing one and it felt good to have something as small as that in my life since things were always so hectic. The afternoon however, was not as relaxing, I had to prepare for my performance later tonight, even if it was just one song, it still needed to be rehearsed to insure the band knew what I wanted everything to sound like and how I wanted the entire performance to go. Nicole came with me to the small rehearsal and she watched off to the side, giving me her full support. She wouldn't be able to attend the show because she had to work but she could at least feel a piece of the magic right now. I'd planned to record the show, so she'd be able to see it later.

  I had decided on one of my bigger hits for the performance. I'd chosen "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". I always had a good time performing this song and I knew the crowd would love it too. I went over how the performance would go, what must've seemed like a million times, before I was satisfied. Being a perfectionist meant I could never be happy with what I did because I always felt something could be changed or done to make it better so we worked until I was satisfied.

   I sang till I didn't think I could sing any more, I danced till it felt like my feet were going to fall off. I could feel that this was going to be a good show; I just hoped that would definitely be the case. I also had the weirdest feeling that something would happen, but I didn't understand what. I figured I might be paranoid.

   Once the rehearsal ended, Nicole and I went back home and spent some time together before she had to leave for work. She gave me a sweet kiss before heading out. I sighed once she was gone, I felt quite lonely without her here.  I did what I could to entertain myself before heading out, that strange feeling had returned but I ignored it.  We got there early and I waited in my trailer for everyone to arrive. I heard soft knocking after a bit. I went over and opened it.

The girl was persuasive, the girl I could not trust, the girl was bad, the girl was dangerous…

      "Oh hello….may I help you?" I asked when I opened the door and saw her. This woman was a very attractive woman in a mini skirt and a naval top. She had a short jacket to accompany the naval top and long boots. Everything about her screamed dangerous, I was playing with fire just talking to her.

      "You're Michael Jackson, aren't you?" She asked in a velvety voice.

      "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?" I asked in a quiet tone.

      "Diana." She said and moved in closer.

    I froze. What on Earth was she doing? I felt myself back up and she only followed me. She had a certain look in her eyes, one, I didn't like at all. I kept backing away.

      "What do you want?" I asked her.

      "You." She said before she cornered me and began kissing me. I did my best to pull away, this wasn't right. Her lips were like honey, they tasted so sweet but I wanted to pull away. I had a girl and she definitely wasn't her.
I finally managed to pull back from her, only to feel her hands running up my chest and her lips travelling up my neck. I bit my lip, fighting any of my body's reactions. She needed to leave, I didn't want this. I pushed her back, fighting to make her stop.

      "Diana," I breathed out "Please, stop. I don't know what you're thinking but you must leave." I told her.
  
      "Why…you're enjoying this Michael, I can tell. I felt the way your body tightened; you're fighting your feelings. Let yourself react to me the way you want to…no one's around." She said in a seductive tone. Her fingers went up my back again and I couldn't fight the shiver I felt escape me.
    
      "I already have someone" I said pulling away from her.

   She snorted at that "So? I could be your everything Michael. You could do whatever you wanted to me. Tease me, feel me, anything you felt you wanted to do, you could. I could be your night-loving thing if you do one thing…if you make me a star. I promise you, I am not something you'll regret." She said in that same seductive tone and then approached me again; she ran her finger all over me, bringing her lips close to my ear. "I will be the best that you've ever had." She whispered in my ear.

Love Is A Feeling, I Don't Wanna Hear It, Quench My Desire, Takin' Me Higher, Tell It To The Preacher, Satisfy The Feeling, Give In To Me, Give In To Me

   I felt how warm my body was the more she tortured me. Her whispers continued and it only made things worse. I needed to get away from her, I couldn't do this. I pulled away and ran out of the trailer to look for someone. I finally located Frank and I went over to him. He gave me a strange look and I realized I must've looked a little disheveled; I could now feel that my shirt was open and the cool evening breeze made me shiver.
  
      "MJ….are you ok?" Frank asked me before I could say anything.

   I felt myself visibly shaking and looked down at my hands, they were shaking, that proved it. I shook my head no and told Frank everything that had just happened. He frowned and nodded, walking back to my trailer with me. Once we got back, we found it empty. I stood in absolute shock.

     "She was just here…." I said in a quiet but confused tone

     "She must've left when you ran out." He said, still frowning.

     "It appears that way" I said with a frustrated sigh. "Please be on the lookout for her.

     "I will I'm going to get the security guys to watch out for her too" He said

     "Thank you" I said and watched as he walked out. I sighed and sat down on the small couch in the trailer. I looked at my watch and noticed it wasn't much longer until show time. I fixed my outfit and prepared myself for the show. The performance would be good, I knew it would.
                                            ~~~

   I was currently going over the sounds I wanted for the new song I'd just came up with and wanted to do instead. My band members played it over and once I knew we had it, I grinned.
  
     "Perfect!" I said happily
  
     "Are you sure about this Mike?" I heard one of them ask me

   I nodded "I am more than sure" I said with another smile "It'll be great, trust me."

     "Well…alright" He said, still a little unsure. I didn't blame him for being so unsure, this was a sudden change. I was slightly worried the words wouldn't come out as I'd thought of them. I knew I had to lay down the vocals I had on my tape recorder and so I went off to do just that. The song came out perfectly on the tape recorder and I smiled at how well the vocals came out. I was ready.

   I ran back to where I would be coming out from and my band went out on the stage to play the first notes I told them to play. I came out and slowly approached the microphone, as they continued to play. I waited for my cue in the music and began singing my new song.

Oh No . . .
Oh No . . .

You'll Never Make Me Stay
So Take Your Weight Off Of Me
I Know Your Every Move

This Time You Won't Seduce Me

She's Saying That's Ok
Hey Baby Do What You Please

'Cause I'm Real Tired You See
But I Hate Sleepin' Alone
Why Don't You Come With

I Said My Baby's At Home
She's Probably Worried
Tonight
I Didn't Call On The Phone To
Say That I'm Alright

Diana Walked Up To Me,
She Said I'm All Yours
Tonight
At That I Ran To The Phone
Sayin' Baby I'm Alright
I Said But Unlock The Door,
Because I Forgot The Key,
She Said He's Not Coming
Back
Because He's Sleeping With
Me

Come On!
Come On!
Come On!
Come On…

   I heard the loud applause from the audience as I finished my last few notes and step. I threw my arm up in the air at the end in an almost victorious way. I took in all the fans love and acceptance and then I walked off the stage and over to my car, I opened the door to get in, only to find Diana sitting there.
