I Could Fall In Love! [Selena/MJ]

Chapter 1 ❣︎︎ First Day On The Job! Selena's POV California, 1993 Today was the day. I start my new job. This day was going to be a huge help to my family right now. I could feel it. Something big was about to change in my life. I knew it deep within me. I smile as I add one more smooth coat of Revlon red lip stick upon my lips. I had my hair all pulled up into a tight little bun. I wore my cheap cute hoop earrings in my ears. I had a simple cross necklace my mom gifted me last Christmas for luck that hung around my neck. I looked like a maid. But I did not feel like a maid. I never was going to stay a maid. I had plans for my life. I wanted to be a fashion designer. But I could not afford to get into a good college. All the money I got from my job I was all going to my family. I planned on saving up for our own home one day. Back when we all lived in Texas those were some better times. We had a home. A Mexican restaurant. But then we got in debt. And had to give it all up. We moved out here to California. For better chances. My older brother AB he got a job at a radio station. He was their go to boy. Well, an errand boy. Dad and mom were running a second-hand store in town. Trying to keep this home what were renting from my uncle Marty. One day I wanted to have a huge home. Loads of kids. A farm. With animals galore. I always sketched farms that I came across when we were out searching for a place we could call home. One day I would never have to move again. One day I would have a home. My family would to. And they would never ever have to leave their beloved memories behind. Today I started working for a very powerful man. A man who was in the music industry. I found out about the job from AB who worked down at the station. Suzette my sister and I went out right away to try to get jobs with this powerful man in town. This was not just any man. This was Michael Jackson. The King Of Pop! We got jobs as maids out at his ranch Neverland. He was my all-time favorite singer. I did not stand a chance to even lay eyes on the man. We were to clean for him when he was not home. Keep things up for him while he was on tours and such. But he paid really well. And he was generous I heard. He was giving us dental and medical insurance on top of that. Suzette was hoping with her job she was going to be able to find her own place and move in with her boyfriend Chris Perez. She was hoping he would settle down. Stop playing gigs in bars with his band and marry her. He loved her. But he was a piece of work. I wondered why Suze put up with him most of the time. But he could shapen up with her help and her love. ♥☆♥ "Selena! Come on! We don't want to be late" calls Suzette. "our first day on the job!" she cheerfully tells me. "Coming! I am coming" I yell back. I grab my purse off my dresser. I pick up the towel that was in on the floor wet. Suzette was such a messy roommate. Chris could have her. I was the neat one. Besides all my fashion sketches that were plastered all over our wall. And my sewing machine that was in our bedroom. I grab a V8 from the fridge for my breakfast. "You need food Selena. You can't faint on the job" warns AB. "you better keep this job. I really pulled some major strings to get you this" he warns me sternly. "I will" I sigh. Toast pops up on the toaster. I grab one piece from Suzette. "There...." I giggle. "Hey that was for me" snaps Suzette who looked annoyed. She looks annoyed with me. "Hey kids" dad greets us. "Dad you know I hate that" I warn him. I was twenty-two he still called me kid. "Sorry princess" he teases. "How is the shop doing?" AB asks dad. "Good, we are going to try to win some storage units people can't keep to grab some goodies to sell today" day explains. "Good luck to you guys" says AB. "How are things at the station? Any promotions yet?" wonders mom as she comes in to join us. I butter my toast and sip my juice. "Any day now. Rob said I am doing a great job" brags AB. "I am meeting people. I know something good is going to happen for us all" "I had that same feeling" I say with a grin. "Because it will sis. I think our troubles will soon leave" he promises me. "Well, we better head to work or we will be late for our first day" warns Suzette. ♥☆♥ She tosses me a packed lunch she had made for us. Then we are off to her car. I hop in the broken down old van dad leant us. We roll down the windows. The AC was busted. It was hotter then heck already today. Then Suzette speeds off onto the highway. "Got our badges to get in?" I worry. She nods. "Yes, I do. I am so excited. Do you think we will run into Michael?" she wonders. "I could share Chris music maybe" she hopefully adds. "He is to busy for that. I bet we will not even get a glimpse pf the man. It would be nice to at least see him. Or hear his soft spoken voice say my name" I wistfully ad. "Why hello Selena, you look lovely in gray" I giggle as I joke with my sister. "You why you? Chris really needs this big break. If anyone is going to meet the man mark my word it will be me" warns Suzette. She makes a face at me. "Oh yeah winner buys lunch at Mcdonald's. Whoever wins at getting to meet the great Michael Jackson" I challenge her. We giggle then shake on it. "You bet your egg mcmuffin I will win" she teases. "Don't count your mcgriddle on that" I warn her. We pull up to the gates of Neverland. I was in aw. I saw it once when we got interviewed for the job then when they gave a group of the maids a grand tour. I got the shivers as we entered inside. Imagine dating someone with so much money. What was it like to even have so much money? We never seemed to have enough cash on us. We always ran short. It would be nice to never run out of money. To have a never ending flow of it. We pull our beat up old hunk of junk van to the back where we were told to park at. The sun shines in my eyes blinding my site a bit there. We park then get our lunchs and badges out for work. We head inside. We go clock in. We meet with our boss Opal. "Hello ladies, welcome to your first day here at Neverland" welcomes Opal Martain. "Thanks where do we begin" I add. Egar to start the job. I glance around hoping to spot sexy Michael Jackson some place. "He is not here" warns Opal. "we shall get started. I have this list a mile long. So lets get to work ladies" she orders to us. Suzette shurgs as we follow our manager about the place. Maybe I was not going to get that mcgriddle after all. •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~~•~•~•~•
