Chapter 5~Phone Calls
It was a long afternoon. Selena plopped down on her bed there in the hotel. A few more days than they were heading back home to Texas. To their little home.
She could hardly wait to go home to her dogs. She missed Texas when she was far away from there. Selena did an interview for People while she was in town. She did some talk shows on the radio as well while she was there.
The more the fans knew she did not take their money the more they would understand her. And see what a monster Yolanda was! Yolanda needed to stay in prison. She was hoping her fans would petition to get Yolanda behind bars for good as well.
Her father was busy back home now refunding fans money or giving the product they never got from Yolanda. She hoped to be out of debt to. So, she could open more shops all around America. That Selena clothing line would be a huge brand name that would be known all around the world.
That was her dream.
To make young ladies feel like women in her clothing. The transformation processes. And they needed her style. Her dreams.
Her input. Suddenly the phone rings. Selena knew Chris went out to lunch with her brother and her sister. She sighs then tries to ignore the call. They stop calling. Then it rings again.
♥☆♥
"They do not take no for an answer" sighs Selena. She reaches over grabbing the phone. Maybe Chris was bringing her back some pizza. "Hello?" she answers.
"Is this Selena Quintanilla?" someone says on the other line.
"This is she" she replies.
"Wonderful!" says the voice on the other end.
That voice?!
Where had she heard that soft spoken voice before? It sounded so familiar to her?
"Do I know you?" she stammers feeling flustered.
"Sorry, I should say why I am in touch. You do know me. Very well. Everyone knows of me" he chuckles.
She gasps as of now she was wide awake. She sits straight up. Waiting for him to say indeed who she thought he was.
"Michael. Michael Jackson" he informs her.
"Oh my....GOD" she exclaims with excitement.
♥☆♥
Then her clumsy self-drops the phone receiver on the floor. She scrambles down to get the phone off the floor. She could hear him laughing on the other end. "Michael sorry about that sir" she stammers as she laughs to.
"You must be wondering why I am calling" he says to her.
"Well, I am yes why are you calling me?" she wonders.
"I saw you were in town. And I watched you on tv the other day. I could not get you off my mind after the story you told. I want to help you. I will get you the best lawyer I can to keep Yolanda behind bars" he offers.
"That is so kind of you Mr. Jackson but you do not have to do that" she nervously says. He was so kind. She loved hearing his voice on the phone. He sounded so sexy her cheeks were growing rosy.
"I want to. Please allow me" he offers.
"Alright sir you can contact my father to discuss the details" she tells him. "he is my manager" she reminds him.
"Abraham" he says. "right"
"What else can I do for you Mr. Jackson?" she asks.
"I would like to meet up. With you and your band actually" he tells her. "I want to go on tour soon. And I would love to have you as my opening act" he explains.
She nearly drops the phone again. This was the big time. To open for Michael Jackson. Thee Michael Jackson? King Of Pop! What an honor it was. He chose her? She grins happily.
♥☆♥
"Thank you so much for your generous offer Mr. Jackson" she breaths out.
"Michael. Call me Michael" he demands.
"Oh, Michael thank you. But I do not plan on going on tour. I am not sure when I will get back on stage. I have so much debt right now. I need to focus on cleaning up Yolanda's mess" sighs Selena.
"I can help with that" offers Michael.
"Oh no this is my mess" she stammers. "No thank you sir"
"Michael" he laughs deeply.
"Michael, sorry" she giggles.
"Will you do me a favor?" he asks her.
"Certainly" she agrees.
"Take my number. And if you change your mind, call me" he demands.
"Oh, that I can do" she giggles.
She grabs a pen. Then he gives her a phone number. She makes sure she writes it down correctly on the pad of paper on the nightstand there.
♥☆♥
"I do hope you change your mind. I would love to work with you Selena" he tells her.
"Thank you for the opportunity Mr. Jackson. Maybe one day" she says softly.
"Talk to you sometime. Maybe we'll meet soon" he tells her cheerfully.
"I would love to meet up" she answers.
"I can arrange that. I would love to meet you and your family" he says. "how about a lunch date before you go back home?" he offers.
"Seriously?" she gasps.
"Yes" he answers.
"Where? When?" she giggles with delight.
"How about here at my ranch. Neverland?" he offers. "it is most private" he tells her.
"Oh, wow I would love to sir" she rambles out. "Yes" she says. "I accept"
"Great let's set up this meeting" he tells her. They chat about the details. "I look forward to meeting you Selena" he says. "See you very soon" he says before they hang up.
"Wow!" Selena exclaims. "Michael" she breaths out his name as she glances at the paper with his number on it.
It really happened. She had Michael call her. Wow.
♥☆♥
"Selena? We are back" calls out Chris.
"Baby guess what?" Selena squeals as she rushes to his side. Suzette was with him.
"What is going on?" asks Suzette curiously.
"Michael Jackson called me!" yells Selena.
Their eyes grow wide.
"Nooooo" squeals Suzette.
"He did and he invited us all out to eat over at Neverland" she tells them. "This week"
"Why?" stammers a shocked Chris.
"Get this, he wants us to go on tour with him" declares Selena.
"Oh MY GOD" screams Suzette. "tell the man yes!"
"No, I am not ready to go yet" warns Selena.
"Come on Sel" whines Suzette.
"It is too soon Suze" warns Chris as he places a protective arm on Selena's shoulders.
She smiles at him.
"Come on sis! Michael" groans Suzette.
"I know you want to. Maybe one day" says Selena. "not yet" she says sternly.
"Fine kill joy" sighs Suzette. "dream killer"
"Oh hush!" laughs Selena.
"We have to tell AB" says Suzette.
"And dad" adds Selena.
"Come on let's go tell them the good news" says Chris.
He kisses her. "you deserve all this Selena. You are so amazing" Chris tells her.
"Thanks babe" she says as she smiles at him.
Little did she know that day would change her life forever. And for the better when Michael walked into her world.
