Chapter 10~Butterflies!
Selena found herself to be in a very good mood. Yolanda was rotting behind bars. Starting her new life where she should be. Michael was still in Texas.
Today Selena and AB were going to show Michael the studio her father had built for her. She could hardly wait. She was proud of all her family had done for her. And she was eager to share her life with the King Of Pop.
She felt so connected to the singer because she grew up on his music. She grew up singing his songs in her parents' restaurant. Now it was surreal to her.
Michael was in her actual life. He was her best friend. Selena stood in front her full-length mirror brushing her long black hair. She thought back to that hug at the trail.
Of the urges she fought to kiss Michael. What had come over her? She never had felt that way before, for any other man but Chris.
She wished Michael would consider getting a place out here in Texas for when he visited her. That way he did not have to stay at a hotel. He needed privacy to. And he was here for her. She made a call to her parents.
♥☆♥
"Mom?"
"Selena it is early. What is it?" yawns her mother on the other end.
"Mom, could Michael spend the last few nights he has here at your place? Chris would not like it If he stayed here. But he would not care if Michael stayed with you. I mean MJ came all the way to see me. I hate for him to stay at a hotel" Selena ramble on to her mother.
"You may ask him. We would love to have him as our guest. I am sure Suzette would be thrilled" her mother tells her.
"Oh, thank you mother" says Selena before they hang up.
"You are up early" Chris tells her as he yawns and hands her a cup of tea.
"Thanks today we show Michael the studio. You are coming right?" Selena asks Chris.
"Sel, I told you I have to meet Jerry across town. He is selling me a new Gibson guitar. I will be there, but I will be running late. I will meet you guys there" answers Chris.
"I told you how important this is to me. You guys want me to think about going on tour with Michael, yet you want to do none of the work. Are you not as invested in the Dinos as I am these days?" she demands to know.
"You know I love you and your music. Yes, I am. I will always support you. One day I want to have my own band to. I like to play my own music to Selena" he argues.
"I know that Chris. I plan on showing the new song to Michael. The one I wrote for you. I want you to hear it and I never got a chance to play it for you yet" Selena complains.
"Look I do not have time to argue Sel. I will be there, okay? I promise" he vows. He kisses her on the cheek then heads on his way.
If Chris missed hearing his song, she wrote for him then it was his problem. Selena fumed inside with anger. She knew he was going to stop at a bar and have a beer after with his buddy. He was not going to show up.
If he was, he was going to be late. She was sure of it. She sighs and sits down on the bed. She brushed back tears. Chris never was there for her these days. Not like he used to be. Ever since she accomplished so much, he became a little jealous. Not that she blamed him for that. If it were the other way around, she would be jealous. It was human nature really.
The phone rings again. She reaches over answer the call.
♥☆♥
"Hello?" answers Selena.
"Hi" MJ. She perks up.
"I am so excited to show you the studio. And my new song" she tells him joyfully.
"I am excited to. I can't wait." he tells her with a yawn.
"Did you not sleep well?" she worries over him.
"Not really. Fans cheered outside here all night" he yawns. "I waved at them from the window, but they still stuck around" he chuckles.
"Listen, seeing you are staying a few more days here why not come stay over here at my parents' home. Mom would be thrilled to have you here" Selena explains. "what do you say? Home cooked meals. Family time. And no fans would know you are here" she offers.
"That sounds fantastic. Deal" he agrees. "But would Chris like it?" he worries.
"Chris doesn't care. It is no problem" she lies. She had not run it by Chris. After all Michael was staying at her parents. Not her place.
Chris could not be mad about that.
"See you soon beautiful" Michael tells her.
"See you soon MJ" she answers before they hang up. Then she calls her mother back.
"Selena?" her mom answers.
"Michael said he would love to stay with you guys" Selena tells her mom.
"A Jackson over here? Oh, my I have things to do. What would he like for dinner?" her mom wakes up now. Selena laughs.
"I will ask him mom" she chuckles. "thank you for taking care of my friend" Selena tells her before they hang up.
Her doorbell rings. AB and Suzette was there to pick her up. To go over to the studio. The dogs bark rushing over to the door. She pulls them back. And then lets her siblings come inside the house.
♥☆♥
"Morning Sis. Where is Chris?" Suzette asks.
"He is getting the new guitar today" mentions AB.
"Oh" says Suzette.
"Ready to go guys?" Selena asks.
"Dad is already there to make sure the studio is clean" says AB.
"Good" Selena says.
"Come on guys we do not want to be late" says Suzette. "You look great today sis. Do you have a tv interview later or something?" asks Suzette.
"No why?" Selena asks as she looks down at her sleek black slacks. She had on a crop top. It was a light baby blue one. She felt good and looked good today.
"Oh, I get it. You want to look nice for someone" teases Suzette.
"Chris?' asks AB looking confused.
"Yes Chris" Selena lies as she feels her cheeks blush, she elbows Suzette in the side. "Let's go"
"Ouch" says Suzette.
They head to AB's truck. Then head downtown to the studio. Butterflies jumble in her tummy. Excitement flushes to her cheeks.
She feels like she used to when she and Chris used to sneak off for date night. That kind of excitement. Why did she feel this way? About someone new? She had many things to ponder over.
♥☆♥
"Something on your mind sis?" Suzette asks softly.
"Chris" she admits. And MJ.
"I am sorry he is not coming. I think he is jealous" mentions Suzette.
"Men are so stupid sometimes" sighs Selena.
"Can you blame him? I mean I see the way MJ looks at you. It is the same way Chris looks at you" Suzette points out.
"Hush, that is so not true" Selena chuckles.
"It is true" says Suzette.
She blushes with pleasure.
"There is nothing there but friendship that is all" warns Selena. "Don't get false ideas in that head of yours" she says.
Only problem was they were true. Selena knew it deep in her heart. But she just want not sure what to do about it all.
Not yet!
