Michael and I were walking back from feeding some of the animals at his zoo, (yeah, I know. To him having a zoo is as normal as having a pool in your backyard). It was evening time and the sun was setting on the horizon.

Watching the sunset behind the hills at Neverland is such a beautiful sight. A moment where you just appreciate the little things in life.

I looked up at Michael as he watched the sky from underneath is black fedora. I smiled looking at him all bright eyed. He turned his head and looked down at me. "What," he asked, chuckling.

"Nothing. Just admiring you," I said, turning to look forward again. I could see him smile through my peripheral vision. I felt his fingers lightly stroke mine as we continued to walk in a calmful silence.

A few seconds later, I felt him intertwine our fingers making me smile. Holding his hand felt like heaven. Even though his hands were so much bigger than mine, mine fit into his like a glove. It felt like it belonged there. I heard Michael clear his throat, knocking me out of my little trance.

I turned to look at him. "So..." he began, "In a few days, I'm going to start shooting for a new short film." I smiled slightly, "How exciting! Which one?" I asked, looking at him. I was excited for a new short film, because I was already obsessed with Remember the Time. I told him it was his best short film yet. "In the Closet."

I smiled slowly, "Ohhh, the song where you're basically having sex in the background. I see you, Mr. Jackson," I said teasingly. He always got embarrassed when I talked about him moaning on the track.

He tried to hide his smile, "Shut up," he said, failing. I laughed at him. "What I was trying to say," he continued through my laughter, "I have a love interest in the film and I want you to be my leading lady."

My eyes widened as he smiled at me. This is huge! Michael Jackson wants me in his short film!? Boy, if only I could go back in time and tell little me about this, she'd scream.

"Me? You want me?" I asked back shocked. He nodded at me. "When do you start shooting?"

"In 3 days. We're going to be shooting down at the Salton Sea. It's a one day shoot." I gave Michael an uneasy look. "Oh, I don't know Michael. That's the fucking desert and I'm telling you right now. I don't do well in the heat and who knows what the hell you'll be having me do." I said laughing.

"Oh come on, Ash. Please? For me?" He asked, pouting like a little boy. He knew I couldn't say no to that face. "I'll have to check my schedule. I think I have two back to back shows."

"I'll match your pay for the shows. I only want you to do this. I don't have a backup plan and come on. Think about the media. They'll go crazy seeing us together. They're already trying to figure out what's going on between us," He responded back fast.

"Michael, I don't want your money," I said, shaking my head. He grabbed my other hand and stood in front of me, "Please Ashley," he pleaded. I pursed my lips at him, "I'll think about it."

He grabbed me and lifted me up in the air, hugging me as I screamed. "Michael! Put me down!!" I said through our laughter. We continued to laugh as he placed me back on the floor.

Before I could speak, Michael grabbed my face with both of his hands and pulled me in for a kiss. A deep and appreciative kiss. I melted in his hands and let out a soft moan. I felt Michael smile against my lips as we both slowly pulled back. I smiled at him tilting my head as he smiled back at me. "God, I love it when you do that," he said lovingly.

I chuckled at him and grabbed his hand walking towards the main house.

I skipped down the stairs to the kitchen to find Michael grabbing some orange juice. "So, I just got off the phone with my publicist, and I can do your short film." Michael ran over to me and hugged me. "This is going to be amazing!" he said excitedly.

"When do we start again?" I asked, pulling back from his hug. "In 3 days, so the 29th." I nodded at him.

"I'm thinking you should just stay with me till the shoot. You're here now, so it just works out," Michael said, shrugging. I pursed my lips at him, "You just want me here," I said back teasingly.

He smiled looking down shyly, "I always want you here." I caressed his face in my hand and smiled at him. My heart was pumping madly for him.

I'm falling deeply for Michael Jackson.

I walked over to Ashley's trailer chuckling to myself because I knew she was mad. She already wasn't too fond of filming in the desert and then she was mad when I woke her up before the sun had even come up to leave.

I walked in and Ashley was getting extensions put in her hair. I wanted her hair to really long for this short film. Her hair was already long, but I wanted it longer. When she saw me through the mirror she rolled her eyes.

"Hi, Smiles," I said to her chuckling. She didn't say anything, she just looked down at her nails. "Smiles," I said, trying to get her attention. She still ignored me.

"Ashley," I dragged out still trying to get her attention but she wouldn't budge. Her glam team pursed their lips trying not to laugh as Alisha whispered to me, "She's raging." I slowly walked up to her chuckling. I pressed my cheek against hers as I grabbed her chin with my hand making her look in the vanity mirror. She looked so irritated and to me, it was one of the cutest faces she ever made.

"I'm sorry," I said, pouting at her. She still didn't answer so I kissed her cheek trying to get a reaction out of her. Still nothing, so I kissed her cheek again.

She still didn't budge and I would've stuck my tongue down her throat but I knew Alisha only knew about us and not the others so I refrained.

I kissed her cheek again and I knew she was cracking because she was trying to hide her smile. I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you." She leaned away from me and looked at me in the mirror, "You better. I'm only out in this heat at the ass crack of dawn because of you."

I chuckled and kissed her cheek again assuring her I would. She laughed and pushed me away, "Move! Get out." I laughed at her and left out of the trailer to go talk to Herb about some of the shots.

Sometime later, Ashley came out of her trailer with her hair up and in her costume to rehearse some of the things we came up with when she stayed with me at Neverland.

She walked over to me with her shades on fanning herself. "Well don't you look sexy," I said, biting my lip. She tilted her head and looked at me blankly. "It's too hot to be thinking about anything sexual Michael." I smirked at her, "We can go in the trailers with air conditioning real fast," I said licking my lips.

She rolled her eyes, "Please." I laughed at her and grabbed her hand to walk her over to the set.

We rehearsed some scenes for about two hours and elaborated on new ideas, before I headed to get dressed for the short film.

"Ashley!?! Is that you!!" Cindy Crawford exclaimed running over to me as I sat in the heat waiting for Michael.

"Cindy? Omg, what-what are you doing here!" I asked as we hugged. "I got called from MTV to do a little behind the scenes segment on Michael's new video!" I went to speak before she cut me off, "You're in Michael's video?"

I nodded my head and she screamed, "Cindy, shhh!" She smirked at me, "You and Michael are just friends my ass!" she said as she pushed me playfully. I laughed at her and then she abruptly stopped laughing, "That's where you went! You left us on New Years to be with him! I knew it! Alisha wouldn't tell us but me and Hazel knew it!"

"Ashley!" We heard my name being called and there in all his glory, Michael was coming out of his trailer with his sunglasses on. I waved him over. He jogged over to us, "We're almost ready," he said to me and then turned and saw Cindy. "Hi, Mr. Jackson, it's a huge honor to meet you. I'm from the MTV segment," she said sweetly with a smile. Michael smiled back and greeted her. "She's a good friend of mine. She models too. She was with us on New Year's Eve," I added.

Michael pulled me away and we started shooting some scenes for the video. It was a lot of fun despite it being abnormally hot. It was so hot I just wanted to pour a whole bunch of water bottles over my head.

"Okay, now Michael you're going to be sitting on the edge of the table and Ashley I want you to be in front of him working it," Herb said as Michael and I looked at each other trying to hold in our laughter. We nodded at him and then busted up laughing as he left. "And, action!" Herb yelled.

The music started and Michael leaned back on the table lipsyncing along. The look Michael was giving me was that damn smirk he always had like he was challenging me to come get him. He told me to give this short film my all and to not hold back so I holsted my leg up beside him and the glint in his eyes became dark. He was getting turned on.

I bit my lip and suddenly Michael leaned up and pushed my leg making me turn around. Something in me had ignited and I don't know where it came from so I pushed him and he fell back and I leaned over him. "CUT!" Herb yelled, "That was perfect you two!!" Michael looked at me and I saw his eyes look me up and down.

He had that familiar look in his eyes and I knew exactly what it meant. Michael was slowly walking up to me rubbing his bottom lip. As he went to speak, Herb called out for him. "Michael! Come look at this!"

I didn't know what Michael was about to say exactly, but I knew it was going to be something sexual.

The day went on well, but it just kept getting hotter and hotter. At this point, Michael and I were sweating profusely and now we were smack in the middle of the sub on this moving contraption.

I looked up at it from the bottom confused as to why this was in the video. "Get up here girl!" Michael said, smiling at me. I shook my head and climbed up with Michael's help. Herb came up to us as Michael laughed at me, fanning myself. "I don't even know why you're laughing. Why did you even pick somewhere like this? You can't even be in the sun!! This makes NO sense!" He laughed at me and said, "I'll be fine. Don't you wreck your pretty brain about anything."

I rolled my eyes as Herb spoke. "Okay, so you two have freedom here. Do whatever you guys want. Just make it sexy." I laughed as I looked back at Michael who was staring at my butt. Now, I know why he picked this outfit. I was practically wearing a bikini with ruffled trims.

"Make it sexy, got it," Michael said as he touched the corner of his mouth with his tongue. I playfully rolled my eyes.

Michael and I chased each other around for an hour on this moving thing and I had to admit it was pretty fun. I kept pushing Michael off playfully because he was practically trying to dry hump with cameras rolling.

As Kevyn came to touch up my makeup, I felt Michael nosing around behind me. He had grabbed my hair and dabbed his sweat off it with my hair. "Michael!" I squealed, "That is so nasty!" He laughed at me. "It's hot out here!"

I gave him a look. "I tried to tell yo'ass. Never wanna listen to me. This is a learning lesson for you," I said, smirking. "What learning lesson?" I smirked at him, "That Ashley is always right."

Michael threw his head back laughing, "Please! In your dreams!!" "Okay, places everybody! Last shot and then a 20 minute break. And Action!" Herb yelled. Michael and I started playing around and I ran my hands down his torso as he pushed my hair back.

Michael really loved my hair for this shoot. He kept playing in it and everytime it made me laugh. I started laughing and so did Michael and before I knew it he grasped his hands around my neck choking me. "Michael!" I said through my laughter as I pushed him off, but he grabbed me pulling me closer to him.

"CUT! Good job Michael, Ashley. Break time!" Herb yelled and I pushed Michael off playfully. I jumped down and went up to Alisha to grab my sunglasses and my bottled water as Michael ran up. "You play too damn much!" I said as he laughed.

Michael continued to laugh as I started to walk towards Cindy for her interview with me. "Don't choke me again, unless we're in the bedroom," I said teasingly knowing that it'd turn him on.

Michael abruptly stopped walking and choked on his laughter. I turned around at him laughing, walking backwards as I saw him adjust his black jeans. I smiled at him, still laughing. That's what he gets.

After our break, we were waiting on Michael so we could finish our last few scenes in the dirt. I was waiting for him with my water gun. We had been pranking each other all day. "Girl, we gotta wait on Michael because apparently you got him a little excited," Alisha said as me and her started laughing. "I knew it. That was my plan all along."

Michael emerged 10 minutes after our break trying to hide his smile from me as he walked towards me. As he got near me, I sprayed him with my water gun as he tried to twirl away from it. I laughed and stopped squirting water as he walked over. "What happened? Got a little too excited?" I asked as we walked over to the car that was on set. "Shut up," he mumbled.

The last few scenes, I had to roll in the dirt and pose and I kept coughing because of the dirt, but anything for Michael right. Michael started directing me wanting me to be so sexual like crawl to the camera and shit. I knew he was getting off at this too.

"Okay, Michael, go join her," Herb said as he nudged Michael. I squinted at him as he walked over. This is probably what he's waited for all day with his horny ass.

As the music started playing, Michael and I really got into it. He made me straddle him as he started bouncing on the floor. It was an interesting sight to see.

"CUT! That's a wrap ladies and gentlemen! Let's give it up to Ashley and Michael! Thanks for such a good day everyone!" Herb said through the megaphone as me and Michael got up, dusting ourselves off.

I was brushing off my arms as Alisha came up to me with a blanket to cover up in. I felt some large hands dusting off my butt and of course I looked to see Michael. He looked up at me with a smile and I couldn't do anything but giggle and shake my head.

He stood up straight and smiled, "Just helping." I shook my head once more, "Sure you are."

Him and I started walking back to my trailer as Michael pulled me to the back of the trailer where no one could see us. I leaned up against the trailer as Michael stood in front of me. He smiled as he spoke. "Thanks for doing this for me Smiles. I had so much fun with you. I don't know how I could ever repay you." I smiled at him, "You're welcome Michael. It was my pleasure. I actually had a lot of fun despite it being like 108 degrees out here," I said back as we chuckled lightly.

Michael tucked my hair back and kissed my cheek before he left for his trailer. I smiled as I walked into my trailer thinking about how happy Michael makes me. I was greeted with cool air as my team was packing up. "I'm exhausted," I said as I sat in my makeup chair. "All that heat," Alisha said as she wiped her forehead of sweat.

I turned to look in the mirror when I noticed a bouquet of red roses with a card. "Who sent these?" I asked scanning everyone in my trailer. Everyone shrugged, so I picked up the card.

It read, "I can't thank you enough for doing this video with me. I had a lot of fun. Let's keep the fun going...dinner at 8? Love, MJ"

I smiled and got up out of my chair to go to his trailer. I knocked before walking in. Michael sat in his chair as his team was packing up. He smiled at me, "Yes?" I walked up to him and leaned in his ear and whispered, "Yes I'll go to dinner with you." I pulled back to see Michael smiling at me as I kissed his cheek.

I left set around 4 PM and Ashley left around 3:45. I got to the hideout and took a long shower. It was a long day, but I had a lot of fun. Ashley always made everything fun.

Ashley and I ended up going to Cicada for dinner and we had a good time talking about the video and of course our flirty banter.

We decided to go back to her house for the night to just relax. I watched as she unlocked her front door. "I hate when you stare at me like that!" she said as we walked in. I laughed at her. "I don't do it to make you feel self-conscious or anything. I just got caught in your trance," I said shrugging as she smiled.

We walked into the kitchen as she turned on some lights. "Want something to drink? Snack on?" she asked. I shook my head. "Okay, well let's go upstairs then."

We walked into her bedroom and she handed me the remote to find us something to watch. "Do you want to stay the night?" she asked me as I browsed through the channels. I looked at her and smiled, "Yes please."

She smiled back and disappeared in her closet. She walked back out with some clothes and tossed them on the bed. "Those are clothes you can change into." I nodded at her appreciatively. And then it hit me.

"These aren't Aiden's are they?" I asked. "No you ass!" she said laughing, "Those are some of my lounging clothes. I like oversized clothing when I relax." I breathed out as she laughed at me.

I went to get up to change in the bathroom as she started taking off her clothes in front of me. I watched her lustfully. I had been wanting her since I saw her in her outfit for the video. And us touching all over each other didn't help. She turned around as she finished getting dressed in shorts and a sports bra. "What?" she asked. "No-Nothing!" I said stuttering.
