Chapter 3: Rehearsal Revelations
Michael's P.O.V
I smiled and said okay. After the introductions LaVelle told Amahle she could sit on the steps that lead to the musicians area. When she turned around to take  a seat I snuck a glance at her backside like I thought she had wagon back there, a perfect peach.
God , I told LaVelle to not let her be a distraction but she is the one distracting me.
Amahle P.O.V
 Once I took my seat they started rehearsing, starting with the opener of the show ' Wanna be starting Something'. I was amazed at Michael,  he was giving it his all. With him just rehearsing and being just feet from me it was like magic but then I thought hit me, was he just showing off because he had an audience even if it was just one person.
I kissed my teeth and rolled my eyes "show off" I said under my breath so no one could hear me. As the rest of rehearsal went on I caught Michael taking glances at me was he checking me out ? I kinda notice earlier when LaVelle introduced me to him.
I paid it no attention though. I thought I was thinking to much into it but now I'm really starting to think he was. Again I rolled my eyes all men are the same, thinking women are a piece of meat. After things ended with my ex, I swore off men for the rest of my life.
I hated what my ex did to me. The fact that he left me at  the time I needed him him the most. I was really hurt by it , I just was in a car accident that almost ended  my life as well as our unborn child and his excuse for breaking up with me was that I was too depressed.
Too depressed I was going through a lost, hurt and pain. I had every right to be depressed did he not understand what was going on with me. I heard Michael call break, I didn't realize I had a few tears left my eyes i quickly wiped them away before any could notice.
When I lifted my head I notice LaVelle and Michael walking towards me "Hey we are breaking for lunch then coming back to rehearse the rest of the set." I was lost in my thoughts I haven't even realized they went through the first half of the set list already. "Okay cool, what are we eating ?" I asked "we have caterers for the tour so whatever they made" Michael said with a smile "hmph alright" I shrugged.
Michael's P.O.V
Hmph I thought. Why is this girl being so rude to me did she know I was checking her out earlier, I hope not I don't want to come off as pig. Wait why did I care so much she is only here for a few weeks then we leave for Tokyo, Japan. But I knew deep down I cared I may have forgotten that she was coming today but I haven't forgotten what LaVelle said about her.
She was going through so much I just wanted to hold her and let her know that it is going to be okay. When I was stealing glances at her earlier I notice she was  crying I don't think she realized until I called for break. I felt the pain she was feeling even though she was few feet away from me.
As we continued to the carting area LaVelle asked what did she think about the first half of the set "actually I thought it was great even though you dance like you got two left feet" she laughed. Such a beautiful laugh for a beautiful woman I thought. "You really think it was great ?" I asked.
She turned to me with those beautiful yet hardened eyes "yes although I think you were being a show off" she rolled her eyes at me. I smirked she was right I was showing off, I don't know her just being here just made me want to impress her but I guess that didn't work for me.
We made it to the catering area in the stadium. We grabbed our plates and we went to sit where the musicians and other dancers were. Normally I would just eat in my trailer but something told me that something interesting about this  girl will be exposed.
As time passed we chatted amongst ourselves while eating "so Amahle what do you do for a living. School, job, anything like that ?" Randy Allaire asked  "As of right now, no. I was a full time student at Grambling State University in Louisiana..." "explains the accent" Roy said.
She giggled "yeah I was studying journalism and mass communications. I wanted to be a news reporter. I was also working at a factory full time as well." Wow she was intelligent, beautiful and a go getter even though a beautiful women like herself shouldn't be working.
If she was with me she wouldn't have to lift a finger. What are you saying Michael you just met this woman. " wow a factory a full time student, would you kinda mind me asking how old you are" Sheryl asked she smiled " I'm 21 I just turned 21 a few months back."
Wow she is 9 years my  junior. She was so young yet going through so much "you said 'was' may I ask why is that" she side eye me " I mean you did just asked so why ask to ask" she said with an attitude and clearly I was the only one to notice since no one else paid it any attention. She sighed " I was in a car accident which almost paralyzed me"
Everyone immediately started asking if she was okay and she laughed "yeah I'm fine of course, with pain here and there that's  why I took a leave of absence and a semester off" she was laughing it off but I could tell underneath she was hurting because I knew the truth. 
She glared at me almost daring me to say something. I know she know I know. LaVelle must have told her that I know what really happened to her.
