Follow Your Heart

"I will make her sign a non-disclosure contract before I let her leave. God forbid anyone finds out how nice I really am. I am such a kindhearted guy, just the most giving person in the world." Michael tried to affect a sweet expression.

"Hey Michael, wake up, this is reality, not some dreamland." Greta said shaking him.

"Why I keep you and your husband on my payroll I will never know." Michael said.

"Because you know without us, you couldn't even go grocery shopping and would sit up here in your fortress and starve to death, or have photographers and fans screaming at your front door and at every window so you would have no peace at all. Plus, you know you love us, and would miss us horribly if we ever left." Greta told him as she walked him out the door of the room.

"You are right as always, Greta. How would like to share a sandwich with me while we wait for supper?" Michael walked beside his secretary to the kitchen.

"Lisa, Lisa, wake up dear, it is suppertime." Lisa heard the voice, but didn't want to move from her comfortable position where she was so warm.

"Dad, can I sleep just a little longer? Mom won't mind if I eat late, will she?" Lisa said without opening her eyes.

"I don't know about your mom, but I know when I cook a lady supper, I like for her to eat it with me." The voice said.

Lisa popped her eyes opened as she realized it was not her father waking her up. She sat up suddenly, remembering where she was. She looked and saw Michael standing there with a tray of food. "I am sorry, I must have fallen asleep on you. You don't have to wait on me."

"No problem at all. You looked so peaceful sleeping there, I just had to let you sleep. You should really talk to a doctor about that snoring though. At times I thought the whole house was going to shake down." Michael said setting the tray on the cart that had held the coffee and rolling it over to the couch.

"I don't snore!" Lisa said, horrified at the thought.

"I thought about recording it a couple of times and putting on my next album as some creepy background noise, but thought it might be to loud and would overpower my magnificent vocals." He told her laying out two plates.

"Oh,God, please tell me you are kidding." Lisa said, blushing from the thought.
