A mist surround the door outside my father's room. He awoke with such a start that he had a cold sweat going down his face and he got out of bed. He walked into the bathroom and turned on the water to wet his face. The cold water felt good to his face and tried his face.He turned off the water and went to bed to at listening to soft voice speaking to him. A figure stood outside of my house noting my father's wealth and his evil plan was going to be perfect without nothing to stand in his way but he never courted on feeling something that would make him choose whether to complete his mission or take a chance at love.

Michael Johnson,my father was the wealthiest and most repeated man in all of New York. My name is Michelle Anne Johnson I'm his oldest daughter and almost his favorite as well. I have another sibling which is my sister named Brenda Lena Micheals(her married name)whose husband works side by side with my father. I'm seeing someone right the moment but he doesn't say I love you nor show that he loves me.I keep silent when he kiss me on lips and then leaves with me,Jack Micheals(my sisters husband),John(the man I'm seeing)on a private jet toNew York where my father works at. As I staring at the window my father notices me doing so and closes his newspaper.

"What are you thinking about Michelle?"my father asked me

"Nothing particle father"i said to him

"You must be thinking about something Michelle"he said to me

'I better tell him my true feelings'i said to myself

"Do you love him?"my father asked me

I don't answer his question. He waits a moment before asking me the same question again.

"Do you love him?"he asks me

I merely shook my head at him and he looks at me with caring look.

"The question I asked you seemed very hard for you to answer and I gather from you not answering me the first time that you're unsure of the answer Michelle"he said to me

"It's not that I don't love him he doesn't show it nor express it either"i said to my father

"It's what Michelle?"he asked me

"He doesn't show emotion of love whatsoever"i said to him

"Love is a difficult thing in life Michelle I should know and love can a feeling of passion that you never felt before in your life"he said to me

"Like you and mom daddy?"i asked him

"Yes Michelle but that love is so hard these days"he said to me

Meanwhile the figure heard everything my father was saying to me and was waiting for his time to talk with my father but he need a host for that part of the mission. He smiled evilly and he waited for something like someone just recently died to take their body.

"Soon he'll meet me face to face"the figure said to himself

After landing my father,Jack Micheals,John,and me exited off the plane. I noticed that he stopped walking and was talking to himself.

'that's unusual of him do that'i said to myself

I walked over to him.

"Dad are you alright?"i asked him with concern

"Yes I'm fine I'm just talking to myself Michelle"he said to me

"Talking to yourself"John said to him

"Well you better get to work I don't want you to be late"he said to me

"Alright you take care of yourself dad don't overwork yourself"i said to him

"I will Michelle"he said to me

I gave him a big hug before he,John,Jack got into the limo that would take them to work.After they left a got into a cab and went to the local cafe shop to get some coffee. I carried some work with me for a had sometime to kill before I had to go in.I walked into the cafe and sat down at the bar. I noticed a man talking rather loud on the phone to someone and I took notice of his hair,height,and what he was wearing. He was wearing a white tee shirt was light blue jeans that fit in all the right places and he had his hair back in a ponytail.

"Yeah I'm sorry he did that to you"he said on the phone

"If you need anything don't be afraid to call me anytime sis and I love you bye"he said ending the call.

After he hung up the phone he almost ran into a table full of coffee and he nearly tipped over his own shoes.Soon he sat down at the bar a few seats from me. I noticed he was served a breakfast meal with coffee on the side and I smiled to self.

'He's cute'i said to myself

"I'm sorry I was loud on the phone"he said to me

"That's OK I caught up in your conversation actually"i said to him

"You were?"he asked me

"Yeah I was I hope I wasn't listening on it for personal reason I sure you"i said to him

"I'm quite flatter miss"he said to me

"You're quite welcome"i said to him

Finished my coffee and I was packing up my things to leave when he stopped me.

"Would you like have another cup of coffee on me please?"he asked me

"I need to get to work"i said to him

"Please it's only a cup of coffee"he said to me

"OK I'll stay"i said to him

He got up and reached over to the coffee pot and poured both of us another cup of coffee. For an hour listened to why he was here in New York and I found out he's doctor waiting for someone to move of an apartment so he could move in.After having a cup of coffee I said my goodbye to him. As we parted our separate ways I felt looking back at me and when I turned around he was walking.As he walked felt like she looking at him and when he turned she was walking. I walked around the corner and he walked into the street .He wasn't paying attention where he was walking so he was hit head on.

"Finally a host"the figure said inhabiting the man's dead body

It was long day for my father and he finally arrived at home. He kept hearing this voice speaking to him while my Brenda was talking about his party coming up in two days. He wasn't even pay attention to him and she giving very upset at him. When the maid annoucered dinner was ready he just got up and went to the dinning room leaving my sister all most in tears.

"He's really stressed Brenda"her husband said to her

"Yeah maybe he is"she said to him

They walked into the dining room and sat to my father's left side. Then my father kept hearing the voice and again he said he was at the front door of our home. I saw acting weird and he was not he's funny self.

"Mary can you see whose at the front door?"he asked the maid

"Sure right away Mr.Johnson"she said leaving the room

Moments later Mary comes into the room and whispers something in his ear. He leaves the table and walks out of the room.All of us staring in wonder why he left so suddenly.

"He'll tells when he gets back"John said to the group

"You're right John maybe he'll have a good explanation why he left this room so quickly"Jack Micheals said

I and Brenda merely nod our heads and start to eat our dinner. I had an overwhelming feeling that something wasn't right about him leaving the room the way he. I can't be more right and soon I would find the love my father speak of soon enough.

Soon my father became into the room with the man from the cafe.

"You're from the cafe earlier today"I said to him

He only stared back at me with blank eyes like he never knew me and I was hurt.

'I through he was someone not having anything to do with my father' I said sadly to myself

John looked at me with concern look but then he turned his attention back on the man standing near my father. He stood right beside my father like my father was his guide or something like that. Everyone else just looked at him with smiles and accepted him to eat with us. He walked very so slowly to his seat atthe table and sat down. The maid brought him some food and silverware to eat with.

"What is your name?"My sister asked him

The man looked at him for help like he didn't know his own name and my father took a deep breathe before answering.

"His name is Mark Callaway and he's old friend of mine"my father said

"Welcome Mark"everyone said expect for me

My father seemed on edge about this Mark for some reason and I couldn't put on my finger on it why my father was acting so weird. After dinner everyone left for their own homes and I looked at John looked at me without saying goodbye to me. I felt my heart break in two and I went upstairs to change into my gown for the night.After changing into my gown I laid on my bed thinking about the man I just met how talkative he was and now he hasn't saying anything like the cat had his tongue or something like that. Meanwhile Mark was walking around the house and wondering around.Soon I became restless and I sat up in my bed.I got out of bed and walked over to my CD player and turned it on.I pressed CD one and turned the volume to 10 or so. The CD I was going to listening was Feeling Like Makin' Love:The Romantic Power Ballads by arious rock groups from the 80's.Some of my favorite songs were on the album and I skipped pasted the first 4 to get to number 5 which was Can't Fight This Feeling by Reo Speedwagon

Can't Fight This Feeling

off various CD albums

I can't fight this feeling any longer

And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow

What started out as friendship, has grown stronger

I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever

I said there is no reason for my fear

Cause I feel so secure when we're together

You give my life direction

You make everything so clear

And even as I wander

I'm keeping you in sight

You're a candle in the window

On a cold, dark winter's night

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

It's time to bring this ship into the shore

And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

And if I have to crawl upon the floor

Come crushing through your door

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you

I've been running round in circles in my mind

And it always seems that I'm following you, girl

Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight

You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

It's time to bring this ship into the shore

And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

And if I have to crawl upon the floor

Come crushing through your door

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

As the song played I knew then that I was falling in love with this Mark Callaway was old friend of father's and my mind was spinning in circles.

'Why couldn't he just told me he was friend of my father's instead of me finding out night at dinner'I said to myself

Then I skipped over Amanda by Boston and listened to Is This Love by White snake.

I should have known better

Than to let you go alone

It's times like these I can't make it on my own

Wasted days, and sleepless nights

An' I can't wait to see you again

I find I spend my rime

Waiting on your call

How can I tell you, babe

My back's against the wall

I need you by my side

To tell me it's alright Cos I don't think I can take anymore

Is this love that I'm feeling

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

This must be love

Cos it's really go a hold on me

I can't stop the feeling

I've been this way before

But, with you I've found the key

To open any door

I can feel my love for you

Growing stronger day by day

An' I can't wait too see you again

So I can hold you in my arms

Is this love that I'm feeling

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

This must be love

Cos it's really got a hold on me

Is this love that I'm feeling

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

As I was listening to this song I never noticed Mark standing in my bedroom doorway.I had a feeling that I was being watched and I turned around. I saw Mark standing in my bedroom doorway and I grabbed my robe to cover my night grown up.I tied the robe very tightly and I walked oer to him.

"Do you ever knock Mr.Callaway?"I asked hotly

Mark just there with blank expression on his face and something I told me that he was not right at all in the mind.

"I'm sorry I scared you Ms.Johnson"Mark said to me

"Please don't call me Ms. Johnson call me Michelle"I said to me

"OK Michelle what are you hearing?"Mark asked me

"Hearing oh you must mean listening to"I said to him

"If that what you call it"Mark said to me

"That's the loud noise coming from the big black box"Mark said to me putting his hands over his ears

'This guy is definitely is weird'I said to myself

"It's called music and the "black box" is called a CD boom box"I said to him

"CD boom box?"Mark said to me

"Yes, you can play CDs or just listen to the radio you do know what a radio is don't you?"I asked him

"A radio what's a radio?"Mark asked me

'I don't believe this he doesn't know what anything is like he was brought from the past or something like that'I said to myself

"A radio is system that we listen to music on"I said to him

After telling him what a radio was Mark left without thank you or goodbye to me.I just shook my head at him and a through came to my mind.

"Yes that guy is from the stone age I wonder why my father hasn't told us about this Mark Callaway before'I said to myself

After listening to one song entitled The Flame by Cheap Trick

Another night slowly closes in

And I feel so lonely

Touching heat freezing on my skin

I pretend you still hold me

I'm going crazy I'm losing sleep I'm in too far

I'm in way too deep over you

I can't believe you're gone

You were the first you'll be the last

I'll give it to you

Whenever you need someone

To lay your heart and head upon

Remember after the fire

After all the rain

I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall

Feels so frightening

I wanna run to you I wanna call

But I've been hit by lightning

Just can't stand up for falling apart

Can't see through this veil

Across my heart over you

You'll always be the one

You were the first

You'll be the last

I'll give it to you

Whenever you need someone

To lay your heart and head upon

Remember after the fire

After all the rain

I will be the flame

I'm in way too deep over you

You'll always be the one

You were the first

You'll be the last

I'll give it to you
