Me and Michael
home
Wednesday
evening the 12th June 2002 in London (That week when Michael was there for the
Sony demonstration) my friend over there gave Michael's security my letter (which
I had send to her some days before). He apparently liked the letter so much that
he called me at my mobile at 4am in the morning (I was home in Denmark sleeping
hehe). On the phone it was first a guy who said his name was Alex (one from
Michael’s crew) and he talked something about a letter and Michael Jackson. I
didn’t quite understand cause I was sleepy, until he said, "Do you want
to talk to Mr. Jackson?" And of cause I said yes!!! Well then Michael came
to the phone and said “hi”, and I said, "Hi, how are you? -I can't
believe I‘m talking to you!" then he said, "I can't believe I’m
talking to yoouu" with this sweet voice. Then he said thanks for my letter
and that he really thought it was beautiful, amazing and so sweet. Then he asked
me to say to all the fans that he loves you all and that we should get some
pictures of Tommy Mottola for the demonstration. He also said that Mottola was
devilish hehe. Then I told him that I would be at his hotel Friday evening and
that we maybe would meet there. I don't think he quite understood it, I think he
thought I would be outside and not inside the hotel and then we couldn’t meet
of cause. Then I’m having hard remembering the rest because I was so shocked,
but at last he said "well, I'll let you sleep now" and stupid as I am
I just said “yeah ok...” and then he said “bye” and I said “bye”,
instead of trying to keep talking to him... I was just so happy and shocked hehe.
Then
Saturday night at 2 am I met him at his hotel (I stayed there). He came back
from a children’s hospital he had visited. All the fans waited for him outside
the hotel of cause, but also down in the lobby. Well me and some other people
had found out that we could take the stairs to his floor and wait for him to
come out of the elevator when he came up to his floor. I think we were around
15-20 people up there waiting for Michael to come. I kind of felt bad about it
because earlier at the same night the crew from the hotel got really mad at us
because we had walked around at the hotel trying to find out how the best to get
to Michael when he came and left the hotel. There had also been an accident with
one of the hotels crew. Outside at the gates the fans had pushed him so hard
against the gates so he had a heart attack, and first when he was all down lying
on the ground they stepped a bit away, at least that was what we got told inside.
So it was really tense with the hotel crew and they were really angry at all the
fans. Well, when I got to Michael I took him by his arm to get his attention
because he was looking around. When he looked at me, he looked at me with this
strange kind of look, like he had seen me before but couldn’t exactly remember
who I was. I said in this kind of explaining way to him: “Hi, you called me…”
Then he looked at me and started smiling getting all happy saying “yeeeaaah!”
Then I gave him a hug and I kinda just took the nearest camera out of a hand
while asking Michael if I could have taken a picture with him, I don’t even
think I let him answer the question cause I just wanted the picture taken, hehe.
I gave the camera to Michael’s bodyguard Mike, which I had talked to earlier
and told him about the call and everything which he thought was really sweet. He
stood back to take the picture and asked Michael and me to stand ready for the
picture. He kept standing there some extra seconds posing with the camera saying
to us “let me see a smile”. I think he did it to give me a few more seconds
together with Michael, really nice of him. I remember while standing there
posing for the picture I cached myself in keep whispering in Michaels ear “I
love you”, I think I said it like 7 times or something and he just kinda
nodded to me every time. When the picture was taken Michael hugged me real tight
with his big arms and I was all surprised by he did it like that, like he was
really happy to see me. When he after some seconds squeezing little me, let go
of me he gave me a kiss on my right cheek. Then Mike gave a sign to me that I
had to go to let the other fans through to Michael. Then I just left I don’t
know why I didn’t stay there, cause it wasn’t chaotic or anything, people
was just lining nicely up in queue to meet Michael. I could have stayed there
and met him again, but I guess I was just more than happy enough with all I
already got. I didn’t even cry or anything, I acted totally normal, I don’t
understand today how I could be so calm about it all. I was just kinda like in
seventh heaven the next 24 hours hehe. Then I had to go home next day even
though Michael would stay a few more days. I didn’t want to go but I had to so
I did.
