We were back at Neverland after we had spent a great time with my family. Nobody except my mother had noticed that he was actually Michael Jackson so there was no chance of any rumors spreading that he had a girlfriend.

It was now December 31st, the last day in the year of 1992. Michael and I were sitting on the bathroom floor, trying to remove all his makeup from his face that he had used to transform into Mike, the hot Mexican guy. He sat there, crosslegged and had his eyes closed. I removes his makeup with wipes from his eyes.

"I'm not hurting you, right? You tell me if I do, ok?" I said and he just smiled.

"No, you're not hurting me Susan"

After all of the makeup was removed from the right side of his face, I put a kiss on his cheek. He smiled and it went on that way – I always put a kiss on the part of his face that I had removed the makeup. We wended up laying on the floor, kissing each other wildly.

"Hey...hey, Michael" I brought out, squirming under him, trying to catch my breath.

"What?" He smiled and breathed heavily, his hands on either side of my face. I smiled and pulled away. I sat up and looked into his gleaming eyes.

"You still haven't told me what your wish is" I said and stroked a curl out of his face.

"Ahh Susan...I'll tell you later. There's something I really wanna do before that" He pulled me in his arms.

"What is it Michael?" I asked as he took me by the hand.

"Oh, you think I'm gonna tell you, no Susan, it's a surprise" He smiled and rubbed my back, while leading me outside of the house. It was already dark and we made our way to the lake. As we got closer I could see a table, with two chairs and on the grass and even on the trees were – like it seemed – thousands of candles.

"Oh my..."I let out and looked up into Michael's dark eyes. He smiled a huge smile and took my hand, then slowly walked me to the table. He pulled out the chair for me and I sat down. He took his place in the opposite side of the round table and we just smiled at each other. It was a wonderful evening, there were no clouds in the sky so we could see the stars on the dark sky and even the reflection of the moon in the lake.

"It's beautiful" I sighted.

"Just like you" Michael smiled. I blushed and Michael took my hand, stroking it. Suddenly Michael's chef brought out two plates of delicious food. I finished before him and as he was eating I watched him. He looked beautiful that night, he wore black pants and a red, flannel under which he had on one of his signature white shirts. He had his hair open and it fell over his shoulder. He looked perfect. I let out a sigh, just because I was so happy to be in his presence. He made me feel so good. That sigh though, was probably a little loud.

"What?" Michael asked and giggled.

"Uh...it's just wonderful" I said, lost in thoughts.

"What is?" He took my hand. Suddenly I realized that he seemed a little nervous.

"This evening...this beautiful dinner...you" I smiled. "Just everything" I looked out on the glistening lake as I tried to explain to him this happy feeling I had.

"I'm so glad you are liking it" He smiled. "Susan..." His voice trailed off. I looked into his eyes and he held my hand harder. Out of nowhere my heart started beating faster.

"What Michael?" I said and he pushed his chair a little closer to the table.

"Well, tomorrow is a new year and...I just wanted to say something. Last year, well...it was a really crazy year for me." He raised his eyebrows, then chuckled. I smiled too, more out of nervousness though. I knew he had something important to tell me. I felt it, from the way he spoke, slower than usual, from his grip on my hand, a little firmer and his eyes. Those gleaming eyes.

"I mean, a lot happened. Before you came into my life I had really bad problems, as you know. I didn't even think I could get out of that situation, I had just, I guess, accepted that this was going to be my relationship. I doubted myself, I felt like I was in the wrong. I...I was not in a good place. And then you came around and everything changed. Since you are here, I feel like a new man, the man I always was but...free. You make me feel so free and happy, just so incredibly joyful. " He smiled widely and rubbed my hand. I bit my lip to not start crying, I knew he was speaking from his heart.

"And...what I wanted to tell you is..." he looked down and swallowed. He was so nervous. My heart raced, I had never seen him that agitated before.

"This last year, with you, it was the best time of my life. I wake up every morning with the love of my life right next to me. And now, we are so close to the new year. I also want the be able to spend next year with you and the year after that and each and every year that I am here on this planet, I want to he right next to you. And I want you here with me. So..." He pressed his lips together and smirked. "I wanted to ask you if...if you also want to be with me next year...that is, closer than ever"

He searched in his pocked and slowly pulled out a little box.

"Oh god" I put my hands in front of my mouth. Michael bit his bottom lip in a smile and opened it. A little glimmer came out of it and he pulled out a thin, sparkling silver ring with a diamond on it. I couldn't hold it back anymore and felt tears streaming down my face.

"Do you want to marry me Susan?" Michael said with a voice full of happiness. I couldn't answer, there were just tears streaming down my face. I was so excited and my feelings were messed up.

"Yes!! Yes Michael!" I sobbed and laughed at the same time.

"Oh baby don't cry" Michael laughed and stood up, taking my hand. "Can I put this on you now?" He smirked and I held out my shaking hand as he slid the ring on my finger.

"Wow...gosh Michael" I nearly jumped at him and wrapped my arms around his neck, lay my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. He began gently rocking me in his arms.

"Do you wanna dance with me?" He whispered and caressed my hair.

"Of course I do" I whispered and just shook my head. This was too perfect. He took my hand and slowly danced with me, it felt like heaven on earth. I had never danced with him before and I couldn't believe how wonderful it was. He led every single step, he had a strong hold on me but was so gentle at the same time.

Then we sat down in the grass. Michael turned around as one of his staff members walked by.

"HEY, she said yes!" Michael yelled proudly and the man gave him a thumbs up.

"Of course I did, silly" I giggled and grabbed his arm, snuggling into his chest. Suddenly I heard a loud noise and the sky lit up.

"Oh my" I gasped and looked up at the sky. Over the lake was a wonderful, huge firework show. Red, green, yellow, every color everywhere on the sky. I couldn't believe it, it was just perfect.

"Happy New Year Susan" Michael smiled kissed me. I smiled widely, it was all like a dream. "Happy new year Michael"

We lay down in the grass and stared at the sky, holding hands. As the last firework went out and sent glitters down on the lake, Michael leaned over to me and kissed me passionately.

"I love you girl, forever"
