I stayed up the whole night, waking up repetitiously and covered in sweat. My dream scared me. I kept having the same two dreams, over and over again. I was terrified. What LaToya & Reebie said frightened me. Thoughts swarmed my mind.

'Chris the killer!

Hellen was slaughtered.

What's your favorite kind of flowers?

You'll need them for your funeral.

You're next.

I'd never do anything to hurt you.

I'd never make you feel like a fool.

I thought you wanted to marry Michael!

I thought you would listen to your friends!

I thought you wanted children!

Stay away from him.'

----Aaliyah's dream----

I was walking around a dark room and then I hear a creaking sound. I quickly huddled into a corner and had a frightened look upon my face. The door slowly opened and I saw a blade shine in my eyes. I let a tear fall down my face.
'I should have listened to her.' I thought to myself, thinking about what LaToya & Reebie had said.
The person turned towards me and pointed.

??: You, come here!

I slowly did as they said. They grabbed me by the arm and roughly led me to a room.

??: Lay down.

I did so and was quickly strapped to a chair. The kind you see in a doctors office.

Suesie: Who are you?

They grinned devilishly and turned around. They turned back around with something behind their back.

??: close your eyes.

Suesie: But-.

??: DO IT!

I quickly did so and soon felt a sharp pain all over my body. I screamed and opened my eyes to see Chris right there smiling.

??: Surprised?

I wasn't expecting it and soon I saw a blade. The blade was about to come into contact with my chest but I woke up.

----Dream over----

----Aaliyah's second dream----

I walked around a dimly lit room. I saw people dressed in black and some were crying. I looked around at some of the faces and saw some familiar ones. On the front row were my parents, LaToya, Reebie, Jackie, Marlon, Jermaine, Tito, and Michael with his parents. But I couldn't help but notice someone in the back. They smiled grimly and got up. They walked up to the casket that stood before everyone. They were about to touch the face of the person in there when a hand grabbed theirs. They turned around and I noticed that it was Christopher.

Chris: Nice to see you again.

He grinned.

Michael: You devil! You killed her just like you did Helen!

Chris: What are you talking about?

Michael: Oh you know exactly what I'm talking about! You knew that she was my only love!

Only love?

Chris: Oh please. I didn't lay a hand on either of them! Besides.. Even if I did, there's no evidential proof.

Michael: You ruined my life and ended hers!

Who is her?

Chris: So what if I did..

Michael: I could strangle you..

Chris: Do it. No ones stopping you.

Michael: I'm not a low class swine like you who murders people for fun.

Chris: I'm not even going to waste my breath on you.

Michael: You wasted her breath!

Chris: She wasted her own!

Who the hell are they talking about?

Michael: Look at her Chris! LOOK AT MY ANGEL! SHE'S GONE! DO YOU HEAR ME? DEAD! Do you know why? BECAUSE OF YOU!

I walked over beside Michael and touched his shoulder. He looked around and shook me off.

Chris: Forget this!

Chris said pulling out a knife. OH HELL NO! NOT MICHAEL!

Michael: Since you're so bold, why don't you do it to me too!

Michael's father got up along with mine and tried to stop this commotion. By the time our fathers got a hold of them, Michael was on his knees holding onto his chest. Michael smiled at Christopher and the police were arriving. I walked over to the casket and looked at the girl that they were talking about but all I saw was a mirror. I didn't understand. I looked back at Michael, who was now looking at me. His eyes widened and I looked back at the casket.... I saw.... Me..

----Dream over----

I was breathing harder and harder the more I thought about my dreams. I decided to be done with Christopher and not let this happen. I got out of bed and my head started to hurt. I moaned and heard someone get up. I grabbed onto my dresser and held my head. I felt sleepy and dizzy. The thoughts made my head spin and my sleepless night was horrifying. I felt a pair of arms rub my shoulders and a kiss planted on my neck.

Michael: Good morning.

I couldn't answer. I wanted to go back to bed and stay there forever.

Michael: Are you alright?

Suesie: Y-yes.. I'm fine.

I lied. Michael touched my neck, head, and clothes.

Michael: You're soaking wet and hot. You need to change clothes and get back in bed.

Suesie: No no. I'm okay, I need to get ready for school.

I said prying open my dresser. Michael's hand went over mine and held onto it firmly. I looked at him through the mirror.

Suesie: What are you doing?

Michael looked serious about what he was about to say.

Michael: Stay home today.

Suesie: No, I need to-.

Michael: Suzanne, you will stay here today. Even if it means that I have to stay with you.

Michael said cutting me off. I sighed.

Suesie: But why? I'm just fine, see?

Michael looked at me as if he were a little annoyed.

Michael: Turn around.

Suesie: Okay..

I had my back facing him and he lifted my shirt over my head. I felt a cold breeze.

Michael: You see this shirt? It's wet. Do you feel your neck and forehead? It's hot. Get some clothes, take a shower, and change. Then meet me out here.

I sighed and gave in.

Suesie: Alright, Dad.

I said teasing him. I didn't like how he was bossing me around but I knew that he meant well. I grabbed some clothes and took a shower. I changed clothes and came out of the bathroom.

Suesie: What now?

Michael: Get in bed.

Michael said pointing to my bed.

Suesie: Michael!

I whined. He raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms.

Michael: Suzanne.. Don't make force you to get in bed.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

Suesie: I can look tough too.

I said mimicking him. Michael sighed and came towards me.

Michael: I swear girl, you play too much.

He said picking me up and carrying me to my bed. Michael then smiled at me.

Michael: Who's childish now?

Suesie: Shut up..

Michael laughed.

Michael: You need to call the office now.

Suesie: I need to be in school now.

Michael gently pushed me back onto the bed and kept me down as he called the office.

Michael: Hello this is Michael, Mr. Jackson's son. May I speak to my father? Thank you..

Suesie: Michael get off!

I whined. He looked at me and winked.

Michael: Hello? Dad, this is Michael. Apparently Suzanne is sick today but she refuses to stay in bed.... Uh huh.. Yes I'm here.. Yes sir.. Thank you.. Good bye..

Suesie: What he say?

Michael smiled.

Michael: I'm your nurse for today.

'My sexy nurse..' I thought and laughed at my thought.

Michael: What are you laughing at?

Suesie: No, it's nothing..

I said calming myself down. Michael shrugged and went through my cabinets. 'What is he doing?' I thought.

Michael: Making you chicken noodle soup.

Suesie: Okay.

I said.. How did he know? The soup was done in a few minutes and Michael put it in a bowl for me.

Michael: Sit up.

I sat up and Michael gave me my soup. I am so luckey to have someone like him to take care of me in times like this. I ate it and he smiled at me.

Michael: You don't know how cute you look.

Suesie: I'm ugly when I'm sick..

Michael frowned.

Michael: No. Don't say that.

Suesie: It's true! My nose is as red as Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, my voice is all weird, and I'm hotter than a volcano.

Michael caressed my face and looked at me then smiled.

Michael: I like Rudolph and all but trust me, you look a lot better then him. It looks like a cute red button. Your voice may seem weird to you, but with your nose stuffed up you sound cuter. Now, I completely agree that you are hotter than a volcano but you are so hot that you make the volcanos erupt.

I had to laugh. That was very sweet what he did.

Suesie: Thank you.

Michael: For what?

Suesie: For being here for me when I need you the most.

Michael looked at me and took my hand into his.

Michael: You don't know how bad I want to kiss you.

Suesie: I don't want to get you sick.

Michael gave me a half smile.

Michael: I know baby. I know.

Suesie: You could get sick just by being here.

Michael smiled at me.

Michael: It's worth it.

Suesie: You are too sweet.

Michael frowned.

Michael: Do you want me to stop?

Suesie: No! What type of question is th-.. Th-.. Shit..

I sneezed trying to say the word 'that'.

Michael: Suzanne. You must stop your blasphemous and explicit words. They are not lady like.

Suesie: I'm sorry, I'm trying.

Michael nodded and held me close.

Michael: I know you are.

I thought about what I wanted to say next. Is it too soon? Will this determine us forever? There's only one way to find out..

Suesie: M-Michael?

I nervously said.

Michael: Yes Suzanne?

Suesie: I-.. Do you-.. Oh god..

I stammered.. I am stuttering and I can't think straight!

Michael: What is it baby?

Suesie: Did you.. Mean what you.. said?

Michael: When?

Suesie: A few nights ago.. About the future..

Was all I managed to say.

----Flashback----

Michael: Suzanne Aaliyah Braxton. I love you and I want you.. I want you to take my prize.. My golden pride. I want you to have me and unite us as one. I want you to be my wife in the future and have my children. I thought that you were just a phase but now, you are not just a want.. You are a need. I need your kisses, hugs, and late night cuddles like tonight. I need you in my life. I can't loose you..

----Flashback over----

Michael smiled at me and took my hand into his as he remembered. The way he held it made this moment all the more special.

Michael: I mean it. I know that words may not do for you and they don't apply to me either.. In some situations.... But, I'd rather show you how much I love you and make you mine forever. Suzanne Braxton, I want to do everything with you. In my world, you are everything to me and everything I do is for you. From breathing to running a marathon.

I laugh..

Michael: And you see, that right there.

Suesie: What?

Michael: That smile. You have a gorgeous smile and I never want it to disappear from your beautiful face. I want to wake up next to you every morning and hold you until the sun no longer shines.

Suesie: What happens at night?

Michael put his head down, then smiled while looking up at me sideways.

Michael: Remember what I said about children?

I nervously laughed and put my hand on my neck.

Suesie: Oh..

Michael: Then there's always you with your face turning red with embarrassment. That's the true definition of cute just like right now. I could go on and on forever about how much I love you. But I'd much rather show you..

Michael said tracing his fingers along the side of my face as his voice softened at the last part. Michael's eyes softened and were filled with pure love. He looked at my lips and started to lean in. Just before his lips touched mine, I put my hand over my mouth remembering that I was sick. Michael went back a little and smiled.

Suesie: I'm sick remember..

I said reminding him and he nodded while looking down.

Michael: The only thing is.. I don't care.

Michael said leaning in again, making our foreheads touch.

Suesie: I don't want you sick.

Michael smiled.

Michael: I'm already sick.... Love sick.

Suesie: But-.

Michael shushed me and before I knew it, I was being kissed over and over again in different places by Michael.

Michael: I love you so much.

Michael whispered before he kissed my ear then moving down to my jaw. From my jaw to my neck, then back to my lips. He took off his button down shirt and took mine off too. His hands traveled my body and tugged at my sweatpants. I smiled against his lips and didn't think about the possibilities of what I was about to do next.. My pants came off leaving only my undergarments. Michael stopped everything and looked me into my eyes. He looked down at both of us and breathed slowly before looking up at me and smiling. He held my hands and placed them above my head. He took off his belt and threw it onto the floor.
He acted as if he knew what he was doing but in reality, he didn't know what to do. He went back to my neck and made me moan louder each time he kissed it. Sometimes he'd swirl his tongue around in one spot and make me breathlessly say his name. My heart is beating fast and my body is wanting all the pleasure.

Michael: I want to make love to you.. Right now.

Michael said looking me into my eyes. I didn't know what to say.. Should I say yes? I looked at Michael trying to at least utter a word. Michael looked at me and then rolled over, laying down next to me.

Michael: It's alright. I'm scared too.

Suesie: What are you afraid of?

Michael turned towards me.

Michael: You leaving me after I give my heart & soul to you.

Suesie: I know what you mean.

Michael: What's your fear?

Suesie: I'm scared of the same thing.

I said looking up at the ceiling. Michael took hold of my hand.

Michael: I guess that we have to do this by faith.

Suesie: I-. I'm just not sure if we're ready for this Michael..

Michael pulled me closer to him and rested his head in the crook of my neck.

Michael: Don't leave me.. Promise me you'll never leave.

Suesie: I won't.. Will you?

Michael smiled at me.

Michael: I won't leave you until I'm gone off the earth. I love you more than there are stars in the sky.

Suesie: I love you more than there are stars in the galaxy.

Michael: No no. You see, I love you more than there are gains of sand.

Suesie: Nice one, but I love more than the galaxy's existence.

Michael: I love you more than the galaxy is big.

Suesie: I love you more than I love myself.

Michael: Oh yeah?.. Me too.

Michael said running out of things to compare his love to.

Suesie: I win!

Michael pulled me onto him.

Michael: You did. And guess what.

Suesie: What?

Michael: Every winner has a prize.

Suesie: And what's my prize?

I said getting closer to his face, which caused my hair to hide our faces. Michael's hands held my hips in place and grinned at me.

Michael: Let me show you.

I smiled and before I knew it, I was on my back and Michael was hovering over me. His eyes changed along with mine.

Michael: You ready?

I nodded after a moment.

Suesie: Yes..

Was all it took. The last thing I saw was his face smiling at me, then my eyes closed and lights went out. All I did was moan and get kissed by Michael. Michael, on the other hand.. He was working up a sweat and making sure that everything was right.

Michael: God, I love you.

Michael said to me knowing that I couldn't respond. But I tried.

Suesie: I-. Lo-. V-ve-. Y-you-. T-toooo!

I said between breaths and moans. Everything that he did was out of love and I felt every last bit of it. He groaned a few times and I started to sweat really bad.

Michael: Suzanne..

Michael moaned. My body lifted itself up off the bed.

Suesie: Oh Shit! M-Mi-. Mi-. MICHAEL!

I said between breaths and finally moaned out his name. His hand covered my mouth, signaling me not to cuss. From there, the room was filled with moans, groans, and two sweaty bodies filled with love. When the time came, Michael didn't want to stop. He didn't stop until he got there and he was breathing very hard. He went a little longer then I felt the warmest substance inside of me. Michael looked at me, then let himself rest on my chest. I just made love to my love.
