Michael was in his closet getting ready for YN's visit. She was gonna arrive soon since he had already sent his driver to go pick her up at 3 o'clock from work.

Once again was he having hard time deciding what to wear. He had to ask her later what her favorite colors are. There were so many things he wanted to know about her and so many questions to ask, for example, would she marry him... This particular question was killing him and the fact that he didn't know what was going on with him, too.

He's only seen YN once and yet wanted to know if she'd marry him! It was true that he'd fall fast for women but this time it was different! Before meeting YN, he would see a girl, like her and then think about her all the time but now he didn't just think, he wanted to marry her! He wanted to marry a girl he's seen only once! He was ready to do whatever she wanted in order to please her! He was either too desperate to get married or was deeply in love with her. Maybe it was both, after all, she was a very beautiful girl and a smart one. It was easy to tell.

He finally decided what to wear, which was black again, when he headed downstairs to check on his employees and see if all the preparations for tonight were going well. He was planning to show YN around Neverland and then have a romantic dinner together on his huge terrace. One thing was sure, he knew how to treat a lady!

*****************

"Michael, hi!" YN greeted Michael as she was getting off the car.
"Hi, YN and welcome to Neverland, I'm so glad you came!" he said with a huge smile on his face. He didn't know if he should shake her hand or not. It was the same with YN, she didn't know what to do. Both of them were just standing there uncomfortably until Michael decided to "break the ice" by pulling her for a hug.
"T-Thanks." she stuttered in his arms because she didn't expect him to do this. She knew that he liked her from the first time he saw her but now it became clear that he was wasting no time! He was on her father's side, they obviously shared same opinions about this marriage. But see, that was no problem to YN for she only had to pretend she liked Michael and then be gone with her beloved before the stupid wedding was even planned. "I'm glad you invited me!" she said while trying to make the most sincere smile she could. Damn, she should have become an actress! He blushed really hard by her words.
"Well, how about I show you around the house and then take you outside?" he asked her.
"Sure, I'd love that!"
"Oh wait! How stupid of me... you just got back from work you may be hungry or tired.. We can go rest and have some snack first and-" she cut him off.
"Noo, it's completely fine! I'm not tired or hungry and besides, your ranch looks very interesting I really wanna go around and see it!" she smiled.
"Your wish is my command, Miss YN!" he said, showing her the way with his hand. "This way!" she giggled.

They went inside the house. He showed her every room, except for the terrace where the special dinner was gonna be later. They played in the game room and afterwards went outside to visit the zoo and amusement park. It took a lot of time to show her the whole ranch so it got dark outside. They were tired and hungry so Michael offered to get back in the house and have dinner. They went upstairs in his room. He opened the terrace door for her to reveal something beautiful - in the middle was table for two and the terrace decorated with white flowers and balloons.

"Wow.." she said. She didn't like him but had to admit, he really blew her mind off! He was romantic while Jacob's never done things like that for her.
"This way.." he pulled the chair for her to sit. 'Such a gentleman!' she thought. "Can I offer you wine?"
"Yes, please." he took the bottle from the table, opened it and poured some wine into her and his glass. Then a waiter came to bring the food. "It looks amazing!" she exclaimed.
"I hope you like how it tastes..." but this wasn't all. The waiter came back bringing more and more plates with different kinds of food.
"Wow.. who's gonna eat all this!" her jaw dropped.
"Well... I didn't know what you like so I decided to order from everything." she looked at him.
"Ahmm... t-that's very s-sweet of you... " he let out almost an inaudible laugh and his cheeks became red. 'Damn, she's beautiful and such a lady!' was he thinking. 'She'd make a perfect wife too! I've been looking for her all my life!' he was thinking while looking at her.
"What?" she asked because he would look at her without a break or blink.
"What what?" he jumped.
"Do I have something on my face 'cause you were looking at me and I thought... you know .."
"No, your face is fine... it's perfect." she blushed and looked down. He was hitting on her. These words slipped out of his mouth. He felt embarrassed so he cleared his throat but no matter what, tonight he had to find out if she liked him. "Dig in!" he changed the topic.
"Mmmmh it's so good!" she tasted the food.
"Glad you liked it!" after a pause he decided to make the conversation more serious "So, YN, tell me do you have a boyfriend?" this kind of shocked her, she didn't expect this question but managed to control herself. She had to say no.
"No, I don't."
"How is it possible? A smart, fun and beautiful girl like you hasn't got a boyfriend?" she laughed.
"It's possible!"
"The men around you must be blind then!" she laughed again and she wasn't pretending, he was really making her laugh. "Why you laughin'? It's true!"
"You're really funny Michael!"
"I am?"
"Yes!"
"Do you like funny?" he was doing it again, flirting with her. She looked at him. His eyes were... there was something about his eyes and the way he was looking at her..
"I do, yes.. I think everyone likes funny!"
"Then do you like.... me?" she dropped her fork and jaw too... She opened her mouth to say something when her phone rung. YES!
"Oh my phone!" she pulled it out from her bag with shaking hands. "Would you please excuse me?"
"Of course." she got up and run inside Michael's room, closing the terrace door behind her.

"Hello Jacob what do you want? I'm at his house now.." she was whispering while smiling because Michael was looking at her through the glass doors. She was nervous because her beloved called her right now and if Michael found out, this would go to her father and then everything would be over. "Yes... I can't talk. You know when we're gonna run away? Oh Gosh you made me so happy! Listen, i'll call you back later when I get a chance... ok bye!" she hung up and returned to Michael with her heart pounding in her chest. It wasn't because of Michael but because of what Jacob told her.

"I'm sorry!" she said smiling at him.
"It's ok."
"Where were we?"
"I asked you if you like me and I was waiting for your answer.." oh on, she shouldn't have said that!
"Oh aaah .... mmmmh.. I don't know you very well but you seem to be a great person and a great friend of my dad! He likes you very much!" she was trying to get away from his question.
"Ahamm..." he got it.
"And and I've seen you on TV visit children and you're caring and that's really good!"
"I don't think you understood my question... do you like me as a man?" he wasn't gonna give up. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. She was supposed to say 'yes' but she didn't wanna lie. On second thought it wasn't gonna be a complete lie since she thought he was a handsome man and she's also been a huge fan of his.
"Yes, I do..." she looked away but then he placed his hand on hers. This caused her to jump a little.
"It's ok" he noticed "I like you too.... the moment I saw you stole my heart! I can't stop thinking about you..." he whispered then put his hand on her cheek to caress it. The table was pretty small so he didn't have to extend it a lot.  Her facial expression changed. She was scared "Don't be afraid of me..." she begun trembling and he noticed that so he stopped the caressing thing. Maybe he was going too far on the first date and she got scared. After all, she was a young girl who probably didn't have much experience with those things. "I'm sorry I went too far, I just couldn't control myself 'cause you look so beautiful..."
"It's ok..."
"YN, I know what I'm gonna ask you right now is stupid and crazy but... I have to do it! I need to know some things!"
"It's ok, you can ask me anything."
"Do you... think you can... you know..... f-fall in love with me? Like in time.... when you get to know me better.." YN didn't expect this at all but it was normal for him to ask those question sooner or later, he wanted to marry her and she knew it.
"I think yes..." he smiled, satisfied with her answer.
"I'm glad and to tell you the truth I think I'm already in love with you! And I'd like you to be mine..." YN's face became white! Be his! Like now!?? Michael noticed her reaction. "No nono non no! Not like that! What I was trying to say is that my feelings for you are real and I'm very serious about you .... us. And when I said be mine I meant.... m-ma.. m-marr" he was trying to say something but couldn't.
"Marriage?" she asked.
"Yes.." he sighed relieved. "And-" she cut him off.
"I agree."
"What?"
"I agree." she was tired of all this so she simply agreed to end this thing as soon as possible by saying 'yes' straight away.
"Really? You'll marry me?"
"I will." the biggest smile appeared on his face.
"Oh God! You just made me the happiest man on Earth! But wait.."
"What?"
"I don't even have a ring! I'm such an idiot!"
"It's ok, I don't want a ring... a small piece of jewelry is not important..."
"You're right but still you deserve a ring! You deserve the best! How about we throw an engagement party with family members and then I'll propose officially but this time with a ring for you?"
"Yes.." she nodded.
"Great. Then it's all settled. All we have to do now is tell your parents and start planning the wedding! Oh and I have to introduce you to all my employees since you know... you'll soon be my w-wife..." his wife! The thought of it made him extremely happy! "And you'll also be the mistress of this house! You know what... let's do it now!"
"Now?"
"YES! C'mon!" he took her hand and pulled her up, leading her downstairs in the kitchen.

He was walking fast, he was hyperactive which was a sign for how happy he was. In the kitchen, he told the maid to go tell the other employees to come to the kitchen since he had an important news to shear with them. After they had all gathered, he introduced them YN as his fiancée and said they were gonna get married really soon. Everyone clapped for Michael and YN.

YN was feeling terrible at that moment. She saw Michael's happiness and his sparkling eyes, his eagerness to marry her but all that was not going to happen. It was a lie. That's when she started having second thoughts about telling him the truth. Michael was a nice, handsome, generous guy who didn't deserved to be deceived but if she told him now, everything that she had planned with Jacob was going to go to hell.

However, the situation got worse. YN decided it was late and time to leave when Michael suggested to drive her home and once he was there, greet her parents and tell them about the engagement.

*****************

"Mr. Jackson, you're here too!" your father opened the door to let you in when he saw Michael was there with you. He didn't expect him.
"Good evening and I'm sorry I didn't call first, I hope you don't mine me coming here.."
"Absolutely not! You're always welcome in my house! Please, come in."

"Oh Mr. Jackson's here too!" your mom said as she saw the both of you walk in the living room.
"Yes!" your father replied.
"Well, please sit down." you sat on the chair while Michael and your dad made themselves comfortable on the huge sofa. "Can I offer you anything to drink?" your mom suggested.
"No, thank you. Actually, I'm not going to stay long, I only came because me and YN wanted to tell you something.." you saw the look on your father's face. You were almost certain he knew what was going on. Of course he did. He had probably discussed it with Michael before.
"Ok, I'm listening." your dad said.
"Well, " Michael looked at YN "I don't know how to start but... Mr. YFN and Mrs. YMN, I've fallen in love with your daughter and I proposed her marriage." he just said it out!
"Wow!" your dad did expect this but not so fast.
"Really!?" your mother said.
"And if it's ok with you, I've come to ask for your daughter's hand..."
"Who am I to say 'no'! If that's what you both want, then I give you my blessings!"
"Me too! I'm very glad you'll be my son in law, Mr. Jackson!"
"Call me Michael!"
"Come here!" YN's mother hugged Michael "Congratulations!" then walked over to the chair YN was sitting on and hugged her too. Your father did the same thing.

"Well then, I guess we have to celebrate! Honey, could you please bring the special champagne I was keeping for special occasions?"
"Of course dear! I'll be right back!"
"Speaking of celebration... how about we throw an engagement party at Neverland?" Michael suggested.
"Sounds great to me!"
"Oh and about the wedding..."
"Yes?"
"I wanna marry YN as fast as possible!"
"Wow" YN's dad looked at YN, wandering what did she do to Michael. He was so in love with her! "then we better start planning the ceremony and I think if we work hard we'll be done in a month!"
"A month!!??" Michael's jaw dropped. This was waaaaaaay too long for him. "I was thinking about a week!"
"A week!? How are we supposed to throw an engagement party and then plan a whole wedding in just a week? It's impossible..."
"Everything's possible if we believe it!"

Michael and YFN kept on talking and planning the wedding. In the end, they both agreed to two weeks. The funny thing was that YN was not even once asked about her opinion. This was not typical of Michael, it was just that he got so consumed into the wedding thing that he forgot to ask her. As for her father, well he didn't care about her opinion since to him the most important thing was that his daughter would become mrs. Michael Jackson in two weeks. Michael Jackson was gonna be his business partner and son in law! It was perfect but little did he know about YN's plans... He believed she liked Michael because of the promise she gave him before.

*******************

After 3 days at Neverland, Party

No one, except for Michael and YN's family, knew that he got engaged or what this party was about until Michael decided to tell them

"Excuse me.." he stepped next to the piano, all eyes glued on him. "I'd like to tell you something... YN, would you come here please" he reached out his hand for her to take. She took it and he pulled her close to him. YN was very nervous and trembling, that's why she kind of hid behind his body a little. "Well... ahhm.. " YN could notice that Michael was hell nervous too - he was trembling and his hands were little sweaty "YN, can I please ask you to close your eyes?" YN nodded and everyone else wondered what was going on.

After she closed her eyes, Michael fell on his knees, pulled out a little box of his pocket, opened it to reveal a diamond ring and "You can open them now!". There was an "AHHHH!" you could hear from all the guests. "YN, I know that this might be a little too fast since we've only known each other for a few weeks but.... you stole my heart! I'll never forget the moment I first met you, at your parents' house. You were slowly going down the stairs and I couldn't take my eyes off you... after that night, I never stopped thinking about you and I'm so glad that a beautiful, smart and intelligent girl like you, came into my life and accepted my feelings. But you only being in my life is not enough. I want you to become a part of it. With this ring, I'd like to make you my wife and I'll be extremely honored and beyond happy if you agree, and I promise to love you forever... YN, will you marry me?"

"Yes." everybody begun clapping. Michael glided the ring on her finger, got up, hugged and kissed her on the cheek. It was the first time he kissed her. Afterwards, Michael and YN received greetings and well wishes form the guests.

The party was at its peak but this didn't meant Michael was happy. Although, there weren't many people, it was crowded for him... The truth was, he wanted to be alone with his fiancée.

YN went to the restroom. When she got out, she felt a hand on her arm pulling her behind. She got scared and started to say something but "It's ok, it's me!" she saw Michael's face that had a huge smile on. "You wanna take a walk outside?"
"Yes, sure."
"This way!" he said, leading her outside

"I'm sorry if I scared you earlier."
"It's ok, you didn't scare me at all!" she lied. "And I really needed fresh air..." she wasn't joking! She just got engaged to Michael Jackson while planning to run away with Jacob!
"Me too!" they kept on walking, hand in hand when Michael begun "To tell you the truth... I wanted to ask you if you liked the ring?" oh the ring! She hasn't even looked at it yet..
"Oh, it's absolutely beautiful, thank you so much, Michael... you shouldn't have.."
"No, you deserve the best! Even this ring is not good enough for you but it was the best I could find.." he must have spent fortune on it! She had to returned it before running away!
"Thank you..."
"No need to thank me! From now on, whatever you need, want, come to me!"
"Thanks.."
"And one more thing!" he stopped walking to put his hand in his pocket. He pulled out a card "Here!" she took and looked at it.
"A credit card??"
"Yes. I figured you might need money and decided to give you a card so that you won't have to ask me every time... this way you'll always have money with you..."
"M-Michael... that's v-very sweet but.. you shouldn't-"
"No, actually, I should've given it to you earlier but they needed time to get it done..."

He was doing way too much for her and she didn't like it since it made it harder for her to lie to him.

"I-I.." she was looking down, embarrassed not knowing what to say. He placed his hand on her chin and lifted her head up so that she'll look into his eyes.
"I want you to have everything you want..  I wanna make you happy..." then all of a sudden, he gently pressed his lips on hers. "I'm sorry I couldn't control myself..." he apologized. "I can't wait to marry you!"

*******************

Next day, YN and Jacob on the phone

"Jacob, you don't understand, we gotta stop this! I gotta tell the truth, Michael's so into this, he believes we're really going to get married! He even bought me this expensive ring and gave me credit card! I can't hurt him like-"
"Expensive ring and credit card!?"
"Yes!"
"YN, this is great! Listen to me, we're gonna sell the ring and empty the card before he finds out! We're gonna run away rich baby!"
"I CAN'T DO THIS! HE'S IN LOVE WITH ME, HE TRUSTS ME!"
"So? I love you too! And you love me! This is not your fault but our parents' remember?!"
"I know but still I can't... Jacob I gotta hang up someone's knocking on my door!" it was her mom with magazines. She was gonna help her search for a dress.

**********************

Wedding day

"Honey, rise and shine, it's your wedding today!" he mom woke her up, not that she managed to geto some sleep even for a minute during the night. The guilt was killing her. "OH God! Look at your eyes! What did I tell you about beauty sleep?"
"I know mom..."
"Wait, I'll make you a mask that will remove your dark circles in no time! I'll be right back!"

YN felt like she was gonna die today.

In 2 hours, she had to meet with Jacob and run away with him and in 3 hours she was supposed to marry Michael. She couldn't leave her love, Jacob and couldn't hurt Michael like this. She was seriously reconsidering the idea of telling everyone the truth... She preferred to hurt herself and maybe lose Jacob forever, over breaking Michael's heart in pieces by making him wait for a bride who wasn't gonna show up, and humiliating him in front of the whole world. Her heart was beating so fast, she was sweating and could hardly breathe.

She kept on thinking for a while when she finally decided to call Michael and tell him everything. What was she thinking in the first place?! She wasn't raised like this... lying, deceiving people, stealing expensive rings and money... NO WAY! And Michael... he was amazing! He was a great man who deserved much more than her and if she had met him before Jacob, she could have fallen in love with him! She didn't care no more if her parents were going to kill her after finding out or not, she didn't care no more if she had to stay away from Jacob... the only thing that was important right now was to tell the truth and free herself! She needed to be set free! She didn't know why she had waited so long, maybe because of fear...

YN grabbed her phone and just as was about to dial Michael's number, it rung in her hand. It was Jacob. She quickly picked up

"Yes, Jacob?"
