You woke up. Couldn't sleep. Well, you did fell asleep but your sleep wasn't peaceful because, first of all, you weren't home in your own bed but at this enormously big ranch and secondly, you were having all this trouble with Courtney and her new love who wasn't just some man but the King of Pop.

You looked at your phone. It was 6am. Then you remembered last night and how Courtney got drunk. You decided to go check on her, see if she's ok, although, you were certain she was still sleeping because she would usually sleep until 11 or 12am (especially after drinking that much).

You got up and put your robe on. You left the room to find yourself in that long corridor again. 'Now... which one was Courtney's room?' you were thinking. Then you remembered 'This one!'.

You knocked very gently on the door 'cause if she was sleeping, which she definitely was, you didn't want to wake her up. No answer. Yeah she was sleeping. You quietly opened the door and went inside only to find the bed empty. 'Where is this girl? It's 6am she can't be up! Oh Lord, don't tell me she sneaked into his room!' then you heard running water from the bathroom. 'She's in the bathroom? So early... unusual.'. Anyway, you decided to go knock and check on her but as you got in front of the door with your hand about to knock, you heard strange noises. It was Courtney's voice. She sounded like she was hurting or throwing up? You got really scared for her "COURTNEY!" and just quickly pushed the door open and Lord.... no words could describe how much you regretted doing that.

First thing you saw was Michael, naked, with Courtney, naked too, she had wrapped her legs around his waist, while he was holding her by the thighs in the air, supporting her against the wall, thrusting inside your sister, both of them covered in sweat, his hair messed up, and his muscles flexed 'cause obviously they were in the middle of making love. You froze. As they saw you there, Courtney said "OH DAMMIT!" and Michael's face became HELL RED! He quickly tried to hide their naked bodies and grabbed towels from the bathroom shelf. Covered himself quickly while turning around so you won't see his face and passed Courtney a towel too. While he was so embarrassed and uncomfortable with the situation, it seemed like Courtney didn't care much... She was only sorry that you interrupted the 'fun'. This pissed you off.

"OH MY GOD! I DID NOT NEED TO SEE THIS!" you quickly closed your eyes and hid your burning face with your hand while you used your other one to close the door shut. All you could do was run to your room and hide. Why did you have to get in the bathroom like this! But Courtney was... and what kind of sounds was she making!? It sounded like she was dying and not having sex! You caught your little sister having sex! SO EMBARRASSING! You didn't know how you were gonna look them in the eyes, well, Courtney was your sister and no matter how embarrassing it was, she's still your family, but Michael!? In your opinion, the best thing to do was pretend that nothing happened! You saw nothing, end of story! Then Courtney came in. She had the towel wrapped around her body.

"YN, have you heard that people actually knock on the door before coming in?" she said sarcastically.
"I did knock but if you weren't too damn busy doing SOMETHING, you might have actually heard me!! And what kind of sounds were you making! I thought you were dying in there I got scared and came in!"
"You know what... forget it. Just make sure it doesn't happen again, you got Michael so embarrassed that he locked himself in the room and doesn't wanna come out!" she was waving her hands around in anger.
"Oh I embarrassed him? 'Cause he looked damn well to me while fucking you!".
"Oh God... whatever!" she said while dressing. You went to the bathroom to wet your face to kind of relax you. You looked yourself in the mirror and then, all of a sudden, an image of pregnant Courtney occurred to you 'Is he using a condom? Are they using any kind of protection? OH GOD HE GETTING COURTNEY PREGNANT IS THE LAST THING I NEED!' you scurried back in the room.

"Are you using protection?" you raised your voice. She turned around to face you.
"Don't worry about it, what do you think that  I want kids... pfu.. what am I even supposed to do with a baby... and not to mention I don't wanna ruin my life right now!" she said. You kinda felt calmer but still even if she didn't wanted to, sometimes things like that happen accidentally.
"Still you have to use protection!" you didn't wanna ask her that but you had to "Are you on the pill?"
"No."
"Ok, did he use a condom?"
"No." you sighed.
"And you're telling me this so calmly like it's completely fine!"
"Yes because it is."
"Please tell him to use a condom from now on!"
"I don't want condoms! I wanna get the real feelin' if you know what I mean!" she winked at you and went to the bathroom. There was no meaning in trying to explain her things. You had to wait for the right moment and talk to him instead. Maybe he as an adult was way more responsible than her but still you had to make sure.

You decided you wanted to leave. What you just went through was too much so you had the driver take you home, without doing the Neverland-tour that he promised yesterday. You didn't even see him anymore and you didn't want to because you were very embarrassed too. Courtney remained there.

When she came back home after spending the whole day there with him, the girl was so excited that she followed you around while you were making dinner, telling you about all the things she saw and did at Neverland - the parks, the rides, the theatre, the animals, the pool.... You've never seen her more excited before.

You had to confess to yourself that after hearing all this, you kind of wanted to have not left in the morning, instead stayed, and see and do the same things. You secretly hoped you would get another chance to go to Neverland.

While dining, Courtney said that she had invited Michael over to dinner.
"He'll come next week when he's less busy 'cause he works whole day until late.."
"Aren't you afraid of him coming here?"
"Why would I be?!"
"Because, Courtney, our house is so small and simple. In comparison to his house, ours is like a box!"
"It's ok, YN, he's not like that at all! You'll see."

Anyway, you agreed since you'll get a chance to talk to him about... you know what. And to be honest, you kind of wanted to see him... you didn't know why.. it's just this man had something intoxicating about him. But that was only 'cause you wanted to get to know the man your sister's dating since you were concerned about her.

You washed the dishes and went to bed.

Only one thing you couldn't grasp.... Michael is known for his love for children and the way Courtney talked about kids earlier... He loves them, she hates them! He must want to have children of his own one day but then Courtney doesn't... Does he even know how she feels about having children? 'Why am I even thinking about it! It's not like she's gonna marry him and spend her life with him!! I need to calm down. This relationship is not gonna last. Yes. I know her and she'll soon get tired of him as she does with everything else. She'll eventually graduate school and maybe go to college and find a nice man, become mature and THEN start a family of her own.' you calmed yourself down.

Next week, Friday

You haven't seen Michael since last week Saturday. Courtney met him few times, he took her out to dinner and today he was coming over to dinner. You had already cooked and prepared the food, keeping it warm until he comes very soon. Courtney was up in her room applying make up, doing her hair and trying all her clothes - she always did that before meeting Michael.

The door bell rung. This must be him. You got up and headed for the door but before you got there you saw Courtney running down the stairs "NOOO stay away I'll get it!!" and in just a few seconds she was opening the door. You saw her open her arms wide, hugging him and pulling him inside. He had sun glasses on and a hood over his head to hide his face. They kissed like two teenagers. The kissing went for too long so you
"Ahem!" they got your message and stopped.
"Oh sorry.." he said.
"Sugar, c'mon in!" she grabbed his hand and led him to the kitchen. You were leaning on the kitchen door so they had to pass around you to get in. She passed you and his turn came, because he was standing behind her being led.. he looked you in the eyes and
"Hi..." he had a shy smile on.
"Hi." you replied dryly.
"Do you like it?" she asked him, pointing to the table that was already set.
"Yeah... it looks great!"
"I did it for you!" she said. WHAT? But you did everything, the cooking, the decoration, the table... Still you said nothing. You understood her, she wanted to impress him.

He looked around the room and the house, she took him upstairs, showed him the rooms... Then they returned downstairs to eat. All of you sat on the table and begun dining.

"I like your place, it's very cozy!" he said. Courtney was staring at him like a child would stare at a pile of the finest candy. She might even start drooling soon.
"Thanks." you replied.
"Did you select all the furniture yourself?"
"Yes. I can't afford a designer..."
"Wow... 'cause it looks wonderful! You have great taste and know a lot about colors and how to match them together..."
"Well... thanks." Why was he telling you that? Did he really meant it or was he only trying to get on your good side.
"But your house is the best sugar! I told YN all about it... what we did after she left and all the things you showed me!" Courtney jumped in.
"Yeah.. she did. She was very excited."
"I was!" your sister said and he nodded while chewing his food.

You continued talking about many things. Mostly, it was him and Courtney talking, you would only listen and say 'yeah' or nod or shake your head. Few times, you caught him looking at you and when you noticed he would quickly look away. 'He must still be embarrassed because of last week..' you thought.

He was telling you and Courtney all about the shooting of his new video. He even invited you to go there on the set with him. You didn't like it all. Last thing you wanted was Courtney in this kind of environment and especially, seen with Michael Jackson. If paparazzi found out about her, she'd be all over the news and her normal life - RUINED!

You had finished eating and now were only sitting on the table, talking until Courtney's phone rung

"Hello, Stacy!". Stacy was Courtney's best friend from school "What's up?" she was smiling. "WHAT? NOO!" her facial expression changed. "He didn't! OMG! Ok, I'm coming... yeah tell them I'm coming!"

"What happened?" I asked her.
"It's Chad" she got up "He's at the hospital and his parents are there... He's not ok I have to go now!" she turned to Michael "Michael, I'm really sorry! I'll explain when I get back I promise!"
"It's ok. Go if you have to but who's this Chad?"
"He's a friend of mine.. I'll tell you later I have to leave now! You stay here and wait for me, ok?"
"Ok."

WHAT? Stay here and wait for her? Here with me! What am I supposed to do all alone with him!

You told her to be careful and call you then she kissed him on the lips and left. He offered to driver her to the hospital and you were praying she would say 'yes' even though you knew she couldn't... she can't take him to her ex and let's not forget he's Michael Jackson, he can't just go there like that.

Anyway, you closed the door behind her and now it was only you and him. You took a deep breath, went to the kitchen and sat back on the table on your place which was in front of him.

His hands were placed on the table and he was nervously playing with his long fingers. You were nervous too. You were sweating and it appeared to you that the oxygen in the room was gone. You wanted to escape from this situation, and him, so you said
"I'll clean the table!" and quickly got up.
"I'll help you." he said and got up as well. You were hoping he would just stay on his place...

You cleaned the table and did the dishes together. While doing that, none of you said a single word. You didn't even look at each other.

Now that there was nothing else to be done, it became even more awkward. You felt like you were two children on a first date. And the silence was killing you! It was uncomfortable.

"Well... you wanna watch TV?" he broke the silence.
"Yeah." you replied and headed to the living room. You sat on the couch and he followed you. He kept like a pillow distance between the two of you. You took the remote and turned on the TV. You put on some movie and the two of you watched... or at least him. You were watching but couldn't see or hear a thing. You spent a while like this. He fixed his throat a few times and you pretended to drink water 'cause it kept you busy. The movie was over. 'NOOOO' you were thinking...

"What do you wanna watch next?" you asked him.
"Actually... I wanted to do something else.."
"What?"
"I was wondering if you could show me pictures of Courtney and you when you were little.. I really wanna see you as children.."
"Well... fine. Let me go upstairs get the album."
"Ok."

Looking at pictures? Not bad idea. It will at least keep you occupied. You took the album and returned downstairs. He was there waiting. You sat back on the sofa and he changed his position, turning around to sit in front of you. You placed the album between the two of you and opened it.

"Here." you said. He started looking through the pictures.
"This is you!"
"Yes."
"I recognized you. And this must be Courtney?"
"It is."
"She's very sweet!"
"Yes, she was very cute as a kid."
"Is this you mother and father?" he pointed at a picture.
"Yeah..."
"You're mom was beautiful!"
"Yes, she was very pretty!" you said with a smile on your face 'cause the memories of her came back to you.
"You look like her..." you then looked at him and saw him staring at you.
"I do..?"
"Yes." he said with his calm voice, still looking in your eyes. This became awkward. He finally looked away and while, few seconds ago, you wanted him to stop staring at you, you regretted it now. You felt like hypnotized by his deep brown eyes. You had to admit, even if you didn't like it, that they were really beautiful and you wanted to look in them some more. You snapped back to Earth when your phone rung.
"It's Courtney!" you said. "Yes? What happened? Aha, aha.. But he's ok right? Really?" you sighed "Well ok, yeah ok. I'll tell him. Yes, Bye." you hung up "She said she'll be late. She has to stay there longer. Chad's not very well...  And she told me to tell you to wait for her here."
"Alright. Who's this Chad anyway?"
"He's her.... ex boyfriend." you told him.
"Oh... Do you have one?"
"Boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"No, I don't.."
"How is that possible!" he said looking at you. Why was he complimenting you? If you didn't know he was in love with Courtney, you'd think he's hitting on you.
"Courtney said you can sleep in her room so if you're tired you can-" you quickly changed the topic.
"I'm not tired." he cut you off.
"How did you meet my sister?" you asked out of the blue after a while of silence.
"I found her in my dressing room after the concert..."
"What really?"
"Yes."
"How did she get in there?"
"I asked myself the same question!" he giggled. "We started talking and you know... it just happened."
"I can't believe she sneaked into your dressing room! Sometimes, she's acts like a little rebel!" he laughed.
"It's ok... but I'm glad she did it 'cause I met her..." after a pause he said "and you.." you looked away. So did he. "You love her very much..." he broke the silence.
"I do. And that's why I want to keep her out of trouble... which reminds me.. tonight when you offered to take her on the set with you..."
"Yes?"
"DON'T!"
"Why not?"
"'Cause I don't want her to be seen around you! I don't want her to be on the news! I don't want her to live like this! She is still very young for things like that and she's... rebellious and I'm just afraid for her.."
"I understand what you mean... I am a trouble indeed.." his voice cracked and he looked down "I won't invite her again on the set or do others things like that if you're not ok with it.." WHAT? He actually agreed with you?
"Thanks. And one more thing..."
"What?"
"Please use protection... you know what I mean." he nodded.
"Don't worry... I'm a grown man, you know..."
"Last thing I want is her pregnant from you..." he didn't say anything but then
"Seems like you don't like me at all.."
"That's very true!"
"Why?"
"Because... you're bad for Courtney! And you'll only hurt her."
"I won't hurt her! She's very dear to me! Why don't you give me a chance? I can prove you that I'm not who you think I am..."
"I don't want you to prove things..."
"You're judging without even knowing me.... like everybody else do with me..." you felt hurt by his words. You're like everybody else? Judging him? Maybe he was right but it still hurt you.
"I'm going to bed. You know where Courtney's room is when you feel like sleeping. Goodnight." you got up and headed to your bedroom. He said, almost inaudible
"Goodnight..."
