Michael's point of view

Well, as Carson is speaking, I can't stop thinking about what just happened with June. Seriously, the guy was looking at her like she was a piece of meat or something. I know June is beautiful, she's even more than this. I never met someone as beautiful and sexy as her. I'm very flattered that men envy me for having such a beautiful girl by my side, but I can't help it: I'm jealous when it comes to June. I mean, I've never been so in love with someone as I am in love with June. I know she is the one, my soul mate. I really don't want a man who is looking this way at my woman as my manager. I don't know what he is capable of...

"Um, Mr. Jackson?" I heard Carson's voice said.

"Um yes. What were you saying?" I asked, looking at him.

"I was just saying that you have a beautiful girl by your side!" He said, smiling.

"Yeah, you already said that." I said, in a drier way than expected. His smile slowly faded.

"Um, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you or something. I'm a little bit awkward sometimes..." I said, hiding his head in his hands.

"It's ok." I marked a pause. "So, how long have you been in this industry?"  I asked, faking a smile.

"Fourteen years. Here is my resumé if you want to take a look at it." He declared, handing me his resumé. I took a careful look at it,and noticed Carson used to be Lionel Richie's manager. Lionel is a friend of mine, he really is a great guy. We kind of have the same ideas, and that was a real pleasure to write We Are The World with him.

"So you used to be Lionel Richie's manager? What happened?"

"Um, I'm sorry it's really confidential." He said, looking at his lap.

"If you wanna be my manager, you have to tell me this. I don't want bad suprises to happen." I sternly said.

"I-um... Lionel thought I was having an affair with his wife." He declared, playing with his fingers.

"Did you?" I asked, nervous.

"It was more than this. We were in love, and still are. Courtney just told me that she can't leave him, so I got married, and I'm happy now. Even though I won't forget her..." He said with sadness in his voice.

"Does Lionel know this?"

"No. It been a long time now." He marked a pause and looked deep in my eyes. "Mr. Jackson, I just want you to know that I don't want my reputation to be jeopardized because of what happened with Courtney. I am a good manager, I know it and you know it, that's why you called me. I really want this job."

"I guess I have to trust people again..."

"May I ask you why you said 'again'?"

"Frank DiLeo, my former manager. He betrayed me, he did things I never thought he would be capable to do. He didn't accept June because he said she was nothing but a distraction to me. He was violent and rude towards her, thatw why I fired him." I told him, feeling the anger boiling in me, like every time I speak about this man.

"Love is the most important thing on this planet, I won't ever forbid you to be with the woman you love. However, if I am your manager, I'll have to make sure you're focused, that's all." He said, winking at me.

"Yeah, I understand" I answered, faking a smile. I know I really should trust people again, but with what happened with Lionel's wife, I'm pretty sure it can happen again. Am I being paranoid? Maybe, but I really don't want another freak around me, around us. "Consider today as a try. If everything's going well today, I'll hire you."

"Great!" He said with enthusiasm.

We talked about me after that. He asked me a couple of question about what Frank used to do, and what I wanted him to do. Half an hour has gone by, and we returned inside the room. June was sitting on the couch, reading a book and when she saw me walking towards her, a smile instantly spread accross her face.

"So, how was it?" She asked me with a smile.

"Good." I answered, smiling back at her.

"Well, I'll see you guy tonight for the show. It was a pleasure to meet you, miss Wellington." He told her with a smile. I accompanied him to the door, and he left. I heard June's footsteps behind me, and seconds later she jumped on my back, her arms wrapped around my neck and her legs wrapped around my waist. She placed a trail of kisses on my neck.

"Someone seems happy" I said, giggling.

"I am happy, I have a good feeling about him!" She said in my ear.

"Yeah, I don't know..." I told her, rubbing her arm.

"What is it?" She asked, letting go of me. I turned over to face her, and took her hands in mine. We sat on the couch and I explained her the conversation with Carson, and she seemed a little bit shocked when I told her the whole thing about him and Lionel's wife. However, she found the right words to reassure me, like she always does. She told me I should give him a chance, that he seems to be a good guy considering his past as a manager. I heard a lot of good things about him, so I will give him his chance. I told June to be careful anyway. Carson has to gain my trust.

"Everything's going to be fine, honey." She assured me.

"As long as you are here, I know it's going to be fine." I said, sincerely smiling at her.

She smiled and kissed me softly.

"I've planned something for you" she declared, causing me to raise an eyebrow. "Would you like to go in a children's hospital?"

"You planned this? Oh baby, you're amazing. I'd love to!" I said hugging her tightly. "When do we leave?"

"Whenever you're ready" she answered with a smile.

"Let's go, then!" I said excitedly, which caused June to giggle.

June's point of view

We are at the hospital now, and many journalists are here, taking picture of Michael and the children. When they saw him enterring their room, the smile on their face was the best thing I've ever witnessed. Those cancer kids have a rough life because of their disease, and making them feel better by Michael's presence feels so good. Michael is now chatting with two leukemia kids, and I'm sitting with Berverly, a 8-year-old little girl who also has leukemia. She turned out to be American. Her aunt came here because she heard that this hospital is one of the best in the world to treat leukemia. The poor little girl lost her parents in a fire. Their house burnt and she was the only survivor of this nightmare.

"You are so beautiful" she said to me, slightly blushing.

"You are even more beautiful" I answered, rubbing her arm.

"No, I'm not. You have beautiful hair, and I don't have mine anymore..." She said, looking at her lap.

"This doesn't matter, sweetheart. It's the soul that matters, ok? Hair is just something useless. Plus, it will grow, you'll find them back when you're healed." I said, smiling.

"What if I never heal? I am scared, I don't wanna die."

"You'll heal. It's going to take time, but you will, sweetie."

I noticed a tear escaping her eyes, so I gently pulled her against my chest, rocking her back and forth. I almost cried myself. This little girl doesn't deserve this, any of this children deserve what is happening to them...

"I've never fell in love, and I want to before I die." She said, sobbing on my chest. "Are you in love?" She asked me.

"You'll have the time to fall in love because you're going to fight for your life, you hear me?" I said, lifting her chin up.

She nodded, and I wiped her tears away. She gave me a weak smile.

"And to answer your question, yes. I am in love." I said, feeling my heart beating fast as I was thinking about Michael.

"What's his name?" She asked me.

"Um, Michael." I whispered to her. She looked at me with wide eyes. "Michael Jackson." I whispered with a grin. "This is a secret, ok?"

"I won't tell anybody, I promise!" She said, smiling from ear to ear. "How does it feel to be in love?"

"It's the greatest feeling ever." I said, looking at Michael. "It's like you are flying every single day. Your heart beats fast when you're with the one you love, or even when you think about him."

"This is how you feel with Michael?" She asked me, visibly captivated by what I'm saying.

"This is exactly what I..." I stopped in the middle of my sentence as Michael was approaching us. He was followed by some journalists who were taking pictures of him.

"Hey there" he said with a smile, looking at Beverly. "What were you speaking about?" He asked the little girl.

"Love" Beverly shyly answered.

"Love is a wonderful feeling, you know. What were you saying about it?"

"June was telling me how she feels about her boyfriend" she said with a huge smile. "She's really in love with him, and I would like to feel the same way later."

"Oh, that's interesting. Love happens, you will find somebody to love, I promise." He said, kissing her forehead. At this moment, I felt butterflies in my stomach. This man is so sweet. It's amazing how important you feel when you're around Michael.

Michael stood up, and went to see sick babies. I stayed here with Berverly. I don't think I am strong enough to be around sick babies, it breaks my heart so much.

"You're very lucky, Michael is very handsome" Beverly told me in a shy voice. She was blushing hard.

"There is no reason to feel embarrassed about this, you're right. Michael is the most sex- I mean handsome man on this planet." I said with a grin.

"You both are perfect together" she declared, hugging me tightly. I thanked her, and rubbed her back gently. This girl is so sweet, I swear. She seems so mature already whereas she's only eight. She reminds me of myself when I was her age. I've always been curious about adult things, just as love, having children, getting married and so on. Thinking about leaving her breaks my heart a little. I guess I could call her to check on her. I really want all this kids to get better.

An hour later, Michael told me we should get going because he has to be in the stadium in an hour and half. I said goodbye to everybody, and gave a hug to Beverly. She thanked me and told me to call her as soon as possible. I noticed she was crying, and let out a tear too. I wished her to recover fast and waved her goodbye. Poor little girl...

We made it to the limo, and Pit openened the door for us. We jumped in it, and returned to the hotel. Michael put his hand on my thigh, and looked at me.

"Are you ok, baby?" He softly asked me.

"Yeah. It's just that things shouldn't happen to innocent children. Beverly lost her parents, her home and now the poor little girl is sick. I don't understand..."

"I hate this too..." He told me, rubbing my thigh. "You two bounded, uh?"

"Yeah, she reminds me of myself at her age. I was curious about things adults talk about, like love, wedding, having children... It was my dream as a little girl." I said, smiling.

"It was your dream?" Michael asked, insinting on the word "was".

"It still is, but it's not my number one dream." I sincerely answered.

"What is your number one dream, then?"

I knew he would ask...

"Having my dad and brother back." I said, looking at my lap.

Michael came closer to me and hugged me. I rested my head on his shoulder. "You'll see them again when the time is right." He whispered, and placed a kiss on my forehead.

A couple of minutes later, we were struggling to reach the hotel. There were a lot of fans out there. We made it safe to our room, and the first thing Michael did was to give me a passionate kiss on the lips. He placed his hands around my neck to deepen the kiss while mine were on his lower back. I pulled him closer to me and lowered my hands a little so they were now on his butt. I squeezed it a little which made him gasp. I laugh through the kiss and Michael broke it.

"I like this butt..." I said as an excuse.

"I know you do" he said in a sexy tone. "Thank you for this visit. It was nice to be around children" He said, rubbing my cheek with his thumb.

"My pleasure." I said with a smile. "You should get prepared, we have to be at the stadium at seven."

"Why did I need a new manager when I have you?" He asked with a smile.

"You need a professional, which I'm not. Plus, I can't be your girlfriend and your manager."

"Mmmh, you're probably right."

Michael made his way to the bathroom and removed his clothes. He hopped in the shower, and of course I joined him by surprise. I stripped my clothes too, and joined him. When he saw me, he shook his head a little came closer to me. I seductively smiled at him and wrapped my arms around his neck. Seconds later, my back was on the shower wall, and Michael was kissing and sucking on my neck. I'll let you imagine how this -hot- shower ended...

When I stepped out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around my body, just as Michael. We brushed our teeths and Michael shaved. I sat on my the edge of the bathtub and brushed my hair. I couldn't help but stared at  Michael's bare chest. He has well-shaped abs and his arms and shoulders are so muscular.

"Like what you see?" He asked me while rincing his face.

"I love it." I answered, giving him a half smile.

He slighty laughed and went on the dressing room to put his Bad Tour outfit. I followed him and picked a black sleevless dress. I removed the towel from my body and put some matching panties and bra while Michael put some boxers which perfectly shows his ass. I put my dress on, and heard a knock at the door. I opened it and greeted Karen with a huge hug.

"Hey beautiful. Is Michael ready for the make up magic?" She asked as she stepped into our room.

"Um, let's see." I said with a smile. "Mickey, Karen's here, are you ready!?" I yelled accross the room.

"Yeah, I'm coming, babe!" He yelled back.

"You two are so cute" she declared, sitting on the couch with her make up suitcase. "Are you both fine?"

"Yeah, we're more than fine." I said with a huge smile. "He asked me to move in with him when the tour is over."

"What?! That's amazing, girl!" She exlamed, hugging me.

"Yeah, I can't wait, honestly." I sincerely said.

"What is it you can't wait for?" Michael asked from behind me.

Oops. I don't know if I was supposed to tell Karen or not...

"To see you performing tonight." I lied with a smile.

"It's not the first time" he said, laughing.

"But every time you do your magic is even more amazing than the first time." I said with a large smile.

He blushed a little and pecked my lips, which caused a "awwwww" from Karen. Michael gave her a friendly hug and sat on a chair next to us.

"Let's do my magic now" she said, which made us laugh a little.

While Michael was between Karen's hands, I went to the bathroom and did my hair and make up. I put some perfume on. As I was returning in the living room, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it, and let John in.

"You look stunning, miss Wellington." John complimented me.

"Thank you." I nervously answered. "Come with me, Michael is in the living room with his make up artist."

As we were heading the living room, I could feel Carson's eyes on my butt while I was walking. It made me feel so uncomfortable. I know I should be flattered, but it's a little bit weird coming from my man's manager.

We're finally at the stadium. Michael and his back up singers are warming up, and I am with Karen in Michael's dressing room.

"Why didn't you tell Mike you're excited to move in with him later when he asked you?"

"I don't know if I have the right to tell you already or not... I just wanted to tell someone, you know."

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind you telling me." She assured me.

I smiled and Michael came in. Karen excused herself and let us both alone.

"I have to go in two minutes." Michael said, taking my hand.

"I told Karen you asked me to move on with you, I'm sorry." I quickly said, afraid of his answer.

"You did?" He asked me in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm so sorry, I didn't k..."

Michael cut me off by kissing me passionately. I could feel his smile through the kiss, so I smiled back. When he pulled back, he was still smiling. He kissed my lips again and again.

"I'm... happy... you... did" he said between small kisses on my lips and neck.

I smiled widely at him and John told him to go on stage, that it was time. I met Karen in the backstages, and I told her what just happened. She just said "I told you so" with an attitude, which made me laugh. John was behind us, dealing with some papers. He seems very professional, even if he has wandering eyes.

A minute later, the stage became darker and the fans were screaming louder. The first notes of Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' echoed in the arena, and Michael appeared.

Time to watch my magical man in action.
