Three weeks later, Neverland, Los Olivos, CA
10/20/1987

Michael's point of view 

Home sweet home! We're back in Neverland since yesterday night, and it feels so good to wake up at ten in the morning. I really need this three weeks break. Touring is the most exhausting thing in the world, seriously. It feels good to be home, I missed Neverland a lot. This place is the only place where I feel like myself. Neverland is me, you know. This is a part of who I am, and I am proud I created it. June love this place as much as I do. She uses to say that, wherever you're from, when you set foot in here, you automatically feel like you're home. Speaking of June, she wanted to come here with me for a week, and then she'll come back to New York to check on her mom. Today is the day she'll meet my family, because we're having a family dinner, since I came back from tour. On the one hand, I'm really excited to see them all again, I really missed them. But on the other hand, I'm feeling anxious about it. I don't know what June will think of them, and what Joseph will think about her. I hope everything is going to be fine. 

"Hey you" said June in a raspy voice as she just woke up.

"Hey beautiful, sleep well?" I gently asked her. 

"Coudn't have slept better" She said, placing her head on my chest. "What about you?"

"Fine" I simply answered, caressing her long blond hair. "You know what today is?" 

"It been two months I met the love of my life." She answered, removing her head from my chest to look at me with a smile. "And this is the day I got to meet his family." 

I smiled back at her and softly kissed her lips. "You're ready?"

"Nervous, but ready." She said, rubbing my cheek with her hand. "We should get up and get prepared, you know." She said before kissing my jaw multiple times. 

"I don't wanna leave this bed" I whined. June continued to kiss me all over my face and my neck and chest. "And I won't get up if you don't stop kissing me this way." I added.

"If you could stop being so sexy, I wouldn't kiss you this way, you know" she said in my ear. 

I laughed and throw her on the side so I could be on top of her. "You're the sexy one" I seductively said. I kissed her neck and left a little hickey on it. I returned to her mouth and gave her a tongue laced kiss. She let out a small moan on my mouth, which made me smile. I pulled away and noticed June's eyes were full of desire. I decided to get out of bed to tease her because I knew she wanted -just like me- to go further. Sadly, we don't have time for this, I don't want to be late for my family day. 

"Why are you doing this to me?" I heard June whined. 

"Just as you said, we should get up and get prepared, so that's what I'm doing. No offense..." I said, holding my laughter. 

"You don't have the right to tease me this way! I want you" She whined again, pouting her lips. 

"You'll have to wait for this, babygirl." I said, winking at her. 

"I hate you, Jackson." She said, getting up from the bed and walking towards me. "And I am taking the bathroom."  She added, walking passed me. I laughed hard, I love when she's mad at me this way. She's so cute!

"I'll be downstairs if you're looking for me!" I called, walking out of the bedroom.

"I won't be looking for you, dumbass!" She called back from the bathroom, which made me laugh even harder. 

"Watch your mouth!" I called once again before I was in the hallaway. I went downstairs and greeted my maids with a nod. They asked me if I wanted something for breakfast, but I declined. I made my way directly to the bathroom, and began my morning routine. I didn't wash my hair because I've already washed them yesterday. As a consequence, I was out of the shower five minutes later. I wrapped a towel around my waist, and brushed my teeth. I noticed I forgot to take my clothes before I left the bedroom, so I put my pajamas back on. I returned in my bedroom, and saw June in front of the dressing room, a towel wrapped around her body. I tip-toed to her and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind.

"Stay away from me, you're mean with me!" She said, trying to get out from my hold. She made me laugh. "I swear, you'll pay for this" She said, turning to face me. I could see she was holding her laughter. 

"I'm sorry, but I don't want us to be late." I said, caressing her bare shoulder. "And I like to tease you..." I added with a smile. 

"What goes around, comes around, baby."  She said, winking at me. 

I slightly laughed and kissed her lips. "Whatever." I pecked her lips once again and said, "What are you going to wear?"

"I have no idea. You tell me" She said, looking up at me. 

"Well, I would choose this one" I said, handing her a twirl black sleevless dress. 

"You sure it's not too short? I don't wanna look provocative..." She said, visibly nervous. 

"It's going to be perfect." I answered with a smile.

June's point of view

Hayvenhurst, Encino, CA

Ok, here we go. We just arrived in front of Michael's family's house, and my heart is going to get out of my chest. I feel so nervous! And apprently, Michael noticed it. He didn't let go of my hand since we left Neverland while he was driving. Yep, you read right; Michael was actually driving. I understand why he doesn't drive that much, he's such a terrible driver. I mean, he drives well, but he drives way too fast. Before we got out of the car, Michael squeezed my hand a little for comfort, and gave me a sweet kiss on the cheek, and told me everything's going to be fine. He opened my door, and offered me his hand, which I gladly took. As we were walking to the door, my heart kept beating like hell, and tons of questions were running through my head like, "What if they don't like me?"; "What if they think I'm bad for Michael?"; "What if his father is not ok with our relationship?"... 

Michael knocked at the door, and fast a small but beautiful woman opened the door. Michael's mother, I guess. 

"Oh, Michael! How are you, son?" She asked, hugging him tightly. 

"Hi mother. I'm doing great." He said, breaking the hug. "Mother, this is June, my girlfriend, June, this is Katherine, my mother." Michael said to his mom. I held out my hand for her to shake it, but she put me in a warm embrace instead. I hugged her back and said, "This is a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Jackson."

"Please, call me Katherine, dear." She said with a wide smile. "Come on in!"

Michael took my hand and we came into the house. God, this house is so beautiful, just like it is from the outside. I came in, and there a bunch of people came to the door. Janet came over Michael running, and jump in his arms. He told me they were very close. 

"I missed you so much, Applehead!" She said, holding him by his neck. 

"I missed you too, Dunk, really." He said, letting go of her. 

"Hey brother, who's this?" Asked one of his brother, pointing to me.

"Listen you all, this is June, my girlfriend. Baby, meet the family." He said, looking down at me. I waved at everybody, but soon they all came to me to hug me. 

"Girl, you're so beautiful!" Said Janet, giving me a warm hug. 

"Why, thank you! You look gorgeous yourself" I answered, with a large smile, which made her blush a little. Shy as her big brother, I thought.

"My sister's right, you sure are a georgous woman", declared another one. "I'm Randy, and this is very nice to meet you, June" He said, kissing my hand. 

"Don't start, Romeo!" Called Michael behind us. 

"Sorry, bro, but she's really hot..." He said, letting go of my hand.

"It's nice to meet you too, Randy." I said, giggling. 

Then the other ones came to greet me: Marlon, Jermaine, LaToya, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine. They were all here, except Rebbie, she couldn't make it because her daughter Stacee was sick. They're all lovely, and so nice. They told Michael he was lucky to have a girlfriend as beautiful as I am, and I felt very flattered. Now, I'm waiting to meet Joseph, and I have to admitt that I'm a little bit scared. 

Katherine asked everyone to gather in the living room, and we did. I sat between Janet and Michael who took my hand and placed it on his lap. I had the impression that every eyes were on me and Michael. 

"So, how was the tour, Michael?" Katherine asked. 

"Come on, mother! We don't care about the tour!" Said Janet. "Why didn't you tell us how you met instead?" asked Janet, which made me and Michael giggle. 

"Well, it's a pretty fun story, I have to say." Michael said, turning his head to look at me. Suddenly, his face changed as he was looking at something -someone- behind me: Joseph. 

"You're back, son." He said. Michael stood up and made his way to his dad to give him a short hug to greet him. I followed behind him.

"Hi, Joseph." He softly said. "Let me introduce you June, my girlfriend." I nodded and held out my hand to him, which he gently shook. 

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jackson." I said, trying to hide my nervousness. 

"My pleasure, miss." He declared with a little smile. 

Ok, this went pretty good. 

"Michael! Come on, we wanna know!" LaToya called from the living room. 

"What did I miss?" asked Joseph to Michael.

"Oh um, nothing. They just wanna know how June and I met." He answered nervously. 

"I wanna hear that story, too! Go ahead, tell us, son." 

We came back in the living room, and sat on the couch where we were before Joseph arrived. 

This is going to be embarassing for me...

"So," Michael began. "I was in NYC for the tour, and when I made a break before singing the band's songs, I took a quick look at the audience, and noticed this pretty girl who proudly held a 'Will You Marry Me?' sign, and I found this pretty funny, actually." He said, looking down at me, who was hiding my face with my hands. He giggled and removed my hands from my face. "Then, as the show was ending, I really wanted to meet that girl with that beautiful smile I noticed in the audience, so I asked Pit to come out to get her. We talked a little, and then we became friends. One thing led to another, now we're together and we're truly happy." He declared, looking at me with his sparkly eyes.

"Awww that's so cute!" exclaimed Janet and LaToya in unison. 

"So, what's the answer?" 

"The answer for what, Jackie?" Michael asked. 

"Will you marry her, duh! She proposed you on that sign, you know" said Jackie, which made everyone laugh. 

"I will, someday." he seriously said, wrapping one of his arm around me with a smile on his face. 

Uh? What just happened? Did he just say in front of his entire family that he's planning to marry me? Stop looking at him like this, you idiot! Smile, June, smile! 

"If she wants to, of course" Michael said, his smile slowly fading away.

"She already said she want to the very first day you guys met, bro!" exclamed Marlon.

"Of course I'd love to marry you" I said in a soft voice. 

"That's a good thing to know" He said, -trying to- wink at me. 

I tried to hold my laughter, but I couldn't help it and let it out. Everyone was staring at me, but really I didn't care. It was so fun to witness! He knows he can't wink, but he keeps doing it. He did it earlier, but I guess I was too nervous to make fun of him. 

"What?" Michael asked, laughing. Even though he doesn't know why I'm laughing, he laughs because I kind of have an infectious laugh. 

"You're so cute when you try to wink!" I said, giggling. Everyone laughed along with us.

"This has always been Michael's weakness..." said Katherine, giggling too. 

"I can't wink, and I'm not the only one on this Earth who can't do this, you know!" Michael declared, trying to defend himself. 

"You can moonwalk, but you can't wink, that's sad" Janet teased him, which made me laugh along with her. 

"Come on, Dunk! Why are you doing this to me?" Michael asked, faking to be sad.

"I like to embarass you, Applehead" 

He sticked out his tongue at her, and then Katherine told us to gather around the table. Time to eat! 

Once again, I sat between Janet and Michael, and Randy and Marlon were sat across from us. I put my hand on Michael's thigh under the table, which made him look at me. 

"I'll teach you how to wink" I whispered, smiling at him.

"Is this your revenge for earlier?" he whispered back. 

"Oh boy, no it's not. My revenge will be worse than this..." He shook his head and leaned down to kiss my lips. I pecked his lips quickly, which caused him to pout his lips. "You'll have more later" I whispered in his ear. He gave me a seductive look, and put his hand on mine, which was still on his thigh.

Michael's point of view

We just finished to clean the table now. Lunch was delicious, as always. My mother is a great cook. I was happy to see that June is getting along with my mother and my sisters. As I made my way to the kitchen, I heard the three of them giggling. When I arrived, they stopped giggling, and Janet hid something behind her back. 

"Oh hey Mike, what's up?" She asked, like I didn't know she's up to something. 

"What are you up to, Jackson?" I asked her, getting closer to her. 

"Um, nothing." She answered, taking a step back. 

"Come on, give your big brother a hug." 

"Um, no thank you." she said, smiling. 

June approched her and whispered something in her ear. What are they doing?

"Can I have a hug?" June asked me, walking closer to me. 

As suspicious as I was, I agreed to give June a hug. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I pulled her closer to me by her waist. "What are you girls up to?" 

"Nothing, why?" She said, inches from my mouth.

"I-..." I didn't have the time to answer because June cut me off by kissing me passionately. I heard Janet and Toya said "ewww" behind us, but I didn't care. I closed my eyes, and enjoyed the kiss. June pulled back seconds later, and looked up at me. 

"Where's Janet?" I asked LaToya. 

"Um, gone!" she answered nonchalantly. 

"June Aurélie Wellington, what were you guys laughing at?"

"Nothing! We were having a girl talk!"

"I'm sure she showed you this picture of me in the bathroom when I was still a baby!"

"Um... no." 

"Don't lie to me, I know this is what she was hiding behind her back, I know her by heart."

"Touché..." 

"I knew it! If i catch her, she should run." I said, giggling. 

"Why? You're so cute on this one!"

"I'm naked!"

"It's not like I didn't see you naked..." She whispered so no one could hear her. 

"Touché..." I said. "But she's gonna pay for this anyway", I declared with an evil smile. 

This afternoon is going to be fun.
