*In California*

Michael and Mia got out of the airplane. His bodyguards were in the front and Frank was following them. A swarm of fans came towards them. A couple of the girls gave Mia dirty looks while others smiled at the sight of the couple. Michael was to make a statement later that day at a conference about his last album "Bad"

They went to a hotel and settled in. "Im going to start "Dangerous" tommorow. But after the conference, we'll spend the rest of the day with each other."

"That sounds good to me. Michael....i didnt know that the mob could get that crazy."

"Im used to it. They only act out of love." he said

"Yeah, the majority of your fans. A couple of girls gave me dirty looks because they knew that I was with you,"

"Dont worry about that baby. Ill take care of that. Theres a interview coming up with Diane Sawyer. If you want we can address our relationship then."

"O.k I would like that. Now you get ready for that conference." Mia said slyly.

Michael took the hint and walked closer to her. "You want to get ready with me dont you?" he said seductivly.

Mia traced her finger down his torso. "Maybe....thats only if you want me to."

"Yea. I want you too." he said. He picked her up and headed to the bathroom.

"Im gonna run the bath water, and you get the towels ready." he said.

Mia briskly walked to the closet and pulled out to small and big towels. Its not like Mia hadnt seen Michaels body before, its just that she felt like they were getting closer and closer.....

Mia walked back into the bathroom and looked at michael. He was already in the bathtub humming. He looked so relaxed and reserved. Michael looked up and saw mia standing there watching. "Come on baby. I wont bite."he giggled. Mia shyly took off her clothes and got in the tub with him.

His warm hands washed her back as they sat in silence. Michael noticed that she had scars on her back.

"What happened? He quietly asked.

"My uncle...when i was younger he used to watch me. I looked up to him all the time. We used to talk and I used to tell him everything. Then one day, he came over....i was watching tv in my room. He came in and sat next to me. His arms slowly creeped around my waist. I asked him to stop but he wouldn't. Unable to fight his embrace i was trapped. He climbed on top of me and tried to rape me. I fought him off, and that angered him, so he took out his knife and sliced me." she said with tears in her eyes.

Michael was shocked and angry. Who could hurt a child like that? So young and fragile. He held her lovingly, thinking about all of the things that his dad did to him.

"Mia I love you and I would never ever hurt you. Im so glad you're mines because I think I can treat you better than any man could."

"Michael you're the only thing I have. My father is dead and my mom is somewhere in Florida. I have to find her Michael. Im worried. One day she just up and left me with my aunt. We were devastated. But later in the year she sent a letter saying that she was in Miami, pursuing her dream as an artist." Mia said

"Mia, when im half way through with this album, we're going to go and find you're mother." Michael said

"Really Michael? That would mean so much to me. I love you." Mia said. Michael smiled and kissed her. He couldnt wait to spend the rest of his life with her.
