It was already four songs into the concert and Michael already had sweat dripping down his face, making his tan skin glisten under the stage lights.

Tatiana nervously bites her lip backstage watching the performance on a monitor next to several crew members, trying to calm the beating of her racing heart. She was always like this before a performance or concert. Her mind and body were at a nervous breakdown internally, and she would nervously tug at her curls to force some calm within her.

"He's doing great--" Frank says as everyone nods in agreement.

Tatiana blushes slightly studying Michael closely, in awe. Of course everyone was in awe over him. He was after all Michael Jackson. But the look of awe in Tati's face was different then everyone else--it was a look of love. She wasn't just witnessing Michael Jackson the performer but Michael her lover.

And the thought of that mad her heart pound even harder to the point she had to put her hand over her chest lightly, almost as if she was afraid others would hear it. She quietly sits down in a chair away from everyone watching a different monitor. She was to be reintroduced to the Bad Tour in the sixth song, TWYYMF.

Their song.

She smiles slightly looking down her mind drifting slightly, on how she felt about Michael. And it was the most wonderful feeling to say she was in love with him; and he was in love with her. Of course she always had felt like this, but this time it was different. There was a certain sense of security with it now unlike the past.

"Tati let's get you to the stage." a stage manager says nodding to her as she gets up, pulling at her skirt slightly. She follows behind him her ankle boots clicking against the floor which was in sync with her heartbeat. Time and sound seemed to have slowed up for her mentally as she stares at Michael racing across the stage to change into his blue button up within a second, as the stage goes pitch black.

The crowd erupts in screams as Michael walks alone in the dark, stage center.

This was it. It was time....

"You knock me off of my feet now baby.....woooooaaaah!"

He breaks out into a dance throwing his iconic fedora offstage as Tatiana is gently pushed out onstage. Her nerves suddenly become calmer as she walks out, her hips swaying. The crowd suddenly bursts into screams seeing Tatiana as she breaks into her smile which is enough to light up the whole arena.

"HOLY SHIT! TATIANA!"

"SHE'S BACK!"

"MATI FOREVER!"

"I LOVE YOU TATIANA!"

Michael looks up meeting Tatiana's eyes as a playful smirk forms on his face. His eyes lit up differently whenever he was around her, and it was evident to everyone as soon as she came up onstage he became different. It was as if his mind would completely black out and all he could see was her.

Michael sings as he follows her around like how they rehearsed. He walks besides her his hand grazing her hip making goosebumps form on Tatiana's skin.

Michael was well aware of the effect he had on Tatiana--and he couldn't help but enjoy every second of it. He couldn't believe he could effect someone in that way--especially someone like Tati. He walks away to join the other male dancers in there number as Tatiana and the other female dancers stand around to watch. The whole routine was pretty close to the music video; only tweaked more.

As he dances on the floor, his eyes meet Tatiana's again. He bites his lip smiling and he continues to sing as he chases Tatiana playfully. He suddenly grabs her by the arm pulling her close to him, making the crowd grow wilder as he leans in laying a soft kiss on her forehead.

She couldn't help but blush and look around at all of the ecstatic, smiling faces around her before meeting Michael's eyes. They both bite on their lip giggling softly, knowing this is where they belonged.....together.

The concert ended almost faster then it began....at least that's what it felt like for Tati. She steps in the fan almost collapsing in the seat. Her jet black curls stuck to her face, her voice slightly hoarse from singing.

Michael had taken a separate car to rush out of the area, while Tatiana was to take a car with Greg, Sheryl and Ricky.

She groans rubbing her side furrowing her eyebrows slightly. After the concert, she was instantly bombarded with paparazzi flashing, and them bumping into her roughly. So roughly in fact, no guards could reach her in time. The only person around was Ricky who practically carried her to the car, pushing people out the way.

"Tatiana, how did Michael ask you back on tour?"

"Are you two back together?"

"What do you think on the rivalry with Prince and MJ?"

"How do you feel?"

"Where's Paul?!"

Their questions ring out in her ears as she closes her eyes pressing her head against the cool window.

"Damn, that was fun..." Greg breathes out hopping in the seat across from her wiping his forehead with a towel. Sheryl climbs in next to him before giggling out;

"I know--it was insane." she laughs out. "You did so great Tatiana..."

Tatiana smiles opening her eyes. "I missed this so much." she breathes out.

"It's nice having someone who isn't flat..." Greg smirks. "And I don't mean in singing either."

Sheryl and Tatiana instantly hit Greg with our towels making us all burst into laughter.

"We should all go out and celebrate." Ricky grins as everyone nods in agreement.

"I don't know if I can.." Tatiana speaks up taking a sip of water. "I'm kinda worn out..."

"Nah--she just wants to get back to Michael. Especially after that "good luck kiss".  he chuckles making her blush.

"Instead of a four leaf clover, he's gonna have her on all fours..." Ricky says as him and Greg smack each other howling in laughter.

Tati sinks in her seat embarrassed, as her face turns into a deeper shade of red. Greg looks over at her chuckling, his schoolboy grin coming across his face.

"Awwww don't worry Tat, Snowflake over here is gonna be in a similar situation tonight..." Greg smirks, making Sheryl cover her face.

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww....." Tatiana and Ricky bust out laughing.

The car ride back to the hotel went by quickly, as they are dropped off in the back of the hotel. After saying quick goodbyes, Tatiana takes the stairs to the suite floor.

She walks down the hallway, and stops leaning against the wall to slip off her heels. She quietly dashes down the hall to Michael's room. She knocks on the door softly, and after a few seconds it opens revealing Michael.

His hair was down with soft curls going down his face. He was wearing a white button up, with his black slacks and a pair of white socks. He reaches his hand out gently pulling Tatiana in by her waist; closing the door with his other hand.

"He--" before she could finish, Michael gently presses his lips against hers.

He loved the way her lips felt against his. They were so soft and sweet, and her lips alone made him addicted to her.

"Hi..." he smiles softly pulling away, his face close to hers as she looks down giggling.

"You were incredible..." she smiles as he chuckles softly.

"Because you were there...." he smiles. "You did great."

"Thank you..." she smiles kissing his cheek before slipping off her jacket.

Get changed.." Michael says, his eyes having an excited sparkle to them.  Tatiana furrows her eyebrows slightly grabbing a a white crop tee and loose fitting white cotton pants.

"Go on.." he nods, licking his bottom lip slowly making her heart slightly race. She stares at him curiously before walking in the bathroom closing the door to get changed. 

He stares at the door biting his bottom lip softly, before slipping on his loafers. He paces the room his hand stuffed in his pocket; the other rubbing his bottom lip as he grows anxious.

Partly from his adrenaline being sky high after the concert--the other because of his surprise for Tatiana. It was their last night in Hawaii before getting on a plane tomorrow afternoon, and he could barely wait.

About 10 minutes later Tatiana steps out, bare-faced. She needed her face to breathe after sweating through her makeup onstage, and she was too lazy to touch it up.

Besides, Michael loved seeing her without makeup.

A smile spreads across Michael's face as he grabs her hand, intertwining her fingers, before sneaking out the suite quietly.

"Where are we going?" she asks softly as Michael breaks into an excited laugh.

"You'll see..." he squeezes her hand gently as they sneak past the guards on their floor, rushing down the stairs. They take the doors through the kitchen; before walking outside being greeted by the sweet Hawaiian air.

They silently walk on the beach hand in hand, as the wind blows gently. The city lights in the distance twinkle next to the palm trees, making a certain excitement fill the air.

As they walk silently in the sand, Tatiana looks around curiously. "Where are we--" her voice grows into a whisper as she stops walking.

There on the beach were candles, brightly lit with a blanket on the beach. She stops and stares at Michael who blushes softly looking down.

"Y-you did this?" she asks softly as he nods.

"I tried anyway--if it's too much..." he shrugs.

"No, it's perfect." she breathes out.

After the concert, Tatiana genuinely didn't feel like going out or doing anything--except sleep. But she didn't mind pushing that aside for Michael...especially since recently his sleeping habits are consisted of staying up until the sun comes up. She couldn't help but smile, biting her lip. The fact he went through all of this effort to make her happy, knocked any chances of sleep out of her.

He sits down on the blanket, gently pulling her down with him. He stares in  her eyes for a moment so intensely, Tatiana looks down blushing. He chuckles softly laying back, his eyes still on her.

Michael always had a huge habit on staring intensely at people. Not because he was trying to be rude, or tried too--but because he loved studying people.

Especially Tatiana.

"What is it?" she asks shyly as Michael lips his lips slowly.

"Lay down with me..." he says softly gently pulling her arm, as she lays down in his arms. He wraps his arms around her, holding her tightly as there legs intertwine with one another. Her hand rests on his heart as they stare up at the stars silently, the only sounds filing the air are each others breathing and the soft waves of the ocean.

"I can't tell you how much I missed this..." he says softly playing with her hair.

"Missed what?" she whispers softly. 

Michael breathes out softly for a moment before speaking; "This. Just moments like this...having someone. Having you."

"But you had others--it couldn't have been that bad." she smiles slightly, even though her insides twisted slightly thinking about Michael and Rachel. 

Michael keeps his eyes on the sky giving a small smile. "But it was never emotional with anyone - not even close." he sighs out softly. "I am emotionally attached to you - maybe too attached. I just love you unconditionally with all of my heart and I don't think you see that. You take it a different way. You may think I'm so in awe of you or maybe still have a sense of guilt from what I've done in the past--" he lowers eyes as he rubs her back gently. "But even through all of what happened--I found myself caring so much about your feelings and everything. In a sense that's why I always tried to hurt you. I wanted you out of my head, out of my heart..." he swallows hard.

"And God..." he chuckles weakly looking over at Tatiana. "I tried so hard to find you in her, or someone. I tried like everything....deep down I knew you were telling the truth, but I kept seeing everyone else who let me down in you without seeing you. It wasn't until I lost you, I actually knew. I faced my own truth....I was scared to get close to you. It's hard for me to get close. I'm afraid to get too close to people because something ends up happening in the end and you know what? You end up heartbroken. I do have problems trusting and you should've known that from the beginning and if I'm not always there - if I seem stubborn or mentally gone and their is no emotion whatsoever it's because I'm thinking and I shouldn't think so much I know but I've suffered in the past and I know what it feels like when someone just pulls everything from under you and take all that you had away. I suffer alright? And I don't mean to leave you down. I am here, Tatiana...I'm here for you and I always have been. I trust you. I trust you more than anyone--" he smiles slightly.

"I love you. I love you so much I couldn't walk away even if I tried...and when I did--" he gives a soft chuckle. "I came running back. I can't leave because I'm too attached, too intact with you."

Tatiana stays silent as she listens to Michael, her heart swelling up at every single word. By now their faces were close together, as Michael stares in her eyes.

"There's this myth--" he whispers softly. "That at one time Greek gods split people's souls. They had to spend their life finding their missing half...."

"And what do you think about that?" she whispers softly, feeling his heart beat steadily against the palm of her hand.

"I found the other part of me." he whispers before leaning in capturing her lips with his.

I hope no one is mad at me but I decided to do this chapter in a third point of view; because I wanted to test my writing skills at it. I promise the other chapter will still be in the characters point of view though! This is kinda a filler/cute moment <3

Enjoy them while it lasts.
