The 下一个 day
Michael woke up and looked at Aislinn. He smiled at her and moved her hair out of her face. She opened her eyes and say Michael right 下一个 to her, smiling. "Morning, beautiful." He told her and she giggled slightly. "Morning, Michael." She looked closely at him and she didn't see a 衬衫 on him. She blushed. "Did we..." Michael chuckled and shook his head. "No we didn't. I was getting hot and took it off in the middle of the night." She sighed in relief. "For a 分钟 I thought we had done that. It scared me." Michael hugged her and she hugged back. "There's no need to be scared, baby. Like I 说 when 你 first stayed here, I wouldn't try anything." She looked up at him and kissed his cheek. "You are such a gentleman, Michael, 你 know that?" He chuckled and nodded. "I know, Aislinn." Pretty soon, Aislinn heard Michael's stomach growl. She giggled and so did he. "Hungry, Michael?" "Yeah, just a bit." "What do 你 want to eat for breakfast?" "Surprise me." She giggled and got up and went into the kitchen, Michael following her. Aislinn looked around and couldn't find anything. It's like everything grew legs and moved. "I can't find any- Ah!" Michael picked her up and sat her on the counter in front of him. Michael giggled at her. Her slipper fell off her foot. "Oh jeez, my slipper fell." "Don't worry, Cinderella. I'll put it back on you." Michael grabbed her slipper and slid it back on her foot. Aislinn giggled at what he was doing. Him being the prince and she being Cinderella, it's a role play all over again. Michael stood up and looked at Aislinn and kissed her. Michael helped her off the counter and helped her find something to cook. She looked in the 白饭, 大米 cooker and they still had some fresh 白饭, 大米 from last night's dinner. Michael grabbed the eggs from the fridge and placed them on the counter. "What are we gonna cook with this?" Aislinn got a good idea and cooking the eggs and told Michael to grab the rice. "Rice and eggs?" "Nope. Fried 白饭, 大米 breakfast." Michael looked excited and got the 白饭, 大米 ready to fry in the pan with the eggs.
After breakfast
Aislinn grabbed the dishes and started washing them. Michael came up behind her and hugged her, placing his head on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. "Where's your necklace, Aislinn?" She turned to him. "It's on the nightstand, Michael. Could 你 go get it, please? Since 你 爱情 me." Michael giggled and went to get the necklace. Soon, he came back with it and placed it around her neck and kissed her neck yet again, like last night. She giggled when she felt his tongue on her neck. He loved teasing her. Once she was done with the dishes, she told him she had to go change for work. "I thought 你 worked part time at the theater?" He asked. "I do, it's just I work the afternoon shifts this week. 下一个 week is a full week at the orphanage. Then so on. Got it now?" He nodded and let her change into her waitress outfit. He was biting his lip when she went back into the room. 'Should I ask her tonight? Is it too soon? Ack! I wish my brain would make up its mind!' He thought, putting his hands into fists and putting them against both sides of his head. 'It's so hard to think! She is the right one for me. She admitted she couldn't imagine life without me. Ugh, why is it so hard to ask her a 问题 with 4 words??'
In the bedroom
Aislinn was getting her 围裙 on and putting the finishing touches on her make-up. She sighed, smiling. 'I'm happy to be dating Michael. We've dated for almost 2 years and no problems so far. I know there will be some later, but I don't think it's anything to worry about.' She thought, putting her knee high white socks on and her school girl looking shoes. She started straightening her hair. She loved her hair when it was straight. She didn't mind it when it curled every so often. Once she was done straightening her hair, she grabbed her 3 red ribbons. She put two of them in her hair on both sides of her head, then walked out of the room and walked over to Michael. "Michael? Could 你 help me with my ribbon?" Michael looked at her and nearly fell to his knees. She was so beautiful in her waitress outfit. 'Oh my god. She's beautiful.' He walked over to her and grabbed the ribbon and tied it around her left wrist and into a pretty bow. Michael still held her hand and kissed it. Aislinn giggled and he released her hand. "Need a ride to work?" He asked her and she nodded. "Yes, I do need a ride to work. My car is in the shop, remember?" Michael chuckled and went back to the bedroom to put on a shirt. Once Michael got a 衬衫 on, he led Aislinn to the car and got her in. He got in after that and started the car, the 音乐 being as loud as they could hear and sing along to. Then they drove off.
At the 晚餐 theater
KC was waiting for Aislinn to 显示 up. KC, as Aislinn knew, was very impatient. She never learned the meaning of patience. KC was Aislinn's boss...sort of. They've known each other since 3 years 以前 when she started working at the 晚餐 theater. "Aislinn...where are you??" She asked herself. Soon, she saw a car drive up and park. Aislinn got out of the passenger side and Michael got out of the driver side. KC was in shock. 'She's dating Michael Jackson?! Wow...' she thought. She's always envied Aislinn. Two weeks ago, Aislinn told her that Rick was in jail for almost killing Michael. KC had replied that Rick deserved to be put in jail for what he did. KC never liked Michael, but she never hated him. He was her cousin, and she had to be happy for Aislinn. She walked up to Aislinn. "Hey Aislinn. 嘿 cousin." Aislinn looked at Michael. "She's your cousin?" Michael chuckled. "Yeah she is. From Joseph's side." Aislinn nodded, now getting it and turned to KC. "Well, we should head on in, right, KC?" "Yeah, let's go, Aislinn. 费雷德 is gonna have our heads if we're not in there in 5 分钟 and ready." Aislinn nodded and turned to Michael. "Once work is done, I'll call you." She told him. "I'll be waiting for that call, love." They hugged and kissed before they went inside. She waved at Michael as he drove off in his car. KC turned to Aislinn and saw a necklace. "Where did 你 get that?" "Michael got it for me, KC. For my birthday yesterday." KC was shocked. She could tell Aislinn was happy with him. She's never seen her this happy before. She was thinking of breaking apart the relationship, but if Aislinn was happy, and so was Michael, then she couldn't dare try it. Aislinn was like her sister and Michael was her cousin and if she hurt one, then she hurt the other. "Let's get to working before 费雷德 catches us, Aislinn." "Alright!" Then they headed into the back and got their notepads and headed out into the theater.
After work
They clocked out and KC called her mom. "Mom? Work's done." She said. "Alright, hun. I'll be 由 to get 你 soon." "Ok. Bye mom." "Bye hunny." Then they hung up. Aislinn walked outside and saw KC sitting down on the steps and sat 下一个 to her. "You alright, KC? 你 seem down about something?" KC looked at Aislinn and looked back down. "Can 你 keep a secret?" "Yeah of course." "I haven't felt 爱情 in so long. Mom is always drinking 或者 smoking...Dad is always out on business...You really helped me out for a while, Aislinn. You're like a sister to me." "Awe...thanks." Aislinn hugged her. KC was about 17 and always lonely. No one cared about her like Aislinn did. Michael was always either recording 或者 on tour 或者 just too busy to talk. "I know what it's like, KC. My parents did the same thing. They would drop me off at my aunt's house and leave me there while they go off doing who knows what. When I first stayed at Michael's house, I was welcomed like a complete stranger, only to find things out about him and completely fall in love. When I was dating Rick during college, he never gave me the amount of 爱情 Michael did. Michael doubled that 爱情 for me." KC looked at Aislinn with tears filling her eyes. KC hugged her back and cried on her shoulder. Aislinn looked at her. "How about this, KC. Tomorrow, after work, come on over to the house and we'll go play in Neverland Ranch. How's that sound?" KC's face beamed with joy. "Really? Just me and you?" "Yeah, Michael has to record songs tomorrow for the Dangerous album of his. So tomorrow, it's just 你 and me and a full 日 of fun in Neverland Ranch." KC hugged Aislinn tight. "Thank 你 thank 你 thank you!!!" "No problem, KC. Haha." Soon enough, Michael and KC's mom arrived. KC ran up to her mom and asked her if she could go to Neverland Ranch tomorrow after work. Her mom protested, but Aislinn told her that she'd be fine. "I'll make sure she'll be alright, ma'am. I promise." Then her mom gave in and allowed her to go and she hugged Aislinn one last time before getting in the car and driving off. Aislinn waved at them and got in Michael's car. "Hey baby." He 说 and she giggled. They kissed. "Hey Michael." Then they drove off back to the house.
At the house
Michael stopped at the house and turned to Aislinn. "Hey Aislinn, I forgot to get something at the store. Why don't 你 go inside and I'll be right back, ok?" "Oh? 你 aren't gonna take me with you? Haha. Alright then. See 你 once 你 get back." They kissed for about 2 分钟 and she got out of the car and went inside, waving at Michael. She went to the bedroom and started to take a shower. It was hot in the 晚餐 theater and she could easily get sick. She stripped out of her waitress outfit and got in the shower, humming 随意 tunes.
At the jewelry store
Michael walked inside the store, making sure nobody knows its him, but the jeweler. He looked up and saw Michael. "Why good evening, Michael. Back already?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm looking for a ring." "Who's the lucky lady, Michael?" Michael told him he couldn't tell, in fear she might hear about it from Cory. "Oh, it's Aislinn, huh? I got ya. What kind of ring are 你 looking for?" "An engagement ring. One with 2 hearts." "Ah, I see. Chris Tucker came in looking for one, too. We didn't have one when he came, but we did just get a shipment of engagement rings a couple hours after he left." He left to grab the little boxes and came back with them and laid them out for Michael to see. "Here they are. Does she have a 最喜爱的 color?" "She likes red and white. Is there a ring like that?" "Oh yes, Michael. Right here." He pulled out the one with the red 心 and a white 心 下一个 to it. "That's perfect. How much do 你 want for it?" "For you? I'd say $100 should be fine." Michael nodded and pulled out his wallet and pulled out $100 and handed it to him. "Here 你 go." "And here 你 go, Michael." He handed Michael the ring and it's box and Michael slid it in his pocket and slid his wallet in his back pocket. "Thank 你 so much, Bill." "No problem Michael. She'll 爱情 it. I'm sure of it." Michael smiled and started heading back to his car and drove off.
Back at the house
Michael got out of the car and noticed the lights were off. He quietly got to the bedroom and found Aislinn asleep on the bed. He smiled at her and changed out of his clothes and into his pajamas. Once he did so, he hid the ring in his nightstand and slid into 床, 床上 with her. He held her close and kissed her forehead. She cuddled up to him, placing her head on his chest. He smiled and bit his lip. He sighed. 'I hope I can do this...and I hope she says yes. I know for a fact that she's the one I've been looking for.' He thought and finally went to sleep, humming 'I'll Be There' once again.
