Michael's Angel

Chapter Six

Minutes passed and Marylin was sitting in bed waiting for Michael to arrive home. She was all dressed up with black leggings, white brallette and black boot heels. It was something decent but then again, it was the first thing she could find. While Marylin was reading a book on her bed, she heard Michael's voice from downstairs.
"Stephanie! We're home!" He yelled.
Without hesitation she shot out of bed and ran out the room like a dog greeting their owner after not seeing them all day.
"Welcome Mike!" She greeted him, ignoring Lisa.
"Hey steph, haven't seen you all day! Anyways, I would like to present to you-" he was cut off by Marylin finishing his sentence.
"Lisa. Marie. Presley." She said between gaps.
"Hi, nice to meet you" Lisa said sticking her hand out to shake it.
Marylin stood there not wanting to shake it at all. After some time she knew about the handshakes and how they work, but she refused to touch her.

Marylin gave the faintest smile and looked over at Mike.
"May I speak with you?..alone?" She said as she looked at Lisa.
She took the hint and left to the dinning room so that they could talk.
"What's wrong Stephanie? Don't you like her?" He asked as soon as she left.
"Micheal, you know I've never lied to you, right?" Marylin said as she looked at him with sorrow eyes.
"Yea I know and I appreciate that."
"Well, I don't trust her Mike. She's evil. She will backstab you. She's not going to lo-"
"Stephanie. It's fine, ok? I love her! I'm sure your just illusionist things."
He said as he placed his hand in her arm. Marylin looked up at him and gave him a small nod with a faint smile. She was worried how hurt he will be if he finds out that Lisa isn't the one for him. No matter how desperate she was in protecting him, she knew that she couldn't control his whole life and she must let things flow.
She sighed and left the room to go to hers.
"Your not going to eat with us steph?" He asked from downstairs.
"I'm not hungry... maybe next time" and with that she left sadden on the whole thing.

The whole night Michael and Lisa were downstairs talking and having fun. They had the night of their lives until she had to leave. Michael sent his driver to go drop her off at her house. He sighed in happiness and went upstairs walking towards his room until he stopped in his tracks in front of Marylin's room. It was closed but he wanted to check on her since he noticed how sad she was.
He knocked on the door a couple of times but no answer. He decided to slowly open the door and see if she was alright.
Sure enough, she was in bed laying down already changed in her pjs. She had a book on her hand and a couple other stuff. Marylin was sleeping peacefully with a small frown on her face.
Michael noticed how she wasn't covered up, so he took a blanket and tucked her in trying his best not to awake her. Marylin groaned as she was being moved around but eventually fell back asleep as she was to tired to even notice who was there. Michael smiled but it fainted away as he started to think about what she said earlier.

How does she know about the things Lisa would do? Is she right? Was it that bad?

He eventually left her room closing the door from behind and went back to his. He changed to his pjs and laid in bed as he kept on processing everything at once. Soon, he fell asleep.

The next day

Marylin woke up as she noticed that she was kk covered up in a blanket. She realized that Mike was in her room last night but cared less. She got ready for the day and went downstairs to grab a banana as breakfast. Michael was already in the dining room waiting for her.
"There you are. Good morning sleepy head" he said as he set down the newspaper in his hands.
"Good morning apple head" she backed up. She was glad he was home and hasn't left. Although it was just for a day, she missed him.
"I'm sure you have plans for tomorrow right?" Micheal asked as he disrupted her thought.
"Tomorrow? Why? What is going on?" She asked confused. She doesn't remember anything special on that day.
"Well you know, Father's Day! I'm sure your going to be busy huh." He said as he sipped his orange juice.
"I-uhm, y-yes?" She said as she felt a gag. She hated lying. But the only time she would lie, was on Father's Day. She would only go out for a walk or stay in her room trucking Michael that she was spending time with her 'dad'.

Marylin knew perfectly well she didn't have a dad nor a mom. And she was fine with it. Her only motherly like was Mary. Her father, well the all mighty was her father. Nothing more than that. She was raised by angels around her and taught by the fearless ones, she didn't need not guardian, but sometimes it did sadden her as she for the past 3 years she saw how youngsters would hangout with their dads.

"That's fantastic Stephanie! I'm glad you'll be spending time with him" he said.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Not right now I won't" she said. They stood there in silent for a couple of seconds before a bodyguard came in to let Michael know that there was a brother of his outside wanting to talk to him.
Micheal told him to let him in. The bodyguard nodded and left the room. Marylin sat down as she felt pain in her back again. It was going on for ages ever since she first met Michael but she never thought about anything bad.
"You ok?" He asked with a concern in his face.
"I'm perfectly well Michael. No worries" she gave him a smile which made Michael feel more confident on her response.

Soon a man walked in and towards Michael. Michael stood up and gave his brother a big hug and a lay on the back. It was Tito. Marylin knew who he was perfectly well. Tito hasn't notice Marylin yet until he turned his head to her direction. He had a confused look on his face but smiled it away.
"I didn't know you had a child Mike?" He said playfully.
Micheal laughed it off.
"She's not my child, she's a friend of mine. Stephanie. Tito. Tito. Stephanie." He said as he introduced both of them.
Marylin stood up and bowed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you" she said. She was so used to bowing people as a way of greeting others. Marylin oils sometimes forget she's on earth and do the most ridiculous stuff.
Tito was shocked for a bit but bowed down as well.
"Pleasure is all mine" he followed.
"How long have you guys know each other?" He asked.
"3 years" Michael responded.
"3 years-" Tito said in complete shock. "You ever told us?! Damnn"
"You must of had done something to my brother for him to hide you from us." He said playfully as he nudged Micheal.
"Im sure he has his reasons just like you had yours" she said.
"You must be very sassy huh?" He said as he crossed his arms with a smile.
"Oh you have no idea" she followed.
They both laughed as they high fives each other.
"I'm going to like this girl!" He said. "You should take her to our house tomorrow Mike! I'm sure the Jackson fam would love to meet her" he said as he leaned over.
"Only if that's okay with Stephanie" Michael looked over at Marylin waiting for her response.
"I would love to" she replied.
"What about your dad?" Michael asked.
"I'm sure he'll be fine, he does have lots of children" she said.

All three laughed later on the day as they talked about each other. Marylin knew it was almost time..
