I have my staff set up the rooftop for Aliza. I wanted to surprise her tonight. Everything, well almost everything in our relationship is about to change and I want to make sure I don't lose her. I perform in front of millions of people and have the nerve to be terrified right now. I can't stop pacing. The view is so beautiful and the air is so clear. I can't ruin this. Before I know it I make a mess.

Aliza POV

I walk onto the rooftop and see MJ on his knees. He has his head down with his arm on his knee. Something's in his hand that I can't see. I instantly get nervous and start to turn around...'oh shit-I mean shoot, Aliza. Relax.' I tell myself almost breaking into a sweat. I take a deep breathe in and out. I fan my face with my hand and turn around and walk toward him. I walk so slow it seemed like forever to reach him...

"MJ...Babe" I clear my throat once I realize I was whispering

I reach out and touch his shoulder "Babe"

He looks up, caught off guard.

"Hi...is this-" I look around pointing my finger to the fancy set up
"....what I think it is"

His eyes widen and he chuckles. Suddenly I see what he's holding...

MJ POV
I get up after realizing what she meant. Before I spoke, I try to stop shaking from embarrassment and put the broken glass I'd just cracked back on the table.

"Look at you, looking like a hot-wait-what's funny? My shirt? I spilled the wine so it's a mess"

She has her face covered wiggle laughing...

"Oh my god-Babe I thought you were gonna propose" she quietly laughs

I laugh "ohhh-no, I bent down because I was mad I messed the table up. And I was trying to calm down."

We laugh for a few more minutes and then go to sit on the Bench that has the perfect view of the skyline, completing forgetting about to candle light table I had set up.

Aliza is quiet with her head resting on my shoulders while we hold hands. The air is blowing peacefully and it's so surprisingly quiet up here.

"MJ" Liza says not moving "why were you nervous?"

"Well, I received my Itinerary for the BAD tour last week..."

"Great. I can't believe you SOLD OUT again. Actually I can. " she says playing with my fingers.
"The fans are so excited. I keep reading their reactions in the paper. I'm gonna come you know-to the concerts. Strictly as a fan. It was always my dream"

"Dreams come true. I want you to come with me. On tour. I can have my team make arrangements with your management"

"MJ, of course I'll be there. And arrangements for what? We never needed it before. My tour is ending and I'll be starting my commercial press afterwards. I get a break so we are good."
