I Just Can't Stop Loving You ~ MJ Fantasy

Chapter 27 ~ Changes

(Michael's POV)

I didn't expect her to get jealous. No. Not at all. In fact, I was jealous. But getting that look from her when I was standing next to Miss Lopez, felt. . good. Exactly, it felt good. It was a thing I've waited to see on her face for a long time.

I'm driven out of my thoughts when I hear someone knock on the door, lightly.

"Come in." I say softly. And there is, Tito. What's he doing here?

"Dinner's ready, Mike." He smiles.

"I'll be down in a minute." I tell him.

(Rebbie's POV)

"I don't eat all that, c'mon." Tito says annoyingly.

"Tito. ." I say in a warning tone.

"Okay, okay, fine!" He surrenders.

Just then, Michael joins us at the dinner table. He sits down without greeting anyone.

"Michael?" I call out.

"Don't you think you broke a rule?" I ask him.

"What? Oh, sorry!" He says in embarrassment and then greets everyone. "I'm. . I just. . forgot. Sorry." He says.

"Its okay." I smile at him. Our family has discipline rules. The list won't end. There are a lots of rules, that we have to follow. Its compulsory.

Like always, we begin food while chatting to each other about the day and other things. But there's something missing today and its Michael's advice. He gives advice on every single thing. But today, he didn't.

I distract myself from the chat and look at him and WHAT?! WHAT IS HE DOING?!

"Michael!" I call out when he suddenly chokes up on what he was eating.

"Y-yeah. . What happened? Is everything alright?" He asks out of breath, having a shocked look on his face.

"Are you drinking juice or are you drinking green chilli sauce?!" I scream in shock, looking at the half - emptied chilli sauce bottle in his hands.

"Wait, what?" He looks at me confused. Then, his eyes fall on the thing he has been drinking, 'til now.

"Oh no!" He screams running in the kitchen to get some water.

"Ooh we got some spice, here." La Toya states making everyone laugh. I give her a mean glare. "Sorry." She says in defense.

I decide to go and follow Michael to the kitchen. He's coughing so hard, right now. I could hardly look at him. His eyes are all red. I think, that's what chilli does to you.

"Jesus! Are you alright?" I ask him in horror.

"Well, am I?" He says totally freaking out and finishing up another bottle of water.

"Sweet, sweet. . . I need something sweet!" He says in a hurry. Poor boy. Just that moment, I think about the cookies I made, just now. Oh lord, no. Don't tell me, he wants to eat that! The look on his face is enough to know what's gonna happen, next.

"Michael, no!" I scream chasing him, too late, he's already having a mouthful of cookies. Fantastic.

"What the hell, Michael?!" I widen my eyes at him.

"What? I can't eat some cookies?" He speaks while eating.

"Whatever, Michael." I roll my eyes. "What's the matter with you, Michael?" I ask with a sigh.

"What?" He asks in a confused manner.

"I mean, look at you. You've been acting so different from past few weeks. When you're studying, you're looking outside your window for. .God knows what! When you're asked to bring something, you bring something else, instead. Like yesterday, I asked you to bring me my comb and you brought Janet's hairband, instead? What's the matter with you?" I ask him.

"Uhmm. . I. . Nothing's wrong, Rebbie. R-r- really n-nothing is wrong." He says looking away.

"Look at me, Michael." I ask, making him look at me. "You can tell me." I assure him.

He lets out a sigh, "I guess, I'm in love."

(Annie's POV)

"Girl, you there?" I'm driven out of my thoughts when I hear Katy growl.

"Oh. . Hmm. . Yeah, well, I am. Go on." I tell her.

"Yeah so, I told Chris to wear the suit that I gifted him on his birthday. But he. . He is just so stubborn! He says he'll go shopping with Michael-"

"Wait, wait. Did. . Did you say Michael? What about him?"

"You weren't listening, were ya?"

"What? No! I mean. . Of course, I was listening!"

"No, you weren't."

"Yes, I was."

"No, you weren't!"

"Yes! I was!"

"Annie.."

"Ah, fine. I'm sorry, okay?"

"What happened Annie? Is everything okay?"

"No, Katy. Nothing's okay."

"What happened, sweetie? You can always tell me."

"Its Michael."

"Michael? What did he do?"

"He stole something. ."

"What?! He. . He stole something? What, when, how?! What did he steal Annie?!"

"My heart"

And the tables have turned! Michael and Annie have finally realised what they've been feeling! What now? Stay tuned!
