My other half: Michael Jackson

Chapter 3

January 10th, 1994
*Myra's POV*

After the kids had something to eat and to drink, we grabbed some sweets and followed Michael to the theatre where the kids could watch a show.

They were all surprisingly brave and silent and were simply enjoying the Show.
Annie sat on my right, while Michael sat on my left.

We chatted for a while earlier, while the kids were eating their food, and now while watching the Show we would joke around like two little kids. It's surprising how well we get along even though we never met before... it feels like I've known him in years. Like I found a good old friend of mine again. Does that sound weird? Because it feels anything but weird.

Sometimes our eyes would meet and we give each other a quick smile, or we would simply throw popcorns against each other.

Sadly, the show soon came to an end and it was time for us to leave.
While the kids were getting ready to step inside the bus, Michael has called me walking me further away.

"I wanted to thank you for your visit today, I really enjoyed it..." he said smiling widely at me, I couldn't help but smile back.
"I enjoyed it too, thank you for having us!" I politely replied,
"I was wondering if... maybe you would like to give me your phone number, so that we can catch up sometime?" he then nervously asked, that's when my heart started racing and my face felt like it was on fire.
"Sure..." I shyly replied. He then gave me a piece of paper and a pen, I immediately grabbed it and wrote down my phone number.
"Alright ... thank you. I'll hear you soon, then." he said smiling from ear to ear.
"Okay.. thank you for everything, have a nice day." I politely replied, we gave each other a nod and I joined the kids inside the bus, making our way back to Los Angeles.

Was that a dream? Or was it actually reality? For the entire ride back to the kindergarten, I couldn't help but sit on my seat, watch outside the window and remember all the sweet and fun moments that we have shared together today.
I kinda feel sad that we had to leave so early... I wish we could've stayed a little while longer. You strangely feel safe at the Neverland Ranch. It feels like a second home.

After 2 long hours we finally arrived back to the kindergarten. We all stepped out and made our way inside.
Soon the parents would come to pick up their children, so it's better if they take a nap now.
Me and Annie got them ready and tucked them under the bedsheets of the tiny beds that we had, and as soon as we did they all fell in a peaceful slumber.

We left the room and started cleaning around, since they have left a mess with the toys.

"So... he asked you for your number, huh?" Annie asked in a playful tone, while we were picking up the toys from the floor. I giggled nervously.
"Uhh, yes... yes he did." I answered.
"He likes you. Who would've thought that? Mr. Michael Jackson likes our Myra Diaz." she teased, I turned around and threw a toy against her, making us both laugh.
"Stop. He doesn't. We just had a good time and..." I started but stopped, since I didn't know how to finish my phrase. She smirked and raised one of her brows.
"And? He likes you and wants to get to know you. Hey, I'm not complaining, I'm not jealous or anything like that, it's the opposite. I'm happy for you, girl!" she then said flashing me a big smile, I smiled back and sucked my teeth.
"I guess... thank you." I shyly replied.

After a couple of hours the kids woke up and their parents came to pick them up.
Even their parents love me... because they see how good I am to their children and how much they love me.

When everyone left, it was time for me and Annie to go home, so we said our goodbyes and left.

While I walked back home I looked on my watch and it was already 4:30 p.m.
Tala is not going to be home before 5 and I still have to take a shower and prepare dinner.
Who knows if Michael is going to call me?

As soon as I arrived home, I walked straight to my bedroom and picked out some fresh clothes and a fresh pyjama, before walking to the bathroom and taking a shower.
Once that was done, I walked to the kitchen and started preparing dinner. That's when Tala arrived.

"Hey dalaga ('girl' in filipino)" she exclaimed smiling widely, I smiled back.
"Hey." I replied,
"How was work today?" she then asked while taking off her jacket and her shoes,
"It was amazing. I took the kids on a trip to the Neverland Ranch." I confessed, and the look on her face was priceless... I could tell that she was shocked.
"You what?! Did you meet him?" she asked while her eyes kept growing wider,
"Him who?" I teased with a smirk on my face, she then slapped my arm.
"You know who, bobo ! ('dumbass' in filipino)" she said making me laugh,
"Yes, I met him." I confessed while I kept cooking dinner.
"And?! Spill the tea, girl." she said impatiently, longing to know more.

She ended up sitting on the kitchen counters while I explained her how the day went, I told her everything , since she's my best friend.

*Michael's POV*

After Myra and the kids left, I walked upstairs to my bedroom and took a long shower, before walking over to my former bodyguard/head of the securities.

"Bill?" I asked while walkout closer to him,
"Yes, Sir?" he replied immediately while turning around to face me,
"Do you know what kindergarten these kids from today came from?" I asked curiously, longing to know where Myra works. I couldn't stop thinking about her.
"Uhh, yes Sir, it's the '1.2.3 pre school' in Los Angeles." he replied, I nodded.
"Thank you, Bill." I then said before leaving and walking over to my office.

I sat down on my desk and started doing some research on my computer. Once I found it, I spotted some pictures of Myra playing with the kids.
That Kindergarten has a lot of positive reviews- or should I say that it's ONLY positive reviews. There is literally not one negative comment about that kindergarten.

I smiled like an idiot, while reading through the comments from the parents.

That girl is truly an angel who was sent on down on earth... that's when I understood, that there is no way back. She has my full attention now.
It's like when you try something you like and you long to have more.

She's such a lovely, kind, caring and pure soul. She has everything a woman should have.
And the way we got along so well today... it's something I haven't experienced in forever. I felt safe... I felt alive.

Should I call her?
I then looked on my watch and it was only 5 p.m, she probably just arrived home after a long day of work. Maybe I should wait? I don't want to rush things, but I kinda feel like I miss her already.

What is happening to me?
I then got snapped back to reality by my phone ringing, I immediately picked up.

"Jackson." I answered,
"Hey Mike, it's me Janet." a female voice said over the phone,
"Hey Dunk..." I replied while turning off my computer,
"I was thinking to come over and spend some time with you... what do you think?" she asked,
"Sure, if you want. I'll wait for you to have dinner." I replied while standing up and looking outside the window, my hand tucked in my pocket.
"Okay, see you soon." she said and hung up. I sighed while admiring the trees moving gently because of the wind.

I wish Myra could come over too... maybe I should take a trip to that kindergarten and surprise them. I could buy some toys for the kids.
