In the light of love

Chapter 1: A reunion

Michael Jackson sat in his limousine and stared nervously out of the the window.
It had been five months since he had last seen
Lisa Marie  Presley.
The anticipation and nervousness he felt were almost palpable. He had missed her,
more than he wanted to admit to himself.
Their encounters were always intense and left an indelible impression on his heart.

When the limousine stopped in front of the large estate, Michael took a deep breath.
The chauffeur opened the door and Michael go out,
his sunglasses pulled low over his face to hide his uncertainty. Lisa Marie was already waiting for him,
a beaming smile on her lips.
She looked enchanting in a light summer dress that blew in the warm wind.

"Michael!" she called, and her voice sounded like music to his ears. She came up to him and hugged him tightly. The scent of her perfume caught his nose and he immediately felt better.

"Lisa Marie", he said softly and hesitantly returned the hug. His heart beat faster when he broke away from her again and looked into her sparkling eyes.

"It's so good to see you again", she said,
and Michael could hear the sincere tone in her voice.

"Yes, it's really nice", he replied,
his voice barely more than a whisper.
He felt happy and insecure at the same time.
The last few months had made him think a lot about himself, and the feelings he had for Lisa Marie had grown stronger.

They went into the house together and sat down in the cozy living room. Michael could feel the tension between them as they sat opposite each other and talked. Lisa Marie talked about the projects the had been working on and Michael listened attentively, delighted at the opportunity to be near her.

"And what have you been up to?" she finally asked, her eyes fixed curiously on him.

"A bit of everything," he replied shyly.
"Music, dancing... you know". He felt his cheeks grow hot and hoped she didn't notice.

"I've heard you new single. It's great, Michael,"
she said, and he could hear the pride in her voice.

"Thank you," he said, unsure how to deal with the praise. "It means a lot to me that you like it".

Lisa Marie leaned forward and put a hand on his.
"Michael, you don't have to be so shy.
I'm glad you're here."

Her gaze was so intense that Michael held his breath for a moment. He could see the spark in her eyes and felt his own feelings grow stronger.
"It's just... I...." he stuttered, unable to find
the right words.

"It's all right," she said softly.
"Let's just enjoy the time we have."

She smiled and he felt encouraged.
Michael decided to be braver, even if he
found it difficult.
He took her hand in his and felt her
pulse beat faster.
A slight smile spread across his lips.

"I really missed you, Lisa Marie," he finally confessed.

"Me too, Michael," She replied and squeezed
his hand.

The two sat in silent agreement for a while,
enjoying each other's closeness and letting time stand still. Michael felt that this was the beginning of something special, something that went beyond friendship.

At the rest of the afternoon passed, the atmosphere between them became more relaxed and intimate.
They laughed, reminisced about past experiences and shared dreams for the future.
Michael knew that he would treasure this moment forever, a first step towards an uncertain but exciting future with Lisa Marie.
