...If Michael Only Knew...(On Hold)

The show. (Oct. 6 1987)

"Ria? Wake up...you need to get dress. I already have out your clothes...nothing fancy because you'll be changing when we get to the stadium." Michael said, slightly shaking her awake. "Wha? Why do I have to change? Hell, I'm always in the back anyway!" Maria groaned. opening her eyes. "Not tonight you won't, now, get up please! All of us are ready except you." He giggled. Maria hopped up and Michael watched her walk into the bathroom and close the door. "Damn I can't believe it...all that is finally all mine. Jesus...thank you." He whispered to himself as Delano walked in. "Sooo...y'all a thing now, or what?" Delano whispered. Michael nodded and smiled, bashfully. "Yeah! I popped the question last night..." He whispered. Delano dapped him up and smiled. "My man! Damn...I'm so glad y'all finally together...you're really what she needs Mike." He said. Michael nodded and laid back on the bed as Delano  walked back out of the room.

Michael and Delano had this planned already!

Maria stepped out of the bathroom in only her bra and boy shorts and Michael covered his eyes. "Michael...you don't have to cover your eyes anymore, you know that right?" She giggled.Michael uncovered his eyes and chuckled. "Yeah...I kinda forgot that I can look at you know." He said. Michael admired Maria as she slipped on her clothes and watched in awe as she got tangled up and her tee shirt! She was the cutest thing Michael had ever laid his eyes on! "Michael...a little help would be great." She groaned, clearly annoyed. Michael stood up and helped her put her arms through her shirt, correctly. "Better baby?" He smiled. Maria nodded and and walked back into the bathroom to apply her lipgloss. "Come on Maria! We've gotta go!" Michael said, filled with excitement. He was excited for his first show since the bullshit went down. Maria shook her head and came out of the bathroom as Michael wished and he grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the room. "Everybody ready?" Michael asked as they made it outside. The crew looked around, each person doing a mental role call. "Yeah." They all said in unison. Michael nodded and they had prayer before loading up the tour bus.

>>> 8 hours later <<<

Michael has already practice, had sound check, and just to make sure he was completely safe, he had all the spotlights checked. He was dressed in a fitting blue , buckled and zipped shirt along with buckled pants. He was checking himself out in the mirror when a voice came up behind him and said. "Damn...you lookin' mighty fine tonight." The voice said. Michael raised a brow and turned around only to see Tatiana Thumbtzen standing behind him in a short black dress."Oh."  He turned back around and started back applying his eyeliner and skin tone blending cream. "Come on Daddy...don't ignore me..." She pouted. Michael snickered and rolled his eyes. "You aren't a product of my sperm so please, don't call me Daddy." He snapped back. His attitude turned her on. She walked closer to him and smacked his ass as he stood, bent over. He jumped and damn near took is eye out! (Fetty Mike)

"Come on now! Quit playin' girl, shit!" He fussed, slowly getting angry. "Awwwe my Mikey Bear getting mad? I sowy..." She grinned. "Woman...I am your boss. You call me Mr. Jackson or either Michael. Ight? I think the name calling is disrespectful to my girlfriend..." He smirked and turned around. "Girlfriend?! The fuck are you preaching nigga?" She said. On cue, Maria walked in with a matching outfit, similar to Michael's but instead of tight pants, she had on a tight skirt with buckles. She froze and looked at Michael, who was pissed with a line of mascara going from his eye to his temple and Tatiana with a shocked face. "Is there something going on here? Did she hit you?" Maria asked, cracking her knuckles. Michael grabbed her and help her by her waist, close to his body no...she was just leaving. Weren't you Ms.Thumbtzen? OH! And I won't be needing you for the show tonight okay?" Michael said calmly. "WHAT?! UGH!!!" Tatiana stomped out of the room and Maria turned her attention to Michael. "I forgot I was pregnant for a moment." Maria rolled her eyes. Michael groaned, annoyed. The show was in 20 minutes and his eye was fucked up! Maria sat him in a chair and cleaned the mascara from his eye and reapplied it for him. "Now. Is that better?" She smiled. He white teeth shinning through her black lipstick. Michael wanted to kiss her, but he also didn't want to ruin her lipstick. "You look beautiful Ria." He blushed. Maria blew a kiss at him and winked. "Thank you Michael...you look good tonight too." She smirked. "Michael Jackson, please report to the curtain. We've got 4 minutes until curtain rise!" Someone yelled from the other side of the door.

Michael and Maria walked hand and hand to the curtain. "Look, you sit near by but out of sight from the crowd, okay? I'll call you when I'm ready." He said. He blew her a kiss and she followed his command. A few later, the curtain was raised and Michael ran out to the screaming audience! They were so hype and happy! The curtain closed back and Maria listened and Michael spoke to the audience before he started his first song...

*3 Hours Later*

Michael's concert is almost ready to end and he still hasn't called out Maria yet! "I wonder if he forgot..." She pouted as she thought out loud. Delano sat beside her and sighed. "Now girl. You know damn well Mike ain't forgot bout you. That man would forget his own ass before he would forget YOU!" He fussed. Maria laughed and fanned him off.  Just then, Michael said: "Alright everyone...I want to bring a very special lady onto the stage...please welcome my heart and my bestfriend...MARIA HONESTY COOPER!" He said. Maria quickly walked to the curtain before it rose up. She looked at all the people and teared up as they screamed "Justice for Maria!" Over and over and some even held up signs! Michael saw she was emotional and nervous so he opened his arms and she quickly walked into them, hiding her face. "You ready love? I'm about to let the entire world know about us..." He whispered in her ear. Maria looked up and wiped her eyes. She nodded and Michael walked away from her and counted to three. The beat to "The way you make me feel" dropped and Maria gasped. She realized what was happening! She had replaced Tatiana Thumbtzen!!! Luckily, she had been to rehearsals so, she had Tatiana's part down...she even added some stuff! But she was careful not to work too hard, keeping in mind the fact that she was pregnant. Michael grabbed Maria and began to slow grind on her from behind a bit, causing the audience to get even louder! "YAAAAS MICHAEL YOU BETTER WERK! STROKE IT! YAAAAAS!!!" A gay man yelled from the front row. Tatiana watched from backstage in tears, causing Delano to get uncomfortable. He snuck away to wait for Hanan.

Towards the end of the song, Michael grabbed Maria and said: "Well, if you haven't caught the hint yet, here's what I'm trynna say!" He threw down the mike and passionately french  kissed Maria, taking her breathe away and causing the audience to throw roses on stage. Michael pulled away and wiped his lips. The both of them took a bow and the concert was over. "I love you! All of you!!! See you next time!" He waved to the audience and so did Maria. He walked back stage hand and hand with her and the other crew members followed, in shocked. "WHAT THE FUCK MICHAEL!? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US!?" Slash cheered. "HOT DAMN! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU TOO!" Lisa clapped. Hanan ran over and kissed Maria's cheek. "I'm sooo HAPPY FOR YOU!" She cheered. "Thank you, Thank you all so much!" She smiled, wiping her eyes. Tatiana stood away from the crowd, salty as the fuck. Delano looked at Hanan and kinda lost control of his eyes, beginning to stare. Her tight black pants, blue top that was kinda like Michael's, her knee length boots, and her wild hair stole his attention. She dropped her towel that she was dabbing her sweat with and bent over to pick it up. Delano tilted his head as he took in the view of her thick frame that was before him. "GahDamn..." He whispered. Hanan stood up and turned around. She felt his eyes on her but she didn't mind. "You okay Delano?" She asked in a seductive like voice. Delano came back to himself and wiped his mouth to make sure he wasn't drooling. "Y-Yeah...I just saw a bug...that's all." He said, clearly lying. Maria laughed and Michael made a motion with his hand to his mouth like he was sipping his tea to the situation.

"There's a bug...on my ass huh? Come get it off then." Hanan smirked, testing him. "Whelp. I fucking tried." Delano took a deep breath and walked away with his head bowed. Everyone laughed as they watched Delano walk away, cheeks redder than a basket of freshly picked cherries! "My poor brother. You should check on him babe" Maria said, looking up into Michael's eyes. "Okay Ria, I will...lord..." Michael giggled and kissed her nose. Maria looked at Hanan and Hanan smacked her him and walked away, clearly excited about what had happened. Everyone headed to their dressing rooms. It was just Tatiana and Maria left backstage. Tatiana looked at Maria and rolled her eyes.

"Who the fuck you looking at like that, bitch? MAKE ME call Hanan on yo ass! MAKE ME! I can't whoop ya ass but Hanan can!"
