Come Together

Chapter 42: The Proposal.

Roberta's POV
It's been two in a half months since I seen Michael and I still remember the blast I had. It's so weird to say that I remember anything after spending three months saying I don't remember this or I don't remember that. Today Is Labor Day and it's Saturday meaning that it's cleaning day. Me and my staff are cleaning my house from top to bottom. Right now I'm in my photo hall of life as I call it my staff are in different parts of my house. I heard my door bell ringing and was totally surprised because anybody who wants to come over has to be let in through my security team. Security has to be enforced a lot especially since that Lisa incident. So because I'm the only person who can hear the door I answer it and felt my heart do mini flips. Michael is at the door...

Michael's POV
The first part of tour is over thank god. I have a break and I'm glad. Over the past two months I couldn't get her out of my head. I mean I haven't had this much fun with her since the 80's. When she left I could eat, sleep, think, nothing.... I really want her back I do and I've been thinking a lot about how to officially do that and I now know that... Last month when I was feeling like I was going to loose my mind thinking about her I decided to go to a place that can finally put feeling in a sacred place... K Jewelers.
Me: Bill do you think I'm making the right decision?
Bill: kid you couldn't function right when she left. If your mind and heart is with her than I think this is the right idea.
Me: how would I ask her and how will I know if she'll say yes.
Bill: have confidence. Step out of that little boy shyness that you always have and become a man. Just believe and know that she feels the same ways about you too. Go ahead and make me, your parents, your siblings, and yourself proud.
Me: thanks Bill
Bill: don't memtion it.
We were walking around the store until I came across a gold 18 carat diamond ring. I couldn't stop looking at it and I'm pretty sure I was probably druling over it as well. I snapped out of it when the lady came over and asked if I needed help. But when she looked up she couldn't stop looking nor druling. She calm down once bill gave her the don't make a sound hand gesture. She all of a sudden snapped back into her professionalism.
Lady: hello what may I help you with
Me: I want to get a special person a ring.
Lady: oh I see. Well this one is our favorite custom made . It's beautiful to. What else would you like to put on the ring or is that it?
Me: oh really. Well it's beautiful and I want that necklace that comes with it. I would like to have the words "Forever and Always 1994" on the inside of the band. On the necklace I would like to have the same carat diamonds but smaller. Oh and can you size the ring to a 7. Please.
Lady: no problem just give us a moment.
Me: sure thank you so much.
The lady too the ring and necklace to the back so that it can get done the way I want it to. It took her about forty five minutes when she was done I paid for it and we left lucky without all the commotion of the fans. Now it's time to get the women I love the most besides my mother and sisters.
About an hour later I am standing in the doorway of her house and I can smell cleaning products from the outside meaning that they are doing some serious cleaning in there. That's right today is Saturday duhh. Well let me ring the doorbell.
Me: ding dong
Roberta: I got it.
Me:oh boy here it goes...
Roberta: gasp!!
Me: good morning.
Roberta: please come in
She stood out the way so I can come in.
Roberta: good morning
Me: morning
Roberta: what you doing here. I thought you would at home rehearsing or something.
Me: well I took a break to do some things that was very important
Roberta: Awww coming to see me was on the to do list.
Me: well yeah..
Roberta:  what do you mean well... What's wrong ?
Me: OK I can't take it anymore... For the past several months all I can think about is you. Making it no better when we saw each other two months ago. I can't eat, sleep, think nothing... Because all I can think about is you. I want to stop telling myself that I don't want you like that when the truth Is I still love you from the bottom of my heart. I still think about you like I'm thinking about my music. You make me feel like no other. You understand me when I feel like others don't. I finally realize from the day we broke up that all I want is you. Don't get me wrong but when I was with Lisa Marie I was content and happy but I still felt like I was missing something... You... I need you. So Roberta Dakotashea Strawder.  Can we try this again,  just one more time will take my hand in marriage again ?

Roberta's POV
Oh hell...my heart just came through my mouth. He has been bottling his feelings about me for year now. I love him just as much I really do. So what I'm going to do is give this one more try... Just one more..
Me: *starts crying *yes yes yes
Mike: oh boy!!! I love you *puts the ring on my finger *
I jumped on him and he caught me and kissed me and kissed me... When we broke apart we heard clapping. My staff was clapping for us. Hahaha I love them too. When he put me down I felt something inside my ring so I took it off and read it. It said "forever and always 1994" Awww that's sweet. As I was putting my ring back on my finger I get a cold object around my neck I looked down to see a necklace that was just as beautiful as the ring sitting on my left finger. Oh my goodness it's beautiful is all I think about as I touched my necklace .
Me: so what day will this actually happened?
Mike: I'll let you plan that. And besides I do have to go back on tour by October.
Me: well how about the end of September. What day in October do you have to back.
Mike: OK that's good and I go back in the begining of next year so we can have plenty of time to plan our honeymoon.
Me: yeah it should... Now we have to tell people without being so out and open.
Mike: good luck with that hahaha.
So after finishing cleaning Michael took me out and decided that we would break the news tomorrow and get started on the planning this week. I cannot believe it's really happening!!!!!!
We are now in my bedroom after eating like we were starving for years and now in my bed watching the fresh prince of Bel Air.
Me: thank you for a mind blowing day.
Mike: no need to thank me. I feel like a big heavy rock was lifted off my shoulder. Thank you for making me complete and this time there is no breaking away. Your mines to stay and you are here to stay as well.
Me: Awww baby how sweet. I love you therefore I won't be going anywhere. I do mean anywhere.
We was quiet for the first time today and it was a comfortable silence as we watch TV and slowly one by one we fell asleep. Gosh this day was amazing in all aspects.
