The past can make a future.

Chapter 6

She was a little surprised at his boldness but none the less she accepted the kiss. She missed him so much that when he kissed her, she couldn't stop herself from pulling him closer to her. She began crying, silently, though he wouldn't notice due to the fact that both of them were still wet. Every bit of her being ignited with the love that she had for this beautiful man, and she began running her fingers through his hair just like she knew he loved.

Michael was surprised that she didnt push him away. He knew that she cared for him and everything but that didnt mean she would be okay with him kissing her. However, the way that she immediately reacted to him, and pulled him closer made him want to know what was going on in her head. He moaned slightly when she began playing with his hair. He moved from holding himself up by his hands, to holding himself up by his forearms.

Though, they probably could have done that all day, someone clearing their throat nearby made them jump apart, and that meant that Michael fell back into the pool because of how close they still were to the pools edge.

When he resurfaced, he was blubbering from the water that got up his nose, and she was staring at him-trying not to laugh. Slowly they both turned their heads to who ever it was that made the noise and saw that it was Mrs Katherine Jackson. They both immediately blushed uncontrollably, shying away from her smiling gaze.

Katherine hadnt seen her son so happy with someone in such a long time, that she was beaming that it finally happened. She had noticed them early when she came by, running around after each other. Then she saw Michael tackle her, and didnt see where they landed after that, so she came looking for them, only to find them in such a compromising position. When her son fell back into the pool, she couldnt help but laugh-if you had seen someone do that you would probably react the same way-then when he resurfaced she quieted down a little.

"Mother! what a nice surprise! I didnt know you were coming over today?"

"Im know you didnt. I wanted to surprise you after you got back from the tour. But im the one thats surprised, i didnt know that you had a girlfriend."

"I dont. This is Minnie, I met her at a concert and well we kinda just started hanging out."

"And making out next to your pool?"

"Well..................that kinda just happened. It was my doing, but uh...........i dont know any thing else to answer that with." Michael replied sheepishly.

Mrs. Jackson laughed and eventually the other two joined.

"Come on you two, we better get you dried off and inside. They said a storm was coming."

"In that case i should probably head out."

"Oh no you dont, you are going to stay here. I want to talk to the woman who has caught my sons attention. He said your name was Minnie, am i correct?"

"You are."

"thats a unique name. I like it. Now, lets get you inside. Im sure Michael has some clothes that you can borrow."

"Yes, mam." She replied shyly.

"Just call me Kathy. I dont like that name, it makes me feel old." She laughed, and so did Minnie.

Michael watched after them as they walked to his house. Eventually he followed after them. Once he was inside, he began unbuttoning his shirt. He walked into his room, with his shirt hanging open. He noticed his mother was in the closet, trying to find something that would work for the female that was waiting in the bathroom down the hall.

"Hello, Mother."

"Hello Michael."

He began to take off his shirt when she turned to him, holding some clothing on her arm.

"Michael i am going to be straight with you. I like this girl, I really do. But i feel like there is something that she is hiding from you. I just want you to be careful, okay? i am not against her being in your life, I just think you should be a little cautious. Alright?"

"Of course."

He kissed his mothers cheek as she walked out.

Katherine made her way to the bathroom that Minnie was waiting in. She knocked on the door, and when she got an okay, she entered. Minnie was sitting on the tub, deep in thought.

"Whats on your mind, Minnie?"

"Hmm. oh, i just, I dont know. Im thinking about what just happened between me and Michael."

"What about it?"

"I dont want to break his heart, and im afraid thats exactly whats going to happen. i wont be able to help it."

"What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Jackson, can i trust you to believe me and not tell Michael?"

"Yes, it depends on what its about, but yes i believe you can."

"Alright. I am married to your son. Not this one, but the older one. The one thats in the future." She watched Kathy for any sign of well, anything.

"Im not sure i understand. Care to explain?"

"Well, Im from the future. Im from 2009. Some scientists made a time traveling device and they allowed me to use it to come here and try to save Michaels life. You see, in the future this drug addiction he has, finally gets to him and he....he d-dies. I lose him, and I thought that maybe, if i came here and convinced him to stop using the drugs, i could save his life. I could have my husband back. His children would have their father back. they wouldnt know they lost him, but he would still be there. And his unborn child would be able to meet its daddy."

"You mean that you are pregnant?"

"I am, I found out a few days ago. I am very happy but, I want Michael to know that we were finally able to conceive. I love him so much and all i want is for him to be happy. So, when Michael kissed me, I realized that he may be falling in love with me. I am only able to be here for a month, and that started 2 weeks ago. I have 2 weeks then i leave him for the future. And i dont want to break his heart bye falling in love with him and then leaving him."

Mrs Jackson was quiet for a few minutes thinking everything over. She was unsure whether or not to believe her, this was a pretty farfetched tale. But Minnie seemed so sincere and so in love with her son. It was hard not to put a little faith in her.

"Well, if what you are saying is true then, we dont have much time, do we?"

Minnie began crying, it wasnt loud but she was broken, you could definitely tell. She was happy that Mrs Jackson didnt throw her out and was willing to try and trust her. She was crying because she hoped that this would work out. Mrs jackson pulled her into a hug and held her until she calmed down.

"Thank you. You have know idea how much your trust means to me."

"Sweetie, everyone needs someone to have faith in them. Come on, lets get you dressed and ready for bed."

"Okay."
