It Is Meant to Be {MJ Fanfiction}

A New Song

^^ That's what they are wearing.

Michael's POV

I wake up cheerful. Lisa really knows how to make love. I slept good last night. I go into the bathroom and wash my face.

My heart starts to flutter as I remember how Sierra cared for me. I had to make her believe I was crying over Lisa. She would've thought I was being ridiculous if I told her the truth.

I close my eyes and remember her arms around me. I whisper,

"I just can't stop loving you.... "

My eyes widen. I say louder, "I just can't stop loving you! That's it! "

I run out of my bathroom and out the room. I run down to Sierra's room. I open the door and yell,

"Sierra! I came," Daniel raises his head, "up with the perfect song...."

He squints his eyes and looks at me. Sierra sits up. She's in her bra. I cover my eyes and say,

"Sorry. Um...Sierra, I need to talk to you. It's important. "

She yawns and says, "I'll be right there. "

I close the door. My heart is shattering. She's with Daniel! Wait Michael...you're with Lisa. She can date who she wants. But why Daniel? I mean, he's good looking and all, but he's not me.

The door opens. Sierra has on a big jersey and black shorts. She wipes her eyes and says,

"What's up, Mikey. "

I smile and grab her hand. I lead her to the studio. My fedora is sitting in my black leather chair. I grab it and put it on my head.

I say, "I have the perfect song in my head. I have the beat and the lyrics. Just listen to what I have so far. "

She yawns again and says, "I'm all ears. "

I begin to bob my head and snap my fingers as I hear the music in my head.

"Each Time The Wind Blows
I Hear Your Voice So
I Call Your Name . . .
Whispers At Morning
Our Love Is Dawning
Heaven's Glad You Came . . . "

"You Know How I Feel
This Thing Can't Go Wrong
I'm So Proud To Say
I Love You
Your Love's Got Me High
I Long To Get By
This Time Is Forever
Love Is The Answer..."

Then Sierra joined out of nowhere, adding her own lyrics.

"I Hear Your Voice Now
You Are My Choice Now
The Love You Bring
Heaven's In My Heart
At Your Call
I Hear Harps,
And Angels Sing. . . "

"You Know How I Feel
This Thing Can't Go Wrong
I Can't Live My Life
Without You. "

I smile and say, "That's perfect. "

I grab the pencil that's on the ground and some paper laying around. I begin to write down what we sang. Sierra looks around and says,

"Mikey, your studio is messy. "

I smile and say, "It's a creative mess. "

She laughs and says, "I remember my creative mess. I miss it. "

I look at her and say, "Well, I'm hoping you'll sing it with me. Remember our duet we're suppose to discuss. "

She smiles and says, "I would love to do a duet with you. "

I smile and say, "I need some kind of message at the beginning. Something to start off the song. Like a love letter, almost. "

She sits in my chair and spends. She stops, looks at me, and asks,

"What do you have in mind? "

I smile and say, "Give me a second... "

The perfect words come to mind. I look at her and say,

"I Just Want To Lay Next To You
For Awhile
You Look So Beautiful Tonight
Your Eyes Are So Lovely
Your Mouth Is So Sweet
A Lot Of People
Misunderstand Me
That's Because They Don't
Know Me At All
I Just Want To Touch You
And Hold You
I Need You
God I Need You
I Love You So Much.."

She seems to be in awe. I realize all of those words came from my heart. Basically that's what I've been wanting to say to Sierra.

She says, "That's... Beautiful. Then the music will start and you'll start. "

I nod and say, "Yeah...that's um..a good idea. "

She smiles and says, "What's wrong, Mikey? "

I force a smile and say, "Nothing. Nothing at all. "

She nods and says, "Let's get to work. Um, who should you call? "

"Quincy Jones. "

She says, "Is it OK if I write some more lyrics down? "

I nod and say, "Yeah...yeah. I'll be right back. "

I leave the studio and go into the hall bathroom. I close the door and slump down to the floor. Don't cry Michael. She's with Daniel. I'm with Lisa. We both moved on.

Calm down, Michael. Just do this duet and move on to other songs. I can do it.

I get up and open the door. Daniel walks out of Sierra's room. His shirt is in his hand. I feel my bicep. I need to pump some iron. Daniel sees me and smiles. He says,

"Hey, Michael. "

He puts his shirt on. He has a muscular body. Is that what Sierra likes?

"Hey. "

He says, "Do you know where Sierra went? I want to say goodbye. "

Yes! He's leaving. "She's right in there. "

He nods and says, "Thanks. "

He goes inside the studio. I walk down the hall to get the phone in the living room. I call Quincy and tell him to come over quick.

After the call, I walk back to the studio. When I open the door, I see Daniel french kissing Sierra. I look away in disgust. I hear,

"Sorry, Michael. "

I raise my hand and say, "It's fine Daniel. "

He then says, "Call me later, Sierra. "

I look at her as she smiles and says, "Ok, babe. "

Daniel smiles and caresses her cheek. Then he says goodbye to me and leaves.

Finally.... I can breath. I sit down in the other leather chair. She says,

"So, I added the chorus. "

I ignore what she said and I say, "Daniel seems like a nice guy. "

She smiles and says, "Yeah he is. So, check this out. "

She hands me the paper. I take it and read it. I just can't stop loving you, I just can't stop loving you, And if I stop, then tell me just what will I do...

What will I do?

"This is perfect. "

Sierra's POV

I've been resisting the urge to kiss him all morning. I almost lost it when he recited his love letter for the song.

I need to control myself. Daniel is great, but...he's not Michael.

Michael leans back in his seat and asks,

"Do you think Lisa would want me to pack on some muscle? "

I answer quicker than I wanted to,

"No! No. Don't change at all. Your body is perfect the way it is. "

He smiles and says, "You don't think I should get as big as Daniel? "

I shake my head and say, "Trust me. Don't change. "

He nods and says, "OK. "

Then the door opens and in comes Quincy Jones. He smiles and says,

"Let's create a love song! "
