♡Chapter 42♡

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

I'm freaking out right now. The dress Janet bought me a few weeks ago doesn't fit right. It's too late to get another one and our vow renewal is in two days. I've been locked in the bathroom for almost an hour now. I feel so huge. Michael is outside trying to convince me otherwise. "Babygirl... you're not huge! We can just get another dress..", Michael pleaded from the other side of the door. I sigh. "No!! I'm a fat piece of shit!!", I yelled back. Michael grows silent. I stare at myself in the mirror I hate this. I hear sniffles from the other side. I walk to the door to get a better listen. It's Michael. "Michael? Babe are you crying? ", He sniffles again. "No-no... My nose is running ", He lied still snuffling. I sigh. "Papa don't cry...", I said trying to soothe him. He doesn't reply. I hear a footsteps approaching. "Dad? Are you crying? ", Jasmine asked from the other side of the door. "No princess...I'm okay go get your brother's ready you grandfather should be any minute... ", "Okay... but let me tell you something first... ", She tried to whisper. Michael laughs. "Alright princess... Thank-you ", Jasmine giggles. I'm guessing she walked away because Michael knocks on the bathroom door desperately. "Come babygirl just come out...", I sigh. Hearing Michael cry was painful. He's just trying to help. I finally open the door after a few more minutes of silence. Michael quickly stands up and looks at me worriedly. His eyes were a little red from crying. "Michael... ", I sighed. He just pulls me into his arm's. "I just want you happy... stop beating yourself up...it hurt when you do that ", He said squeezing me a little. "I know.... I just love that dress and I'm too big to-", Michael breaks the hug and holds on to my shoulders. "I've been over this with you...You are gorgeous, my beautiful piece of Hershey.... do I need to tell the world? ", I look down away from his penetrating stare. "Look at me..please ", He pleaded. I sigh and look at him. "When I say I love you...it's for all time... when I say I need you...it's for all time....Your lips are as sweet as honey.. your eyes are like milk duds... If holding you every night while reminding you how beautiful you are is what it takes for you to see what I see...then so be it...", He said penetrating me with those beautiful big brown eyes. God He is so perfect at moments. I cheese and step closer to him. "My eyes are like milk duds? ", I teased. He chuckles, his face flushing red. "Yes.... milk duds and lips like honey...", I giggles again. "Do you want some honey?", He nods. "Yes please... ", I laugh harder before pressing my lips against his....

*Michael's Point Of View*

After Marilyn's episode about her weight I decided to call in a favor. Since it's too late to get the dress altered, I decided to call a special someone. Being that I am a good friend of Eddie Murphy and has met his ex-wife Nicole Murphy, I called him to see if He can make some thing's happen for me. In turn, I will record his next studio album at my record label. He readily agreed. So the kid's, Bill, and I are going to meet up with him. Janet kidnapped Marilyn and Yuli for a day of relaxation. Which consisted of, a class of yoga, aroma therapy, and a few light work-outs. That way, she will be occupied while I work out this favor with Eddie. "Alright... we're here....", Bill said pulling into this plaza. I spot Eddie waving with Nicole and her husband. "Alright you guys please behave....Dylan did you take your medicine? ", I asked turning to them. Dylan nods. "Yup! I actually had the green shaggy gummy!", He exclaimed. Bill laughs. I chuckle and glance at Brandon and Jasmine. "You two better act like two Best friends okay?", Jasmine glares at Brandon. Not too long ago I had to end an argument between them. "If he doesn't open his mouth...I'm fine...", Jasmine huffed. "Girl...nobody is paying you any attention... drama queen.. ", Brandon retorted. Bill laughs harder. "You two argue like like a married couple!", I give Bill a look. "Shut up will ya?", Bill puts his hands up in defeat. "Let's just go...", I said climbing out of the car. Once everyone was out of the car, Eddie met us at this mini boutique. "Mike....my man! What's up brotha'?!, Eddie exclaimed grabbing my hand, roughly pulling me into a 'bro hug'. I chuckle. "Nothing much man...after this we have to catch up.", He nods then turns to the kid's. "Dang! Y'all all grown up!!", He exclaimed taking each one by the had into his infamous 'bro hug'. Nicole walks up to me. I have only met her once, she is gorgeous. "Well hello there stranger", She giggled hugging me. I break the hug and smile. "Hey Nicole... long time no see..", Her husband, Michael walks up to me while she greets the kid's. "Hi I'm Michael Dunlap... ", I chuckle. "And I'm Michael Jackson... ", This time He chuckles. "Ahh my long lost brother ha-ha.. nice meeting you and I'm sorry about your mother.... ", I nod. "Thanks man...",Eddie walks over to us clapping loudly. "Well alright... I have brought you here to meeting someone who helped me with my last wife wedding dress...", He said smiling at Nicole. Nicole and Michael laugh. "I just need a type of wedding style dress, it's a vow renewal remember? ", I said chuckling. He nods and starts walking. "I know... that's why Nicole is head of this operation I'm just here for entertainment... ", He joked. "Well let's get this started then!", Nicole exclaimed walking into the boutique. I nod following her with Bill and the kid's close behind. My mouth dropped once we entered. The dresses we're breath taking. "God how cute would I look in all of this?!", Jasmine squealed going from dress to dress. Brandon laughs sarcastically. "On a scale of what zero to zero? ha-ha ", I glare at him. He stops laughing and looks away. "Hey Mike! Man this.... could be the one!", Eddie called from the front of the store. I jog over to him. "This is gorgeous... ", Nicole whispered in awe. Michael and I nod in agreement. "Beautiful... ", Jasmine whispered from behind me. "I'm not gonna lie...Dad I'm jealous ", Brandon joked. Dylan walks up to the dress eying it. "I don't know what all the fuss is about... it's just a dress.", Eddie chuckles and walks over to Dylan, placing his hand on Dylan's shoulder. "No little man... it's the dress...", Everyone nods admiring the dress. This is definitely the one..
