Sex Ed [Michael Jackson]

17...She Still Loves Me

•Michael's POV•

On the car ride home, Alex is still silent. I can't help but look at her and wonder what's going through her mind as she stares at the road ahead.

"What's on your mind?" I ask and she closes her eyes and smiles slightly.

"Was he cute?" She whispers.

"Who?" I frown.

"Our son."

"Oh, yes. Of course he was cute." I respond.

"Who did he look more like?" She asks.

"I already told you, he looked so much like both of us but mostly, you." I say and she nods.

She looks down at her stomach, holding it, and closes her eyes as a tear slips from her left eye.

"I wish I could've held him, seen his face. I feel so empty now." She whispers.

"Baby, it's okay. He's in a better place now. I promise. He's safe."

"We won't get to raise him. I want to be able to hear his first cry, hear his first word, watch him walk his first steps, see him grow into a wonderful young man. But it'll never happen!" Alex cries.

"Alex, babe. Please, don't cry." I sigh, looking at her as we come up to a red light.

"I want our son back!" She sobs into her hands.

"Baby, please stop crying. We can go home, and you can get some rest." I sigh, rubbing her back.

-At my place...
As soon as we get home, we go upstairs and I show her to her room. She has her own room since she's not sure if she's comfortable with being with me right now.

"Here you go. Now, get some rest." I say as she lies in the bed and I walk towards the door to leave the room.

"Wait." She says in a small voice.

"What is it?" I ask from the door.

"Can you come hold me?" She asks sadly but shyly.

"Of course!" I nod and walk over to the bed.

I crawl in and wrap my arms around her protectively and kiss her forehead.

"I love you so much, Alex. I'm always going to be here for you. Always." I whisper lovingly in her ear.

"I love you too, Michael." I hear her whisper sleepily as she closes her eyes.

I smile deeply and pull her closer before closing my eyes too. She still loves me.

~The next morning

I wake up and look down to see Alex still asleep in my arms and I can't help but smile. She said she loves me! I smile wider and kiss her forehead. I see her lips form into a smile and she opens her eyes, immediately staring up at me.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." I say softly as I move some of her hair out of her beautiful face.

"It's okay." She giggles.

"Okay, beautiful." I smile.

"Hmmmmmmm, what time is it?" She asks, stretching in my arms.

"It's 8:30."

"Okay, it's time for cuddles." She giggles, snuggling up closer to me.

"Okay! No problem with that!" I smile wrapping my arms around her tighter.

    After a while of cuddling, we decide it's time to get up. Alex gets out of bed and walks over to the closet while she starts undressing.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll leave the room." I say, trying not to look at her half-naked body.

"Michael, it's okay. It's not like you've never seen me naked before. You can stay." She giggles.

"Okay.." I smile awkwardly.

    I can't help but look at her naked body as she removes the last of her clothing. She has bruises and scars all over her body now. All from Brandon! I can't believe he would ever want to do any of this to a girl like Alex! Well, who am I to talk? I slapped her across the face. Which, I most definitely regret more than anything in the world. A day hasn't gone by that I haven't felt guilty for it. But, I bet Brandon doesn't feel guilty for anything he's ever done to Alex. That's why she doesn't deserve him. She deserves better than that.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." She laughs, making me realize that I'm staring at her body.

"Oh, um, sorry. I got lost in my thoughts..." I blush.

"Mhm, I'm sure you did."

"I-uh, I better go get changed as well." I stutter.

"Okay." She nods, walking over to me.

She kisses me deeply on the lips, rubbing her breasts against me, just below my chest. She's trying to tease me!

"I'll meet you in the kitchen then?" She smiles, breaking the kiss and leaving me breathless.

"Mhm." I nod, looking up and down her beautiful body.

"Okay." She winks, tapping my lips with her finger then turning back to the closet.

I walk out of her room and down the hall, into mine.

"Okay, Michael. Keep control of yourself. You've just gotten her back, and you know she loves you. You can't screw this up again. Don't rush it. Make this work!" I whisper to myself as I get dressed.
