The Ghost Of Michael Jackson

24. The calm before the battle.

Paiges pov.

~a few days later~
After the game last night everyone slept well I woke up cuddling Michael he was still fast asleep looking peaceful but the weird thing is he looks younger somehow? I smirk getting up and going to our shared bathroom to have a quick wash, when im done and dressed I look over at Michael still sleeping peacefully on the bed his arm above his head and his curls spread all over the place. I chuckle and gently sit back on the bed facing him as I remove the curls out of his face I run my hand back over his cheek softly to lay it on his chest, kissing the top of his head softly as I get back up quietly going over to the dresser.

Once I'm dressed I take the fedora from the little mannequin head putting it on poseing in it grinning to myself then I feel a pair of arms suddenly sneak around my waist and a deep raspy voice sais "you should were my hats more often they suite you" I look back in the mirror at him putting it on his head 'na they suite you more' I reply as he kisses my shoulder "I beg to differ my love" he grins 'we will see go get a wash and meet me in the kitchen' I reply tipping the hat over his eyes, "fine" he chuckles and puts the hat back on me walking into our bathroom before saying "still looks better on you baby girl" ugh he always has to have the last word.. Pff cheeky git.

I head down stairs to be greeted by the lads 'morning lads any news?' "nothing much but few people have asked if Michael is real though" I look up nervous 'and what did you tell them Joe?' "that he's an impersonator that looks quite a bit like him that's all" I sigh in relief 'good we keep to that story and let the others know that's what they say to okay lads' "got it" the 4 reply.

*narator*
After breakfast they all spread out to do there bit helping with the grounds of the place and as the day carried on things were looking great. untill James got a call "yeah its me, yeah there all in there spread out right now but theyll all be in soon I gotta go". With that he hangs up knowing it won't be long till they arrive.

As they all come back in laughing and talking Kate notices Michaels not with us "Paige where is Michael?" "Yeah he's normally always with you" Tom replys looking at her. Paige smiles "And I thought you were all fans of him c'mon where's the 3 places on this ranch he would be?" She looks at all 4 saying.

"Well for one with you" Tom says. Paige then carys on replying "well 4 places one with me, two our room, three the swings and four sitting in his tree." She smiles "so ill go get him let Oliver, Harry, and joey know were all in the front room" they nod going to tell them and Paige goes to get Michael.

Paiges pov.
Knowing he's not in our room I go out to find him first I check the tree seeing he's not up there the other place I look is the swing set and I soon spot him going over I wrap my arms round him "hello" giving him a kiss I get a hello back and ask him if he would join us all in the lounge "of corse but first-" I cut him off 'you want me to push you on the swing?' I get a grin back so I laugh and give him a few good pushes on the swing watching him laugh as he goes back and forth "higher!" Shaking my head amused I do as asked stepping back I keep going loving the sound of him giggling like a child until my arms get tired 'okay we should go in there waiting for us' I say as I watch him "okay" he says suddenly jumping from the swing in mid height to the ground I hasp reflexes jumping into action to make sure he's okay 'Michel be careful you could of hurt yourself'.

Chuckling he says he's fine never better  and lets go grabbing my hand almost draging me along like an energetic kid I have no idea where this came from but I have to admit. I absolutely love this side to Michael I get an idea saying before running off laughing 'betcha can't beat me back' with a grin he says "oh yeah well we'll see about that" he runs after me as I try running faster but as everyone knows I'm a terrible runner.

he catches up with me as he unexpectedly grabbing my waist tackling me as I squeal in his arms panting as badly as he we look at eachother and laugh out of breath "may...maybe we..we should..walk the rest yeah?" I nod in agreement as we aren't that far from the house now and its now late afternoon it will be dark soon we walk hand in hand looking like a young loved up couple as we do then he starts walking all silly with me I can't help but laugh "will you stop walking like that its not like were on set of thriller or something" I say playfully and he gives me that mischievous grin oh no what did I just start.

"fine if you want me to ill do it" he says laughing and starts doing it I can't help but watch in amusement as he dose.

I laugh as he starts singing it putting his hands upon my shoulders then when he finishes the little scene I cuddle into his side with his arm around my shoulders giggling "impressive you will have to teach me how to dance like that one day" he looks back at me happy and sais "one day I will I promise" he gives me a kiss before we head inside.
