Girlfriend

Chapter 13

Michael was in the studio for a long time today. He wanted to finish that album and get those songs out and into the world. I was bored and I wanted to see him so I packed some fruits up ( Michael is a vegetarian) and drove to the studio.

Michael's POV

" I'm feeling that African influence there. I really like that chant. But you know what if while they are doing the ' mama say mama sa mama cu sa' I come in and free style some ya know...hoo hoos and hee hees."

" Hoo hoos and hee hee's?" Quincy said laughing.

" Come on Q you know what I'm talking bout." I say laughing. Then I notice someone came in the studio. It was Jane. I smiled at her. She gave me a look asking for permission to enter the room and I nodded.

" Hi! " She said smiling at me.

" Hi." Quincy said.

" Q, this is Jane. I don't know if you two actually met but yea. " I said .

She shook his hand, there was a silence.

" Look, Michael I know you're busy I just came to bring you some lunch because I know you might be a little hungry , even though you swear you're fine." She said smiling as she handed me the bag.

" Well I appreciate that. Thank you." I said looking at the bowls of fruit in the bag.

" There's two so you and Quincy have something." She said.

" Oh, well thank you very much." Quincy said leaning over grabbing the fruit from the bag.

" I'll see you later." She said winking at me as she left the studio.

" She's a keeper Mike." Quincy said chewing the fruit.

" She is ." I say with a light sigh as I got back to work.

Jane's POV

I have been so bored lately. I don't have a job so I'm like this little house wife. It gets pretty boring.

Eventually Michael came home and my heart got so excited as I leapt down the staircase.

" Thank you for bringing that today." He said with soft voice.

" You didn't eat it did you." I said with a smirk .

He was silent.

" Michael..." I said wrapping my arms around him as his cheeks turned pink." You need some food in your system. A little food won't kill ya." I said dragging my index finger along his jawline.

" What did you do today?"

" I Uhm...I sketched."

" You sketched?"

" Yeah just some doodles."

" Of what?" He said curiously." Of Neverland?" He asked.

I didn't respond and I loosened from his grip.

" You saw my sketches?" I asked surprised.

" Well I mean they were in the open on your desk." He said giggling.

" Oh they are embarrassing. " I said chuckling anxiously." They are just little fantasies."

" Well. I think fantasies can come true." He said coming closer to me. I was silent.

" Michael , I -I think I'm going to go to bed now." I said nervously. Talking about that with him got me nervous. It got me thinking about the future. My possible future with him.

I lied there in my bed unable to sleep. Michael seemed so uncomfortable about sleeping with me. I didn't want to make him that way. But all I wanted was someone next to me. Not to do things, but just a warm presence. I got up and slowly opened my door walking down the dark hallway to the staircase and there Michael appeared.

" AHHH!" I jumped falling onto the ground.

Michael jumped too, but not as much. He just laughed hysterically.

I smacked him playfully. " Ouch...ouch."he said still laughing.

" God, Michael I nearly jumped through the roof." I said squeezing my shirt.

He helped me up and caressed my shoulder. " Oh I'm sorry sweetie." He said sill giggling.

" Michael why were you even coming up here?"

His laughing face went straight to serious. " Oh..right Uhm." He scratched the back of his head. I think we were both going to ask each other the same question.

" I was gonna ask you if you wanted to uh...sleep with me?" He said biting his lip with anxiety.

" Yes , Michael. I'd enjoy that very much." I said with a smile. We walked to my room with our arms around each other and we walked to the bed. I looked at his worried eyes as we split to the opposite sides of the bed and I slid in.

" You gonna come?" I asked peeling the blankets.

He hesitatingly slid in and slowly gained his comfort. He turned towards me and I snuggled up close and he wrapped his arm around me with my head on his chest. I closed my eyes lying there listening to the silence. Then Michael spoke.

" Jane.... What would you do if I asked you to marry me?"

My heart flew up. I almost was going to cry. This was crazy. He was nervous about sleeping in the same bed as me and now he's talking about marriage?

" I'm sorry." He said turning on his side.

" I...I'd say yes." Those words. They just came out of me. I didn't control it. It is like my heart took control.

He turned toward me." Really?" He asked with a smile.

His dark brown eyes lit up in the darkness and his big white smile glowed as well. I couldn't help but smile too. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

"'Yes. Because I love you with all my heart."

" I will always love you more." He said kissing my nose. We embraced and I fell asleep with my fingers intertwined with his and smiles on our faces.
