Michael Jackson Fan fiction: Love Is War

Something's not right

“Eve” Michael sighed his eyes brimming up with tears like a dam filling up, one blink and the tear would have flowed down from the fortress of his eyelid but as he kept staring at her unblinkingly, the tear stayed in his eyes and dried up there itself like the memories of his childhood and of Eve.

“I have to go” Eve said in a softened tone, her voice quivering with surprise and guilt at Michael’s sudden confession.

“No, please just stay. One night, just one night is all I ask Eve” Michael pleaded reaching out for Eve’s hand. She gave in to Michael’s pleas “okay, but just one night”.

“Thank you” Michael replied with a soft smile. “Let’s go to dinner, shall we?” Michael said extending his arm out to Eve. “Yes” Eve replied coldly “walk ahead, I’ll follow you” she said not taking his hand.

He turned around dejected and led the way to his limo. He opened the door for Eve but she walked over the to the other side. The ride to the restaurant was mostly quiet. Eve sat close to the window, looking out as Michael kept staring at her. At one juncture, he gently placed his hand over hers but she flicked it off.

“Eve, why are you doing this to me?” Michael asked innocently
Silence was the only answer he got.

“Eve!” he said again sounding irritated and Eve turned around surprised by the sudden raised tone of his voice. “Talk to me please” he continued softening down again.
Eve refused to reply and turned her head away again.

“Bill, take a detour back to the hotel. We’re not going to the restaurant” Michael asserted.

“What! No, Michael dinner was all I agreed to. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you, if you could go back on your words then I should have known you’d do it now too” Eve shouted.

“Yes, we’re having dinner, just instead of the restaurant we’ll be dining in my room, ‘one night’ is all that I said and I never specified where, so I am not going back on my words” Michael replied angrily gritting his teeth with anger.

“There! Finally, the pretense of sweetness comes off. ‘I’m the kindest man on earth, why does the media do this to me?’ I wish the world could see this; this is what you are Michael, always wanting to have your own way, not at all concerned about what the other person may want. Make way people, the real Michael Jackson is back” Eve said raising her hands in the air dramatically.

“Mike, we’re here” Bill replied as the car came to a halt.

“Come with me” Michael ordered

“No”

“Eve, don’t cause a scene just come with me to my room and we’ll sought it all out there. In private”

“I said no”

“That’s it” Michael said as he got out of the car and went over to Eve’s side. He opened her door, took her hand and pulled her out of the car as she vehemently opposed.

“No! I will not come with you” Eve said getting out of the car and pulling her hand away from his.

“Mike!” Bill shouted at Michael, stunned at his violent behavior.

“What are you doing? You’re hurting her” he said pointing to Eve’s purple wrist. “Let go of her hand, Michael” Bill commanded in a father like voice.
Michael calmed down, suddenly realizing what he had done. He let go of Eve and ran into the hotel.

Eve stood still as she watched him go.

“I’m extremely sorry ma’am” Bill said to Eve in gently. “He’s never, never like this. I don’t know what's happened to him today. But I’m sure he’s extremely hurt, otherwise he would never do this.”

“A man’s hurt doesn’t justify him hurting a woman” Eve replied looking at Bill.

“It absolutely doesn’t and believe me Michael isn’t the kind of guy who would ever do that. Eve, please go and talk to him, I’ve never seen Michael like this and it hurts me” Bill said pleading.

“Okay” Eve said sorry to see Bill so vulnerable.

Bill knocked on the big brown door as they reached the 18th floor of the hotel which was entirely booked for Michael.

He knocked again as he got no response. “Michael, open the door” he said knocking on the door again.

“Go away Bill, I need to be alone”

“Michael” Eve called as Bill knocked on the door again. “I want to talk to you not Bill”

There was no response and after a few moments of silence, Bill and Eve turned back and walked down the lobby when they heard a ‘click’ of the door knob.
