The next day, August 14 1991
News spread of the mystery blonde making out with Michael Jackson, all tabloids had the pictures on their cover, pictures of Veronica and Michael kissing, sharing the snacks and wine on the boat, they even had a picture of them looking at the lake from their balcony at the rented Villa when they arrived two days ago
"They got a picture of the day we arrived, how?" Veronica gasped looking at the morning paper that was delivered earlier that morning
"That means either the owner of the Villa or someone who saw us arrive here must've told the media about it" Michael mentioned
"What do we do now?" Veronica asked
"Do you want stay or go home?" Michael asked her
"We shouldn't let them ruin our vacation right? They probably say we got in a fight and left" Veronica replied
"True, so lets take the Ferrari and have dinner in the nearby town tonight? We no longer have to stay out of sight now" Michael suggested
"Sounds like a plan" Veronica replied and wrapped her arms around him
"You're the best you know?" Michael smiled at her and held her close "Anyone else would be on the next flight home by now" he continued
"I'm not abandoning my other half" Veronica mentioned and kissed him

By the time they arrived at the restaurant the paparazzi had tripled their numbers and blinded them with the flashes when they made their way from the car to the entrance of the restaurant
Questions about who the blonde was and how they met were shouted by the paparzzi
They ignored all questions and made it inside the restaurant and to their table
"Is that..normal?" Veronica asked
"Sadly, yes" Michael sighed
"Do you ever get used to it?" Veronica asked
"No" Michael answered "So right now you can still walk away from it all and me so you can live your life press free" he continued
"I'm not giving up on us, are you?" Veronica questioned
"No, I'm not giving up on us" Michael promised her
"Then let's order and enjoy our date" Veronica mentioned
"Sounds like a great plan" Michael smiled at her
--- meanwhile in Pasedena,
Bailey blocked out the world while she was busy working on her laptop, writing and editing her chapters, she only took a break to refill her coffee, use the toilet and eat whatever was left in the refrigerator of the bungalow at Michael's ranch that was her temporary home at the moment
Desmond was busy at the restaurant trying to make the staff to listen to him, the half that listened to him did their jobs but the other half showed up when they wanted to and only did half of their tasks, ignoring Desmond because they didn't see him as their boss, he's simply the bartender to them
"Oh Veronica when are you back? I need you" Desmond sighed taking place at Veronica's chair in the office to make sure the paperwork also stays up to date and to add the list of names with the staff that didn't listen to him
--- Italy,
Most of the media left by the time they were done with dinner, the press that was left took some more pictures of them getting back in the car and leaving, to make sure they left together
