"Isn't this cool!" michael smiled as we walked through the children's museum in Washington DC.

Michaels love for children had always astonished me and it is simple gorgeous. Made my heart melt.

He posed infront of a camera with some friends and their families. I giggled as he made some funny faces.

I wondered off on my own, admiring the the museum. "hi there" a handsome man walked up to me. "hey" i smiled politely.

"i just had to say.. your gorgeous" he chuckled. "oh thank you very much" i nodded my head. "i'm Jason, my mother owns here" he reached his hand out to me. I shook it, "adelaide" i replied.

"are you from around here" he asked moving closer to me. "uh no, i'm just visiting here with my friend/boss, i'm from Los Angeles" i lied. "ah man that's a shame, i would've loved to take you out" he flashed a dashing smile. "however, i'm in la a lot, so give me a call and i'd love to get to know you" he continued.

"oh uh sure" i nodded awkwardly taking the business card he offered me.

"hey ads? you ready to go?" michael asked looking around for me, his face dropped seeing me with another guy, although nothing was going on.

"oh my god that's michael jackson" jason smiled. "that's your friend?" he grinned. "yeah" i walked over to michael. "we gotta go" michael said. "lovely meeting you" michael nodded polite as always. "you too" jason shook his hand.

"well, it was great meeting you Adelaide, i hope to hear from you" Jason smiled. "you too Jason" i nodded. Before walking off with Michael he pulled me around a corner.

"what was that about?" he crossed his arms. "friend?" he raised his eyebrows.

"well michaels is not like i can say 'i'm here with my boyfriend' and then you pop around" i scoffed. "ugh" he rolled his eyes.

"and he gave you his number?" he looked down at the card that was between my fingers. "yeah? so what i'm not gonna call him" i shrugged. "michael i couldn't say your my boyfriend" i rolled my eyes.

"well-" he was out of things to say. "you could've declined it" he said with sass. "michael i didn't want to be rude"
i defended myself. "whatever adelaide" he walked off. I scoffed at his immaturity shortly following behind.

We had some dinner with some friends of Michael and we left to go to the hotel. "do you want me to stay in another room?" i sighed rubbing the bridge of my nose.

We haven't been speaking a lot tonight. "i think that might be best" he said quietly, opening the door and walked in.

"i'm getting a flight and going home" i walked away. "no i need your help with the-" he sighed. "i think you'll survive i've already organised everything and- and you don't want me here so i'm just gonna go home ok?" i turned around.

"adelaide, stop it" he sighed walking to me and pulling me inside. "come on now" he whined. "your overreacting and it's pissing me off" i shrugged. "i'm sorry" he sighed.

I looked at him and gave into his adorable face, he softly kissed me. "it's okay" i smiled inbetween kisses. A grin graced upon his perfect features, my hands soon found a comfortable spot running through his gorgeous curls.

It was perfect, the moonlight shined through the curtains. We looked in one-another's eyes and stood there for a minute, just taking in this beautiful moment.

"i got you this yesterday, i was just trying to find the perfect place to give this to you and i think that's now" he said fumbling around the room to find the specific item.

"here" he said breathlessly as he tripped and got back up, leaving me in a fit of giggles. "i hope you like it" he smiled passing me a small red box.

"mikey.." i gasped as i slowly opened the box, revealing a gorgeous gold band with 3 small diamonds on top. It was simply stunning.

"love it?" he smiled widely as he helped me slide it on my middle finger.

"i more than 'love it' " i bit my lip as i admired it. "it's amazing" tears built up in my eyes at how special he was to me and how much he shows he cares.

"aw baby" he chuckled pushing the small strands of hairs out of my face.

I pushed my lips softly against him, leaving them to fall into a perfect rhythm.
