Getting To Know You


"I see. You're very different", he says.

"Well is that a bad thing? 'Cause I could always go into fan girl mode", I say with a slight laugh.

"No, it's fine", he says giggling.

"You sure? I mean I can be all 'Omg you're Michael Jackson', 'I love you Michael', 'Marry Me!'", I say in my best fan girl voice.

"No, no please", he says bent over laughing, "I appreciate being treated normal".

"Good because that fan girling business is not for me", I say getting off the swing, "I'm about to go walk on the trail a little more...you wanna come with me?"

"Sure", he says getting off the swing.

We started down the trail and it was quiet for a minute but I finally spoke up.

"Ok, I have something to ask you", I said while still looking ahead.

"Alright", he says and I can feel him looking at me.

"So how in the world does Michael Jackson get away with coming here without being noticed?", I ask as I look at him while still walking.

"I have my ways", he said with a wink.

"Alright, but that's not telling me much", I said as my eyebrows furrowed.

"But that's all you need to know", he said with  smirk.

"Ok, well excuse me Mr. Jackson", I said.

"So, I hear you have a new video coming out", he said.

"Yeah, it's for One In A Million", I said stopping to sit on a bench.

"Wow, I really love that song", he said as he sat down next to me.

I smiled. "Thank you, I hear you're going on your Dangerous world tour soon", I said.

"Yeah, and hopefully I'll see you in the crowd of one of the shows", he said with a smile.

"I'll definitely try to be there", I said returning the smile.

I looked down at my watch and realized it was starting to get late.

"I'm sorry but I have to go now. It's getting kinda late and I have a lot to do tomorrow", I say as I'm getting up.

"It's fine I understand, but here", he pulls a pen and notepad out and starts to write on it, "my number so we can keep in touch".

I take the paper from him and smile. "Alright. Bye Mr. Jackson", I said as I began to walk away.

"Bye Aaliyah", he says.

| 2 months later |

It's been 2 months since Michael and I've met and we've gotten so close. We hang out all the time, like I swear I spend most of my time at his home. He's just so down to earth and fun like a little kid and I love it! 

"Come on Mikey, I wanna watch BeBe's kids", I say pouting.

He ignored me still looking through the pile of movies. 

Finally he spoke. "No Liyah, we watched that last time and it's my turn to pick", he says turning to look at me.

I poked my bottom lip out and gave the puppy dog eyes. "Pleeeeasee", I beg.
