The Kiss - A Love Story Hidden in Plain Sight
Monaco, 1996.
The years had passed, but some things never changed. Under the dazzling lights, surrounded by royalty and a world that never stopped watching, Diana Ross did what only she could do-she made Michael Jackson feel like the only person in the room.
Settling onto his lap, her voice warm, playful, familiar, she kissed him.
Soft. Lingering. Just enough to make the crowd wonder.
Michael's cheeks flushed, a slow smile tugging at his lips. He didn't pull away. He didn't want to. But while he basked in the moment, others around them weren't so sure how to react.
Princess Stephanie of Monaco stiffened, eyes locked on them in shock.
Many others too watched in surprise trying to make sense of what they were seeing.
For years, people had speculated, questioned, doubted. And now, in the most unexpected way, Diana had given them another mystery to unravel.
1984-a different stage, a different moment, yet the same undeniable pull. Thriller had shattered records, Michael was at the height of his reign, and Diana was right there beside him.
She stepped onto the stage, beaming with pride, and before anyone would know what was about to happen, she pulled his face into a kiss-right on the lips. The crowd exploded as Cameras flashed endlessly.
But was it just a playful congratulations? A moment of impulse? Or was there something in that kiss-something only the two of them understood?
The cameras captured the moments, but they never captured what came after-the knowing glances, the words left unspoken, the way their worlds always seemed to orbit each other no matter how much time passed.
The Kiss unravels the untold story behind these legendary moments. What was said when the cameras stopped rolling. What did those kisses mean to Diana? To Michael? And most of all-was it ever just a kiss?
Some questions have answers. Others linger forever.

Love Unborn
MICHAEL JACKSON never searched for love; at 24, he found enough intimacy and beauty in his craft. The one thing that satisfied him when nothing else could. But what his craft demanded sated him sometimes, and an outlet became necessary when the fine line between art and work blurred. So his disguised and unauthorized trips to Phonograph, when he found the time, became a much-needed release that he cherished greatly. The woman who stood behind the counter most days of the week had his attention instantly. His eyes lingered prudently from beneath the Ray-Bans with silent admiration. But there was no more room for shy regard when she finally approached him, completely unsuspecting until he said all the wrong things and gave himself away. But not only was she absolutely breathtaking--she was casual about his presence, almost unimpressed by his status. She let him exist in this rare state of peace. And that made her all the more remarkable; he had to take the chance before it passed. And soon, he looked forward to Sundays, from their deep conversations about anything to the way she made his heart beat against his chest with just a look. Romance no longer burdened him; surrendering his heart didn't scare him; he welcomed love and let it coexist with his gift. Because she made him realize it was possible.

Afterlife
Lisa reached up with her free hand. It was not fair that she had to be so utterly vulnerable to him while he got to hide. Michael caught her wrist. "Don't..." "You don't need them in here, Mike." "I do. My eyes are hurting from...and I got a headache..." "Please..." He stilled, biting his lip. Michael brought her hand down gently. Surrendering, she dropped it rest of the way. Maybe it was for the best. Lowering his head, he seemed to think for a moment. Then, in a surprise move, he hesitantly took off his shades. Keeping his eyes closed for a moment. When he finally met her gaze. Lisa swallowed. This story takes place in 2009 and starts on the day the world stopped- June 25. Of course, having the luxury of the alternate universe with a different outcome, the story takes off from there, investigating what Lisa would do with her suddenly unearthed feelings.Complete
