I read your fanfic from the beginning, with Ivan and the journey and the ancestor's story, up to the breakup with Michael. I really enjoyed your fic. I think it's a bit dead here, like on Wattpad; fanfics don't interest many people anymore, unfortunately. 😕 Plus when it's about celebrities and real people!

Okay, Michael wasn't gay in reality, but who cares? It's completely fine cause that's normal. I don't think it would have bothered him, but I don't want to speak for him 🥲

If you need to add images or decorations because of bugs, I can post them temporarily while you get things fixed. You can contact a moderator for help: @AlwaysThere and @SmoothGangsta, or @Gaz; they have more access to the settings than I do. 😄

I hope this helped, girl ❤️

P.S.: Just because someone is tall doesn't mean they're strong ;) Michael would have crushed my bones, and I'm SUPPOSEDLY taller than him 😂

Yeah, Michael wasn’t gay in real life. But I don’t know , I find him so beautiful that I cannot put my mind and write a fan fiction abut him and a woman. I just don’t get inspired 😆. He was just too beautiful!

I agree, when he was in the Dangerous Era, he looked like a Goddess with the clean skin and long hair. When I was little, I thought he was a woman. Lol. Fanfics like those within that era, make the men go limp and have unrequited love feelings for him 😆

I’m back! Yeah that’s true😆 I want to thank you and the others for putting a like on my story.
 
Okay everyone, here’s chapter 4 Obstacles & Drama .

Note: I don’t know if I uploaded it on the right place. Also, I want to thank those who took time to leave a like.

🌟 Michael's standpoint.

I couldn't just take off running towards my room and lock myself in without getting it all out once again, for it gave me a sense of freedom. A freedom that I needed more than anything at this moment of my life.

"You heard right, it's over, I'm done with you!" I dash towards my bedroom.

"Michael! Get back here! You don't mean that!" There's no way in the world that he was able to catch me; no one can. Therefore, once I got inside the room, I locked myself in.

"Go to hell, Jacob! Get out of my apartment; I don't want you anymore!" The door shook as he was pounding into it like a crazy lunatic out of control. I jumped backwards away from it. Oh, for God's sake, he's going to break in at any moment. Fear consumed me as I breathed in and out, almost becoming lightheaded. Every time fear takes its toll on me, I pass out or I vomit; I can't control it.

"Open the damn door, Michael!! Open it now!"

"No! go away, Jacob, leave me alone!" I'm going to call Bill...yes, Bill will take care of this. How come I didn't think about it before? I reached for the hand radio on the nightstand, and with trembling fingers, I called Bill.

"Bill... come... please come quickly, I need you. Jacob is out of control!"

"I'll be there quickly, Mike." Jacob continued banging on the door; it seemed like the door was about to burst open, and I was about to pass out when suddenly, I heard Bill's voice.

"Jacob!! What the hell are you doing?! Get out, leave!"

"Bill, this is personal, between Michael and me!" Jacob has seemed to tone down, and I rushed to open the door. "How dare you!" Bill replied.

"I just want us to talk, Bill. I will never do anything to hurt him. I love him, for God's sake." Bill glanced at me, and I voiced. "I don't want us to talk; just go... leave, Jacob!"

"Come on, get out!"

Bill ordered, and I felt a sense of relief. William was there, and so was Keith. I suppose Will told Bill about the incident because of the way Bill was eyeing me. He seemed upset and disappointed in me. He knows that my relationship with Jacob is not good; all of them know. They do their best to protect me, yet they also respect my privacy, and it's all about me. I'm the one who has the last word.

"Are you okay, my child?" No, I wasn't; therefore, I rushed to hug him. After a moment sobbing on his shoulder, he wiped my tears.

"Why, my child. Is this the reason you feel the need to sneak out?" I cast my eyes down, feeling shame.

"I'm sorry, Bill... I'm stressed about everything that has been going on, the tour, the death threats... and yes, Jacob as well. Furthermore, I can't sleep without my meds. Even though I try hard to stay drug-free, I can't come clean because I can't rest."

"I understand, my boy; however, you have to regain your peace of mind, and by doing so, you have to sleep. Let us take care of the rest, and you focus on resting. And, about Jacob, you know I cannot interfere in your private affairs. You know what we all think about him, yet it is your decision.'

"Now, what happened tonight cannot happen again, Mike. You were lucky that that man saved you." I lifted my eyes to see Bill recalling how the stranger saved my life, and my face lit up.

"Where is he? Bill, tell me that you didn't send him away."

"Of course not, that man is worth gold."

"Where is he? I want to see him and thank him for saving me. Bring him to me now, Bill." Oh, I was anxious to see him again. "Oh, you get to thank him, yet, not now. Tomorrow morning, he will come. We have decided to hire him."

"Oh, that's wonderful news... he's... uh, good... excellent indeed. I've never seen someone like him. Though, the way he got rid of those men is just remarkable. What is he? Please don't tell me that he's an undercover agent? There was something odd about him though, the way he was dressed."

"No, of course not, Mike. He's just a bodyguard like us. Right, guys?" Bill glanced at Will and at Keith.

"Well, he's a hell of a guard then. The way he got rid of those men with no help? That was smooth. I'm glad he's on our team... Did you all notice what he was wearing?" Will pointed out.

"Yeah, the man is smooth." Keith replied, And I thought about it as well. I brought my fingers through my lips. It was odd, truly odd.

"Okay, enough, let us go back to sleep. You, Mike, take what you have to take and sleep. Tomorrow at 2:00pm you will have rehearsals for the MTV music awards, remember?"

Yeah, I started to remember my duties. I went back to my bedroom, poured a glass of water, and popped some pills to sleep. I need them, God knows I do. Yet my mind was on the man who saved me. What was his name? Ivan... yeah, that's his name... he has a beautiful name. I inhale, thinking of him... His face appears to be familiar, so familiar... Where have I seen his face? I prepared myself to sleep, washed my teeth, and put on my pjs.

Once in bed, Jacob came to my mind. I feel proud of myself for gathering the courage to end this stormy relationship. All I have to do is remain strong and not go back to him, for I know he's going to do everything possible to convince me to take him back. There's no way in the world that I'm going back. We were together for almost three years. At first, he was the perfect boyfriend, and he helped me get over my previous relationship with Lawrence.

Gosh, I don't want to think about these men in my life anymore. I shouldn't have gotten into this mess; now I'm afraid that this affair might leak to the media. Oh, my God, no, no, no, no. My chest started to hurt, and I sat up. Jacob promised with his life; he said he would take it to his grave. Oh, God, I have to stop tormenting myself this way. All I know is that I don't want to make the same mistakes as in the past. Being with men has brought me nothing but heartache, tears, and disappointments. Now, I want to move on alone and date women. Perhaps that's where my happiness is.

⚜️ Ivan's Standpoint

Seven o'clock in the morning, time to wake up. Last night I ended up sleeping late, for I spent four hours studying my great-grandfather's files and the singer's life as well. It is a no-brainer; the music industry is one of the biggest mafias in the world, and Michael was out of their league. Life turned dark after his enemies decided to destroy him. However, Michael's behavior contributed to all his misery, and that will be challenging, the hardest part of this mission.

My mission is to protect him and change these events, and I'm going to comply with my great-grandfather's wishes, no matter what it takes. As I got up, I prepared myself to leave the room and go to the main office, still dressed in the same garments with which I entered this era. All dressed in black, pretty much gothic-looking. As I reached the lobby, the employees were eyeing me as if I was from another planet.

Oh, I am from this planet, yet not from this era, and apart from all, a cyborg. What worries me now is Michael and his impression of me. Did he notice that aspect of me? Last night was quite dark; nonetheless, if he is an observant guy, as his guard described him? I'll be prepared; I got this.

"Good morning, ma'am, I was wondering if I can use your fax and printer machine?" She smiled flirtatiously and replied.

"Of course you may." She guided me to the administrative office.

"Here you go, handsome; if you need help, just ask. I'll be in the lobby." A smile flicked to the corner of my mouth. I am not the type of man that shows emotions; perhaps it is the cyborg within me. Nonetheless, there's a great percentage of human being in me; I prefer to suppress those emotions. It is not smart for a man of my kind to be vulnerable.

Anyhow, I proceeded to do my business with these old machines. All I did was insert my index finger, the cyborg one, which was my right hand. The old machine had an entrance, and I added the paper. The machine printed seven pages, and then I switched to the fax machine and dialed the number to send all this dumbass paperwork to Bill. Uff... it's so annoying.

"Thank you, ma'am," I said to the lady when I left the lobby. She waved at me.

"You're welcome, handsome. Oh, she's cute, and I waved goodbye and headed to find my motorcycle. I use my AI and ask for directions to the nearest department store for men's clothing. Nonetheless, nothing was open this early, and I have the appointment with Bill at ten am; these stores will not open until eleven. Great, I will have to show up like this.

The restaurants were open; therefore, I took my time to have a nice breakfast. When the time came, I stepped out of the restaurant and headed to meet with Bill. When I reached the hotel I was staying in, I parked my motorcycle in the parking space and went walking across the street, when all of a sudden, my AI alerted me of my great-grandfather entering the same premises I was heading to. Damn... I have to get rid of him. Therefore, I dash to reach him from behind before he could enter the elevator. With one hand I covered his mouth, and with a small twist, I made him pass out.

"Forgive me, Grandpa." I whispered as his body came loose. He was a tall man and heavy, nothing that I couldn't handle; therefore, I dragged his body to the back side of the building and laid him on some long bushes near the entrance. I took a moment to admire his youth. He was a very handsome man. My mother adored him, and emotions hit me right away, for I, on the other hand, remember the last time I saw him alive. I was five years old.

When I rose from squatting, I noticed that there were security cameras. Dammit! I'm in trouble; therefore, I headed towards the camera room. Once I reached the area, no one was there. Yet when I entered the room, a man entered from a door inside the camera room. He stood there frozen as he saw my face and my eyes becoming neon blue.

When I don't carry a weapon apart from my body, my cyborg provides me with what I need. I pulled a gun from my forearm as it opened. I can't leave witnesses behind; therefore, I shot him dead. Now, I rush to the camera monitor and operate the system to erase the incident.

There you go, it's gone. Luckily, no one else came, and I left the camera room and the cameras to restart recording after a minute I left the control room. Now, I headed to the elevator and reached the last floor. The door opened, and there I saw the only door that was in front of me. I stepped out of the elevator and came to stand before the apartment door. I pressed 777, and no one came to the door until the third attempt. When I opened the door, a man stood there.

"Who are you?" He asked, eyeing me with disdain from head to toe. With no expression on my face, I responded.

"I have an appointment with Bill Bray." He smirked.

"I asked, who were you, fool? And, you look like you're going to a Halloween party, not to have an appointment with Bill."

I remain with a stiff face, with my glare fixed on this man. I recall his face; he was one of the guards who took the singer away last night. He was tall, yet not as tall as myself, black-haired, and well-built with a mean expression on his face. At that moment, a man appeared from behind.

"Mr. Miller, good morning. We have been waiting for you. Come on in." The man standing before me moved aside to let me in.

"Does anyone care to tell me who this man is?" We both eyed him.

"Jacob, don't you remember him? He's the man who saved Michael last night." It seemed that the man was not happy to see me. I wonder why, yet, I kept my stiff face settled on him.

"Bill has hired him to work with us. Isn't that wonderful?" He didn't seem happy at all.

"You mean to tell me that he's going to hire a stranger?" At that moment Bill appeared from behind the nice man who received me with kindness.

"Mr. Miller, come on in; we have work to do." He then introduced us.

"Will, I see you met Mr. Miller. This is Jacob Turner and William Paterson." Will shock my hand right away, but Jacob did not reach to even try to greet me, and so did I.

"Are you kidding me , Bill? You're going to hire a stranger just because he saved Michael?" Bill arched an eyebrow.

"Well, the stranger did your job better than you could ever do it. You were with him, and he sneaked out on you. What were you doing?"

"Still, Bill, it is not safe to hire a stranger. I can't believe you." He replied. I can't believe this man. What is his problem?

"Well, he's actually a professional bodyguard, and he's well endorsed, he has an impressive curriculum. What more can we ask for?" The argument continued; this man was stubborn.

"Still, with all that, no one becomes a member of our crew without a proper endorsement, people who actually know him, not some agency. That's a protocol we must follow, Bill." Bill had enough and became annoyed as he replied.

"Listen, Jacob, I make decisions here. Do not forget who I am."

"Oh, I know who you are, but my priority is Michael's safety, and I am not going to allow a stranger to be part of our crew."

"Well, eventually, there's nothing that you can do. But if you truly care for Michael and his safety, you should start by checking yourself because you truly are an asshole to him." The man didn't say a single word after that. I wonder what Bill meant by pointing out something that appeared truly personal.

"Come on, Mr. Miller, follow me. We have paperwork to do." He glanced at Jacob once again and said, "you, stay away from Michael. He doesn't want you near him." But the man continued.

"I have to talk to him, Bill."

"If you disobey my orders, I will fire your ass! You will talk to him when he decides to and when he's ready to do so. Is that clear?!" He then glanced at Keith. Keith understood what Bill commanded. He wanted him to keep an eye on Jacob. What the hell was going on in here? I ask myself, why so much drama?

⚜️ Stay tuned for more, let me know your thoughts.

⚜️Chapter 5 First In Command

🌟Ivan’s standpoint.

Bill and I walked into his office, and as soon as he closed the door behind us, he noticed the way I was dressed.

“I told you not to show up looking like that, young man.”

“Oh, sorry, Mr. Bray. The department stores were closed, and honestly everything happened so fast, I didn’t have an opportunity to bring my clothes.” He opened up a chair for me to sit next to his desk.

“Well, I’m glad that Michael is still asleep, and by the time he gets up, we’ll be done, and I will give you your new uniforms.” I wasn’t happy about wearing the same clothes as the rest of the crew. I needed to carry my shit, my stuff, my weapons.

Furthermore, I kept quiet for a moment as he went through my rĂŠsumĂŠ.

“Wow, you are more than what I have expected. I’m glad you’re here.” We signed many papers, and we elaborated on the pay, which was cheap compared to the era that I come from. But money wasn’t relevant; I was also getting a salary from my era, which was a lot more.

I signed confidentiality agreements, and he immediately explained himself.

“Whatever you hear and see, you will take it to your grave, young man, is that clear?”

“More than clear, sir.”

“Listen, let me be more specific: that man you just met, Jacob, the one who received you, he’s with Michael. He’s a problem, yet we have to put up with his bad behavior because of Michael.

Their relationship is not good, but Michael loves him, and we cannot interfere in his private life. Things will get ugly every now and then, when Jacob will get a bit physical with Michael. We must not allow that to happen, not in our presence.”

I couldn’t believe this; this man was physically hurting Michael? What a coward, it was sad to hear it. It almost broke my heart.

“Why don’t you let go of him?”

“Believe me, I have tried it before, and Michael intervenes for him. We must respect Michael’s privacy, his personal affairs. It’s no one’s decision but his.”

“I see,” I replied; he had a point there.

“Did you ever think that he would also be with men?” In the era that I come from, no one would be scandalized over this. Practically, you are free to do whatever you wish with your personal life. Being gay is no issue.

“Well… I never thought about it. It’s actually something that doesn’t concern me. I believe that everyone is free to do whatever they want to do with their private life.” He smiled.

“I like you, young man. Welcome to our team.” He shook my hand.

“Although Michael is not free to do what he wishes with his private life. The world would tear him apart if they knew about it. He’s a fragile soul; he would literally die. Therefore, we must protect him from the media, from his family, and sometimes from himself, at any cost.”

“I understand,” I nodded as he continued.

“Now, in a couple of months Michael will be embarking on a new world tour, and we need someone with your qualifications to protect him from his enemies.”

The Dangerous World Tour was when all hell broke loose. I know what happened; I know everything.

“Enemies? Does he know who his enemies are?” I asked. Even though I know everything that happened, the names of those who were behind his death were never revealed.

“He has his suspicions. He’s a clever guy, and ever since he outsmarted the industry, things have been getting worse.”

“I see, and what happened last night makes it more than clear that they are out to get him.” I explained, and he continued.

“They are trying to kill him; we have been receiving death threats in his correspondences and in calls. Now, I don’t know how to handle this.’

I’m an old man, and I’m terrified that something may go wrong in our strategy to protect him and they end up killing him.’

We as his security team are doing our best to keep him safe, yet, look what happened last night!’

We need you to guide us; someone like yourself must be first in command. This will not be good news for Jacob; nonetheless, that fool will have to suck it up, or I will dismiss him.”

I was glad to hear that I will be in command; however, the singer will have to know that I am an agent.

“I see, and I agree with you; however, there’s an issue about that. You don’t want Mr. Jackson to know that I am an agent.” He took a deep breath and allowed me to continue.

“Honestly, Mr. Bray, it is essential that he should know. It is not convenient to hide this from him.’

He must overcome his fears and allow me to do my job. I will convince him that I’m a good guy, that my mission is his well-being.”

“You know, I think you’re right. After the way you saved him last night. I think you have a chance to convince him.’

“You’re the man; you will lead us. Now that you are in first command, I will dedicate myself to be his personal assistant.’

Of course, I will still manage his security staff, yet I will not make decisions… you will.’

Boy… Jacob will not be happy about this. Can’t wait to see his face, and he is going to do everything possible to make your life miserable… trust me.”

“Umm, what is his position here, apart from his relationship with Mr. Jackson?”

“Well, he could be anywhere, as could the others, yet the one who was in first command was Keith, aside from myself.’

You will have no problems with Keith. He truly doesn’t want to be first in command.’

And the rest are okay; they are good guys, they will obey you.” We rose from our seats, and he guided me to the changing room. He showed me my new wardrobe, and I disagreed right away.

“For today, I’m fine with this; nonetheless, I cannot wear this, Bill. I’m going to bring my wardrobe.” He lifted his eyebrows as he replied.

“Hey, you do what you need to do. You’re in command from now on.” I nodded as he smiled and tapped my shoulder.

He allowed me to change, and he smiled when he saw me in this uniform. It was a bit tight, and the pants were not long enough.

“Sorry about that; that was the largest we had. Considering that you will bring your wardrobe, when are you going to be available to start?”

“As soon as possible, I have someone who’s able to bring my stuff.” We agreed on that, and then he brought the guys so I could meet them. During that moment when he stepped out, I glanced at my watch, and the watch became visible.

I went ahead and texted Adrian, “Adrian, I need you to bring me my wardrobe. Leave it at my hotel room.” He replied right away.

“What?! Ivan, you cannot dress like this in that era. You’re going to bring a lot of attention.”

“I have an explanation for everything; you must trust me! I need my wardrobe; I cannot work like this!”

“Okay… I will.”

“Bring my weapons as well.”

“What?”

“Do it!” I ordered, and he agreed. “Okay… I’ll be there as soon as possible.” When Bill opened the door, I was on my back; my watch disappeared.

“Okay, Mr. Miller, here are the guys.”

I turned to see five men, Jacob among them, who immediately asked. “What is this all about?”

“You’ll see.” Bill replied, and he started to introduce the crew.

“You know Keith, William, and Jacob. Now this is Isaac Garcia and Sean Taylor. Guys, this is Ivan Miller, an FBI and CIA agent who’s just become a member of our crew.’

From now on he’s going to be first in command; therefore, you are all under his orders.”

“What? Am I hearing well?” Jacob asked. We all eyed him.

“Bill, have you lost your mind?!” Sean, Isaac, Keith, and William welcomed me by shaking my hand. I remained calm when I glanced at the troublemaker. “Michael must know about this!”

“Of course he will, come on, we are going to see him now.” Bill replied as he eyed me, and Jacob attempted to come with us, but Bill stopped him.

“Where are you going?” Jacob glared at him, “I’m going with you to see Michael.”

“No, you stay here.”

“Bill, I have to be there as well!”

“Look, first of all, Michael doesn’t want to see your ass, remember? Don’t play smart with me!” He then glanced at me, and when I stepped forward, we both came eye to eye… uhh, I can’t stand this man. He had to bend his pride; there’s no other way to resolve this issue.

Bill and I left the security lodge and headed towards another apartment. We stepped out of the lodge and walked to our left. About six feet away, there was a double-door entrance. I assumed it was the singer’s main apartment. He entered a code, and as he did, I recorded the code with a glance. Bill did not give me the code; he forgot. Yes, the man is old, yet he seems to be a wonderful person. Anyhow, the door opened.

Deep inside I was nervous to see myself standing before this beautiful man. “Wait here, let me wake him up.” He said, and I stayed there, feeling odd. After a minute, Bill came back.

“Let us give him a minute; he’ll be here.” He then took the moment to give me a tour of the apartment. It had a nice spacious living room, a kitchen, a laundry room, everything outdated of course. It had a spacious balcony as well, with wall-to-wall windows to admire the city.

We came back inside, and we still waited. I noticed that Bill was also nervous. It took about an hour for him to step out of his room. Then suddenly my heart skipped a bit as I noticed his thin body frame entering the living room.

“Good morning,” he greeted as I rose. “Good morning, Mr. Jackson.” I replied. He was still in his PJs, with his hair fixed in a low bun. That gorgeous pair of eyes scanned me from head to toe. My God, his beauty was beyond what I expected; he truly had the face of an angel. He bit his lip timidly as he looked away and folded his arms.

“Michael… this is the man who saved you last night. The right man we need to keep you safe.”

“I remember his face; without his help, I wouldn’t be standing here. I want to thank you, Mr.…. Ivan, am I right?”

“Ivan Miller, sir.” I replied.

“Thank you so much for saving me, Mr. Miller.” I just nodded, and then Bill started the discussion right after.

“Mike… umm, there’s something that you must know.”

“Okay…” He eyed Bill, who seemed truly nervous. “Mr. Miller… he’s going to take charge of the security team. He'll be first in command because of his qualifications… and…” he couldn’t say it, and he eyed me. I understood that he wanted me to finish up what he couldn’t say. What the heck? What's the big deal? He should just say it.

“I’m an FBI agent, sir.” He widened his eyes as he eyed me. He then looked back at Bill.

“We talked about this, Bill. You know how I feel about agents.”

“I know, Mike, I know…”

“No, Bill, no! I don’t want him near me!” Oh, no, this did not go well. He went back to his room terrified like a little child. Poor thing, I wonder why he fears government agents so bad. Bill and I eyed each other.

“I told you… what do we do now?”

“Give it some time; eventually, he’ll get accustomed to seeing me around.” I replied, and he inhaled.

“What happened? Why doesn’t he trust FBI agents?” “It’s a long, sad story that happened a long time ago. If you win his trust, he will tell you his secrets.” Then he eyed me for a moment.

“Have I met you before?” That was an odd question.

“No, I don’t think so, why?” I frowned.

“Oh, it’s nothing… and yes, I believe that Michael will eventually get used to seeing you around. His security is at stake, and his safety matters more than anything. You are the man for this job; I have no doubts about that. Let me go talk to him.”

“Alright, I’m going back to my hotel room to get my stuff and come back. One more thing, Bill.”

“Yes?” He asked, “I need my space, my room, and my office.”

“Well, back in the guards' lodge, there’s no space. But there’s one here. There’s one room with a small office, yet Michael has to agree.” Great, he doesn’t want me near him. He lifted his eyebrows as I frowned.

“I will talk to him.”

“No, Bill, I cannot invade his private space. He has to trust me first.”

“Young man, you are so modest. After the way you saved him, you deserve his trust. What else is there to prove? Michael has to come to his senses and leave his fears aside.”

⚜️ I had to stop here because I don’t want my chapters too long. What do you guys think about Michael’s reaction? Let me know.
 
Just read this on Wattpad! 😁 And it's even more awesome on here! 😉 Let's hope Michael puts his trust into Ivan soon, his safety is more important now than ever knowing what's at stake, plus, there might be more to Ivan that meets the eye 😉

⚜️Chapter 6. Nostalgia


🌟Ivan’s standpoint.


I left Michael’s apartment, and as soon as I stepped out of the door, Jacob was standing there.

“I have to talk to Michael!”

He demanded. This man has to be stopped. I am not planning to put up with his bad attitude. I am in command, and he will respect me; therefore, I came face-to-face with him, glaring down a bit, for I was taller than he.

At this very moment, the other guys came in to witness what was happening. With my cyborg arm, I pinned him up against the wall with my hand on his chest, compressing it. He tried to fight back, but he wasn’t able to.

He felt the immense pressure on the center of his chest. I could have crushed his chest if I wanted to; yet, I just wanted him to feel my strength. Moreover, I wasn’t on a battlefield, and the singer cared for this man.

“When you speak to me, you’ll call me by my name. I am above you, and you will not raise your tone at me. I expect you to be polite and comply with your duty. You are a professional bodyguard; therefore, behave like one and leave your personal feelings aside! Mr. Jackson will speak to you when he wishes. Get it into your ****** head, do you understand?!”

The others were shocked to see my strength and how Jacob couldn’t defend himself. When I released him, he brought his hands to the center of his chest as he tried to breathe normally again.

When I became angry, my eyes turned neon blue, yet only if I allowed my AI to control me. Jacob must have captured a bit. Dammit, I have to be more careful.

“Okay, guys, I’m going to get my stuff across the street. I will not take long.”

“Sir, we received a call from the building security team. Someone entered the camera room and killed the security guard.” Will pointed out.

“Did they capture it on camera?”

“Sean is there; we don’t know all the details.”

“Alright, from now on, I want two of my men to be guarding the building 24/7. Isaac, meet with Sean; you both will be in charge. Report everything to William and Keith. Keith, William, and Jacob will stay here for now.” I drew close to William and said.

“Keep an eye on this man. Don’t allow him to see Mr. Jackson if he doesn’t want to.”

They all obeyed me, and I proceeded to take the elevator. When I entered the lobby, I told the front lady that I would need to stay more days. I paid for 15 days. It turned out that my hotel room is just in front of Michael's apartment.

Just perfect—with my AI, I would be able to keep an eye on him. All I have to do is put a magnetic device anywhere inside the apartment. When I stepped inside my room, Adrian was there.

“Hello, handsome.” He rose from the chair and greeted me, patting my lips with a kiss.

“What are you doing here?” His arms were over my shoulders.

“Babe, you told me to bring you your stuff.” Oh, right, that was true, yet I don’t believe I asked him to wait here for me. Oh, I felt bad for feeling this way.

“You’re not happy to see me?”

“Don’t ever say that. You know I love you silly.” We patted more kisses, then he parted from my arms.

“Here are your toys, bad boy.” He walked to two huge silver traveler cases with wheels.

“You will find your wardrobe in the black case. I got you clothes fit for an agent but adequate for this era. You must not draw too much attention from people of this era, specifically from the singer’s enemies.”

“I see… you’re always on point with everything. What would I do without you?”

I pulled him into me and kissed him once again. When we pulled away from the kiss, he started questioning me about Michael.

“How is he in person? Is he truly as gorgeous as he appears in photos?” Oh, no, not again. Why is he asking me this stupid question? It’s truly annoying.

“Babe, why are you asking me this? I don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know? Don’t you have eyes? And please don’t say that you only have eyes for me.” I scratch my head, feeling annoyed. Dammit, what do I say?

“Uhh… well, he’s exactly like he looks in photos. No big deal.” Oh, I was annoyed.

“And?” He asks, “And what?” I replied. “How did you feel?” This conversation was truly annoying.

“Feel about what, Adrian? What are you talking about? How am I supposed to feel? Do I have to feel something?!” I had it, and I raised my tone.

He cast his eyes down with sadness, and that broke my heart. It made me feel like a jerk. I’m not that type of man; I hate arguing and hurting the people I care for.

“I’m sorry, baby, come here.” I kissed his forehead and cuddled him into my wide chest.

“Please forgive me.” When I glanced into his face, his eyes were glassy.

“Babe, please don’t cry. Forgive me, it breaks my heart to see you like this.”

“I love you so much… I don’t want to lose you; I truly don’t.” I cupped his face and said, “Hey, why are you saying that? That’s never going to happen.” He inhaled and drew away from my embrace.

“I… have to go; my time is up.” He dried his tears.

“Adrian, please tell me you will be okay.” He forced a smile and said,

“Sorry for being so sentimental. I'll be okay, I promise.”

He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a round quantum. It had a shimmering blue light in the center. Soon, with a command, his body was covered with the same blue light, and thereafter, he was gone.

Adrian was feeling nostalgic, for we had been apart many months before this mission. We only spent fifteen days together. I truly understand what he’s going through. He’s a clever guy; he must have foreseen that my love for him has shifted to another type of love.

I took a deep breath and diverted my attention to the cases he brought me. I changed clothes right away. Certainly, the clothes were not from the nineties, yet neither from my era. However, what mattered was that I had all my costumes and my gear: all black, slim cargo pants, also slim cargo shirts, and ankle boots.

As soon as I was ready, I went back to Michael's apartment. When I stepped into the building, the police were there. Sean and Isaac were there, and when they caught sight of me, they both approached me with the police detective. They eyed me from head to toes.

Isaac and Sean introduced me to the detective; nonetheless, the detective and I knew each other. He was the one who interrogated me the night I saved Michael. We elaborated on the situation, and thereafter, we headed back to the singer’s apartment.

When the elevator door opened, I found Bill stepping out of the singer’s suite.
He had a serious face. Oh, no, could it be that he didn’t convince Michael? I sent Sean and Isaac to the security lodge.

“What happened, Bill? How is Mr. Jackson?”

“Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that he accepted that we need your help; however, he doesn’t want you near him. Give him time; I have faith that he will come to trust you.”

“Great, that’s all I need.” I can’t explain what I’m feeling inside. The emotion in my stomach, it felt like butterflies; however, I did not show emotions.

“Listen, Michael is having breakfast with Kate, his makeup artist; after breakfast, he’s going to have rehearsals at the Universal Amphitheater for the MTV Music Awards. You and I will be communicating constantly. I have Michael’s agenda; therefore, anything you require regarding him, you will come to me.” He then eyed me from head to toes.

“Well, you look… interesting. As long as you’re comfortable.”

“Oh, I am.”

“Listen, I have a place for you to stay. I will move into Michael’s extra room, and you can have my room and the office over there with the guys. How about that?”

“If you have a private bedroom inside the lodge, it will be perfect.” He smiled and walked me to the guards lodge.

“Of course I do. Let me show you, and we’ll do the change when we come back from rehearsals.”


🌟Michael’s Standpoint.

After having a conversation with Bill, my best friend and confidant joined me for breakfast. I've known her since the Thriller era, when she started working for me as my makeup artist. She knows all my secrets. I love her so much.

I know she will take my secrets to her grave; she has proven herself to be loyal many times. Today I was thoughtful and uneasy, and even though Bill convinced me about the new guard, I couldn’t help but to be worried and scared.

“Michael, you must eat more, come on. Remember that you have rehearsals, and you need that energy.” Truly, she had a point there; I needed energy for rehearsals; therefore, I started eating my ham and eggs that she brought me.

“Why are you so thoughtful this morning, Mike? Something happened that I should know?”

After a mouthful, I sipped on my orange juice, and I told her about what happened last night.

“Um… so much happened… I don’t know where to start. All I know is that I’m in danger, Kate.” I opened up about every little detail that happened until what happened this morning.

“Oh, my God, Mike. I’m glad he was there to save you. And you should trust him; not all agents are corrupt. The fact that he got rid of all those men means that he is good. That’s the man you need for your protection.”

“Well, it could have been the perfect strategy to enter my life and my entourage. And he lied to me that night. He said he was the building security guard. Then, it turned out that he was the agent that Bill wanted to hire. Bill is annoying me; he did all this behind my back.”

“Oh, Michael, Bill knows what he’s doing. And the new guard must have known that you didn’t like agents. He wouldn't approach you out of nowhere and tell you that he’s an agent; that wouldn’t be a smart move.”

“That is what Bill explained to me; however, I’m still scared after all these years. I can’t get over the fact that a secret agent is the cause of my misery.” Nostalgia took over me and she saw my gloominess as she reached for my hand and pressed it gently.

“Oh, Mike, it’s been so long; I thought you had gotten over him.” My eyes became watery as I replied.

“No, Kate, he’s in my heart, and he’ll always be, until the day I die.” I dried my tears right away, for I didn’t want to burst into tears.

“You know what’s truly behind my decision to let him stay?”

“What?” She asked.

“He resembles him… I don’t know if it’s my mind that is playing tricks on me, but I see Aaron in him.” Another tear ran down my face.

“I was doing okay all these years trying to move on without him… and… now this new guard comes and I’m falling apart once again.”

“Oh, Michael…” she squeezed my hand. Now, I couldn’t control my tears. After a moment, I composed myself and took a deep breath dried my tears again.

“Perhaps the reason that I can’t find true love is because I lost it a long time ago… and all because of selfishness and ambition. Boy, I’ve accomplished what I wanted and still want more, but…. I don’t have him… and it hurts so much.”

Tears streamed down my face once again. I couldn’t take it; therefore, I rose from the chair and walked to the window. Kate approached me from behind and embraced me.

“Oh, Mike, please don’t do this to yourself. There’s no use for suffering so much for something that happened long ago. You have to move on, sweetheart. Smile, you are so beautiful when you do so.”

I guess she’s right; I know she is; therefore, I dried my tears right after. When she touched my forearm to bring me back to sit, a low moan escaped from my lips. “Ouch!”

“Michael, what’s wrong with your forearm? Did I hurt you?” We sat back in our chairs.

“No, it wasn’t you.”

“Let me see, is it bad?” I didn’t allow her to pull up my sleeve.

“It’s nothing… I’m okay.”

I couldn’t see her eyes; she would know right away that I was hurt and that Jacob did it. Therefore, I was avoiding her gaze. But she was a clever girl, she knew. She had seen these many bruises before; it was nothing new.

“Michael, did he hurt you again?”

“Well… you know how sensitive my skin is… and… he just grabbed me tight.”

“What an asshole! He knows how sensitive your skin is, and he still grabs you like a damn brute? What happened? What was his excuse now?”

“Jealousy… he believes that I sneak out on him in the middle of the night to go see the new guard… because according to him I’m cheating on him with this man.”

“Oh, Mike, let me see your arm.” I allowed her this time, and I pulled up my sleeve.

“Oh, that son of a gun! Oh, Mike, it looks bad; you have to see a doctor.”

“No, no, Kate... I’m okay.”

“No, Michael, you are not okay. I’m calling Mark.” Somehow I knew she wouldn’t listen. When she came back to sit by my side, she asked me.

“Oh, Mike, why don’t you dump his ass? Baby, you can get any man or woman you like with the click of your fingers.” A smile formed on my lips.

“I dumped him.”

“Oh, my God, are you serious?!” She was so happy that she hugged me.

“Don’t take him back, like you’ve done before, Mike.”

Oh, God, I have taken him back so many times that I’ve lost count. When I miss being under him, underneath those muscles and his wide chest, I become so weak and I give in.


🌟Merry Christmas everybody!🌟
 
You can have anything you want, but when loneliness takes you, then you feel like you have nothing at all. Hmmm...Aaron? Well, let's see how it will turn out 😏😉
