Summer 1972

Fancy's P.O.V

My life has changed completely since Michael's left. I moved to Atlanta, Georgia with my rich Auntie Colette with my sister and we both pursued a career in modeling as a duo. My mother filed for divorce and my father moved to the Bahamas. Since then, my mother is too busy going on business trips. Michael's wrote me a few times, but not recently. When I wrote him a letter last month, I never got a response.

Auntie Colette has us modeling for the Calvin Klein clothing company that was established in 1968. The foto shoots were successful and earned us quite a few bucks.

I jumped a bit when the doorbell rang. When I looked through the peep hole, no one was out there. It rang again, no one in sight. It kept on going five times until I was furious and demand to know who was behind this. I opened the door and heard a familiar voice. " Where's your funny bone?" A male voice asked. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw Michael appear from behind the bushes. " Michael!!!!!" I ran like lightning across the sky to him and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.

He giggled a bit at my expression. I pulled him into an embrace until I felt something on my leg. I looked up and he was blushing slightly. " Do anda mind?" He asked, looking at the floor. I shook my head and smiled. " No,I like it. It lets me know anda still Cinta me" I giggled to myself.

Felicity came out to see what all the commotion was. " Fancy, what's-" She spotted Michael. " hei Chipmunk! What's been going down in the world of Michael?" Michael smiled his hearty and warm smile he used when something important was happening in his life. " Nothin' much. Just touring, being around my brothers, just busy. Being the best kid group in the world. And you?"

I was railing about my life until something hit me. How did Michael know where we lived? " How did anda figure out where I lived?" I was totally confused now. " I have my ways." He giggled.

This was really confusing now. The last time I sent a letter was when I was still in Gary. I frowned. " Come on, tell me." Michael shook his head. " No way, girl. A man has to keep some secrets to himself." " Some man." I mumbled.

Then, there was rustling coming from the bushes again. " I thought the exterminator took care of that raccoon problem." I joked, even though I had an idea of who it was. Sure enough, the rest of family atau what I call ' the Jackson clan' popped up.

The first to hug me was a very hyper 6 tahun old Janet, who wrapped her arms playfully around my waist. " I missed anda so much Faye! I can't even remember the last time I saw you!"

Randy with his goofy butt smiled and berkata " So we're raccoons, huh?" I crossed my arms. " anda never know."

Jackie hugged me seterusnya and gave me one of his monstrous menanggung, bear hugs. " Nice to see anda again! May I say anda look lovely today?" I smirked at him. So not the Jackie I remember four years ago.

Tito simply exchanged smiles with me while Marlon picked me up bridal style. " Fancy, what's up girl? I know anda missed me! anda know, anda haven't changed a bit!" He cooed, playing with my cheeks.

I smiled sarcastically. " anda will change if anda don't get your hands of my face!" Marlon snatched his hands off and walked away awkwardly.

Jermaine rolled his eyes. " Marlon, get yo hands of the girl. Michael already mencuri her heart." I smiled at him and he blushed.

" Enough standing out here, let's come inside." I said, opening the door. They nearly ran me over when coming inside.

Everybody stared in awe when they stepped inside. Especially Michael, who was already looking around like the little curious boy he is.

Felicity sat on the sofa, kerusi panjang with an annoyed look on her face. " So I guess I'm invisible?" She asked sarcastically. " Huh, what was that?" Jackie asked playfully.

" Oh, shut up!" She growled, pushing Jackie's leg forcefully. " Where is La Toya? I just now noticed that she's missing."

Michael shrugged. " Probably with our manager Suzanne. That's what she does when she wants nothing to do with us." I smirked. " Why would she do that?" Jermaine shrugged. " Beats me."

" Speaking of La Toya, where is your Aunt?" Tito asked. " She'll be back sejak tomorrow. She left the house with us for right now."

Michael just exploded with questions. " How long have anda been modeling? Is it fun? Can I see some pictures? And this house, is it big enough for all of us? How big is your room? Is it big enough for the two of us? How about your sister's room? Is your room bigger than hers? How rich is your Aunt? Is she rich enough to buy a McDonalds restaurant? How about me? Did anda miss me? Did anda think about me all hari and night?"

I try to keep a straight face while answering all his questions. " Wait a minit Michael. First of all, I've been modeling for three years, yes it's fun. There are some pictures in my room if anda want to see them. This house can fit all of us in here if anda are looking to stay. My room is really big. It's as big as my sister's. My aunt is really rich, she earns at least 1 million per day. She can be rich enough to buy a McDonalds restaurant one hari I hope. And yes to the rest of the questions."

Michael embraced me into a tight hug that was similar to the one that he gave me four years ago. I didn't realize until now how much I missed Michael until now. It's kinda like he was erased from my mind ever since I moved to Atlanta.

Felicity cleared her throat. " Alright, what's the deal here. anda guys lookin' to stay here for a couple a days atau what?" Janet smiled. " Sure, why else would we come with our van full of luggage?"

Michael and Janet zoomed outside to grab their luggage first. They were fighting over who would sleep with me. " I sleep with Fancy because she's my best friend." Michael demanded. Janet shook her head. " No! I want to sleep with her! We're both girls!"

Later that night....

Michael won the mini feud and is going to sleep in a air mattress seterusnya to my bed. I was busy brushing my hair while humming ' Once in My Life' sejak Stevie Wonder. Michael was watching me the whole time.

" Fancy?"

" Yes?"

" What do anda think about love?"

" Not this again Michael. We already had our first kiss."

" I know, but I want to know what anda think about it."

" Is this really necessary?"

" Yes, yes it is."

" Cinta is just an emotion, Michael. I don't know why your taking it so seriously.'"

" Fancy, I'm serious." I immediately put down my brush and glance at him. " Are anda seeing someone else?" He shook his head various times. " What? No! I'm not interested in anybody except you!"

" Ok, then what is it?" I asked. " During these past four years, I've been thinking. We're getting older, and I've sorta been getting some new feelings that I never felt before. I was wondering, can anda be my girlfriend? I Cinta anda lebih than a friend."

Trying to marinate all these feelings inside all at once is difficult. I'm still trying to see if I Cinta him lebih than a friend also. " Michael, this is all so sudden.' I said, rubbing my temples with frustration. " Save it." He berkata obviously disappointed. " No, wait! I didn't say no. We live in different places and it'll be hard for us to keep in touch." I say quickly.

" anda didn't? I know we'll be in different areas but we'll make it work." He asked, tears nearly forming in his eyes. I shook my head. " No. The truth is that I Cinta anda Michael." He smiled. " I Cinta anda too Fancy."

He leaned in and so did I to give me a romantic and sweet kiss. This one was different because we did it longer and was lebih like an experiment. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I was stunned to feel Michael's curious hands glide down my waist. Sure, we are both 14 but seriously! This dude has some exploring hands! With us still going at it, I pulled his hands away from what was almost my bottom.

Don't ask me how long our lips were locked because I Lost count. But, let me tell anda that was the best Ciuman my lips were ever given...

Michael and I were cuddled close together watching The Godfather. Michael was nearly dying to watch it.

Before I knew it, we both fell asleep in each other's arms...
