It's A Love Hate Thing

Chapter 9:My Bestfriend My Love

Michael's POV
I watched as she slept peacefully and smiled
I could get used to this I told myself
Then sunlight hit my eyes I turned my head slowly getting up out of bed tip toeing downstairs walking to the phone dialing my brothers number "Junior" I whispered
"Yes Michael what is it" he said a bit groggily
I could tell I woke him up
"Sorry for waking you but I need you to help me with something"
"What is it" he said as he yawned loudly
"Well I need help picking out a ring"
"A ring..? A ring!? Michael are you sure ... you've been hurt already by your ex wife and now Whitney don't you think your moving a little bit too fast, and do you even know about this woman's past?"
I paused "Yes I'm sure and no I don't think I'm moving too fast I'm sure I want this Junior she's unlike any other woman I've been with she's my best friend and my lover in one person ... I'm positive I want her in my life forever"
"Alright but you do know it's 8 O Clock in the morning couldn't this have waited?!"
"No it couldn't have, I didn't want to wake her"

Junior's POV
Oh boy here he goes falling in love again
Almost every woman that's left him with a broken heart I had to watch him break down and cry about ... yet here he is in love again!
I rolled my eyes as my brother answered me "Oh but you could wake me!" I yawned loudly getting up out of my bed
"Be ready please I'm hungry and would like to go eat before we go find this ring" he started singing and all I could do is laugh
"I thought you said you didn't wanna wake her up?"
"And every time I need someone to turn my upside down back up your always there I'm just so glad your care , you're my best friend my love my love you are my best friend"
"Shh your going to wake her and ruin the plan"
I grabbed my pants holding the phone to my ear trying to put my shirt over my head I breathed heavily annoyed
"Go get dressed Michael!"
"Okay okay"
I hung up the phone putting my shirt on then my shoes I walked downstairs grabbing my car keys off of the hook walking outside smiling waving to my neighbors as I got into my car driving to my brothers house for his sake I hope she is the one he isn't getting any younger

Michael's POV
I closed the door quietly behind me running to Junior's car "Hey brother!" He laughed at me then unlocked the car door I got in and smiled at him
"So what's so special about this woman"
What's so special about her everything
she's amazing , she truly is my best friend
Is what I thought because his question seemed rhetorical to me as the supremes you can't hurry love started to play all I could do is smile "Junior she's the one I know she is"
"Michael you said the same thing about Whitney then she up and left you with your son remember"
I looked down then back at him
"Yes I remember but she's different Junior I know she won't leave me and I trust that she'll never hurt me"
"Have you guys... you know?"
"I'm a gentleman"
I laughed as he pressed down hard on the break
"Junior! You trying to kill me?!"
"No but I want you to be serious with me"
We walked out of the car walking into the Waffle House getting our usual taking it to go as we indulged in our waffles we approached the jewelry store
"Do you even know her ring size?"
He stopped the car and I couldn't help myself I wiped my sticky hands on his head then laughed running into the jewelry store
"Michael! Come on!"
He ran after me as I was catching my breathe in the store I pulled out a ring I seen her wear occasionally
"You know you can be a real jerk sometimes Michael"
"I know Junior now come help me pick out this ring"

Diana's POV
Last night was amazing but once I opened my eyes and didn't see Michael by my side I got worried but also upset so I got out of bed looking around the house for him I picked up his note and read it

I love you , MJ
