Michael's POV
Noticing the sudden change in Whitney's tone, I knew something had to be up.
Concerned, I asked her, "Hey, Whitney? Is everything okay?
Turning back to me, Whitney asked, "Hm? Oh yeah, everything's fine Mike. Why do you ask?"
I explained, "Well, I couldn't help but notice that you looked a little bothered when I mentioned Bobby. Is everything alright between you two?"
Whitney shook her head and responded casually,
"Yeah! Of course, everything's fine between us. Why wouldn't they be."
But I saw straight through her happy facade.
She can't be going through the same thing I went through with Lisa, can she? And I admit, I have been hearing rumors in the media lately about Bobby cheating on Whitney. But knowing the media, I couldn't determine whether or not it was true. However, just seeing Whitney's reaction when I mentioned Bobby, I knew right away there had to be some truth to it.
In realization, I said, "He's been cheating on you... Hasn't he?"
With a look of shock on her face, she tried to deny,
"What?! I-I never said that! I mean, what makes you think h-he's cheating on me? B-Because he's not!"
I knew right away that Whitney was lying to me. I know this because whenever she tells a lie, she always stutters and turns away from me.
Bringing my hand underneath her chin, I turned her head to face me and said in a serious tone,
"Whitney, you know you can tell me anything. You are my friend, and I love you and care about you. And if there's something going on that's hurting you, then I want to help you. Now tell me, yes or no, is Bobby cheating on you?"
Looking into my eyes, Whitney answered, "Yes."
With my eyes widening in shock, I exclaimed, "Unbelievable! When did this happen?"
She answered, "It was three nights ago. I caught him having sex with two other women in our bedroom."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing! That sorry son of a bitch had the nerve to cheat on Whitney, and in their matrimonial bed?! God! if he was here right now, I would moonwalk all over his ass!
Whitney stood up from the sofa and went on to say as tears filled her eyes,
"I don't know what to do with him anymore, Michael! He's done this to me three times already! I swear, if we didn't have a daughter together, I would've left him months ago. I... I just don't know how much more of this I can take!"
Standing up from the sofa, I took her in my arms and held her as she began to cry. I swear, it's people like Bobby who give us men a bad name! He has a beautiful queen like Whitney, and he goes and cheats on her with other women? Without any regard for his wife and child? He's an absolute disgrace for a man!
I said as I continued rubbing her back and hair,
"It's alright, Whitney... Shh, it's okay. You don't have to take this shit from Bobby. That guy is a deadbeat for not realizing how lucky he is to have you... You deserve so much better than him."
Whitney looked up at me as tears continued to fall down her face,
"But what about my daughter? I can't raise Bobbi Kristina by myself, especially without her father."
I replied, "What? You don't need him to raise your daughter! Whitney, you are one of the strongest women I know. In fact, that is one of things that I love so much about you."
She looked up at me and asked with a sniffle, "Really?"
I answered as I helped wipe her tears away,
"Yeah! And that is something I know your daughter will look up to and aspire to be. When she finds out that her father cheats on her mother, she'll probably grow up resenting him for it and probably think that it's something that all normal men do. And it's not. Whitney, Bobbi Kristina deserves better too. You both do."
With a sad smile, Whitney asked, "How did we end up here?"
Confused, I asked, "What do you mean?"
Whitney explained, "How did we get into all of this mess? I remember when we were together, and it was all so good. It was never ever this bad... You know, I just don't get it? Why did we break up in the first place?"
Thinking about it for a moment, I responded,
"Now that I think about it, I really don't even know why. We had it so good! Even when I was with Lisa, she never made me feel nearly as loved as you did. In fact, no other woman has ever made me feel this way nor do I think anyone will ever again."
Curious, Whitney asked, "What are you saying, Michael?"
With a heavy sigh, I confessed,
"After all of this time, I was never able to get over you. Whether I am alone at Neverland or in another country with some girl, I always manage to find you traveling back into my mind. And even after you went and married that fool and gave him a child, I still hoped and prayed that somehow or some way, you would find your way back to me. The truth is Whitney, I... I never stopped loving you."
Whitney's POV
Did I just hear what I think I heard? Michael still loves me?! Child! You don't know how happy that makes me feel. I have to admit, even when I was with Bobby, that deadbeat never loved me nearly the way Michael did when we were together. Even at nights when I was alone, I often thought about Michael and wondered what our lives would've been like if we stayed together.
Looking into his eyes, I said as I placed a loving hand onto his cheek,
"And I've never stopped loving you, Michael... You know, even when I was with Bobby, I still dreamt about what our lives would've been like if we stayed together."
With a warm smile on his face, Michael said placing a hand onto my own cheek,
"Well, girl... Let's stop dreaming and let's start living."
And with that, Michael brought his lips to mine and we wrapped our arms around each other as we shared a long, loving, and eternal kiss. Ooh child! I feel just like Cinderella when she found her Prince Charming. Let me tell you, Michael is definitely a great kisser! I haven't felt this much love in a long time, and being in Michael's arms right now makes me feel like I'm on top of the world.
Breaking our kiss, Michael said as he looked into my eyes, full of love and lust,
"Why don't we take this upstairs."
I looked at him with the same amount of love and lust,
"Boy! You have just read my mind!"
Before I knew it, Michael swept me off my feet and we both laughed as Michael carried me upstairs to give me some good love!
Once we gave it good to each other, we held each other close and fell asleep in each other's arms. That night, Michael and I both agreed that our hearts would belong to each other forever.
