I'm Not Letting Go~~Chapter 17
Thank you guys for stickin' with me. The new chemo drug has been a real *bleep* to bear. Anyhow, onto chapter 17 for ya. " Okay," The DJ said," anyone else? We've had some incredible performances and surprises tonight--" I stood up and both Michael and Barry looked at me," Angel?" Michael said. " I'll be right back," I said leaning over to kiss his cheek. " She's a great girl, my friend. " Barr told him. " She is. And we're officially engaged." he said happily. " That's wonderful, Michael," he smiled," You deserve to be as happy as you seem so be, you know that? When's the big day?" " We haven't decided yet, but it'll be soon. Barry, I--" he began and suddenly stopped speaking as music began and both men looked up at the stage, seeing me standing there. " What is she doing?" Michael asked with a little smile. " Ok, Swan Songers, we have this lovely lady now, what's your name again, beautiful?" " Just call me angel." I answered. " Okay gang, Angel is gonna dazzle us again just like she did with Barry Gibb. Give some love to Angel." Maybe due to Barry's sake, or his tips or just wanting to make Michael happy, but I stood there on the little stage and waited for the music to begin--"Magic Man" by Heart. It seems my nerves vanished and when the song ended Michael and Barry were on their feet cheering for me. Michael's smile was ear to ear. " How about Angel, gang?" the dj said smiing, and as still the applause and cheers continued, the dj covered the mic and spoke to me," That was great, Angel. This is coming to a quick close tonight. Want to sing something else while you're already up here?" " Um, yeah, okay." I answered and told him my choice--one Michael loved called " Smile ", ironically written by the comic, Charlie Chaplin. As I began, I looked at my Michael and tears filled both our eyes and a little smile formed across his lips. Part way through the song, he got up and began to sing harmony, even before reaching the stage. When he did reach the stage, his gentle hand clasped mine and I could see how happy and and at peace he truly was. " That's the time you must keep on trying---" I sang. " Smile, what's the use in cryin'," Michael sang back. " You'll see that life is still worthwhile," We sang in unison. " If you'll---" I sang. " If you'll---Just smileeeeeee." he finished the song and we received our cheers and applause with Barry leading the crowd. Michael wrapped his arms around me tightly and he whispered," I am so very proud of you and I love you so much." " I love you too." I told him then he looked into my eyes and began to kiss me there on the stage in front of everyone. I remembered seeing him kissing Lisa Marie Presley on the MTV stage and how cold and unfeeling and stiff it seemed. This was NOT that type of kiss at all as his lips feasted on min and his arms made certain to mold my body against his. " How about Odie and Angel." The dj smiled and we slowly stopped our kissing and walked hand in hand back to our seats with Barry waiting for us. " I dunno which was better, you two, the song or the kiss.' Barry smiled. Michael held my chair for me and I sat down then he saw beside me, still lacing our fingers together," Isn't she something, Barry?" " Absolutely, she is. Course, I knew that many years ago, mate.. You're just catching up." " And so concludes tonights Michael Jackson theme karaoke, our dedication and tribute to the undisputed King of Pop. Wouldn't you say so, Mr. Gibb?" " Absolutely so." Barry answered from where he sat. " And we have winners. 3rd place goes to Sam, 2nd place to Bryant and 1st place can only go to one person, Odie! C'mon up Odie and get your trophy and your check for $100." Michael walked up to the stage and the dj handed him both things then Michael spoke," Thank you, I appreciate it, but I'd rather the money go to someone else. Can you give it to charity? " We sure can," he said," Our pet cause here is hugs not drugs." " That's perfect.' he said to him. " Great Odie, we'll donate that in your name." " Wonderful, thank you." " Would you do us the honor of one more Michael Jackson son before you go tonight? " Uh, well--" People were blurting out song titles and Michael couldn't help but laugh as they did. He settled on Dancing Machine, so he could dance a little too. Everyone was clapping along and loving his performance and he clearly was having a wonderful time. Barry scooted his chair closer to mine and spoke, " He's really amazing isn't he?" " He is." " You know," he whispered," Michael's life is going to be insane when he goes home. If you need anything or a place to go, you call me, okay? There's a hospital very close to my home in Key Biscayne and you'd still be able to get your treatments without a break. I just want you to know you'll always be welcome. It's going to be pure insanity there for a while in LA, but you have a place to run if need be, okay, love?" " Thank you, Barry. I appreciate it." When Michael finished he came back to the table and sat down beside me. Barry smiled," you know, you do move rather well for a dead guy." he said quietly. " Maybe so, but it's exhausting!" Michael wolfed down his coke and I slid mine in front of him. " Take this and I'll go get you another one. Barry, another sake?" " Uh, sure love, just one more. Thank you." " Be right back." I said and kissed Michael's cheek and headed away to get our drinks. " She's a beautiful girl, Michael," Barry told him quietly, I can see a big change in her though in through her eyes from when I first met her. It's awful to see what cancer does to people." "It is. It's so hard to see her spirit get crushed so many times. I've never been in love before, y'know Barry. I don't want to lose her. I don't know what I'd do if I lost her." " Just keep praying my friend. Love and prayer can accomplish so much." he said to to him. Barry, Michael and I spent another hour talking then Michael slipped his arm around me and spoke," Barry, I think we're gonna have to call this a night. Leslie needs some rest--" " Michael, I'm fine--" I said quickly. " I see it on your pretty face, Angel," he told me," So your lips can say whatever, but I see the exhaustion." " I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night." I said looking into Michael's eyes and trying my hardest not to grin. Michael started to say something, then quickly stopped, closed his mouth and looked down with a little grin he couldn't completely hide. Barry's eyes watched us and I could tell he KNEW why Michael and I hadn't slept much and his charming smile gave away his delight in knowing how happy and in love Michael finally was. In love and finally feeling safe enough to "make love" to a woman. He knew how big that was for Michael. " Well my friends, I shall bid you both adieu and thank you for a lovely evening." We all stood up together and Barry hugged me and kissed my cheek," Thank you for the song, you were wonderful and you," He hugged Michael," Congratulations, my friend. Worth the wait?" he whispered. " I'll say." he answered with a little blush. Barry walked away smiling and Michael and I sat back down together, picking up my hands in his, tugging at them a little as he smiled bashfully," How come you didn't get much sleep last night, Angel?" " Oh I dunno," I answered him," I answered him and nudged him with my shoulder, playfully. " Funny," he said," I didn't get much sleep last night myself." " Yeah? Hmm?" I smiled and kissed his cheek then his ear and whispered," I wonder if our beautiful love making could have anything to do with it." Michael took a trembling breath and our eyes looked at each other's. I wasn't certain that saying the words 'love making' while out in public was a good idea when we were in public or not, knowing sometimes how hard it was for Michael to keep composed. I got my answer when he drew his hands to his lips, kissed it gently, then pressed it to his lap, making sure to still cover my hand with his as he made sure I could 'feel' what my words had done to him. " I'm sure of it, Leslie." he answered looking into my eyes. " Oh Michael." I whispered softly as we sat even closer. " See what you do to me." he breathed. " I love you." I said softly. " I love you, so much." He said," But if I don't move this, we'll never be safe to walk outta here.' he said with a little grin and moved his hand, still holding it, but not on his excitement. He was right. We would never get outta there that way.
