Hello all, I first posted this story on FB in 2010, then on the now defunct Michael Joseph Jackson Board in 2011. It was here on the MJFiction Board for a year or two but I deleted it... I am, however, re-posting it here.

I wrote up to 80 chapters and I haven't written anymore until I wrote the 'closure' chapter a few months ago. I sincerely hope you enjoy this story.

This tale is about a round-the-way girl whose life instantly changes the moment she encounters the King of Pop. It's set in the Thriller/Victory era in 1984. 

I love Michael Jackson, I love New York City and I love the 80s (the decade of my youth) and I tried to incorporate all of that into this story.

And by all means, please rate and leave a comment if you wish. Thank you!

From the hustle and bustle of New York to the relatively laid-back atmosphere of California, Tanisha returns to The Golden State, her career in journalism taking a turn for the better. But a chance encounter with an old friend sweeps her back in time - back when she was with him - the fancy-free music superstar with magic feet and an enchanting melody. Things ended so sourly with them a few years ago that she swore she'd never return to the land of palm trees and hopes and dreams. But will her return rekindle what was lost? Or will her return drudge up painful memories, sending her running back to The Big Apple?

Find out in this "will they or won't they" saga!

It's good to love, even if it's risky 

In 1977, Michael Jackson was a young man destined for what he thought was to be a lonely and unhappy existence covered by fame and fortune, until she showed up. Holly Williams captured the world's hearts with her bold voice and soft eyes while she mesmerized Michael day by day. Despite their age and race they became a couple when everyone said it would not work out because of their differences, but Michael and Holly wanted to show the naysayers were wrong - that love has no age limit or skin color. Follow them on a journey that spans decades involving deceit, tragedy, marriage, failure, heartbreak, children, success, happiness, and most importantly love.

Find out what happens when Gabby has an unusual encounter with Michael and he becomes apart of her everyday life.

He continues to stand where he is and speaks in the most angelic voice I've ever heard. "Ma'am are you ok?"

I manage to gather myself over to him, desperately grabbing him by the arms.

"Please sir, can you help me. I need to go to the hospital. "

He stares at me wiith weariness as he stumbles over his words. "Oh, uh...well..."

A prickling pain shoots through my body, causing me to shake with fear. This pain is unbearable, yet in its essence, it's a bitter sweet moment.

I stare at him pleadingly. "Please sir, I'm in labor!"
