25...Thomas
~Michael's POV~
I wake up to Jada's alarm playing a Whitney Houston song. I shut it off and kiss Jada softly on the lips.
"Mmmm" she hums and smiles as she opens her eyes.
"Hey, fiancée! Rise and shine! We have to go to school. Wouldn't wanna be late for the last day!" I say, tickling her and making her laugh hysterically.
"Michael! Stop it! Haha! Stop!" She says between giggles and laughs.
"Ok. Ok. I stopped." I put my hands up in surrender and crawl out of bed, butt naked.
"Thanks for last night. And I don't just mean the love making. I mean the engagement too. It was beautiful, Michael! I just LOVE the ring!" She says, staring at the ring.
"Well I hope you love me more than the ring" I joke and she shakes her head laughing.
"Of course I do!" She giggles.
-At School-
I sigh as we walk through the halls of our high school.
I can't believe it's the last day already!
I have a lot going through my mind right now. Like; my career, the wedding, the baby, where we're gonna live, Jada's education. Lots of stuff. Another thing is, I keep wondering who those guys Jada mentioned to Taylor last night, Brad and Thomas, are.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Jada calling my name.
"Michael! What in the world are you thinking about?" She giggles.
"Oh, um. I was just wondering. Who are those guys, um, Brad and Thomas?" I ask and she sighs.
"Um. Thomas is my ex boyfriend who left me for Taylor and Brad was my big crush in grade 8. Why? She frowns.
"I was just wondering. It's been on my mind" I shrug and she nods.
"Ah."
We keep walking down the hall and walk over to our lockers, where Nicki and Charlie are standing.
"Hey!" They both say.
"Hi" we both say back. Wow, we are saying a lot of the same things at the same time!
"Excited for the mall?" I ask.
"Yes!" Charlie says excitedly and winks at me.
"Jada?" I hear an unfamiliar voice shout so I turn around.
Jada and Nicki look down the hall and gasp.
There's a guy with brownish hair and brown eyes, running towards us from down the hall.
"Thomas?" I hear Jada whisper under her breath.
So this is Thomas, huh?
"Hey, J! Oh, hey Nicki. Hey Charlie! How are you guys?" He smiles as he approaches us.
"Pretty good" Charlie answers. "What are you doing here, Thomas?"
"Actually, I'm here for Jada. She didn't return my call last night so, I decide to come see her in person! Jada, I really want you back. I'm sorry I ever left you! I was stupid!" 'Thomas' says then, looks over at me. "Who's this?"
"Um, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, this is Michael Jackson. He's my fiancé and the father of my unborn child." Jada says and Thomas' face drops.
"Hi, Michael. You're a very lucky man," he says, shaking my hand. "Jada, I didn't know you were engaged!"
"Actually, just got engaged last night. Aaaannnd I'm almost 4 months pregnant!" Jada smiles and looks at me lovingly.
"You're pregnant?!" He shouts.
Did this dude not here her say, earlier when she introduced me, that I'm the father of her unborn child?!
"Yes, she is. And I'm the father." I speak up and he looks at me with tears in his eyes.
"Oh. That's nice. Well, I'm sorry I bothered you, J. I was just hoping that we could work things out but looks like we can't. I'll see ya 'round" he says sadly in his accent, turning to walk away.
"No! Thomas, you don't have to leave. You can hang with us. We're going to the mall, anyway. Would you like to come?" Jada asks and he grins.
"Sure!" He nods.
'Are you kidding me?!' I yell inside my head.
-At The Mall-
~Jada's POV~
We're all walking around the mall together, eating ice cream. Nicki and I had a craving so, we stopped for it.
Michael has been quiet the whole time. I hope he's okay with this and not jealous or anything.
"So then, he jumps up onto the couch and just sits there like nothing happened!" Thomas finishes telling us a story about his mother's puppy and we all laugh.
I look at Charlie and he gives me the sign that it's time for him to propose to Nicki.
"Hey, let's go over to all those seats over there!" I say, pointing to a bunch of seats.
We walk over there and Nicki's the only one that sits down.
Charlie stands in front of her and gets down on one knee.
She gasps and covers her mouth with her hands.
"Nicki, I am truly sorry for breaking up with you a couple weeks ago. I was stupid and I didn't know what to do. I do truly love you, Nicki, with all my heart. I mean it. Will you marry me?" He asks.
"Yes." She nods with tears streaming down her face as he slips the ring onto her finger and we all clap.
"Did you all know about this?" Nicki asks.
"Yes" I giggle.
"I didn't" Thomas says, raising his hand and we all chuckle.
~Michael's POV~
I smile at Nicki and Charlie as they share a kiss.
I look at Thomas as he talks to my fiancée.
He actually isn't a bad guy. I shouldn't have judged him and automatically hated him because he went out with J! I could actually see him and I being friends.
"Yo, Michael! Wanna come over to my place to watch the game while Jada's out with Taylor?" Thomas says and he rolls his eyes at the mention of Taylor's name.
"Yeah, sure. If I'm not busy with my album" I nod.
"Oh! That's where I know your name from! You're that dude that released that single last week or a few weeks ago! Congratulations, dude!" He says, shaking my hand.
"Thanks," I smile, modestly. "That's nice of you to say!"
"No prob, man." He smiles back at me.
I look at Jada and she's beaming again.
I walk over to her and she pulls me into a passionate kiss.
"I need you right now, Michael" she whispers into my ear.
"Really? We're at the mall!" I whisper back.
"So?" She asks.
"Ok, fine! Um, everyone! We'll be right back! We're just gonna go talk!" I say and everyone nods as we walk away.
~Nicki's POV~
They're probably not going to talk. I bet it's Jada!
"Pregnant women and their hormones!" Charlie snickers and I glare at him.
"Hey! Shut up!" I punch him playfully. "But it's true. Even when she's not pregnant, they do that too much!" I snicker and Thomas looks at us confused.
"What are you guys talking about?" He asks.
"Y'know, sex? They most likely aren't going to just talk. Did you see how J pulled him into that kiss and then they started whispering? Plus, even when Jada's not pregnant, they do it a lot!" I chuckle and Thomas scrunched his nose.
"Let's not talk about my ex girlfriend that way. I don't feel comfortable about it." He squirms in his seat.
"So, Thomas, why are you coming back for Jada out of the blue?" I ask.
"Well, I was thinking about her recently and I realized that I'm still in love with her. But looks like I'm waaaay too late." He chuckles.
"Oh. Did you ever think of doing that with me?" I ask, chuckling.
"Wait, what?!" Charlie asks.
"Oh, Nicki and I dated a little bit, back in grade 9. It was only for about 2 months." Thomas says.
"I didn't know this!" Charlie shouts and I shush him.
"Calm down!" I say.
I look over to the cleaning supply closet not far from here and see Jada, walking out adjusting her top, and Michael walking out behind her, adjusting his. I point at them, chuckling and Thomas and Charlie look over.
They approach us and I burst out laughing.
"You guys are sick!" Charlie shouts, laughing hysterically.
"What? We were just talking!" Jada argues.
"Yeah, okay! That's why you had to adjust your top!" I chuckle.
"I always do that!" She says.
"Oh ok. Well, Michael, how come your pants are unzipped even though, they were zipped when you guys went in there, hmmm?" I ask and everyone looks at Michael's pants.
"Really, Michael?! You couldn't just zip up your pants?! Ugh! This is soooo embarrassing! Not only are we in front of my best friends but also my ex!" Jada explodes at Michael.
"I'm sorry, okay? It was a mistake!" Michael sighs and turns around to zip his pants.
"I'm sorry, Thomas." Jada says.
"Oh...no. It's okay. I understand. I mean, you guys are engaged and are gonna have a baby together soon so of course you're gonna do that stuff. It's awkward, yes, but it's normal." Thomas says, putting on a fake smile for Jada.
"Baby, please don't be mad at me!" Michael whines, running after Jada as she walks towards Pita Pit and Charlie walks into a store.
Thomas sighs and I turn my attention back to him.
"Are you okay, Thomas?" I ask, sitting beside him.
"Yeah" he sighs.
"Come on, you can tell me. I see the pain in your eyes when you look at Jada and Michael or when we mention one of them." I say, nudging him to tell me.
"Fine," he sighs. "It's just that it kills me when I see how happy she is with him. I wanna be the one who makes her happy. I wanna be the one she's marrying and having a child with. I wanna be the one to hold her when she's feeling down or to just simply hold her. I wanna be the one she wakes up next to each morning. I just-I don't know."
"I know how you feel, Thomas. I've been there. You just need to accept that she's happy with Michael and you need to move on and find your soulmate." I say while rubbing his back and he sighs.
"I guess you're right. Thank you, Nicki." He says then kisses my cheek.
We stare into each other's eyes and start to lean in.
Our lips connect and our tongues dance with each other.
We pull back and I jump off the bench, my hands covering my mouth.
"Oh my god, Nicki. I'm so sorry. I was just caught up in the moment. I swear! Please, forgive me? Can we still hang out?" Thomas say, panicking and I shake my head.
"No, Thomas. I'm sorry. We can't see each other. Obviously, there's still feelings between us and I can't be around you if there is. I'm pregnant and engaged to someone I love wholeheartedly. I need to stay away from you. I'm so sorry it has to be this way." I say bursting into tears and running off.
"No! Wait!" He shouts.
~Thomas's POV~
"No! Wait!" I shout but she keeps running. "I love you" I whisper.
I think I love her. I don't know. I have this feeling for both, Jada AND Nicki. Ugh! What am I gonna do?!
