Melody Of Love

Did You Mean It?

Rose POV

Magical!! God gifted talent!! Whenever Kate talked about Michael’s performance, I never paid attention to her and thought she was just being a typical Michael Osburne fan. But sitting here and watching my husband performing live, I now understand what she was saying all this time.

Michael gave so much to his performance. He is mesmerizing, and no one could take their eyes off him. Hearing him sing live is simply amazing. It was quite a performance with lots of dancing. The song was about changing ourselves and trying to spread love to everyone. The message in the song brought tears to my eyes, and I looked around to find almost everyone in the same position.

I was sitting in the front row, and all the people around me are very famous singers and actors. Yet Michael managed to move them to tears. That’s when I understood the influence he had on people. He was pure magic as he danced across the stage. This guy on the stage right now, he’s like the celebrity of celebrities.

In the end, everyone gave him a standing ovation for his electrifying performance. He slowly bowed his head thanking everyone for appreciating him. Michael was nominated for four awards tonight, and he won all four of them.

Michael motioned something to the host, and she handed him the mic. He thanked her before interacting with his fans.

“Hello everyone.” He didn’t even say anything, and his fans were shouting and screaming.

“I have an important announcement to make. I’ve always said that you, my fans, are a part of me. You are not just fans, you are my family. You should know how much you mean to me and how much I love you.”

[We love you too Michael] His fans were screaming at the back.

He smiled listening to them. “I love you more.” He responded before continuing with his announcement.

“You are the ones who buy my albums, listen to my songs, come to my concerts, follow me, and support me. You are the ones who travel around the world, hoping to meet me, somehow, someday. You are the ones who stand outside my hotels, wait on the streets, and hold up candle lights. You guys always loved me unconditionally, and I’ll forever be grateful for it.” At this point, the fans were shouting at the top of their voices. Michael stopped for a moment and listened to his fans. The smile he had on his face showed how much he loved them.

“I always said this and I’ll say it forever- I owe my everything to you, my fans. I love you people so much. And this is the reason I try my best to never let anything come between us. Whenever I had something important going on, I made sure I delivered the message myself to you people. And today I have a very important thing to share with you. With my family. I have someone to introduce.”

He winked to his fans before looking at me from the stage.

“Rose, can you come onto the stage?”

What!? I didn’t know what to do. This is- I cant. I mean- Oh my God! What is he doing? Before I could understand what just happened or what I should do next, Michael started getting off the stage moving towards me. I slowly stood from my seat by the time he came to me. He held my hand in his before taking me onto the stage. The people who were screaming without a care in the world until a moment ago are sitting in dead silence. Great, I’m not the only one confused as f**k.

I’m scared shitless. And the only thing I was thinking at that moment was ‘God! Don’t let me fall.’ I didn’t know there were so many people in the auditorium until I came and stood here, on the stage. I can feel my palms sweating and my heart trying to jump out of my chest. I held onto Michael’s arm, not liking being the center of attraction. He looked at me before giving a smile which said ‘Don’t worry, I’m here’

“This is Rose, my wife.” Silence. Dead silence. Everyone is looking like they're seeing a ghost. “We’ve been married for over two months now, and I love her with every fiber in my body.”

What did he say? Did I hear it correctly? I was as shocked as the audience.

“She came into my life when I needed her the most. She’s the light of my life. We’ve been dating secretly for a year and a half. She is the most important person in my life, and I want my fans to support us.” The fans started clapping and shouting, making me release a breath in relief, which I didn’t know I was holding.

But before I could relax my nerves, Michael got on to his knees and held my hand. ‘Oh my God! He’s proposing.’ I heard someone from the crowd shouting.

“You helped me when I was at my worst, you're my lifesaver. I’m myself when I’m with you. I don’t have to worry about anything when you're by my side. You bring out the best of me because you are made that way, my soulmate. You're like an Angel. From you, I’ve learned how to dream and what it is like to have a loving partner who supports your dreams. I vow to help you in your dreams and create a home as your friend, your husband. I can't believe that I’m lucky enough to have you as my wife. Everything in my life led me to you. Now, when thinking back on all my choices, I consider even the bad ones blessed, because if I had done one thing differently, I might have never met you. Technically speaking, if I hadn’t come to visit the orphanage that day, we might’ve never met.” The crowd starts laughing and gushing while I try my best to hide the tears that are threatening to fall.

“Today I’d like to admit that I love all of you, even your faults and flaws. You are everything to me, my friend, my wife. We’ve spent one year eight months together, and I look forward to spending my life with you and starting a family. I love you.”

By the time he finished speaking, I was a crying mess. Tears are flowing freely out of my eyes, and on my cheeks. He starts to stand, and I pulled him by his neck.

“I love you. I love you so much.” I whispered, and within seconds his arms wrapped around my body as I wrapped my arms around his neck, causing the people to cheer and clap. As we both pull away, I realize that our lips are inches apart, and my eyes meet him to find him looking at my lips.

I cupped his face pulled him down to meet my lips. My eyes remained closed as my lips moved in sync with his lips. His hands moved to grip my waist, pulling me into him. The kiss was slow and passionate enough to show my love for him. I broke the kiss, our lips inches apart as I slowly open my eyes. My heart beats faster as his black eyes meet mine, leaving me completely breathless. Just as he was about to lean in for more, the crowd started to hoot and clap, which made me pull away from him.

Everyone in the audience was standing and clapping for us. Michael thanked them for their love, and we got off the stage.

Once the ceremony ended, everyone came to congratulate Michael and me. His hands were touching me all the time. He either held my hand in his or he had his hand on my waist. By the time we thanked everyone for their wishes and came outside, the reporters asked us for photos.

I was smiling at the cameras while Michael leaned and whispered “I love you. Did you mean it?”. His voice was husky and it was like a d**g to me. I was on cloud nine. I knew what he meant by that question.
