Your relationship with Michael had it’s own stages but you never thought or spoken about letting everyone know.
Whenever you thought about it from his perspective, it’s like he didn’t mind. And for you, you liked the private but not secret vibe. Which is why it was never an issue for the world to know, at the same time it wasn’t a necessity.
Just a few nights ago, you flew in to USA to support him as his matches are starting to become more and more competitive and it’s a rare important event in his career. So you adjusted your schedule to offer him all the support he needs.
You knew he always posts after a match with the special photography that has been everyone’s talk lately but you never thought that you’d make it to one of the photos. However the photographer was a close friend so he knew that Michael had a girl and he once introduced you but nothing more.
Fast forward, you went to the match, cheered on him while you kept your composure, took pics of him, you and your friends and no one recognized you.
That is until Michael posted, without your knowledge, slide 3, you standing, wearing his number and name, widely smiling, eyes full of joy, phone in hand and your gaze towards the pitch where Michael stood after his assist.
And for the first time, michael wrote a caption, “A special one this time” ,no emojis, no tags, no name, nothing, a pretty normal post.
By an hour, the photo was trending on every platform, some comments of “I saw her”, “I felt he was looking at her”, “what if she’s just a fan”, “he can do way better”, “Michael hard launching?”, “oh yeah he’s gone” ,”have you seen the way he looks at her?”, “y’all hating but they actually look cute and inlove, i mean look at the looks on their faces”, and so on.
Michael never read comments, you scrolled through them as you laid your head against his shoulder, his arm enveloping your shoulders while he scrolled on his phone.
“What are you reading?” He asked, a small smile tugged at his lips.
“Just the comments on your post. Where I was unknowingly posted to millions of people” you answered your face towards him.
“Yeah kind of on purpose, I felt like they should know the woman I have “ He explained.
“Why now?” You questioned.
“Because I couldn’t keep it to myself, honestly I’m too proud” He said looking down as he fidgets with your hand.
“You’re too proud to be with me?” You asked confused
“Yeah honestly I feel like you’re the perfect woman, especially that my mom said that too” He confessed.
“Aww baby that’s to sweet” you left your phone to hug him.
“I love you Y/n” he whispered.
“I love you too Michael” you replied as both smiled against eachother’s lips, slowly connecting them right after as his hands roamed around your waist.
