End of Innocence: X
End of Innocence X
September 2001
Lexi kissed a drowsy Alannah as Rosa gathered their things to make her way out front and catch a cab for the apartment. Digging through her bag, Lexi found the pass and flashed it quickly at the security guard, but for some reason she felt out of place. Now that Rosa and Alannah had left she was all alone and it felt odd to be around all of the elite guests and New York high society as they gathered to meet with Michael.
She found a quiet place off to the side and was grateful when a server passed by with a tray of champagne; she grabbed two glasses afraid there wouldn’t be another chance with the crowd as thick as it was and proceeded to lose herself in the expensive bubbly. Watching as Michael took picture after picture with celebrity and fan alike, Lexi smiled inwardly hoping that he had finally gotten over the nerves that had plagued him for the last several weeks. He said that he felt better after the first show, but he still wanted to put on a crisper performance for the television special and had hoped to nail it this evening. Having watched him over the years she knew he always expected more but she thought he was fantastic and she couldn’t wait to tell him how fabulous he did.
Eventually Michael’s publicist stepped forward and announced that he had to speak to the press and asked everyone to enjoy themselves at the party but Michael had to leave the building. Knowing that they had a breakfast planned in the morning with the family, Lexi began to make her way through the corridors leading to the exits. She was almost out when she was caught by one of the record company interns.
“Dr. Garcia-Thomas? Excuse me Doctor?”
Turning around she saw a frazzled looking young girl chasing her down the hallway,
“Yes, can I help you?”
“Oh, thank goodness. I have been looking for you since the show ended. I was told you would have a little girl with you.”
“She left already. What seems to be the problem?”
“Doctor, Can you follow me please. A private lounge has been set aside for you.”
“For me?”
“I was asked to please make sure you and your guests were comfortable after the show. Please accept my apology for not having you seated sooner Ma’am.”
“No…no please don’t worry about it, but maybe you should take me there?”
The intern nodded her head and quickly turned and led Lexi through a maze of halls deep within the building. Soon she unlocked a well appointed lounge and excused herself. Pouring another glass of champagne Lexi relaxed on the couch and turned on the television. The late night infomercials were already blaring on about working out on Gazelle’s and the perfect cleaning product for your carpet and laundry. It was all she could do to stay awake but eventually she curled up and fell asleep, with shouts of “The Stain Specialist” still ringing in her ear.
The bodyguards had a hard time keeping up as he hurried to make it to the lounge; he had never expected to be so late. The plan had been to take a few pictures, escort his Mother and Elizabeth to their Limousines and then meet Lexi at the lounge so they could go back to the hotel for a late dinner. Now it was so late even he was ready to forget about everything, and he knew she would be ready to go home. Poking his head in the door he saw that she was resting on the couch. Sneaking in quietly, he stood over her for a moment watching her sleep. Her mini skirt had ridden up over her hips, allowing her g-string to show. Instantly Michael felt the strain against his pants as his eyes followed the curve of her ass down her leg and back again. Compared to the previous year she was so fit, so sexy, so full of life. Even her hair was thick, full and brushed the tops of her shoulders with its length.
Growing hard, he rubbed his hand across his erection and sunk to his knees in front of her. Lexi hadn’t stirred and there was a part of him that almost felt guilty for wanting her body like he did, but he couldn’t resist her. Not when she was lying before him like this…and ultimately he knew she wanted him too.
Gently pressing his lips against her thigh he waited for her to stir but she continued to sleep her breathing deep and steady in spite of his close proximity. Lexi was on her side, and Michael pushed his palm against her knee…opening her up to his hungry lips.
The lace felt soft against his cheek as he pressed his face against her inner thigh. As his arm curled around her leg and pulled the G-string aside, his tongue… soft yet seeking found its prize. His moan was inadvertent as he tasted her, her womanly fragrance graced his lips as she was still unaware of the pleasure he was giving her. Michael’s mind raced with so many thoughts, how good she tasted, how sweet she smelled…how much he loved to wake her from her dreams this way.
Finally, he heard a tiny gasp escape her lips. Then her hips moved against his chin and at last her legs spread and her hands clasped his head close.
“Aye…aye my gawd…Michael.”
Reaching for her G-string, Michael pulled it down her legs and brought her to her feet while he remained on his knees. Standing over him, Lexi rocked back and forth while Michael ran his tongue across her sensitive flesh, finally coming to rest on her swollen bud. She was rigid and wet when Michael pulled it between his lips before flicking lightly with the tip of his tongue. Feeling her legs beginning to buckle with her climax Lexi reached out for his hands, needing his support when she came. As she began to shake and roll Michael drove his tongue deep inside of her over and over, tasting her passion as it passed over his lips with her blissful release.
Unable to let her relax, Michael lowered her to the floor and quickly pushed his white jeans down and off his body. Pushing inside he slipped in easily with her wetness and he couldn’t help but let out a loud grunt. Pressing his lips to hers Lexi could taste her wetness that still rested on his mouth and she pulled him back to her, licking his lips free and kissing him passionately.
“I want you Baby…I want to feel you deep inside me.”
Lexi moaned her desire as Michael’s hips pushed his swollen staff rapidly in her tight walls.
“You’re so hot Lex…damn Babe….”
Michael was up on his hands, his hips swiveling in a figure eight…then reverting to his piston like precision. Stretching, she wrapped her ankles around his neck and arched back, taking the full force of his thrusts.
“Fu….Imma come girl”
Reaching underneath her shoulders Michael pulled downward, thrusting as hard as he could. Over and over…until with one final shudder he sighed and collapsed on top of her. His face on her chest until their breathing returned to normal.
“I’m still dressed Michael.”
“Nuh uh…not really. Not where it mattered.”
“That was fantastic Babe.”
“Yeah…it WAS a pretty good concert. I think I liked Billie Jean best.”
Lexi started laughing and pulled him up for a kiss.
“Yes, Billie Jean was pretty good too. Thank you for letting us come.”
“I think I should be thanking you for letting me come….right?”
“Well, if we get going we can get up early and do this again in the morning and both come..again. Deal?”
“Yeah…deal”
Michael smiled hearing her laughter next to his ear.
“Michael?”
“Yeah?”
“Congratulations”
“On what?”
“The thirty year concerts, I am really proud of you for all that you know.”
“Lexi? I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“That’s crazy.”
“No, I need you. I need you in my life, thanks for being here Lex. I was thinking about how lucky I am to have you healthy and with me right before I woke you up.”
“Yeah, I feel good and I am happy to be here too.”
“I love you Lex”
“I love you too Michael”
They laid in silence for a few more moments before finally dressing and heading their separate ways, Michael to his hotel and Lexi to her apartment, both nervous about the breakfast with his family and introducing Alannah to them for the first time.
______________________
Lexi had just slipped into her pumps and was brushing Alannah’s hair for their breakfast when the News Alert came across the television, there was a terrible fire. Like most of the residents of the city she ran onto the balcony and watched in horror as the second plane slammed into the tower. Then like most American’s she knew that life had changed…forever.
The phone rang almost immediately,
“Pack your things, we are leaving on the bus…all of us.”
“Um..yeah. Ok. I will be there in a minute.”
“Lexi, are you OK?”
“I…Michael..I um..I ,yes. It’s bad.”
“I know, we have to get out of here, hurry.”
“Yeah…ok.”
“Lex…LEX!”
“What?”
“Don’t mess around, just get here. I love you girl.”
“Love you too.”
Slamming the phone down, Lexi called out to Alannah,
“Babygirl, you wanna go on the bus with Poppa?”
Alannah came running into the room, unaware of the chaos unfolding around her,
“Are Prince and Paris going?”
“Yes, of course they are.”
“Yes, Mommy yes!”
“Ok, let’s get a bag.”
Lexi was fast and she packed as much as she could into her bag. Changing out of her dress clothes she put on a pair of jeans and tank, along with her old Timberlands.
Stepping outside the apartment it became surreal. Grateful that she was able to hail a cab she paid him an outrageous tip and held on to Alannah as Fire Company after Fire Company sped by on the way to the towers. Finally they reached the hotel and even Alannah breathed a sigh of relief as they got out of the cab.
As Lexi walked she kept glancing up at the twin fires blazing above the city, she knew with her training how bad the situation was and wanted to make sure the two most precious people in her life were safely away.
The activity around the bus was busy but Michael didn’t seem to mind being outside as he waited for Lexi to arrive. There was one last hold left open waiting for her luggage and he nervously paced back and forth and watched the scene unfold above him.
“Come on Mike, we need to go.” Randy yelled from inside the bus
“Yeah, let’s go.” Jermaine seconded
“You two hush up while your Brother waits on his friends now.”
The soft voice of Katherine scolded her sons and comforted Michael as he saw Lexi finally make the corner of the building.
“Is that all you got?”
Michael asked as Lexi handed the suitcase to the driver.
Ignoring his question Lexi kneeled down and kissed Alannah on the cheek.
“Ok “lannah. Poppa’s gonna take you on his bus for a real ride. Prince, Paris and Miss Grace are on there. Hop on up OK…I love you.”
“I love you too Mommy.”
“Lex?”
Michael watched as Alannah bounded on the bus and sat down by her brother and sister.
“Lexi? What the hell. Dammit….!”
“OK, she has enough clothes there for a couple of weeks and toys too.”
“NO…no no no! Get your ass on the bus right now.”
“So, Um….I will call you as soon as I can.”
Michael grabbed Lexi’s arm as she started to turn and saw the numbers written boldly across her flesh.
“What is this? Alexis! Please tell me that’s not your social security number?”
His grip on her wrist tightened and he pushed her against the bus, hard enough to startle the passengers inside. Jackie stood up and stepped down onto the pavement.
“Let me go Michael, I have to stay. You know I have to help them.”
Alannah had climbed down now and was standing beside Jackie watching her parents….watching as Michael screamed at Lexi.
“You can’t…you can’t do anything. Please, please don’t do this.”
By now they were both in tears, as Michael clutched her to him.
“I have to try, Michael please understand….take care of her. Take care of our baby.”
“No…Lex. Don’t go. Don’t go in there.”
“I love you Michael….”
Lexi pulled his face to hers and gave him a long passionate kiss, wiping away his tears as she parted from him.
“Mommy?”
Lexi could hear Alannah call for her as she walked quickly away and towards the towers.
Now she heard her scream, a high pitched wail that echoed in the walls of the loading dock.
“Mommaaaaaa!!!!!”
Michael lost sight of her as the dust from the collapsing tower enveloped the street, the last image he had was of her trying to make her way through the crowd that was running from the horror as she was heading towards it.
__________________________
Somewhere in New Jersey Alannah fell asleep in her Father’s arms after screaming endlessly for her Mother as she watched the tower fall in front of her eyes.
Michael locked himself and his children in the bedroom for hours as they drove on, wishing the nightmare to go away and praying, praying that she would be alive. Dear God, just be alive.

Oh my Gosh…Im so scared!!! I cant believe this is happening, but she HAS to go, its just like when they first met. She’s always about helping others.
Thank You so much for this chapter, and for working so diligently on this masterpiece. Ur a goddess!!!
NOOOOOOO!!!!!! OmgNOOOO!
i am not functioning this too real omg noooo!!! i cannot say anything else cuz this hurts too much…..
Omg.. I’m so scared. Lexi is so brave and selfless. I hope she’ll be alright. That was such a scary time. Wow..
hope lexi’s gonna be okay. as usual, awesome story <3
Oh my god, no! She has to stay with her family. I hope she makes it back into Michaels arms. Oh the agony of having to wait to see what happens. It’s gonna kill me!!!
Was about to call it a night but, I thought to go online & thx goodness for that.
Wow! Definitely didn’t see that coming! You know I’m NYC & this is still a very sensitive subject but, you handled it delicately, not going for shock value & I appreciate that.
This reminded me of when Lexi was in the hospital saving “Hunter” things for Mike when it was in flames. How she left hearing her daughter’s voice I don’t know but, I guess her true purpose is to save lives.
Great curveball DPYT! I don’t know what’s gonna happen next but, I’m along for the ride. Damn! Now I’m gonna have him in that white suit in my mind till I fall asleep….zzzzzzz 🙂
oh wow, I hope this is the end…the real end to the series. Oh, if it ends with Lexi dying I’m gonna have a fit. A FIT! the last part was so emotional with Michael with the kids and praying that she would just be alive.
Gripping chapter, I could feel the chaos on that day, so natural her instinct to help, the SS# made me choke…oh Lord…
wow , that was impressive …I am not sure I like the idea that she left her child screaming for her , but what can you do , I sure hope she will be ok ….
Cool…
Glad you guys are intrigued by the chapter.
Ty-Ann, I have thought about this one for a long, long while. A dear friend was on the 2nd plane so it is not something I take lightly.
I know that our Lexi could never have left NYC knowing that this was happening, she is a 1st responder and a Doctor. Michael can take care of the baby…she had a job to do, its just who she is.
OMG I told you it would be amazing….
Girl you are a truly spectacular writer… I loved how Michael woke Lexi up, I mean my gosh who wouldnt want to he be woke up by him that way…. And then when she chose to stay behind and help with a the victims of terrible day…. True to herself of always thinking of others.. I could just hear Michael saying to her Please..Please dont so this… And then the sound of Alannah screaming in the arms of her daddy.. WOW.. Very Compelling….
I know you just got this one done.. But I already cant wait for the next one…
OMGGGGGGGGG! I hope makes it. She can’t just leave them like that.
DPYT I am so sorry for your lost & I really appreciate your handling of it here. I didn’t even want to write that I was there that day & you are so right. It was chaos! I was fighting to get home but the police/fireman were fighting even harder to get in those buildings. The ONLY one who could have stopped them from going in was God; they were THAT focused & THAT determined & it was their true purpose. I’ll never forget them.
And yes, mass transit & cabs were traveling downtown until the 1st tower fell! Then they quickly started going uptown to get everyone they could out of the area.
And yes, the Jacksons were there that weekend. I didn’t see the MSG shows (a whole other miserable story I won’t go into) but I saw MJ on TV & he looked SO miserable! I was like this is your moment & you’re so unhappy! I thought maybe he didn’t want to be out w/ old Liz (sorry, but, she is much older & as friendly as they were, you know he wanted a young, sexy girl on his arm) or maybe it was a lupus flare up (which was confirmed that he did have one @ that time) or maybe he couldn’t stand seeing Jermaine again…I don’t know. I’m glad Lexi was waiting to cheer him up cause he definitely need it.
Ty-Ann,
I just want to say that I am so thankful you are safe with us. As much as I have seen and worked though in my life it must pale in comparison to that.
Thank you for understanding that this is not some piece of drama just thrown in to the story for effect. He was there and I am just building around it happening. I could never disrepect the heroes of that day by minimizing how awful it was by a using it casually.
As far as his mood at the concerts, I think he was having his issues with Sony over the promotion of the record. I understand that the lupus was flaring and have heard that he had, had some oral surgery for some type of benign tumor. (That was on twitter/formspring a few weeks ago by someone I follow). That would explain alot I think.
He loved his Liz though, she wouldnt have been there if he didnt want her. She was always his buffer when he needed support between him and someone who had let him down.
Your the best DPYT. I still love my city & I’m never far away from home!
Of all the ridiculous people in MJ’s life I only really liked Liz & his kids. His mom, um,…off & on (sorry!). Yes he loved him some Liz but, you know if he had a sexy girl he actually was in love with…that girl would of been on his arm & Liz would of been sitting w/ Katherine & Joe & Mac LOL.
@ Ty Ann You are right that he’d with his sexy woman showing her off, but more importantly he’d just be with her because he would be HAPPY! That’s what he wanted to be Family Man and I’m sure he wanted a lovely wife to accompany him everywhere. He never got that lucky lady.
But he would have still have Liz because in a lot of ways she was his savior and MJ didn’t forget that kind of loyalty. He cherished her.
I also agree with you only liking Liz and the kids and I died when you said you liked Mother off and on, lol, ME TOO! She was so supportive during the trial, but in other ways I think she could have been more for him. I don’t think he did EVERYTHING she wanted, but I think he did a lot she wanted and some of it prob didn’t help. idk, I’m sometimes 50/50 with her.
I cant believe y’all aint said nothing about the gif at the top of the story! Mike playing his instrument and all. LOL
About to cry, cuz I feel like its lights out for Lex…and along comes Blanket! So sad…but I hope I’m wrong!! I am right???
She’s always so brave. So courageous! So much turmoil in one lifetime.
Oh now I’m really crying!!!! Dang it DPYT-you always pull me in, you’re such an amazing storyteller.
SCREAM!!!! Exit one tiger, foamin at the mouth…
I didnt miss the gif by no means.. LOL… I just got caught up in the rest of the story… The gif is well… Just look it speaks for itself….
You’re torturing me here! I can’t take it! I know Lexi is a healer, but she is giving me a frickin’ heart attack! Sheesh!
My condolences on the loss of your friend, Dangerous. I lost a friend to an act of terrorism in 1988 (Pan Am flight 103). I have empathy for your pain. I’m very sorry.
OMG! Why did she has to stay? Hope she’s OK? Please don’t let anyhting happen to her….Please don’t!
That was terrifying. I understand why Lexi is staying but still though she has a daughter to think of but she is very brave. I just hope she doesn’t put her life at risk.
I am on tenderhooks here until you update again.
I didn’t miss the gif either. It makes me all hot inside.
@Gunngirl: gots to keep it real (although sometimes I keep it real dumb, LOL)!
@Cinbad: {{{HUGS}}}
@DPYT: um, what instrument is that?!…they never talked about that in music class!…actually I think this is um, is technically called, um, the FORCE, ahem…it’s got alot of power. LOL
I learned it after school in Music Appreciation for extra credit at this lead guitar players house. LOL
