FOR ALL TIME

26. 2.O

"Yes," Jasmine said in a small voice and huge smile as the audience 'awed' and laughed.

"Wow I'm shocked. That's so special. You didn't want to wait until marriage?"

"Well, of course but...it just didn't work out that way," Jasmine said laughing. "But I know he's the right one for me. And I know we were meant for each other and we're going to spend the rest of our lives together so...I have no regrets."

"Do you think Michael is your soulmate?"

"If there is such a thing then yes, definitely. He's perfect to me."

"Really? Perfect is a really strong word."

"I know but I don't care. If there's also such a thing as perfection, that's what he is in my eyes."

"Wow, that's wonderful."

"Yes, and I don't care who thinks otherwise."

"Now, I know I'm the only one who thinks this, but you and Michael seem to be total opposites sometimes."

"I don't think so," Jasmine said shaking her head smiling.

"Well sometimes. You're nowhere near shy like he is. You're very outgoing and you're not afraid to speak your mind and tell like it is."

"Yeah, I was raised that way but Michael isn't afraid to stand up for himself either. I just think he chooses not to a lot of times. He doesn't like confrontation so he tries to avoid it."

"Well I think it's a good thing he has you in his life because you can kind of be that voice for him now."

"Oh yes. I don't play when it comes to my baby."

The audience clapped with laughter.

"If you have a problem with him, then you have a problem with me. I'm not here in his life to walk around and be his trophy wife. I'm his partner."

"You always will be by his side and keep yourself involved," Oprah elaborated.

"Yes. And we have great communication so when I'm down or he's down, it's always addressed, never ignored. We try not to keep anything from each other."

"That's good, that's good."

Later on, in the show, Oprah went to the audience so they could ask Jasmine their questions.

"Has Michael ever written any songs about you that we know of? Like are any songs on the Dangerous album about you?" a lady asked her.

"Well he's written one song for me but it's not on the album. And he's written other songs not really for me I don't think but he said I was the inspiration."

"Which songs?" Oprah asked.

"According to him She Drives Me Wild, Can't Let Her Get Away, Remember the Time, Dangerous, ummm...I don't remember all of them. I think that's all that was on the album."

"No chance you inspired him to write Who is it?" Oprah asked laughing.

"Geez, I hope not. But he did actually say he wrote Give in to Me about me but I still don't know how that's possible."

"Hmm, interesting."

"I know, right?" Jasmine asked laughing.

Another lady asked her, "What about In the Closet? And is that really your voice behind the mystery girl?"

Jasmine giggled. "Yes, I don't know how I could forget that song. And yes, it's my voice, sweetie."

"Wow," Oprah said laughing. "Why weren't you originally credited?"

"We thought it'd be best I wasn't," Jasmine said smiling thinking back to that joyous studio session.

"Do you get jealous of seeing Michael with other woman in his videos like Naomi Campbell and Iman?" a woman asked.

"No. They're all very professional so it doesn't bother me. Plus, I'm always on the set or really close by so..." everyone laughed. "But I trust him! So it's not that big of deal."

"What about all his fans? Like the ones you encounter on the tour?"

Jasmine raised her eyebrows and everyone laughed and she smiled. "Well, most of the time when he traveled, he had me with him and I swear, just walking him from a car to the front door of a building makes me fear for my life and his."

They laughed at her.

"No but really, it's scary but I'm kind of used to it now. I love his fans though and I know it's all coming from a good place within. A good very strong, determined, passionate place," she said laughing. "I just hope they don't hurt him one day."

Oprah decided to let a male ask a question. "Hi, my name is Robert. I'm from New York as well."

"Oh okay, cool," Jasmine said clapping her hands.

"And I just want to say first, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on."

"Awww thank you," Jasmine said.

"She's taken so get to your question," Oprah said with her hand on her hip.

"Well I wanted to know how does Michael feel about and deal with all the men who want you now?"

Jasmine laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "It doesn't bother him. He knows I'm not stupid."

"Because I have your picture hanging up on my bathroom wall and you know..."

The audience gasped and Jasmine had a look of shock on her face before breaking into a small grin.

"Okay, you're done," Oprah said, getting everyone to laugh. "No more questions from my male audience members."

"And now Michael will never let me do a sexy photoshoot ever again," Jasmine said, earning more laughs. 

The rest of the questions weren't as traumatizing but she was very happy when the interview was over. The first thing she did was call Michael and to tell him about it. He seemed to be pleased with what she told him and he couldn't wait for it to air on television.
