This is how Marshall's life should have gone after he became sober!
This story mostly takes place in the 2011 (after Recovery) era. Marshall meets a fellow entertainer and they do not hit it off at first. Eventually, they come back into each other...
"I guess Kim's not my biggest fan." I said once we were driving for a bit.
"I'm sorry honey. She's just jealous." Marshall grabbed my hand and kissed it. "It was hot how you stood up to her though. You're a feisty one."
We both laughed.
"I won't back down. If she keeps it up, I swear, I'm swingin on her." I made it clear.
"I know." Marshall looked over at me as we came to a red light. "You know the shit she says is all lies, right? I ain't fucked that bitch in like 5 years or some shit. That's my word Ray. Ain't no last week, that's bullshit."
"I know. I trust you Marshall."
He leaned over and gave me a deep kiss until the car behind us honked because the light had turned green.
We spent one more wonderful night together in Detroit before I had to fly back to New York on Sunday evening. I had been dreading it all day. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to sleep next to my boyfriend. I wanted to get ready together in the morning and eat dinner together at night. I wanted Marshall to be there and kiss me when I came home and spend time with the kids together. And I did not want him to be in such close proximity to his ex-wife and me be so far away!
I returned home to New York continuing to finish up my album. It was almost complete, just a few last tweaks were needed. Marshall headed off to Europe for ten days, but he called me almost every night to tell me how his show had gone and talk about our days'. On the fourth day that Marshall was gone I was hanging out in the studio with Jessalyn and Queen when I received a suspicious text message from none other than Kim.
K: I know we don't like each other, but this is girl code. I'm not lying!

And there it was! She sent me a pic of Marshall hugged up on Skylar! It looked like it had been taken at his house. I didn't text anything back. I knew Kim was a liar, but you can't argue with that picture.
"Oh my god!" I sat up and studied the picture. "Holy shit!"
"What happened?" Jess asked.
I turned my phone so she could see the text I received. Her eyes widened as she grabbed my phone from me to get a closer look. "Do you mind?" She asked before handing the phone to Queen to get a peak as well. I shook my head "no" as they both stared at the screen.
"It looks innocent enough Ray; I wouldn't worry about it." Jessalyn told me.
Queen nodded. "He talkin to anudda gyal?"
"This picture doesn't lie." I said as I grabbed my phone back and examined it more closely. "He never told me he was working with her again. Why all the secrets?"
"So, what yuh goin to do?" Queen asked.
"Nothing for now. Just play it cool I guess." I answered.
