Intoxicated || An Eminem Fanfiction

Chapter 22

Leila POV

I sat at my desk, trying to focus on my work as I typed up a dossier.

I had slept like shit lately.

I'm interrupted by my door flying open and Marc walking in with coffees.

"Hey Beautiful..." He said placing mine down in front of me "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just tired, why?"

"It's just that you're not wearing makeup..., and you're in a Tupac t-shirt and jeans, not exactly your usual get up, actually come to think of it unless there are meetings, you've been pretty casual and relaxed"

"I just said I'm tired, I slept through my Alarm today and had a document deadline and didn't have time to do my make up, is there a problem?"

"Whoa, whoa, I'm not coming for you Leila, I love you casual, you're a queen" Marc said with a frown sitting down across from me "But you gonna tell me what's up with you?"

"Like I said, I'm just tired" I snapped.

"Okay, I get it, sorry I asked, anyway, wanna brief me on the new target?"

I nodded sliding the folder across from him "A narcissistic piece of shit, fuckin' all over Detroit, his wife knows but needs solid evidence"

He nodded with a sigh picking up the folder towards himself, and starts to read.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap"

Marshall POV

"My house" by Flo Rida boomed over the speakers as people stood around chatting and catching up.

I stood looking around the room at Denaun's, Stella laughing as he told one of his corner jokes.

I had bought her to the party with me to introduce her to some of my closest friends, we had been dating for a few weeks now and things were going great.

Like really great, I don't think I've ever even been in a relationship this easy before.

It was fun, peaceful and I was happy.

There was no heartache at every turn, I'd never imagined life could be like those, but here I am.

I mean shit, I'm even enjoying this party.

"She's cool" I hear Alecs thick Detroit drawl come from next to me "Good girl next door, would never have seen it coming"

I turn to him giving him a side glance as he smirked at me.

"Yeah she's great man, it's what I needed"

"Calm, not chaotic, I'm happy for you, really"

I look at him as he shrugged.

I always felt a weird vibe come from him, like I almost knew him.

"You sure we never met before?"

He shrugged nonchalantly "In passing maybe, I've run with Trick and his boys since I was 16..."

Weird.

"Hey" Monica said coming up hugging me, then turning to Alec "Alec! Good to see you, how have you been? Wheres Leila?"
