Intoxicated || An Eminem Fanfiction

Chapter 48

Leila POV

I sat watching a movie on my couch, it had been a busy week so I was taking time to myself.

Besides that, my head was a little bit of a mess.

Marshall and I had been out a few times now, which were fun, the affection was there, but it was different.

The confusing part was they were very casual, and even though they felt like dates I don't think that was his intention.

And I was getting frustrated.

He has arranged for us to go out again this weekend.

However, I couldn't be sure if it was my lack of actual dating experience getting the better of me.

I was interrupted out of my thoughts by the sound of my front door opening and closing, followed by Alec and Monica stepping into my lounge room.

"Lala, what are you doing home?"

"I live here remember? What are you doing here?"

He laughed, falling on the sofa next to where Monica sat.

"He means to say he thought you'd be out with Marshall"

"No, he had dinner with his daughters and Kim tonight" I said with a shrug.

"You didn't get invited?" Alec squinted at me "What? Y'all aren't that serious? Y'all be fucking each other's shit up for months, surely that counts enough to be serious?"

"Yes, but we've only been out officially 3 times, I don't even know what we're doin'"

"What do you mean?" Monica asked, slapping her hand over Alec's mouth before he asked anything else "I thought you were going on dates?"

"I don't think they're dates, they're very casual, like more like things friends would do"

"I'm confused" Monica frowned "Do you guys, you know, kiss?"

Alec snorted, and I shot him a glare.

"Of course we do, I don't know what to think, I mean I haven't ever been serious with someone nor have I exclusively dated as an adult, I'm frustrated because I don't know what the fuck is going on"

"I'm sure you're just reading it wrong..." Monica said, a hopeful smile sitting on her red lips, she glanced at Alec "What do you think? And don't be an asshole"

"I'm not an asshole" Alec sniffed, as if he was offended by the very statement and looked at me "I thought he was into you"

"That's it?" Monica frowned at him "That's all the reassurance you have?"

"What do you want me to do Monica? Lie and blow smoke up her ass? What the fuck"

"You could at least help make her feel better, you spend time with him in the studio, don't you? Haven't you ever spoken about it?"

"Are we talking about the same fuckin' man? You know him Mon, he's like a fucking vault, talking about his feelings about Lala is the last thing he's gonna do, especially to me, all we've established is that I am going to break his face if he hurts her"

Monica huffed at him and he rolls his eyes at her, before turning to me "Look Lala, this is all new to you, just go with the flow, I'm sure his intentions are good, if they turn out to be otherwise, Trick and myself will make his life hell, I promise you"

I don't think he was being completely serious but I have seen him rough people up before on my behalf.

The target that tried to assault me still wasn't walking.
