Life Goes On

"Wake up bitch"
"Helloooo"

My body wakes up to Deja hollering at me to wake up.

"What? Can I please sleep" I groan.

"No cause I heard you are gonna get freaky with Marshall tonight" she teasingly says.

"Huh? All he did was ask me to hang with him tonight" I say as get out of my bed to go to use the bathroom.

"Girl you better go get your chance now that he is not with his crazy ex bitch" she says.

"I don't even know if I will go cause I haven't heard from him since like Monday" I say while brushing my teeth.

"Girl you know he has a few jobs and can't talk much" Deja says to me bluntly.

"I know but I feel like he's not even trying like I know he likes me or at least I think" I say wiping the toothpaste foam off my mouth.

"Yeah well I'll talk to Proof and get the details about all that so I'll see you late—"

The phone ringing interrupts our conversation. We both stare at each other knowing who exactly it is calling.

"Bitch answer that damn phone" Deja excitedly screams.

"Bitch be quiet I am" I laugh.

"Hello" I say into the phone while cringing at myself.
"Hey so you still on for tonight?" I hear Marshall say through the phone.

Deja jumping up and down and mouthing "yes, say yes" to me.
"Ye-Yeah I'm down" I saying looking at Deja.
"Cool so I'll see you tonight at the shop" I can hear his smirk through the phone.
"Yeah... so are you picking me up or am I just meeting you there" I ask.
"I can pick you up" he says and I know he's smirking.
"Ok great pick me up at 10" I saying biting my nails.
"Ight I'll see you later baby" he says before hanging up.

"Yesss bitch get some" Deja screams. "We have to pick you out a sexy ass outfit!" She says excitedly.

"Hold on, we're just going to the shop I can't be to sexy" I tell her.

It's around 9 pm so I start to get ready. I decide on a white v-cut sweater, blue jeans, and some black leather knee-high heeled boots. I put my wavy hair down and put on some natural looking makeup. As I'm putting my coat on I hear a knock at my apartment door. I quickly answer it and see Marshall, he looks so hot. He's wearing a black hoodie, some baggy jeans, and a backwards white hat. We stare at each other before any of us say anything.

"Wow Rachel you look beautiful" he says starring at my curvy physic.

"You look good also" I say trying not to blush.

"Hey I was wondering if you wanted to skip the shop and maybe we can just hang tonight" he says seeming nervous.

"Uh yeah that actually sounds great" I say with a smile.

Marshall and I get into his car and he turns on the radio playing some rap music. We begin to just drive around the D to sight see. Seeing all the old and abandoned buildings that once had a purpose.

"So Deja was telling me that your really good at rapping" I saying looking at him.

"I mean yeah I like to think that I'm good... my goal is to make it as a rapper" he says nervously looking at the road.

"I think that's cool and I'm sure you'll make it as long as you want it enough" I encourage him.

"Wow I've never heard anyone say that except Proof, not even my mom or ex" he says trying to hide his sad expression. The car goes silent for the moment.

"So what is your plan for your future" Marshall glances at me. I pause thinking about my answer.

" I don't really know honestly, I don't have the money for college. Me and Deja plan on sharing an apartment together until she finally realizes she wants to move in with Proof" I say emotionless.

"Do you want a family in the future?" He asks.

"I think I do. I mean if I find someone who loves me and is loyal I would totally want to have kids with them, do you have want a family?" I ask cautiously.

"Yeah I definitely want a wife and a kid if I get into a relationship that goes that far, but it's been hard to trust women after my ex cheated on me" he says with a mix of sadness and anger.

"That's sucks to hear, my ex boyfriend was sleeping with one of my old friends, so I can relate to that" I tell him.

Marshall pulls into a parking lot and parks. He looks at me in the eye and says "Rachel I really like you and that's all I've been able to think about since we met" he sincerely says to me.

"Marshall... I like you too" I say looking into his eyes. Marshall leans in and places his lips on mine. I have been waiting for this moment. I feel sparks as I kiss him. This feels incredibly right...
