'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 18

Nancy came by and picked up Kristy and they both left a little over 20 minutes ago. Now I'm in my room getting ready for date night with Cole and packing up a few outfits for the weekend. Cole said he has planned something special for the weekend so I'm packing up some fancy outfits. I'm wearing a black long sleeve lace bodysuit, leopard print asymmetrical ruffle hem skirt, and black strappy heels. I have my hair curled up and I'm wearing some makeup, I want to look beautiful for Cole.

I check myself out in the mirror before I head to the living room. I walk to the living room and plop down on my sofa, I reach for my phone which is lying face down on my coffee table, and turn it on. I go through my contacts and tap on Cole; I shoot him a text message "Hey baby, how long will you be?" I send it to him. I'm asking because I do not know when he'll pick me up for date night. Two minutes later I get a message alert from Cole "I'm on my way, baby ;)" I smile at his text and blush when he called me baby.

Out of the blue Shanice calls me, I haven't heard from her since I arrived in Los Angeles. I pick up her call "Hey baby girl" Shanice giggles "Hey beautiful, how's it going?" I ask her with a giggle "Great, how's it going?" She asks me "Fine, Cole is gonna pick me up soon for date night and I'll be spending the whole weekend, he says he has something special planned" I smile "Something special, ehh" I can tell she is smirking "You haven't changed" I giggle "And you are still so innocent" She giggles "Anyways, I called to invite you to Naomi's 7th birthday next Saturday" Shanice says "Naomi asked for you" I giggle when she says that "I would love to come" I nod "Wow, I didn't think you'd agree I thought I'd have to convince your stubborn ass" I can tell Shanice is shocked by the tone in her voice "She is my niece, I love her so much, of course I'll be there for her birthday" I smile

"You don't mind Marshall being there right?" She asks me "He is gonna be there?" My eyes widen "Yes he is, Deshaun invited him, so are you still gonna come?" She asks me "Sure" I say "That doesn't sound convincing" Shanice sounds sort of annoyed "Well I don't know how you want me to respond, Marshall is gonna be there and if you remember we were constantly bickering at each other when I was in Detroit" I tell her "When you get here I'll talk with you both" Shanice suggests "Marshall is stubborn, you really think he is gonna listen to you" I shake my head "Either he listens or his ass is getting kicked out of Naomi's birthday party" Shanice sounds just harsh "That'll work" I nod "And I'm gonna kick you out as well, I don't care how much my daughter loves you, if you and Marshall are having problems you are both getting kicked out" Shanice says angry "I'm usually the nice one" I giggle "I mean it" Shanice says sounding serious

"I understand" I nod "Good, I need to go I'm taking Naomi to the studio to see Deshaun" Shanice says "Give her a kiss for me" I smile "I will, bye" We say our byes and she hangs up. A few seconds later there's a knock on my door and I get up, dust myself down, and walk over to the door. I open the door and I see Cole flashing me a sweet smile as he passes me a bouquet of red roses "Thank you so much" I give him a kiss on the lips "Only the best for my girl" Cole giggles "Let me put the roses away and I'll be out in a second" I tell him "Take your time" Cole stands by the door and I look at him over my shoulders as I'm walking to the kitchen and see his eyes wandering on my body "You can come in" I giggle, he takes a step inside my house with a smile.

I grab a vase and fill it with cold water, I carefully place the roses in the vase. I grab the vase and place it on the center of my coffee table "We can go now" I smile at him. We both get in his car and drive off "Where are we headed to?" I ask him "I'll show you" Cole smiles at me then focuses back on the road. He gets on the highway after half an hour of driving and I'm so confused as to where we are going "I forgot to tell you" I break the silence "Whats up?" He asks me as he is focused on driving "Shanice called me to invite me to Naomi's 7th birthday in Detroit next weekend" I smile at him "I would really love it if you came with me" I see a smile form on his face but quickly fades "I can't baby, I have to work" Cole sighs "I know, I just wish you can take a couple of days off"

We make it to the beach "Why are we at the beach?" I ask him with a big smile on my face "We are gonna have a picnic and watch the stars, hopefully it doesn't rain" Cole laughs "Since when does it ever rain in Los Angeles" I giggle "A guy can dream" Cole dramatically sighs "Try being a girl when it's hot" I shove him "Oh yeah, try being a man working in a stuffy office when it's hot" Cole laughs "Stop complaining you have air conditioning in your office" I point out with attitude "Sometimes it doesn't work" Cole says "That's where getting up and opening the window comes in handy" I giggle "What if the window is jammed?" He asks me raising his brow "Are we really gonna do this all night?" I ask him

"You are so sexy" Cole smirks at me "I know I am" I say cocky "What about me?" Cole asks me with a smirk "You are not so bad" I laugh "So I call you sexy and that's the compliment I get" I bite my bottom lip at his reaction "Yes" I giggle "You deserve to be punished" Cole says it in a husky way, he gets closer to my face and I feel his breath on my lips "You can never punish me" I feel his hand on my thigh "Yeah?" Cole harshly asks as he squeezes my thigh tightly, I wince in pain "You are such a soft lover in bed, I can't take you seriously" I smirk at him "A soft lover huh?" Cole smirks "Ladylike" I rephrase "You are gonna regret you said that to me" Cole still smirks at me "Oooo I'm so scared" I pretend to be scared "Yeah you should be" Cole smirks.

We get out of the car and he pops open the trunk and pulls out the picnic basket and a blanket. We walk to a random spot on the beach and lay the blanket on the sand, I sit down and so does Cole. He opens up the picnic basket and the first thing I grab is the chicken sandwich, I love chicken sandwiches, and it seems to me he made homemade fries and there is also salad. We talk about each other's day, he tells me he dealt with a client going through financial difficulty and I told him I had to book Eminem to more venues for his tour which made Cole very invested in the conversation.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, who the heck could be calling me at this time? "I have to take this" I smile at Cole and get up "Is it work?" He asks me and I check the caller ID, it says Marshall Why is he calling me? "Yes" I nod "I won't be long so continue eating" I answer the call and walk away from Cole "What?" I say annoyed "Always jumping right to the point, ehh" Marshall laughs "Marshall, what do you want?" I ask him yet again annoyed "I want a blowjob from my wife but she ain't home" He sounds drunk and high "Are you high?" I ask him "Naah, I feel like a rainbow, woooooow" Marshall laughs and slurs his words, I hear music blaring through the speakers "I'mma find a room in my house to talk to you" I hear Marshall's heavy footsteps "Why the fuck is there people in my house? Bitch move your fucking ass" I shake my head "That's because you are in a bar" I chuckle "How do you know? Are you following me? You better not be, bitch" Marshall says angrily

"No Marshall, I'm in LA and I'm currently on a date" I tell him and it sounds quiet on the other end of his line "How did you get to LA?" Marshall asks confused "On my broomstick" I laugh "HA, I always knew you were a witch" Marshall screams. My god. I hear him groan and I hear the toilet flush "Ewww" He just took a shit on the phone with me "What?" He asks laughing "You took a shit while talking to me" I shake my head "Where the fuck are you?" Marshall yells "You are in my house, aren't you?" Marshall yells "No I'm n-" I get cut off "LIAR" Marshall yells "I'm going crazy, the floor is wobbly, my walls are talking to me and my ceiling looks like it's gonna fall on my fucking head" Marshall sounds worried "Marshall, go home" I tell him "I AM FUCKING HOME" He yells

"I'm gonna say bye to you now" I say and I'm just about to hang up the phone "NOOO, please don't go, I have nobody" Marshall sounds vulnerable "Where are your friends?" I ask him "Dead" Marshall laughs "I'm being serious" I shake my head "My house ate them all up" Marshall sounds scared "My house is gonna eat me too HELLLLPPP" I bite my bottom lip to keep myself from laughing "Bye Marshall" I try to hang up "WAIIITT" I hear him yell "Oh my god what?" I ask him "If you see Kimmy pie can you tell her Marshallmallow is horny?" I take myself to the temple and shake my head "pleaassseeee?" Marshall sounds like a little baby "Bye Marshall" I hang up the phone. This kid is so fucking weird.

I walk back to Cole and sit down "So what's going on?" Cole asks me "That was Eminem on the phone, he just called me up to ask me about how booking him into venues is going, I told him it's fine and that I'm almost done" Cole nods and doesn't say anything "Is something wrong?" I ask him "He has your phone number and you are calling him by his actual name" Cole says "I don't know how he could have gotten my phone number but I call him Marshall because that's who he is" I explain to him "I don't wanna talk about this" I give him a corner smile. The rest of the night goes by amazing, I love going on dates with him, I love calling him mine.
