Through The Storm (Eminem Fan Fiction)

Rainy Days

Val POV

I barely slept the previous night because writing about that experience with Jarred had made me anxious and shaky. Reliving every detail of that day in my memories was sickening. I try my hardest not to think about those times, but I know it's important to acknowledge the pain if I ever want to move forward with my life. I need changes in a major way.

I finally just got out of bed around 6AM after lying awake for over an hour. It wasn't even light out yet and drizzle pinged against the windows. I peeked in the bedroom that my little girls shared, and they were both still sound asleep.

I tiptoed out to the kitchen which was only a few feet away, so I was careful to stay quiet. After eating a bowl of cereal, I shuffled back into my bedroom to put on my fuzzy robe and place my phone in my pocket when I noticed a new text.

Marshall: Ima call you later tonight beautiful. I'm thinkin bout chu!

I smiled to myself and text him back.

Val: I can't wait!

I second guessed it immediately, but just dropped my phone into my big robe pocket and went along with my day cuddling on the couch for a while listening to the rain. I wondered what he was doing right now as I read his text again and smiled to myself.  

I made the girls a nice breakfast of pancakes, bacon, and orange juice when they got up just an hour or two later. Bella is still so little that she sits in her highchair while Cassaundra and I feed her. The moments I spend like these with my daughters are precious to me and I'm so grateful we're free now.

The rain didn't last for long and the sun came out in the afternoon, so I took the girls to the park for a long while. We stopped for ice cream on the way home and popped in a movie. Bedtime was easy that night. Both girls fell asleep in their jammies on the couch, and I carried them one after the other into their bedroom to tuck them in. 

 I could finally be the mother I always wanted to be.

I almost forgot about Marshall supposedly calling me later. I started with my nightly routine and had freshly stepped out of the shower to pull my pajamas on when my phone rang from my bedroom. I rushed in to answer, so it wouldn't wake the kids. My walls are thin, and the apartment is very small to begin with. I grabbed the phone quickly and glanced at the number for a moment before automatically hitting "accept". I thought it was probably just Sierra, or maybe even Kim. But it wasn't either of them.

"Hi! How are you?" I answered in an entirely too eager and enthusiastic fashion.

I could have kicked myself for how I answered the call.

"Hey, Val. I'm sorry, I was going to call you last night, but I was working longer than I had anticipated and I'm on a trip right now, so I'm not even in the same time zone."

I loved listening to his deep voice, and I really hoped that all of that was true.

I spoke quietly, "Well, I'm glad you did."

"I'm glad I did too."

Marshall POV

"Well, I'm glad you did." Valentina's voice was low and mellow. And sexy!

"I'm glad I did too."

Val laughed a little when I said that, and I was happy to make her smile. I felt like a giddy middle schooler calling my crush to ask if she liked me. Talking to Val again made me get half a chub and I absentmindedly palmed my cock over my joggers.

I had been shooting a video with Ed Sheeran all weekend and working crazy ass hours. There was a six-hour time zone difference between Val and me right now so anytime I got a free moment seemed to be when I knew she was sleeping, at work, or taking care of her kids. I had to set an alarm for the middle of the night so I could wake up when it was nine at night in Detroit just to call this girl. She didn't know that part though.

I talked to Laney yesterday while I had some down time at the video shoot, and I asked her if she knew Valentina well. She told me that she's only met her a couple times over at Kim's, then started making fun of me for having a crush.

"What are you doing tonight?" I asked gently.

"I just put the girls to bed and right now I'm just laying here on the couch for a little before bed. I have work tomorrow morning."

I imagined her laying there sprawled out on the couch with all that hair framing her face. I loved listening to her voice.

"So, you always have your kids? I wanna take you out when I get back. Where's their father?"

"Um, I think he's in Florida somewhere." Was her brief answer.

"And you don't have family around to help you? Their grandparents?" I pried.

"No. No, we're all alone." Was her brief answer.

"It's fucked up that your ex just bounced and moved to Florida. He needs to come back and see his daughters." I was irritated.

"No, it's fine with me!" Her voice for once became forceful. "And it's fine with the girls. They're afraid of him. I was surprised that Cassaundra didn't cower from you the other night because she's scared of men."

I now felt a sense of sadness for Val, "Scared of men?"

"Yeah. It's why I visit the women's center." She paused for a moment then explained, "They help me with a lot of different things."

I wanted to know so much more but felt like it was too soon.

I tried to turn the conversation back to a good mood, so I asked her a bit about her job. Valentina had a lot of funny stories about the kids she works with. She also told me about how much she loves working with children, and she can see the progress in their learning every day. I found her interesting. I could have talked to Val for hours just to listen to her voice.

"Ouch! Shit!"

That was the first time I'd ever heard the girl curse and it sounded like she dropped the phone or something.

"Val? You aight? Valentina?"

"I just shocked the heck out of my ear! I put my earbuds in, and I had just gotten out of the shower when you called-"

Why'd she have to mention she just got out of the shower? My hand went to stroking my cock over my joggers again.

She continued rambling, "And my hair is still dripping wet because I just got majorly zapped! Have you ever done that?"

I couldn't help letting out a big belly laugh, "Yeah, I wear my earbuds in the shower all the time. I also play with the toaster in my bathtub." I answered sarcastically.

Val let out the biggest, most gorgeous giggle I had heard from her yet.

My dick twitched and I found myself smiling into the phone, "Girl, you is something else."

We talked for over an hour before Val told me she had to go to bed, and I let her know I would call again when I got a chance. I hung up and imagined her sexy body lying in bed. I gripped my dick in my hand and started stroking while I thought about her thighs, her stomach, her hair, hearing her cute giggle, and her luscious smile. When I started fantasizing about Val's chestnut eyes staring at me and her full lips wrapped around my cock, I about flooded the carpet of my hotel room.
