Something Special

Chapter 2: Day Off

I have a day off before i go to work tomorrow so I slept in this morning, until 11 a.m. because of how late we were partying last night. I decided to go to the park today and just chill. I brought my ipod and my headphones so i can listen to some music while walking.

I get dressed in yoga pants and a fitted cropped shirt, with a light zip-up jacket since it's chilly in Detroit, especially since it's January.

When I get to the park I decide to just sit on a nearby bench and listen to music. I'm in my own world that I lost myself in the music. I was bobbing my head to the beat and looking down at my feet, therefore I didn't notice when someone was next to me until they tapped my shoulder. I jumped in surprise and took my headphones off as I turned to my right to see Marshall sitting there.

"Sorry- i didn't mean to scare you" he said apologizing.

"Nah, it's fine- I just wasn't expecting it." i say. I notice that Marshall has his hood up, shading his face. I guess it's to hide his identity. I forget that he can't go just anywhere he wants because of his fame.

"What are you doing here?" he asks.

"I was just listening to music and chilling, today's my only day off before i have a week straight of working so i thought i'd just chill."

"That's nice," he says. "I was going on a walk with my daughters and when they ran over to the playground over there" he pointed to a playground right next to us. "I decided to sit down and noticed you that you were right there." he says,

"Oh nice, I forgot you had daughters" I say.

"Yep, they're great," he says.

"I bet." i say.

"See that one right there with the green shirt?" he asks and I nod. "That's Alaina. And the one next to her on the swing in purple is Haillie". He says.

I nod and smile once I take a look at them. "They're adorable," I say.

"Yep." he says. "Well I'll let you be. I don't wanna disturb your-" he looks at my ipod screen. "Me?" he says with a chuckle.

I look at my ipod screen and see that "I'm Shady" was playing and I blush and laugh slightly. "Yeah-" I say and chuckle at the irony.

"You got good music taste" he says with a smirk as he get up. "Well, have a nice evening". He says

"You too," I say with a smile. And with that, he walks off. I put my headphones back on and I continue to listen to 'I'm Shady'. I watch a Marshall walks over and calls his daughters, then they walk off hand in hand. It's actually really cute. Who would have known that the cold hearted, slim shady could be so sweet with kids.

I stayed at the park for a couple more hours, walking around, sitting some, taking pictures of certain things in nature. Then I decided to head home because it started to get really chilly.

Once I arrive home I instantly go to take a warm shower, to relieve the cold feeling from my body, and to get the dirt or whatever else got on my today. When I get out I feel fully refreshed and I change into some comfy clothes.

I don't feel like cooking so I ordered some pizza and turned on the celebrity channel. I'm not paying much attention when I hear the name Eminem. I look up in curiosity. The tall blonde woman on screen says; "We have stumbled upon some paparazzi photos from last night in club Bleu! D12 is seen partying and laughing with friends, but it gets better than that. Paparazzi have captured photos of the slim shady rapper flirting with who we have come to the conclusion is a girl named Kari Lake." My eyes widened at my name. Shit.. "Pictures show the two laughing together, and sharing smiles." the woman says. "Is there something going on here? We may never know.. But it seems to be. That a new woman is in the rapper's life." she ends and there is a commercial break. Fuck! Why does the media twist everything like that? We legit were just talking.. This is so fucking frustrating. I'm so frustrated that i just turn the TV off and decide to text Marshall.

You: Hey, have you been up to date with the celebrity channel?

Marshall: No, but I was just notified of what they were saying by Deshaun. It's crazy how the tabloids make up shit.

You: i know right, it's fucking annoying.

Marshall: don't worry, it'll be fine. I bet people will forget about it within the next few days.

You: I hope so. Well, I hope you have a nice rest of your evening.

Marshall: Thanks, same to you.

You, Thanks, Gn

Marshall: Gn

I put my phone down to clean up the kitchen. I put the leftover pizza in a zip-lock bag then put it in the fridge. I throw away the box then I head upstairs. I lay down on the bed and just lay there thinking for a while before I finally drift off to sleep.
