'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 26

The hardest part about traveling for work, either for a long time or a short time is saying your goodbyes to your friends and family. Kristy is leaving Detroit today and flying back to Los Angeles, I see Kristy walk out to the living room fully dressed and packed up "Wow, didn't expect you to be ready this quick" I chuckle "Thought I'd have to tell you to hurry up" Kristy smiles at me "Well I'd do anything to get out of this state and get back home" Kristy says "We have some time to spare, how about we grab coffee at Starbucks?" I ask her "I wish I could but I don't want to" Kristy shakes her head "Come on Kristy, you won't come back here anymore, I don't get why you have to be such a downer" I roll my eyes

"It's because I'm sick of this place, I'm sick of Marshall, I'm sick of everything here and I'm sick of you" I look at her confused "Sick of me? Why?" I ask her "Because you have to fly out here every few weeks for a couple of days to work with someone I despise" Kristy says angrily "This is my job, Kristy" I shake my head "You can get a new job" She suggests "No because I enjoy working with Dre and I can't do that to Nancy, she helped me land this job" I tell her "Oh sure, put Nancy's needs ahead of mine, why should you care about how I feel" She scoffs "I got this job for you so I can provide for you so don't you dare say I put anyone elses needs ahead of yours because when I'm out there taking Marshall's shit, working long hours I'm doing it for you" I glare at her "I'm leaving" I see her grab her passport from the coffee table "I'm coming with you" I get up from the sofa "No, you're not, I'll be okay on my own and right now I can't stand to see you" Kristy leaves the house with a door slam.

I look out the window and see her get in the taxi, this girl is unbelievable. She not only looks like our mother but she acts like Sylvia, both hard-headed, stubborn, and spoilt. Meanwhile, I'm like my father, I don't look much like him but I do have his strength, stamina, and quick thinking. Tomorrow is gonna be strange to work with Marshall in his studio, instead of helping I'll ask Dre if I can book him to more venues for both his upcoming tours. I need to do something that's gonna require me to work from home since our situation isn't getting any better, I feel like it's getting worse because now Marshall is trying to be civil since we work together and I'm pushing him away.

Understand where I'm coming from, I do want us to be civil and I know Marshall doesn't go around doing something like this when he hates someone but lets talk about all the stuff he said and done to me. It's not easy getting over stuff like this because of what I had gone through, Marshall treats me so badly even when I'm minding my own business. I can't tell him why I left because that will open up a can of worms that I do not want to crack open, I know as soon as I tell him he'll be even more pissed at me because Marshall had always said he'd protect Kristy and I, and I know he would have but I had to think about her, I had to think about her safety because if we had stayed in Michigan with Marshall we wouldn't be safe, my dad would have found us eventually

My phone buzzes on the coffee table and I smile when I see the Caller ID, I pick up my phone and answer the call "Hey baby" I sit on the sofa "Hey how's it going?" Cole asks me, I hear paper shuffling and the printer beeping "I'm good, should we talk later, sounds like you're busy" I say as I sit down "Nah I'm not busy, I have time for my girl" I blush when he says that "Did you have fun at Naomi's birthday?" He asks me "I did up until the point where I was pushed in the pool by Marshall" I tell him "Why did he push you?" Cole asks me sounding angry "Because I refused to tell Kristy to stop giving him death glares and Marshall said he would so I tried to stop and he accidentally pushed me in the pool" I explain "I'm gonna fuck him up" He sounds so angry "Baby don't" I get cut off "Don't? He disrespected my girl so yes I'm gonna fuck him up when I come to Detroit" My eyes widen "You're coming to Detroit?" I ask him.

I hope he does come to Detroit, it'll be so much fun "Yes baby, I'm coming on Wednesday, I wanted it to be a surprise but after hearing what Eminem fucking did to you I blurted it out" Cole says, I can still hear the rage in his voice, I need to change the subject "We are gonna have so much fun when you get to Detroit, I'm gonna show you around my favorite places" I giggle "You already know my favorite place is the bedroom" He says seductively "I know that very well" I smirk, I hear his boss yell "Sorry baby, I have to go, I have a meeting to attend" Cole apologizes "I understand, I'll talk to you tonight if you are not too tired" I suggest "We'll talk tonight, bye, I love you" I smile when he says he loves me "I love you too" Cole hangs up the phone and I smile like a teenager with a schoolgirl crush. I can't wait for him to visit me in Detroit.

Sorry for the short chapter guys :(
