'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 52

Almost three weeks after interacting with Marshall at Nancy's and Phillips wedding it became more and more clear to me that I have caught feelings for him again, the feelings I tried so hard to fight off, the feelings I thought were never gonna come back but they crept up on me when I wasn't looking and now I miss him. I haven't heard from him in three weeks which is a good thing because it helped me sort my feelings out, I feel bad for being distant towards Cole but I'll feel worse when I end things with him because Cole is a good guy, he was always there for me and he made me so happy, so to end things with him for someone else just seems harsh.

I'm back in Detroit to get some work done, well, I don't have too much work to do, I just wanted to get away from LA for the week. Kristy has finally calmed down but I didn't tell her I'm breaking up with Cole because then she would bite my head off and I won't be hearing the end of it, she'll just constantly remind me what a wonderful guy Cole was to me and how I fell right back in love with some jerk. I'm not looking forward to breaking up with him when I get back to LA and I'm definitely not looking forward to telling Kristy when I actually break up with him.

I sit in the game room beside the window with my cup of coffee, staring at the skyscrapers. Today is sunny like a summer's day even though we are in the first week of December, I expected it to be snowing by now but it isn't. I can't believe how quickly 2000 is coming to an end, I'm happy with how this year treated me, and now I'm ready for 2001 and I'm hoping I'll have a good year. I hear the door open and I look over to see Marshall "Oh, I thought this room is empty" Marshall says nervously "I'll leave" Marshall makes an attempt to leave "No stay" I smile at him "You sure?" He asks me "Yeah I don't mind, it was getting kinda lonely after some time" I chuckle, he closes the door and sits by me "How long you been here?" He asks me "Over twenty minutes" I take a sip of my coffee "Did you just get in work?" I ask him "Yeah, I came here with Deshaun since my car is basically fucked up" Marshall chuckles

"Oh, what happened to it?" I ask him "The engine has a problem so I took it to the dealership and they said I should be able to drive my car again in a week" I hate when it's awkward between us, it's like we have nothing to say to each other and now we are fishing for a conversation "What are you working on today?" I ask him "I'm working on Devils Night, it's a D12 album" Marshall says "It's gonna be dope" Marshall smirks at me "Oh I know it will be" I smirk back at him "You wanna help me with the album?" Marshall asks me "Sure, what do you need help with?" I ask him "All I need you to do is listen to the tracks with your pretty ears that I'm gonna record and tell me your honest opinion" Marshall smiles at me "I did not expect that" I nervously chuckle "What?" He asks me confused "Wanting my opinion, last time I gave my opinion you were not very nice about it" Marshall laughs "You told me a deaf person can put together a better beat" I laugh after him "I was kidding" Marshall still laughs "You hurt my feelings and that was the last one I had" Marshall smirks at me

"Oh you have feelings" I tease him "Gee I never knew that, I just assumed you were cold-hearted" Marshall comes a little closer to me "Look whose being a smart mouth" He is so close to me and is now smirking "You love my mouth" I smirk at him "I know what your mouth is good for" He runs his thumb on my bottom lip slowly and all of a sudden we are making out like two teenagers, he grabs the coffee from my hand and places it on the window sill without breaking the kiss. He pushes me down on the sofa and I pull off his t-shirt, he traces his lips down to my neck and starts biting on my skin. I wrap my legs around his waist. He takes off my crop top and bra and tosses them on the floor, Marshall begins to kiss my chest and my breathing becomes heavier, I feel his lips on my breast and I arch my back, I close my eyes tightly as he kisses my breasts, he works his way down to the waistline of my jeans and places a gentle kiss on my abdominal region.

We are both butt naked and he is thrusting in me so hard I can feel him in my guts, I'm so glad Marshalls friends are blasting loud hip-hop music in the next room because we are both really loud, especially me, I haven't had sex in almost a month so this is seriously the best sex I've had so far. Marshall pulls out and sits down on the sofa waiting for me to get on him, I sit on him with both my legs on either side of him and I start to ride. He places his hands on my waist and gives it a squeeze, I feel his nails dug into my skin as I ride him faster, he throws his head back and lets out a cuss word "Fuck" He moans, he sounds so sexy which turns me on even more. He begins to hold me down tightly and smirks at me as he starts moving me on him "Oh god" This feels perfect, I shut my eyes and moan loudly.

We finish up having sex and I quickly put my clothes on "I needed that" I tell him "You're welcome" Marshall smirks at me "I haven't had sex in almost a month" I giggle "Was it good?" He asks me since I haven't done it in a while "Best I've had" I smirk at him and give him a kiss "Have you seen Amanda?" I hear Cole outside the room we are in, what the hell is he doing here? Me and Marshall pull away from the kiss "What is he doing here?" Marshall whispers to me "I have no clue, I thought he was in LA" I whisper to him "Yeah, she's inside the game room" I hear Deshaun tell Cole "Oh god, he's coming" I panic "Hide" I whisper yell at Marshall, I quickly walk to the door and open it "Woah" Cole takes a step back, he nearly opened the door "What are you doing here?" I ask him as I step outside the game room and close the door "I wanted to surprise you" I look at him confused as I stand away from the door "Surprise me?" I ask him confused.

The door to the game room opens up and Marshall steps out, Cole glares at him "You were in there with him? Alone?" Cole raises his brow "Yeah we-" I interrupt Marshall "We were talking about his upcoming album and started playing Pacman" I smile at Cole and Marshall glares at me "Anyway I don't care" Cole shakes his head "Amanda" Cole smiles at me and gets down on one knee "What are you doing?" My eyes widen and so does Marshalls  "Amanda, you make me the happiest man on earth, I love you more than I ever thought I could, and even though you slept with that" Cole eyes Marshall and Marshall glares at him "I have a fucking name, you punk" Marshall raises his voice at him, I see Deshaun and Denaun step outside the recording studio and immediately their eyes widen "Shut the fuck up, I'm proposing here" Cole glares at him. They are like children, I swear to God "And even though you slept with that, I can't picture my life without you"

He pulls out this black velvet box "So would you do me the honor of being my wife?" He asks me as he now opens the box and this beautiful diamond ring pops out. I'm so taken back, I did not see this coming at all "Cole" I'm loss for words "I" I look at Marshall and he walks away "I can't, I can't do this" I look around in panic and I see Marshalls eyes on me, he looks shocked, I think he expected me to accept the proposal. I run away "Amanda" I hear Cole yell behind me, I don't turn my head around to see the disappointment and heartbreak on Coles face and to see the smirk on Marshalls face, I just keep running and find a room.

I turn on the light and lock the door, I'm inside a trophy room, I see all the plaques mounted to the wall and I see a case full of awards. I always wanted to get married to Cole, I thought about what our marriage would look like, and I thought about the kids I wanted to have with him but since Marshall warped his way back into my life, I haven't been thinking clearly. I hated him, I hated him so much I was willing to pretend he doesn't exist but after everything got good between us, I had caught feelings.

My thoughts get interrupted by the sound of the door opening "What happened back there?" Cole asks me "I don't know, I- I just didn't see this coming" I tell Cole "Was it too soon? Are you not ready for marriage?" Cole asks me "I'm not ready for marriage and I also wasn't expecting you to propose to me in front of my friends" I raise my voice "Marshall is your friend?" Cole raises his voice at me "Yes, and as much as you hate it, you're gonna have to accept that" I raise my voice at him "I accepted you letting him defile you but I'm not gonna accept him to be your fucking friend" Cole yells at me "You don't get to tell me who I should or should not be my friend with" I yell "You slept with that motherfucker, how the fuck do you thing that makes me feel?" Cole asks me yelling "And how do you think it makes me feel when you humiliated me in front of my friends?" I ask him "Well if you weren't dancing on the fucking bar like a slut with that whore then I wouldn't have had to embarrass you" Cole yells at me "You accepted a lap dance from a stripper" I glare at him

"We weren't talking about that" Cole glares at me "What the fuck was the real reason you didn't accept my proposal?" Cole asks me "I wasn't ready" I yell at him "Ahh bullshit, for as long as I have known you all you have talked about is getting married and having kids so don't fucking lie to me, bitch" Cole yells at me even louder "What is the real reason you didn't accept my proposal?" He asks me again only this time he grabs my shoulders and slams me against the wall, I catch my breath "Well?" He screams at me, I hear the door burst open "Get the fuck off her" Marshall practically throws Cole off me and Deshaun grabs my arm "Come on" He pulls me away, I see Marshall throw a few punches at Coles face "Never lay your dirty fucking hands on her" Marshall yells at him "You're really pussy whipped" Cole laughs and gets up from the floor "We're done" Cole glares at me as Deshaun holds me in his embrace. I never knew how crazy Cole was til now.
