'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 53

It's been a slow few days since Cole and I broke up, when I get back to LA I have to collect my stuff from Coles place, I left a few things there. Marshall has been checking up on me non-stop, he's been calling me up, inviting me out with him to cheer me up, allowing me to listen to his newest songs he's recorded for his new upcoming before he puts it out. Shanice invited me to brunch yesterday and we spent the whole day hanging out, we got our nails done and we brought new clothes.

Now I'm getting ready to go on a night out, I invited Shanice but she canceled on me 10 minutes ago since Naomi caught a stomach bug and is feeling so bad. I'm in my room, getting ready for the night. I'm wearing a white turtleneck sleeveless crop top, black high-waisted skinny jeans with black stilettoes, and a black leather jacket. I have done my makeup and sprit perfume on myself. I grab my purse from my bedroom and leave my apartment, I get in my car and drive off to the nightclub where I was supposed to meet up with Shanice.

I enter the nightclub and squeeze through the crowd to the bar, I sit down on the barstool and the bartender approaches me "What can I get for you?" He flashes me a sweet smile "A cocktail" I tell him "Coming right up" He yells since the music is loud. He passes me my cocktail, I eat the olive in a seductive way to catch the bartender's attention, he smirks at me as he serves a customer. As I take a sip of my cocktail, I scan the room and see this guy who is smiling at me walking over to me "Amanda" He sits down next to me "Who are you? and how do you know my name?" I ask him, I'm so confused by this man because I don't think I have ever seen him in my life but he knows me "Amanda, it's me Clive" His smile gets bigger "Clive Lyon, we went to high school together" I glare at him "Clive, why the hell are you talking to me?" I ask him remembering him.

He bullied Marshall in high school and helped Taylor dump red punch on me at her party "Because I owe you a long overdue apology, I'm really sorry for what I did to you at Taylor's party, I was a stupid teenager and Taylor would get in my head constantly" He tells me "How?" I ask him "She would make me feel special, tell me how great I am, she would sleep with me as well and I'm ashamed to say I fell in love with her" I nearly choke on my drink "You fell in love with that bitch?" I ask him in disbelief and he nods "Yeah" Clive sighs "Thanks for the apology but you also own Marshall an apology for what you did" I glare at him "Believe me I have tried to apologize to him but he won't talk to me" Clive tells me "I can see why, you totally humiliated him in front of everyone in the cafeteria" Clive glares at me "It wasn't just me, Amanda, it was Issac and Anna and that bitch Taylor" He's right "You're right" I nod

"What have you been up to all these years?" He asks me as he orders himself a glass of Jack Daniels "Well I moved to LA for college and majored in music and business, now I'm a booking agent for Eminem" I tell him "What about you?" I ask him "I'm a lawyer, I have won already three cases" I smile at him "That is amazing, I'm happy for you" He smiles at me "Thank you, I'm happy for you too" Clive has changed a lot, he is no longer the typical looking bad boy, he looks really sophisticated and handsome "Are you seeing anyone? I know it's a weird question" Clive chuckles "I just got out of a relationship a couple days ago" I tell him "What about you?" I ask him "Nahh, being a lawyer kills your dating life" He laughs "You wanna dance?" He asks me as he gets up "Yeah" I nod

Clive takes my hand and guides me to the dance floor, he pulls me into him and we start to dance. I'm having a lot of fun dancing with him, he places his hands on my hips as he dances. Clive leans into my ear "You're a good dancer" I close my eyes at the sound of his voice, he really made sure to sound seductive "You are too" I open my eyes and see Marshall glaring at me as he chills with D12 in the VIP lounge. A few minutes later, Marshall approaches me "We are going home" Marshall takes my hand "Marshall" Clive says "I just wanna-" Clive gets cut off by Marshall "Fuck off, Clive" Marshall glares at Clive and looks back at me as I begin to resist "Don't fight me on this, lets go" Marshall gives me a death glare and proceeds to yet again drag me away from Clive.

We exit the club and get in his car "I'm sorry I had to do that" Marshall apologizes "I just couldn't stand to see you talk to that motherfucker" Marshall continues "Whatever" I glare at him "Whatever? He humiliated us in front of everyone and all you have to say is 'whatever'" He looks at me like I have lost it "He apologized something that you haven't learned to master yet" I glare at him as he drives "I apologized for dragging you out of the club, what else do you want?" Marshall yells "What else, Amanda?" Marshall screams "For the way you treated me, for how you spoke to me even after we got good" I yell at him "Clive never did what you did to me, at least then he left me alone but you, you are a different story" Marshall looks over at me and I can see the guilt in his eyes but he quickly turns away and focuses on the road.

We are at his house and he gets out the car, why are we at his house? "Woah, hold up" I get out of the car and catch up to him "Why are we at your house?" Marshall pulls out his keys "Because I'm tired" Marshall keeps it short "And your place is far" He tells me as he opens the door "It's not that far" I tell Marshall as I enter his house "Then walk" He turns around and takes off his hoodie and t-shirt "My feet hurts" I tell him as I take off my heels and walk over to him.

He doesn't move a single muscle as I place both my hands on his arms, Marshall gives me an intense look as I move my hands to his chest softly and he closes his eyes. You can cut the tension between us like a knife, I trail my hands up to his collarbone and place my hands around his neck. We both start having an intense makeout session, his hands trail up to my hair and pulls it, I let out a soft moan "Wait" We pull away from the kiss and look at Marshall confused, he takes a step back "Amanda" Marshall takes a seat on the steps "I'm so sorry for everything I've done and said to you" I take a seat next to him "I was just so angry at you for so many years it didn't occur to me that your dad was the reason you left" He looks over at me "And I should have understood you wanted to protect your sister because I would have done the same for my brother" Marshall continues "Will you ever forgive me?" He asks me "Of course I forgive you" I smile at him and he gives me a massive hug "I never stopped loving you, Amanda" I gently push him away from the hug "Marshall, I'm not ready to say the L word" I tell him "Yeah I understand" He kisses my cheek "Take your time, yeah" Marshall smiles at me.
