We went across the street for ourselves, Proof had gone home so me and Marshall walked around in the dark streets of Detroit alone. We looked down on the ground while we walked over the street.
"But, You ain't coming on visit neither?" Asked Marshall and broke the awkward silence. I looked up and met his gaze
"I hope I can, and not just one day in that case ... Maybe I can stay at dad's place ..." I said thoughtfully, joking of course, but Marshall coughed loudly as soon as he heard the word "dad" from me.
"Are you nuts ?? He get's wasted EVERY motherfucking night and you and I BOTH know he'll end up beating you! Do not you even consider staying at his place ..." He said venomously and hugged me lightly. I smiled briefly of his reaction and looked up at the starry sky.
"What am I gonna do then?" I asked sadly and walked away from the sidewalk and onto the narrow forest path through the woods. Marshall followed.
"Stay at my place then, or rather me and Kim's place ..." He said, I met his gaze with wide eyes.
"I'm PRETTY sure she will not let me stay, Slim ..." I said and sighed quietly to myself when we went into a large open clearing in the middle of the forest with a large pond.
Marshall and I used to play here as little, we made wooden cabins in the trees in the fall, bathed in the pond in the summer and made igloos in the winter. Good memories...
"Haha, long time since last time we were here ..." Marshall said pensive and smiled at me, I smiled easily back and looked across the dark, abandoned place.
"Remember me though, don't forget me, aigh't? Cause I'll not forget you, you crazy whitegirl ..." he said smiling, I laughed short and tousled his short blonde hair.
"Forget you? Your name is practically tattoed in my brain, you are not leaving from it! Haha!" I laughed and winked at him.
"Haha, But siriously though. Keep in touch, send me letters and pictures. Give me updates on everything, I promise to answer as fast as I can ..." Marshall said, I stared at him smiling.
"I promise, but I'm not leaving yet. Let's talk about somethin else ..." I said and smiled to myself as I walked down to the pond, I felt his gaze in the neck and heard he followed me. I stopped right on the waterfront, looking out over the water surface.
"What're you thinking?" He asked and looked at me as he stood next to him, I turned toward him smiling.
"Bad move, Whiteboy ... " I said smiling and pushed him into the water. He got big eyes and tumbled sideways in the pond, which quickly got deep when you first walked out. Entire him ended up under water and finally he popped up and splashed against me breathlessly.
"Oh, I swear, I'm gonna fucking kill you, Alex !!!" He said smiling and showed me the finger while splashing around like a duck, hahaha! I almost laughed myself to death by the sight of him and lost my balance in laughter cramp. I tried to keep myself up and nearly made it when I felt some wet hands that took a hold around me in a big hug.
"MARSHALL !!" I squealed while he went into the water laughing evilly. "Let me go!!" I howled smiling, he laughed briefly.
"Okay." He said and dropped me into the pond. I gasped as soon as I got to the surface and looked up at him angrily. "You TOLD me to let you go, so don't be mad at me !!" He laughed and turned his back to me to go out of the pond, but then I jumped onto his back and wo both fell backwards into the water once more.
"Alex !!! Hahahah !!!" He laughed when we both came up to the surface smiling, we smiled at each other and gave each other proper "fuck you" faces before we both burst out laughing once again.
