Just the two of us (book 2)

Chapter 82 Stuck up bitch

Next morning

I wake up in an empty bed, I already know that Marshall is up and he has already getting started on his day. I'm so embarrassed about what happened last night, how the anger got the best of me that I can't even get out of bed right now. I'm afraid to go downstairs because I don't know if Marshall chose to let it go or if he wants to talk about my psycho ass behavior last night. What irritates me is that only Marshall can make me act like some psycho bitch, I've never been like that with Kevin and I think it's because me and Marshall both have a huge temper. Marshall is the only one who can make me as angry as he did like last night, he's the only one who can make me lose control like I did.
I finally decide to get out of bed because I might as well just get it over with. I put on one of Marshall's t-shirts and walk downstairs where I find him in his office buried in paperwork. I knock gently on the doorframe to get his attention and I lean against it afterwards. Marshall looks up at me with his beautiful blue eyes and he offers me a smile, I can't tell you how happy I am to see that smile.
"What's up?" He asks.
"Are you angry with me?" I cut right to the case.
"Come over here." He asks me as he pushes his chair backwards. I walk over to him and he pulls me down to his lap. "I'm not angry with you but that whole thing with you and Kevin being partners bothers me."
"Have a little faith, will you?" I ask.
"I'm trying babe but it makes me so fucking uncomfortable and you know that man." He sighs.
"I know." I say and kisses his cheek.
"And even though I love your psycho ass then remember that next time you want to steal one of my cars then take the SUV or something. My Mercedes is my fucking baby." He says followed with a laugh.
"I'm so sorry Marshall. I'm so embarrassed and I promise that I won't ever drive your Mercedes again." I promise him.
"Why don't we buy you a car? I mean.. You live here now and you're gonna need one." He says. A car? He can't just buy me a car.
"You know how I feel about.."
"You live here now, will you please drop that shit?" He cuts me off.
"When I begin to earn my own money then I can buy myself a car." I say.
"Then how are you gonna get to work until then? Are you gonna take the buss?" He asks. I can't take his car?
"I thought I could borrow one of yours?" I ask.
"No way man." He says and kisses my neck. "Just let me buy your a car."
"I don't know.."
"Come on baby, let me buy you a car." He begs.
"Okay just a little car and nothing too expensive." I say.
"You can choose whatever car you want." He says and kisses my shoulder.
"I'm sorry about last night." I say.
"Don't be baby." He says. "Lucas wants you to stop by today."
"Are the two of you okay?" I ask as I remember how angry Lucas got at Marshall last night.
"I don't know." Marshall just says like it doesn't bother him but I know it does.
"You know how protective he is." I say. "I'm gonna talk to him."
"I think it was fucking corny of him to assume that I was causing all that shit last night." Marshall sighs.
"I'm gonna talk to him." I say and kiss him.
"What happened Amelia?" He asks and I know what he means. He wants to know what caused the panic attack.
"I thought it didn't bother me that much but it does. All the memories of what James did just came through me like a wave and I got so scared, it felt like I couldn't breathe and I really thought I was gonna die." I explain.
"I'm not gonna let something like that happen to you ever again, you know that, right?" He says.
"I know baby." I say and kiss him.
"You know you can talk to me about everything, right?" He asks now.
"Sure." I say smiling.
"I mean it Amelia. I don't want you to hide something because you don't feel like you can't talk to me about it." He says. I feel that I can share everything with Marshall, so does he have the feeling that I'm hiding something from him? Because I don't.
"I know." I say.
"Good." He says smiling and I get up from his lap.
"I'm gonna go get ready and head home to Lucas." I say.
"Yeah do that." He says smiling. "Then I can work without you distracting me." I love when he flirts with me.
"We can't have that." I giggle as I walk out of his office. I walk upstairs and get myself ready, I put on some dark blue jeans and a white top, my hair in a ponytail and some flat boots. I walk downstairs and into Marshall's office to say goodbye.
"So.. Should I just take the Mercedes?" I joke as I lean against the doorframe. Marshall looks up and he bites his lip before he speaks.
"Are you looking for trouble?" He chuckles.
"Maybe a little." I giggle.
"Just take the SUV." He smiles.
"Okay, I love you." I say.
"Are you gonna leave without giving me a kiss?" He asks in a cocky tone. I walk over to him and kiss him.
"Happy?" I ask.
"Nah." He says and pulls me in for a kiss. This time it's hot and intense and if I weren't on my way out I would have jumped him right now but I really need to drive to Lucas. "I love you." He says when I break the kiss.
"I love you." I say as I walk out of his office.
I grab the keys for the SUV and go out to the car. On the way over to Lucas I get kinda nervous because me and Tasha are not on good terms after our conversation last time at the hospital. I said some pretty mean things to her because I was in a bad place. Besides that, there's still a lot of tension between us because of the past. Really I just want me and Tasha to go back to normal but right now I don't think it's possible. It seems that she can't let it go and that she has so much anger towards me and I'm disappointed in her and I can't let that go.
