Love The Way You Lie *discontinued*

21. Va Va Voom.

21. Va Va Voom.

➳ Skyler's Pov.

Staring at the huge mirror in front of me, I slowly turned around and looked at my reflection out of every angle possible. "I honestly don't even know if I wanna wear this."

"Why?" Alexander looked at me shocked. "Don't you like it? I really thought you would like it."

"Don't worry McQueen," I laughed as I saw his sad puppy eyes. "I actually love it. I was just scared I would ruin the embroidery when I wear it."

"Girl," Alex touched his chest as if he had just escaped a heart attack. "You really had me doubting myself for a minute."

I just shot him a grin, making him clap his hands once. "I knew you would love it. You'll look perfect at the MTV Video Music Awards." Once again I shot him a smile and went back to the dressing room to get changed since we now had found what I would wear to the MTV Award Show.

Only being dressed in my bra and a pair of matching panties, I heard my phone ringing. Without really thinking or looking at the caller ID, I answered. As soon as I recognized who just called me, my heart began to beat much faster and a smile spread on my lips. *Hey Baby, what'cha doin'?* the smile on my face grew because BABY.

*Just picked out what I wanted to wear to the MTV Awards.*

*Alright, what'cha doin' afterwards?*

*Meeting up with Nicki in the studio to record the song we worked on. What about you?*

✖✖✖

"Okay girls, one more time." The producer told us through his microphone. "But this time the whole thing."

Nicki and I both nodded, waiting for the beat to start. However, before that even happened, the door opened and no one else but Marshall freaking Mathers walked in. Immediately my eyes catch his and he gave me a smile, which I gladly returned but even though I was more than happy to see him and little fireworks exploded in my stomach, I still wondered why he was here since he had told me only hours ago on the cellphone that he will barely make it to the MTV Awards, even though we were supposed to perform together.

While I was extremely happy to see him, Nicki seemed to be a bit more stressed about it since she was really tensed and mumbled a small 'damn' under her breath, making me giggle due to her even knowing him because of a feature they did, but her still being that intimidated only by him entering the room.

My eyes were glued to him and I just couldn't help myself but kept smiling widely. I was so engrossed in staring at him, I nearly forgot to join Nicki in singing our newest collaboration. 'Va Va Voom.' Therefore, for the sake of our producer and the whole song, I reluctantly took my eyes off of him.

We went over the song a couple of times before we all agreed on it being enough and sounding well enough. Actually, as always, we didn't finished it until I decided I finally was satisfied with the result. This, in fact, kind of always was like that since I tended to be really perfectionistic with my music. Indeed, I really was a perfectionist when it came to things that mattered to me.

Once we were done, I finally was able to greet Marshall properly. As soon as I could, I straightly walked to where he stood and threw my arms tightly around his neck, pressing myself to his toned chest. Smiling, he embraced me strongly and whispered a soft 'I missed you' into my ear. Saying, I did too I pulled him even tighter. I was so enormously happy to have him surprise me like this and when we pulled away, I stared at him. "You have no idea how big of a surprise your visit is for me, I thought I wouldn't see you before our performance."

"But I hope it's a good one though." He grinned cornily still having his hands on my waist.

"Of course." I flirted.

However, our little moment then was interrupted by Nicki who somewhat shyly asked me if we were going to shot a music video to the song or not. After I answered that I thought we should, she hastily left, mumbling a goodbye and pulling our producer with her. She obviously still had to be very intimidated by the man in front of me and also wanted to leave us alone.

Marshall watched them as they left and then distanced himself from me, clearing his throat. "You wanna go grab somethin' to eat?"

As a response, I only nodded due to him acting a bit distant right now.

"Cool." Was all he replied as started making his way out of the room. I didn't follow him right away, causing him to look back and grabbing my hand, not so softly. Okay then.

Silence filled the air as we walked along the large hallways. But it wasn't as comfortable as it normally was. No. Marshall now seemed stressed and very tensed. It was pretty strange since only minutes ago he would hug me and tell me he had missed me. He was even kind of dragging me with him and not strolling hand in hand with me as always.

When we entered the elevator, Marshall even let go of my Hand but once it started moving I pressed the button which would stop the elevator immediately. Marshall turned to me, confused. "Why would you stop the elevator?"

"Because I wanna know why you're acting this strange out of the sudden. I mean about five minutes ago you were pressing me tightly to your chest and now you don't even look at me." I explained slowly, wanting to get this out of the way before it would become a real problem and would tear us apart. Again.

"It's nothing. But I..." He began quietly but then went silent for a few moments before turning to me and staring at me with burning eyes. "I, I just wonder who you write all your love and break up songs about, Skyler. You never told me about any other guy than this German actor you were dating. Y'know, I'm just curious, I mean I write all my songs about actual people or things that go through my head but what's it with you? Who is that guy you write so much about?"

I could see him trying to stay calm and ignore the fact that in his eyes I might have lied to him about my past relationships. But I hadn't. Besides Elyas, the German actor, I never officially dated someone or even was close to doing it.

Therefore I just giggled a bit, making him frown. "I have never lied to you about that, Marshall. I swear! I find all my inspirations in what's around me. It could be a movie, stories I get told, things that happen to friends of mine and so on. I never once in my live time have wrote a song about someone I had feelings for. Because there wasn't someone I loved that much to write a song about it. Not even for Elyas I have ever written a song, other than the two revenge songs that never were officially addressed to him. So don't worry, Marsh."

We stayed silent for a while before he pushed the button that made the elevator move again.

Soon after, while he still stared straightly forwards, he grabbed my hand again and gave its back a soft kiss. "Okay, then. Let's grab something to eat, Baby."
