Stay

The girls

I woke up and Marshall was rummaging through his closet to find clothes. I sat up and rubbed my eyes not understanding. He came out of his closet and starting putting on the clothes he found, paying no mind to the fact that I was awake. He put his clothes on and then went and brushed his teeth before finally coming over to where I was. "Morning babe" he said to me and gave me a kiss. "Good morning. How come you're getting dressed?" I questioned. He didn't stop cleaning the room but he responded "My girls are coming today. I totally forgot."  I was a little startled when he said this and I quickly started getting dressed. "Oh I'm sorry. Do you want me to go?" I asked him, continuing to put my clothes on. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me. "What? No. I'm going to introduce you guys." He told me. Completely serious. I then also stopped what I was doing. "What? You really want me to meet them?!" I was so excited and I think he could tell because he just laughed at me. "Yeah really, Alex. You're important to me and so are my girls and I want you guys to meet he said as he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead. "But I don't want to do it like this so help me clean?"  He asked me, smiling. Of course. There was candles and rose petals all over the room. "Oh! Yeah of course sorry." I told him and helped him clean. I kept mumbling things to myself like "I hope they like me. What if they don't like me? Oh god they won't like me." I didn't realize Marshall could here me until he came over to me and kissed me. Followed with "Alex, they'll love you. I promise." I smiled warmly at him and was relieved. Once everything was pretty much picked up, up here we went downstairs and cleaned up our wine glasses and plates from last night. Just as we were finishing up, Marshall's door bell rang. He ran over to open the door and my breathe caught. Kim was at the door. They talked for a few minutes, her not seeming to notice me, and then the girls came in and Kim left. I let out a breathe I didn't realize I was holding in. First came Hailie, who gave Marshall a huge hug and an excited "hey dad! I missed you!" He hugged her back and seemed so happy to see her. "Hey, baby. I missed you too." Then came Whitney and Alaina who both gave him hugs and came inside. I was sitting at the kitchen table when they all noticed me and stopped walking. Marshall closed the door and then came up next me, seeing I was very nervous because he rubbed my back reassuringly. He began to speak to the girls. "Girls this is my girlfriend Alex. She's really important to me and I really wanted you all to meet." He looked down at the floor nervously. They all started smiling and they came up to me and introduced themselves. They all asked me questions about what I did and how long I had been with Marshall. They were all very sweet. Eventually we all decided to make lunch. We just made pizza because everyone in the house loved it. We all spent the majority of the day together. I got along very well with Hailie and Alaina. I got along with Whitney too, she was just a bit younger. Eventually Hailie and Alaina decided to go out with some friends as they wished me goodbye. After that it was me and Whitney and Marshall. Whitney wanted to watch her favorite tv show so we all did that until Kim came to pick her up. I was expecting them to just tell Marshall goodbye and then leave. But something else happened. I heard Marshall stop Kim before she left. He was talking about... Oh god. Me! He was talking about me! "I've been with this girl named Alex for a while now and she's really sweet and beautiful and she makes me happy. The girls all met her today and I didn't want to act like she was a secret from you so I wanted you to meet her. " figuring that was sorta my cue, I stood up and went to where they were standing by the front door. I smiled sweetly at them and introduced myself.  "Hi, I'm Alex. It's so nice to meet you." I told her. She smiled back at me and must've seen I was uncomfortable. "Hi, I'm Kim. You don't have to be nervous or anything. I'm not angry. I just want Marshall to be happy." That was so nice of her. We talked for a few minutes before saying our goodbyes and Marshall closed the door, wrapping me up in his arms. I let out a huge sigh of relief and Marshall chuckled at me. "I told you they would love you." He told me, pulling me into a kiss. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He carried me to the couch and laid me down, him over the top of me. I ran my hands all over his muscular chest and back. He ran his hands all over my body until his hands found their way into my jeans. And then his phone started ringing. Marshall let out a frustrated groan and I giggled at him. He answered his phone and only talked for a few second before he angrily hung up. "I gotta go to the fucking studio." He told me. "It's okay, baby. I can see you later?" I said softly. "Of course." He said and kissed my forehead. He took my hand and we went out to his car. As we started driving, he turned on the radio. I knew the song and I started singing. I noticed him looking at me so I stopped, turning very red. He frowned at me. "Why did you stop?" He questioned. "Because I'm awful. And I'm never doing that again." I said firmly. But Marshall pleaded and pleaded until I sang for him again. He just drove and seemed completely content with the sound of my voice. As I always was with his. We arrived at my place and he opened my door for me. "You're a great singer." He told me seriously. "No I'm not." I told him, just as serious and he frowned at me again. "Yes you are. You gotta sing for me again soon." He said. This time smiling. I let out a joking groan and he laughed at me. He walked me up to my apartment and wrapped his arms around my waist and grinned at me. "See you later?" He asked as he smacked my ass. I grinned back at him. "If you keep that up, absolutely." He pulled me into a kiss and smiled. "Later, baby" he told me as he left. I walked into my empty feeling apartment and went to my bathroom and looked in the mirror. My makeup actually wasn't smudged today. I went into my kitchen and got a glass of water before going to sit on my couch and turn on the tv. I got a text from Marshall about an hour or so later.

Text from: Marshall<3:
"Working late tonight. Come over tomorrow?"

Text to: Marshall<3:
"Of course. text me in the morning? Don't work yourself too hard :);) love you!"

Text from: Marshall<3
"Sure. I'll try not to ;). Love you too."

I smiled at our messages and then went to change into more comfortable clothes. For the rest of the night I mostly was on social media and listening to music before I drifted off to sleep.
