Marshall's P.O.V

Jenny has now been working here for 4 months and I'm still fucking tired of her. We just can't get along and she's become so much more smart in her mouth. She knows that I can't fire her which only gives her the guts to talk more back to me. Yes I'm very hard on her but half the time she's fucking asking for trouble. Do I really have to tell how much she actually annoys me?

I've been locked up in the studio the most of the morning with Nickle, we have really worked our asses off with beats and lyrics today. It's insane how fast we can put songs together and how much fun we actually have with it.

"Have you discussed that music video with Jenny yet?" Nickle asks me. We already have an idea about which song is gonna be our first single and we want to do a music video for it. Jenny has gotten more responsibility around here and she's kinda become my assistant also. I don't like her but I have to admit that she gets shit done fast and then it's also easier to make her call around to arrange things and make the accountants afterwards. It was Jimmy who wanted to give her more responsibility because he saw how good she actually were, even though I agree with how good she is then I would never give her so much credit myself. Sometimes I think Jimmy hates me even though I know he really doesn't, but it's like he thinks it's funny to give Jenny more responsibility when he's aware about the tension between us. Does he think that it helps when we have to discuss more business?

"Not yet." I say.

"You know how fucking pissed she gets when you come to her with shit like that in last minute." Nickle sighs knowing that it's what me and Jenny argue most about. Honestly I like to piss her off, I think it's so funny when she gets angry.

"Yeah yeah.. I'll discuss it with her today." I say.

"She's been working here for 4 months now, are you never gonna get fucking tired of the beef?" Nickle asks.

"I ain't got beef with her, I just don't like her and we rarely agree with each other. You know she has a problem with me too, right?" I ask him as people only seem to notice my problem with her.

"Can you blame her? You've been treating her like shit from the day she got here." Nickle chuckles.

"Yo, she had a fucking problem with me even before she met me." I say. I don't really know if it's true but what I do know is, that she didn't like me when she stepped into this building the first day.

"Maybe you both should get over that shit cus it's bringing bad vibes around here." Nickle says. I know that me and Jenny's arguments can get a little heated sometimes but that girl ain't holding back either.

"Say that to her man, cus her attitude has only gotten worse since she got more responsibility around her." I say.

"I think you love to piss her off because I swear you do it on purpose sometimes." He chuckles. "You always like to piss hot bitches off." That's true.. I love to piss bitches off because there's nothing more sexy than a pissed off female, but I don't do it cus I find Jenny sexy when she's angry, I do it cus I think it's funny and to show her how much she can piss me off.

"Yeah but I just like to provoke Jenny cus I don't like her." I say.

"So you're not attractive to her?" Nickle asks. Sure Jenny is hot but her bitch persona ruins it all.

"No she's a stuck up bitch." I say which just makes Nickle shake his head. I know that the guys around here like the way Jenny looks, apparently they also like how she is as a person, it seems like I'm the only one who doesn't like her around here.

...

I walk out of the studio into the common room, I swear sometimes it feels like you walk into another world when you've been locked up in the studio for hours. It's about 12:30pm and I really need some food and something to drink. I hear the front door open so my eyes turn to the door  where I see Jenny walking with a little boy next to her. Who is he? Me and Jenny get eye contact and her look begs me to not be a dick.
