Jenny's P.O.V

I walk into Shady Records and I've been sure to show up early hoping that I'll be the only one here by now, so I can just walk down to my office and hide. I walk through the common room when Marshall comes out from the studio, I quickly look the other way and I head in the direction of my office.

"Good morning to you too Jenny." He yells after me but I don't say anything, I just hurry to my office. I'm so embarrassed of how drunk I got at Nickle's party! I haven't been that drunk for years and I hate myself for becoming that drunk. I can't believe that I asked Marshall for a ride home, what was I thinking?! And why the fuck did I talk about the comment he made that day? Why did I embarrass myself like that? I only get to sit down on my chair in the office before Marshall steps into my office. "You got pretty drunk at Nickle's party, huh?"

"Get out Marshall." I say rolling my eyes.

"Suddenly you wanted to talk about a lot of stuff, do you remember that?" Marshall asks and sits down on a chair. Didn't he heard what I said?

"I remember and I don't wanna talk about it." I make it clear to him.

"But I want." He says. God he's annoying!

"I really appreciate you driving me home and all that jazz but we don't need to talk more about that night." I say. I'm still pissed about the fact that he said that thing that day but I also got a little curious. It's almost been a year since another man paid interest in me and I know that Marshall doesn't pay interest in me, but he gave me a compliment in his own twisted way and  apparently that got me a little curious in my condition. I guess I wanted to know if he really meant it or if he just said that I was attractive to not get me too angry.

"You haven't even talked to me since that day.."

"We never talk Marshall." I cut him off.

"You know what the fuck I mean." He rolls his eyes. "Why were you so curious about it?"

"I wasn't curious Marshall." I roll my eyes as I don't want him to think I was curious. "I guess I just wanted to know if you got it all in your mouth."

"Why do you even care when you don't want me to fuck you?" He asks.

"I don't."

"Apparently you do since you asked."

"Marshall I was drunk." I sigh.

"That's never an excuse." He chuckles.

"Why are we even having this conversation?" I get really irritated now.

"Why shouldn't we have this conversation?"

"Because it doesn't matter!" I say. "We can't even stand each other so this is ridiculous."

"But apparently you're curious if I would really fuck you." He smirks and provokes me even more.

"You're so fucking twisted Marshall, you know that?" I ask but I continue before he can answer. "You've been doing nothing else but make my time here miserable and suddenly you act like this."

"Like what?" He asks and the weird thing is that I can't even explain it.

"You know what I mean." I just say.

"I really don't." He says.

"You're just acting strange." I say.

"So are you." He says. "Apparently you have some secretly curiosity about me."
