Side by side

Marshall's P.O.V

I sit in the common room with Denaun when Jenny walks in starting her day at work. She looks at me smiling but she keeps on walking, she says good morning to us but walk straight down the hallway. I turn my body completely around to watch her ass as she walks. I whistle at her to let her know that I like what I see, she turns her head and giggle but I can see how she blushes.

"Yeah keep playing hard to get." I say which makes her laugh and shake her head as she walks into her office.

"Damn she must really like you if she can blush over your bad pick up lines." Denaun chuckles.

"Yeah." I agree with him laughing. "She's fucking amazing man."

"You've really fallen hard for her, huh?" Denaun says.

"Yeah." I say and look down to my papers. "Let's hope she doesn't fuck me over."

"I think you got a bigger chance of fucking it up than she has." Denaun says which makes me shoot him a glare. I would never fuck it up with her so what is it he's saying? "Let's face it Marshall, you back off when you get scared."

"What should I be scared of?" I frown.

"That she'll break you heart." Denaun says.

"I won't be capable of pushing her away. I can't seem to stay away from her." I say.

"Then let's hope you don't fuck it up by being too possessive or jealous." Denaun says and he's starting to piss me off a little.

"What are you playing at dawg?" I frown. "Are you just trying to piss me off?"

"No I'm trying to prevent you from acting stupid. Jenny is beautiful and a lot of guys will look after her, imma just make sure that it doesn't tick you off or some shit like that." Denaun explains.

"I know where I have her." I say. It took me so fucking long to get where we are so I don't think she'll drop it all to the floor for some other guy.

"Cool." Denaun says.

...

The next few hours we're pretty much hung up on work when I suddenly get a text past noon.

From; Tammy
I'm outside. Care to let me in?

What the fuck is she doing here? I haven't seen her since the day I visited her at the rehabilitation center.

"Tammy is outside." I say to Denaun as I get up.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" Denaun asks.

"Dunno." I shrug and I walk out through the comment room and out to the front door to open the gates.

I watch Tammy walk through the gates, she looks healthy and she looks really good. She's all dolled up and wearing a sexy outfit. I really don't hope she's expecting anything cus I can't deal with that shit. She smiles when she sees me standing here as the door is made of glass. When she gets close I then open the door for her.

"Uh, since when did you become such a gentleman?" She giggles and hugs me.

"What's up?" I just ask. I wanna know what she's doing here. She can't just show up here expecting that we can go back there. I'm with Jenny now and I don't want to fuck groupies anymore.

"I was nearby." She says and walk towards the common room. Sure she was.

"What are you doing here, Tammy?"
I ask and she turns around with a frowning look on her face.

"It almost sounds like you don't want me here." She says.

"It's unexpected." I just say.

"Well.. I just wanted to chat with you. You know.. I'm doing really good now and I wanted to thank you but I can just leave if you don't want me here." She says and walk towards the front door again. So dramatic. I grab her arm as she walks past me.

"No, sit down." I say. "I wanna hear how things are going for you." I've never paid interest in Tammy before but I wanna hear how her rehabilitation was and how her recovery is going.

Tammy smiles and we walk over and sit down at the table.

"3 months sober." She says proudly.

"Good job." I say. I remember how fucking great I felt when I had been 3 months sober, it felt good to win the battle with myself.

"All thanks to you." She smiles.

"I'm glad I could help." I say honestly.

"I'm never gonna go back there Marshall, I really really promise." She says. "I'm so glad that you sent me to rehab."

"You better not go back there." I say.

"I won't." She smiles. "But I still don't understand why you did it, I mean.. you never really cared much for me, I know that. You don't have to tell me another lie because I know what I was to you."

"But someplace I guess I cared a little." I admit. Not that I've ever had feelings for Tammy but I guess I cared about her somehow, but I didn't realize it before she went to such a bad place. Tammy now gives me a warning look which tell me not to give her another lie. "You're a good girl Tammy and I knew you deserved better, you know what I mean? I didn't want you to suffer like you did. You weren't feeling well man."

"No, I wasn't." She says. "And the main reason was you."

"I know." I say as I know that I've played her around but she searched for my attention as well.

"Not to say that you made me do drugs or anything but I became a party girl to forget." She says and I remain silent. I know I've hurt her and I knew that she had feelings for me but she also knew that I would never be her boyfriend. She should have drawn the line cus all I was seeing was easy pussy, I wouldn't say no to that. "But I'm doing a lot better and I'm truly thankful for what you did for me."

"And now that I see how well you're doing then I'm glad I helped you." I say and Tammy now look behind me which makes me turn around to follow her stare. I turn around to see Jenny standing down the hallway looking at us. She looks surprised but also disappointed. Jenny knows very well why Tammy normally comes around and I know what she thinks right now.

"Jenny, I'll be in your office in about 5 minutes, I promise." I say and she doesn't say anything, she just turns on her heels and walk back to her office.

"She likes you." Tammy says and I look at her. "Like really like you."

"I know." I say. "I like her too."

"Woow." She says smiling. "Marshall Mathers aka Eminem actually truly likes a girl."

"Yeah." I crack a smile.

"Wait.. you're dating?" She asks surprised.

"Yeah."

"Oh.. then she must think that I'm here because.." she cuts herself off. "I don't wanna cause any trouble." She gets up from the chair. "Go make up with your girl."

"Thanks Tammy." I say and get up as well and give her a hug. "Take care."

"You too Marshall." She says and then she walk out of the front door. Shit.. now I just gotta make Jenny believe that Tammy wasn't here to get laid.

A short chapter but I hope you liked it. How do you think Jenny is gonna react when Marshall comes to her office?
