Rap God (Book 2)

Guess Who's Back...

May 2015

I was finally home after my 6 months in Europe and beyond, and was I glad to be back! Don't get me wrong, I had had a blast, the best experience I could have ever been given, but it was so exhausting, I was ready for a couple of weeks off. And starting that break was a night out with my girls.

A week ago when I arrived in Italy, I had received an email from Marshall. We had been emailing every week or so, just talking, telling each other what we had been doing, that kind of thing. I guess it made me more relaxed about knowing he hadn't forgotten about me. But he also told me about a little gig he had planned for our usual club. Like a little thank you to his greatest fans. It was gonna be incredibly hard to get tickets for it, and if I was in town by then he wanted to send me some for me and my girls. At the time I said I wasn't going to be home, which I was bummed about, and so was he, he told me so, so I had to decline. He told me to call him when I got home though, which made me stomach spin.

So, tonight, as much as it was a night out with my girls, I had managed to get a hold of Cedric, thanks to Hailie, and he said there'd be no problem with getting us in. I was excited to see him, apart from the emails; we hadn't verbally spoken since February when it was my birthday. And I say spoken, he had sent me a voicemail as I was in Dubai and the time difference was 11 hours.

"Happy birthday girl, hope you had a good day, wherever you are, I uhh...bye baby"

It was good to hear his voice, and I missed him. But I had that much going on with work that I hadn't had time to call him back much, and when I did, it was too late in the day. I knew he was on tour and I didn't want to disturb the little sleep that he was getting.

................

So, that evening I was dashing down the street from my car to the restaurant I was meeting the girls at.

I heard the girls screech as they saw me walking over. "Vick!!!" Ola squealed making the customers around our table look round at her. I laughed and greeted them all with a hug.

"Hey ladies!" I smiled, sitting down, seeing that they had ordered me a coke. "Hey girl! How's things! How was your trip?!" Erica asked, they were eager to know about my work. I had been in touch with her almost every day, like we always did, but she still wanted to hear about it all again. Like best friends do.

"So what about Marshall?" Erica asked, it being the first time that he had been mentioned. "What about him?" I asked, with a little grin. "Don't be playing those games with me" she told me, with a smile. I laughed. "What's to say?" I shrugged, annoying her. She shook her head, "yeah c'mon Vick, what's been happening while you've been away?" Camella asked. I took a sip of my drink and shrugged, "nothing much," I swallowed. "We've emailed a little, back and forth, but I haven't really spoken to him"

"Really?" Ola asked a little shocked. I nodded, glancing down at the table a little, "I thought you guys would be talking all the time" she said, "well we've both been so busy, we haven't really had time. He called me on my birthday."

"Aww...." The cooed, I laughed, "but he left a voice mail cause I was working" I laughed. They groaned in response, making me laugh more. "So what's the deal with you two?" Camella asked me, "yeah, I know you've gotta keep it all on the down low, but are you a thing?" Ola added, I laughed, looking at Erica. She knew all the stories about Marshall, "well..." I started, wondering how to phrase it. "Before I went away, he wanted to make sure I knew I was his girl" I told them, making them coo once more, making me smile. "So have you guys, uhh, you must have..." Ola asked, a little shyly, making me laugh again, "only twice..." I responded. Erica raised an eyebrow at me. "I don't have any complaints!" I grinned, "How does he measure?" she asked me, I knew what she meant. "Erica!" Ola gasped, completely on the wrong page. "Oh Ola! I don't mean that!" she frowned, making me and Camella laugh. "Oh, he's...up there" I said to her, "up there? Really?" she asked surprised, "hey, don't believe all you hear, boy has some tricks" I winked; Camella and Ola didn't have a clue what we were talking about. Erica had heard all the rumours about Marshall that I had, and I think even she was relieved that they weren't true.

"Jeez, but he's up there?!" she repeated, making me laugh, "what do you guys mean?!" Ola asked us exasperated. Erica and I looked at each other across the table, and she nodded at me. I sighed, "Well, you guys have heard us talk about Zak..."

"Bagans right? The ghost guy?" Camella interrupted. I nodded, "well, you know we all have that one guy who knows exactly how to put it down right?" the girls nodded wide eyed, "well..."

"Zak was that guy" Erica told them. They looked at Erica and then to me. "What happened?" Ola asked, "well I had to move to Rome for 7 months, pretty much the situation now," I told them, "but when I came back home, Zak had began dating another girl" I said. They all looked bummed. "yeah I was gutted, we hadn't agreed to be exclusive when I left, 7 months is a long time, but I was hoping he waited, but he didn't." I carried on, "yeah I was gutted, but we remained friends, kinda, I would still talk to him if I saw him, but I decided not to hang out with him or the guys cause I wasn't quite over him yet" I said, grabbing my drink. "Is that why you were a little anxious to leave Marshall?" Camella asked, I nodded, "but I guess, surprisingly, Eminem is different" I said, emphasising his name. They all smiled and nodded. "Which brings me back to my original point..." Erica began, "Marshall is up there in the bedroom department?!" she asked, making me blush, "with the guy you once described as dynamite?" she asked, I laughed and nodded. "Like I said, boy has tricks." I giggled, needing to fan myself at the thought of him working my body up. The girls squealed. "Oh my..." Camella sighed.

I think I was more than ready to see him again now. I just hope he was just as keen...

Okay so she's back in the game! and with a little insight as to who broke her and why she has the trust issues she has from the first book. Now, where is that pesky Rap God?! oh! in the next chapter of course! ;)
