Marshall's P.O.V

I sit in the common room with Nickle when Jenny walks in of the front door. She didn't answer my calls and my texts yesterday, I know I pushed her a little too hard but it's for her own best. She can't live her live that way and it doesn't benefit Tyler at all. How is she gonna be when he gets older and he wants to go on trips and shit like that? She needs to be comfortable being away from him.

Jenny just walks through the common room and down to her office, she didn't even look in our direction but she was well aware that we were here. She's acting fucking crazy right now and it doesn't need to be his way.

"Damn you sure pissed her off good." Nickle says knowing what went down last night.

"Apparently." I say and get up from the chair. Normally I would explode on a bitch for giving me the attitude that Jenny just did but I know that if I do that then I'm gonna lose her. I'm not gonna deny that her attitude really pisses me off big time so I really have to control myself.

I walk into her office and she doesn't even look up when I come in so she knows it's me. Damn this woman!

"So is this what you want?" I ask her. "Do you just wanna ignore me and that's it?"

"I'm working Marshall, get out." She says and takes some documents from the drawer and place it on the desk but she still doesn't look at me.

"Do you still want me to come on Sunday?" I ask. I'm curious if she's so pissed that she doesn't even wanna spend time with me.

"I don't see a reason to." She says. "We're gonna be together for a whole week anyways." I take a deep breath cus else imma explode on her in a minute. She can really turn into a bitch when you step on her toes.

"Jenny, be a little reasonable, alright?" I say which makes her look up at me.

"Says the one who threatened to fire me as his assistant yesterday?" She asks.

"You can't be my assistant if you refuse to go with me once in awhile." I say as that's not an option. "I'm not trying to be a dick but that's simply a fact."

"Are we done?" She asks rudely. I swear.. if she was talking to me like that just 7 years ago then I would have cursed her out.

"I don't know, are we?" I ask with an attitude that tells her that we're not talking about the same thing.

"Yes, I got to work." She says not answering the question that I was referring to.

"Is it over between us?" I ask.

"No I'm just angry right now so will you please leave me alone?" She asks and she looks away from me. I already know her well enough to know that she doesn't wanna show me her sadness.

"Jenny, I'm crazy about you and I only want the best for you." I say and walk closer to her. "You're very overprotective with Tyler and I totally get it after what you've been through and all, but you have to be able to do these things also for his fault. You can't keep him close to you when he gets older man."

"Don't you think I know that?" She frowns.

"So why not try it out with going with me to New York where you actually have the opportunity to go home if it gets too much for you?" I ask.

"I already said that I'm going."

"Yeah but you're still angry with me."

"Because you threatened to fire me as your assistant." She snaps. "I know you're my boss but I'm also the girl you're dating."

"But sadly it was the truth Jenny." I explain. "You need to assist me to these things."

"You don't get it." She rolls her eyes. No you don't get it!

"No." I say. "Explain it to me."

"I just did." She says. Women!

"What am I suppose to do now?" I sigh. "I don't want it to be like this between us."

"Leave me alone." She says. I can't leave her alone when she's like this, I can't concentrate about my work when I know she's damn pissed at me.

"I'm not leaving before we're okay." I frown.

"We're okay so leave me alone." She sighs.

"Do I look stupid to you?" I ask offended.

"Marshall, I would really prefer if we didn't do this at work." She sighs.

"Fine, you're off early today." I say as I want to do this right now.

"I guess I have to do this at home then." She begins to gather the papers. She's unbelievable!

"Jenny, talk to me for fuck sake!" I accidentally raise my voice and the look on her face makes me wish I didn't. "Baby sorry, I didn't intend to.."

"But you did." She cuts me off. I take the last steps over to her and I squat down next to her.

"I'm sorry." I say softly. "I just can't stand you being angry with me." But she still doesn't answer me so I turn her head and kiss her. At first she doesn't kiss me back but suddenly I feel her giving in. "Forgive me." I say against her lips and she just nods. I stand up and kiss her more passionately and she totally gives in. I pull her up from her chair and lifts her up on the desk. Fuck, I want her so badly! I slide my hands up her naked thighs up towards her skirt but she grabs my hands before I get underneath her skirt.

"Not here." She says. God dammit..

"It's hard to keep my hands off you." I sigh which makes her giggle. "Am I allowed to come by on Sunday and spend time with you and Tyler?"

"Hmm.." she fakes her considering and I grab her jaw and pulls her closer to my face.

"You need to think about it, huh?" I ask cocky which makes her giggle. "What if I promise to treat you as good as I did last time?" I smirk.

"Stop." She giggles and she gets so shy, it's so sweet.

"Why are you getting so shy with me?" I chuckle. "Sometimes you're just as nasty as me."

"No." she laughs. "Don't even dare to compare me with your nastiness."

"You're a little freak deep inside." I chuckle.

"Maybe." She says smiling.

"Am I gonna get a taste of that on Sunday?" I ask.

"I'm not sure you can handle it." She says and I squeeze her thigh hard now. "Arh!"

"I can't handle what?" I chuckle.

"Marshall please!" She begs and I let go.

"You have no idea what a freak I can be baby." I smirk.

"You're so nasty." She giggles and jumps down. "I really need to get back to work." She says and kisses me.

"Yeah me too." I sigh and we share a last kiss before I walk down to the studio.
