Side by side

Marshall's P.O.V

Never have I met a woman who can cut off her feelings like Jenny can. It's scary.
I see her walk out of the door and I know there's no need in trying to stop her, cus she won't even listen to me. I'm so fucking done with women!

I walk back to the studio where Nickle sits and wait. He looks at me and I just sit down with a big sigh. Nickle doesn't say anything knowing that in situations like this then it's just best to shut up.

"I'm fucking done with bitches." I say.

"Hey, she'll come around.."

"No she won't." I say already knowing that I won't get another chance from her. "She's serious about this."

"You want me to talk to her?" Nickle asks and it's a kind offer but I know that Jenny won't listen to him either.

"She won't listen man." I tell him. "She already jumped to a conclusion." I know that I can't make her believe in me, I'm not even sure I would've believed in me if I had overheard that conversation.

"Shit is gonna be fucking awkward around here again man." Nickle sighs.

"Yeah, I seem to never learn." I sigh. I shouldn't get involved with people I work with, it never ends well.

...

We've been stuck in the studio all day and I've been in a fucking bad mood. I've been isolating myself, the only good thing is that I've been writing a lot. Pain is good for my career.

"Yo, we're gonna have some girls over soon." Denaun suddenly says.

"Alright." I say still looking down to my notepad.

I sit there writing and I have no idea how long I sit, but suddenly I decide to walk out to the kitchen but as I walk through the common room then I see the girls there. They're tempting but then I spot one of Tammy's friend. I could use Tammy now as I know she can handle me, I know she can handle my pain and anger and I know she doesn't mind that I take it out on her through sex.

"Yo dawg." Nickle says. "Are you gonna join?"

"What's Tammy doing?" I ask her friend and I don't answer Nickle's question.

"Don't know." She shrugs. "Probably just home. She's got boring as fuck." I don't know what Tammy has told her friends but it actually sounds like she's staying clean.

"Ask her to come over." I say and walk out to the kitchen.

"Are you sure you wanna go down that road?" I hear Nickle behind me as I grab a red bull in the fridge.

"Don't even try to work some voodoo shit on me." I sigh annoyed. He's the one cheating on his wife all the time with whores around here.

"She'll never forgive it." Nickle states. What does it matter anyway? She doesn't change her mind and even if she did then she ain't gonna find out.

"She ain't even gonna find out." I say. "And it's not like she's gonna change her mind."

"Maybe you should just give it a couple of days." Nickle advices me.

"Maybe you should just shut the fuck up." I say and walk back to the common room.

"She's on her way." Tammy's friend says.

"Cool." I say.

...

Tammy comes walking in and I look at her, she's wearing a short skirt and a top that shows off her lower stomach. I knew she would be down. I walk over to her so we can get some more privacy.
