Side by side

Jenny's P.O.V

Two months later.

Things are so perfect with me and Marshall and I can't get over how good my life has turned out. He makes me so happy!

This weekend the girls are busy and Tyler wanted to visit my mom and Sam, so me and Marshall are all alone this weekend which is pretty rare. I love spending time alone with him, don't get me wrong; I love spending time like a family but we enjoy each other in another way when we're alone.

Marshall comes walking out from the bathroom only wearing a towel on his bottom half. I sit here doing my makeup but I can't help looking at him as he's so hot with water still dripping down his chest.

"I've been thinking about something." He says and sits down on the bed which is behind me. I look at him in the mirror to show him that he has my attention. "Would you mind if we visit my mom today?"

I almost choke on air as it really surprises me. His mom is a touchy subject and even though that they're talking again then it's a little complicated.

"You want to introduce me to her?" I ask a little confused.

"Yeah, I've told her so much about you." He admits. "She wants to meet you."

"But.. today?" I ask as it's such short notice.

"Or we can do it another day." He shrugs.

"No." I say as I feel bad now. He wants to do this today then we're gonna do this today. "I want to meet her today." I offer him a smile.

"Are you sure? It's really okay if you don't.."

"I'm sure." I cut him off and he gets up from the bed. I watch him in the mirror as he walks over to me and then he leans down and kisses my cheek.

"Thanks baby." He says and he now looks at me in the mirror, it's more like he studies me. "You know.. you don't need all that stuff, you're beautiful just the way you are." He's so sweet!

"You're so sweet." I tell him. "But I actually like to do something out of myself." 

"I know." He says and kisses me in my hair. "I love you."

"I love you too." I say and we stare into each other's eyes for a moment.

"I really mean it, Jen." He becomes more serious now. "I don't know what I would do without you."

"I feel the same way." I tell him. Marshall has become my rock and I'm so comfortable around him. I feel like I can talk to him about everything, even Kyle! I rarely talk about Kyle with people but I feel comfortable talking to Marshall about him. Marshall understands my situation in another way that other people do and that's why I can share it with him.

Marshall now walks into the walk in closet to put on some clothes and it doesn't take him long before he comes into the bedroom again.

"Meet me downstairs when you're ready, alright?" He now says.

"Okay." I say and he leaves the bedroom.

I put a bit more mascara on and then I choose to put on a classic red lipstick. I look at myself in the mirror and I'm satisfied with the result.

I walk downstairs and find Marshall in the living room watching football, of course. He looks at me when he hears me enter the room.

"I like the lipstick." He compliments me.

"I thought you said you liked the natural me." I tease him as I walk over to him.
