Behind the Pain

Normal Nights

Marshall P.O.V

I didn't sleep well again last night, by the time I drove Andrea home and arrived home myself it was late and I basically fell asleep 5 minutes into the football but unfortunately the sleeping only lasted a couple of Hours and by 12 am I was wide awake. I would be lying if I didn't admit Andrea did cross my mind why I was lying in bed, nothing to important or significant they were just little thoughts or funny moments that happened during the day, I actually didn't mind driving Andrea home, with the girls being at their mothers most nights its usually me and its gets lonely so I like spending my nights at the studio, before their wasn't any really one that I enjoyed hanging with though, Paul and Tracey usually head back to New York when things aren't to busy and well Royce like spending time with his girlfriend, But since Andrea has started working with us, it was actually fun to hang back at work and to do paper work because it was just like hanging with a friend.

" Did you get any sleep last night?, because no offence you look like shit" Royce joked as I walked outside into the front car park area, most of the guys were mucking around playing basketball before we start working for the day.

" Some" I mumbled answering his question, I was hoping no one was going to notice my lack of sleep or the tiredness that showed in my eyes, but I guess when you work with guys like Royce every day they notice the smallest things.

I started warming up and getting more energetic as I played basketball with Royce and the guys, Even though I told Andrea last night that she is more than welcomed to have a sick day she insisted she was fine to come in, she promised that she isn't going to spend all day here since she only has a few things to do. I did also offer to drive her to work today since I am getting her range Rover fixed but she insisted that she has another car she is able to drive.

It was only 5 minutes later that we all noticed a car stopped out the front, Royce being the nosy person he is couldn't help but stop playing to see if he could figure out who it is. I gave up after 2 seconds and started playing Basketball with the guys again, leaving Royce standing there trying to work out who it was.

The rest of us guys didn't really pay attention while it drove in, I just assumed it was someone visiting Paul or one of the technical guys had decided to buy a new very expensive car.

" Holy fuck. Its Andrea" I heard Royce say loud enough for only a few of us guys to hear. At first I was wondering what he was talking about but as I looked over I saw Andrea getting out of the car we were all just admiring. It was an Aston Martin in like a pure white, I have to admit Man she looked good getting out of it, she suited the car Very well.

" Nice Car" Royce Continued admiring while we all walked over to see her amazing Aston Martin, straight away the guys all started checking it out.

" thanks" she replied smiling as she came and stood next to me while we stood and watched the guys  admire this car. Have to admit there is no way I thought she would be able to afford this kind of car

" You know when you said you were going to drive an old car I was expecting you know an old Mazda or something, not a classic" I joked, laughing as she joined in. I am not someone that is into cars that much, I have mainly got Range Rovers or Mercedes but if I was ever going to get a sports car this would defiantly be in my top 5 of cars to get. It suited Andrea so well, its was simple but classy at the same time, which described Andrea so well.

" Your selling it?" Royce asked, breaking the conversation between Andrea and I. I hadn't noticed the sign that sat in the back of the car.

" yeah, well my oldest son is probably going to get his license soon and I don't want to him to expect something like this for his first car, so I thought I will sell it and buy an old ute or something, besides I rarely drive it, it just sits in my Garage." she answered, explaining that she was planning on buying a old car for her son, which I thought was quite smart and genuine. A lot of rich parents buy these incredibly expensive cars for their children and the car only really last a few years because they get damaged by the kids trashing it. These children expect things to be given to them without them doing any work, I know with my girls I try to teach them about work ethics and how to earn their own money without expecting everything from me, its not that I don't like spoiling them a lot its just they aren't spoilt brats that demand everything.
