Remember Me? (eminem fanfiction)

Something Unexpected

October 11, 2000

Hey it's me Ruby, I know I haven't written for a while I've just been so busy with work and, with life... Marshall never called the number I gave him, but who was I kidding it'd be crazy for me to think that he would actually call me. I mean what am I? I'm just another girl. Oh well back to work. -Ruby H.

"Hey girl you're sure looking down today" Amber says as she walks up to my desk.

I look down at the pile of unorganized papers scattered across my desk, I'm really behind. Being a receptionist at a doctors office is not what I would call a perfect job.

"I'm fine Amber" I mutter.

"You don't seem fine, do you want to go out for a drink tonight and talk about it?"

"Maybe, just let me-"

*Ring ring*

My cellphone phone interrupts my sentence. Which is odd because nobody ever calls me at work. I pick it up and hit talk.

"Um... Hello."

"Ruby?"

"That's me."
His voice sounds very familiar.

"It's Marshall, you know Marshall Mathers, Eminem."

"Oh. What do you want?" I said a little bit colder than I meant to.

He paused for minute before continuing "I, uh... wanted to know if you wanted to come to Detroit this weekend and hang out, maybe meet my daughter."

"It's been more than a year since I've seen you, why are calling me?"

"I've been really busy and-look do you want to come or not?"

"I guess so."

"Cool. Can you fly out Friday?"

"Yeah I can make that work."

"Okay my manager will send you information on how to reach me, see you soon."

Before I get the chance to say anything else the line goes dead.

"Was that who I think it was?" Amber asks.

"Yep that was him. Marshall Mathers."

"Why was he calling?"

"He wants me to fly to Detroit on Friday to hang out and meet his daughter."

"What? Why?"

"I don't really know honestly, I mean he hasn't called in like, forever and then all of a sudden he calls me out of the blue asking to see me."

"And he wants you to meet his daughter?"

"I think that's what surprises me the most, I mean he doesn't really know me."

"Well hopefully he can get to know you" Amber says enthusiastically.

"Why are you so excited?"

"Come on Ruby think about it my best friend dating Eminem."

"Whoah you're going a bit far there, besides isn't he with that Kim chick?"

"Well yeah but from what I heard they don't get along very well."

"I'm not going to date him."

"Why not?"

"I'm just not."

I don't know if it was a good idea to accept Marshall's offer to visit but for some reason I couldn't help myself. I'm just going to visit. I have no intention of dating him. Amber doesn't know about my past and I'd like to keep it that way. Sigh. -Ruby
