Meeting Marshall Mathers: The Slim Shady Era

Chapter 67

We were drinking backstage, Obie was due to finish up soon. Marshall had not left my side all night, whether it be asking me if I wanted another drink or just asking me if i was okay and if I was enjoying myself. It was a slight relief to have his mind occupied with Proof who was telling a story of him terrorising Marshall's sunburn by whipping at it with his tshirt a few years back during a long, hot summer. Em then decided to put down his bottle to find a towel to whip him back, but before he could Kuniva stepped in and suggested 'boys being boys' to start a competition of who could whip Bizzys stomach the hardest to make the most ripples, they were all goofing off, drunk out of their minds, I'd not heard Proof laugh so loud when it came to Swift snapping Bizzy so hard that his belly furiously rippled better than anyone else's, I was cracking up, they were not sane...

"It's just a ripple in the ocean!" Proof sang and croakily laughed, Bizzy's eyes were chinkified as he cackled to himself whilst taking a seat, Em took centre focus as he made up a little rap, doing these funny shoulder jerks as he went, swift jumped up and joined in, the room was full of laughter...

"Sup mo'fuckas!" Obie burst through the door with a towel draped around his neck, handshaking his way through the room,

"Sweaty ass man, get a fuckin' shower or some shit dogg" Em laughed as they hugged it out,

"You love the stank pits" Obie laughed and received a bottle from some stranger,
"Ohh sup Jo! I seen'd you out there" he walked up to me so I stood up to give him a hug, his back was all wet but I didn't care,

"You was really fantastic, I'll be getting that album" we parted, I felt eyes burning into me, I could see over Obie's shoulder Em watching us closely,

"Cheers" he clinked his bottle with mine, "See what I did" he chuckled,

"Very clever" I smiled then giggled at the pun,

"Yo Marky, get me some clean shit man!" He shouted to some random guy who was chin wagging with Obie's management, he nodded and scarpered out of the room. Obie swigged his beer as he went to entertain the room...

"We can move into the bar, we're on lock down" Paul announced, everyone whooped and started shifting themselves, I then had a shock horror pain run right through me, I'd left Karlie! I got on my phone right away, whilst I rang her Marshall walked beside me and Proof next to him,

"Karlie?!" I panicked,

"Don't worry I've just made it out myself, I'm in the car but I thought I'd wait around until I knew for certain you wasn't coming back" I could hear the self satisfying smile in her voice,

"Well done Cupid"

"So I guess my job is done. Have a good night, and for fuck sake Jodie, don't fuck it up" we laughed,

"I honestly love you so much" I could of squeezed the life out of her!
"Actually... I'm gonna come get you, go to the entrance"

"What? Why? No Jodie honestly I did this for you and Marshall so just"

"Karlie shut the fuck up. You deserve more than anyone to be here partying with them, so, as I said, wait by the main doors, I'll be two secs" I ended the call,
"Marshall I need to get Karlie I can't believe I left her" I said as we got into the bar,

"They've already locked the doors"

"Well, I need Karlie in here with me, this was her plan you know"

"It was?"

"Mhmm. She forced me here, and it worked"

"Aight, look... I'll sort it, AY Paul!" He shouted him over,
