Rihanna's POV

Today was Friday meaning Marshall would be leaving soon to head back to Detroit. I didn't realize how hard of a transaction it would be for me to move to whole entire different state. Of course I wanted to go because I wanted to be with Marshall, but my work, friends, and family all live here in California. Leaving all this will be hard, but I know I'll be able to settle in just fine in Detroit.

The Grammy's were tomorrow night, and that's when the whole world will find out about Marshall and I's relationship. I felt excited and nervous thinking about the whole situation. Once everyone friends out, a big weight will be lifted off my chest. However, the paparazzi and media eat up relationship drama like crazy. So I'm scared of what lies and rumors they will come up with. Many celebrity couples have been ruined by the tabloids, I just don't want that to happen. I can't imagine a day without Marshall to talk to, that would be devastating.

I sat on my bed with an assortment of papers surrounding me. I listened to track beat after track beat, and read several different song and lyric ideas that my mind was growing with exhaustion. I have yet to put out a new album this year, and part of that is due to how busy I've been. Though the monster tour only lasted about a month, I was all over the place. From various award shows, putting on charity fundraisers, and joining major fashion industries like Puma, I hardly have enough time to breath. However, I still got to work hard for my fans and get this album out eventually.

From the corner of my eye I saw Marshall enter the room and sit himself beside me on the bed. He kissed my cheek softly like he always did when he wanted my attention. I took my headphones off and turned my head to look at him.

"What you doing Ri?" He asked picking up piece of paper from the cluttered stack that circled my body.

"Working." I stated bluntly, leaning back on the pile of pillows behind me.

"You stressed?" He asked handing me the paper back. I lazily lifted it out of his hands and placed it back into my somewhat "organized" work place.

"Maybe a bit, putting an album out every year is hard.." I admitted with a yawn.

"I bet it is, what about tomorrow?" Marshall asked pulling me closer to him, so we could cuddle on the bed.

"Kind of, it's a weird feeling." I said trying to explain.

"Yeah I get Ya. I wonder how everyone's going to react."

"Same." I said curling up closer to him. I needed to rest my eyes, only for a minute.

"Ri if your tired just go to sleep, work can wait." Marshall said in a hushed tone.

"Sleep would be great right now, but I can't." I said pushing myself away from him before I drifted off to sleep.

"You sure? You have been in here for hours... Want some dinner?" He asked persuading me to stop working.

"Dinner? What time is it?" I asked looking around for a clock or phone so I could check the time.

"It's like 8:30 Ri, like I said you have been in here for hours."

"Holy shit the whole day flew by, I'm sorry Marshall. I hope I didn't bore you and the girls out by being isolated in my room all day." I said feeling guilty, how could it be 8:30? I could have sworn it was only 1:00 last time I checked the time.

"Nah Ri, the girls are good at keeping themselves entertained, and I did some work also today." He said trying to put my conscious at ease.

"Okay, good. Well then yeah I guess I'll go eat something." I said collecting my papers and throwing them back in my bedside table drawer.
