Savage Love || An Eminem Fanfiction

Chapter 22

Marshall's POV

Mixing a new beat on the soundboard I'm interrupted by Royce waltzing into the room, sitting down next to me grinning.

"What?"

"I heard from a pretty little birdy that you're having sleepovers"

"The fuck you on about?"

"Well" he said sitting back on his chair, re-adjusting his glasses "I had a phone call from Alaina, who heard from Hailie that she was over yours and an angry yet very pretty brunette who goes by the name of Blair, almost half your age was walking out of your bedroom in nothing but one of your T-shirts"

I leaned back in my chair.

It had been a few days, I figured Hailie must have forgotten, but it seems they were all playing phone tag with each other.

"What does it matter?"

"So, what is it Marshall? Are you playing sleepovers with her now? Hate to mate?"

"It's not like that at all, we're not sleeping together"

"You're not about to sit there and tell me you're not banging her"

"I'm not, we're friends remember?"

"Since when the fuck do friends share a bed?"

"Since we don't have the most normal of friendships I guess, hell sometimes when she's fucked up, She even ends up sleeping in my bed naked" I shrugged.

"I don't believe any of this" Royce snorted "You sleep next to her when she's naked, in your bed, and you don't do shit?"

"That's correct Nancy Drew"

Royce shook his head "What the fuck, have you been castrated?"

"No, it's not like I haven't offered her a guest room" I shrug "She prefers my bed, I'm not gonna say no, I'd be stupid if I did"

"But you're not getting anything out of it?" Royce said, still baffled.

"I've got booty calls with other women for that" I shrugged.

"Man you can't even have a normal goddamn friendship with a woman" He said picking up a notepad "I can't believe you ain't banging that, I mean, it's yours for the taking"

"It's not, she only tries it on me when she's wasted" I shrugged again "I respect her too much to take advantage, but again, I can't stress the fact enough, we're just friends"

"You're a freak"

"what's new, sue me"

Royce continues to shake his head in confusion, scratching his goatee.

"Women and men can be friends you know"

"Ya but normally when an older guy gets his chance he takes it"

"Nah, not me, not with her, she's damaged and needs someone she can trust, I ain't about to fuck up her trust by sticking my dick in her"

"That's actually a fair point" He said looking pensive "So how damaged is she? I've seen her angry, but I didn't realize she's damaged"

"Her ex-boyfriend was basically pounding her sister for 4 years of their 6-year relationship" I said turning down the beat "She found out about it when he broke up with her 5 months ago to be with her sister, they got married a week ago, then announced they're expecting a baby end of the year"

"Damn that's cold" Royce said "Her own sister too"

"Yeah and her sister isn't even as hot as her, she's like plain and shit"
