Savage Love || An Eminem Fanfiction

Chapter 35

Marshall POV

I was sitting in the studio when my phone buzzed and I received a text message.

From Satan:
Are you at the studio?

I sent off a quick reply and went back to the soundboard, I was hitting a few buttons when suddenly the most heinous cover of Pinks Beautiful Trauma I've ever fucking heard filled the room.

"Fucking jesus"

"Ready to sign me Shady? I took the liberty and recorded myself while you were in a meeting yeaterday"

I turned around to see Blair standing in the doorway, a smirk playing on her lips.

My eyes dropped to the t-shirt was wearing.

It was the 2000s me.

"What are you wearing?"

"Gonna at least buy me a drink first?"

"Where the fuck you find that?"

She looked down and smiled "Dollar bin at Marshall's, you like?"

"No fucking way, go put it back" I snorted "This song is an abortion"

Fuck.

Probably not the best choice of words.

"Uh sorry that was a bad choice of words"

"It's okay, you don't have to walk on eggshells around me, if you did that your music would suck"

"Please don't sing ever again as long as we're friends, it sounds like you're summoning up your demons from hell"

"That's rude, I think it sounded great"

"That's why I'm a multi-platinum-selling artist and producer and you're not" I snorted "I don't even think the dogs thought it was great"

She sat down and kicked her feet up on the soundboard

"Why show me how to make music if you won't let me spread my creative wings"

"Because the world ain't ready for that trama" I smirked as she flipped me off "Hows the apartment hunting?"

"Well, there was a nice crack den in Warren, it's got character I guess, and I'm sure if I lick the walls I can get a nice buzz"

"That's steep, nothing in an area you won't be robbed in?"

"Not in my price range, I'm gonna have to move back in with my parents" She sighed "I feel sick just thinking about it"

"Because your sister will be around"

"Exactly"

"Did you not say you shared a house with douchbag?"

"Yeah, we bought it together a few years ago"

"And you got money for it right?"

"Wait" Blair said, light bulb obviously going off inside that head of hers as she started to dig through her handbag, dumping shit all over my soundboard.

"I got it ages ago, I forgot about it!" She said waving the check "I guess I've been too busy being drunk and stupid, thinking I could trust my best friend"

I grabbed the check and inspected it and looked up at her with a raised eyebrow "So you just casually forgot you were carrying around a 200k check? Fuck me, what if your stupid ass lost it?"

She snatched it back "Well I didn't, thanks, Marshall"

"Want me to get Paul to get the number of a good real estate agent for you?"

"That would be great" She smiles tucking the check back into her bag"

"Good, I ain't having you live in Warren"

I had the urge to ask if she wanted one of the rooms at my house, but I knew she wouldn't have it, which wouldn't have made sense because she acts as if she owns the damn place when she's there.

------

I had been finishing up some beats as Blair was on and off the phone to Paul finding an agent.

"Yea I realise that bu-" Ahe said as Paul obviously cut her off.

I started to eavesdrop, pretending to still push buttons.

"I don't think I'm ready to go back and so that yet"

I moved around the dials just for good measure to look busy, as I listened closely to Paul's voice, talking about a job in law.

"Eventually I want to do back and do corporate law, I mean I-"

I hate when he does this, he talks and talks and you don't even get to finish your sentences when he's on a roll.

"He knows my name?... Wow, well like I said, I don't think I'm in the mental mind far-" She huffed and rolled her eyes "I'm well aware I could be earning more money if I went back to working in law, I'm not stupid"

Paul's muffled voice came through the phone, I could only just make it out that he was ending the call

"Ok thanks, I appreciate it" Blair said as she hung up.

"Wanna add your two cents since I know you haven't been working" Blair smirked at me "You taught me how to use it remember"

"What he want?"

"He's got a friend that needs someone to join their firm, but I'm not ready to go back to that part of my life yet, I'm still a mess"

"Well it's your call, if you're not ready then you're not" I shrugged "I'm sure other opportunities will happen when you're ready"

"That's true" She said with a small smile.

"Look at you go, weeding out the snakes, moving to your own place" I replied as she nodded "My turn to come to take over your apartment and eat all your food"

"Your place will still be heaps better, as if" She snorted "Plus I never have any good in my fridge so good luck"

I rolled my eyes, that would be right.

"So even though you'll have your own place, you're still gonna come mooch of me?"

" That's a hard yes Marshall, you've got the good tv"

"what if I buy you one?"

"Still not the same, nice try though, you're stuck with me" She grinned.

"I just want my bed back, and I know you turn groupies away, I ain't stupid"

"I have no idea what you're talking about" She said as she pretended to look through her handbag again.

"There are texts on my phone that I don't remember writing and suddenly my security is sending them away with orders I don't remember giving" I said with a raised eyebrow.

"Maybe your phones hacked, I'd get that checked out if I were you, that's so weird and maybe your security is getting confused" She shrugged.

I eyed her as she sat there not making eye contact.

"you're a terrible liar"
