Meeting Marshall Mathers: The Relapse Era

Chapter 32

"We uh.." Marshall had his back turned to me whilst getting a bottled drink from the refrigerator, I was leant against the breakfast bar with my head in my phone,
"We got somewhere to be at tonight"

"Sure" I wasn't paying much attention I was busy watching a video of Karlies little angel Noah,

"Jodie!"

"What?" I paused the clip and looked up,

"Oh yuh hi, over here" he waved his hand up in my face making me chuckle as I pushed his hand away,

"Sorry I was watching something, what was you saying?"

"No it's fine" he shrugged and pushed his bottom lip out doing a funny little unbothered frown,

"Tell me?" I hated when he would do this if I hadn't been paying attention to him talking at me,

"No you don't wanna listen then I ain't got the time to repeat myself, you know, thousands of people would give me their entire attention 24/7.." He pretended to get on his high horse, holding his hand to his chest whilst squinting his eyes,

"I'm sure they would baby" I nodded and smiled,

"You know what, I don't like your attitude, you need to go"

"I'd like to see how long you'd last before calling me"

"What makes you think I couldn't drop you faster than a hot potato?" He smirked and took a swig of his water whilst eyeballing me,

"If you dropped me you'd pick me back up quicker than the ten second rule"

"The ten second rule?"

"Aha, you know, like when you drop dry food on the floor? They say you have like ten seconds to pick it up before it's too late"

"I ain't heard of that, must be some crazy English shit, man that's disgusting"

"Yeah well I never personally followed that rule.."

"Bullshit. Bet you was like a chicken to bird feed, anyone dropping shit Jodie be there with her head bopping" he did the head action of a chicken, mocking me with the sound too,

"Hey!" I threatened to throw my phone at him, he flinched which made me laugh at him,

"Fuck you" he put his tongue to his cheek with a very devilish smirk,

"So cmon what was you gonna say to me?"

"You sure you're listening?"

"I ammm, Marshall cmon please"

"You sure you got that brain switched on?"

"Marshall!"

"You sure you cleaned out those little ears of yours?"

"Wow!"

"What've I told you about doing that? I know I'm amazing but quit with the wowing, it's weird"

"I swear..." I shook my head as he laughed at my frustration which wound me up more,

"Alright, okay" he did a funny little snigger as he watched his finger trail a pattern into the kitchen worktop,
"There's a party goin' on that we, the whole Shady unit been invited too, some big hip hop kinda joint, LL's hosting with Dre so you know, I was thinking maybe we could get our shit together and go down?"

"You want me to come?" My eyes lit up, usually he'd go to these big gigs on his own with his shady camp to look the solo rider, the rolling stone,

"Yea why not. We ain't been out together in a long while. I think it'll be good, you know, for us"
