Tessa's P.O.V:
I let out a sigh when my phone makes a noise, letting me know that I have another text message. I thrown the duvet off my head and let out a sigh as I rub my hand over my face. I let out a yawn as I turn to my left to find the bed empty.
I sit up slightly as I take in my surroundings. This isn't my bedroom. I swallow a lump in my throat as I listen out for Marshall but don't hear a sound.
It was completely silent. The curtins were open and his bathroom door was open, letting me know that he wasn't in there either. I move the duvet off me and look down at my naked body.
"Damn it, Tessa." I mumble to myself as I squeeze my eyes shut.
I slowly climb out of Marshall's bed and wrap his duvet around me incase he walks in. He's already seen me naked, I know that. I grab one of my heels on the floor and lool for the rest of my stuff.
I pick up my dress and hold it out infornt of me. Well, atleast he didn't end up ripping it when he helped me out of it. I grab my other shoe and wrap his duvet around me tightly.
I wince as I take another step foward to his door. Ouch, this kills. I slowly and painfully open his bedroom door and look out to find the halls empty and quiet.
"Ah...Ouch...Ouch...Ouch..." I hiss in pain as I make a run to my room. I quickly open the door and close it behind me before I look the door.
My legs we all shaky and I could barley walk. I drop my belongings on the floor and slide down against the door with Marshall duvet still wrapped around me.
I let out a small laugh when I think back to the day we were in California and I woke up after the party where I met Marcus. I remember asking Marshall is we slept together since I didn't remember anything.
Marshall kept in telling me that we did end up sex. I asked Rosea and she said that she was the one that helped me change into my sweats and got me ready for bed. I remember confronting Marshall.
'If we did you would have remembered...Plus you wouldn't be able to walk for a few weeks...'
I shake my head as Marshall's word rub through my head. Boy was he right cause I can barley stand up after the twork rounds we had last night.
I snap out of my thoughts when my phone starts to buzz, letting me know that my battery is dying. I wince as I stand up and slowly make my way to my bed side table and place my phone on charge.
I walk into my bathroom and rush into the shower. I let the steaming hot water soak me as I wash my hair and body. I turn off the tap around an hour later and walk out off the bathroom and towards my closet.
I get changed into a pair of skinny jeans and pull on a white top before I cover it with a black hoodie which had LA written on it. I walk over to my dressing table and quickly do my everyday make up even thought I will be home all day and quickly brush my hair.
I let out a small sigh when my phone starts to ring. I stand up from my seat and walk over to my side table. I look down at the caller's ID and smile. Just the person I was about to call.
"Hey beautiful." I say as into the phone as I drop down on the bed.
"Ugh, I hate you. You sound so frickin' happy. I hate happy." Karla growls into the phone.
"Wow, whats got you all moody." I ask.
"My 13 hour shift and my 4 patients dying on my OR table after a bust crash." She sighs.
"Yikes." I mumble.
"Sometime I wish I could have your job. Wanna trade? Can we like swap lives?" She asks making me chuckle.
"No thank you, I am loving life right now." She says.
"I hate you." She says. "I feel so annoyed with work and I'm busy taking care of Chris and Milo. Ugh it's so hard....and Chris and I still aren't talking and I can't even remember the last time we had sex. Fuck, I miss sex." She says.
"Mhmm." I bite down on my lip and think about last night.
"I need to have it." She groans.
"Marshall and I slept together." I blurt out quickly.
"Well mar-" Karla starts but stops talking. "Wait...as in you fell asleep together or he fucked you and then you fell asleep together." Karla says making me roll my eyes.
"Twice." I say.
"Holy fucking shit!!" She screams into the phone. "Oh, sorry baby. Why don't you take your breakfast to the tv room." She says to Milo in a soft tone as I chuckle. "You're fucking kidding." She says into the phone.
"I'm not." I shrug.
"Holy fucking shit....You and Marshall...You had-" She starts but I cut her off.
"Yes." I state.
"When and how..." She says quickly.
"How a person has sex? Well-" I start but she cuts me off.
"No!" She cuts me off quickly. "How did it happen." She asks as I laugh.
"Well....I came back and they threw me a suprise party." I start.
"Aww." I hear her mumble.
"Then everyone left and Marshall and I went upstairs and we...we...you know what we did." I tell her as I cover my face in embarrassment.
"Tessa. Marshall Mathers fucked you. Eminem fucked you and I need to know every little detail." She says making me laugh once again.
For the next twenty or so minutes, I tell Karla every single thing. She kept throwing in dirty jokes which I tried my best to ignore but sometimes would end up laughing.
"So...Is this going to happen again?" Karla asks.
"I...actually don't know." I answer he slowly.
"How come?" She asks.
"Well. I woke in his bed alone and we never got the chance to talk." I shrug.
"Damn...Was it like a one night stand?" She asks.
I go quiet for a few seconds as my mind drifts off to Marshall. Why did he leave without waking me up first? Does he regret last night? Was it a one time thing?
I hope not...
"Tess." Karla says.
"I'm here." I clear my throat as I sit up. "I don't know what Marshall wants out of all this." I shrug.
"Well. What do you want?" She asks and I go quiet one again. "Do you want to be his fuck buddy-" She starts but I cut in.
"Ew." I mumble.
"Or do you want something serious out of this?" She asks.
"You know nothing serious can happen between Marshall and I since we have a contract." I state.
"And you can't exactly be his fuck buddy either since that like the biggest rule on the contract." She says making me sigh.
Sometimes I wish I never signed the damn thing...
"You're right." I mumble.
"Ask him." She says.
"No." I mumble.
"Don't you want to know what he wants out of all this." She says, Karla let's out a small sigh when I don't answer. "Think about it." She says.
"Mhmm." I hum as I think back to Marshall.
"Anyway, very important question." She says.
"Go on." I mumble.
"Did you at least use protection?" She asks.
"Did we-" I start and shoot up. "Oh fuck." I gasp.
"I'll take that as a no." She says.
"Damn it." I curse under my breath as I stand up.
"Do you have a pill?" She asks.
"Why would I have a pill? I didn't see this coming." I sigh.
"Just go to the store and grab a pack...or two incase you and Marshall end up doing it again." She says. "Listen babe, I need ton go check on Milo." She says.
"Okay. I'll call you later." I tell her. I wince in pain when I run to grab my jordans.
"Damn...he went pretty hard hu?" She asks.
"Bye Karla." I roll my eyes.
"Bye, love you." She chuckles.
"Love you too, bye." I smile and flip my phone closed. I slip my feet into my jordans and grab my keys and wallet.
I walk towards the door and slowly pick up Marshall duvet and move it out of the way, I need to get the pills quickly so I don't have time to fix his bed.
I unlock the door and open it slowly before I make my way out of it when there's no one in the hallway. I walk down the stairs and out the front door.
I quickly get into my jeep and speed out of Marshall driveway. I still don't know my way around Detroit so it going to take me a while to find a pharmacy. I cover my face in my shades as I drive onto the main roads, the last thing I need is for people to see me buy birth control pills.
I arrived back from the pharmacy around half an hour ago to find Nathan in the living room room studying. I had taken the pill as soon as I got it. Marshall still wasn't home, Nathan said something about him being at the studio.
"Oh, left over birthday cake." Nathan says as he looks into the fridge. I make my way towards the counter and take a seat on the stool. "You want a slice?" He asks.
"No thank you." I smile up at him before I look through the newspaper.
"Oh come on, one slice won't hurt." He says making me roll my eyes.
I sip on my coffee as Nathan takes out the tray of cake and looks through the draws for a knife. I let out a small sigh as he bangs the cabinet door shut loudly.
"To your left Nathan. Second draw down." I tell him. God my head is killing me.
"Thanks." I hear him mumble.
"Your welcome." I say and look down at the newspaper.
"Here you go grandma." Nathan says and slides the place over to me. He cut a huge slice with the number 28 on it.
"You asshole." I say as I lean foward and slap him on his arm playfully.
"I've got to go and study." Nathan chuckles as he walks away with his plate.
***
I help Nathan pack his bags before he stands up and gives me a quick hug. I walk him to the door and watch him walk towards Debbie and walk back into the house, closing the door behind me, I slowly make my way upstairs.
I stop walking when I hear the front door open and close. Marshall place his bag on the floor before he takes off his jacket and tosses it aside. His eyes finally land on me, making me nervous under his gaze.
"Hey." Marshall finally speaks.
"Uhr, hi." I clear my throat and watch him make his way up to me. "Where have you been all day?" I ask him as we walk up the stairs.
"Studio." He says before it goes silent.
We slowly make our way upstairs and towards our rooms. Marshall and I both slowly stop by my door and stand there awkwardly as we look for the right words.
"Mars-" I start.
'Abou-" Marshall says at the same time.
"You can go ahead." Marshall says as he leans against the wall that across my door.
"Can we talk about last night?" I ask awkwardly as pictures of last night flush into my head. I feel butterfly's flutter in my stomach as I think about the way he was in bed last night.
He was good and I mean really really good.
"Yeah, that's actually what I was going to talk to you about too." Marshall shrugs. I watch him as he slides down against the wall and sits down.
I walk over to Marshall and sit down next to him, leaving some space between the two of us. I tuck my hair back awkwardly as I wait for him to talk.
"I.." Marshall clears his throat making me look up. "Listen I forgot to use-" Marshall starts before I quickly cut in.
"I've got that sorted. I took a pill this morning." I tell him.
"Oh." Marshall nods slowly.
"What happens now?" I ask quietly. Marshall goes quiet as he holds my gaze for a few long seconds.
"I don't want this to be a one time thing.' He finally speaks, taking me by suprise.
"Wait. You don't regret it?" I ask.
"Hell no." He shakes his head, making me smile a little. "Do you?" He asks.
"No." I shake my head.
"Well that's sorted." He as he leans foward and pulls me towards him. "Last night was an accident." He tells me as he tucks my hair behind my ear. "It wasn't planned but it was..." He trails off with small sigh.
"Amazing?" I tilt my head to the side.
"Yeah." He mumbles and leans foward to claim my lips.
"So...what now?" I ask.
"Well...we don't tell anyone and keep it between us." He tells me.
"I.." I let out a nervous chuckle.
"You already told Karla? Yeah I figured you would." He says.
"Does proof know?" I ask.
"Yeah." He nods. "But Nathan doesn't find out." He adds quickly.
"And niether do our managers." I add. "But this isn't anything serious, is it?" He asks.
"What you mean?" He asks.
"Listen, Marshall I just got divorced and i'm not ready for a real committed relationship." I say.
"I get that." He shrugs.
'You do?" I ask. Marshall nods slowly making me smile. "Good." I smile and place my lips against his and kiss him.
"You're like a fuck buddy." He says making me move back quickly. "I'm fucking with you." He laughs.
"Mhmm." I roll my eyes.
"How about.." Marshall trails off and pulls me ontop of him. "We do it again." He says before he kisses me.
"Uh uh. Not tonight." I shake my head.
"Oh come on." Marshall says making chuckle.
"Not tonight." I tell him. I still need to recover from last night. "I'm going to bed." I tell him as I stand up.
"It's nothing serious tho right?" Marshall says.
"Yep, nothing serious." I say as I walk towards my room and open the door.
"I told you that you wouldn't be able to walk for a few weeks after we fucked." Marshall says.
"Goodnight, Marshall." I roll my eyes.
'Goodnight." Marshall says before I close the door behind me.
I close the door behind me and walk over to my closet. I quickly get changed into a comfy pair of shorts and a thank top. I make my way into bathroom and do my night routine.
Once i'm done, I walk back out into my bedroom and throw the duvet off my bed as I turn on my lamp on the bedside table.
I look up from my phone when I hear a knock on the door. My mind drifts off towards the duvet on the floor. Crap, I forgot to place it back in his room. I quickly walk towards the door.
"Hey." I say as I open the door.
"Hi." Marshall smiles.
"I was supposed to give it back to you earlier on." I tell Marshall as I hand him his duvet.
"Thanks." He says. "And I was supposed to hand you this back." He says and holds up my black lace underwear.
My face turns bright red as Marshall holds it up and smirks. I quickly take it from his hands and shove his duvet in his hand before I mumble a 'goodnight' and close the door.
I hear Marshall let out a laugh as he slowly walks away. Fuck that's embarrassing. I switch of the lights and make my way to my bed.
I get another the duvet and pull it over me before I reach foward and switch off the lamp. I close my eyes and try to sleep.
"Damn it!" I curse when I can't sleep. I through the duvet off me and climb out of bed.
I slowly walk towards the door and walk out. I make my way to the bedroom next door and slowly creak the door open.
"Marshall." I call his name quietly but get no answer. I close the door behind me and walk over to his bed.
"I was just about to come to you." Marshall tells me as he throws the duvet off himself.
Marshall moves down for me and fixes the pillow next to me. I slowly get into the bed before Marshall pulls the duvet over me.
"I can get used to this." I tell Marshall as he pulls me closer and wraps his arm around me.
"So can I." He says before he leans foward and pecks me on the lips. Marshall keeps me pressed up his body as I keep my arm around his neck.
For the next hour or so we talk about everything and anything. I slowly find my self drift off to sleep as Marshall strokes my hair softly. Soon, we both fall alseep.
