All On Contract

Chapter 24 - Holding Grudges

Tessa's P.O.V:
I turn to my right and fall face down on the floor with the blanket wrapped around my body. I let out a frustrated breath as I turn on my back and look around the room.

I fell asleep on the couch last night and I guess Marshall took the bed. He didn't bother coming back to talk and apologise but then again, he's Marshall Mathers. He doesn't even know the definition of that word.

Sighing, I get off the ground and sit back down on the couch as I yawn and tie my hair in a loose bun. I stand up from my seat and slowly pull open the curtins, letting the sun brighten up the room.

I make my way towards the bedroom door slowly and open it as quietly as I can. I peak my head in to find it empty. I open it more and walk towards the closet.

I pick out a pair of leggings and a white top since i'm only staying at the hotel anyway. I grab my towel and look through my suitcase for my underwear. Once I find a pair, I zip up the suitcase and stand up.

The door to the ensuit opens and Marshall walks out with a towel wrapped around his waist as he fixes the chain on his wrist. Just when I open my mouth to speak, Marshall looks away and walk past me.

The silent treatment? Really?!

I roll my eyes and walk into the steamy bathroom. If Marshall wants to hold a grudge and act like a bitch then that's fine. I don't want to talk to him if he doesn't want to talk to me.

Once i'm done having a wash, I quickly step out the shower and dry my body before I get dressed. I pick up my dirty clothes and chuck them in the laundry basket, ontop of Marshall's.

I make my way out and notice Marshall walk into the closet. I choose to ignore him and walk over to my dressing table to apply on my make up for today.

I dip my head down and take off my towel off my head and throw it on the bed as I blow dry my hair and brush it. I stand up from my seat and walk out to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee and one for Marshall too incase he has it.

"Your manager's on the phone." Marshall mumbles and chucks me the hotel room phone. I catch it and turn my back towards him and lean against the kitchen top as I place the phone next to my ear.

"Hey, Leroy." I sigh.

"YOU MESSED UP BIG TIME TESSA SANCHEZ BLACK!!" Leroy shouts making me move the phone away from my ear quickly.

"Calm the hell down." I shout into the phone.

"Calm down? Calm fucking down!" Leroy shouts.

"Leroy, honey. Calm yourself." I hear his wife say in the background.

"Oh cool, Mrs Tatum's back from Greece?" I say as I jump up on the counter and cross my right leg over my left. I drink from the cup as I wait for Leroy to speak.

"Never mind that!" Leroy tuts. "You're all over the media, Tessa!" He sighs.

"News flash, Leroy. I'm all over media everyday." I roll my eyes.

"Stop making a joke out of this." Leroy snaps. "You're supposed to be engaged and you're kissing another guy?" He shouts.

"Well you were the one that wanted me to get publicity, Leory. I just helped you out." I joke.

"Stop making fun of this. I don't want this kind of publicity for you." Leroy says. "Tessa, you're already being called a cheater again!" Leroy snaps.

I go quiet for a few minutes when that sentence comes out from his lips, its been a few weeks since people stopped hating on me and calling me a cheater but now all these rumors are going to start all over again.
