All On Contract

Chapter 50 - Clothing Line Launch

Tessa's P.O.V:
"I just need to choose the final design." I say with the phone pressed between my ear and shoulder as I hang up one of the designs on the wall. 

"When's the show?" Marshall asks. 

"Tomorrow." I mumble with the pen in my mouth. I cross out one of the designs and look at the next one. "I have to get up early. A few designers from France and England are coming so everything has to be perfect." I add. 

"You'll be fine, stop stressing about it to much." Marshall says making me smile lightly. 

"I have to be better than fine." I say. 

Tomorrow is the day I launch my clothing line and boy am I stressed out. Its been two weeks since I last saw Marshall and I hate to say this but I miss him like crazy. 

The tour had finsihed a few weeks ago and now it's September. Time had gone by so bloody fast, it feels like it was just yesterday when Marshall and I signed the contract but it's actually been six months. 

I pushed my feels for Marshall back down. I couldn't have any feeling's for him. Everything I touch I ruin and I don't want this contract and this weird relationship that I have with Marshall to be ruined. 

So I am taking a step back and ignoring any feeling I have for Marshall. I'm sticking to the contract that I signed....well kinda, i'm just ignoring the no sexual relationship part. 

"You'll be great." I hear Marshall mumble, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Thanks." I smile lightly. "I'm behind schedule." I mumble. 

"Don't you have anyone to help you?" He asks.

I turn to my right and look down at Karla and Chris cuddling on my bed as they sleep. My eyes drift away from them and land on my brother Jacob to find him snoring away on my couch. I look down at my new assistant looking through the papers as she drinks her coffee to help her stay awake. 

"Yeah, Jacobs helping me pick out a few designes and so are Chris and Karla." I say. 

"That's good." Marshall says.

"Mhmm, if they were awake it would be good." I say making Marshall chuckle before he yawns. 

"But my new assistant is helping me out." I shrug as I reach over for my red bull can and take a sip.

"Paul put me on your guest list." Marshall says. 

"Leroy told me. But you have interviews to go to so it's fine." I shrug. 

"You sure? I can always do the interviews some other time." Marshall says. 

"It's fine Marshall. Plus I don't think going to fashion events is exactly your thing." I say making him chuckle.

"You're right it isn't." He says sleeply. 

"So. You miss me?" I ask and I smile lightly when Marshall chuckles softly.

"Not one bit. I'm so fucking happy that you're gone away for two weeks." He yawns.

"Uh hu..." I shake my head. 

"It's true. I can order pizza instead of having one of your healthy meals. I can watch what I want want on TV. I can stay home inside instead of spending my afternoon by the lake in the back garden with you. Most of all, I can sleep on my bed without you pulling the duvet off me and taking up the whole bed." He says. 

"I do not take up the whole bed!" I whine, making him laugh. 

"I'm having the best time of my life without you here." He jokes.
