All On Contract

Chapter 51 - Aunt And Uncle

Tessa's P.O.V:
I stay seated in the corner of the room with Hunter on my lap. Nathan hands Marshall another gift as Blaire and Proof talk and eat more cake. 

"You got me a fucking Britney Spears book?" Marshall laughs as he tosses wrapping paper on the floor. 

"Yeah, figured out you were a fan so..." Nathan trails off and shrugs. 

"Damn Nate, what gave it away?" He asks sarcastically.

"The Britney Spears posters under your bed and the Britney Spears cd collect-" Nathan starts but gets cut off when Marshall throws a pillow at his head.

Today is October 17th, Marshall's birthday. Blaire, DeShaun, Nathan and I threw him a party at his studio since he's been working his ass off in here and hasn't been coming home.

It was late and i'm tried since I just came back from California this afternoon and haven't had a nap since we were getting ready for Marshall's suprise party. 

"A cooking book?" Marshall holds up my gift. 

"What? Everytime you cook, you smoke the whole kitchen up. You suck at cooking." I point at him, making him roll his eyes as Blaire and Proof chuckle. 

We stay in Marshall's studio for another hour with D12, Obie Trice, Blaire and Nathan. Slowly everyone starts to leave until it's just me, Proof, Marshall, Nathan and Blaire. 

"I need a ride home." Blaire says. 

"Walk it." Marshall mumbles before he gets a slap on his head by Blaire. 

"I'll drop you off B." DeShaun says as he stands up and pulls on his jacket. 

"I need to go back to mom's." Nathan says. 

"Why? I thought you were coming back to my place." Marshall says. 

"Can't. I have homework." Nathan says. I stand up and place my dog on the floor before I say goodbye to everyone.

"I don't want that thing in my bed with us." Marshall says as he walks out of his bathroom. 

I cover my naked body with my blanket as I stand up from his bed and pick up my clothes from the floor. 

"Tough. He's staying." I state as I whistle for Hunter to follow me. 

"Over my dead body." Marshall says. 

"That can be arranged." I mumble as I walk pass him. "Ow!" I laugh when Marshall slaps my on my ass. 

"I heard that." He points at me. 

"You were supposed to." I say as I walk towards the door. 

"Where you going." Marshall asks but I don't reply and walk out of his room. 

I walk towards my bedroom with Hunter right next to me. I lock the door behind me before I walk towards my closet and pick out my night clothes and head towards the bathroom. 

After a quick shower, I do my night time routine and walk out with Hunter next to me and Marshall's actual gift in my hand. Did he actually think I was going to gift him a cooking booking and some shoes?

"Marshall." I call him as I step into his bedroom.

His room light was switched off but the lamp on his bedside table was on. Marshall was leaned back again his headboard with his notebook in hand. 

"What are you doing." I say as I step onto his bed and walk ontop of the blanket as Hunter barks. 

"You think I was joking about that thing being in my room?" Marshall gestures towards Hunter making me frown.
