Falling For The BAD GUY

Chapter 19- Guts over fear

August 31, 2001

We waited in the cab and still didn't know how to get out. All the Interviewers and the paparazzi was on the cab. I literally didn't know what to do!!

"Naomi call em now!" She yelled and I looked at her and took my phone out. I called Marshall and he didn't pick up. I looked at the time and it was 4:23pm so he must be in the hotel already

"He doesn't pick up" I say and I feel the tears building in my eyes from all the stress

"Try Again!" She said still with raised voice

"Would you please calm down it just makes me more fucking scared Emma" I yelled at her

"Fine" she said calming down "just call him N" I tried calling him again but he didn't pick up. After the 4th ring he finally answered

"Yo" he sounds like he woke up

"Marshall" my voice shake and I could feel my want to cry but I refuse to cry now

"Naomi? Is everything ok?" He sounds worry and that's it. I broke in tears. "Baby what's wrong?? where are you??" He asked again

"I'm outside the hotel Marshall. Emma and I went to do some shopping and people came up to us they knew who I was! I'm in the papers Marshall" I say can't hold back the tears and I feel stupid for crying

"What?! Since when are you in the papers?" He asked me

"It's from today's paper" I said "Marshall please come get us there's a lot of press here and we can't get out they followed us from the shopping center"

"I'll get the bodyguards to get you now don't worry ok?" He said and I nodded but realized he can't see me

"Ok" I said almost whispering but the phone line went dead.

"What did he say?" Emma asked me

"He's gonna get the bodyguards come get us out" I said and she nodded and after 2 minutes 2 big guys with suits came to the front of the car and pushed all the people asaid. They open the door and we got out. So many lights were flashing and I couldn't see anything I just kept on crying. Emma And I covered up ours faces and it felt like Eternity till we got there. We went through the doors and I saw Marshall in the lobby as well is swifty and proof. I just ran up to Marshall and hugged him crying to his chest

"Hey its fine" he said rubbing my back and just kept crying. "I'm here everything's ok" he said and I looked up at him

"No Marshall everything is not ok!!" I said and pulled back "I'm not ready for this Marshall! I'm far from being ready for the whole world to know me." I broke down again and he pulled me for another hug

"I know I know sorry.." he said kissing to my hair "but why are you crying?" He asked me

"Cause all of this just happened way too fast! It was just fucking stressful" I said and he stroke my cheek to whip the tears. I looked up at him and he gives me a small kiss on my forehead and just hug me until I calm down.

"Come on N you need to relax" he said and about to walk us to the elevator but proof Emma and swifty came up to us.

"Yo is everything cool N?" Swifty asked me and I nodded while hugging Marshall side "yo what's going on here?" He asked pointing at me and Marshall

"We'll talk about this shit later dawg" he said shaking hands with them and I said my goodbyes to them made sure Emma is fine. We walked up to the elevator.

"You coming with me to my suite?" He asked me and I looked up at him

"I don't care where we're going I just wanna be with you" I said and he smiled down at me and placed soft kiss on my lips and I hugged him even harder. We got to his suite and wow was it fucking huge
