After checking into the hotel, Luis and I headed over to the meeting spot.. I got to meet the fucking queen and looking down at my attire, I regret not fancying up a little bit more. We were to get details from her about her nephew then interview him afterwards. Apparently Mr Royal was having a bit too much fun in the lady department and nearly getting blank out drunk at every club in the city.The queen wanted that to disappear. She wanted the public to see her nephew for the kind man that he was. I called it bullshit but I kept that little tidbit to myself.The queen was everything that I had imagined her to be. She was literally the definition of elegance and she had to be the sweetest person, I have ever met."I really hope that I could of help today. I know that my wonderful nephew Francis will be on his best behavior when he comes out. He has been acting out a bit since he realized he was coming close to the edge of taking over the family business", She snickered before sipping
I read the messages until they stopped. Two missed calls were from him and the other was from my mother. Oops, I keep forgetting to call her back. Staring at Drake's name however made my heart race."Was it Drake?", Luis asked pulling me from my gaze."Um, yeah", I retorted."Who is Drake?", Francis asked. I whipped my head around to look at him and noticed how he was studying me, his gaze dropping to my lips. Instinctively I nibbled on my bottom lip, but totally not to tease him. The look in his eyes though looked as if he thought I was. Get your shit together, Lynn!"Drake is........", I trailed off, not really knowing how to reply to his questions."He's her boyfriend", Luis blurted out and i swear I almost snapped my neck when I glared at him."Ah! boyfriend", Francis tsked."Too bad.....", "He's not really my boyfriend. We were just having a.......","Some problems", Luis blurted out again, before he leaned down and whispered in my ear. "Cool it Lynn. I have a feeling Mr Royal
"i can see that Lynn truly loves you. The amount of hurt and uneasiness on her face when she asked about you was evident. And dont even get me started on the way she was looking at you over dinner last night. The girl has it bad for you","Is that why she was leaving so early in the morning?, Was she going to stay with Luis?", She shrugged but then she shook her head. "No, she said they were going to London for a few days for work. She isn't running from you D. I had said something along the lines of when she gets home, I think she should talk to you. She didn't hate the idea. Maybe she just needs a few days to get her head straight. Your career is a lot to take in for someone like Lynn",I rubbed the back of my head then stood up, tearing my hands away from Dakota's. I began to pace around as thoughts raced through my mind.~ What if she doesn't come back?! Obviously she will but what if she never speaks again to me?! I haven't even gotten a chance to explain myself anything to her
"There sure are. Did you want to see all of them. Or.....","That would be fine", I would love to talk to them individually if I didn't get all of them in one room and I don't have time or patience for that.She picked up the desk phone with her perfectly manicured nails and pressed a buttom. "Hi, Mr lemming, Mr Hudson is here to speak with all of you. Can I send him up", She looked up at me with a smile as she waited for his reply. "Very well", she hung up and nodded. "They will meet you in the conference room","Thanks", I stated with a wink before I pushed away from the counter and headed for the elevators.My heart was pounding the closer I got to the top of the floor. I have been working with these guys since I was sixteen year old kid. They taught me everything I knew and now I was quitting on them but it was the time. They probably knew that I was sticking around for much longer. No body ever did.Once you became as big as of a star I was, you got tired of the industry real qui
"How do I know that I can trust you?", I asked, needing to know."Have I ever screwed you over, do you remember when that crazy red head from a few years back tried to pin her pregnancy on you?",I felt my jaw tighten as I nodded my head. That woman almost destroyed me but it somehow disappeared."Who do you think took care of that?", He took care of himself. "And when Jimmy wanted bring you down before you could even get behind the camera, who do you think stopped him?", Again he pointed at himself."I see something special in you Drake, I always have",I thought about his words for a long moment, believing everything he just said."Fine you have got a deal", I stuck my hand out to seal the deal."We will talk soon", He whispered when Jimmy and the other guy came walking out of the conference room. Then he winked at me and added in a louder voice."I think you making a huge mistake, Drake",Fighting the urge, I shook my head and stepped into the elevator, turning to find Mike staring
"I'm so sorry Lynn. I honestly didn't see that coming and I never in a million years would have thought that he would know anything about us","It's fine Luis, I'm fine", I marched down to the corner of the street to get as far as way from that club."How the hell do we order an Uber in London?",Luis came up to me and wrapped up his hand around me."Hey", He whispered.My nerves were all the place but I fought to calm them down as I turned my attention to my best friend.Even though I felt completely humiliated back there, I couldn't stop thinking about Drake and how I will always defend him. "He doesn't deserve that Luis", I blew out and then laughed like a crazy person. "And as crazy as it sounds, I don't care what he does for a living. I want him even though my parents are Catholics. I want him more than I have ever wanted anyone, Luis",A huge grin appeared on his lips as he chuckled. "I'm so glad to hear that Lynn", He pulled his phone out and showed me something. "A friend of m
There matching eyes made me wonder if they were related but that wasn't important right now. What was important was the fact that I was about to pass the hell out. This was the last thing that I expected to see when I knocked on Drake's door and it only reminded me of what the truth was. Drake was a porn star and I wasn't enough for him. I will never measure up to women like this. They were all absolutely stunning and I was mediocre, at best.I didn't say any word, I just turned and nearly took off, running across the lawn, wanting to get the hell away from them as quickly as I could. Tears began to blur my vision and because of my panicked steps, I tripped over and landed on the ground as I cursed beneath my breath."Lynn",Every hair stood at the end of my neck at the sound of Drake's voice. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe."Are you okay?", He asked leaning forward to help me stand up but my instincts had a mind of their own. I swatted at his hands and stood up on my own, afraid
"Yes we need to talk, your place or mine?", I asked.A small smile tugged at Drake's lips but it quickly died when he saw me glaring at him. "Yours. Dakota is still here and I think we will need some privacy for what we need to talk about","Agreed", I said. "Come over after seven", Then I turned and matched back across the lawn to my front door. Seven would be here quick and I needed to get my head wrapped around that was going to take place tonight. It isn't going to be easy but it needs to be done.~~~~~DRAKE'S POV.Watching Lynn walk away and not run after her was the most hardest thing I have ever had to do. I wanted to run after her. I really did but there was a part of me that told me to put up. She just got done slapping the hell out of me and I knew she was still hurt and angry.The fact that she is even giving me a chance to explain myself is amazing. Most women would tell me to fuck off and never speak to me again. But Lynn was different. She had the right to be pissed th
