Chapter seventeen
Jemima's POV
I didn't know what to feel anymore.The pain I felt would not let go.I felt that kind of hurt that cuts right back through the protective layers of maturity.I opened the faucet and rinsed my face, trying so hard to resist the tears that were pricking my eyes.How could he lie to me? I thought we were friends.I thought he trusted me.The silly thing is that when I saw him everything seemed whole, whimsical and perfect.
Here I was in the changing room missing to hug and kiss him with a feeling of betrayal that sat on my guts with so much fire burning slow.
His words and actions are parallel to each other.The moments we shared, were they also a lie?The untold tears he wiped from my eyes, was he faking affections? I was confused.It's like I was rubbing salt into my open wounds just thinking about everything.I wish everything was just a nightmare and when I wake up he would beside me holding m
Chapter eighteenJemima's POV"Are you okay? You haven't touched your drink..." Josh asked I downed my drink and answered,"I am okay"After every one minute, I kept looking at my phone waiting for Drake's reply.Was he okay? Is he ignoring me?Did he get bored with me?I was restless.I felt sad and lonely without him by my side.I yearned for his touches and kisses.I know he lied to me but screw it.He gave me a bracelet and roses that means he is sorry.He keeps kissing me, that means he feels something for me."Don't rise your hopes up..." My subconscious mind mocked."Are you still waiting for Drake to reply?" Vee whispered onto my ear."Yeah, do you think he is okay?" I asked in a worried tone."He is the Drake.He must be okay" She squeezed my hand.I placed my phone on the table and decided to focus on having fun.After few shots,Jayjah and I headed to the dancing floor.Vee and Josh nee
Chapter nineteenJemima's POVI was surprised with Drake's behaviour.Why was he acting like a jealous asshole."What are you trying to do..." He slammed the door to his bedroom and pinned me on it.My hands above my head."Is Matt your date? Did he ask you out?" He cussed out and my body trembled.He was so mad, madder than that night he called me Cardi."What are you talking about?""Why are you wearing such a short dress? Do you want to turn in every guy in this party ?Have you seen how they are looking at you? Probably every guy in that party has undressed you in their minds..." He slammed his hand on the door and I flinched."Why are you doing this?" His hand went to my throat and began rubbing his lips on mine, "I am the only one with the right to see your body.Nobody else, not even your useless ex.You belong to me."It worked Jemima, he got
Chapter TwentyDrake's POVShe didn't even ask questions.She removed the turtle neck and the pair of sweatpants and threw them on the sofa."Lie on top of the table..." I demanded and she was hesitant."I told you to lie on top of that table, damnit!!!" I yelled and she flinched."Why should I lie on top of the table?""You wanted to lie there when Matt asked you too.Why are you acting like you don't understand what I am saying?" I clenched my fists so hard just by the mere thought Matt's lips on her body. She lied on top of the table and just looking at her I felt powerless.I knelt beside her and buried my face on her neck."What did I tell you about flirting with Matt?" I asked furiously."He is so handsome..." She chuckled."Do you know what you saying?" My hand went to her throat and began choking her but she just won't stop laughing
Chapter Twenty oneJemima's POVWe stood in the middle of the garden filled with different beautiful flowers but mostly roses under the full moon locked into each other's arms."I will never leave you Jemima.I would rather be alone than be with anyone else..." Drake whispered softly to me."How can I ever leave you Drake? We are meant to be together forever.You will always be my only addiction...""Thank you for coming into my life Jemima..." He lifted his face from my neck and rubbed his lips with mine."Everytime I am so close to you, I can't control myself." He pressed his lips against mine and before he could kiss me I felt a thud and my butt was in pain.I rubbed my eyes angrily, cursing beneath my nose when I realised I was in Drake's room and on the floor.Did I just fall?I shook my head, laughing at the silly me.Where is he thou? I loo
Chapter Twenty twoJemima's POVSilly blog post.How can they say something so stupid? How can Drake be on his way to Los Angeles where as he should have dinner with me later? Damn bloggers always telling lies for some few coins."Vee, why are you shocked? They are just stupid lies..." I said almost in a loud whisper."What if it's true?" She asked in a worried tone."I trust Drake.He promised he won't lie to me again and I believe him..." I yelled at her."But where there is smoke, there is fire...""Vee I thought he was your celebrity crush.Everytime I talked ill about him, you defended him. My Drake, wouldn't lie to me..." I could tears burning in my eyes"I care about you and I don't want you to be hurt...." She said calmly, trying to take hold of my hands but I drew them away..."I think you should leave Vee...We will talk when I get h
Chapter Twenty threeDrake's POVImmediately I got to the mansion, I took the family's private jet so as i could get to Los Angeles.I felt bad leaving Jemima all in the dark and full of hopes.Once again she believed my empty promises, once again she had faith in me when I didn't deserve it.I felt a sense of belonging flow through me as I looked at her photo.A photo I took while she was sleeping.Seeing how peaceful she slept, there and then I knew I would do anything to always put a smile on her faceI wish she was here with me, held in my arms as I kiss her like there is no tomorrow with in our fingers intertwined.She was my certainty in the The emptiness inside me was killing me.I needed my Jemima, to feel her arms around me, to see that beautiful smile that brightens my day.Why can't I stop thinking about her? What's this thing that is always drawing me to her?The emptiness inside me was killing me.I needed my Jemima, to feel her arms around me, to se
Chapter Twenty fourDrake's POVThe thought of her been mad at me, made me quiver. Please don't give up on me Jemima.I checked her WhatsApp but she wasn't online. I felt like my heart would explode out of fear of what might happen."Why do you look so worried?" Cardi asked."It's none of your business...""Since you came, you have been in a bad mood. Did I do anything wrong?"Seriously is she a fool? Is it not obvious I didn't want to come to LA and bail out in my Jemima.I just rolled my eyes on her and continued to read Jemima's twenty messages.They were filled with collectiveness and patience.The tears were making my eyes pepperish, the more I read the sadder and guiltier I became.I didn't ask for this life Jemima.The thought of losing you drives me crazy."Sir, where are we going?" The driver asked."We dropping her at her suite then you taking me home..."&nbs
Chapter Twenty fiveJemima's POVMy jaw dropped the moment I saw him.Wasn't he supposed to be in LA? What was he doing here? No, this must be just a dream.For seconds, we just stared into each other's eyes and didn't utter a word.I shook my head with my eyes closed and when I opened them, he was still there smiling he is really here.I am not hallucinating."Hey Jemima, why do you look shocked? It's me Drake..."I looked at him one more time and realised he had in the same outfit as that night we met in that club.The cap and the glasses made him look more like my Drake and not the star player.Seeing him like this brought a sharp pain altogether.I recalled how he lied to me about his identity and since then it has always been one lie after the other.He had the box with had that dress he bought me on his left hand and a bonquet of roses on the other hand."What do you want Drake?" I tremble
