Chapter Twenty eight
Drake's POV
I don't know for what reason but I believe you will come.I might be the biggest as*hole in the universe but you always understand me.In my darkest moment, I think of you.In my sorrows, I need you.Even thou it seems hopeless to wait, I still believe.
I leaned on the wall beside the door, waiting for her who weirdly knew how to restore my sanity.I take another strong sip of whisky but it doesn't really dull the ache in my chest.Stupid whisky, you were supposed to help me forget this torture for a while if not a while please a few seconds would go a long way
I know she will come.I sighed biting my trembling lips.Second after second I would check my phone desperately.It was only thirty minutes later and I feel like it's eternity.She will come.She would never want to see me hurt or broken.
One hour later,Maybe she is just stuck in traffic.Maybe s
Chapter twenty nineDrake's POVI am tired of this life,It's like I am screaming and no one can hear me.I am suffocating.I am not angry but in pain.It's fucked up not to have control over your life.My life feels like a horror show.You don't know what it feels like.To be all smiley.But you are breaking deep inside.I staggered to the living room after throwing Chacha's crap over the balcony and slumped on the sofa.I am what's wrong,I keep hurting those dear to me.I felt tears spill down my face and I quickly wiped them away.How has she gotten under my skin so easily? I don't think I have ever felt all this before.At first it scared me but now I love the unfamiliar emotions am feeling.The emptiness when she is not around.How I feel like every ounce of my breathe has been taken from my lungs when she is around me.Or how I imagine the world comes to a standstill when she smiles or how her eyes shine lik
Chapter ThirtyJemima's POVI represent you three weeks of rejected calls, ignored messages and massive loneliness.I know of a person who is nothing but sadness and loneliness and that person is me.There is neither love or light in my life.Yeah, the sun rises but it has been ages since it shone on me.I know, that's how unfortunate I am.Come think of it, I deserve an award.The award for the biggest hypocrite and liar goes to Jemima.I may seem over Drake but only my pillow and I know the untold tears that explain the longingness in my heart. The distance between us was to make me forget him but it just made me realise that I love this son of a man.I don't know how it happened or when it happened but I love him.If only he would want me as I want him with fire and passion.If only I was never an option.If only he had eyes for me,If only.I felt tears burning behind my eyes but I refrained from crying.I continued w
Chapter Thirty oneJemima's POVAfter Josh cut the cake, he couldn't hide his excitement when he realised that I had baked his favourite. Red velvet ice-cream cake.Three layers of red velvet cake and two layers of homemade cheesecake ice cream sandwiched between the layers like he loves it."Thank you..." He mouthed me and I just winked.After the cake cutting was over.The MC appeared again on stage and announced the special guest of the night who was to render a love song.To everyone surprise, it was the Nicki Minaj a famous RnB singer was called on stage.As she walked gracefully on the stage, the room was filled with screams.She was indeed love.She began singing and the room was silent.Everyone seemed to be under her enchantment.I never understand how her voice shows off several pitches in one piece.It's amazing.She was on top on my favourite list until she called my Drake on stag
Chapter Thirty twoJemima's POVWaking up and seeing the love of your life lying peaceful next you is priceless.I couldn't help but stroke his cheek.Words are not enough to describe how handsome and attractive this man is.I am sure when been created, God poured some sprinkles and everything pretty in his mud before molding him.He was perfectly carved for the human beings to admire.I bent forward so that I could kiss him when he opened his eyes."Hey doll face?"He pulled me against his chest and wrapped his arms around me."Why are you up so early?" He yawned."I wanted to admire you...""That's sweet of you..." He pressed his lips softly on my forehead that my face got heated"That's sweet of you..." He pressed his lips softly on my forehead that my face got heated.I will never get used to this.I have fallen for you harder than a slip on
Chapter Thirty threeDrake's POVThis earth hold many beauties, treasures beyond my imagination but nothing compares to her.I thought I loved Cardi but I guess I felt indebted for all she has done for me.I can swear on my life that what I feel for Jemima seems like that thing called Love.Daniel said when in love you can't stop thinking about her.She even takes over your dreams and every second you just want to be close to her.I never thought I would be a victim of love.Does that mean I will start sobbing and acting all broken and vulnerable every time Jemima and I are not cool?Arrrrggh!!!Being in love sucks."You are all dismissed.Practice is over..." Coach Weiner shouted and we all screamed excitedly.Since we are so close to the new season, our coaches have been a little bit hard on us.But I don't blame them, I blame the pressure that comes from the Basketball federation."I can't feel my legs.Coach Josh has been more
Chapter Thirty fourJemima's enjoyingIt was enjoying the comfort of my soft pillow when I heard vigorous violent knocks.At first I thought it was a dream until I lazily opened my eyes.The knocks were continuous.F*ck!"Vee?" I called her softly only for her to pull the duvet over her head."Vee?" I shook her vigorously,"I think there is someone at the door...""What?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes vigorously."Can't you hear the knocks?""What time is it?" She yawned and looked at her phone."It's only 1am.I hope that person knocking like this is their house has a very important reason of waking us up" She rolled her eyes."Grab the bat and let's see who is there..." I suggested."What if it's a thief?""We beat him to death.""Grab the bat and let's
Chapter Thirty fiveJemima's POV"What do we do Jayjay, we are running out of options?" I asked in a concerned tone"Why are you worried? Tonight we will get to see that lousy greedy MP face to face and whether he likes it or not he has to listen to us.""What about Nick? He is dead, are we going just to sit and mourn? We need to go back to the streets...""Look at you all grown up.I can't lose anyone else little lioness.Plus I promised Josh that I won't put your life in danger ever again. You got shot, what if you died?""Nick died because of me and even without your help I am gonna avenge his death..." I cussed out."I don't care Jayjay" I could feel my insides churning with rage.I can barely sleep at night as the events of that day keep playing in my head in slow motion. I had Nick's blood on my hands and that fact was slowly killin
Chapter Thirty sixJemima's POVI needed a break from the paperwork piling higher and higher and so s*xily smiled ready to feed my Instagram family with my beauty.Since my interview last night, I have gained one hundred thousand followers. In this rate, I might consider being a social media influencer.I was stuck on either posting my selfie on my instastory or going live when my phone began blaring with music.Vee what a bad timing."What?" I answered in a bored tone."Good morning to you too rude girl. Since you started your internship, you are losing your manners .Or is it that you have a hundred and thirty followers now.." "No. I called to give you some bad news, Cardi is back in the country. I just wanted to give you a thumbs up so that you don't get caught off guard..." She stated and from the tone in her voice I was sure I hurt her feelings.If she only knew how much she means to me.
