Chapter Six
Drake's POV
After practice, I couldn't help but laugh remembering the crazy night and morning I have had.For once in a while I was excited to go home.It actually took me by surprise that she didn't recognise me.I can finally be friends with someone who doesn't care about my status.How can a girl be weird, funny and crazy at the same time?Jemima you are something you know.
"Why are you so happy bro?" Wayne my bestfriend squeezed my shoulder.
"What? I am just happy..." I looked away embarassingly.
"Who is she? Another one night stand I don't know about" He looked at me curiously.
"It's none of your business...." I replied dryly.
"Since when don't you tell me about your one night stands"
"See you tomorrow guys, practice is over." Coach Josh shouted and we all cheered before dispersing to the changing room.
"No, I have to know what's making you happy.It's been a while since I saw you smile.Since Cardi went to California one month ago, you have been gloomy..."
"I am just happy.No one night stand, no nothing...." I said in almost a loud whisper and walked past him to the changing rooms.I quickly took a warm shower and changed into a pair of blue skinny jeans and a white t-shirt.
"Hey Drake, don't feel like a hero just because you scored a one goal in the Olympics..." Matt shouted behind me.
I never understand why Matt doesn't want to move on from the past.Cardi chose me.He should put on his man pants and stop acting like a moody angry little girl.
I turned around to face him and faked a smile,"Matt just get over it.Carsi is my girl and the sooner you understand that, the better..."
"You stole her from me Drake, you bought her love with your stupid money and status." He cussed out.
"Matt, bought or not she is mine..." I winked at him and smiled evilly. He charged to where I was standing and pushing me back but I only staggered.He was ready to pounce on me but his bestfriend Adams held him back
"Matt you should stop being a chicken..."
"Drakeone of these days, I am going to hit where it hurts..."
"I will be waiting Matt.But don't be too confident..." I saluted him and left the changing room.
I really miss my Cardi, the world seems so dull without her.All I have with me is her scent on my bed and t-shirts.We chat almost everyday but it's different when she is beside me. She has this way of making my life colourful and beautiful.Not only was she beautiful but smart and confident too.When I started courting her, I didn't know Matt also wanted her.I came to find out after we had gone for our vacation in Bahamas....I had already fallen in love with her and I couldn't imagine my life without her.I can't wait for her to come back, nothing feels the same.How can I be far away from someone that makes me feel complete.Wayne snapped his fingers on my face and dragged me back to reality.
"Lost in thoughts again?"
"I just miss Cardi.I wish she comes back soon..."
"We can go at your place and have some beer." Wayne suggested and I nodded when it dawned to me Jemima is in my apartment.Sh*t, I almost forgot.
"I remembered I have to go home, my mum wants to see me.Next time bro..." Before he could say anything, I begun walking away.I passed over the grocery shop and supermarket on my way home and did some shopping.I hope Jemima is hanging in there alright and hasn't spent the whole afternoon crying over her ex.
Before he could say anything, I begun walking away. I passed over the grocery shop and supermarket on my way home and did some shopping.I hope Jemima is hanging in there alright and hasn't spent the whole afternoon crying over her ex. When I walked into the apartment, it was silent.I placed the shopping on the kitchen counter and walked to the living room where I saw the pizza box was still full.
My white t-shirt she had on was lying on the floor.I ran to her room and she wasn't there.How could she leave without telling me? I looked around for a goodbye note but nothing.I walked angrily towards the door when I stepped on one of her heels...Ouch! If her heels are here then where did she go?
I didn't give her the spare key and the door was locked.Or did she jump from the balcony?
"Calm down Ethan, you live on the tenth floor.No person in her right mind would jump." My subconscious mind laughed at me.I reached for my phone ready to call her when I remembered I don't have her number.Just great, this girl wants to kill me with worry.I walked into my bedroom and heard some music playing in the bathroom.
I ran into the bathroom and found her asleep in the bathtub.She had a bottle of red wine in a hand and her phone was lying on the floor.I slowly took the bottle of wine from her hand and placed it on the floor
"Jemima?" I shook her lightly but she didn't respond. I felt her pulse and sighed.She was still breathing. Thanks heavens I arrived home early today or else she would have drowned in the bathtub.I took her in my arms from the bathtub and realised she was nakedSweet heavens what kind of temptations are these?
I took her in my arms from the bathtub and realised she was naked.Sweet heavens what kind of temptations are these?
I carried her carefully to her room and dried her up.I later put her tiny body in a bathrobe and covered her up in a duvet. She looks so broken and hurt in her sleep. I stood from the bed ready to leave when she held my hand, "Kane please don't leave.I love you so much..." Tears begun to roll down her cheeks. Poor thing!
"Jemima wake up its Drake..." I shook her lightly.
"Don't leave m Kane, please..." She freed my hand and got back to sleep.
"Sleep peaceful dear one..." I pressed a kiss on her forehead and left. I was busy cleaning the mess in my bathroom when her phone begun ringing.First I ignored it thinking it wasn't important until it rang again.
I checked who it was and Kane was the name on the screen.Jemima doesn't deserve a guy that puts tears in her eyes.I sighed and composed myself before picking up the call, "Hello Jemima is asleep..." And I disconnected the call. I know Jemima is going to kill me when she wakes up.
Just when I was about to place the phone on the sink, it pinged with a message.
Kane:You are a sl*t Jemima We just broke up yesterday and you are going out with another man.
I felt anger bubbling inside me that I could explode..How can he call her a sl*t?Does he know the tears she has shed because of him.I won't spare him.I dialled his number and cursed him as I waited for that jerk to answer the call.
"Don't be a coward.You don't dump a girl and then call her a sl*t..." I scolded him the moment he said hello.
"And who are you?" I could sense anger in his tone.
"If you can't keep her happy then stop calling...."
"Drake who are you talking to on my phone?" Jemima asked behind me...
Chapter SevenJemima's POVI couldn't hide my smile after he called me beautiful.I lifted my eyes from his chest and found him looking at me.I don't know if I will ever get used to his attractiveness.We were lost into each other's eyes until I turned my head to break the contact.It was electrifying.When we got into the room I felt like I was inside a basketball field.I thought my brother was obsessed, it seems Drake was worse."Welcome to my solitude your royal Highness..." He placed me down carefully."I thought my brother was a basketball holic but I think you are worse Drake ..."There was a ball, jersey, shoes and some trophies and awards in a display case.The floor was green and looked like a basketball field.The wall Infront of me was a huge image showing a scene of a basketball game.Everything screamed basketball in this room.The wall arts, throw pillows, curtains,basketball goal bed.Da
Chapter EightJemima's POVI tried not to think how dumb and embarassing that moment was.There was no way I was ever going to forget it."I am so sorry..."I replied in a low voice." I didn't mean...""It's okay..." I blurted in."Can I please...""I know it's embarrassing and disgusting.I think I am still intoxicated with wine.When I am drunk I can be a little crazy..." I interrupted him again."Jemima?""Don't say anything.It's oka..." He placed his finger on my lips cutting me off.For a moment I got to drown into those beautiful eyes.It was magical."You should stop kissing me without my consent.Don't use me as a rebound, it's not good for either me or you."No words came out of my mouth.I just pulled back.What has gotten into you Jemima?You can't go around pressing your lips on other

Chapter TenDrake's POVI woke up, switched on the lights and turned around to check on Jemima only to find her space empty."Jemima?" I called out walking towards the door when I realised the large glass door that allows you to go to the balcony was open.I walked to the balcony and stood beside her.She was so busy on her phone that she didn't notice me."What are you doing out here so late at night?""It's so calm.I can't remember the last time I had a quiet and peaceful night..." She turned to look at me."Why are you awake?" She asked."I woke up to check up on you and you weren't there...""Don't worry Amy, I am not stupid to kill myself or throw myself over the balcony..." He chuckled and got back to her phone"I hope you are not texting Kane!" I said in a commanding tone and she just shook her head"You know he doesn't de
Chapter ElevenDrake's POVIt felt really awkward and I didn't know what to do.So I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep."You are a bad actor Drake...""Why are you up so early?" I faked a yawn."Your acting skills are so terrible...Your face muscles were so tense..." She pulled away like half of her body wasn't on top of me."Jemima my body is so sore.How do you sleep like you are in a karate class?""I forgot to tell you, I sleep so horribly.I am not the type who sleeps like statues at night""Go get ready, I am taking you somewhere...""Where?""Just go get dressed Jemima." I kissed her on the forehead and left for the bathroom.I stood under the icy cold shower water, my hands on the glass trying so hard to shake Jemima's thoughts off my mind.As every second passes by, I can't stop thinking about her."Jemima get off
Chapter TwelveJemima's POVMy eyes were stuck on the window but I was lost in thoughts.I couldn't get the scene from earlier from my head.I felt a slash on my heart when he pushed me off him and ran to the bathroom.I can bet on my life it wasn't his sister on the phone.He looked tensed and scared when I walked into his room.It was like he was doing something wrong.I didn't like what I was feeling, I have just known him for three days.What if he is dating?Apart of me tried to convince me it wasn't my business while the other part prayed so hard not to be true.My sadness was an ocean of unknowable depths.I leaned my head on the passenger's seat and closed my eyes when my phone pinged with a message.I sat upright quickly to check and it was from Vee.I leaned my head on the passenger's seat and closed my eyes when my phone pinged with a message.I sat upright quickly to
Chapter ThriteenDrake's POVI couldn't help but feel guilty.She didn't deserve all the lies I have been telling her.But at times you need to be a little selfish, I get to be myself with her and I don't think am ready to give up on that."You won Drake." I wasn't even excited to win.I know she lost intentionally to make me happy."I know you lost intentionally?""Was it that obvious?""Yeah..." I replied dryly and threw the controller on the floor."Why are you sad and stressed? Tell me maybe I can be able to help?""Trust me Jemima, it's not that serious...""I thought we are friends.""I got this Jemima.Trust me...""Why don't we drink? I feel a little tensed up too...""Are you sure you can handle a glass of wine?" I teased her and she ended up slapping my arm."Douch
Chapter FourteenDrake's POVOne moment I am looking at her and the next I am pressing my lips on hers.I grabbed her body as we kissed and I couldn't get enough of it.By each second, I wanted more.We kissed for what felt like eternity when I finally pulled back.Our breaths were rough and fast."Can we have s*x?""What?" She breathed out.I ripped her t-shirt and her eyes widened.I slipped my hands inside the ripped t-shirt and c*ressing her back before unhooking her bra."What are you doing."She stared in confusion but I didn't careI did it.I had s*x with her.I didn't care what she felt or wanted.The anger inside me was poison and Jemima was the drug to make me forget it.The passion inside me was like fire.Electrifying and intense.I slowly placed her down and put on my boxers and jeans.I opened the faucet and rinsed my face and hands as she stood there her hands on her breasts.I to
