'The Star basketball players Drake and Wayne were met with an accident. Wayne is conscious under medical report while there is still no word about Drake, stay tuned to this channel and we will bring you more information..."
I couldn't comprehend it. This wasn't my voice shouting.Arrghhh!! Not my Drake!, God no!.I ran to the room and picked my purse in a bolt speed."Taxi!! , Taxi!"

Chapter TwoJemima's POV"Jemima calm down or else you will get a heart attack!" My bestfriend Vee warned me."How I am supposed to be calm?It's 8 o'clock already and Kane is not here.What if he stands me up?" I stammered trying to calm my nerves which seemed close to impossible.Bee had to deliver a classic yellow cake with chocolate frosting to a certain college party and I didn't want her to be late."Vee, just go I will close up the shop. You know we need to save up as much as we can. I begun with my lectures which she hated. "Don't start with your lectures or I am going to get a migraine.I have like two hours before the party begins.Calm down short woman."
Chapter ThreeDrake's POVI was drinking in silence by the counter when the girl from earlier came and sat beside me.She folded one leg over the other dangling her high heels.She ordered the first tequila shot and downed it the moment the bartender placed it Infront of her.He refilled it right away and she proceeded to down that as well. She had downed almost seven glasses when I held her hand."That's enough!" I told the bartender who just nodded."I am the one paying right?So I will drink as much as I want." She yelled and pulled her hand from my grip."If you drink this much, how are you going to get home?"I asked
Chapter FourJemima's POVI felt like I was lying on top of something warm and cossy which for sure wasn't my tiny bed.I opened my eyes only to find myself in a beautiful room.I felt like l could lie on that queen size bed forever but how did I get here?Only drug dealers, cult, royalty and of course rich kids afford such a place. But I am surrounded with broke people, none of my friends are ballers.Then what am I doing here?I could my heart racing so fast.I peeped inside the duvet and I had on a white to shirt.But I wasn't in pain, in fact I have never slept so peaceful."Did they take my kidney?" I begun talking to myself.I touched my abdomen and there was no stitches."Do they want to ofter me as a sacrifice?"I said a simple prayer as tears streamed down my face."God I am a good girl, let me not die like this. know I shouldn't have trusted tha
Chapter FiveJemima's POVI got back to sleep after he left only to wake up with the sound of the doorbell. "Stop ringing the doorbell..." I pleading before shoving a pillow over my face hope it would stop.But it seemed the person on the door was persistent. I staggered trom the bed, cursing the person on the door beneath my nose. When I walked in into the living room, I begun to look around and forgot Someone was at the door.There was a huge photo of a soaring eagle, glamorous chandelier, coffered ceiling, classy black sofas was busy looking around when I heard the doorbell again. Sweet Lord, I forgot.I face-palmed myself."Who is it?" I asked, my hand already on the door knob"It's the pizza yoU ordered." I twisted the door knob and opened it."Here is your pizza!" He offered me a half smile."Thank you...""My tip?"

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,
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
