Chapter twenty two

Jemima's POV



Silly 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 home..." I walked to the door and opened it,"Please leave..."

When she got to the door, she paused for a while about to say something but I looked away.My Drake would never lie to me, he promised.When she left, I slammed the door and slumped on the couch.I turned on the TV and watched some weird reality show as I waited for my Drake.Seconds became minutes became an hour became five hours but I still didn't give up.He said no matter what, I shouldn't be tired of waiting and I won't break that promise.The clock stroke midnight and there was still no sign of him.Maybe he is busy, he is a celebrity he has alot on his plate.I was tempted to have some wine but I didn't want to mess our dinner date.I wanted it to be perfect.

Bae:Hey Drake I am waiting for you.
This was like the twentieth text I have sent him and he hasn't replied.Maybe his phone battery ran low. Shit happens.I had begun feeling sleepy and drowsy whenmy phone pinged with a message.I jumped out of the couch thinking it's from Drake only to find out it's from Vee.

BFF:How was the dinner date?I am waiting for you.

Me: has still not arrived but I know he is just busy.

BFF:Or maybe he is on a flight going to Los Angeles.

Me:Don't ruin my mood Vee.I know he will come.Goodnight.

I switched off the phone, lied on my left side on the sofa in a foetal position.I hugged a throw pillow tightly watching TV.Yes I watching but everything was completely blur.I just wanted my Drake beside me.I looked at the watch, it was 4am.Is he okay?Maybe he dozed off while working.Or is in danger. That explains why he is not replying my messages. I should inform the authorities.

I dialled 999 and a male with a husky voice answered.."Hello 911 squad, how can I help you?"

"I think Drake , the baskettballer is in danger. Look for him kindly and tell me his whereabouts..."

"Young girl, do you think you are the first to call asking for him? If you want to see him so much, go and watch him as he plays. Don't bother me again..."

"But..." The fool hanged up.I stood up from the sofa and began pacing around the living room.Drake can't lie to me, I know he will come .He said I wait for him and that's what I will do even if it takes forever.I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water when I heard the doorbell ring. I knew he wouldn't fail me, I knew he would never break the promise he made to his pretty doll.I placed the glass of water on the counter, wore my heels and ran to the door.I opened it excitedly only to see Vee standing on the other side."What do you want?"

"Here,"She handed me her phone,"open the link." She said in a commanding voice.I rolled my eyes, took the phone from her and clicked on the link.It was a video from Blogspot.

"Drake just landed and he is currently in the hospital with his girlfriend Cardi. Drake as always showing us that he is that perfect boyfriend every girl wishes to have..."Tears and tears sprung down my eyes as I staggered back and almost fell but Vee held me.

"Come and sit down..." She walked me to the sofa and sat close by me, her arm around my shoulder.I didn't attempt to wipe away my tears since I knew they wouldn't stop falling.Suddenly I see Drake and a girl walking out of the hospital and the paparazzis run towards them.She was like a goddess and Drake beside her looked like a god.They were a perfect match.What made me think no he would ever fall for a girl like me?

"Miss Cardi, how are you feeling?" One of the them asked.
