Chapter twenty three

Drake's POV

Immediately 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 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?I took out my phone and texted her.I hope she is okay, I hope she has had her breakfast, I hope she is not bored, I hope she is not drinking herself to death.Calm down Drake or you gonna get high blood pressure.She is fine, she is always fine.Nothing will happen to her.

I sighed the moment she replied as my heart jumped up and down I excitement.I wish she could see how I was giggling like a fool just seeing her text.When I got informed that the dress had been delivered, I couldn't wait to hear her response.Was she happy?Did she love it.I texted excitedly but no reply.Doesn't she love black?Was the dress horrible?

Congratulations Drake, you have finally blew it.You can't even buy a dress right.I raked my fingers through my hair nervously.I know she would hate me for standing her up tonight but she will definitely hate me for my poor taste in dresses.

Pretty doll: Sorry I was having my breakfast.How could I hate a dress that I have always wished to have?Thank you so much Drake.

I
"Yes!!!!" I screamed excitedly only to earn a weird look from the air hostess.

"Is everything okay sir?" She beamed

"Let's just say, I made her happy and that's all that matters..." I winked at her and continued chatting with my Jemima. As I waited for her to send me a photo in that dress, I dozed off staring at her photos in Instagram.She was not my type of woman, I get how she is invading my thoughts.
"Sir?" "Sir?" I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms.

"We have landed sir.Welcome to Los Angeles..." The air hostess smiled.

"Okay." I smiled, shoved my phone inside my jeans pocket and got out of the plane.When I reached the arrival curb, I found Jimmy waiting for me.The only son of mom's bestfriend which automatically made us best of buddies too."Bro?" I called out and he turned to me excitedly

"Who do we have here? The mighty Drake." We did our signature greeting before walking to the parking lot.

"I introduce you to my newest baby..." He stated the moment we walked over to a range rover."It seems the old lady is keeping you well..." I teased.

"I make sure she is satisfied in bed..." He winked and we both got into the car laughing.Jimmy moved to Los Angeles when he was eighteen years old and got married to this lonely desperate rich 50-year old woman who was in need of love.That's how he became , a young millionaire and with time a well known web developer.If that's not luck then what do we call it? Unlike me who is stuck between a crazy woman and a sweet girl who brings peace in my chaotic life, a father who doesn't approve my career and a life which I should live according to how I want people to see me.What is my life?

"How is your mum, I have really missed her..."

"She is good bro. As always she is making big money moves.If father doesn't watch out, she is gonna be richer than him..." I spoke out in confidence, feeling proud of my momma..

"You two still don't get along?"

"He is as stubborn as always..." I replied dryly.

"So tell me about life? It's been long bro.Almost one year without seeing each other."

"Dramatic as always.I meet this girl who I can't stop thinking about but as usual she has to be the other woman.You know I can't leave Cardi, she is mad and a phycopath." I sighed, raking my fingers through my hair.

"I saw she was robbed. Are you sure it's not a publicity stunt? The Cardi I know would do anything for attention..."
"I know bro but if I didn't come, I would have another drama to deal with..."
"So who is this other woman? I would like to see this girl that has gotten you crazy as hell.Is she a model, actress, a daughter of a prominent person?" He asked curiously and I just laughed silently at him.SHe is none of the above bro.

"She is a baker..."
