Chapter twenty four 2

I stood up from the sofa and tried calling Jemima, pacing around the room..I know I am not good for you Jemima but it's worse without you.I don't understand what I am feeling because it so unfamiliar but all I know is that I want so close by me always.You make me complete.

"What's up bro? are you okay?" Jimmy asked.

"Jemima is not in my place.She said she would wait for me, she can't leave me..." I stammered.

"Calm down! She is probably mad at you..."

"Why is she not picking up?This is the fifth time I am calling..."I felt like I was almost getting a panic attack.

"Bro, I think you finally fell in love..." Jimmy teased me.

"What rubbish?"

"You are panting, trembling and pale by the mere thought of her leaving you."

"She is different .My Jemima understands me, With her I can be myself..." I shook him vigorously that I am sure he felt dizzy.

"Then why not chose her?" He asked after I freed him from my grip.

"It's the same with how you can't leave Hannah because she has made you who you are..."

"Good point."I tried reaching her but all in vain.in the nick of almost giving up, she answered.My fiftieth call actually.

"Hello..."

"Jemima, my pretty doll why are you not taking my calls? I have been worried sick."

"Okay..."

"Where are you? I delivered another surprise at home but you weren't there..."

"My place..."

"You said you would wait, why did you leave?"

"How is Los Angeles? Is Cardi feeling okay? She needs you, I don't.Never call me or look for me again.I am done." She yelled before hanging up.Shock gripped me as I dropped the phone on the floor.I felt a tear drip on my hoodie but I didn't care.

How did she find out about Cardi? I thought I was discreet.I slammed my fist on the wall angrily, cursing the press and the paparazzis.

"What did she say bro?" Jimmy held me back from hitting the wall.

"I need to go back home right now."

"What about Cardi?"

"Do I look like I give a damn?I am almost losing my Jemima.Trust me there is something in her that I will never find in someone else..."

"Okay bro.We will first nurse your bruise."

"I don't have time..." I thundered and wriggled to free myself from him.I charged towards the door when Lia and Cardi walked in.

"What happened to your hand?" Cardi asked worriedly.

"I am going back home " I gritted my teeth.I walked past her when she held my hand.

"What is wrong with you now?" She stuttered.

"Something came up..."

"You are lying...."

"That's your problem...."

"In how many forms do you want to break my heart?When are you going to love me the way I need to be loved?"

I twisted my hand from her grip and walked to the guest room to get my bag.Cardi it was a bad idea to run after me.

"You are not leaving.What will people say?"She yelled.

"Is that all you think about? Do you what I had to sacrifice for this?" I yelled back.Lord help me to keep my frustration on check or I am going to strangle her.Anger was growing inside me like tumour.

"Get this straight Drake, you are only mine.I would rather die than lose you..." She gave me a deadly glare.I pushed her aside and walked out of the guest room only to find Jimmy and Lia standing worriedly by the door.

"Bye Lia," I hugged her, "Visit me sometime.We have a lot of catching up to do..." I whispered onto her ear.

"Bro, do you mind taking me to the airport?" I asked Jimmy and he nodded wordlessly.

"Drake?"

I heard Cardi call behind me but I ignored her and headed downstairs.Nobody is gonna stop me from making things right with my Jemima.My Jemima am coming to make things right.

Jemima's POV

I wish I hadn't picked his call.It's funny how hearing his voice made me smile even thou he was the reason I was sad.I tried acting like this independent woman who doesn't need a man and pressed my eyelids harder but my tears still managed to find their way out.

I lied Drake.You don't have to be with Cardi, I need you.She is a model, she will have guys courting her the second you dump her.I didn't know how to not think about him.Instead of retreating back to bed, I sat upright and begun going through Cardi's Instagram.She was a socialite model with a huge social media following.Even in my dreams Drake would never leave that for me.I bit my lip not to cry but they dripped from my eyes anyway.

How can I feel so empty for losing something that wasn't mine in the first place.I searched for any updates about Drake's stay in LA but there was none.I retreated back to bed, pulled the duvet over my head and sobbed silently.I really miss him.I know I shouldn't but I can't control it.

"Come on short woman, have something.Even if it's just a glass of water..." Vee pleaded, peeling the duvet from my skin.

"I am not hungry..." I grabbed the duvet and pulled it over my head.

"You haven't eaten anything since yesterday..."The thought of eating made me nauseous.

"I will eat later..."

"Short woman life has to go on.We have an order and the bakery needs you..."Bakery wasn't my priority right now.I needed to get rid of this heartache first or else I will burn the bakery shop down.

"I know you can do it.Just let me be..."After I was sure her footsteps were unheard, I kicked the duvet off my body and began going through both their Instagram pages.Drake had posted a photo and he looked happier unlike me where sadness was sucking the life out of me.

Why is there no news about that couple yet? It's been a day already.Or did they decide to get married on an abandoned island or is Cardi pregnant and they have decided to take time from the world.

That's silly Jemima.That witch looks like the type to not dream of having kids since it will be accompanied with gaining some pounds.Yes, I know what they are doing.They are lost in each other's arms and nothing else matters.Why did I not think of this earlier?
