Chapter thirty two

Jemima's POV

Waking up and seeing the love of your life lying peaceful next you is priceless.I couldn't help but stroke his cheek.Words are not enough to describe how handsome and attractive this man is.I am sure when been created, God poured some sprinkles and everything pretty in his mud before molding him.He was perfectly carved for the human beings to admire.I bent forward so that I could kiss him when he opened his eyes.

"Hey doll face?"He pulled me against his chest and wrapped his arms around me.

"Why are you up so early?" He yawned.

"I wanted to admire you..."

"That's sweet of you..." He pressed his lips softly on my forehead that my face got heated

"That's sweet of you..." He pressed his lips softly on my forehead that my face got heated.I will never get used to this.I have fallen for you harder than a slip on black ice.

"What time is it?" He reached for his phone on the nightstand and cursed the moment he saw it was nine o'clock.

"Damn, I will be late for practice.I knew drinking so much yesterday was a bad idea.I feel like my head will explode soon..." He kissed the top of my head and got out of bed to get ready.

"I will prepare breakfast!" I said dryly and he just nodded entering the bathroom.I wish I would have for myself for only today but am not that lucky.Am I?I was preparing scrambled eggs on the pan when he walked in looking all fresh.He had worn a pair of blue tattered jeans with a white turtle neck and in his hand he was holding his black leather jacket.

"Wow, it's smells sweet..." He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek,"But I am afraid I can't eatI am running late pretty doll..."

"Not even coffee..."

"I am sorry..." He turned me around and captured my lips into a kiss only to pull back when I tried to deepen the kiss.

"I am running late.See you later."

"Will you come later?" I gripped the t-shirt I was wearing hard and swallowed the panic threatening to climb my chest.My chest felt tight just thinking about what happened to me, the last time I was in this apartment.

"I promise..."

"Okay..." I whispered with uncertainty in my voice.

"Hey?" His hand encircled mine like he had sensed my fear,"I am coming back to you in the evening.Because it's only by your side I feel home..."

"I trust you..."

"Good..."After he left, I took a bath, cleaned his messy room, watched an episode of Game of thrones but boredom was killing me.The apartment felt cold and deserted without him here.

Girlfriend why don't you have a glass of wine and dance around like you own the place.My inner goddess whispered to me.

Or she can ransake around the house for any clues of Drake's cheating? She hasn't seen him in three weeks.My subconscious mind sneered.

No, thanks I will go with the latter.I rolled my eyes at the both of them.I wish you would not have come to life b*tch.My subconscious mind groaned at my inner goddess.It's a high time the bitch gets confident and naughtier.My inner goddess winked at me and I just shook my head.I scrolled through my music playlist and just found the perfect song to listen on repeat.House on fire by Sia.

Baby, I'm a house on fire
And I want to keep burning
Boy, I'm going up in flames
And you're to blame
Yeah, you're to blame
Baby, I'm a house on fire
And I want to keep burning
I wanna keep burning
I wanna keep burning
I wanna keep burning
Baby, I'm a house on fire
I wanna keep burning
I wanna keep burning
I wanna keep burning
Baby, I'm a house on fire

I danced in the kitchen like an incompetent freak with a wine glass in my hand.

Love me, to the beat of a drum, to the beat of a drum, yeah
Love me, till the walls give in, yeah
Love me, to the beat of a drum, to the beat of a drum, yeah
Love me, I don't wanna say, babe
Babe, oh I want to drink you in
Like oxygen, like oxygen


It was like I was radiating from inside out.I was up in flames because of Drake's.I was like a house on fire which wanted to keep burning.Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder and I don't know if I freaked out or it was my defensive mechanism doing his job overtime.The glass flew out of my hand and wine splattered all over him.

I stared at his wine t-shirt in horror unable to formulate any words as I looked at Daniel Harrison.This month's cover of Forbes magazine.He was number three on the list of top businessmen under 30 in the world.You probably wondering how I know.I have been stalking the Harrisons family for the longest time now.I need to know everything about Drake.Come on mouth, even if it's gibberish.He was about to speak when his phone started blaring with music.

"I am sorry..." I mouthed as he began speaking on the phone.

"It's okay..." He mouthed back.He was captivatingly attractive.Perfect nose and beautiful lips.He looked more of a pin up centrefold model placed on each to disrupt normal functioning of female bodies.He sounded like a commanding, responsible and Hella s*xy businessman as he talked on the phone.His voice was steady, authoritative and steady.

"Make sure everything is perfect before the conference meeting tomorrow..."

"Don't forget to cancel my meetings this whole afternoon..."

"I hope you have already given Master Harrison the audit reports for the Florida condominiums project..."

"Later..."
