Chapter thirty four 2

*****


I slowly opened my eyes squinting in attempt to sharpen the blurred images before me.I glanced around and took in the white colour schemed hospital room.


The room was silent apart from my heavy breathing.What happened? I shut my eyes to try remember when it all hit me with a bang.Damn! I got f*cking shot .Where is Nick He should be here beside me.The memory of how brutally he was beaten occupying my mind.I tried to sit up but there was a stinging pain from my arm.

"What are you trying to do?" Josh came running to me.

"Where is Nick?" I stammered.

"He is in a critical condition.What were you thinking?"

"I needed justice for my brother.He was beaten up yesterday..."

"You got shot Jemima, what if you died You are lucky it's not that serious..." He scolded me.

"Nick saved me.He got beaten up because of me..." Tears dripped from my eyes.

"Do you know how scared I was when I got a call that my sister is on Live News instigating people?" He held my hand in his.

"I can't lose you and An, you mean the world to me..." He added up in a hoarse voice.

"We just wanted to force change..."

"You two will have to learn to be selfish.I am working so hard for you guys so as you don't be nothing.I want you two to be something great in the future not fighting for people's rights..."

"I am sure if I was the one who got shot you would be in the streets..."

"Yeah but until then I don't ever want to see you on the streets." He said in a commanding tone.I was about to preach to him about sticking together as a community when we got interrupted.

"Hello?" Jordan flashed me a charming smile,"I hope I am not interrupting anything..."

"No sir, please come in..." I beamed

"This is my brother Josh and Josh this is Jordan King..." I added.

"Nice to meet you Josh..." They shook hands gracefully and his attention turned back to me.

"I thought you were smart and beautiful but I never thought you could be crazy and careless. What if you got killed?" I present to you another Josh.

"Tell her..." Josh backed him up.

"I was forcing change..." I said dryly.

"And look where you are now.I didn't literally believe it was you shouting on Live TV." Jordan shook his head in disappointment.

"Am I fired?"

"Of course not."I sighed in relief.

"I will give you guys a minute..." Josh stated and we all just nodded.

"Miss Jemima?"Jordan sat beside me and enfolded my hand between his," It's good fight for what's right but through the right channel."

"But my brother got beaten up yesterday."

"I know but what you did was reckless and stupid..."

"I was forcing change."

"That's an excuse Miss Jemima Job.I want my intern safe and sound..."

"I will give you guys a minute" Josh stated and we all just nodded.

"Miss Jemima Job"Jordan sat beside me and enfolded my hand between his," It's good fight for what's right but through the right channel."

"But my brother got beaten up yesterday."

"I know but what you did was reckless and stupid..."

"I was forcing change..."

"That's an excuse Jemima Job..I want my intern safe and sound..."

"I..."

"Jemima are you okay?" I was interrupted by Drake who slammed the door open with Daniel beside him.

"Are you okay?"He ran towards me and Jordan had no choice but to step back.

"Are you mad?" A tear fell on my hand,"Do you want to kill me?Do you know the torment I have been through?What were you thinking Jemima?"Before I could answer, he continued.

"I said I would fix everything then why would you want to leave me?"

"What if something bad happened to you?" He rested his head on my neck and I could feel it getting wet .

"Don't ever scare me like that.Without you I am nothing..."

"I am okay Drake.I just got shot..." I rubbed his back soothingly.I could see Jordan looking at us confusingly. I bet he didn't understand how a simple girl like me had such an effect on a celebrity like Drake.It happens brother.

"Jemima Job, we need to have a moment with you..." One of the police officers who were standing at the door requested.Drake pulled away and started charging towards them when Daniel held him back.

"A moment?One of you shot my Jemima..." He raged.Damn, I have never seen him so mad.

"Officers I am Jordan King, her boss.Can we sort this outside?There is no need to bother her, she has been through a lot already..."Jordan explained as he walked towards them.

"We just needed to interrogate her..."The other officer replied.

"Shut up fools..." Drake shouted.

"Daniel put him in check.Come, let's talk..." Jordan placed his arms around the police officers' shoulders and walked them out.

"Calm down Drake or you will get Jemima into more trouble..." Daniel shook Drake by the shoulders.

"Okay, let me go..."

When Daniel freed him, Drake walked back to me and sat beside me.

"I am glad you are okay..." He intertwined our fingers.

"Me too..."

"Jemima you ever give me a scare like that again and I will strangle you.I literally walked out of a meeting..." Daniel said standing beside Drake.

"I am sorry BFF..."

"It's okay.I will give you guys a minute..."When Daniel walked out of the room, I bursted into laughter.

"What's funny?" Drake asked confusingly.

"I didn't know you cared that much for me..."

"You are my Jemima, if anything would happen to you I would die..."He bent his head forward and pressed his lips in my forehead,"Thank you.."

"I love you so much Drake..."

"I know..." His lips dropped from my forehead to my lips, rubbing them soothingly.He bent his head forward and pressed his lips in my forehead,"Thank you."

"I love you so much Drake..."

"I know." His lips dropped from my forehead to my lips, rubbing them soothingly.His lips crushed with mine when we were rudely interrupted again.

"Miss Jemima?" I heard Jordan's voice behind me. Drake pulled away awkwardly, raking his fingers through his hair.

"Yes?" I answered in a whisper, rubbing my lips weirdly.

"The police officers will not be bothering you anymore.I sorted that out. I am glad you are fine.My driver will bring you some fruits and foodstuffs required later, see you next week."

"Thank you so much sir"

"I want my intern healthy and fit. Remember it's wise to always use the right channels.Bye."

"Bye."When Jordan left the room, I noticed Drake had been clenching his fists all along.

"Are you jealous of Jordan King?" I teased.

"Is he courting you?Has he asked you out?" He asked between his clenched teeth.

"Is he courting you?Has he asked you out?" He asked between his clenched teeth.

"No..he is my boss,But I wouldn't mind if he did. He is handsome..."

"Don't dare!!" He warned with a straight face,"Or else I will kill him. You are mine Jemima Job..." He emphasized every statement.

"Hurry up then before the bus leaves..."

"Are you trying to make me jealous?It's working..." He rolled his eyes at me.

"I wouldn't be making you jealous of you didn't make it complicated Captain."

"Don't try me Jemima, I can be a monster when need be..."

"Ain't my business..."He was about to answer back when Josh and Matt walked in.

"Captain, what are you doing here?" Josh seemed surprised to see him.

"When I heard about your sister, I just wanted to give you moral support..."Drake answered softly.If he only knew the nasty things he does with his sister.My inner goddess giggled just by the thought of it.

"That nice.The rest of the team is also waiting outside.I am glad you all came, it means a lot..."Josh stated.

"I am glad you cheated death Jemima..." Matt smiled at me.

"Me too Matt..." I smiled back at him.

"Matt, I guess we should leave now and let coach spend time with his sister..." Drake placed his arm on Ian's shoulders and before he could open his mouth Drake walked him out.What a jealous freak!

"It's seems you are demand little lioness.Three men came running to you the moment they heard you were hurt.I am jealous..." Josh began teasing me.

"They all want me but I only want you.The best brother in the whole world..."

"Mum's and dad's death broke me.If I lose either you or Jayjay the remaining strong piece of me would break.Before you do something reckless again, remember that I would get hurt..."

"I promise..." I squeezed his hand.
