Chapter thirty six 3

Drake gave me a pissed look after seeing the dress and dropped his eyes back to his phone. I know we he wouldn't like it either. The next on line was a black low V halter neckline gown. It had sleeveless bodice, fully open back, flow-length pleated satin skirt with side pocket.As usual Drake didn't like it. He didn't even look at me twice."It pretty but not that pretty. We will take it but try on more..." He stated arrogantly.It was already quarter past six and nothing seemed to pleased. I swear I am trying on the last dress, if he doesn't like it then it's his business.

Just looking at the last dress, I fell in love with it. One shoulder long sleeve mermaid with a high slit that hugged my figure securely. I couldn't stop admiring myself in the floor length amazing mess.It was a single shoulder design that wrapped around to form a long sleeve and a high side slit. I walked uncertainly out of the fitting room and the moment Drake saw me, he shoved his phone in the pocket and looked at me with admirationHe tried to speak but no words passed his lips. He walked to where I was and rested his forehead on mine. His hands rested below my ears, his thumbs caressing my cheeks as our breaths mingled.I ran my fingers down his spine pulling him closer until there was no space between us. I could feel the beating of his heart against my chest.

"My girl looks so beautiful..." His voice was shaky. He leaned closer and we shared a slow, soft comforting kiss that words can't explain.I don't know why the words My girl made my heart beat erratically. At long last, shopping was over. I can't remember shopping being this tiring.After we got into the car, he sighed and took my left hand.

"Jemima, I don't want you being mad at me. Please, am sorry if I pissed you off but I dressed like this to protect you. People won't call me names, they will call you. Do you understand?It will break my heart to see you being insulted."

"Okay..." I nodded guiltily.

"So you know you are sleeping over?" He smiled mischievously at me.

"I know."
"I had missed you, I haven't seen you for two weeks and since the season is starting in three weeks I will rarely see you..." There was a ton of sadness in his voice.

"It's okay, don't feel sad. I don mind waiting..." I kissed him on the cheek and buckled my seatbelt. All of a sudden, I felt lucky to have him by my side. I felt fortunate that he chose me. Who cares if he disguises himself as a disguise or walks around the streets holding my hand like Drake all that matters is I love him.Everything was going on well until his phone began buzzing again for the tenth time when we walked into the apartment.Yes people, I was counting.

"Who keeps calling you?" I asked dryly.

"It's Cardi, I don't know what she wants..."

"When you go running to her just make sure you tell me if you aren't coming back so as I don't wait for you..." Drake frowned at my statement.

"What?At least I won't be caught by surprise like when you went to LA..."

"Can we not argue? Everything was fine between us moments ago..."

"Okay..." I just walked away to the bedroom with my shopping bags. I didn't want to see his face.When I walked out of the bathroom after my shower, I found him seated on the edge of the bed lost in thoughts.I had chosen to ignore him and go to ransake his closet when he called out to me.

"Jemima, we can't keep living like this. We are barely dating and we have argued more than our existence in one day."

"I am not arguing, actually I am not even talking.I had chosen to ignore him and go to ransake his closet when he called out to me." I am minding my business..."

"Please don't be mad at me. I promise from now on, I won't pick her calls."

"Why did you leave her Drake, is it because I am getting famous because of my activism?I thought you said I can't survive the limelight..."

"I left her because I want to be with ..."

"You liar,"I interrupted angrily.

"I promise you, I want to be with you...." He cried out.

"I need some air..." I walked out of the bedroom onto the balcony , furiously wiping the tears from my eyes.I don't know why I don't believe him. The Drake I know loves fame and football more than his life. What changed?

"Jemima" He called behind me,"I don't understand you. I thought this is what you wanted. What should I do for you to trust me?"

"What changed?" I asked in a choked sob.

"You.Jemima you, want to be with you..."

"How am I sure you will never leave? "Suddenly I felt him so close behind me, with no space between us.

"Because with you, I am home..." He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.Tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Drake without you, I would die..." I placed my hands on his.

"And without you, I am incomplete. I will never leave, till death do us part Jemima..."We silently admired the city from there and it was really so beautiful. Don't I just love my city. Could this night get any bette?I am admiring my favourite city, with my favourite holding me so close. He dropped his arms from my waist and turned me around so as I could face him. I can't say if it's for seconds, minutes or forever that we just drowned into each other's eyes.


"Please don't be mad at me..." He said sympathetically before wrapping me inside his arms.

"I love you Drake..." I melted into his embrace.I was aware he still didn't love me like I loved him but at that moment it didn't matter."I know..."
