Chapter forty two 3
"Mr Harrison, go easy on the wine. I want you sober for what I am about to do."
"Why are you doing this Drake? All this can't fix everything..." I stuttered.He half closed his eyes as if drugged, absorbing my words. When he opened them again, they were blazing with love.Something that caught me by surprise. What had this person across me done with my Drake?
"I don't want to lose you Jemima. You are only mine..."I wanted to believe those words but I was used to them. I needed something different, different words to believe him this time round.
"Okay..." I shrugged and dug into my food. I could feel his eyes move over me. From my eyes, to my nose, cheeks, lips to the curve of my neck, slope of my shoulders, my chest as I blushed thinking about the little exposed cleavage. He must be dancing his eyes around there.
"You are so beautiful Jemima..."I felt like time had stood still, stopping just for us. My heart was beating so fast that I was afraid it would burst out.Happiness was exploding through me like a sunburst.I didn't say anything.I continued eating slowly but heartly sipping wine throughout.
Before I could could finish the pizza on my plate, he stood from his chair allowing it to slightly scrape against the tiles and knelt Infront of me.
" Drake what are you doing?" I stammered. Yes I loved him but I wasn't ready for marriage. And I was sure I wouldn't say no.
"Jemima I am glad I bumped into you in that lousy bar. Since then, my life changed. You are the reason I know what it feels to be really really loved. I have..." He clenched his jaw before going on,"hurt you so much but you were always there for me. What else could I ask for Jemima? You make me happy and complete. I want a life with you. I rather die than not have you by my side. When I saw you today with Jordan, I was scared that I had finally lost. I have read the article like ten times not believing that another man was making my Jemima happy. Jemima Jobs I love you..."
"What?" I almost choked on my saliva.
"Yes Mima. I have always loved you. I don't know when I fell for you but I did and now I want a eternity with you. I love you Mima..."I was shaking not sure I could speak. I couldn't believe he finally got to say the three words.
"I love you too..." I said between sobs.Drake kept his eyes on me the entire time, flashing me the sweetest smile I have ever seen. He took out the box from his blazer and chuckled,"I hope you don't slap it from my hand this time..."
"I won't..." I laughed as he slipped the ring on my finger.
"This is a promise ring my baby. I promise to never hurt or leave you. Till death do us part my baby..."
"I didn't expect this from you Drake . I must say you won me over..."
"I don't wanna lose you.I don't want any other man to take you from me Jemima. You are my world, my everything..."For once I felt like he bled sincerity.
"I will always be here my love. I love you..."
"I love you too..." He leaned closer and we locked our mouths for a kiss. The kiss felt so perfect.He finally said he loves me..Someone pass me tissues I can't stop crying..My inner goddess was almost out of tissues because of too much crying.Finally he maned up.y subconscious mind sneered. "Shall we dance baby?" The word baby just felt perfect coming from his lips.
"Yes my love..."Everything seemed to good to be true.Drake held me so close, my body mouldering into his as if we were made for each other. I placed my hand on his shoulder and we danced silently listening to our fast beating hearts.All over sudden, he moved away and I was confused. Did he change his mind?Within a second, he twirled me around like a doll and pushed his front into her back.
"I love you Mima..." He rubbed his nose on the side of my neck..
"I love you too Drake..."I was deliciously intoxicated as I inhaled it all. His mixed scent of body heat, wine and him. It was a divine feeling.He slowly unzipped my dress and I felt shivers down my spine as it pooled on the floor.
"You are so beautiful my Mima..."He turned me around and carried me bridal style to the sofa. Thanks heavens I was wearing my favourite black lacy bra and panties.I undressed him, his eyes stuck on my lips.
"I am gonna make love to you ."He whispered and leaned closer.His mouth was suddenly hard upon mine, filling my mouth with his. I felt him consume me with desire and I loved it. He then began slowly and passionately toy with my lips and mouth with weirdly accelerated my arousal.It didn't feel like any night. Everything felt right. A night full of passion and e*ctasy. I was officially his.
******
I let my eyes adjust to the sunlight as they flew open only to see Drake resting on one arm, looking down at me."Morning baby?"
"Why are you up so early?" I yawned, stretching out.
"I wanted to look at the love of my life.The girl I love more than life itself..."
