Chapter forty four 2

Thanks love." I raked my fingers through his hair as we lied there I don't know for how long. When we got back to the house, nobody was in the mood to eat. And so we took a quick shower and retired to bed.

Drake's POV

Jemiama was standing on the other side of the fence in a place filled with beautiful flowers and trees. She was looking at me with pain and terror in her eyes.

"Jemima, come to me..." I pleaded but she didn't move a muscle. I tried to climb over the fence but kept bouncing back. She was out of reach. Suddenly tears began rolling down her cheeks and out of nowhere Jordan was beside her, wiping them away. She was no longer gloomy after seeing him, she was smiling as he c*ressed her cheeks.Jordan pressed a soft kiss on her cheeks before they both turned to me and began bading me goodbye. I felt helpless as I watched Jemima walk away with Jordan.

"Jemima Come back..." I tried calling out to her but they continued walking until they disappeared into thin air.The fence that was separating Jemima and I instantly crumbled down but it was already too late.I couldn't see her, she was already gone. No matter how much I yelled her name, she didn't come back.

I dropped on my knees crying my lungs out with the hope she would miraculously appear Infront of me.Only to hear a thud.I blinked my eyes open only to see myself lying on the floor.I looked around and couldn't see any trees or beautiful flowers.

Thanks heavens, it was just a nightmare.I stood from the floor only to realise Jemima's side of the bed was empty or maybe it wasn't a dream.Did Jordan kidnap her? Did he take myJemima away from me?Suddenly my body was gripped with fear as I ran around the room shouting her name like a mad person." Jemima?"

Where could she be and her clothes were still in the closet?"Jemima ? Baby?" I screamed her name, running downstairs only to bump at her at the entrance of the kitchen.

"Are you okay Drake? Why are you yelling my name?" Her face was a mask of confusion.

"Thanks goodness, you are here..." I held her so close against me, tension leaving my body."Promise you will never leave me Jemima?"

"Drake you are scaring me..."

"Just promise me..."

"I promise never to leave you..." She reassured, her voice soothing.

"Where were you? Why weren't you beside me?" I asked in almost a loud voice after I pulled away.

"I was preparing you some pancakes since you went to bed in an empty stomach..."I stared intently at her and realised she was wearing an apron and had some flour on her forehead.

"Why are you all sweaty and look scared?" She raked her fingers through my messy hair.

"I guess it's hot today..."

"Come, let's have breakfast..." She took my hand but I drew it back like it was on fire.There was no way on earth, I would swallow a bite after that nightmare.

"Jemima, we need to do some shopping right now. We can purchase my suit and your wedding gown right now..." I took her hand and dragged her back to our room.

"What's the hurry Drake?"

"I don't think I can't wait any longer. If I don't make you mine, I will go mad..."

"Jemima, we need to do some shopping right now. We can purchase my suit and your wedding gown right now..." I took her hand and dragged her back to our room.Maybe that nightmare was a sign from God, that if I don't make Jemima mine Malcolm will steal her from me and that I won't allow. She is only mine. Her body, mind and soul are only mine.

"Is a black tux okay? Do I go for a bowtie or just a tie??? Are loafers so casual?" I asked, taking my laptop from the closet.

"Anything is fine love. Just calm down..." Jemima grabbed the laptop from me and led me to the bed.

"Drake, I think you need to rest. You don't look okay..."

"I am okay Jemima, I just want you.He will take you from me..."

"Nobody is taking me from you Drake, I am all yours. I already agreed to marry you my Love..."

"Did Jordan ever take you in this place full of beautiful flowers and trees?"

"No Love.He has never. Why?" "Nothing ..." That jerk wants to take you from me.

"Let me get you breakfast.Maybe hunger is what is making you act all weird..."She placed the laptop on the nightstand and turned to me,"Will you take your breakfast or do you want me to lie here beside you as you sleep?"

"I want you here beside me, with my arms wrapped around you baby..."

"Okay..."We savoured into the sheets and I rested my head on Jemima's lap.

"Go back to sleep my love..." She stroked my hair soothingly."Why can't we get married here Jemima"No matter how much I tried shoving the thoughts about Jordan away, they came back full force.. I won't feel at peace until I was sureJemima legally belonged to me.

"Because we need our parents' blessings..."

"But it's our life Jemima..."

"Drake, I won't change my mind. Not now and not after a million years so stop panicking..." Before I could shut my eyes, we heard the doorbell ringing vigorously.

"Are you expecting someone baby?" I lifted my head from her lap.Maybe it's Jordan coming to take her from me.

"Maybe it's Jordan..." I snarled.

"But I haven't told him I am quitting my job, so what would he be looking for?"

"I don't know!" I said between closed
.
"Then let's go find out..."

"Jemima I don't like the thought of him coming here to see you..."

"Maybe it's not even him Drake..."We both got out of bed and headed downstairs.Jemima better be praying it's not Jordan because I will disfigure his face.As soon as I opened the door, Waynewalked in panting.

"You are in a really big mess Bro..."
