Chapter forty five 2
"I just don't recognise you anymore. The Deake I know would have freaked out and made sure the matter had been settled by tonight. Even if it meant turning the world upside down."
"People change Wayne.Love changes you. I am just glad that the first time I got to fall in love, I fell in love with the right girl..."
"You are lucky bro. Some of us have to go through a Babylonian experience before finding the one..."
"When do you plan to go back to gome after an unnecessary trip?" I chuckled.
"If I knew I would find another version of Drake, I would have just stayed in bed all day making sure my hooker doesn't stand for the next one week..."
"We can enjoy some beer and barbeque before you go back..."
"That sounds like a plan..."It had been a while since Jemima came back downstairs, was she okay? I hope she is not stressed about the Bella's saga. It was sweet for her to care but I didn't like the thought of her worrying sick about it.
"I will go check on Jemima, she has taken more than enough time up there..."
"You can't even let her be alone for a moment."
"Why would I? Whereas she is mine..." I threw the Xbox controller on the table and stood up from the sofa.
"You can be preparing the grill, I might take a while..."
"Take your time Harrison..." There was a naughty glint on Wayne's eyes.
"You are crazy..." I shook my head and walked towards the stairs.When I got to the bathroom, there she was quietly sleeping in the bathtub.She looked so innocent and beautiful.I dipped my hand into the water and It was of perfect temperature.I quickly stepped off my shorts and boxers ready to join her when she cracked her eyelid, raising her eyebrow at the same time.
"What's with the look?" I asked, peeling the t-shirt off my body.
"I thought you and Wayne should be gossiping..."
"He can go to hell for all I care.All I want now is to be close to you."
"Sorry to disappoint you Mr Harrisom, I don't want you to join me in here..."
"Why baby?"
"I am so exhausted love."
"I guess your little bath time it's over, baby..." I said in an authoritative voice and helped her out of the bathtub.I wrapped her in a giant fluffy robe that swallowed her small frame and I carried her to bed."I Iove you baby..."
She just nodded silently and closed her eyes.She looked sleepy."Baby are you okay?"
"Mmm!"
"Are you sure?"
"Mmmmmh!!!!"
"Sleep well my baby..." I took her into my arms and savoured her into the sheets.She looked so tired and weak. I lied by her side for some minutess just caressing her cheek thanking the heavens for this amazing gift that even money can't buy.
"I love you Jemima..." I pressed a kiss on her forehead before rushing to the bathroom for a quick shower..
"You look refreshed..." Wayen teased, the moment I walked into the summer kitchen
.
"I am not having this conversation with you Wayne..."
"I already started working on the barbeque.Where is Jemima?"
"Sleeping..."
"I see you did her hard..."
"I am not having this conversation with you..."
"You really took your time Drake .Anyway I don't think I will be here when she wakes up. After having some barbeque, I am going back to home. My dad has to use the jet later and I don't wanna fail him..."
"It's okay bro..." I grabbed a beer from the small fridge and slumped at the sofa beside Wayne.
"I am glad you came bro, it shows you care..." I added.
"It's okay bro...." I grabbed a beer from the small fridge and slumped at the sofa beside Wayne.
"We are bros dude. I would do anything for you."
"I appreciate it..."

After having some barbeque with Wayne , I dropped him at the airport and on my way back bought Jemima some chocolates, a bonquet of red roses and some chicken wings incase she didn't want to have some barbeque.And as a romantic fiance I left the bonquet of roses and chocolates on the night stand so that they would be the first thing she notices when she wakes up.
"Love?" I dropped the Xbox controller on the table and turned to look at my beloved,"Yes baby?"
"Thanks for the roses..." She walked to me and sat on my lap.
"Anytime baby..."
"Where is Wayne?" She looked around for any sign of him.
"I already dropped him off at the airport.There are some chicken wings in the fridge, I will warm them up for you if you want..."
"I will eat later love," She dropped the roses on the table and wrapped her arms around her neck," But now I want us to talk..."
"What about baby?"
"First promise me, you will listen to me with an open mind..."
"I hope it's not about this Ella's bullshit. I thought I told you it's under control."
"Love, calm down..." She kissed me to ease my nerves and weirdly it worked.
"So what about it?"
"Today and tomorrow morning we will have as much fun as we can and then in the afternoon we will fly home and sort this thing out..."
"Is there a way I can talk you out of this?"
"No love, I am worried about you and I won't be at peace until it's solved. After it's solved,we can get married as soon as possible and I will let you chose the date. I won't care if it's a simple or glamorous wedding, it will be upto you."
"No love, I am worried about you and I won't be at peace until it's solved. After it's solved,we can get married as soon as possible and I will let you chose the date. I won't care if it's a simple or glamorous wedding, it will be upto you."I must admit she has amazing negotiation skills. The deal was too good to say no.
"Okay.Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon we will fly back home..."
"Thanks love," She plastered kisses all over my face and throat,"You are the best."
"I want to spend the afternoon with you in bed, just wrapped in my arms and then later we can go and eat out.Is that okay with you?"
"Yes but before that I want you to get on the phone with your manager and find out what he is doing about that slut..."
"Sl*t?" I confirmed, not sure I heard her right."She is a cheap sl*t trying to ruin my Drake's life and if I ever see her I won't spare her..." She said between closed teeth.. I don't think someone has ever cared for me this much apart from my mom. She doesn't have to but she can't stop caring about me. I am glad I confessed how much I loved you before it's too late.
"And if you don't eat something right now, IWon't spare you also." I carried her bridal style to the kitchen and sat her on the cOunter.
"The afternoon that I have planned in my mind, needs you full of strength and full.."I already love the thought of that."
