Chapter forty seven 2
After we got into the Harrison's' mansion, I requested Wayne to wait for me in the car since I wasn't planning to take long inside there.I would just assure them everything is under control and get going.It was already six o'clock and am sure Jemima is worried sick about this whole madness. The question is, how do I approach her into understanding I need to talk to Carsi for this to be solved? Should I take her out for dinner? Should I get her roses and an expensive gift ? Should I serenade herI am so confused.I can't imagine the look on her face when I mention Cardi.She might even leave me which would break me to a point of no return. What do I do? I was so lost in thoughts that I hadn't realised I was inside the mansion already standing in the hallway"Anyone home?"
"Drake?" Both Becky and Betty run downstairs and hugged me so tight that I was afraid they would squeeze out my intenstines.
"Easy little sisters before you kill me of suffocation..."
"We have all been worried..." Hope stuttered, the moment they pulled back.
" It's all under control..." I sighed
"But she claims you r*ped her Drake, what if you get arrested?"Betty sobbed...
"She is just a lying greedy sl*t, I am not going anywhere..." I hugged them once more to ease their worry."So where is everyone?"
"Mum and Granndad are in GG's room. She has not been feeling well since she saw the news about you Drake..."Betty explained.
"Okay, I will go and see her then..." When I walked into GG's room I found GranDad and Mom trying to beg her to eat.
"Hey GG?" I stammered, taking unsure steps towards her bed.
"Do you want to kill me?" My mom pounced on me and began slapping the hell out of me..If not that I had my hands over my head, my face would be full of bruises.
"I am sorry mom..." That's was all I kept saying.
"Do you know how worried I was? Your GG has refused to eat for two days now because of you. We are your family, couldn't you have called..." She yelled, landing angry punches on my back.
"I am sorry mom..."
"That's enough..." Granny pulled her from me.
"No, he shouldn't be forgiven for giving me sleepless nights and making me worry so much..."Mom sobbed
"I am sorry mom..." I dropped my hands from my head, my eyes pooled with tears.
"Come here," She pulled me into her warm embrace and sobbed on my shoulder," I was so worried Drake Don't ever do that again."
"Come here," She pulled me into her warm embrace and sobbed on my shoulder," I was so worried Drake Don't ever do that again."
"I am sorry mom..." In her embrace, I felt all my worries disappear like rain on summer earth.
"It's okay my son..." Mom pulled away and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Is everything okay now?" Granndad asked as I hugged him.
"Yes Granny, it's under control..."
"I am glad..."
When I took GG's hand into mine, she could barely hold back her tears."How is mybasketballer doing?"
"I am good GG but sad because you are refusing to eat.."
"How could I basketballer?" She asked weakly,"When that mean girl is saying awful things about you.."
"GG everything is under control now...What about I feed you and tell you all about my upcoming season?"
"That's sounds like fun..." She flashed me a slight smile.
"Then it's a plan..." I beamed, wiping the tears on her cheeks with my thumbs.
"I will let you two have fun, we will be in the living room if you need anything..." Granny stated before her and mom left.
"Your mother has anger issues. I was afraid she would break your bones..." GG chuckled.
"I can't feel my back, she almost broke my spine..." I faked a sob.
"If I had strength, I would give you a kick on the balls too. We were worried sick even your dad."
"But I am here now GG, why don't you eat as we talk about the upcoming season???" I helped her sit upright and began feeding her the Chicken soup with rice,"This smells tasty..."
"You know he loves you right." GG couldn't see I didn't want to talk about father.
"Did mom make this soup?"
"You two should settle your differences My baby boy..."It seems she wasn't going to let it slide.
"Okay GG, I will talk to her. Now, will you finish your soup and have some rest..."
"Yes I will since you have made me happy..." After putting GG to bed, I joined the rest in the living room"She is sleeping..." I stated and slumped on the sofa next to mom.
"Some coffee?" Mom asked.
"Some whisky would do..."
"Can you explain why did you had to sleep with a minor?" Mom asked, wearing a serious look.
"I didn't know she was a minor mom..." I was getting sick and tired of that question
.
New you ask me I would suggest you settle down. I hope the prayer partner and soulmate caption on Instagram is not a publicity stunt Drake, you should get married already and perhaps then you can learn to put your thing in your pants." My mom retorted.
"And I hope it's not that Cardi chic."Becky snarled.
"I will settle down when the right time comes..."I sighed.I wish I could tell them about Jemima but it wasn't the right time.
"Finally the prodigal son is home..." Father said in a voice full of sarcasm behind me.I shifted my shoulders back stood from the sofa and turned around to look at him and Daniel.
"But he is leaving..."I approached them and stood Infront of Daniel" Nice to see you, the apple of fathers eye..."
"We were worried sick..."
"As you can see I am alive and kicking. I will see you around..." I squeezed Daniel 's shoulder and walked past them when father held my hand,"When do you plan to grow up Drake?"I tried to twist my hand off his grip only for him to tighten it."I don't want to argue with you father..."
"I guess it's time we have a mature conversation son..." He pulled me back that I was standing Infront of him. "Son?" I laughed at the word, "Since when do you call me that father?"
"You are my son Drake and I love you..." He tempted to place his hand on my shoulder but I stepped back.
"Don't try that with me. I know you hate me. You have made that clear like always..."
"
