Drake's POV
After practice, I couldn't help but laugh remembering the crazy night and morning I have had. For once
in a while I was excited to go home.It actually took me by surprise that she didn't recognise me.I can
finally be friends with someone who doesn't care about my status.How can a girl be weird, funny and
crazy at the same time? Arya Almasi you are something you know.
"Why are you so happy bro?" Wayne my bestfriend squeezed my shoulder.
"What? I am just happy..." I looked away embarassingly.
"Who is she? Another one night stand I don't know about" He looked at me curiously.
"It's none of your business...." I replied dryly.
"Since when don't you tell me about your one night stands"
"See you tomorrow guys, practice is over." Coach Josh shouted and we all cheered before dispersing
to the changing room.
"No, I have to know what's making you happy.It's been a while since I saw you smile.Since Cardi went
to California one month ago, you have been gloomy..."
"I am just happy.No one night stand, no nothing...." I said in almost a loud whisper and walked past him Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
to the changing rooms.I quickly took a warm shower and changed into a pair of blue skinny jeans and a
white t-shirt.
"Hey Drake, don't feel like a hero just because you scored a one goal in the Olympics..." Matt shouted
behind me.
I never understand why Matt doesn't want to move on from the past.Cardi chose me.He should put on
his man pants and stop acting like a moody angry little girl.
I turned around to face him and faked a smile,"Matt just get over it. Cardi is my girl and the sooner you
understand that, the better..."
"You stole her from me Drake, you bought her love with your stupid money and status." He cussed out.
"Matt, bought or not she is mine..." I winked at him and smiled evilly. He charged to where I was
standing and pushing me back but I only staggered. He was ready to pounce on me but his bestfriend
Adams held him back
"Matt you should stop being a chicken..."
"Drake one of these days, I am going to hit where it hurts..."
"I will be waiting Matt.But don't be too confident..." I saluted him and left the changing room.
I really miss my Cardi, the world seems so dull without her.All I have with me is her scent on my bed
and t-shirts.We chat almost everyday but it's different when she is beside me. She has this way of
making my life colourful and beautiful.Not only was she beautiful but smart and confident too.When I
started courting her, I didn't know Matt also wanted her.I came to find out after we had gone for our
vacation in Bahamas....I had already fallen in love with her and I couldn't imagine my life without her.I
can't wait for her to come back, nothing feels the same.How can I be far away from someone that
makes me feel complete.Wayne snapped his fingers on my face and dragged me back to reality.
"Lost in thoughts again?"
"I just miss Cardi.I wish she comes back soon..."
"We can go at your place and have some beer." Wayne suggested and I nodded when it dawned to me
Jemima is in my apartment.Sh*t, I almost forgot.
"I remembered I have to go home, my mum wants to see me.Next time bro..." Before he could say
anything, I begun walking away.I passed over the grocery shop and supermarket on my way home and
did some shopping.I hope Jemima is hanging in there alright and hasn't spent the whole afternoon
crying over her ex.
Before he could say anything, I begun walking away. I passed over the grocery shop and supermarket
on my way home and did some shopping.I hope Jemima is hanging in there alright and hasn't spent
the whole afternoon crying over her ex. When I walked into the apartment, it was silent.I placed the
shopping on the kitchen counter and walked to the living room where I saw the pizza box was still full.
My white t-shirt she had on was lying on the floor.I ran to her room and she wasn't there.How could she
leave without telling me? I looked around for a goodbye note but nothing.I walked angrily towards the
door when I stepped on one of her heels...Ouch! If her heels are here then where did she go?
I didn't give her the spare key and the door was locked. Or did she jump from the balcony?
"Calm down Drake, you live on the tenth floor.No person in her right mind would jump." My
subconscious mind laughed at me. I reached for my phone ready to call her when I remembered I don't
have her number.Just great, this girl wants to kill me with worry.I walked into my bedroom and heard
some music playing in the bathroom.
I ran into the bathroom and found her asleep in the bathtub.She had a bottle of red wine in a hand and
her phone was lying on the floor.I slowly took the bottle of wine from her hand and placed it on the floor
"Jemima?" I shook her lightly but she didn't respond. I felt her pulse and sighed.She was still breathing.
Thanks heavens I arrived home early today or else she would have drowned in the bathtub.I took her in
my arms from the bathtub and realised she was nakedSweet heavens what kind of temptations are
these?

temptations are these?
I carried her carefully to her room and dried her up.I later put her tiny body in a bathrobe and covered
her up in a duvet. She looks so broken and hurt in her sleep. I stood from the bed ready to leave when
she held my hand, "Kane please don't leave.I love you so much..." Tears begun to roll down her
cheeks. Poor thing!
"Jemima wake up its Drake..." I shook her lightly.
"Don't leave m Kane, please..." She freed my hand and got back to sleep.
"Sleep peaceful dear one..." I pressed a kiss on her forehead and left. I was busy cleaning the mess in
my bathroom when her phone begun ringing. First I ignored it thinking it wasn't important until it rang
again.
I checked who it was and Kane was the name on the screen.cJemima doesn't deserve a guy that puts
tears in her eyes.I sighed and composed myself before picking up the call, "Hello Jemima is asleep..."
And I disconnected the call. I know Jemima is going to kill me when she wakes up.
Just when I was about to place the phone on the sink, it pinged with a message.
Kane:You are a sl*t Jemima We just broke up yesterday and you are going out with another man.
I felt anger bubbling inside me that I could explode.. How can he call her a sl*t? Does he know the
tears she has shed because of him.I won't spare him.I dialled his number and cursed him as I waited
for that jerk to answer the call.
"Don't be a coward.You don't dump a girl and then call her a sl*t..." I scolded him the moment he said
hello.
"And who are you?" I could sense anger in his tone.
"If you can't keep her happy then stop calling...."
"Drake who are you talking to on my phone?" Jemima asked behind me...
