Nikky’s POV cont.
I strolled into the house and rang the doorbell.
The door was opened in three minutes with a stoic-face Brenda. She wore a pourple nightie with the jacket.
Her face fell on the briefcase.
I smiled. She left the door. I walked in and shut the door.
“Hey Bae,” I winked and pulled off my face-cap and rearranged my hair.
“Why didn’t you go directly to your house?” she asked.
I smiled and dropped the briefcase on the glass table.
“Guess what’s in there?” I asked.
She stared at it. “I can’t guess. What’s in there?” she said.
“Oh oh oh” I sang as I gave her a few dance step.
She watched me.
I laughed and went to the briefcase.
“Just… stare at,” I opened the briefcase, “..this!” I laughed.
Brenda’s eyes went wide open, “Jesus Christ!! Nikky! what the fu.ck is all these money!” she yelled out.
I laughed. “Cool money Brenda, cool, cool cooool” I sang as I threw her a bundle. She swiftly shifted, so it doesn’t touch her. The bundle landed on a couch. “Christ!! Nikky, who paid you this huge amount. How much is there? or you stole it!” she yelled.
I kept laughing. “Well in here is thirty five million, it might not be complete though but Im sure it’s up to twenty five. You sure gonna hear about the news by tomorrow,” I said.
“News about what?” she asked.
“A doctor and a nurse have been found shot dead inside the doctor’s car,” I said, and closed the briefcase.
“Wait! Brenda, you killed the doctor too?” she asked.
“Yeah babe,” I said and walked to the money on the couch. I picked it up and headed upstairs.
I smiled when she said nothing more.
Brenda’s POV
Jeezzzzzz…
Nikky! This girl frightens me at times!
How could she kill the doctor and take the money!
OMG!!
Well, that’s by the way, I tapped on my phone.
Drake didn’t pick my calls. I’ve sent him messages and he haven’t replied.
I sighed.
‘Drakeeee!! you better reply me! im not gonna stop till you love me just the way that I do! I’d do anything for you to be mine!’
I turned and headed back upstairs to Nikky.
She’ll have to explain more about that doctor and the nurse Helen Morgan.
{Friday}
Clara’s POV
I woke up, feeling weak.
I sighed.
‘That drug why didn’t I take it.’
I stretched myself on the bed and then sat up and yawned.
My body feel a little bit hot and I feel weak.
‘Im gonna try my best to take the drugs this morning.’
I dropped my feet on a flipflops and stood up from the bed. I headed to the bathroom. I washed, brushed and loosened the hairband on my hair and my hair fell to my shoulders.
I can’t believe I had no bathe last night. I just remembered.
I kept thinking about going to see Noah. To hear his own side of the story.
To tell him the things that I have been building up within till I slept off.
I sighed.
But im scared. Im scared to see Noah. I don’t wanna face him and break down into uncontrollable tears.
I have to be strong. I need to be strong first. Im not yet so strong.
I have to wait a little bit more.
I pulled off my clothes and walked to the shower.
I had my bathe and picked up the towel and cleaned myself.
Then wrapped the bathtowel round my body and walked out.
I creamed my body and pulled into a sky-blue flair gown that stop before my knee, with turtle neck and long-sleeves.
I applied cream on my hair and combed it, then packed it with a sky-blue hairband.
I looked closely at my face with the hand mirror.
My eye’s going dull again, I need to just take the drugs and it seems it’s gonna rain today.
Rain!
I stood up and walked out to the kitchen.
I found the drugs where Drake had kept them on the counter.
I walked to the fridge and picked out bread, jam, dessert juice and water. (They are among the things Drake and I picked at the mall)
‘I can’t forget that day.. I was so angry but though it was fun’
I came back and dropped the stuffs on a tray, added a plate, knife and the packs of drugs. Then carried them, out to the dinning. I placed them on the table and sat down.
I picked out three slices of bread and placed them on the round ceramic plate.
I applied jam on’em and began to eat.
After I was done eating, I sticked out the medicines from the packs and drank em with the juice (not water this time, God forbid. These drugs are damn bitter)
I held my breath after taking them all, praying not to feel nausea.
Thank God I didn’t.
I packed the ‘stuffs’ and took them to the kitchen and proceeded to wash them.
I chuckled as I thought of how Drake would have halted me from touching the
plates if he was here.
Drake.. he’s so funny.
I can’t believe how funny he is.’
I smiled.
‘Why did he even tell me to dance. Uhm he’d think I can’t even take a step. He kept making me smile with the way he cared so much. Argh!’
I can’t deny that his company had been great.
He’s just the kinda friend that I want him to be.
I can’t deny that he’s different. He showed so much care more than Noah did.
He’s so funny.
But no matter how nice,caring, and funny he is, I can’t possibly make this mistake thrice.
My love have been taking for granted twice! how can I possibly let that happen again.’
I placed the plates on the drainboard and wiped my hands with a dishcloth.
‘But I can’t deny that I love Drake’s company. He has a way of making me laugh and smile. he’s funny’
I loosened my hair to unpack it more tightly.
I chuckled as a thought came.
“I’d lie to him that I didn’t take the drugs and see how he’s gonna react. He was so scared yesterday when he saw me shivering. God!”
‘I know he’ll rush to the kitchen talking like the doctor Drake he has finally become’
Hahaha..
‘Would I say ‘thanks’ today? I don’t pray too. He might tell me to swim this time.’
Hahahaha..
‘If he says ‘thanks’ then im gonna tell him to..
To…to do what??
The doorbell rang.
“Drake!” I blurted excitedly and couldn’t believe myself.
I rushed out of the kitchen to the door.
I pulled it open.
Drake!!
I smiled.
He wore a black polo-shirt with a black jacket. Black like always! black, black, black. A blue and black stripe short with black slippers.
My eyes.. why did they go that side.
I looked up instantly.
“Goodmorning Clara,” he said.
“Goodmorning Drake,” I reciprocated and left the door. He came in and closed the door.
“How was your night? hope you took the drugs?” he asked.
I knew it! drugs!
I smiled. “I didn’t,” I said.
He gasped then sighed. “Clara why you knew you need those drugs and wait,” he placed his hand on my forehead, then down to my neck.
His hand felt warm.
“…your body is getting hot Clara. C’mon you’ll take the drugs now,” he said and headed to the kitchen.
I let him, and chuckled.
He came back with the drugs and brought it to my face.
“You’ll take now, i’ll make you something,” he said.
I laughed. “C’mon i’ve taken it this morning,” I said.
He smiled. “I know. I checked them. Wanted to follow in your drama.
too,” he said.
I chuckled.
He walked to the dinning and dropped it then came back.
“What did you eat Clara,” he asked.
“Bread with jam, im full,” I said.
“You should have added tea at least,” he said.
I smiled.
He walked to a couch and sat down. I sat on another couch.
He stared at the couch that I sat.
“I wanna tell you something Clara,” she said.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“I don’t wanna shout it,” he said.
I chuckled.
“Are you even serious?” I said.
He chuckled.
“So what’s that?” I asked.
“Nothing,” he said and picked up the remote.
Actually he replayed ‘Baby driver’
“I’ve watched that all,” I said.
“Alright tell me the movie,” he said.
I chuckled, “I can’t.”
“So let’s watch then right?” he said.
“Nooo,” I said.
He chuckled and dropped the remote. I picked it up and removed the movie.
“Clara, let’s go out,” he said.
“To where?” I asked.
“Anywhere,” he said.
‘Not zoo again or he’ll end up pulling at a mall.’
“Nop I don’t want to.” I said.
“Okay then, we stay here,” he said.
I smiled and unpacked my hair. He stood up and rushed behind me and grabbed the
hairband from me.
I raised my brows.
“Let me do this,” he said.
chuckled.
Drake!
I let him, but he wasn’t packing my hair but braiding it.
“Drake??”
“Uhm, relax.. it’a beautiful,” he said.
“Drakeee” I chuckled.
He laughed.
“Relaxxxx” he said.
I chuckled.
“Done’” he said and gave me his phone as a mirror.
I stared at my hair through the phone screen.
I bursted into laughter.
‘What kinda braiding is this?’ It curved like i’ve suddenly developed a horn.
“You like it? it’s beautiful right?” he asked.
“Unbraid them Drake, it’s more than ugly,” I said and he bursted into laughter.
He unbraided them and then packed the hair tightly with the hairband.
Better.
“Good now?” he asked.
“Yeap,” I smiled.
He came over and sat with me on the two-sitter couch.
Haaah!
“Drake you were at the other couch.” he said.
“I know, there’s a game on my phone, let’s play..” he said and scrolled through his
phone to the game and played it.
game.
Really?
We played for up to two hours.
After the game, Drake decided that he’s cooking Pancake. I followed him and we did. He also made toasted bread.
Drake is a really good cook! unlike Noah.
We served and ate till we were full.
We packed up the plates, walked to the kitchen and cleaned up then came back and sat down on the three sitter couch.
It was 2pm.
He finally won.
We had to rewatch baby driver, cos I can’t tell him the movie.
He played it and it began.
Drake’s POV
I smiled as I watched her sleep off with her head on the seat backrest. Not my
shoulder this time.
Why?
I quietly placed her head back on my shoulder.
‘Sleep here please’ I said.
I caressed her cheek with my two fingers.
She sighed in her sleep.
I smiled and placed her hair back on the couch backrest, then stood up, switched off the tv and carried her to the bedroom.
I placed her on it and covered her well with the duvet, then I layed on the other side of the bed, cos im sleepy too.
I kept staring at her.
She’s so beautiful.
I know she’s gonna yell at me for this when she wakes up.
I smiled and I kept staring at her untill I slept off.
**Clara’s POV**
I woke up, to see Drake sleeping beside me.
Wait… Did I fall asleep at the sittingroom and he carried me here.
I thought I told him not to carry me again!
Drakeeeee!
I stared at him.
But I can’t deny that you’re handsome, and really nice.
But you ain’t still different from the rest but im glad we became friends.
We’ve been here for me.
You’ve saved me many times.
You stayed awake for me.
You got so scared beause I fell ill.
How can a playboy be so nice?
Drake is there something you are hiding?
I know I always have negative thoughts about you but you can’t blame me.
I got heartbroken twice. Im just feeling that you can’t be this nice to me just because we became friends and because you wanna help me outta my heartbreak.’
I got out of the bed.
‘But whatever it is, just know that im not gonna let a guy take me for granted. Never again!’
I covered him with the duvet.
‘I don’t know if Im ever gonna fall inlove again. And again im so confused cos I dreamt about Noah.. He was in the dark. I couldn’t see him. He was calling out my name, crying and yelling out for me but I couldn’t see him.’
‘I think I need to see Noah. If not for anything, at least the dream. He was really calling out for me. I think he has things to tell me’
I walked out of the bedroom.
