Chapter Four
Jemima's POV
I felt like I was lying on top of something warm and cossy which for sure wasn't my tiny bed.I opened my eyes only to find myself in a beautiful room.
I felt like l could lie on that queen size bed forever but how did I get here?Only drug dealers, cult, royalty and of course rich kids afford such a place. But I am surrounded with broke people, none of my friends are ballers.Then what am I doing here?
I could my heart racing so fast.I peeped inside the duvet and I had on a white to shirt.But I wasn't in pain, in fact I have never slept so peaceful.
"Did they take my kidney?" I begun talking to myself.I touched my abdomen and there was no stitches.
"Do they want to ofter me as a sacrifice?"I said a simple prayer as tears streamed down my face.
"God I am a good girl, let me not die like this. know I shouldn't have trusted that stranger in that bar.Please don't let him harm me.How couldn't I have realised he was fraud with the cap and glasses?" I spoke in almost a loud voice.
"I even kissed him" I screamed, rubbing my lips over the grey duvet which was so soft,"I am a cheap woman." I know what I do,will run away.struggled to sit upright only for my head to feel like it would crack open. I can't even sit, how will I run away?
I was busy massaging the sidelines of my head, cursing myselt for drinking too much when I heard someone ldaughing.. litted my head up and my heart sang with delight.A handsome had leaned on the wall, his hands shoved in his grey sweatpants. He had that brown Adonis look.He seemed at least 6'4 inches or maybe taller.I had this urge to touch his firm arms.Where did he come from?Did he fall from heaven? Focus Jemima, even Lucifer is handsorme.Maybe he is a devil in disguise Am not scared anymore, take wherever you want baby.
"Focus Jemima" I shook my head and slapped myself softly.
"You know you are crazy and weird right?" He chuckled.Ulalala!l! His voice cuts through your heart.Deep and husky.
"Jemima have you seen the lips?" My subconscious mind whispered to me. "Yes dummy, they are ripe ready to be kissed..." I blurted out loud.
"But you already kissed them." He shook his head. I covered my face with my hands feeling embarrassed.
"How is your ankle now?" He asked and that's when I redlised my foot was bandage."What happened?" I asked softly.
"You were crying, I comtorted you then you kissed me..." He raked his messy hair with his fingers.
This man is gloriously attractive.I need enough air to calm my screaming lung. "Was I a good kisser?" I
"Are you serious?" He begun walking towards me. Pleàse stop right there or l am gonna collapse. I don't know if I can hold myself from hugging me when you are so close to me.He sat on the bed so close to me that his Scent filled my lungs.Damn, he smells so good.
"What's your name?"
"Jamy, vary,Jaa.I mean Jemima."
"Why are you tensed?" He took my hand and place it between his,"I don't bite..You will stay here for some few days until your foot is better." I am not scared of you, it's just that your looks stuns me.
"What's your name?"I stammered. He raised his eyebrow at me as it had said Something wrong.
"Do you love basketball?"He asked and I shook my head in disapproval.
"Do you love Kube Bryan?" What with the questions dude?l just want to know your name.
"I have heard of it..."His dark eyes made me weak at my knees.
Do you know any player?Did you hear about the goal in the Olympics?"
"Please I just want to know your name.If you don't want tell me I can call you cute eyes.One can get lost in them you know.I tried to divert the basketball nonsense but all in vain...
"You haven't answered me Jemima?" My name sounds so sexy when he says it.
"My brother talked about a Drake something but can't remember.He did the country proud.I hate basketball so l don't follow up . But my bestfriend does and..."Before I could finish what I needed to say, he placed his finger on my lips.
"You know you talk alot Mima" He smiled. Let me bite your finger, pretty please!
"I will get you something to eat" He stood from the bed and walked out of the room. Vee needs to hear about this.I could feel my heart pounding in my ears.
His looks makes me question what I saw in Kane.He is way below average of what this guy looks like. I wish I could see his abs and chest. Come think of it, is he an Ethiopian, American, Chinese or a mixed race?He is a beautiful baby.
Minutes later, he walked in with a tray.Is he kidding me? a bowl of popcorns, glass of juice aind some painkillers.
"Are we watching a movie?"I asked when he placed the tray on the nightstand
"Why?"
"The popcorns,hello?"
"This is what I could find in the kitchen.."
"I have a hangover, I need food not snacks"
"But..." I interrupted him,"I am starving..I feel like my head will crack open.I might be tiny but l eat alot. This is like torture to my poor stomach."
"The pizza will be here soon.I need to go to work." He kissed me on the cheek and turned around walking towards the door.
"Jemima" He paused, his hand on the door knob,"You should shower.You smell like liquor and vomit..."
"And the white t-shirt am wearing?"
"Don't worry, I saw what was to be seen but didn't touch." He opened the door and left.The nerve of him but why is he so handsome?
Chapter FiveJemima's POVI got back to sleep after he left only to wake up with the sound of the doorbell. "Stop ringing the doorbell..." I pleading before shoving a pillow over my face hope it would stop.But it seemed the person on the door was persistent. I staggered trom the bed, cursing the person on the door beneath my nose. When I walked in into the living room, I begun to look around and forgot Someone was at the door.There was a huge photo of a soaring eagle, glamorous chandelier, coffered ceiling, classy black sofas was busy looking around when I heard the doorbell again. Sweet Lord, I forgot.I face-palmed myself."Who is it?" I asked, my hand already on the door knob"It's the pizza yoU ordered." I twisted the door knob and opened it."Here is your pizza!" He offered me a half smile."Thank you...""My tip?"

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,

Chapter EightJemima's POVI tried not to think how dumb and embarassing that moment was.There was no way I was ever going to forget it."I am so sorry..."I replied in a low voice." I didn't mean...""It's okay..." I blurted in."Can I please...""I know it's embarrassing and disgusting.I think I am still intoxicated with wine.When I am drunk I can be a little crazy..." I interrupted him again."Jemima?""Don't say anything.It's oka..." He placed his finger on my lips cutting me off.For a moment I got to drown into those beautiful eyes.It was magical."You should stop kissing me without my consent.Don't use me as a rebound, it's not good for either me or you."No words came out of my mouth.I just pulled back.What has gotten into you Jemima?You can't go around pressing your lips on other

Chapter TenDrake's POVI woke up, switched on the lights and turned around to check on Jemima only to find her space empty."Jemima?" I called out walking towards the door when I realised the large glass door that allows you to go to the balcony was open.I walked to the balcony and stood beside her.She was so busy on her phone that she didn't notice me."What are you doing out here so late at night?""It's so calm.I can't remember the last time I had a quiet and peaceful night..." She turned to look at me."Why are you awake?" She asked."I woke up to check up on you and you weren't there...""Don't worry Amy, I am not stupid to kill myself or throw myself over the balcony..." He chuckled and got back to her phone"I hope you are not texting Kane!" I said in a commanding tone and she just shook her head"You know he doesn't de

She pulled away like half of her body wasn't on top of me."Jemima my body is so sore.How do you sleep like you are in a karate class?""I forgot to tell you, I sleep so horribly.I am not the type who sleeps like statues at night""Go get ready, I am taking you somewhere...""Where?""Just go get dressed Jemima." I kissed her on the forehead and left for the bathroom.I stood under the icy cold shower water, my hands on the glass trying so hard to shake Jemima's thoughts off my mind.As every second passes by, I can't stop thinking about her."Jemima get off
Chapter TwelveJemima's POVMy eyes were stuck on the window but I was lost in thoughts.I couldn't get the scene from earlier from my head.I felt a slash on my heart when he pushed me off him and ran to the bathroom.I can bet on my life it wasn't his sister on the phone.He looked tensed and scared when I walked into his room.It was like he was doing something wrong.I didn't like what I was feeling, I have just known him for three days.What if he is dating?Apart of me tried to convince me it wasn't my business while the other part prayed so hard not to be true.My sadness was an ocean of unknowable depths.I leaned my head on the passenger's seat and closed my eyes when my phone pinged with a message.I sat upright quickly to check and it was from Vee.I leaned my head on the passenger's seat and closed my eyes when my phone pinged with a message.I sat upright quickly to
