my face. 

"Come on. I'll clean your wound."

"I hope you don't feed me your blood or something." Drake laughed.

"You are so funny. Come on." He took my hand and led me to the front of the house. He took out his keys and unlocks the door. He turned to me. "You can go inside."  I look at him suspiciously, and then went inside. I sat down on the couch while Drake got the first aid kit. A minute later, he is sitting next to me on the couch with it. "Take off your jacket."

"Why?"

"For I can make sure you didn't scrape anything else."

"Ok." I took off my jacket and laid it next to me. When I look back at Drake, I can see him checking me out. I look down and realize I was still wearing my night gown. I gasped

"Drake!"

"What?" I look back at him

"Focus. I'm bleeding."

"Ok. Show me your hands." I did as I was told. He opened the first aid kit. He took out a packet and opened it. From what I smell, it is alcohol. He took my hand and put the alcohol pad on it. I bit my lower lip to keep myself from screaming. Drake smiles. 

"You are enjoying this?" Drake looks at me, then back at my hand. 

"You can probably say that."

"Go on. Laugh. Laugh that I fell off the fence."

"Why were you outside?"

"I told you. I was just enjoying the view."

He looks back at me. "Were you trying to run away?"

"No. You can't get rid of me that easily. I just couldn't sleep."

"So you decided to get on top of the fence?"

"No. I tried to get back in, but the door was locked. So I thought I could get to the front of the house if I climb across the fence."

He raised an eyebrow. "You are so weird... and confusing."

"Thank you."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you so weird?"

"People said I get it from my Mom."

"Really?"

"Yeah." I look away. Drake finished cleaning my hands. "Drake?"

"Yeah?"

"Where were you?" Drake bandaged my hand, then look at me. 

"Like you, I went out to get some fresh air."

I raised an eye brow at him. "Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"I can tell that you are lying."

"How?"

"Your clothes are wrinkled, your hair is ruffled, you got lipstick mark on your neck, your breath smell like liquor, and...” I leaned over and took a sniff of him. "Sex."

He leaned over and smile. "Wow. You really are good." He was so close. My heart was speeding up. Drake could tell I was nervous. I bit my lower lip. I just couldn't look away. Drake looked at my lips. I blushed and moved back. I smooth my hair back as I took deep breaths. 

"Thanks... I guess." Drake leaned back too.

"Did you get this from your Mom too?"

"No. I just knew. I start noticing more things after my ex-boyfriend cheated on me."

"Let me guess. He told you?"

"Good guess, but no. I noticed when every time he would come to see me. He would smell like sweat and girls perfume with a hicky and kiss marks all over his neck."

"Why he cheated on you?"

"Because of the sex."

"Oh. So you wasn't good at it." he smiles

I frowned. "No, I just wouldn't have sex."

"Why?"

"I'm not telling you." Drake leaned forward.

"Tell me."

"I'm a virgin." I covered my mouth and look at Drake in shock. He raised an eyebrow at me. 

"A virgin? Really?"

"You compelled me!"

Drake leaned back. He looked pleased with himself. "Yeah."

"Stop doing that!"

"No. It’s fun. You’re adorable when you are mad. Besides, I’m surprised you’re still a virgin."

I blushed. “Why?”

“You’re gorgeous.”

“Well I’m not going to have sex with anybody like you do. I’m trying to wait for the right person. I just don’t see the point to have meaningless sex.”

Drake smiles a little. “I guess you’re right.”

“Why you do it?” He looks away from me.

“I don’t know. I just don’t see the point in waiting.”

“Have you even tried?” He looks at me and held my gaze.

“No. Why would I? I have needs. The attention the ladies give me is amazing. It makes me feel wanted. Besides, it get my mind off of other things.”

“Drake, you are wanted. You’re wanted by your family.”

He smiles. “I know, but that’s not enough. I want more.”

“Maybe that is enough. You just don’t know it yet.” Now it was quiet. Drake looks away.

I yawned. "Wow. I guess I'm tired after all. I should be going to bed." I stood up.

"I'll go with you." Drake stood up. We both went upstairs and he led me to my room. I turned to him and look up.

“Good night.” I said. He gave me a crooked smile. I felt my heartbeat stop for a second.

“Good night. Thank you for the… talk.” He leans down, kisses me on my forehead, and walks away. As soon as he walk around the corner, I went inside the bedroom and shut the door.

 

 

Chapter 6

 

I woke up with the sun shining on my face. I look at the alarm clock. It was 9:00 am. I sat up and got out of the bed. I did my usual routine. I took a hot shower, brushed my teeth, put on a stretch honeycomb leather dress with black flats, and I flat ironed my hair. When I was done, I decided to make my bed. After that, I left the room and went downstairs. The house was quite. I went into the kitchen and I see Sabrina, Gabriella, Caroline, Crystal, Mrs. Knight, and Peter. 

 

"Hi everyone." I said. They look at me and smile. 

"Hey. Are you hungry?" Mrs. Knight asked

"Yes."

“Try this. They are fresh from the oven.” Mrs. Knight handed me a chocolate muffin. It was still warm. I took a bite and… it taste awful. It was burnt and it didn’t taste like chocolate. “How does it taste?” I look at Crystal and she shook her head.

“Wow. This is… delicious.”

Mrs. Knight smiled. “You really think so?”

“Yeah.”                                                 

“Take another bite. The second bite would be much better. Take a big bite.” This was torture. I took a big bite from the muffin. I almost threw up, but I chewed and swallowed it.

“That’s enough for me. I am full.”

“But, you only took two bites off it.”

“That’s all it take for me to get full. Two bites.” I turned around. “Hey Peter. Where is Drake?”

“He’s outside with the rest of the guys.” He said

“Where?” I said

"He is at the front of the house."

“Thanks.”

“Peter, I don’t know why you not with the rest of the guys.” Sabrina said

“You know he is gay, so he wants to do girly things.” Gabriella said.

“I’m not gay. Can I just sit here and hang out with Mom.” Peter said

“Or maybe, you just want to hang out with the girls.” Crystal said

“Come on girls. Stop messing with Peter. If he says he is not gay, then he is not gay.” Caroline said

“Thank you Caroline. That’s why you my favorite.” Peter said. This family is strange. I talked to them for a little while before I stood up.

“I need to go. Drake and I should start looking.” I said

“Ok dear. Do you want another muffin to eat later?” Mrs. Knight asked

“No.” I said quickly. Mrs. Knight raised an eyebrow at me. “I mean… I don’t want to eat it all. Everyone else needs to eat. Besides, I still need to finish this muffin.” I held up the muffin.

“You got a point. Well, have a nice time.”

“Good luck.” Crystal said.

“You will need a lot of it.” Gabriella said.

“Thanks… I guess.” I said. I left out the kitchen and went out the door. The guys stop talking that same second. I blushed. “Drake… we need to go.” The guys now looked at Drake.

 

“Can we go later? I’m a little busy.” He said

Now I was pissed. He got the nerve to tell me he is busy after I told him last night to get ready. The guys now looked at me. “You weren’t too busy last night while you were sleeping with those girls.”

“Damn. She told you.” Nicholas said

“Shut up.” Drake said. In a second, Drake was in front of me. He smile at me.  “Lea? Can you please wait inside?”

I frowned. “No.” I said. I can feel everyone watching us. I look over and see the girls from the kitchen, looking out the window. I look back at Drake.

“I didn’t eat.”

“Eat this.” I gave him the rest of my chocolate muffin. “Now come on.” Drake smile went away.

“Why do you have to be so difficult? Did you get this from your Mom too?”

“No. Wrong again… I got it from my Dad. Now get in the car.”

Drake looks at me in shock. He was about to say something, but stopped himself and went to the car. I sighed in relief as I smooth my hair behind my ear. 

 

“Great job Lea.” Mr. Knight said

“Thanks.” I said. “I need to go. I’ll see you’ll later.” Mr. Knight tossed me the keys to the car. I turned and went to the car. As soon as I unlock the door, Drake went inside the driver seat. “What are you doing?” I asked

“I’m going to drive.” He said

“But… I have the key.”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Yes. It’s right here.” I held out my hand, but it wasn’t there. Drake started the car.

“Get in.” I frowned and crossed my arm over my chest.

“This is so unfair.” I went to the passenger side and sat down.

“That was the same thing I was thinking when you made me go to the car.” I put on my seat belt.

“Whatever. Just drive.” Drake smirks and gave me back the chocolate muffin. He starts driving full speed. “Drake!” He turned around the corner so fast. I look out the window and everything was a blur. I closed my eyes. “You are going to fast!”

“I know.” I opened my eyes and glared at him.

“Well stop.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“I like driving fast.” I looked away.

“Whatever you say. Just stop at a café. I need something to drink. “

“Fine.” After a few minutes, he stopped the car in front of a Starbucks. We got out the car and went inside. I threw the muffin away as we sat at a table and a guy came over to us.

 

“Hello. My name is Lucas. Would you’ll like anything to drink?” he said

“No thanks.” Drake said

The guy turned to me and smiled. “How about you?”

“I would like a Chocolate Frappuccino.”

“Did anyone ever tell you that you have the most beautiful blue eyes because you do?”

I smiled. “Um…Thanks.”

“No, thank you. At first I was feeling a little down today, but you made it better.”

“Oh wow.” Drake says. I look at him, then back at Lucas.

“How?”

“By seeing you smile. I like putting smiles on girls’ faces.”

“Well, I’m glad I made it better.”

His smile brighten. “I’ll come back with your drink.”

“Ok.” As soon as the guy left, I look at Drake.

“You got to be kidding me.” Drake said

“What?” I asked

“He was flirting with you and it was so bad.”

“No he wasn’t. He was just being nice.”

Drake raised an eyebrow at me. “I can tell that you have been single for too long.”

“He was just being nice. He said I have the most beautiful eyes.”

“I know you do. But he was still flirting with you.”

I blushed. “You think I have beautiful eyes?”

He gave me a crooked smile. He looks so nervous. “Yea”
