Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Waking up a bit late, I went into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I didn't take my bath since I wasn't going anywhere.

I walked lazily to the kitchen and picked an apple on the basket. I settled on the chair and was eating when I heard a knock on my door.

"Am coming!", I said as I dragged my feet to the door.

I opened the door only to find a package on the floor. I picked it up and looked at it.

"Oh!! The clothes", I murmured as I made my way inside again.

I opened the box and stared at the lovely gown.

I went into my bedroom and put it in the wardrobe.

I went back to the kitchen and prepared breakfast. I made some french toast with Bacon and fried eggs.

I went into the sitting room and settled my food on the table.

I went to the kitchen again to get a fruit juice.

Coming back to the sitting room, I settled on the chair and put on the television.

I was watching "kissing Booth" and ate my food deliberately as my eyes were glued to the screen.

I sat there for hours still watching the movie when a message popped on my phone screen.

I took it immediately, it was from Drake.

Drake: I will pick you up by 5:00P.M

Me: oh! Ok.

I checked the time it was already close to 3 O'Clock. I stood up immediately and packed the plates have left there since morning.

I went into the kitchen and dropped them in the sink and quickly washed it.

I found my way to my bedroom. I went into the bathroom to have a bath, and I spent more than hours.

I applied my hair treatments after washing my hair. I stepped out of the bathroom and dried my hair.

I got back into my room and applied lotion on my skin. I brought out my clothes from the wardrobe and wore it.

"OMG!!!", I  gasped as I looked at myself in the mirror. The clothes fitted at the right places.

After grinning like a little child. I took my make up accessories and did a light make up. Applying a pink lipstick on my lips.

I brushed my hair and left it fall in waves.

Feeling satisfied with my looks. I wore my heels and clutched my  purse. Taking one more look at myself.

I smiled," Am good to go".

I checked the time and it was 5 minutes to 5.

I headed to the sitting room and heard a knock on my door.

I tried to calm my nerves before I went to the door.

I opened the door and saw Drake looking more handsome.

He looked at me and his mouth was agape.

I raised my brow at him, smirking at him.

"God!! Amanda you look extremely gorgeous and beautiful", he said.

" You not looking bad yourself", I said as I adjusted his bow.

I even got surprised by my own actions.

He smiled at me as he put a rose flower on my hair.

I got out of my apartment and locked the door.

I was walking ahead of him, when I realized he stopped in his tracks. I turned back and looked at him. He was biting his lips as he looked at me.

Your dress has some cuts in the back! A part of me reminded me.

I have totally forgotten about that. I smiled at him and he walked faster to me as he grabbed my wrist and pushed me a little to the car.

His lips crashed on mine and he kissed me passionately, I moved my lips against his.

He stopped and looked at me in the eyes. Each one holding something behind them.

He opened the car door for me and I got in.

He went to the driver's seat and got in, then he started driving.

I was curious to know where we were going.

"So where are we going", I asked.

"You will know when we get there", he said as his jaw twitched.

I knew it would be one of his favorite rich places. I didn't say anything and looked out through the window.

We finally stopped and we were in front of a place that actually looked like a tourist suite.

I didn't even realize that he has already opened my door. He brought out his hand and I took it as I stepped out of the car still looking at how beautiful the place is.

He closed the door and faced me.

"Shall we", he bowed slightly like a gentleman.

"Yes!", I said as I laughed.

I took his hands in mine as we continued walking.

I saw different people and I guessed they were also rich and minded their own business.

"Amanda, please can you close your eyes", Drake said looking at me.

" Why?", I asked raising a brow at him.

"Just do it, please!!", He begged.

I smiled and closed my eyes. I felt his hands around my eyes as he made sure I didn't see a thing.

"Move!!", He whispered in my ears which made me shivered.

I started walking not knowing where I was going to.

"Stop!!!", He said.

I did as I was told to until he removed his hands from my eyes. I opened my eyes slowly until I felt my jaw dropped.

"My! God!!", I gasped.

It was a garden, with different kinds of flowers and table was set in the middle.

"It's beautiful", I said as I felt my breathe.

" Not as beautiful as you are", Drake said as he wrapped his hands around my waist.

I turned slowly to him and hugged him.

"Thank you, I love it" , I said.

He kissed my forehead and we made our way to the table.

He drew out my seat and I sat down and he moved to his own seat.

The waiter came and brought a champagne and put it on the table and went to bring our orders.

Drake took the bottle and filled the glasses. We made a toast and we drank the wine.

The waiter brought our food and I smiled immediately I saw it.

Drake chuckled and I rolled my eyes at him.

A message popped in on his phone and he laughed. I arched my brow at him while I was eating.

He showed me the message and I coughed out what I was eating.

This is Annie, Amanda's friend infact bestie, I know she is right there with you. And I want you to take real good care of her and make her special but if you do otherwise I will treat your fuck-up!!.

I read the message with my eyes nearly popping out of its socket.

"She is really something else", I smiled.

"She is protective of you", he smirked.

I looked at him and he placed his hands on mine.

"I will do anything to make you happy, Amanda", he said.

I couldn't help but smile.

"Let's dance", I said when I listened to some music.

He stood up and came beside me, I  took his hands in mine and stood up. He placed his hands on my waist and I placed my hands on his chest.

I swayed along with the music and looked up at him, I leaned closer to him and kissed him. He moved his lips immediately on mine and I felt the sweetness of his tongue on mine.

After kissing for minutes, I rested my head on his chest.

We went back to car and I got in.  Drake went over to his side and got in. He played a romantic music and I couldn't help laughing.

"So you listen to romantic music", I asked laughing.

He looked at me surprised and nervous.

"Am I not romantic", he asked.

Now it was my turn to be nervous.

I looked at him and smiled.

" Yes you are", I said.

He smiled back and placed his hands on my knee.

I looked out through the window and hummed along with the song.

We got to my house and he stopped.

"Like seriously I don't want you to go", he said looking at me.

I looked at him and put my hands on his cheeks.

"Don't worry I will be fine", I said.

I opened the door and was about to step out when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me in again.

I got shocked and stared at him.

"I haven't collected my good night kiss", he smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him.

He moved closer and kissed him. I got out of the car and waved at him as he drove off.

I stood in front of my door and opened it. I got in and locked the door and made my way to my bedroom.

I switched on the light and saw a piece of paper on my bed. Getting scared I moved closer to my bed and took the paper with shaky hands.

I'm back for you, sweetie!!, It was written in a terrible way, I heard someone moving behind and as I turned to look back, something got smashed on my head and I felt my body go limb as I allowed darkness to sail through me.

Drake POV.

I got home not feeling comfortable leaving Amanda behind, I don't know why. But have been scared something might happen to her when I dropped her at her house.

I took my phone and dialled her number. It was ringing but she didn't pick, I tried it again, it kept ringing but she didn't pick. Calling her for the 10th time she didn't pick.

Something is not right ,I thought as I jet speed out of my building and went to the car.

I got in and called her number again but it's saying switched off.

I got to her house within 30 minutes. I got out of my car and went over to the door only to find it ajar.

I was getting frightened now.

"Amanda!!!", I shouted as I got inside but no answer.

I saw a light from one of the rooms and went in.

It was her bedroom. I saw the wrinkled paper on the floor and picked it.

My face turned white as I read the words. I looked at the floor and saw traces of blood on the floor.

My heart skipped a beat as I thought what would have happened to Amanda.

Who came back for her or is it.........
