Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Shifting lightly on the bed, I figured out I was still sleeping with Drake. I tried to get out of the bed when Drake's arm tightened around my waist.

"Good morning sweetie", he said.

"Good morning", I said smiling at the word he used for me.

"Please can you let me get up", I said.

"I don't feel like", he replied.

I rolled my eyes and turned to look at him.

"We are in the hospital Drake anyone can come in now", I said trying to get some sense in his brain.

"I don't care!, What I care most is having you by my side", he said as he raised his hand to touch my cheeks.

I used that opportunity to quickly get out from bed immediately he removed his arm from waist.

He chuckled at my actions and I sticked out my tongue to him.

"See who's is having fun", Annie said as she walked in with a basket.

I pouted at her and went to hug her.

"Good morning", I said.

"Good morning love, hope you slept?", she asked with concern as she checked my face with her hands.

"I made sure she did", Drake replied making Annie to laugh.

"How are you feeling now?", Annie asked him as she went over to his side.

"Pretty good thanks to Amanda, she slept with me on bed", he said smirking at me.

I glared at him and felt like slapping that mouth of his.

"That's really great Amanda!", Annie said beaming a big smile at me and showing off her teeth.

I knew what that meant by her facial expression.

"I brought some food for you both", she said as she went to where she placed the basket.

"Oh really!!", I said as my stomach grumbled slightly.

She made some sandwiches and burger, bacons and some fruits.

She served us and I settled to eat my food.

I looked over at Drake and he was eating his food also.

"Hey buddy!!!", Luciano said as he walked in.

"Luciano!!", Drake exclaimed.

Luciano went over to him and hugged him.

"How are you doing?",he asked Drake.

"Am fine now", he answered him.

"Do you mind joining us?", Annie asked Luciano.

"Sure I will love to", he said as he winked at her.

I could notice the small pink colour that rose up on her cheeks and I also beam a big smile at her opening my teeth.

She rolled her eyes and dish out some food to Luciano.

" I have good news for you", Luciano said looking at me.

"Is it about Austin?", I asked.

"Yes, he is really a bad criminal, he deals in drugs. But the good thing is that he will be deported to his country which is in Spain and will be kept in prison over there. He won't be able to come to New York again because he has been banned from entering this country", he explained.

"Wooow!! That's good for him", Annie said smiling.

I was really happy when I heard the news and Drake kept his eyes on me making me uncomfortable as I glared at him and he chuckled.

The doctor walked in and  smiled at everyone of us.

"Good morning to you all", he said.

"Good morning", we answered him.

"Please if you don't mind, I will like you to excuse me so I can check on Mr. Triston ", he said.

We all nodded and left the room.

Minutes later.

We were waiting patiently for when the doctor will allow us to get back into Drake's room.

Annie looked up and gasped.

"Is he going home that soon?", She asked.

I looked up to see who she was talking about and Drake was standing right in front of us with the doctor by his side.

"His wounds will heal on time", the doctor said.

Drake nodded and walked over to us.

"Time to go home buddy!" Luciano said as he patted on Drake's shoulder.

"Amanda you are following me", he said as he turned to me.

"I- I can't I have to go home", I said.

"No way you are going back to that house of yours", he said.

"I have to", I replied back.

"You are living with me from now on", he said.

"Drake you can't just  tell me what to do", I shot back to him.

"Do you know how worried you made me when you were kidnapped, you are not going back to your house that's final", he said angrily.

"But I can stay with Annie", I said feeling defeated.

"No you can't Amy", she said.

I glared at her.

"Are you turning me down now?", I asked her.

"It's just that am traveling to Los Angeles and I will be spending over a month", she said looking at her toes.

"You must be kidding me Annie", I said staring at her.

"I wanted to tell you but I couldn't because of the incident that happened", she said looking at me.

"And I will advise you to stay with Drake at this moment", Luciano said.

I turned and threw daggers at him.

"Really!!", I said looking at both of them.

"You will be safe with him Amanda", Luciano said again.

I sighed and brushed my hair to the back.

"Fine!! I will stay with him just for a little while", I said looking at Drake.

"We will see", he said as he made his way out of the hospital.

We followed him behind and I saw his driver waiting for him already.

I hugged Annie as she and Luciano got into his car. I guessed he is taking her home.

I will make sure she gives me a explanation about that.

I got into the car with Drake and the driver ignited the car and drove off.
