Chapter15:Why?
About one hour later,guess who finally showed up?Devin!
"Hello little Randa,I'm home!",Devin called,as he threw his leather jacket on the ground,and looked around,to see where Randa and Drake were.
"Uh,Devin's home.",Randa said,as she fixed her blouse,and Drake wiped off Randa's lip gloss,so that Devin wouldn't know that they had been making out.
"In here!",Randa and Drake yelled.
"Oh there you are,I was starting to think you were doing something inappropriate.",Devin said,walking into his living room.
"Why would you think that?",Randa asked,nervously,so much that it showed in her voice.
"Randa,you really must think I'm an idiot.Two teenagers that seemed very much in love at my concert,alone in my mansion,on my couch,unsupervised.You must've been doing something.",Devin replied,as he sat down in between Randa and Drake who had pulled away from each other,upon the arrival of Devin.The truth was,they hadn't been doing anything other than making out.They hadn't even thought of doing anything else,had they?
"Of course we weren''t.",Drake replied,cooly,it was his cool lying voice that adults always fell for.
"Oh.Okay.Then tell me this Randa.Why are your brazierre staps down to your elbows?",Devin asked,knowing that Randa would reply honestly.
"Because Uncle Devin,we were just,you know.making out.Its really no big deal,I mean,its not like in three months,I'm going to have to buy a test.",Randa said,not convincingly.
"Really?Randa,Drake,I really love you two,well Randa,I love you.Drake,you're a good kid.Randa,Drake,there are things that both of you need to understand.I know what peer pressure is.Hell,I gave in to most of it.But that doesn't mean that you guys should.",Devin said.
"Wait a minute.",Drake began.
"You thought we were having sex?Uncle Devin,all night,even at your concert,my bra has been giving me trouble.Its too small.YOu thought that Drake and I were...",Randa couldn't even finish the sentence,so Drake did.
"You thought I was feeling her up?",Drake questioned.
"What would you think?I mean,you two are obviously in love.Its only natural to assume.",Devin said.
"Uncle Devin,you sure seem to bring up love a lot when you speak of Drake and I.Uncle Devin,have you ever been in love with anything other than your career?I mean,you never go on dates!",Randa questioned,honestly.
"NO,I haven't.I never gave it a try.When I was your age,I was more concerned about getting a record deal to even think about love.THat's what I was talking about with peer pressure.In High School,a rock'n' roll guy like me was cool,because he had tons of girls,and knew how to please them,if you know what I mean.I hope that's not what its like for you Drake.",Devin replied,hoping for the honest answer that this time,Drake would give.
"Thats true.But I haven't.I mean,I love Randa,but we both want to wait.I mean,teenage life is complicated enough,the last thing we need is sex to add on to the list.",Drake replied,noticing that this time when he said he loved Randa,it didn't freak her out.
"Yeah.I love Drake too.I think that you can't really have love,unless you all stand on the same common ground about sex.Uncle Devin,all the guys htat I've ever dated,always wanted to go further with me than I wanted.Drake doesn't think that way.",Randa added,noticing that Drake and her would be together forever.Then they both saw that Devin was crying.
"Devin,why are you crying?",Drake asked,figuring that it was because they loved each other.
"Because I wish I had that.I'm happy for you two.YOu deserve each other.",Devin replied,shoving away the tears that had begun to stream down his face.
"You will.",Randa replied,as she squeezed Devin's hand,and put her head on his shoulder.
"Oh,Dev,you won't tell Mr.Monroe about this,will you?I mean,he might not let us see each other if you do.",Drake asked,hoping he wouldn't.
"Who would I be if I broke up true love?You two were meant to be,and I couldn't break up true love.",Devin replied,stepping off of his couch,and walked upstairs to his bedroom.
