I took a shower as Drake sat on my couch eating cereal and watching cartoons I couldn't help but look at him and smile it was like peanut butter and jelly it just went together. I finished my shower and started to get dressed.
"Ashlee"
Drake called from the couch.
"Yeah"
"What are you going to school for?"
I stopped for a second dumbfounded that even though Drake and I have talked for the past 48 hours we didn't know anything about each other.
"I'm going to be a special education teacher."
I sighed thinking it wasn't anything cool like a rock star.
"That's great"
The voice said coming closer. I finished dressing and walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom to blow dry my hair. As soon as the hair drier started he stood behind me with his hands on my hips kissing my neck God it felt great.
"So what's your family like?"
I turned off the drier not really wanting to answer the question. Talking about my family was like talking about politics to me, you never discuss it with friends.
"Ummm… I really don't see them much they live in Philadelphia I have 2 brothers and a sister all around my age. To tell you the truth Johnny, Gavin, Dan and Chris (terror 24) are my family I mean they have always been there for me and my nana, which I have lived with since I was 10."
"That's great."
He said not really knowing what to say.
"We actually have to stop at my nana's before I go to school I need to see if she needs anything. She's great she's a total sweetheart the guys are always over there they call her nana too. You don't have to go in if you don't want to."
I said quickly hoping not to scare him away about meeting my family.
"No why wouldn't I if she raised you she must be great"
He kissed my cheek tightening his grip on my waist.
The day went great we finished all the errands and enjoyed each others company a great deal. We were exhausted and decided to go back to his hotel to order some room service and spend as much time together as possible before he had to leave. He set up a table and lit some candles it was really cute.
"I don't do this."
He said looking embarrassed.
"You don't do what?"
"I never go head over heels… I'm usually ready to go when it comes time for me to leave."
I just sat there a little embarrassed not knowing what to say? Did he think I picked new guys up and slept with them after only knowing them for a day? Because if he did he's greatly mistaken, I just stayed quite and let him continue.
"I'm just gonna say it! I want you to come back with me?"
"Come back where?"
I said almost chocking on air; he looked at me like I had a hole in my head.
"Back to California with me, back to my house. I know it sounds crazy but you still have two more weeks till school starts up right?"
He said as he dropped to one knee as if to propose.
"Drake I'm sorry that is a little crazy I mean… I don't know… I mean we don't know each other…and… gosh…"
I couldn't get the words out because there was a holy war going on between my brain and my heart. My heart says what are you waiting for get home and pack the other side says he's fucking nuts!! But the truth is I didn't know if I wanted to or not, I had just come to terms with him leaving and to just accept it but if I say yes I wouldn't have to accept it.
"I'm sorry Ash I just thought… you know… you felt the same as me."
He got off his knee and sat on a chair and put his chin to his chest. I took a step towards him, sat on his lap and took his hand in mine.
"Yes, I'll go with you."
