I woke up expecting Drakes arms to be wrapped around me, but I woke up in the large bed alone. I took my time getting dressed and doing my hair. I tried mimicking the girls that I had seen on the streets I wore a white lace dress with a pair of flats. I walked down the stairs like I was being introduces to a ball to find Josh sitting on the couch in his boxers.

"Good morning Josh."

"Oh… geeze good morning Ashlee. I'm sorry about the boxers I'm just use to it."

"Don't worry about it I have two teenage brothers."

I giggled.

"Umm…Josh where's Drake?"

"Oh… he didn't tell you? He went to a CD signing"

"Oh… well maybe I'll meet him there, we can go out to lunch. Would you like to go with me?"

"Yeah, sure."

"You might want to get changed first. Do you know where it is?"

Josh laughed and started up the stairs.

"Yeah he's at the FYE on the boulevard. It should only take us like 20 minutes to get there."

I waited patiently for Josh to change. When he started down the stairs I just followed him out the door and into his car.

"You know what I would love to go to the beach while I'm here I never been in the Pacific Ocean."

I smiled at Josh.

"I know it's not any of my business but I heard you and Drake fighting last night and if it's about that waitress it was nothing and it was before he even met you. He really likes you when he was talking about you last night he acted like you were the greatest thing in the world and he never acts this way about girls."

I laughed he was so far off the point.

"No we weren't fighting about her. I'm not really the kinda girl that gets jealous that quickly. Me and Drake were not really even going out we're just kinda hanging out. To tell you the truth I have no clue what were doing. We actually fought because Drake got jealous of a guy who called my cell phone last night."

Josh started laughing.

"You must really have him twisted. Well we're here."

I opened the car door and noticed the line of preteen girls swarming the store.

I tried to get through the doors. I couldn't even get close enough for him to notice me, so I went to the corner of the store and sent him a text message telling Drake I was here. Drake stood up looking around I put my hand in the air waving to get his attention.

"Guys I'm just gonna take a five minute break!"

He yelled to the crowd of anxious girls. Drake walked out from behind the table and waved me over.

"Hey baby I didn't want to drag you out to this, it can get kind of boring. Did you get my note? "

"No and I thought it would be nice to surprise you. If you don't want me to stay around there are plenty of shops to go to and I need a bathing suite anyways."

"No, no you can stay here as long as you want."

Two girls came up to us with a camera.

"Aww… That's so cute they want you to take a picture with them."

"Ash I'm sorry. Later I promise just me and you. This is over in like an hour."

"Don't worry about it I think it's adorable, it's who you are. I'm gonna go get some tea and a doughnut. Maybe later we can go shopping for a bathing suite I would really like to go to the beach."

"Sure what ever you want Ash."

Drake leaned in to kiss me but I backed away.

"What's wrong?"

"All these girls are here because they love you and are all dreaming that one day there gonna be you girlfriend, don't break there hearts Drake."

I leaned in close and wisped into his ear.

"I'll see you later."

I smiled and walked out of the store. I walked through the crowd of girls until I was close enough to grab his hand.

"I'm going to get some breakfast. You want to come? Wow all of this from a sneaker commercial? He really loves music."

"Yeah, just give me a second."

I walked to the corner for the street and waited for Josh to emerge from the crowd.

Josh and I found a cute little coffee house packed with people. I text Drake telling him where we where, hoping we could meet up soon. Josh and I sat at a tiny table it was awkward at first but then I broke the ice by asking him about movie and music things that everyone likes. To my surprise he liked hip hop a lot of local rappers. I was totally the other way I liked people like Dave Mathew's band and Bare Naked Ladies. He asked what kind of music Terror 24 made I didn't know how to explain it but it was very emo screamo. I didn't even know if that made sense. They sounded a lot like Hawthorn Heights.

I felt my phone vibrate.

"Hey Drake."

"Okay we'll come down now."

"Bye"

"Drakes going to play a set he wants us to come down to the store."

I told Josh we left a tip on the table and hurried to back to the store. We walked to the front door and made our way to the front of the stage. Drake looked great on the little platform in front of all his fans.

"This is a song form my new CD . I hope everyone enjoys it."

The first time I saw you
I thought you were barefood
Your hair was pulled back, your jelly shoes, I was wondering if I should
lie
About my age

Buddy Holly glasses on a Betty Page negative
You're lookin so classic handpicked by some Hollywood executive
just like Norma Jean
I can't believe I've fallen for you
I can't believe I've fallen for you
way oh
way oh
way oh

the next time I saw you, you asked for a reason
I let my love come down
now you're spending all your time thinkin how you're gonna get even
and I'm by myself
I can't believe I've fallen for you
I can't believe I've fallen for you
I can't believe I've fallen for you
I can't believe I've fallen for you

Good morning now
It's a good morning

The Hollywood ending it never came easy
the bride to be can plainly see and now she says she's ready to kill me
And I'm so afraid
I can't believe I've fallen for you
I can't believe I've fallen for you
I can't believe I've fallen for you
I can't believe I've fallen for you

Drake finished his song the girls went wild screaming and crying his praise and his name. I stood in amazement he was really good he was really a good artist. I waited for Drake to emerge from the back of the stage. He came out about 30 minutes later after the store cleared out.

"That was really good Drake! So you really like Betty Page don't you?"

I asked thinking about the compliment he had given me the day before about my body. I smiled at him and took his hand.

"Thanks Ash. So what was this about getting a swim suite, because I'm all up for seeing that fashion show."

He grinned wickedly.

"Yeah I would really like to go to the beach. Is there a mall or something around here?"

Drake laughed at the question.

"Ash you have some of the best stores rights here were on Hollywood boulevard."

"Drake I'm here for two weeks and I really don't have the kind of money to buy anything on Hollywood boulevard. I was thinking of the like an Old Navy."

"Well if I get to see you in it then I'll buy it for you."

My cheeks turned pink I wasn't the kind of person to take charity. Drake saw the look in my eyes and understood it.

"Ashlee I didn't let you pack and I told you what ever you didn't pack I would get for you, right?"

Drake pulled me in for a hug stopping the people behind us. He didn't care he was just in tune with what I needed.

"Come on Ash… please… We have a great pool at the house. So its either you let me buy you a bathing suite or we go skinny dipping!"

Drake stopped in his tracks once again, turned on his heels and rubbed his chin like he was in deep thought.

"You know what Ash I just forgot I don't have any money on me so I guess were going skinny dipping!"

"Okay fine!"

Drake linked his fingers between mine leading me down the street. I felt people looking at us and I didn't care it felt right, not being in California or dressing like a china doll but holding his hand looking into his eyes everything about him felt good it felt right.
