Today is the day of Drake 21st birthday party his real birthday is in the middle of the week so I thought he would be more surprised if I did it the weekend before. He had been working crazy hours in the studio and on the music video so I had plenty of time to go do everything. Drake and I were doing better then we ever have been before we were finally being truthful with each other. Plus we had found a house! We are so excited it was going to be like our house, we were just waiting on the finally paper work to go through.
Drake was sitting on the couch watching TV and eating cereal enjoying his day off.
"So what do you say we go out tonight?" I asked trying to sound as casual as possible.
"I have plans."
My jaw almost hit the floor all his friends knew about the party everyone he knew, knew about the party.
"With who?"
"Bebe asked us to come to the wrap party and since I was in the video I would like to go."
Fudge fudge fudge! I didn't invite her because I don't like her!
"Okay well we will go to dinner first and then go!" I thought once he was at his party he wouldn't leave, right? God I hope so.
"Ummm… I don't know I'll think about it."
I bit my lip so hard I thought I was going to draw blood. I went in the kitchen to wash some dishes. I needed to come up with a plan. And then I thought of it I would just call Bebe and explain everything. I grabbed Drakes cell phone off his bureau and skimmed through it till I found her.
-------------------------------------------Phone Conversation------------------------
( The phone only rang once and she sounded like a hyper cocker spaniel)
Bebe- Oh Drakie I'm glad you called! I was thinking about you.
(Drakie… OMG please gag me!)
Me- No it's not Drake it's Ashlee his fiancé.
Bebe- Oh… right yeah… what do you want?
Me- Well Drake told me about the wrap party tonight and I just wanted to tell you that I had planed this huge 21 birthday party for him and it's a surprise and its tonight…
Bebe- Awl… I would love to go…
(Crap I didn't invite her, but if this is what its going to take Drake to get there then fine and if I really decided that I didn't want her there then I just wont remember to put her on the list!)
Me- Well yeah it's at the Diego club at 6 pm. But I was wondering if you could help me maybe call drake and tell him that the wrap party was cancelled so I could get him there on time.
Bebe- Okay… I can do that.
Me- Don't forget it's a surprise please
Bebe- Okay I'll call a little later.

I walked back into the apartment and he was just lying on the couch lifelessly memorized by the Tom and Jerry like cartoon on the screen. I sat down beside him and put my head on his shoulder; I looked up at him and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
He smiled at me putting his arm around me and drawing me closer to him.
"What's that for?" He asked snuggling his nose into my neck.
"I don't know you just looked so cute sitting there."
"Yeah right…"
"I'm serious I haven't seen you so relaxed in a long time."
"So where did you want to go for dinner?"
"Uh-huh… I knew you would come around. I was thinking it would be a surprise. I want to take you some where nice." I shifted over until I was on his lap and my arms around his neck.
"Well that sounds good. We'll go at like 5."
I pulled myself off of him and made my way to the bedroom I had a ton of phone calls to make and that really consisted of my whole afternoon. Time flew by and I thanked god for Josh because he went to the club hours before the party to make sure everything was being set up just right.
It was 4:30 and Drake still hadn't gotten off the couch.
"Babe come on I made reservations please get up and get dressed."
"There's no wrap party so I invited Bebe to come out to eat with us."
"Drake! Why? Come on babe!" and some more moans and grunting.
"Ash come on I felt bad. She had nothing to do tonight."
"Okay well I'll call her and tell her where to meet us."
"Why can't she just come here?"
"Drake please if you ever could do anything for me please just do this."
"Fine…fine…"
"Good now get dressed!"
Drake got off the couch and put on a pair of jeans, rock tee and velvet sports coat. He looked adorable; I was dressed in my new black V neck halter. I loved it I curled my hair and painted my face up. Drake couldn't keep his hands off of me I could hardly drive. We finally came to Diego's and everyone was waiting out said the movie theater style sign read 'Happy Birthday 21 Drake'.
"Ash what did you do? Oh My God it's great."
"Come on get out of the car. It looks a hundred times better inside."
