"Please tell me where were going?" I begged giving him my best puppy face.
"No it's a surprise! I promise you'll like it just relax." He said taking my hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
It was a little hard to relax especially since it was the first time leaving the baby with Josh but I had faith in him he was a good uncle. I leaned my head back on the head rest trying to close my eyes for a minute and drift off, letting my body relax.
"Where here babe." A man in red ran over to the car and opened my door.
"Mr. Chows? Drake I really didn't want to see anymore cameras." I said discouraged.
"No baby please I wanted our first night out together since the baby to be the best night ever I got us the private booth and anything you want you can have I mean we'll go out shopping after?" He said cheerfully jumping out of the car and meeting me on the other side. Drake handed the valet the keys to the car. He put his arm around my shoulder and guided me to the front of the restaurant of course it was swamped with paparazzi. I mean it always is it's where all the stars come.
"Drake… Drake … over here how's the baby? What's his name?" An older gentlemen with a camera asked.
"He's doing very good he's a healthy baby. His name is Colton."
"What do you have to say about the newest reports coming out about you?" A younger guy asked.
"Who are you with?" Drake asked as I stood behind him shyly.
"TMZ… The stories about you cheating again with a girl at you house and Ashlee caught you in the pool with her in her underwear's. I mean they have pictures of you and the baby in there with her. What do you think about that Ashley?"
I didn't say anything I just screamed in silence. "I wasn't cheating on Ashlee the girl is my brother girlfriend she didn't have a bathing suit."
"You two must be awfully close the way you guys are hugging in the picture." The guy asked. "Ashlee do you think Drake changed his ways? You can see the pictures on guys are also the same people who ran the story about Bebe being pregnant? She wasn't she did it to get back at Drake. I don't know if he changed were just taking it one step at a time." I said spitefully.
I wrestled out of Drakes grasp and rushed through the front door.
"Reservations for Drake Parker." I said quickly just wanting to be alone.
"Where is Mr. Parker?" She asked with a snotty tone. I knew she didn't know who I was and I didn't care I just wanted to sit down. I focused on my breathing not wanting to have another panic attack. I breathed through my nose and out my mouth. Drake came in behind me putting his hand on my back.
"I'm so sorry Ashlee."
"Let me tell you one thing Drake if I look at those pictures and I find anything inappropriate about them I swear to god Drake." I whispered in his ear.
Drake didn't say anything back to me he just looked down at his shoes while the hostess brought us to our table. The table was in a private room it had the little Chinese waterfall with a coy filled pond.
"Wow this is really beautiful!" I said in awe of this place. We even had our very own waiter.
"What can I get you to drink tonight?"
"Coke… or Pepsi... whatever you guys have." The waiter looked at me awkwardly making me feel self conscious.
"Umm… I'll have some Saki." Drake asked as if he turned forty over night.
"Right away sir."
"Why was he looking at me like that?" I asked quietly.
"I don't know." Drake whispered back.
We sat there for a few the awkward silences was filled with the laughter and chatting of the other patrons outside our private door.
"What's wrong?" I whispered across the table. I sounded as if it had boomed off the walls. "Do you have a guilty conscious?"
"No!" Drake yelled which made the silent barrier shake around the room. "You don't believe me you don't trust me!"
"Drake if you would have seen me in the pool in my underwear's with any guy would you not flip out?"
"Yes but its different this is Josh's girlfriend?" Drake stated. I could feel my face scrunch with anger, fear, jealousy, and hurt. "I know I know Jenna. You're gonna bring her up every time something goes wrong. I was wrong I hurt you and Josh the two people in the world that I love most. I'm sorry I feel dumb and trashy! I know!" He said leaning his head back over the chair.
"Drake I didn't say anything about that….plus all I said was if I think there not as innocent as you say they are I don't know what I'll do but I don't know if I can stick around if something like that happens again. I'm sorry but that's the truth."
"Ash please don't say that." The waiter came over with our glasses. "Can you give us a minute and leave the bottle of Saki." Drake demanded. "Why would you say something like that… that you would leave me again… is that all you have to threaten me with."
"I'm not threatening you Drake I'm just telling you… if you screw me over again I'm out."
"Fine I didn't do anything… Josh was there! Let's have a nice fucking dinner."
"No you have a nice dinner by yourself." I pushed my chair out and stormed out of the restaurant. I could hear him call after me but I just ignored it and caught a cab home. I know what the tabloids are going to say but if no one else cares why should I care?
