“Thanks.” I said

“No problem.” He said. Drake gave me a crooked smile that have so much effect on me. I blushed. “Lea…” Before he got to finish, I walked away. After a few minutes to calm down, I went up to say a toast to Sabrina and Nicholas. I went to the middle of the ballroom floor where the mic is. The butler hand me a glass of Champaign. “Thanks.” I drank the whole thing. Then I grab another glass and gave him the empty one. I grab the mic. Everyone was looking at me. My heart was racing, so I start to blush.

“Hi everyone. My name is Lea. I would like to make a toast for Sabrina and Nicholas. You guys have the strangest relationship, but you’ll love for each other is so strong. I admire that so much. You’ll went through some ups and downs, but it only made you stronger. Trust me when I say this. Marriage is not easy. But you have to work through it. Sabrina, I know you are scared that things won’t work out. I’ve been there. I’m still going through it.” I look at Drake. He was looking right back at me. “I’ve got my heart broken a year ago and I’m still scared to go through that again.” I look back at Sabrina and Nicholas. “Sabrina, you asked me why I’m still single…Well, you’ll gotten your answer. That’s why I can relate what you going through. When I met you two, I knew you two was right for each other. As soon as I brought you two together, I saw love in you’ll eyes. Like I’m seeing now. So you don’t have to worry about anything. I wish you both the best.” I raise my glass with everyone else. “Cheers.” After we drank our glass of Champagne, Sabrina came to me and gave me a hug as everyone cheer.

 After that, Nicholas and Sabrina cut the cake. I stayed for another hour until I have to go. I went upstairs to grab my suitcase. I put on my jacket and went downstairs. The Knight family was waiting. I smiled. Gabriella was the first one to come and give me a hug. 

“I’m going to miss you.” Gabriella said.

“I’m going to miss you too.” I said. Gabriella backed away as she wiped her tears.

“After everything that happened.”

“Of course.” Gabriella smiled.

“Good.” I hug everyone else. I really going to miss them.

“Are you sure you want to leave? You can stay another night.” Crystal said

“I’m sure. I have to be at the train station early. If I stay here another night, then it really going to be hard to leave.” I said as I kissed Louis on his forehead.

“Well, you just remember that you have a second home here. So stay in touch with us.” Mr. Knight said. Tears ran down my cheek as I smiled.

“I know.” I said as I gave him a hug.

“Tell your Dad we said hi when he wakes up.” Mrs. Knight said as I gave her a hug.

“I will.” I said. I step back and look around. “Where is Drake?”

“He left. Drake really don’t like good byes.” Nicholas said. I felt a little hurt, but maybe it was a good thing that he is not here. I nod my head and smiled.

“Well… can you tell him I said bye. Please.” I said

“Of course we will.” Ana said. I went to Lucas and gave him a hug.

“Be safe.” He said.

“Of course.” Caleb carried my suitcase to the taxi. “Bye everyone. I will miss you all.” I gave Caleb one last hug, then I went inside the taxi. I look out the window and smiled as I watched them as I drove by. They waved and kept yelling ‘I love you’ until I was out of sight. It hurt to be leaving, but I have to go. I wipe my tears with a tissue and lean back in the seat.

In 20 minutes, I was at the hotel. After paying the taxi man, I went inside and check into the hotel. As I caught the elevator to the 3rd floor I start to think about Drake. I look around as I remember we had our first kiss on an elevator. Tears ran down my face as I touch my lips. As soon as the elevator open, I went to my hotel room and got inside. I close my eyes.

‘Lea, get yourself together.’ I thought to myself. As soon as I was calm, I took a hot long shower to relax. When I was done, I put on my night gown. I went through my luggage and picked out the clothes I’m going to wear tomorrow. As soon as I was done, I look around to see what else I can do. It was so quiet. I sat down on my bed to find anything to watch but nothing was on. I was so bored. I groaned and turn off the TV. I grab a Snickers bar from my purse, and grab my camera. I lean back in bed and look through my pictures. They were nice. Some of them I laughed because it was funny. One of them is a pic of me, Ana and Caroline making goofy faces. I took some nice pictures. I start to cry as I see a pic of me and Drake. I took a bite of my Snickers. I changed the picture and it showing Drake holding Louis. I admit, I miss Drake… A lot. I’m still hurt that we never got to say good bye. I jumped when I hear a knock on the door.

“Coming.” I said as I put down my camera and wipe my tears. I put the Snickers on the night stand as I put on a robe and went to the door. I look in the mirror to fix my hair. I was surprised when I see Drake when I opened the door. I frown. “Drake… what are you…” Before I get to finish, Drake kissed me. I couldn’t help but to kiss him back. I admit, I miss his kisses. I was disappointed when Drake broke the kiss. My heart was racing. I open my eyes and I look into his eyes. I took a step back for him turn away from him as I try to catch my breath. But I couldn’t. Tears filled my eyes. “Why did you do that? All you doing is making things worse. Why can’t you just move on?”

“Because I can’t. I already tried. More I stay away from you, then the more I start to realize that…” He said

“Realize what?”

“That… I am in love with you.” He said.  It felt like my heart stopped this one second.

“What?”

“I love you Lea.”

“Well, don’t.”

“Why not?” I finally turn to look at Drake.

‘Because I don’t deserve you. You and Tiffany supposed to be together. She is right for you. She can give you so much more.”

“If I knew that Tiffany was best for me, then I wouldn’t be here.”

“Why me? I’m just a weak human.”

“No you not. Lea, you are beautiful, caring, honest, and sometimes stubborn. But, you are not weak.”

“Drake we don’t belong together.”

“Well… I will wait for you. It might take years but I don’t care.”

“Drake, I’m trying to hurt you. Why you doing this to me?”

“Because you can’t stop the way I feel about you. I know I’m probably not the prince charming, but I want to be. I don’t know if we going to go through some problems in the future. I can’t promise that. But I can promise that I will love you forever. I will start aging again for I can age with you. I can go back to Seattle with you and help you with your business. I’ll help you take care of your father. I want to marry you and have kids with your beautiful eyes and smile that I love so much. I’ll protect you with every inch of my body. All I want is to be with you. I love you Lea. I never said this to a women in my entire life.”

“You willing to do all that for me?” Drake smile as he went toward me. He wipe my tears away.

“Yes. I know it must sound desperate…”

“It’s not. It’s just sound like a man in love.” He pulled me to him and lower his lips to mine. I closed my eyes as our lips touched, feeling a zap of electricity. The room seemed to spin around. A flush of regret wiped over my body. I realized what I am doing is wrong. I thought about Addanc and the deal, but I can’t bring myself to stop the kiss. I clutched desperately, never wanting this moment to end. The urgency in the kiss was unbearable. I wanted him. So, I set the guilt aside and all I thought about is us. I placed my arms around his neck as I drew myself closer. He shut the door behind him with one quick movement, then he pick me up and went to the bed. As soon as he put me down, he kissed me again. My heart was racing. I was filled with passion. Drake trailed his fingers down my body. When Drake untied the robe belt, my heart froze for a second and I knew Drake heard. Drake broke the kiss and moved back. I was a little disappointed.

 “We don’t have to do this. You might be emotional.” He said. I start laughing.

“Shut up.” I said before I pulled his head down and kissed him. He gave in and kissed me back. He finished untying my robe belt and I took it off. His kisses start trailing down my neck. He went back up and kissed me again. He reached up and pulled me deeper into the covers with him, into a never-ending night of pleasure and desire.

**********************************

Now, Drake held me close to him as I laid my head on his chest.

“Are you sure you were a virgin?” He asked. I start laughing.

“Shut up.” I said as I nudge him. He sat up to look at me.

“I’m serious.” He said as he smooth my hair back.

“You read my thoughts.”

“Yea, but you could have been lying.” I roll my eyes.

“Yes, I was a virgin. You just brought that side of me out.”

“I have that effect on women.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah.” He leaned down and kiss me.

“You sound proud of yourself.”

“Not really. I’m just happy to be with you.” He said as he kiss me again. I kiss him back.

“Why?” Drake lean back to look at me and smile.

“I told you it would be hard to resist you.” I smile at him.

“I’m irresistible.” Drake starts laughing.

“Yes you are… You know you lied to me.”

“About what?”

“You said you would never kiss me again…well you did. Also, we had sex twice.” I start laughing.

“So true. Well, you are persuasive.”

“I’m just speaking from the heart. You taught me that. You touch my heart, so I want to return the favor.”

“My Mom use to tell me that too. She said I touched everyone hearts. They would call me their angel.”

“Really?’

“Yea. I thought it was my eyes… but it’s not. I was on the brink of death, but Mom and Dad risk everything to keep me alive. I really don’t understand why they did it.” Tears ran down my cheek. I look up at Drake. “My Mom wouldn’t give me up. She told him, ‘Over my dead body.’ And that is what he did. I watch as he took her life away. If he willing to kill Mom to get to me, then who else he will kill. Drake, why couldn’t she give me up?”

“Lea, she died for you can have a life.”

“What life? When I go back
