His album had been out for three days and everyone was talking about how much they loved it. Bombarded as I was almost undressed for bed, by Aubrey playing J Cole's St. Tropez, smoking and smiling wide.
" I want to take a little trip -" by little, he meant a luxurious romantic getaway, to but didn't tell me where we were going but I needed to get ready asap, to pack light, and bring bikinis. He was in a good mood whilst being on the phone to my Dad, which was weird. I wondered why he was telling him but then caught myself sprinkling my jaded anxiety onto something I said I wanted again.
" Okay, thanks Andre-"
" what's going on?"
" nothing... just wanted to talk to your dad about something we were talking about in JA"
" oh.. okay-" my bags were ready to go, as his assistants wheeled them away and he bounced and vibed away to the music on repeat. He loved hinting, surprising and did both well.

An hour later we were on his jet, en route to what the pilot called a secret location.
" but where is that baby-"
" a special lovers location-"
" baby.. where the fuck are we going it's 11pm!?"
" so what! Time is nothing-"
" okay"
" Ly... I want you to relax... okay-" he kissed me, and told me I was going to be pampered, spoiled and fucked good, all weekend.
" I always am-"
" you better know it girl-" he smiled, as we went into the bedroom and cuddled up and watched a film before we had sex a couple of times and fell asleep. Woke up for dinner around 3 am and still had a journey time on the dash of 10 hours. The flight was long, much longer than I expected as I gazed out and wondered where we were going. Asia? Australia? Maybe South Africa like I had wanted but would be soon for my tour. We went to bed, before I prepared my outfit for landing knowing it would be hot. When we woke up, he told me it was time to take a shower together, and get my nails and hair done. He told me to make sure I picked a nail design that matched a dress he got for our date night on the Saturday, a flesh caramel and gold coloured lace body hugger, so my nails were ombré with caramel to white and gold embellishments. I looked it up, and it was a Dior Coture beachfront number, that had never been released. The shoes were the best part, he knew my style and complimented me on it often, tan Aveline Jimmy Choos.
" wow baby- this is amazing! I feel so spoiled"
" you should, this is all about you this weekend baby" just as I was going to ask the pilot announced we would be landing soon-"
" we'll be landing in approximately 54 minutes, thank you for being lovely passengers"

We landed at about 6, near a huge Yacht, but was first taken to eat at an actually staffed restaurant. Snapped up by the paps, dressed down to the t and hand in hand with my handsome superstar boyfriend.
" Lylee you look gorgeous!"
" thanks, Drake picked my dress" he was smiling and trying to manoeuvre at the same time.
" Drake and Lylee! Are you celebrating the album release in St Tropez" it clicked now, knowing where we were as he smiled at me and we went inside of the restaurant.
" we're not staying, just needed to let them get the yacht ready... and talk to you-"
" I'm hungry though!" He was laughing and hungry too, but trying to stall as there was a slight delay with a plan he couldn't share with me just yet.

" there's a whole staff of chefs on the-"
" yeah okay, let me get some bread at least -" he laughed as he took a piece himself and passed me the basket and butter. We fed each other, listing the nasty things we would do when we finally got to our room. The amount of things he had in mind were extensive, exciting and almost ready as we were told the home away from home was ready. It was a 200 million dollar yacht, with 6 bedrooms, entertainment rooms, a dining room that looked like a cathedral and spa facilities. I was blown away rarely, but he recorded me as we were given a tour and settled into our room before we were called onto the deck for a candle light four course feast. It was needed, quality time to just be in love, looking into each others eyes and remembering why it was all worth it.
" I'm so proud of you Ly..."
" thanks Aub.. I'm proud of you, you're an incredible man and-" He stood up, and knelt down beside me as a camera guy appeared, and I noted a drone recording us too.
" Lyleeanna Jada Santiago-" he took my hand
" yeah baby-" I was crying already, knowing what was coming but not quite believing it. Hearing what sounded like live singers approaching too, as the world seemed to stop and my heart raced. His face, held by my other hand as he looked up at me with tears in his eyes.
" I love you, I love you so much...and I consider myself very blessed to have you in my life... " almost blinded me when he opened the blue box, and asked if I like it as I kissed him.
" Lyleeana Jada Santiago...will you do me the honour of being my best friend and wife, for the rest of my life?" I was nodding yet still so shocked, hearing it from his mouth in a way only his heart could have formed.
" yes! Of course babe, oh my God! Yes!!" Placed the ring on my matching nails, 36 carat white gold. He smiled and picked me up and I wrapped myself up and around him.
