Tiffany's POV
It was time to go, so we packed up the campsite and then made sure everything was put back before we started on our trek back. Brooke ended up trying to get in Colin's car but Rusty told her to just get in with him so she did. He watched me before getting in and driving off, he looked hurt and I couldn't blame him. I'd led him on a little, but not intentionally I was just being friends with him and now I don't know what we are or if it'll be the same? Drake pulled me in and held my hand as we drove home. I couldn't help but think of Rusty. The way he looked played over and over in my mind the whole trip home. Drake didn't say much all the way home. I think he knew I was still thinking about him and Brooke and well his history. I didn't like the fact that he'd kept it from me. I mean if he'd told me sooner than I would have forgiven him but he didn't and then I find him flirting with his ex-girlfriend so what was I supposed to think? We stopped at a truck stop for more fuel and a drink. I told him to grab me a coke so he walked in and I saw Brooke walk in after him. I watched as they talked but they kept their distance before they walked out. I turned away, I don't want Drake to think that he can't speak to her or any other girl but he just needs to be aware not to flirt with them. I know he's charming and sexy but the flirting needs to stop, especially since he gave me a promise ring. That was a big commitment and I wanted him to stand by that. He handed me the coke and when everyone else was ready we all drove off – home.
On our way back I started to feel guilty and I turned to him and said "I'm sorry. I should trust you more. It's just hard when I'm new and this is new, I don't know your history and people talk and I can't help but listen and I'm sorry. I should trust you. If we don't have trust then what do we have?" Drake smiled and kissed my hand
"Tiff, let's just move on and work on it together. If it seems like I'm flirting or getting too close to another girl. Say something or do something okay. I don't want to fight or break up? Okay?" I laughed a little
"Okay" we held hands all the way home and things became better between us.
Drake stayed up in my room for a while after we'd gotten back. He was lying on the bed and I was at my desk typing away when Dad came in. We looked over and he smiled "Hi, Mr Jenkins" Drake said from the bed
"Hello Drake, how was the trip?" he looked at me
"Good, interesting"
"I'm glad but I did have one question for you both?" I turned around and Drake sat up on the bed
"Yeah?" he asked
"What is this?" he grabbed my hand were his ring sat and Drake stood up
"Mr Jenkins, it's not an engagement ring. It's a promise ring! I promised you're daughter to love only her and to be with just her" he winked at me and I blushed
"Well alright but no funny business happened did it?"
"Oh No, nothing like that"
"DAD!" I screamed at him.
My Dad chuckled before walking to the door "I don't need grand babies right now okay. I'm too young and so are you!" Drake went red in the face and I threw a pencil at him
"Get out Dad!" he quickly waved and disappeared.
I got up and walked over to Drake and wrapped my arms around his neck "You okay?"
"Yeah?" he looked dazzled so I gave him a kiss, which seemed to work.
He started to relax more and his hands snaked around my body "He was joking and not joking"
