Dricki: What's Stopping Us

Chapter 35

Drake's POV

It's almost noon and the boys were waiting for Nicki to get ready. I mean, how long does it take to pick a casual outfit.

When she finally came downstairs, all the doors got closed and the security system was activated. After that they hopped into Drake's car.

"So where do you wanna go?" Drake asked Odell while he put his seatbelt on.

"To eat out."

"Just that?" Nicki asked.

"I thought you wanted to do something special."

"Having lunch with my parents is special to me."

Drake and Nicki looked at each other. He know they were thinking about the same thing. Nicki smiled and Drake nodded a little. I started the car and drive off.

30 minutes later, we pulled up at his favourite restaurant. It wasn't so busy like it normally is so no worries. We sat at our usual booth, order our drinks and dishes. Everything like a normal family. Well, as normal as possible.

"Be right back." Nicki said getting up. "I'm going to the restroom."

"Girls..." I said. She stuck her tongue out to me and walked away like the bad chick she is.

I was stuck in a trance looking at her disappearing into the corridors until I saw fingers snapping on my face.

"Dad!"

"Sorry... Got a little carried away there."

"That I could see." Our waiter came over with the chocolate cake that we've ordered for dessert. He left right after.

"Dad, is there something wrong with mom?"

"No, not that I know... Do you know about something?"

"No. Not really. I don't know... Sometimes I see her sad or even crying alone."

"Have you asked her what's going on?"

"Yes, she would just say she's just tired or that something was in her eye..."

Well that's weird. Nicki always seemed fine to me. "She probably doesn't want to worry you."

"But I don't like seeing her like that. Please talk to her."

"I will buddy." I will.

"So, what were you gossiping about?" We heard Nicki say as she was sitting back down.

"Cars." I said.

"Basketball." Odell said.

"Video games."

"Jordans."

"Boys..." She huffed and now Drake was the one sticking his tongue out at her making her roll her at them. We started eating our cake.

"So... Somebody's birthday is coming up..."

"I'm so excited about it." A squealing Odell said.

"What do you want to do for it?"

"I was thinking about the usual pool party, snacks, fun music and lots of games... At mom's..."

"We were suppose to spend your day together this year." Drake said slightly hurt about his son's decision.

"Yeah, well I want us three together... It would the best!"

"Anything to make you happy."

"Yay!'"
