INSECURITIES.

CHAPTER 47.

A/N.
Hi people, I just wanted to use this medium to appreciate everyone who is still reading my book till this point despite my slow updates. Thank you for sticking with INSECURITIES. This chapter is a continuation of Jasmine's birthday and it will be in Drey's POV. I'm really excited to write this chapter. Are you excited to read?

Drey's POV.

"They said save the best for last and that is why I'm the last to talk about my shawty right now." The boy which I assume to be Dave began and I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Ever since I stepped into this party, everything about this guy just seems to piss me off. He's so egoistic and possessive.

It seems like him and Jasmine have a strong chemistry going on because from what I've observed since I arrived at this party, he is madly in love with her. It shows in everything he does. From the way he consciously and unconsciously stares at her, to his body movements and how possessive he is over her.

Something tells me he is behind all of this birthday celebration and all of this makes me question my chances of being with her because she seems to be in love with him too. Although deep down, I know Jasmine feels something for me. It's just that she's not sure of her feelings yet.

I believe the only thing still keeping us this close is school. I really can't tell what our relationship will turn into after secondary school and the thought of it breaks my heart into a million pieces. I can't imagine myself losing someone I've been in love with for four years.

Apart from the whole Dave charade though, the party is really chill. Everything is going in a very organized way and everybody is having fun. I'm enjoying myself too, the only thing that saddens me is that I'm not getting to spend enough time with Jasmine, all because this Dave guy is always taking her away whenever we finally get a chance to be together. It's obvious that he doesn't like me and the feeling is mutual.

"Honestly, I don't know where to begin because I have a lot to say about this damsel right in front of me." Dave began, jolting me out of my thoughts.

"On this day, eighteen years ago, God sent this rare specie into the world and I'm happy I got to be among the lucky ones to have her in their lives. We don't meet people by accident, we are meant to cross paths for a reason and I hope that today, you are reminded of just how lucky I am that our paths crossed." He continued and the fact that everything he said was making Jasmine smile got to me even more.

"There's so much to say about you babe but I'm just going to begin with listing out eighteen reasons why I love you because it's your eighteenth birthday. I hope you guys are ready for this."

"Take your time." Everyone in the room said. Well everyone except me obviously.

"Firstly, I love you for who you are. I love every trait about you and I don't think I will ever trade you for anything else because that is what makes you different and unique." He has the full attention of Jasmine now.

God why didn't I think of this? It just hurts so much to see some random guy having his way freely with the girl you love.

"Secondly babe, you make life happier just by being in it. Thank you for all the memories you chose to create with me. The sad times, the happy times, the toxic times which if I must admit were draining, all of them. You could have chosen to do all of these with someone else but it was me and I'm grateful for that."

"Number three. I love you for always being there. In my darkest days, my lowest points, the times where I would be up by 3am because I can't sleep and I'll call you, we'll talk till we both fall asleep on the phone call. Shawty you were there even when I didn't want you to be there. What can I even call a person like you?" I guess that was rhetorical question.
