Masquerade: A Nicki Minaj Romance

Masquerade: Chapter Nine

**again I know it's really late but I've busy busy as fuck*

I greet Drake at the door and he takes my hand and walks me to his car. He opens the door of his red sports car for me and as I sit down, he walks to his side of the car and gets in the drivers seat. We sit in silence at first as he drives to the restaurant that I have not a single idea about and he has a smile plastered to his face. I try to start some small talk but his answers were always fast and snappy so I gave up trying.

After about 5 minutes of silence in the car, he parks his car in a very shady spot that was close to the front door. He opens his door and then walks over to mine and opens my door for me as well. He took my hand again and I got butterflies again as he led me to the front door of the elite looking restaurant. He pushes open the doors and holds it open for me.

I walk into the restaurant and the aroma of fresh baked bread and grilled steak hit me. I dealt my mouth begin to water as I was mesmerized by the beautiful atmosphere and the splendid smells. He went up to the waiter and he stated his name and the man led us to our table. He handed us our menus and said "Enjoy your lunch" smiled, then walked away with grace. Drake turned to face me and said "Wow, you look beautiful Nicki. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I was so focused on making this date perfect". I felt myself blush and could only find myself to blurt out a petty and underwhelmed "Thank you" and smiled. I look down at my menu and I choose what I want immediately. I keep "reading" the menu though so he wouldn't see how conflicted I was feeling. I mean I know I have feelings for SB, but Drake has tried harder to get to me. Why did life have to be so confusing. UGHHH.
