Grow To Love You

Chapter 14: Aubrey!

I followed Micaiah down the stairs and into the kitchen where my mother was pouring a cup of coffee.

"Yes, mama?" I spoke as I lent against the breakfast bar.

"Mama! Me and Nika made a den!" Micaiah exclaimed.

"Oh really? Can I come look?" She asked, beaming.

"Yeah! It's in my room," Micaiah told her as he dragged my mother out the kitchen and up to his room as I followed.

"Wow, it's great," My mother smiled once she'd entered the room.

"Thanks," Me and Micaiah responded simultaneously.

Drake's POV

After I ended the call with Nicki, I was in the mood for a nice hot drink and a movie. I pushed off my covers and stretched once I'd got out my bed. Just as I was about to exit my room, I heard my phone vibrating against my bed stand. Before I answered, I checked the caller ID but it said Unknown Caller.

"Hello?"

"Aubrey? Is that you?" A familiar voice spoke sounding a little worried.

"Who is this?" I questioned.

"I guess you forgot about me...it's Jade," She spoke softly.

"I'm sorry, it's just been so long," I apologised.

"I know, but I need you to do me a huge favour!?" She told me.

"What is it?"

"Would you like, give me a place to stay for a few nights?" She asked nervously.

"Course, why wouldn't I?" I asked rhetorically.

"Thank you! Would you mind picking me up?" She asked.

"Sure, where are ya?" I asked cheerfully.

"Um...Everson Street," She replied sounding a little unsure.

"Alright, I'll be there in 'bout five," I informed her before hanging up to put some clothes on. I pulled on a pair of trackies, a t-shirt and a pair of Timberlands. Grabbing my keys from the kitchen, I got in my car and pulled out to find Jade. It wasn't long until I saw a female figure clothing in skinny jeans and a vest top. My headlights shone over her body, alerting her of my presence. She stood up and smiled as she walked toward my car.

"Long time no see huh?" She spoke once she got into the passenger side of my car.

"I know, how long's it been?" I quizzed.

"Too long," She replied, running her fingers through her hair.

"So how you been?"

"Alright, I guess," She sighed. "What about yourself?"

"Fine, I got my self a girlfriend as well," I told her proudly.

"Oh really? Who's the lucky girl?"

"You know her actually," I chuckled out of nervousness.

"Hmm...Nicki!?" She almost screamed.

"Yup!"

"Aww, I'm happy for you, I really am," She smiled whilst patting my shoulder.

"You got yourself a nice dude?" I asked as I turned down my street.

"Nope, still on my lonesome," She pouted.

"Aww, you'll find him one day," I told her as I pulling up to my house. We got out the car and headed inside to the lounge. "You wanna watcha movie or you tierd?" I asked as I sat on the 3 seater couch.
