Excuse Me, Im Not Alex..

Chapter 10

Okay my lovelys, taking a break from Alex drama and lets focus some more on Rea. When you see the little *** sign... I want you to play the song on the side that I posted. It will go perfect for the moment and maybe you can sing along if you know it. And if you cant find it on the side or reach it at all, Its called "Read all about it. Part 3." by Emeli Sande.. Enjoy :)

****Rea POV***

I breath in a sharp breath when Drake hand touched mine. We both reached for the radio and our hands touched. Touched! I'm used to being in contact with men, since you know I'm a stripper but something about Drake pulled my attention. I wanna get to know him, I want to talk to him for hours and sit in his arms while we watch sticky love movies. This is all from just having dinner at his house. Oh my gosh, I sound like a love struck girl. He doesn't like me. He wouldn't want me, I'm a stripper and not to mention very timid and shy. 

I pull my hand back and look at him, he is looking at me with wide eyes. Oh his eyes are so beautiful. A jade green that shines. His eyes seem to cloud over and he immediately looks away. His messy blond hair shielding me from most of his face. His face set in a hard glare towards the road. I turn and look out the window in shame. He doesn't want to even look at me. 

After another half hour of silent driving we arrive to my house. Drake placed the car in park and didn't give me a glance as he stared out the window. No, I cant just leave without at least knowing whats wrong with me!

"Why aren't you looking at me?!" I yell in an irritated voice. This seems to grab Drakes attention, as he turns and looks at me shocked. 

"Wha- what?"

"You heard me! Is something wrong with me, tell me now so I at least know why you aren't looking at me!" I shout cutting him off.

"No-No...Nothing is wro-" 
"Liar! You don't know my back ground story, You cant judge me! I'm not some whore you can ju-"

"Rea calm down I didnt sa-"
"I know exactly what your thinking!" I growl out.
"Ummm, you don't understand!" Drake pulled his hands up scared at my sudden outburst of anger. I probably sound like crazy ex girlfriend, but how would I know, I never had boyfriend. Lily would always scare the guys away from me. 
I started breathing heavy while Drake and I just stared at each other. Drake looking completely lost on what to do now while I looked like a crazy person.

"You know what, thanks for the ride. Ima just...you know... go now..." Oh gosh that was so embarressing! I reach to pull the door open when a warm hand gripped mine and yanked me back. 
"I'm really thirsty and it was a long car ride, can I maybe come in for a drink?" Drake asked. His face now only an inch away from mine and stared me straight into mine. His warmth breath fanning across my face. I can feel my breath growing heavy with the closeness.

"Sure.." I muttered in a daze from the closeness. His beautiful green eyes scanning my face. I pull away and step out of the car and make my way up the stairs to my apartment on the second floor. Drake following close behind. His body about a foot and a half taller then mine. I open the door and let him into my dark home. It wasn't much, only a kitchen, a living room and one bedroom/bath. I didnt have furniture but a big piano that sat in my living room. I would play music when I get a chance on its polished keys every once in awhile. I thought for sure when he saw how I lived he will want nothing to do with me, but instead he walked up to my piano and ran his hand over the black wood and took a seat on the stool in front.

***Drake POV***

"Do you play?" I asked intrigued. This beauty obviously played but I wanted to hear it from her. Rea nodded and walked over taking a seat on the bench next to me. Her arm brushing my softly, sending electric waves up my arm. I breathed in her delicious scent of watermelon. When I first laid eyes on her, I wanted nothing more in the world but to yank her into my arms and protect her, but I cant. My life is too dangerous. And I can tell she felt the same for me but I cant let her. I don't want her to get hurt. 
I tried to leave fast when I dropped her off but she yelled at me and It hurt to see her so pained. Also her firey attitude kinda turned me on. I like a shy girl with some fire. 

She lightly laid her fingers over the keys and closed her eyes.

Her finger started playing music as her eyes stayed closed. 

"You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?
So come, on come on 
Come on, come on 
You've got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Baby we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away
Come on, Come on"

I watched, only fantasized by her amazing voice. I never thought such a little girl like her can have such a strong voice as she sang along to a song I think Iv heard on the radio before.

" I wanna sing, I wanna shout

I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, 
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it 
Read all about it 
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh"

A tear rolled down her cheek as she continued to sing. Her eyes opening to show her deep blue eyes that stared off into the distance. The dark apartment encasing us and the only light source is from the moon that shines threw window directly over us.

"At night we're waking up the neighbours 
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we remember yeah
Cause we all matter too 
If the truth has been forbidden 
Then we're breaking all the rules
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, 
Lets get the tv and the radio 
To play our tune again
It's 'bout time we got some airplay of our version of events"

"There's no need to be afraid
I will sing with you my friend
Come on, come on
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, 
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it 
Read all about it 
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh"

I stop her as I place my hand on hers and use my other hand to pull her face to look at me. Her eyes showed pain, pain I wanted to erase. I leaned forward slowly our lips only and inch apart.

"I want to so badly, but I don't want you to get hurt," I grunt as I breath in her scent.

 I look deep into her eyes, seeing if I should continue, only to have her lean forward and connect our lips. A heat exploded from that one kiss and I moved both my hands into her hair and held her face closer. I know that in the end, this will only cause her pain, and myself as well, but I really didn't want to stop. Rea pulled away.

"Just forget for once and go with your feelings," Rea sighed before attacking my lips again, and I knew at that moment, I didn't care and went with my feelings.
