Skylar's POV
I drove carefully while singing softly along the radio. It was Stole The Show by Kygo. I sighed contently when i remembered what Drake did for me in the morning. He was a real sweetheart and I'm not scared to say i love him. Yeah i do. I know it's way too soon since we dated each other only a few weeks but still what we had was something special. I wanted to tell him but i didn't want to add up to his burdens. He already had Riley to take care of and was busy with work. When the time would come where i see fit to tell him I'll do so. For now I'm content with the way things are. I didn't lie to him when i said i loved his possessiveness. It was a part of him. This is his way of showering me with love. I longed to open my bakery shop or restaurant. And quitting modelling, it would make it easier for me to do so. I frowned when the traffic light signalled me to stop. I was going to be freaking late and my manager would not like this at all. Suddenly out of nowhere a black SUV appeared and before i could do something it slammed directly at me making my car lose balance and turned upside down. The only thing i thought before closing my eyes was Drake.

Drake's POV

When Amy, Skylar's aunt, called me i was rooted to the spot. The live of my life had an accident. He was maybe dying right now. I quickly drove the car to the hospital Amy told me, Apollo Bramwell. It was about 15 minutes from here. Riley was sitting at the back seat completely oblivious to what was happening. Tears rushed down my face but i tried to wipe them away since i was driving. When i arrived i snatched Riley from the backseat and ran inside quickly asking a nurse for Skyler Benay. She told me he was currently in operation room 36. I rushed there and saw two women, the older one must be his aunt while the other one must be his sister Carla. When they heard my footsteps they both looked at me and cried more. Amy rushed to me and hugged me shocking me. But i realised that she was trying to comfort both me and her since we were both crying.
"It's nice to finally meet you Drake. I didn't think we would have met in such circumstances though." She smiled shakily.
"Nice to meet you to ma'am." I said softly. She released me and motioned to the girl sitting on the bench.
"Oh no ma'am just call me Amy or Auntie. This is Carla, Skylar's sister. I'm sorry for her behaviour she is in shock and hasn't said a word since we came here." She explained. I looked at her and saw traces of tears on her cheeks. She was wearing a blank expression and returned her gaze to the wall in front of her.
"What happened?" My voice hoarse from crying maybe.
"Well Skylar was driving and stopped at the traffic light when suddenly a black SUV slammed into him. The car didn't even stop to help him! The coward fucking ran away leaving Skylar gravely injured. Fortunately passersby saw what happened and quickly called the ambulance. No one got the chance to see who was in the car and the license plate though." She said wailing again. My blood was boiling inside me. The fucker who dared injured my baby would pay for it. The coward dared to make a hit and run. I won't let him do that. I will chase him and make hin taste hell. For now i tried comforting Amy. However when she saw Riley she calmed down and asked me if she could pick him up. I nodded and told her to check on him for a minute while i call my parents. I went to the bathroom and called dad.
"Hello?" He said at the other end of the line.
"Dad, can you come and pick Riley from the Apollo Bramwell hospital please?" I asked trying to stay strong.
"What? What happened?" He asked panicked.
"It's Skylar dad. He had an.... an accident." I whispered. He gasps through the phone.
"Oh son. Are you alright?" He asked sadness coating his voice. I knew he loved Skylar like his own son.
"I don't know. Just please be quick." I didn't wait for a reply before hanging up. I was tired, sad, angry and frustrated. I decided to call my lawyer Jake and told him to search that fucking car. When i finished i washed my hand and face before leaving the bathroom. I made my way to the sitting area where Riley was hapoily sitting in Amy's lap while the latter looked both sad and relieved.
"What happened?" I asked.
She smiled softly at me.
"Well the doctor just came and told me that Skylar was fine now. He is sleeoing right now and need rest to we can't visit him until one hour or two." She explained making me nod.
"How about you go home and wash up honey. I know you must be tired. Carla don't want to go home so she'll here. But i have to go back to cook dinner and bring her fresh clothes." She continued giving me back Riley.
I shook my head at her.
"No i prefer to stay here. I'll wait for him to wake. My parents are coming to pick Riley up." I said. She frowned at my words but nodded nonetheless. She kissed me on the cheeks then Carla before leaving the hospital. My dad soon came and took Riley home after asking my about Skylar's state. My mother and him would come to visit tomorrow since he didn't want to disturb Skylar. When he was gone i sighed loudly and sat next to Carla.
"Hey" i said.
She looked at me briefly.
"Hi. Drake right?" She asked.
I nodded.
She finally smiled, even though it was small and unnoticeable she still did it.
"My brother talks everyday about you and Riley. He really does love you guys." My eyes widened. Skylar loved me! I was so happy.
"And i love him too. More than anything in the world." I promised her. She examined me for a minute before nodding her approval.
"Yeah i know. Everyone can clearly see it in your eyes. Just promise me something. Don't hurt him okay? We both had been through a lot in our life and i don't want him to turn back into the depressed kid he was long ago." She pleaded her eyes filled with sadness. I think she was referring to the time her parents died.
"I promise you i won't hurt him. It would practically kill me if i hurt him both physically and mentally."
She smiled, a real genuine smile and said "You're a good man Mr Dellenova." I only smiled at her. We waited for two hours before the doctor said we could visit him since he woke up. However only one of us at a time. I turned to Carla and was about to tell her to go but she cut me off
"You go in there. I'm sure Skylar would be pleased to see you." I was about to say no but she continued "please i want you to do that favor for me. Also i don't think I'm ready to see him yet. I'm too scared."
I looked at her hesitantly but nodded anyway. I walked to Skylar's room and took a deep breath before entering. My heart ached when i saw Skylar wearing bandages all over his body and aroung his head. He was sitting on the bed leaning his back on two big pillows. His eyes were close but judging by his breathing pattern he was awake.
"Love?" I said softly so as not to frighten him. He opened his eyes slowly and smiled at me.
"Drake hey come here babe." He said motioning for me to come nearer. I did as i was told and sat on the chair next to his bed.
"How are you?" I whispered in pain. He was always so hyper and happy. Now he seemed tired and pained.
"I'm fine babe well as fine as a person who was just in an accident can be." I frowned as he tried to lighten the atmosphere.
"Love in these situations you can't take things lightly. I'm happy you're fine but i don't want you to joke on that." I said sternly. He frowned at me.
"Babe I'm fine." He said already knowing i was depressed. I couldn't hold it in and cried. He wrapped his arms around me awkwardly since he was wounded."It's alright I'm fine." He cooed.
"I thought you wouldn't make it! When you aunt call me i thought i lost the love of my life." I said. His eyes widened.
"What?" He whispered his eyes glistening.
I gulped.
"I love you Skylar Benay. I know it's way too soon but i can't help it. I fell in love with your gentle and caring side but also your feisty and sexy self. I love how you love Riley as if he is your own son and how you shower us both with love and care. I love you because you're perfect." I finished. I saw he was crying and rubbed his cheek.
"I love you too. Everything about you. The way you treat me as if i was God. You treat me like a treasure. You made me part of your wonderful family. You are perfect too." He sniffed. I kissed him gently and smiled. I was so happy. He was feeling the same as me! Now the last question.
"Baby, will you move in with me?"
