Tae and Oliver texted him multiple pictures of the store and the line of people. Drake felt more excited than ever for Oliver, it had been years in the making for OVO merchandise that was rarely available to fans. Getting the OVO site was a stepping stone to lead to the stores.

The day and line of fans eventually died down, only people that remained were store employees, Oliver, Tae, Nicky, and Mark along with a few other friends. Drake sat courtside, next to Chubbs enjoying the last few minutes of another Lakers game. His security getting ready to get him and Chubbs out before the buzzer rang not just to avoid the crowd at the stadium, but Drake himself was eager to get to the store.

Drake and Chubbs walked in through the back door, he looked around with a large grin on his face admiring the finished product. Oliver and Mark being the first to spot him, everyone else casually lingered towards the front of the store, leaning against the counters having random conversations. Drake embraced both Oliver and Mark.

"How'd it go?" Drake asked looking at Oliver then at Mark.

"Perfect, couldn't of asked for it to go any better." Oliver looked around the store taking in another accomplishment.

Drake nodded his head towards Tae, who was leaning on the checkout counter, her back towards them. "And her?"

Oliver smiled and held his thumb over his shoulder in her direction. "Who? Hot Head up there? Popular!"

"Extremely!" Mark added with a grin.

Drake rolled his eyes and pushed through his friends, walking toward the front of the store he held up his index finger to his lips signaling for no one to say anything. Tae still carrying on her conversation with Nicky, completely unaware of his presence, Drake slithered his arms around her waist and kissed the side of her cheek.

"I heard you were quite popular today." He whispered in her ear, Drake's deep voice sent shivers down her spine, his cologne beginning to fill her nose.

"Well I mean, why would I not be, look at me." She bragged as she let her body sink into his.

Tae entered the bedroom from her closet in a long white t-shirt that draped right below her thighs. Her damp hair from the shower was pulled up into a loose bun on top of her head. Drake sat in the middle of the bed shirtless, in a pair of black OVO sweatpants, and a fresh pair of white ankle socks covered his feet. Two large pillows slightly propped up behind him as he focused on the large flat screen on the opposite wall, Sports Center on full blast as if him sitting courtside at the game it's self wasn't enough.

She crawled on the bed and laid on the length of his legs, her head on his lower abdomen, she breathed in his scent and nuzzled her face closer to his waist, her fingers traced the indents of his V-cut. Drake looked down at her, then down the length of her body, the shirt bunched up causing the bottom of her butt cheeks to show, he licked his lips and pulled the rest of the shirt up revealing the black bikini-style Calvin Klein underwear. He looked back up at the screen as he gripped her left butt cheek then trailed to the right one and did the same.

Tae's back slightly arched, she relaxed as he felt her up, she couldn't help but let out a moan or two as his large hands palmed and squeezed her butt. It was no wonder that was a girls weakness, the "rub my butt." or "play in my hair." phrase was real, it was like scratching a dogs belly, pure bliss, Heaven. Drake slid his hand all the way inside the waistband and let it sit there.

"What's the most important thing in a relationship to you?" She randomly asked breaking the silence, her muffled voice mixing in with the Sports Center commentators.

A stunned look fell onto Drake's face, his eyes widened as he looked down at her head that was stilled buried in his waist. "Am I in trouble? Is this a test?"

Tae laughed and lifted her head looking at him. "No, it's just a question." She laughed harder at the look on his face.

He frowned knowing that everything with women was a test, questions like these just didn't come out of thin air, question like these were provoked by something, she had been thinking about asking him this all day. Drake knew he had one of two options, he could serenade her with some allusive deep emotional words, or, he could simply tell her the truth even though she may not agree with it.

Tae laid her head back on his stomach waiting for his answer, Drake smirked at how patient she was, he was quiet for a good 60 seconds but she didn't look back up at him, or ask him again in thoughts that maybe if he just sat quiet long enough and started rubbing her but again she would forget and fall asleep.

"Understanding and Acceptance." He finally said.

Tae lifted her head from his stomach, she sat up and positioned herself on his lap, straddling him. He slightly scooted down till he was perfectly comfortable sitting under her, she couldn't feel the length of his dick through his sweatpants on the inside of her thigh.

"Why those two?" She asked leaning her head to the side.

"In the position that I'm in... Not you straddling me right now... I mean career-wise." Tae giggled at his dry humor.  "I mean it's a great position, not my favorite, but I won't complain."

"Aubrey!" Tae said trying to wheel him back on track.

He closed his eyes a tiled his head back, his hands resting on her hips. "Understanding and Acceptance, right... Uummm." He said repeating himself trying to get himself back on track. "I need you to understand me, what I do, who I am. Then I need you to accept that, NOT." Drake held his index finger up. "Saying that I or things can't change, or grow, or learn, I'm always doing that, but I need you to understand that we may go a week or even longer without seeing one another, and all we have is FaceTime at the moment, because I'm working and you're working. I need you to accept that. But, It's only for a moment. Drake frowned looking Tae in the eyes, speaking as if he was revising each word as he spoke. "Yes, I'm committed to you." Drake put his index finger on Tae's chest." but I'm also committed to hundreds and thousands and millions of fans, I'm committed to performing, committed to music. I need you to understand that and accept that. If you can't, then you will not last with me."

Tae waited for him to continue, once she realized he was finished she continued looking at him not knowing what to say. Tae chewed the inside of her cheek for a moment. She began smoothing down the chin hair on his beard. "Well, I Understand that. And I Accept that." She said looking down at his chin.

"Oh, well thank god. I was beginning to think this wasn't working. I'm so glad we got this all out on the table before we were like 7 months into a committed relationship!" He said with a serious face placing his hand over his heart. The sarcastic tone of voice made his dry humor and comedic timing funnier.

"You are such uh smartass." Tae said through her laughter.

"I was so worried." He said rolling his eyes and released a sigh of relief.

"Shut up." She grabbed his cheeks and pulled his face closer to her and pressed her lips his, he slid his tongue in her mouth deepening kiss.
