Brand New

Chapter 23: Breakfast

When Adriana walked back in the room Drake was at it again typing into that blackberry. This time she didn't hesitate to ask. "Are you writing a new song?"

Drake smiled but he didn't look up at her. Instead he lifted one hand from the device and put one finger up to her as if asking her to give him one minute. He finished typing whatever it was he was typing and looked up at her, that smile still on his face. "Just some lyrics that came to mind. Whenever something good hits me I have to write it down, or type it in this case. If I wait and lose it I might kick myself for it later. It may or may not turn into a song. I don't know that yet."

Adriana tucked some wild curls behind her ear and smiled. "So there's a possibility that I may have witnessed you working on the next hot Drake track?" she asked.

His grin widened. "There is that possibility, yes."

With her smile still intact she nodded her head and turned away from him moving to sit on the edge of the bed. "How do you do it? How do you manage to write so flawlessly? Everything you put out is like magic." She still wasn't looking at him. Instead she busied herself tracing the letters on the sweats he let her borrow that read OVO. Even though she wasn't looking at him she could feel his eyes on her.

Drake quickly came up with two responses. But he didn't know which one to go with. He could go with his real answer and tell her that he just wrote from the heart. That he didn't force anything. That he wouldn't say all of it was flawless but that it was all real. That his inspiration always came from somthing in his life. Or he could go the flirty route and ask her how she managed to look so flawless in his sweatpants and t-shirt. He went with that second choice. Not only because he wanted to flirt with her, but also because she wasn't looking at him and he wanted to move closer to her and look into her eyes. He stood up and pocketed his blackberry and walked over to stand in front of her. He reached his hand down to her chin and slowly lifted her head up to look at him. "How do you manage to look so flawless in my sweatpants and my t-shirt?" Adriana couldn't help blushing and that made Drake smile.

"I guess since it's another day you're promise to be on your best behaviour is done huh?" she asked him jokingly trying to hide how much his comment really affected her.

"Not at all. I'm staying true to that today as well. If that was the case I would have been on my worst behavior before we fell asleep last night because technically it was another day. It was well after midnight." He removed the hand that was holding her chin up and pushed a curl back from her face. "Until you tell me otherwise, a gentleman is what I will be."

"Well thank you for that." Adrian said to him.

Drake nodded. "Are you ready to go have breakfast? I can hear the crew so I know the food is here."

Adriana nodded her head. "Yeah. I'm ready"

Drake extended his hand to her and she took it. He led her into the dining area and she quickly started to scan the room for OB. She was certain he was gonna give her shit about last night.

"Looking for someone?" Drake asked her.

Before she could answer she heard a familiar voice across the table. "Well if it isn't little miss YOLO herself!" OB said.

Adriana let out a soft chuckle and whispered to Drake. "Him. I was looking for OB. I knew he was gonna talk smack to me today."

Drake grinned. She was good. She hadn't been around OB long but she already knew what to expect from him.

"So, how was your night?" OB teased her.

Not missing a beat Adriana shot back "Best I Ever Had!" Then she winked at Drake.

Drake grinned and wrapped an arm around her waist as everyone laughed. "And don't you forget that OB!" he said.

OB sat there trying to think of what to say next. He was stumped at the moment. He had to give it to her, she was quick with the comebacks. He laughed. He patted the seat next to him and said "Come on over. I saved you a seat. You can share all the juicy details."

Adriana giggled. "Oh you would love that wouldn't you? Unfortunately for you a lady never kisses and tells." Without thinking she took Drakes hand in hers and started toward the direction of the two empty chairs next to OB. Drake didn't say anything. He just followed her.

"Well shit, you don't have to tell me you kissed him. I witnessed that with my own two eyes, we all did." OB said motioning his hands around the room.

"Mmmhmm. But I didn't tell you!" Adriana said as she took the seat next to OB and Drake sat next to her.

"Touché." OB said looking over at Drake "I really like her. We should keep her around for a while."

Adriana smiled and Drake did too. "Yeah. I like her too." he said and winked at her.

Adriana smiled at him and they both stared at each other a moment longer than they intended to.

"Alright. Well I'm gonna eat my food. I can't keep looking at you two making googly eyes at each other and shit!" OB said turning his attention back to the rest of the crew at the table.

Adriana and Drake smiled at each other and Drake handed her a plate. "You better go to work before they eat everything up because believe me, they will."

Adriana took the plate. "What are you going to have?"

Drake looked around at the buffet of breakfast. "I'm not sure yet. Go ahead and get what you want first."

Adriana nodded and placed two pieces of French toast on her plate and some strawberries.

"That looks good. I think I'll have that." Drake said.

Adriana moved the empty plate in front of him and set the plate in her hand in front of him and proceeded to make a second plate exactly like the first one she made. Drake had his eyes on her the whole time. She placed her plate in front of her and grabbed the syrup. She poured some on her French toast and turned and asked Drake if he wanted some.

"Please." he said with a shy smile.

Adriana poured some over his French toast and then took her seat.

"Thank you. You didn't have to do all that though. You're my guest." Drake said to her.

Adriana shrugged her shoulders. "No big deal. It's a habit." She picked up her silverware and started cutting her French toast. She could still feel his eyes on her. She looked over at him nervously. "What?"

Drake smiled. "Nothing. Well, actually, since you made my plate, do you mind cutting mine too? You do it so expertly." His tone was playful.

Adriana laughed. "Whatever! Cut your own food. Don't push your luck Mr. Graham."

Drake laughed. "I had to try." He picked up his silverware and started cutting his own French toast.

They ate breakfast and talked about different things. She even had some conversation going with the rest of the crew. She hadn't been sure if having breakfast with them would be a good idea. Especially since she was certain they all thought she slept with Drake. But other than OB's friendly teasing, no one said anything about it. She felt extremely comfortable with all of them.
