Torn Between The Two | Drake & Chris Brown

Chapter 10

Daneille

After Wayne said that Drake and I were going to have to make a collaboration together, I denied, denied, denied. I was not going to work with Drake on this song no matter what they do, how much they pay me, etc.

However, the girls insisted that we just do the song.

"Come on, y'all know y'all gonna end up talking anyway." Honey said.

"I'm sure that if y'all write this song, it'll be a hit," Nicki added.

"Dani, just do it." Jaycee finished.

I sighed. "Fine, I'll do it,"

I went outside where I recently had saw Drake leave. He was walking up to his car.

"Aubrey, wait." I called out to him.

He turned around, shocked to see it was me. "Danielle?"

I walked up to him. "Yup, it's me. Now are you gonna just stand here and look at me or are we gonna start writing this song?"

He opened the passenger side door. "Get in."

I got in the passenger seat of his car. He went to the driver side, got in, and drove away.

After about twenty minutes of complete awkward silence in the car, Drake finally pulled up to his house. He opened the passenger door for me, and we both walked up to his front steps together.

Walking into his house, well mansion rather, I followed him downstairs and soon what looked like a private studio stood before me.

I looked around the place. All of Drake's accomplishments he received during his whole music career hung on the walls and shelves. "This is...wow."

He laughed walking inside where the microphone and a chair with headphones on top sat. "Play track 5 and hit record,"

I did as told. A beat started playing that I never heard before. (Take Care)

Drake hit record then began free styling:

they don't get you like I will

My only wish is I die real

Cause that truth hurts,

and those lies heal

And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still

So you cry still,

Drake stopped for a moment. He began thinking, then pressed record again.

So you cry still,

tears all in the pillow case

Big girls all get a little taste,ah Pushing me away so I give her space,ah

Dealing with a heart that I didn't break

I'll be there for you,

I will care for you

I keep thinking you just don't know

Drake stopped again. "That's all I got right now. How was it?" Drake asked once he exited the booth.

"I'm speechless, it was that good," I replied.

"Thanks, you got anything you want to add?" Drake asked.

"Lemme see," I said walking into the booth. "Play what you have, and I'll add something when it pops in my head," I continued.

He did as told. I began to sing:

Cause if you let me,

here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you

I've loved and I've lost

When he stopped recording, I thought of something. "Play the beginning, before your rap."

He did that and started recording. I sang:

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way

you carry yourself

If you let me,

here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you

I've loved and I've lost

After he finished recording, I stepped out of the booth.

"I didn't know you could sing like that. You can sing and dance." Drake said shocked.

"Yeah, I've been singing for a while," I replied.

"I want you to sing on the track." Drake said syncing the music to his laptop.

"I don't know, why don't you get someone famous like Alicia Keys to sing it," I said a little nervous. I never even sang in front of a crowd. How was I supposed to sing on Drake's track which at least a million people will listen to?

"I don't want anyone else. I want you to sing it," Drake replied.

I sighed. "Fine."

"Well that's all I got right now. I guess I'll text you when I add something else to it.

"Alright."

"So does this mean that you forgive me?" Drake asked.

"Yeah," I replied, trying to hide a smile. It was hard to stay mad at him. 

That's when Drake got a little closer to me. He reached down and kissed me. At first, I didn't kiss back considering that I was shocked that he had done that. Right when I was about to kiss him back, my phone buzzed telling me that I had a text message. I pulled back and looked at the phone. It was a text message from Chris:

We still on for tonight? Meet me at my place at 8.

Shit! I forgot that I told Chris I would chill with him.

"I gotta go," I said to Drake.

"So soon?" Drake asked joking.

"Yeah, I'll um ask Jaycee to come get me,"

"Alright," Drake replied.

Ten minutes later Jaycee pulled up and raced me home.

"Tell me what happened," Jaycee kept bugging me after I took a shower and was running around to find clothes to wear. It was already 7:15

"I can't tell you now girl, but not a lot happened. It's worth waiting. Help me look for my other shoe," I said.

She began searching and soon found it.

I finished getting dressed and quickly drove to Chris' house getting there at 7:55.

I was nervous but excited at the same time.
