Motorcycle Patches

Chapter 2

I went upstairs and got on instagram. I was randomly liking the pictures of my friends, different pictures of the sky, landscapes, and clothes , when I got a notification that someone was trying to dm me.

"I have no clue who that was but whatever. Probably just tryna talk to me cause Drake" I thought as I continued to scroll through my timeline. A few minutes later I got another dm notification from the same person .

"Ughh , why can't I just be on instagram in peace." I was getting annoyed. So I swiped over, and opened the dm .

"Hi."
"Hey Aubrey"

I had absolutely no clue who this person could be . I know that I am the niece of Drake , but I'm nothing special . Yeah there are a lot of random people who try to dm me , but they're all like weird or something. Everyone only likes those beautiful instagram models, and I am definitely NOT that .

"Hello," I texted back, not caring to much. While I waited for a response,  I began to look through his instagram, curiously.

The profile picture is of a handsome boy showing off his sharp jawline . In his biography there were a few things that stood out to me . It says he believes in Jesus, he's a high school football player, and of course he had to be a musician . Well an "aspiring musician." Just great.

A few minutes went by as I scrolled through a few of his pictures. Then he texted back . Thinking back on the fact that he's an aspiring musician, I assumed that he was probably only reaching out to get in contact with my uncle . That's what a lot of "aspiring musicians" do when they reach out to me .

"How are you ?"

Whats up with all this small talk ? Most people just cut straight to the chase.

"Umm , pretty good I guess. I have to know , is there a motive behind you dm'ing me?"

"wym" he asked , as if he didn't understand what I meant . "He's trying to play dumb now ugh" I thought

"Ik that I'm Drake's niece and everything, but usually when a person dm's me , it's trying to find a way to contact my uncle. So is that what you're trying to do ?"

"Drake , as in like Aubrey Drake Graham? He's your uncle ? Wow, that's really cool !"

"You didn't know ?"

"no i saw your recent on my explore page. I think you're beautiful, so I decided to shoot my shot."

"Aww how nice." I know that sounded really mean . Truth is , I was freaking out . No guy has really ever called me beautiful besides my family . It made me really happy , but I couldn't let him know that . I was gonna play hard to get , just until I got to know him more .

"So, am i succeeding ??"

"Umm i don't really know"

"Well can i get your number, so i can call you?"

"Lol no , i don't just give my number out to strangers."

"Okay fine , My name is Gabriel. I'm an open book. Anything you want to know about me , I'll tell you. Now we aren't strangers anymore. So can i have your number?"

Ugh this boy was so annoying, but he wasn't gonna take no for an answer , so I gave my number to him. I guess it wouldn't hurt anything, and there was no way that I'd reveal any contact information about my uncle if he asked.

"Aubrey, mommy said it's time for dinner." Andrew says rubbing the last bit of sleep from his eyes.

Dinner? What the heck ?! I looked at the clock and it was 6:15pm. Had I really let all that time slip away like that, texting a stupid boy. I mean, I'll admit , texting Gabriel was really interesting. I've never really texted any boys, but he seems really cool.

"Okay Drew, I'll be down in a sec." I got up to was my hands . I had really let 3 hours go by. I could've been doing so much in that time.

I went downstairs and help my mom set the table, we said our grace and then we ate. We had bacon shrimp pasta. I was really excited to eat because we haven't had this in so long .

"Mmm mommy this is good" Drew exclaimed getting the sauce all over him.

"Thank you, " she said getting up "do you want water or milk Andrew ?"

"Umm milk, do we have any chocolate milk left? I want that"

"Okay"

I sat and ate in silence, thinking about the past three hours . I can't let that happen again. I think it's okay to talk to someone, but for three hours . I felt so unproductive, and I really dislike feeling that way. I will not let a boy distract me and make me unproductive .

After dinner , I did the dishes surprisingly. I don't like doing chores. But tonight, I needed to do something productive to make up for the time I lost .

"Aubrey, you never do the dishes, especially not before i ask you to. What's going on with you?"

"Nothing. I just feel a little unproductive so , I'm being productive right now."

"I wish you had this mindset more often. Be productive everyday damnit." she says laughing while putting the leftovers in the fridge.

"Have you been studying for your exams?"

"Yes , i only have 4 since the other 3 are just exploratory classes."

"Okay good, well since you're cleaning, I'm gonna go give Andrew a bath and then watch some Vampire Diaries."

"Alright, I love you."

"I love you too" my mom says walking away .

I finished cleaning the kitchen around 7:30pm. I didn't want to get back on my phone at the moment. So I took a shower , and then got in my bed and started reading a book. I turned on the string of lights in my room and I began reading. I hope that the next couple of weeks go by fast .
