Chapter 97: Unexpected Guest

Adriana was in her kitchen trying to decided what she wanted to eat. It was late but she had skipped dinner to hurry over to Victoria's before the concert and she was hungry. She had thought about stopping to grab something on the way home but decided against it. Thoughts of Drake being mad at her came to mind and she lost her appetite. She sighed and opened up the freezer pulling out a pint of rocky road ice cream. She grabbed a spoon and hopped on top of her counter opening up the pint and putting a spoon full in her mouth. She set the pint on the counter and slipped her phone out of her pocket. Finding Drake's name in her recent call log she called him again but it went right to voicemail. She sighed and put her phone on the counter picking the pint of ice cream back up and taking a couple more spoonfulls from it. "Well, time to get to work." She closed the ice cream and hopped of the counter. She placed it back in the freezer and opened up her refrigerator to grab a bottled water. She closed the refrigerator and opened the bottled water to take a sip and turned around to head into the living room to start going through the photos she had taken. She stopped and turned back around to grab her phone.

"Did you have fun out tonight?"

A voice sounded behind her and she stopped dead in her tracks. The voice definitely startled her because as far as she knew she was the only one in her condo. Had she not recognized the voice she would have screamed and ran to find the closets thing she could to defend herself. She turned around to come face to face with the person the voice belonged to. "Jesus you scared me! What are you doing here? How did you even get in?"

"I didn't mean to scare you. But I believe I asked a question before you did."

Adriana set the water bottle on the counter and stepped forward. "I did. Now what are you doing here Aubrey and how did you get in? Please tell me I didn't forget to lock the door?"

Drake shook his head. "You didn't. I still have the spare key you left for me a while back. I never gave it to Tori."

Adriana nodded. "How come you didn't tell me you were coming?"

"How come you didn't tell me you were going to a concert tonight and had meet and greets?"

Adriana furrowed her eyebrows and stared at him for a moment. "I see where this is going and I'm going to tell you right now to watch what you say next Aubrey."

"I wasn't going to say anything. I was asking a question." He walked towards her making the gap between them smaller. "Why didn't you tell me? You said you you were coming home."

"I didn't know. It was a super last minute thing. Tori told me after I got off the phone with you that the editor from LA Weekly called and wanted me to take picture for them tonight. They made it worth my while, I couldn't say no. Plus, it was LA Weekly Aubrey. It was a big opportunity to get my name out there."

Drake looked at her for a moment and sighed. "Why didn't you answer when I tried to FaceTime you?"

"I was talking to Usher, August, and Tori when you called and my phone was on the table. They saw your face pop up on my screen. I immediately told them I had to take that call and got up to walk away. I was looking for my ear buds so that I could actually hear you and just when I found them you had hug up. I literally called you right back Aubrey and you didn't answer. Why didn't you answer? I called you more than once?"

"I got busy."

"You got busy? Aubrey I don't know who you think I am, or if you think I was born yesterday, but I'm upset that you think I'm stupid. You're obviously here because you had some jealous rage over nothing. I don't think it's a coincidence that you decided to call me AFTER I posted the picture of August and I. You really took a flight to come and try to catch me up in some shit and honestly I'm offended that you have so little trust in me!" She stepped forward and pushed him to the side walking past him and into her living room. He followed her but he still hadn't said anything because he knew she wasn't done talking. "Did you think that you were going to come into my house and find August here?" She stopped and turned around to face him. "Is that what the fuck you thought Aubrey? I went to a meet and greet and since that's how I met you, you assumed I was doing some shit." Tears filled her eyes but she blinked them away. "I'm not that fucking girl Aubrey. I told your stupid ass you were different and I didn't even sleep with you the first night! God Aubrey! When are you going to realize that I don't see anyone else but you? I'm with you all the way! You're out running around with all these girls throwing themselves at you and I never say anything to you about it! I go to one damn concert and it's a problem?"
