Sweet Revenge

Chapter: 9

Zoe couldn't believe it, she must have imagined it. Who could love her? She was dull and boring, and not even all that pretty. She just couldn't comprehend it. Drake... loved her? Why her, out of all the girls that like him why her? Zoe was in shock. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a noise coming from Drake. Was that... It was, he's snoring. Did that mean he was asleep when he said it? Zoe was now more confused then before. Uggh what is she suspose to think, and should she bring it up tomorrow? Zoe smiled.

" He said he loves me. Someone loves me, and its this amazing guy."

Zoe relaxed, and leaned into Drakes embrace. It was nice, and warm. His big muscular arms were wrapped around her, making her feel safe. Zoe liked that feeling, she liked it a lot. She smiled and drifted off to sleep once more, only this time more happy then before.

" Good morning beautiful. How did you sleep?" Drake woke Zoe up with small kisses upon her neck and shoulder.

" Better then you'll ever know." Zoe replied with a smile plastered on her face.

" Oh? What's that suspose to mean?" Drake said and chuckled.

" Umm nothing. Don't worry about it." Zoe turned and faced him, he looked so good in the morning. His hair ruffled, and eyes puffy. So cute, so adorable. To think that a guy this handsome could love her, it made her smile bigger.

" Someone can't stop smiling, come on you gonna tell me?" Drake said and nudged her a little.

" Just something someone said to me."

" Okay okay, your not gonna tell me." Drake stuck his tounge out at her.

Zoe just smiled, and laid on her back on the bed. She was happy, putting her hands behind her head she got a susprise from Drake. He kissed her, a slow meaningful kiss. Like he really enjoyed to kiss her. She also enjoyed kissing him, and kisses him back. It was all to great but didn't last long, there was a loud knock from the front door. Zoe got up, and walked to the door.

" Hey Zoe, can we talk?" It was Dante, it looked like he hadn't slept.

" I'm busy, and have company over." Zoe replied annoyed. She didn't wanna see him, and was mad he showed up.

" Oh... Who?" Dante asked, and his question was answered as Drake came into the room.

" What is he doing here at 7 in the morning?" Dante said, raising his voice.

" He slept here." Zoe said calmly.

Dantes eyes blazed in anger. His fists balled, and he clenched his jaw.

" Why the fuck did he sleep here?" Dante questioned.

" Because she found out the truth about you, and you had been lying to her for so many years. She was crying and needed someone, and I was here. Zoe asked me to stay, and of course I said yes." Drake said glaring at Dante.

Dantes eyes softened. " I... I made you cry...?" He looked at Zoe

" Look can you just go for now, I don't wanna see you for a little while." Zoe said, not being able to look him in the eyes.

" Zoe... I'm sorry." Dante replied, sad that he had made her cry.

" She said go, so you should." Drake said, stepping in front of Dante.

" Zoe..." Dante said before Drake closed the door.

" I'm sorry Zoe, if I knew it would be him I would have answered it." Drake said, pulling her into a hug.

Zoe didn't know what to do, Dante was her best friend but he had been lying to her. For god knows how many years. How could he do that to her? Zoe never kept anything from him, nothing at all. She trusted him, and thought he trusted her. What was she gonna do? She couldn't ignore him forever, but she was just so frustrated with him.

" Hey let's go get something to eat, then we can talk." Drake said bringing Zoe to her senses.

" Oh yeah okay. I'll make us some pancakes and eggs." Zoe said pulling away from Drake, and heading to the kitchen.

" And bacon." Drake called, with a smile.

" Sure." Zoe said and her smile returned to her face.

~~~

After they ate, they returned to Zoes room so they could talk. Zoe was nervous, she didn't know what to expect. Her heart was pounding, and she was super anxious.

" So are you ready?" Questioned Drake.

" Yes." Zoe said with a little hesitation.

" Well... let's start with your mom." Drake said, and looked at Zoe.

Her jaw dropped, and she said. " What about her?"

" Her death wasn't an accident..." Drake said.
