《BOOT STRAPS》The Note
Advertisement
It was a really stressful day at work but it was worth it because the branch was back on track and things were running smoothly.
Drake and I were in his office still working. I have to hand it to him he's really hard working and he never gets tired but as for me I'm really tired and I need to go home , the day was already dark.
I arranged the files on my table and packed my bags and I was ready to leave.
"Drake I'm done for the day, I'm heading home."I said as I stood in front of his desk. He was wearing glasses which made him look like a nerd, he looked really tired with his heavy eye bags and his tie was let loose but he still looked presentable.
"Don't you learn your lesson ?"He asked looking at me through his square shaped lens.
"What do you mean ?"I asked him with an arched brow.
"You want to go home alone and let Andre abduct you again or maybe this time kill you."He said standing up from his seat reaching for his suit jacket.
"No he can't kill me he loves me."I said smirking as I watched him put on his jacket.
"Why don't you let him marry you then ?"He gave a sarcastic smile and and he rolled his eyes.
"Shut up!"I turned away and walked out of the office.
We were in the parking lot, we were walking towards the car when Drake put his hands in front of me to stop me.
"Do you want to go home so soon ?"He was now giving me a knowing smile.
"What are you up to ?"I asked him not returning a smile.
"Well I don't feel like going back to the house and the twins are always bugging me , I just need to spend time outside the house for a while besides we haven't toured the city since we got here." He said slapping me slightly on the shoulder.
"Or you're trying to ask me out."I teased him putting my hand under my chin like I was observing something.
"Skai, you're not my type."He put his hands in his pockets and stepped backwards.
"Oh then why did you hit on me in the bar that day."I crossed my arms and gave him a sassy look.

"I was tipsy that night and don't you dare ask me anymore questions, lets go !"He walked passed me not giving me a chance to say anything.
He walked towards the four bodyguards that were standing by the cars. He said something to them and the four of them took one of the car and drove off.
"Are you coming ?"He said as he entered the car.
I rushed into the car because Drake would not hesitate to leave me here in the parking lot.
"Where did your guards go ?"I asked Drake who now had his eyes on the road.
"I got rid of them they are always following me everywhere and I need space."He sounded a little annoyed.
"What if someone or something bad happens now ?"I asked him while I played with the handle of my bag.
"I would be able to handle it, a lot of bad things has happened to me and here I am"He smirked and increased his speed.
"If you could reach the back seat, I'd like you to get me the package there."He requested while his eyes were still on the road. He looked a little tense while driving, I guess it has to do with his father's accident.
I reached the back seat and I brought out the white box which I held out to him.
"Open it dummy"He smirked gesturing his right hand towards the package in my hands. I chuckled as I opened the box, to my surprise it revealed a phone. So much had happened that I forgot I lost my phone the night Andre's fiasco happened.
"You noticed ?!"I asked him still in a surprised state.
"Well girls take pics and videos every second and I wondered why you didn't do that then I remembered you didn't have a phone."He looked at me giving me a naughty smile. I slapped his elbow while both of us laughed.
"Thank you."I said calmly as I took the phone out of the box.
"Don't thank me you're paying me back."He took his eyes of the road and gave me a ridiculous look.
"Drake, oh well you can take it out of my pay."I rolled my eyes at him.
"Oh no I'm just kidding besides are you hungry ?"He turned his attention back on the road.

"Yeah I'm starving!"I said with enthusiasm while I put the phone into my bag.
"Okay then ."He said as he took a left turn and within some minutes we were packed in front of a fast food restaurant. I gave him a surprised look with a an amused smile.
"What?! Surprised a billionaire eats burgers ?"He was right I can't believe he actually eats in a place like this.
We looked into the restaurant and it was crowded with people, all the tables were booked and the workers were exhausted.
"I'd go get the food while you wait in here for me okay ?"He said as he came down from the car.
"I wasn't going to do it anyway."I said rolling my eyes at him who shook his head at me.
I watched him get into the restaurant and how he waited in line to place his order. I got bored so I decided to explore my new phone, I was really enjoying the phone's functionalities until someone opened up the door to my car seat.
It was a guy dressed in a black hood and a black mask on his face. I tried to shout but he covered my mouth with his hands and I was disgusted by the dirty glove rubbing against my lips.
"Hey Missy , I have a message for you." He pulled out a note from his pocket and tossed it into the car. I struggled to get away from his grip then I heard a voice that seemed like my saving grace.
"Hey!"Drake shouted at the guy as he paced towards the scene.
"Calm down man !" The guy said letting go of me and he tried to run away but Drake caught up with him and he started laying punches on him.
I got down from the car immediately to stop Drake from dislocating his face.
"Drake stop! Just let him go."I shouted at him but he didn't stop so I went to grab his arm but he accidentally hit my forehead with his elbow. I screamed in pain and he left the guy,who ran as fast as he could. Drake came rushing down to where I sat on the cold cemented floor.
"I'm so sorry Skai, I just wanted to make a mark on him."He said as he reached for my forehead.
"Clearly you made a mark on me too."I said as I removed my hand from my forehead revealing the red and swollen spot.
His eyes became sad and he looked like he was disappointed. He sat down by my side then he put his head into his hands.
"It's fine Drake, it was an accident but you should have let him go when I asked you to."I put my hands on his back as I spoke to him.
"I bet that's the stupid Andre, he's such a coward."He said as he looked at me with an angry face.
"No that's not Andre, Andre would never run away or get beaten like that."I said while I took my hands off Drake with a frown on my face thinking what Andre could be up to.
"Skai I'm sorry for hitting you"He said with sadness and worry in his voice.
"It's fine,it was a mistake. Let's go have our food."I told him as I stood up from the ground and he did the same. He picked up the plastic bags from the floor and we entered into the car.
"So where can we eat this ?"He said as he settled the car seat.
"Here is a good place."I said gesturing my hands in the air referring to the car.
"Okay if you say so."He said as he brought out the burgers from the bag.
My eyes fell on the note that the guy Andre sent tossed into the car. I picked it up.
"What's that ?"Drake asked as he took a bite from his burger.
"It's the note that guy tossed into the car."I said as I opened up the note to read it and anger built in my body as I read the content.
So this is like a game to him. I'm ready to face this heartbroken idiot once and for all.
