Always You

Chapter 10

James PoV

I am in the parking lot to surprise Lily. I decided not to waste any time but to show to her that I want to be closed with her again, just like the old times.

After minutes of waiting, I finally spotted her but with someone. A man, making my blood boil. He was trying to get the things Lily was holding.

Who is he in the life of Lily? There was a pinched on my chest thinking the possibility that she is already with someone, her boyfriend.

To answer my curiosity, I made myself known.

"Lily!" I called for her when they are a meter away from me.

"James?" She was surprised and then they both walked in my direction.

I can clearly see that the guy is into her.

"What are you doing here?" She asked but I looked at her then to the person beside her.

"He is Drake Rivers by the way." She introduced not answering my question in mind.

If he is her boyfriend or not.

"Drake, he is Jake, my boss," She said which the last word rang in my head.

She was clearly telling the guy that I'm just her boss and that's enough making me pissed, wanted to drive the car away from them.

But I will not.

"Hi, nice to meet you." We both said. We can both act as gentlemen if needed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked again.

"I bought something near your school and decided to fetch you," I said not changing my real purpose.

"You don't need to." She said.

Ah, because I'm interrupting you?

"Do you guys have a plan or?" I asked instead.

"No, We are actually heading to the mansion."

Are you bringing this guy into my house?

"Great timing then, why won't you ride with me?" My invitation.

"Sure, why not!" Drake said opening the car door signaling Lily to get in, what a true gentleman.

I was driving not feeling very okay as I kept glancing at the back.

"What's for dinner?" Drake asked Lily loud enough for me to hear.

A dinner then. I was holding the stirring wheel hard on the process.

Lily answered in a whisper I could not hear, which in return Drakes smiled slyly.

I was imagining she whispered some naughty things on Drake making him smiled that way. Seconds passed and I saw his hand slowly reaching his legs.

What a pig! And I hit the break surprisingly.

Lily's shout filled the car.

"What happened?" She asked looking at me with worry as if she really was.

"Ouch." Drake reacted holding his temple.

"There was a pig in front of me, a wild one who just crossed the road." I reasoned.

Drake laughed at that.

"I didn't know there is a wild pig in this place." He commented as if not believing me.

If he just knew what and who I really meant. The pig was not on the road but inside my car I wanted to throw, very far away.

"Are you, okay?" Lily asked and I'm expecting it was Drake she asked but it was me.

The look on her face was enough for me to feel better.

I nodded and resume the driving.

× × ×

I was pacing back and forth knowing the two were in Lily's room. What could they possibly be doing?

I was watching my watch and each seconds making me bang the door and drag the man out of her room.

I almost sighed in relief when I saw Drake going out from her room, he was exactly just three minutes and 10 seconds in her room and I'm quite sure they couldn't do any naughty job in that span of time.

It was just Drake who came out.

"Are you going, already?" I asked but the truth, I am more willing to send him out of my house.

"Yeah, thanks for the ride by the way," Drake said seriously.

"How about the dinner?" I almost laughed at myself for holding him longer.

"I was really hoping but I guess this paperwork need me more."

"That's too bad, I understand that feeling. I will see you out, then." As I stand from my seat to send him off.

We were in the doorway when Drake speaks.

"I really like her." He said making my heart to clench.

Drake didn't wait for me to respond as he already walks away.
