Chapter 28: The Proposal
"A gym...?" I asked incredulously staring at the rough looking building in front of me. We drove for almost an hour to be here? Somebody has some explaining to do.
"Yup" Daniel answered cheerfully jumping out of the truck and landing by my side.
"And we are here because?" I stretched the last word hoping that someone soon could explain all of this.
"Like we said, we are just following orders. I don't know what the hell that crazy-motherf*--" Liam elbowed Josh successfully shutting him up. Must say he was not so happy about it. In a matter of seconds, Josh had Liam in a headlock and he was struggling to get out. Daniel rolled his eyes and reluctantly went to separate them.
I turned to look at Tori who was amused at the boys' behavior. "What do you think this is all about?" I asked trying to get her attention.
"Hmm, sounds like someone is trying to get some points." She smirked looking towards the gym.
"Do you think I should go in?" I asked giving all this a second thought. I wasn't too eager to forgive him now. I wanted to make him suffer a bit more.
"Girl if you don't go, I will. Who knows, maybe he has something special for you in there." She waggled her brows suggestively.
"Alright! You have the strongest headlock!" Liam yelled capturing my attention towards them again. He got out of the position he was in and tried to kick a laughing Josh, who was quick enough to avoid it. Poor Liam was examining the damage made on one of the truck's tinted window.
"Stop being such p*ssies and let's focus on the task at hand." Daniel said in a bored tone. Seems like they do this all the time. "Well, my lady, this is where we part ways." He turned to walk towards the truck.
"Wait! You are going to leave me here, alone?" I knew well I was not going to be alone, but I wanted them to admit Drake was inside.
"Yeah, about that, maybe you should go inside. It's not very safe out here, not even during the day." Josh said scratching the back of his neck.
"Tori?!" I asked in disbelief when I saw my best friend walking along with them to the truck.
"Babe, I ain't staying here alone. So you might as well get your ass in there." She turned and nodded towards the gym.
I scoffed. This is unbelievable.
"Now about that foreplay boys!" She bounced on the backseat.
"Tori! Boyfriend!" The nerve of this girl sometimes.
"Don't worry; we'll take care of her." Daniel winked mischievously.
"Oh no, you won't!" I yelled feeling like a protective gen all of a sudden.
"Bye Emily!" The all chorused as Liam turned on the truck again and left without another word.
Aw, double crap.
Daniel's words about the place not being safe started to get to me and paranoia took over. I began to look both ways frantically hugging the purse to my chest. I hurriedly made my way towards the entrance and got in. The place was...what I expected. It had a boxing ring on a corner, a bunch of weights equipment, punching sacks, running machines, and pretty much every other crap you would find in a gym.
I made my way towards the center and looked everywhere for signs of any other person inside, but there was no one else.
I was about to take my cell phone out of my purse when a voice next to my ear made me jump three feet high.
I screamed and tried to use my cell phone as a weapon. During my fit I realized that my attacker was none other than my soon-to-be dead boyfriend.
He had his hands up in surrender and his lips where in a thin line, obviously trying very hard not to laugh.
"It's okay Emily. You can put your phone down. We don't want you to hurt yourself now, do we?" He asked with a huge smile.
I was about to smile at his comment but I remembered how p*ssed I was at him. So I did what any rational person would do. I smacked him, in his arm...a lot.
"Alright, alright!" He had his hands up in surrender again. I stopped but scoffed in annoyance. The nerve he has.
"Why am I here?" I crossed my arms and asked with my level of annoyance growing by the second.
"Well, someone was not answering my calls and avoiding me at school so I had to do this." He said motioning around.
"Right, of all places; why here?" I asked, curiosity taking the best of me.
"I have a proposal for you." Drake put his hands in his pockets getting all serious.
"A proposal?" I asked not comprehending and getting a little lost checking out my boyfriend. Yeah, he's an ass but he's still mine. Back to subject, he was wearing a navy blue sleeveless shirt and some gray athletic shorts. He looked fit with his muscles on display and his perfectly messed up hair. I wanted to run my hands through it and...off subject! abort mission!
The rational part of my brain brought me back to the main situation. I was mad and he hasn't apologized, and worst of all, he kidnapped me and brought me here.
"Yeah, let's wrestle for it. If you win you can ask anything you want from me, and if I win you have to stay with me tonight."
I scoffed again. "Like I have any chance against you. You are a pro at this."
"I know, but last time you won."
"Yeah, that was because I distracted you."
"Right, and I know you still have some more of those tricks up your sleeve. I can't say it'll be easy because I'll be expecting it. You will have to be clever." He smirked at me like knowing he already won this conversation.
I gave it a thought and, what the hell? Either ways I would still win. I can act all tough and sh*t but I'm missing him and that would give him a nice opportunity to apologize.
"Okay, I'll do it." I got close to him and dragged my finger from under the base of his neck until the middle of his chest. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Let's see what you've got." My teasing tone was already getting the best of him. I saw him bite the inside of his lip trying to strain himself.
"Alright, where should we do it?" I asked while taking off the blouse I had revealing the black tank top underneath it. I had some white short shorts and sandals. When I turned around to throw my blouse away, I saw Drake's eyes with a familiar shade of eye color I've only seen once. The night I stayed with him before the accident.
He cleared his throat trying to avoid looking at me. "At the mattresses." He nodded and started walking towards the big blue squared mattress at the left side of the gym. I followed him while putting my hair up in a messy ponytail.
"Okay, rules are there are no rules. Obviously I won't hurt you, but I won't go easy on you either." He smiled taking off his sneakers and whilst I took off my sandals.
"Good, can't say I won't hurt you with my mad moves but you are in for it." He snickered at my comment and stood a few feet away from me getting ready.
"Ready?" He asked and I nodded. Before I even finished nodding, he was charging towards me. I squealed but was fast enough to miss him by a hair and before I could complain, he was charging at me, again. I ran trying to avoid him but staying inside the mattress. I didn't want to lose so quickly.
"I can keep chasing you all night babe." He said with an amused expression walking in circles after me.
I frowned at him and took him by surprise by tackling him. He was quicker and rolled on top of me, settling himself between my legs and supporting his weight on his elbows.
I could feel his steady breathing on my chest. I couldn't stop looking at his eyes. After a couple of seconds, his face wore a smug expression because I did nothing to fight him off.
"I gotta say, this has been the easiest fight I've ever had. I thought you were going to show a little more resistance." He was trying to maintain his cocky tone but his husky one gave him away.
I took that as my opportunity and lifted my pelvis to touch his. That grinding motion made him hold his breath and I rolled on top of him pinning both his hands to his sides.
I grinded him again and got my face close to his. I grazed my lips with his. "I thought the same." I meant to say in a teasing tone but it copied Drake's husky one.
His hazel eyes were completely filled with lust. He made a move to kiss me but I moved away. He had a confused expression but tried again, and again I moved away.
"What's wrong?" He asked when I straighten up and he sat up along. He was so tall that even if I was sitting on his lap we were eye leveled.
"Why did you lie to me?" I asked crossing my arms in front of me.
He took a deep breath and sighed looking everywhere but at me.
"Emily, there's nothing else that I want more than to spend all my time with you, you know that? But..." I looked at him expecting for the sentence to be finished.
"but...?" I prompted when I saw the hesitation in his eyes.
"But it's hard to deal with your brothers. It's one against four and, no offense, they are f*cking crazy when it comes to you."
"So what? You are going to leave me because of them?" I asked a little shocked and hurt he would say something like that.
"Are you?" I felt a pang on my chest when I heard that question. I know I love my brothers, but I made a decision and I'm going to stand my ground. I will not let them interfere in my life anymore.
"No, of course not." I placed both my hands on his face to make him look at me in the eyes. "I won't let them get in the way of our relationship. If they don't like it, it's their problem."
"I would do anything for you." He encircled my waist with both his arms bringing us closer and resting his forehead in mine. "That's everything I needed to hear. I'm sorry I didn't go to see you, but I was giving you time to deal with this, alone. You had to. You are so used of people making decisions for you that I thought that putting you in that situation would make you take one yourself."
I smiled at him, understanding his position. "That's a very risky thing to do. What if I didn't choose you?"
"Can't lie to you there, I was sort of scared, but I have faith in you. And even if you chose the other option it would have hurt but at least you chose it yourself." His smile was so sincere that I knew he was being completely honest.
Call me weak, but that's all I needed to forgive him. I slide my hands from his face to the back of his neck and pulled him towards me, but right before I was going to kiss him he pulled back.
"Are you trying to pay me back?" I raised my eyebrow a little annoyed.
He chuckled. "Trust me, I want to kiss you, but there's something I want to show you before that." He picked me up from his lap easily and set me next to him.
I grabbed his hand and began to walk towards this mystery destination.
He stood in front of a door and opened it. It was pitch black. I turned to look at him confused. He smiled and turned to the switch. When I saw what he had done, I was in awe.
No, he didn't...
