Chapter 4

On getting to his house, Jack offered me a beer but I declined and asked for orange juice instead. We made small talk but I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. If it were Drake, we'd be having so much fun and...

I mentally slapped myself. What I doing thinking about Drake when I'm here with another guy.

"Hey, come join me" Jack said from across the room where he was seated on the sofa. I went over and sat next to him. He was saying something about a wrestling match he saw and I zoned out. I was brought back to reality when I felt his hands on my thighs. I looked at him and he had this look in his eyes that I just couldn't explain. Slowly, he started leaning in and then his lips met mine. I expected to feel a spark or something but there was nothing. It just felt rushed and inappropriate. I tried pulling back but he had me firmly in place and kept forcing his tongue into my mouth. I finally pushed him away and he stood up angrily, running his hand through his hair.

"Why the rush Jack? Aren't we supposed to take all this a bit more slowly? I mean....."

"Shut the fuck up!!!"

"Excuse me?" I said standing up.

"Oh what?! You think I like you? Hell no! You're nothing but a bet." He all but shouted.

"What?!" I couldn't believe my ears right now.

"Yeah" he continued, smirking. "My friends and I made a bet that I was gonna get you to be my date to the dance, lure you to my house and then have sex with you."

I couldn't bring myself to utter a single word. How could I have been so stupid?

"So, I got you to be my date, brought you home and now, all that's left is sex and trust me, I have every intention of winning that bet" he said, coming towards me.

"Don't you dare come near me!" I screamed as I backed away from him.

"Aww now, who's going to save you?" Your sweet best friend Drake? Well guess what? He's not here so how about we get this over and done with."

I tried running but he was too fast for me. He grabbed me and threw me on he sofa. I was screaming so loudly my chest hurt.

"Save your strength princess" he said as he advanced on me. I waited with my eyes closed and tears streaming down my face to feel his hands on me but they never came. Instead, I heard a thud which made me open my eyes to see Drake holding a bat and Jack out cold on the floor.

"Oh Drake" I whispered as I ran to hug him. He wrapped his arms around me and I felt safe. "Thanks for saving my life" I said into his chest.

"It's fine. Are you alright?"

"I am now."

He let go of me to look at me. "I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you. If I had, then I wouldn't be in this mess."

"It's ok. There's no way you could have known and what's important is that you're safe now."

"Thank you so much."

"I guess we'd better get outta here."

"Totally."

"But how did you even know where to find me?" I asked as we got into his car.

"Let's just say I'm psychic." he joked as he started driving.

"Come on, I'm being serious" I said as I slapped his shoulder playfully.

"Ok, so earlier today, I heard some guys talking about some sort of bet with Jack and he was like he would try his possible best to win tonight by any means possible so when I didn't see you guys again and I learnt you had left with him, I knew he was up to something so I got into my car and followed you guys."

"Thank God you did, I was scared to death. The son of a bitch was going to rape me!" I shuddered just thinking about it.

"Thank God you're ok" he said to me.

"I'm so sorry I dismissed all your suspicions about him. Now I see him for what he really is; a big jerk."

"Yeah, that he is."

"Oh Drake, what would I do without you?"

"No worries Rish, I'll always be here for you."

I just smiled and he continued driving but the way he touched my hand and looked at me when he said that caused a little stir in my stomach. Well maybe I was just stressed after all the happenings of today or maybe.....

No, it couldn't be....
