Stretching my hands wanting to feel Drake's body but felt the bedsheets instead.
Still sleepy I turned to the other side using my hands to look for where he was.
"Drake!," I murmured.
I opened my eyes and sat up immediately but there was no sign of him on the bed.
I scanned the room with my eyes but I didn't see a glimpse of him.
"Where did he go this early?" I asked myself yawning.
I stood up from the bed and walked briskly to the bathroom.
I knocked on the door but no answer came from inside, I unlocked it and got in, wasn't there either.
I sighed as I walked back into the bedroom still wearing his shirt.
I saw cup and toast bread by the side of the bed as I walked quickly and stared at the contents in the tray.
There was a cup of tea and some toast, I saw a letter which had a heart shape on it.
I took it quickly and opened it shocked by what I saw, I sat on the edge of the bed reading what was written on it.
Dear Princess,
I'm sorry this departure of mine had to be extemporaneous but I had no choice but to leave, considering how urgently my presence was demanded.
I'm currently on my way to Malaysia for a business meeting and I have to take care of my completely stuffed schedule to have more time to spend with you later because damn, having to spend a whole two weeks away from you is like hell to me.
I will be staying over there for two weeks but as I'm currently writing this letter, it feels like I'm going to be away from you for two decades and I can't explain how excruciatingly painful it already is.
I want you to stay strong and healthy for me. The nurses will come to check up on you frequently and I want you to use your medications as prescribed — because I know how stubborn you could be sometimes but either way, I love you just the way you are — and I assure you that soon enough, you'll be up and doing in no time at all.
Also, I don't want you returning to work just yet, just take adequate time to rest and recuperate fully. I'm gonna miss you so much, baby. I am.
You're so precious to me, sweetie, even more than precious; your value is inestimable and I want you to know that deep in the depths of your heart. You and I still have lots of surprises heading our way and I want you to be right beside me when we unwrap them together.
I love you, princess and I always will. Take care, honey.
Your love,
Drake.
Tears glistened on my eyes as I read the letter once more before holding it dearly to my chest, kissing it lightly.
I grabbed the cup of tea and drank it and also ate the toasted bread along.
I felt liver now as I stood up from the bed taking the tray along with me.
I got out of his room, closing the door lightly.
I tiptoed to my room, I wouldn't want my mum to see me like this especially when I'm just wearing a male shirt.
I better save myself from her intriguing questions.
I got to my room successfully and close the door gently.
"Good morning Darling," I heard my mum's voice making me freeze on a spot.
I turned slightly to see if the voice I heard was true.
There she was sitting on my bed with a smirk.
'Gawd!! Why now?' I asked myself bitterly as I walked timidly to her.
"Good morning mum," I greeted.
" I guess you slept very well," my mum said sarcastically.
"Yes, I did mum," I answered before dropping the tray on my table.
"You've eaten already," She said more like a question.
"Yes, I have already," I said avoiding her gaze.
"Where were you last night?" She asked suddenly.
"How did you get into my room?" I asked surprisedly.
"I asked you first, so answer me immediately," My mum said with a stern look making me roll my eyes.
"I slept in Drake's room," I answered feeling the heat rise on my cheeks.
" Hmmm! What's with you blushing?" She asked staring at me.
" Uhm! Nothing," I said nervously as I sat on the edge of the bed playing with the hem of Drake's shirt.
"You slept with him," She said looking at me suspiciously.
" No-nooooo mum!" I said my eyes nearly bulging out.
My mum raised a brow at me and I smiled sheepishly.
"We just cuddled and Slept," I said emphasizing more on the word slept.
" Ok darling, I just want you to be happy with whomever you are," She said smiling as she came over to me and sat close to me patting my back.
"I'm so happy with him," I said confidently and she smiled.
"Okay dearie, How about you take a shower and let's have a walk," she asked hoping that I say yes.
" Of course mum, I would love to do some exercise, I've been stuck in bed for a month," I said with a smile.
" Good! Meet me downstairs!" She said leaving my room.
I stood up and went into my bathroom to have a warm bath.
Can't wait to have fun with mum!
