A Sad Murder

Be My Girlfriend

When Drake released Anna from his embrace she was still feeling scared. "Please don't leave me here he might come back for me" she begged holding on to his shirt and he stared at her for a moment and a chuckle escaped his mouth.

"What do you mean he'll come back for you? Who is coming back for you?" he asked with open arms.

"He... that person I saw...he..."

"Ann! Stop being dramatic! You're just imagining things, there's no one out there. Have you been seeing a horror movie lately?" he interrupted.

"I've been seeing horror movies before now Drake and nothing like this has ever happened".

"I think you should stop seeing them".

"Drake this is no joke, he/she is out there waiting to get me!" She whisper-yelled.

"No, I disagree with you. If it means me going out there to prove it to you then I will. I'll be right back" he touched her cheek and headed out to glance around the surroundings.

He heave a long sigh when he found nothing and he went back inside. "Did you see him?" she rushed up to him.

"No. I told you no one was out there. Just relax, I guess you're stressed out. You should catch some sleep" he took her hand and held it.

"Do you really think is an imagination?" she asked quietly.

"Yes. No one is trying to harm you. I mean why should anyone want to do that? You're an sweet angel that everyone is meant to love not hate. So don't think twice about being stalked. Okay?".

She stared into his eyes trying to believe that and she blinks and gave a nod. "I guess you're right".

"Of course I'm right" he grins and kissed her nose. "You can go back to the living room, I'll clean this up first and join you afterwards".

"No, it's fine, let me do it" she replied.

"Can you let me do this?" he asked locking gaze with her.

She sighs and nods. "If you insist" came her reply and he smiled at her. "But I'm staying here with you to watch you sweep it all clean".

"Are you sure you're here to watch me or you're just being a scared baby?" he teased laughing and she grins widely.

"Don't make fun of me now" she pouted and he laughed more.

"Aww, look at that! So cute with a pout" he cooed stepping closer to kiss her but she dodged it.

"Your breathe sucks" she jokes giggling and he fake a frown.

"You just hurt my feelings, I'm going to show you the revenge that comes with it" he threatens and she raised a brow at him and took a step backwards.

"Catch me if you can!" she half-yelled and ran out of the kitchen to the living room laughing and he chase after her.

"I'm going to kiss you if I catch you" he yelled as he they both kept running around the couch.

"I dare you to catch me" she replied giggling. He surprised her by jumping off the couch and he got hold of her in his arms.

"No one dares me and go scot free" he wrapped his arms around her waist and turns her around while she kept giggling.

"What are you going to do now, huh?" she questions staring up at his face.

"You'll see" he replied and carried her bridal style, "with your permission i'm taking you to your room" he said and began walking to her room.

"But I didn't give you my permission" she forced a frown.

"Oh quit the fake frown it doesn't fit you" he said after stealing a glance at her. He opened the door to her room and walked inside and he used his leg to shut the door closed. He gently lay her on the bed and his arms were on both sides of her body, while her body was in between his arms that was rested on the bed.

His gaze was fixed on her and hers was fixed on his. "Stop looking at me like I'm your prey" she said in almost a whisper.

"Well you are" he replied.

"That sounds creepy".

He didn't say a word, rather his actions speaks for him. He lowers his face and kissed her on the lips deeply. She gave him access to her mouth and they both tongue lock. Anna felt a sweet tickling all over her body and she wrapped her arms around his neck and pull him more closer.

Few minutes later, Drake broke the kiss leaving Anna panting for breathe. "Well isn't that more creepy?" he grin cockily at her and her cheek blushed.

"You're so bad" she replied and turned her back on him.

"You call me bad? Okay" he sat up and started tickling her ribs and soft giggles erupt.

"S-t-o-p" she laughed but Drake turned deaf ears and kept tickling her.

"Tell me I'm not bad and I'll let you go" he said.

"I'm..not.. going to say...that" she replied between laughs.

"Have it your way then" he grins and continued tickling her. "How about you accept to be my girlfriend?" he offered her another option. Her laughter begins to die down on hearing the second option and he stopped tickling her.

"What did you say?" she asked her smile suddenly disappears.

"Don't act smart with me" he said and continued tickling her ribs and she giggled.

"Stop, I'm not playing smart with you".

"Then answer me. Accept to be my girlfriend".

"Don't pressure... me to...do that under your torture" she managed to speak between laughs.

"I'm going to stop if you promise to give me an answer".

"Okay, okay, I will. Just stop".

He stopped tickling her and her laughter switched to giggling and she turned to face him. "Gosh, you're really something, you almost killed me with that".

"You were the one acting all stubborn" he replied and pinched her nose lightly and she smiled. "Now answer me, would you be my girlfriend?".

"Why should I be your girlfriend?".

"Because there's no reason for you to be".

His response got her surprise and her smiles disappeared while his smile remained on his face. He took her right hand and entwined it to his.

"You don't like what I said? I see is obvious from your expression. When I said 'there's no reason to be' that doesn't mean I don't want you to be my girlfriend any more".

"Then what do you mean?".

"For you to become my girlfriend I don't need a reason behind it. What if those reasons why I wanted you to become my girlfriend later vanishes or got robbed off by life's problems, what would happen to us? This is why I don't want to love you with a reason, I don't want you to be my girlfriend for a reason, that way our love will last forever and we'll grow old together".

She gasps in disbelief, she was awed with his response. She kissed him without saying a word. "You're so sweet".

"Am I? Is my first time of doing this whole dating thing. I hope I don't bore you to death..." he paused and stared at her, "I mean that's if you'll say yes to my proposal".

She smiled. "Yes I'll be your girlfriend" she replied smiling.

"For real?!" He yells in disbelief and she nods giggling. "I love you!" He kissed her lips lightly and kissed her all over face excitedly.

"Drake stop, your kisses are sending fireworks all over my body" she laughed.

"Isn't that sweet to hear? I'll kiss you more then" he continue kissing her face, this time around he was gentle with his kisses.

His kisses went down to her neck and low moans escaped her lips. His hands traced down to her left boob and he rubbed on it gently. His lips caressed her neck to the middle of her chest. Her n*****s became hard and Drake squeeze it gently and she moaned with pleasure.

Anna's phone rang sending both of them flying apart from each other and Drake fell on his ass on the floor. "f**k!" He cussed in pain and she chuckled. "Stop laughing" he hush her and she giggled and stood up. She reached out for her phone.

"It's my mom. Don't say a word" she said before picking up the call. "Mom" she greeted smiling.

"My baby, is this how you're going to treat your mom now? You didn't even bother calling me since morning. Didn't you see all my missed calls?" her mom asked with a sad face.

"I'm sorry Mom, I've just been so busy since morning" she replied and glanced at Drake who was trying to stand up.

"Ouch" he cried out and Anna's eyes went wide open.

"Anna what's that?" her mom asked and her mouth flew open.

"I...mom is nothing...I just hit my feet on the couch" she lied and gestured Drake to keep shut and he smiled.

"Oh my dear, I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you okay? Were you badly hurt?" her mom asked beginning to sound worried.

"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry about me" she replied and glanced at Drake's who has taken a sit on her bed. He was grinning cockily at her, she scowls at him and diverted her gaze.

"Your dad is angry that you don't keep in touch with him like you promised and...."

"She should hear it from me. Anna, give me five reasons you're ignoring my calls and not returning my calls?!" Anna's dad scolded snatching the phone from his wife's hand and not letting her complete her sentence.

"Dad, I'm sorry. Is not intentional, combining work and school gives me no time at all. Whenever I see your calls after work hours I find it hard to call back because it's always late at night and didn't want to interrupt your sleep time".

"I don't care if you bother me at night with calls, you're my daughter and I have all the time in the world for you. I miss you so much my princess".

"Aren't you the best dad in the world?" she giggled and she heard her dad chuckled on his end. "I miss you guys so much".

"We miss you too baby. Turn on your FaceTime let's see how you're looking, and if that work is stressing you" her mom said.

Anna's eyes grew big and her mouth remained in a gape as she glanced back at Drake. Drake mouthed a 'what' to her but she couldn't speak to him without her parents hearing her.

"Mom, dad, can we make this video call tomorrow?".

"Why? Are you hiding something from us your parents?" her dad asked.

"Ha! No. How can you think that, dad? I just feel so tired and needed to sleep" she rubbed her neck nervously.

"We're not asking you to run around, we just want to see you" he said.

Anna groaned inwardly and glanced back at Drake. She mouthed a 'get down' to him and he furrowed his brows at her confusedly. "I said get down" she whispers shifting the phone away from her ear.

Drake frowns and obeyed and went down on his stomach beside the bed while she sat back down on the bed and used the duvet to cover up herself. She put the phone back to her ear. "Fine, if you insist" she said and the call was switched to FaceTime.

"Anna what happened, you looked somewhat stressed out, are you over working there?" her mom questions and Anna rolled her eyes.

"It's quite obvious she is. You should stop working there. Don't even work at all, we'll give you all the money you need" her dad said.

"Dad, mom! Please don't start. I'm enjoying my work at the Jacobs ice cream store, I'm not being stressed out. I'm fine, okay?".

"But your face tells differently" her mom interjected.

Anna thought of telling them the ordeal she's been through lately with her stalker but she kicked against it because she wasn't really sure if what she was going through is real or not.

Maybe is all an imagination just like Drake said. No one would have it in mind to hurt me because I'm a sweet angel.

She snickered at the words of Drake calling her a sweet angel.

"Anna Greg!" Her dad yelled on the phone and she snapped out of her so-filled thoughts.

"Yes Dad".

"For zoning out in such a way it shows you're not really okay" he said.

"Anna dear, please tell us what the problem is. Are you having hard time there?" her mom asked in panic.

"Can you too stop panicking about me? I'm a grown-up, I can take care of myself. I understand you're both looking out for me, but trust me, not allowing me work is just going to make me really feel bad. I'll talk to you guys in the morning. I love you both so much. Goodnight" she waved at them and they nodded and waved back at her and she hangs up the call.

Anna heave a long sigh while Drake emerged from his hideout. Anna got startled on seeing him and he snorted.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten I was here with you all the while you were on the phone?".

She shrugged and just smiled weakly. He sat down on the bed with her and he took her hand. "Your parents don't want you to work isn't it?" he asked and she nods.

"Aren't you lucky? While I'm here beating myself to work everyday of my life, you're also here being told not to do that, and everything you ever need will be met by your parents wealth. Isn't this life such a complicated one? I wish I was you right now, I'll jump all over and accept the offer without thinking twice" he said and forced out a chuckle.

"This is why I love you, you're so hard-working, kind-hearted and caring to your loved ones" she said holding his hand.

He gazed up at her surprise by her response. "Did you just say you love me?".

She locked gaze with him and stared at him in a gape. She was scared of repeating what she said, she didn't want to be so upfront with him. "Stay with me tonight, would you?" she requested.

"Would that make you happy if I stay?".

"I'm sure it'll make me more happier to feel the comfort of your arms around me while I fall asleep" she replied.

"Then I'm all yours for tonight" he replied grinning widely and she smiled sheepishly and they both hugged each other.
