Jacqueline’s POV
Tracy and I had to go to the guy at the back quickly and I took Drey’s keys from the bowl of keys I saw in his hands and ran through the kitchen looking for the back exit with my best friend. I don't know what is happening there but I hope Drey and Luke will be fine. Finally, we saw the back door and it looked like people too were following us behind to escape, we got out and the only problem now is identifying Drey’s car. Tracy and I just followed the sound the car made whenever I pressed the key and we were able to see where it was parked. Some people had already driven off before I realized someone was chasing me and Tracy. We had to run so fast to the car and just within the nick of time before he caught up to us we had successfully entered the car and locked it. He banged on the door and on the glass with his hands trying to break it before I finally turned on the car and drove away from the car parking lot and hid the car somewhere else but still in the same parking lot because the parking space is very big and it was easy because there were still lots of cars parked there.
I turned off the engine and adjusted my seat to be flat so I could lie down, Tracy did the same.
I was still trying to catch my breath and calm down a bit to process what had just happened but Tracy couldn't keep calm, although I needed calming I put myself together because of Tracy, and I held her hands tight to reassure her that everything would be fine.
“Jacqueline, why was that person after us? What if he also needed help in getting out of there?” Tracy asked, trying to clear her confusion.
“To be honest, I don't think so. If he needed help why did he try breaking the glass or why didn't he shout something for clarification, but he just kept chasing us like he wanted to kill us.”
Tracy did not say anything and I didn't either because I was still trying to understand why. I do not remember doing anything wrong to anyone, so what's really going on? My phone then rang bringing me out of my thoughts and I rushed to answer the call thinking it was Drey, but to my greatest surprise, it was Andrew.
“You bastard, what do you want?” I said making sure to leave a disdainful tone.
“Ohhh chill Jacqueline, just called to check if you got my random present.”
“Present?”
“Yeah. Maybe someone might get hurt the next time. You are meant for me alone Jacqueline Woods and no one else. You are Mine.” After he had said this he hung up. This sent a cold chill down my spine. Tracy could sense something was wrong but it seemed like she was still trying to prevent having a panic attack. Soon after Tracy’s phone rang then she hung up after saying where we were.
Drey and Luke came to meet us and Tracy and I both went to the back of the car to sit. Everywhere was quiet, our double date was ruined and Tracy was really looking forward to this dinner, I feel really bad for her.
“Would you girls spend the night at my place?” Drey asked as he turned on the car. I just looked at Tracy and she was not responsive. I agreed that we would at the end because it looks like Tracy needs it more than I do and tomorrow is a school day. God help me. God help us.
As soon as we got to Drey’s place, Luke came down from the car to help Tracy, and he helped her by carrying her in a bridal style because it was very obvious she was not only tired but sad. I could only smile at the gesture because I really do hope my friend doesn't get hurt by Luke the way Drey hurt me.
I wasn't mad at Drey anymore but I just accepted the fact that love isn't meant for me and I should just focus on self-development more.
We all went in to settle in for the night but my eyes couldn't stop staring at Tracy and Luke. I don't know Luke much but I hope he doesn't turn out to be just one of those guys for Tracy.
We all waited in the living room while Drey and Bob were talking. His sister Daniella came down the stairs and it looked like she was stepping out, she said something inaudible to Drey then waved at me while smiling and left. Drey then told Bob to tell the chef to fix something for us to eat. Everywhere was quiet, and no one said anything not until Tracy got up and asked Drey which room she and Luke would sleep in. Drey then called Bob to show them their room. Now it's just me and the person who made me feel used. I shouldn't feel this way, he did not use me, I also wanted it and gave in, but why am I so mad at him saying we're not dating “Ughhh” Unknowingly I sighed outwardly and Drey just had to ask what was wrong but I didn't respond. I got up and called for Bob to show me the room I'd be sleeping in but he just had to lead me to Drey’s room.
“Bob, this is Drey’s room.”
“Yes ma'am, Drey specifically asked for only one room to be arranged which was for master Luke and your friend”
“Ohhh okay thank you. Please whenever the meal is ready please bring it up for us to eat in the rooms” After saying this I walked into Drey’s room and I shut the door.
I felt like having my bath but I didn't want to do too much by taking Drey's clothes without asking him so I just sat on the couch in the room playing a game on my phone. Soon after Drey came in, walked into his closet then handed me a top and a pair of shorts, telling me to go shower. Honestly, he sounded a bit authoritative so I just got up immediately and went into the bathroom. I had a cold bath because I felt like it was needed. On putting on his clothes, the shorts turned out to be too big, all I could think of was wearing only the oversized top leaving underneath bare and I did just that. Drey got into the shower after and came to join me in the room later when he was done with the food already being served by one of the housekeepers then she left.
The room was still very quiet, and neither of us said a word to each other, we ate the food in silence until Drey cracked and couldn't take it anymore
“Jacqueline, what is wrong please I need to know what I did do wrong so I can apologize. This silence is torture.”
I also felt terrible ignoring him but I did anyway because I was upset. Soon after my phone rang, it was my grandmother and I apologized for not calling first to inform her about sleeping out.
It didn't take long before memories of what had happened earlier replayed in my head. Since when did Andrew start this psycho personality cause I have never perceived him to be such a person. I finally broke the silence and filled Drey in on what had happened before.
