26. Would She Like The Protrait
She then opened the bathroom door slowly, she was surprised to see him inside the bathtub, his beautiful eyes were closed and his head was resting on the headrest of the bathtub. His left hand was holding onto one of the two empty bottles.
From what he knows about Drake Bell, he wasn’t a type that drinks irresponsibily unless of course he has a lot on his mind. Lily squatted before him then removed the bottle his second hand was holding gently.
She took the two bottles and put it far away from him then went back to the bathtub, only his face, neck, broad shoulder and half of the chest could be seen. He looked terribly handsome and it was impossible for her not to adore God’s special creation. She wasn’t surprised she fell in love with him in the past.
“Drake Bell,” she called very softly but audibly. Drake Bell opened his eyes slowly and looked at her direction then his eyes closed again.
“Why did you get yourself drunk?” Lily asked, squatting beside him.
Drake Bell could sense that this person with him was Lily. He could tell through her voice. He mumbled very sadly,” Lily.”
“Huh?”
Took a while before he spoke, “you refused my date and went out with… my uncle…” He said very sadly, “I feel terribly sad, Lily.”
“I feel sad that you won’t forgive me no matter how hard I… try,” he said and then set his gloomy face on her again, he called very affectionately, “Lily…”
Lily could only stare at him, “forgive me…” He mumbled.
“I will do anything for you to forgive me… you just state it… Please!” He pleaded.
“I should go,” Lily wanted to stand but he held her hand and pulled her carefully into the bathtub. Her clothes got soaked at once and she spoke harshly, “Drake Bell, what in the world are you doing?”
“Stay with me, it hurts…” He said as he staggers his head. He didn’t want her to go at all.
Lily didn’t feel comfortable inside the bathtub but what was even more disturbing was that she was sitting in his dick. Although she was wearing a jean trouser, she could still feel his dick on her ass.
“I’m on cloth, it’s not comfortable for me to remain here,” Lily said.
“I don’t want you to go,” Drake Bell drawled her upper body closer to himself and made her rest her head on his chest, “I want to wake up every morning with you in my arms, Lily.”
Yet, Lily didn’t have the courage to say a word. Since he was in his drunken state, Lily remained. After a while, she noticed he had slept off. She could tell with his breath that had became very even.
She then pulled herself away from him carefully, trying not to wake him. He’s naked and they weren’t couple, it’s impossible for her to dress him up. She just have to leave him and hope that he would be sober by the time he wakes.
Lily then walked out of the room with her clothes soaked. She soon appeared inside her room. She walked straight to the bedroom and changed up.
She came back to lay on the bed and try to sleep but couldn’t sleep. No matter how she try, she could only toss to and fro the bed. She didn’t know why her mind was with Drake Bell. Was she supposed to care for him?
Drake Bell should be the least of the person that should even bother her or perhaps because he was the father of her child.
Lily didn’t know how many minutes or hours had passed but she had to stand from the bed She changed from her nightwear into a blowse and trouser then went back to Drake Bell’s room. She realized that he wasn’t still in the room. How long would he remain inside the bathtub?
Lily sat on the bed and checked the time on her phone, she realized that an hour had passed since she left this room. Should she check on him again? While deliberating on whether to go again, the door of the bathroom opened and there appears Drake Bell, he was only a towel.
His full broadchest was now revealed and Lily almost got enchanted by his sexiness. This man is hot, no doubt. Lily admitted as she adored his body. His body but not him, if that’s a thing to say.
“Lily,” Drake Bell called. He had thought that it was inside his dream that he saw Lily beside his bathtub, was it not a dream? He remembered dragging her inside the bathtub and pulling her close to himself. He didn’t know if she got injured in the process or not.
“I hope you are fine now?” Lily asked with a blank look. Her face was totally devoid of emotions whereas, Drake Bell’s face was full of emotions. It used to be the other way round in the past but perhaps this is the irony of life.
Drake Bell went to his wardrobe and wore a nightwear then tied it’s rope across his belly. Afterwards, he removed the towel, went to hang it then came back but this time, Lily already stood like someone ready to leave.
“Don’t go,” Drake Bell said, “please…”
Lily paused, “I actually do have something to discuss with you about the kids but I think that should be tomorrow, you may need to rest now.”
“I haven’t rested since the day you left my life, Lily.” Drake Bell said and walked closer to her, “you can go on and discuss with me.”
Lily nodded and sat at the edge of the bed. Drake Bell also say beside her, adoring her extremely beautiful side profile.
“The kids would be having a game party tomorrow, I wrote an official mail to the company asking for leave but I haven’t got a response yet.”
“You and Alexander are close, why don’t you speak to him directly to give you a leave?” Drake Bell asked.
“Business is business, I have to go through the right route if I must ask for a leave. I shouldn’t abuse the privilege of the closeness between Alexander and I.” Lily said and looked at him, “can you attend the party… please? For the sake of the kids.”
Drake Bell was taken aback by that but he quickly thought, he had been absent from the kid’s life for years, attending a game party is the least of what he could do to make up for his absence.
“I will.” Drake Bell said.
“Oh, thank you.” Lily said and after a few seconds, she spoke, “that’s all I came to discuss with you. I should take my leave now.” But she still remain seated.
“Oh! Can I take you somewhere on Saturday? I know you may say ‘no.'” Drake Bell said, of course, her rejecting his offer always hurt him but he had to keep asking.
“I don’t want to go anywhere with you, sorry,” Lily stood and began to walk out.
Drake Bell then stood and mumbled quietly, “okay, sleep well and be happy.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Lily turned to him and beheld his cute calm face, “thank you, Mr. Drake.” Afterwards, she walked away.
Mr. Drake? Mr. Drake? Mr. Drake? He repeated those words again and again in his mind. He then went ahead to pick up his phone and called the artist he gave a project, once the artist answered, he asked, “are you almost done.”
“I have just finished up, sir. I’ll deliver it tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Drake Bell then hung up. He had told the artist to draw Lily in a protrait and make sure the background was Tsushima Island, that’s an Island Lily talked about repeatedly that she wants to visit, that was during their early years of their marriage. “Perhaps, Lily would love the protrait but most importantly, he was ready to grant her utmost wish of taking her to Tsushima Island.”
Would she like the protrait? Drake Bell thought to himself. She will… she should… He tried to comfort himself.
