Harmonica's eyes fluttered open and she closed it back, blocking the sunlight with her hands before opening it back again.
She got off the bed, surveying her surrounding in confusion before remembering that she had called drey last night.
So this was Drey's mansion.
The room was so spacious and beautiful. And the bed, it was as soft as a cushion. Harmonica had never slept as good as she did last night.
She happily went into the bathroom to brush her teeth with the toothbrush she saw there. Drey always kept a brush in all of his bathrooms.
He was a clean freak who always did things by the book.
Once she was done brushing, she walked down the stairs and the smell of fried eggs wafted her nostrils, making her gulp.
She saw Drey pacing around the kitchen sourcing for ingredients. He had an apron tied around his waist. And despite how rowdy he looked trying to fish for items, the kitchen was still neat.
'' Good morning.'' Harmonica greeted, sitting down by the counter.
Drey was startled for a moment but he regained his composure, smiling at her. ''Morning moni. Did you sleep well?''
''Never slept better.'' She answered, smiling back at him. ''You seem overdressed for bacon and eggs'' she said, eyeing his from head to toe.
Behind the apron tied around his waist, he was dressed neatly in a black suit to tie.
''Yeahh.. I'll be heading to work. Just thought to whip up something for you before I go.'' He said, smiling.
''Thank you Drey. I really appreciate it. Can I go with you tho? Maybe take on the job I declined?'' She asked, looking at him with doe eyes.
''I would love that. But I think you should rest moni'' He said averting his eyes from hers before flipping the bacon.
''Is something wrong?'' Harmonica asked, staring at him suspiciously. He used to be so excited about her joining his company. But now, he was acting so weird about it.
''Nothing. Just eat and rest okay? There's no need going out today.'' Drey said, putting the eggs, bacon and toasted bread on a plate before putting them in front of her.
Harmonica stared at the food. They looked appetizing but she didn't think she could stomach it. Drey was acting weird and… she quickly took her phone out of her pants pocket and opened her social media.
A gasp escaped her lips as she saw she was the one trending. Lucas had made a press report stating that they were now divorced and it was because she cheated on him.
A tear drop fell out of her eyes as she saw the nasty comments netizens were saying about her. She kept flipping until Drey yanked the phone out of her hands.
''Is this why you wanted me to stay home?'' She asked, her eyes still gazing at her hands where her phone was supposed to be.
''Moni I'm sorry you had to see that. A picture of me picking you up sufficed on the internet and Lucas called for a press conference today, telling the world that he is no longer affiliated with you because of infidelity. I'm really sorry for putting you in that position.'' Drey said, wiping the tear from her eyes with the back of his palm.
''Oh no it's fine. It's not your fault.'' She said, putting up a font with a laugh.
She picked up her fork and pierced a piece of bacon before putting it into her mouth. ''Hmmmm…you are still really good!'' She said with food filled mouth, giving him a thumbs up.
Drey laughed. He knew she was still hurting but if she wanted him to think she was fine, he would do just that. ''Well I guess I'll be off now.''
Harmonica quickly stood up, wanting to escort him to his car when he put his hands up. ''You don't need to see me off moni. You should eat'' he said before waving his hands at her.
Harmonica waved back at him until she could no longer see him. She waited till his car had exited the building before clutching her chest and crying.
She kept crying until her eyes were rid of all tears. As she got up, her head spinned for a while and she held it, trying to steady herself.
When she could finally Stand on her feet, she went back to the room and layed on the bed, caressing her belly.
****
The sound of car horn woke Harmonica up.
She was shocked to see that it was already sun down. She had slept for almost 7 hours.
Her stomach growled, indicating that she was hungry. Or rather, little berry berry was hungry.
She tiptoed her way to the living room and saw Drey entering into the house. He held a plastic bag and his hand and Harmonica smiled knowing what was in there.
She quickly took it from him, uttering a shy thanks before munching on the burgers.
Drey laughed, patting her head. ''When you're done, get dressed. We are going to have fun.''
Harmonica stared at him weirdly. ''Didn't you say I couldn't go out now? Or have you forgotten that I am the most talked about right now?''
''Get dressed moni. I know what I'm doing.'' He said, handing her another paper bag that had a piece of clothing in it.
Harmonica reluctantly took it from him before heading up stairs to change.
An hour later, they both stood inside DeLuca—A high end club that allocated only the rich and powerful. Even most of the top elites didn't have access to this VIP club.
Drey held her hand and took her to the bar side. '' Two whiskey please.'' He said to the bartender and the latter nodded.
''I'll have orange juice instead.'' Harmonica said and drey raised an eyebrow at her. ''We are at a club moni. We are supposed to be getting drunk.''
''I can't right now. I'm pre—''
''So the rumors are indeed true.'' Rita interrupted and Drey and Harmonica's head whipped in her direction.
''So you are now messing with the famous Drey DiCaprio. What a lucky girl you are harmonica'' she continued, eyeing her angrily.
But then, her expression morphed into joy.
''Anyways…'' she started, waving her hands in the air flauntingly. A 2 carat diamond ring graced her middle fingers perfectly and she smiled, noticing Harmonica's shocked expression.
''Lucas and I are getting married.''
