coming to her and I’m going to personally make sure she gets what she deserves.”

Drake was across the room in a flash. He picked me up and swung me around until I started feeling dizzy. “Do you have any idea how sexy you are when you’re being evil?”

“Put me down! I’m not going to be very sexy if I vomit on your shoes, you’re making me sick!”

He quickly dropped me and stepped back.

I grabbed the countertop to keep my balance. “Thanks.”

Before my head could stop spinning, he grabbed me and pulled me into his arms, kissing me deeply. “Come on, I want to show you just how sexy you are.”

With that, we made our way to the bedroom, our now cold dinner forgotten. Who needed food when you have Drake?

“You’re absolutely insane woman!” Amber screeched at me the next afternoon.

I was having lunch with Amber and Logan and I had just broke the news about my surprise trip to Maryland and my mother’s visit last night. Unsurprisingly, they were not taking it well.

“Chloe this is insane, you’re willingly walking into the belly of the beast. Even if your plan to change your aunt’s mind works, you’re still going to be stuck in a house with that woman when your aunt breaks the news. I don’t see that ending well,” Logan said as he looked at me with concern.

After everything that had happened between us, he was trying to reign in his overprotective streak and I could see how much trouble he was having right now. His voice was calm, but his eyes said he wanted to grab me and lock me in his room.

“I won’t be there when my aunt tells her. I’m only staying there long enough to convince her not to give my mom the money, and then I’ll be in my car on my way to one of Drake’s shows. But if things do go bad, Danny will be there to help me and I’m sure Jordan will be too.”

“How long are you staying?” Amber asked as she sipped her coffee.

I twirled my hair as I watched people through the window of the café we were sitting in, lost in thought. If I could pull this off without any problems, I would be gone in a couple of days. If something went wrong, well I wouldn’t worry about that.

“Not long. Drake will be playing shows in Maryland while I’m there, so whenever I’m done I’m going to meet up with him wherever he is at that point and continue on.”

“So you’ll still be gone all summer?” Amber asked as she pouted. When I told her about Drake asking me to go with the band, she had not been happy at all. She had plans for us this summer that had involved lots of shopping, along with other things I absolutely hated. I had felt horrible about ruining her plans, but secretly I was glad I could get out of them.

“Yes, I’m still going with Drake. You’ll have Logan to keep you company, take him shopping.” I said as Logan shot me a glare.

“Yeah, not happening. I have better things to do than walk around the mall for six hours while Amber searches for the perfect pair of shoes,” he said as he visibly shuddered.

I couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction. If there was anyone else in this world who hated shopping more than me, it was Logan.

Logan shot me a grin and I felt my heart lighten. After three months, I still took every smile he gave me to heart. There had been a few tense weeks that I thought I’d lost him forever, but Logan being the kind soul he is, had taken me back with open arms. Even though things would get strained and awkward from time to time, Logan and I were healing together. Drake and he had both agreed to get along with each other, but if I brought Drake around I could easily see the resentment in Logan’s eyes. I tried not to let it bother me, the past was the past, but sometimes it did.

“Shut up both of you. I don’t need either of you to go shopping with me; I can have fun all by myself!” Amber said as she shot us both a glare.

“We know you can Amber,” I said as I hid a smile.

“And you’d better freaking call me at least once a week while you’re gone! I mean it, I can’t go from spending every day
