Chapter 9

After saying goodnight to the rest of the women, Drake pulled Samantha aside to talk to her. He needed her advice on how he was supposed to deal with the tears and emotions of the women.

“How do you deal with emotional women normally?” Samantha asked him.

“I don’t. I let you deal with them.”

“So if I wasn’t around to talk to them. What would you say?”

Drake thought about it for a moment and he couldn’t figure out what he would say to them. Emotional women overwhelmed him and he didn’t want to have to deal with them at all. He really had not been prepared for the emotions that the women were going to have toward him after spending the week together.

“I have no idea.”

“How did you handle it with Victoria?”

“How did you know Victoria got emotional?” Drake said as he and Samantha walked toward the back porch.

“I just assured her that I had a great day with her and we would talk some more before the end of the night.”

“See, that was perfect. You know what to do. The problem is you’ve spent most of your life avoiding any sort of emotional connection with women.”

“I like Victoria. I don’t want her to feel bad.”

“Oh, Jesus Christ. Thank the Lord. Drake has real emotions!” Samantha screamed out.

“I know, it’s weird, isn’t it?”

The two of them finished talking about some specifics regarding the schedule for the rest of the week and then Samantha left so Drake could spend the last hour of the evening with Victoria.

“Hello there beautiful,” Drake said as he came out and sat on the lounge chair with Victoria.

“Hi, Drake.”

Victoria looked like she was feeling a little better about everything and Drake felt like he didn’t want to bring all of that up again. Instead, he decided to try and lighten things up.

“Should we take a bath?” Drake teased.

“I was thinking we should jump in the pool and go for a swim. How about that?”

“Sounds like a perfect plan,” Drake said.

He stood up and started to take off his clothes to get in the pool. At first Victoria thought maybe he had a swimsuit on under his clothes, but then he pulled down his pants and stood there totally naked.

“Drake!” She laughed. “We can’t swim naked.”

“Actually, we can do whatever we want. It’s my house.”

Drake looked around the yard and pointed out that there was no one else out there. He grabbed Victoria’s hand and pulled her up to stand with him. She couldn’t help but notice his cock had started to get hard with excitement as Drake began to take off her clothes.

“I’ll leave my bra and panties on,” Victoria said.

“What fun is that? No one is out here. Let’s go for it.”

Victoria looked around the yard and then looked up at the house. She wanted to be spontaneous and go skinny dipping, but she was so anxious that the other women would see.

“Ok,” Victoria finally said as she covered her eyes.

“Ok, we’re doing this?” Drake said.

He reached around Victoria and unhooked her bra. Then slid her panties off and stood back to look at her.

Victoria continued to stand but had her eyes covered. She felt so embarrassed and really hoped none of the other women came out to the pool area.

“Let’s swim,” Victoria said and she pushed Drake into the pool and jumped in right after him.

At least in the pool she could feel like she wasn’t totally exposed.

The water was cold and shocked both of their systems as they swam around to try and warm up. It was bitter sweet to have their day together ending, but both Victoria and Drake were exhausted.

“I had a really great day today Drake,” Victoria said.

She swam up to him and wrapped her arms and legs around his body. Drake carried her around the pool as they continued to talk and kiss in between their conversation.

Victoria shivered from the cold of the water and Drake tried to keep his arms around her to keep her warm.

“It was by far the best date I’ve been on in a very long time. Granted I don’t actually go on a lot of real dates, though.”

“You don’t?”

“No. I don’t usually find very many women that I truly like.”

“The women here seem mostly nice. Do you think you’ll find your match here this week?”

Drake didn’t want to lie to Victoria, after meeting the other women he wasn’t sure at all who he might pick at the end of it all. But he did feel very confident that his match was among the women in the house with him.

“I hope so.”

“Oh, no!” Victoria exclaimed as she pushed herself away from Drake.

“What?”

Drake had no idea what was going on. Everything seemed to be just fine between them then suddenly Victoria was pushing herself away and trying to get out of the water.

“I forgot to bring my secret present that I purchased at the store,” Victoria said as she got out of the pool and wrapped herself in a towel.

“It’s almost midnight. We can do it another time,” Drake said calmly.

“Oh, I’m sorry. It would have been so much fun.”

“You should tell me what it is. I mean since I can’t actually see it or play with it. Just tell me.”

Victoria smiled and sat down on Drake’s lap in the lounge chair. She sort of liked that they had something that they could talk about throughout the week. Unfortunately, he was going to have dates with all the other girls and she didn’t think she would get the chance to have any more alone time with him, though. She vacillated as she tried to decide if she should just tell him what she bought.

“I think,” Victoria said and then stopped to kiss Drake softly. “I think that I’m going to keep it a secret from you.”

“Well that seems like a horrible plan.”

They both smiled and continued to kiss softly for a few more minutes. It was the end of their time together and Victoria knew that Emily was going to want to see Drake at least for a little bit before bed that night.

“It will give us something to look forward to,” Victoria kissed Drake one last time and then saw Emily as she walked out to the pool area.

“I’m so sorry you two, but can I interrupt?” Emily said as walked up to the two of them.

“Hi, Emily,” Victoria said as she tried to be nice to her.

“Do you two mind if I join you for a little bit?” Emily sat down next to Drake and Victoria, who was still in his lap.

“I was just heading up to bed,” Victoria said as she stood up.

“Stay for a little bit,” Emily said and pulled Victoria back down to sit on the chair across from them.

Drake’s eyes got big and he looked at Emily and then over to Victoria. He didn’t know what this was all about but he was certainly surprised by Emily, her sweet voice and quietness seemed to be hiding something much more fun.

“You want me to stay with you and Drake?” Victoria said, not sure if she had heard correctly.

“Yes, it will be more fun with three of us,” Emily said.

And with that comment, Drake knew the rest of his week was going to be pretty fucking amazing.
