'Date' [Oneshot]

Drake was cruising down the street blasting music from his CD player. He had just been out with his friends and was on his way home. He looked out the window and spotted his best friend on her porch with her head in her hands. He sighed and parked his car, he walked over and took a seat next to her.

"So he didn't turn up?"

"No! I'm such an idiot! I've waited for him for two hours! I tried calling him and texting him but I don't think he got them. I didn't want to go back inside because my mum was so happy I was going on a date and now look at this... and me" Nicki kept her face in her hands silently crying to herself.

"You look fine, he didn't text or call you back?" She shook her head and leaned her head on his shoulder. 

"He's a idiot, why would a guy not turn to a date with someone like you?" Drake tucked her hair behind her ear and wiped away her tears.

Nicki sighed and looked up at the night sky as Drake softly kissed her forehead. "I got all dressed up for nothing and I feel like shit"

The heartbreak and sadness was clear in her voice. He couldn't bare the thought of his best friend being so upset over something let alone a guy. He wanted to give her the night she deserved or at least cheer her up.

"Not for nothing" Drake got up and outstretched his hand, waiting for her to take it. 

"Come on" She pondered whether she should take it but eventually did and he pulled her up from the cold step. He interlocked their fingers and led her towards his car. He made sure she was in before he got in and drove down the street.

"Are you gonna tell me where we're going?"

"No, shut up and enjoy the ride"  The subject was left alone and they made small talk for the rest of the journey. They soon pulled up outside a restaurant and Drake helped her out of the car. He opened the door for her and they walked in side by side. A waiter spotted them and had them seated right away, they immediately picked up their menus.

"This is really sweet, thank you"

"Don't thank me yet"

"This 'date' has even started yet but it's already better than whatever that douche was planning for me" They stopped talking and focused on what they were going to order.

Not long after, they had finished their meals and were just driving around the city. The window was down and Nicki stuck her hand out of it feeling the night's breeze, making waves with her hand. Drake took his eyes off the road for a millisecond watching her. She looked so carefree and it made him smile.

Their next stop was the beach. From their many conversations, he remembered that she always wanted to go the beach after a date or have a beach date. The car came to a halt and Nicki looked out and all she saw was the sea hitting the shore.

She gasped. "Really?"

Drake nodded. "Yep. Come on, I've got to bring you home soon"

Nicki took no time getting out of the car and running towards the beach, well trying to it was hard since she was wearing high heels. Drake locked the car and ran after her. 

She was sat in front of the sea with her feet in the sand and her shoes in her hand. The breeze was blowing her hair and she looked breathtaking. Drake stopped for a moment and took a quick picture of her, he wanted to post it online but he knew she would killed him so he settled on keeping it on his phone.

He sat down next to her and stared at the view, both views. Time blew by and before they knew, they had to go. 

"Can we do one thing?" 

"What's that?"

"Dance with me" She put his arms on her waist and her arms around his neck. They stayed in that same spot but Drake didn't mind. If Nicki wanted to dance and it make her feel better then he was happy to oblige. The two had been swaying to the sound of the ocean for a while, not wanting to make a sound.

"Thanks for dancing with me" Nicki smiled and created a distance between them. Drake smiled back and led the way back to his car.

"Thank you for tonight. It was one of the best dates I've been on" Nicki said as they walked to her front door.

"I'm just glad you had a good time, I liked it too. I know you would have preferred it if he was the one who did all that for you but I just wanted to see my best friend happy and not have her dress and effort go to waste"

"You forgot something"  Drake looked at her with a confused expression on his face, she tried to give him a hint but it didn't go through to him.

Nicki dramatically sighed. "After a date, the people who went on the date share a kiss"

"Yeah..."

"I want my kiss, a real one too" 

"Umm I don't know"

"Please, first my date fails to show up and now my best friend does not want to kiss me. The night is getting worse and worse. Single life is so sad and hard,"

"You've always been a drama queen. Fine"

"Fine as in yes?"

"Yes" She closed the space between them and stood on her tip-toes wrapping her arms around his neck. She leaned into him pulling him towards her as their lips touched. The kiss was not demanding or too forced. They kissed again but this time it was for longer. Their eyes slowly closed and Drake's arms took their place on Nicki's back.

When they pulled away, Drake missed the feeling of her being so close to him. Even though  their kiss did not last that long, he felt complete. 

Nicki looked at him with the same smile that had been on her face since the beach. "Thank you for the perfect date, Aubs"

"You're welcome"
