"I was thinking we end our time at The Estate with a bang," Jas suggested before leaning back and taking a swing off his beer as they all sat round the table whilst enjoying a game of poker.
"What did you have in mind?" Chubbs asked before increasing his bet and taking a swing of his own beer.
"Like an old school house party. You know getting everyone and anyone and just having a big ol' house party before we leave," he suggested and the others agreed with him. Drake just sat back sipping on his wine not really paying any of the conversation much mind.
"I think we should, let's do it this weekend. We can get invites going and just make it a massive OVO house party," Johnny pitched in as they all showed their decks and groaned being that 40 had won another round. "What'd you think boss man?"
They all looked towards Drake who just slowly diverted his attention from his phone, towards the many pairs of eyes looking at him, waiting for his response. "Sure. Why not," was all he offered before his stood with his glass of wine in hand and walked away from the table. They just observed him until they felt he was out of ears reach, Ryan being the first to pipe up.
"You think he's talking to her again? He's gone back to how he was last time this happened," He asked as he dealt out another hand.
"I mean I wouldn't be surprised, they've gotten really close again recently," Mark added and the others agreed.
"But isn't she with Nas or whatever?" Jas questioned. "I mean that's what I've heard but you know what they're like,"
"Yeah they have a funny way of doing things, for all we know they're probably together or talking at least but we won't know about that yet," 40 said before increasing his bet and again the other agreed. "Oh well, we better get sending these invites before boss man changes his mind"
"That's very true," Mark spoke up before they all showed their hand, 40 winning another round.
Drake on the other hand had moved on to take a phone call from the person they had suspected was occupying his attention. He now lay on his bed as they talked about their day and busy schedules that waited ahead.
"So what are you up to?" She asked. "It sounds very quiet, where are the others?"
"They're playing poker downstairs, I couldn't really be asked with the idea of them robbing me for my money," he said causing her to laugh.
"Remember the days we all used to play poker on the tour bus," she chuckled at the memory and he gave a small smile that she couldn't see.
"That was before we all got too busy for each other. No we're lucky to even get in the studio together." He sighed. "I miss those days,"
"We all do, I was saying to Wayne the other day that we should all come together more often. We always leave it so long before reconnecting,"
"Yeah." It went silent for a moment and he took that as his chance to ask. "Speaking of which the boys were just about to start planning a house party at the estate, does that sound like something you would attend?"
"Hmm..." she bit the inside of her lip as she thought. "Would you want me to attend?" She asked in response.
"I mean of course I would. I'd be even happier if it was just you." To anyone else his comment didn't hold much to it, but she knew exactly what he was getting at.
"And what's that supposed to mean Aubrey?"
"Nothing. It most likely won't make a difference what it's supposed to mean." The defeat in his voice was very evident.
