Chapter Eight

2:11 p.m.

Drake wanted to give his mother a surprise visit, considering it’d been a while since she’d last checked in on him at the hospital. And while he was in the hospital, recovering from first and second degree burns for those two weeks, his mother had remained at his side. The problem Drake had with getting around was that he hadn’t any means of transportation to call his own. Well, his wife’s car was available on weekends and on Sunday when they drove to church, but during the week, Sasha took the car to work, leaving him stranded in Hunter’s guesthouse.

And Drake was okay with the arrangement, because he used those quiet times to meditate on the Holy Scriptures anyway. It was only during times when he really needed to get out of the house that he’d felt as if his hands were tied. There was no one else for him to call. Well, maybe there was, but did he dare invite trouble back into his life? Drake reached for his cell phone despite his reservation and punched in the number of his former best friend. Indeed, Levi Johnson spelt all of kinds of trouble, but Drake was willing to believe that his past friendship with Levi that spanned over twelve years had not all been based on lies and deception. Surely, there was still some shred of humanity left between them.

“Yasmine?” Levi had picked up on the first ring, his voice heavy with anxiety.

Drake was confused and for a second he thought he’d dialed the wrong number. Why would Levi be asking for Yasmine in the first place, knowing the treacherous nature of the beast? But then again, Drake thought, both of them were cut from the same material. Yasmine had falsely accused him of rape and Levi had tried to steal his wife from under his nose. Drake couldn’t say which one was worse. In any event, he had forgiven them, though at times it was hard to forget what they did to him.

“Sorry to disappoint you, Levi,” Drake said. “This isn’t Yasmine. My number should have showed up on your caller ID.”

Levi was genuinely shocked to hear his friend’s voice, even though he had to take a second look at the screen to make sure. “Drake? What’s up, man? I never imagined you calling me ever again. That’s probably why I didn’t pay any attention to the number.”

“I almost didn’t call,” Drake said. “But it’s been almost two months since I last saw you and a lot has happened in that time. In fact, I almost lost my life in a fire.”

“I’d heard…and I would have come to the hospital to see you, man, but I wasn’t sure how my presence would have been received. But I’m relieved to know you’re ok. I still love you, man.”

Drake allowed Levi’s words to sink in for a second before he responded.
