lost stars [AU. drake, camille, olivia & leo] [part one: coconut]

@jovialyouthmusic @sirbeepsalot @pug-bitch @moonlightgem7 @fromthedeskofpaisleybleakmore @dcbbw @katedrakeohd @be-still-my-aching-heart @pedudley @emceesynonymroll @iplaydrake @notoriouscs

So I started writing this a few days ago and I was going to hold off on posting but I’ve found that writing is a good distraction so here we go.

For new readers, this is an AU. In my usual fics, Drake and Camille (MC) are a couple but I thought I would switch this up for fun.

I’m aware that I’m setting Drake and Camille up to be potentially disliked. I know there’s a few people who love Olivia, so I’m not going to try and make this a total ‘Olivia is a victim’ fic.

As someone who’s parents divorced due to an affair, I don’t condone this sort of thing at all. This fic is going to be more of an emotional affair rather than physical, so it’ll be more in depth and less Drake and Camille sneaking around.

This will be a short series. Hope you enjoy.

Warnings: NSFW and angst. Not much fluff yet.

Double Date here if you want to read the fic that inspired this.

**************************************

Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? -Lost Stars, Adam Levine

Camille sat on the bed, knees up to her chest, chewing her bottom lip. Her mind was awash with worry and regret; she had kissed Leo’s friend Drake last night and she had been unable to stop thinking about it. Her night had been sleepless, she had tossed and turned while Leo snored gently beside her.

‘Hey beautiful!’ Leo said cheerily, coming into the bedroom after his shower. ‘You looked sound asleep when I woke up so thought I’d leave you be.’

Camille hadn’t been sound asleep; she had been wide awake but had kept her eyes closed when she heard Leo wake up. She didn’t want to face him just yet after kissing someone who wasn’t him.

Leo towel dried his blonde hair then turned to look at her. He rubbed the towel against his back, shaking his body at her, trying to look sexy/goofy at the same time. It worked. Camille smiled and Leo looked relieved that she was smiling at least.

He cast the towel down to the floor and strolled towards her, naked.

Camille’s eyes ran over his body. He was all golden; golden hair, golden skin. His shoulders were broad and his chest span wide. Years of hiking up mountains had defined his muscles and abs. He looked like he had stepped off the front cover of Men’s Health.

Despite kissing Drake last night, Camille still felt a stirring in her core as she watched him advance on her. Leo always managed to get her in the mood; it was one of his talents.

‘I think you’re wearing too much,’ he told her, raising an eyebrow at her thin negligee. Camille blushed and pulled it off. Leo studied her and pulled at her ankles, dragging her across the bed towards him. Still standing, he took her legs and wrapped them around his waist. His length was positioned at her entrance.

Gently, he guided himself into her and Camille let out a throaty gasp.

‘You like that, baby?’ Leo asked.

Camille nodded.

She closed her eyes.

Drake’s face flashed up in her mind.

As Leo proceeded to thrust into her, Camille focused on Drake’s image, keeping it close. She imagined him fucking her like this, dominant, controlled, sweat trickling down his chest. She imagined licking his chest.

While Leo moved inside her, Camille thought of Drake. And she liked it. When the orgasm ripped through her body, she still liked it.

*****************************************************************

Drake woke up in bed alone. Groaning, he dragged himself out and stumbled through to the open plan living room/kitchen where he could hear the TV and sounds coming from the kitchen.

Olivia was standing at the kitchen counter chopping bananas to add to her fruit box. She was dressed in LuluLemon gym gear, her leggings tight against her skin, showing the curve of her ass.

Drake moved towards her and kissed her neck. 'Morning babe.'

Olivia turned and kissed him on the cheek. 'Hey. Did you manage to get Leo home okay last night?'

Drake nodded. 'Yeah, he was hammered. No idea how Camille thought she could carry him up the stairs herself, he was useless.'

'Mm,' Olivia said. 'It was good of you to help her. So glad you don't get drunk like that anymore. God, poor Camille.'

'I think she can handle it,' Drake told her, helping himself to coffee. Olivia shrugged and added some blueberries to her box. 'She didn't seem happy with him last night. So obvious. Leo has no idea. We were talking outside and he just kept going on about how amazing she is, how she works too hard, blah blah blah.. Meanwhile, she's sat at the table with a sour expression on her face.'

'It's not really our business, Liv,' Drake told her. 'I'm sure they're fine.'

He knew for a fact that Leo and Camille were not fine. She had told him so herself, but he wasn't going to let Olivia know that.

'You both seemed cosy,' Olivia said casually, leaning against the counter. 'Chatting away when we came back from our cigarette break.'

Drake shrugged. 'We had to find some way to make conversation otherwise it would have been awkward.'

He cast his eyes away and focused on drinking his coffee. He ignored Olivia who kept her eyes on him, before she sighed. 'I'm off to kickboxing. See you tonight. Oh, remember you got an AA meeting on Wednesday night. It’s written on the calendar.’

Drake nodded. ‘I know babe. Thank you.’

She leaned up and kissed him deeply, catching Drake off guard. When they parted, she whispered, 'I love you, Drake.'

Drake smiled. 'I love you too.'

**********************************************

‘Good morning friend!’

Drake nearly knocked over his cup of coffee when Leo entered the office. Drake turned to him and Leo stopped.

‘Well, you look like shit.’

‘Thanks Leo. I always appreciate your support,’ Drake replied dryly. He rubbed his eyes. Leo was right though; Drake did look like shit. He hadn’t slept well last night and the chat with Olivia this morning had made him nervous.

Leo settled down opposite him and screwed a sheet of paper into a ball and threw it at him. Drake rolled his eyes. ‘You’re awfully chirpy today. More than usual.’

‘Let’s say I had a nice morning..’ Leo said, winking.

Drake knew what that meant. Clearly, Camille had ignored their kiss and gave Leo some morning sex. He tried to push down the jealousy he felt; Camille wasn’t his. Camille was with Leo and quite rightly, sleeping with him.

‘So you still up for coming to mine on Saturday? Drinks and watch the football?’ Leo asked.

‘Yeah, sure,’ Drake said, scrolling down his computer screen.

‘It was good to meet Olivia last night,’ Leo told him. ‘She’s a firecracker.’

‘Yeah, she’s something,’ Drake replied, despondent.

He loved Olivia, he did. When they had first got together, he loved how fierce she was, how she was independent and confident. She was so sexy. They had met at a bar. Drake had worked up the courage to talk to this tall, feline redhead wearing a black leather jacket and stiletto boots. ‘Hi, I’m Drake,’ he had said. Her eyes had roamed up and down his body before meeting his gaze. ‘I know you are,’ she smirked and Drake felt a flutter in his stomach.

Her response had been a good line. Now, whenever they flirted, she would say it and Drake would pull her into him, kissing her neck, wanting more of her.

‘Yo, Drake. Drake!’

Drake blinked to see Leo snapping his fingers at him. ‘Sorry, I’m not with it this morning.’

‘You better be. Kiara wants to see us.’

‘Aw man, really?’ Drake groaned. Leo sighed and stood up. ‘I know she’s the mega bitch boss from hell,’ Leo said, ‘but just think about what she’s wearing underneath her power suit.’

************************************************

That Saturday, Drake arrived at Leo's carrying a box of beer. Leo brought him through to the living room where the football was on the TV and a bowl of nachos wad sat on the coffee table.

The two men settled down on the sofa, digging into the box of beer. 'So how's Olivia?' Leo asked. Drake was about to respond when he was interrupted.

'Leo, can you please stop using my body wash, I've had to use yours and now I smell of charcoal -'

Drake looked over his shoulder to see Camille standing by the door wrapped in a fluffy white towel. Her hair was damp from the shower and her shoulders gleamed from the water. Her eyes caught his and she blushed, tightening the towel around her more. Drake reddened.

'But I like smelling of coconut!' Leo protested. Camille sighed. 'So do I!'

Drake cleared his throat and drank another sip of beer. Camille padded across the floor and reached out for a bottle. 'Hey Drake,' she greeted him as she leaned down. Drake averted his eyes. She may smell of charcoal but she was centimeters away from him wearing only a towel.

'Where are you heading tonight with Hana?' Leo asked.

'Geisha Bar,' she told him. 'You guys are more than welcome to join us later if you want?'

Leo looked at Drake. 'Up for it?'

Drake shrugged, non-committal. 'Yeah, sure.'

Camille smiled and went to leave the room. Leo stood up quickly and took her by the arm. 'Hey,' he said softly. 'Sorry about the body wash.'

He leaned down and kissed her, cupping the back of her head with his hand. Drake kept his eyes studiously on the TV.

Stop it. You're being a dick and a first class creep. You have a girlfriend who you love. Think about Olivia in a towel.

Leo flopped down on the sofa beside Drake and grinned at him. 'Right, football time!'

**********************************************

Camille hadn't meant to walk out in front of Drake wearing only a towel. She hadn't heard the door buzz, so when she came into the living room ranting about stupid shower gel, she hadn't expected to see Drake sat on her sofa, his eyes staring at her towel clad body and his face slowly turning scarlet.

She had gone through to the bedroom and began to get dressed, thinking about Drake while he sat watching football in the other room.

Camille didn't know Drake though. She knew that. They had gotten on well on the double date and had kissed, quite passionately really, but she didn't know him.

Sure, talking to Drake one on one had been refreshing. For the first time in weeks, she felt like she had been listened to and understood. He had been interested in what she had to say. From their conversation, she knew he felt like she did. Like he was letting down his girlfriend, much like Camille felt she always let down Leo. She knew that Drake shared her insecurities.

But he had a girlfriend. That was all she actually needed to know.

Camille also had Leo.

She had been thinking about breaking up with him for some time but she could never work up the courage to do it. He was always so happy and easygoing and his smile was always so genuine. How could she make him unhappy because of her?

**********************************************

Drake and Leo ended up at Geisha Bar. Leo texted Camille to find out where in the club she was with Hana.

The music was pulsing and the club glowed under the pink and purple lights. It was packed. Drake wasn't keen on clubs usually- he always felt awkward dancing, the music wasn't his taste and the drinks were overpriced. Give him a dive bar any day.

He spotted Camille and Hana dancing together, holding each others hands in the air and singing along. Drake watched Camille swing her hips as she danced, her bodycon dress hugging her slender figure. Leo pulled her into a cuddle then gave Hana a kiss on the cheek. Drake raised his hand in greeting. 'I'm going to get a drink,' he shouted over the music.

He began to make his way to the bar. He waited to catch the bartenders attention when he felt someone tug his elbow. He turned and came face to face with Camille.

'What do you want to drink?' he asked her. She leaned up so he could hear her. 'Martini please!'

Drake ordered the drinks then turned back to her. 'Do you smell.. Charcoal?' he asked, pretending to look confused. Camille rolled her eyes. 'Ugh I was a bitch to him, wasn't I?'

Drake chuckled. 'Coconut does smell better than charcoal to be fair. You were within your rights. But hey, mens shower gel sets you up for the day.'

'I do feel ready to tackle mountains and exert my masculine energy,' Camille quipped. Drake smiled to himself then handed her her drink.

Her eyes met his over the rim of her glass. Drake found he couldn't tear his gaze away. There was something about this woman that made his breath catch. The way her eyes bore into his, intense, was enough to make him want to always have her attention. The way her mouth quirked up at the corner so it looked like she was always smiling made him want to lean closer. When she reached up to tuck a lock of her dark hair behind her ear, Drake wanted to reach out and take her hand.

Stop it.

Camille couldn't stop watching him. He was all dark, cast in shadow. Something about him pulled her in and wouldn't let her go. As she took another sip of her drink, she watched as Drake bit his lower lip. He ran a hand through his hair and Camille felt a stirring in her core. An ache that needed healed. A heat that needed cooled.

Stop it.

They were interrupted by a man tapping Camille on the shoulder. 'Hey babe,' he said. 'Can I get you a drink?'

Camille shook her head. 'I've already got one,' she told him, raising her glass, 'but thank you anyway.'

She turned back to Drake and smiled at him. 'So how was the football?' she asked him. 'Really good!' Drake said. 'It wasn't the Texans playing so I could just relax and enjoy without screaming at the TV.'

'Of course you support the Texans!' Camille laughed. Drake grinned. 'Lone Star state, Camille.'

'I've actually got tickets to see the Giants play next month,' Camille told him. Drake stared at her. 'You watch football?'

Camille winked at him. 'Die hard fan.'

'Um, excuse me, but I actually do think I should buy you a drink.'

It was the random man again. Drake looked at him. He was tall, blonde, preppy. Looked like he had the name Nate. Looked like he had an ivy league education and shit dollar bills into a gold plated toilet. He was wearing chinos.

Drake hated chinos.

'I told you, I've got one,' Camille replied.

'Not one from me,' Chino Guy responded arrogantly. 'Come on, you're beautiful, let me buy you a drink.'

'I don't want you to waste your money,' Camille said, staring at him. Chino Guy laughed. 'Babe, I work on Wall Street, I can afford drinks for everyone in this bar.'

Drake wrinkled his nose. Chino Guy was a bragger.

'Then I don't want you to waste your precious time,' Camille told him coldly. Her patience was wearing thin.

'Look, babe -'

'Stop calling me babe,' Camille interrupted, an edge to her voice.

Chino Guy smirked. 'Fine but only if you let me buy you a drink.'

Drake saw Camille clenching the bar and knew this was enough. He stepped forward. 'Can you just stop calling her babe and trying to force her to have a drink? She clearly doesn't want to.'

Chino Guy stared at Drake. 'How about you mind your own fucking business?'

'She's with me,' Drake told him, drawing himself up to his full height of 6 foot 4 inches.

'Bullshit,' Chino Guy spat. Drake drew closer to Camille, placing his hand on her lower back. 'Dude, abandon the possessive thing. It's not attractive. She's told you numerous times that she doesn't want a drink.'

Chino Guy moved closer to Drake, pushing Camille to the side. Drake's eyes flashed. 'Don't you touch her.'

'Drake, its okay,' Camille said quietly. 'Let's just go.'

Chino Guy pulled at her elbow. 'No babe, I think we should get to know each other, clear up this misunderstanding!' Chino Guy protested. Camille shook her head. 'Please just leave us alone.'

Chino Guy stared at her. 'Fine. Arrogant bitch -'

Drake's fist connected with his face. Camille screamed and Chino Guy fell to the floor. Everyone around them at the bar turned to stare. 'Fucking apologise to her,' Drake ground out, leaning down so Chino Guy could hear.

Chino Guy stood up shakily. His eye bore into Drake's. 'Don't fucking touch me again.' He shoved Drake in the chest.

'Guys, please just stop,' Camille begged. She grabbed Drake's arm when she saw him about to land another punch and looked up at him, her eyes wide. 'Drake, he isn't worth it. Please.'

Drake's eyes flicked from Chino Guy to Camille. 'Fine, Camille. I'm sorry.'

Chino Guy smirked. 'What a pussy.' He lunged forward and caught Drake in the jaw. The people around them gasped and Camille caught Drake before he could fall to the ground.

'Camille? Drake!'

Leo and Hana had found them. Leo's eyes were wide when he took in the scene and he looked at Chino Guy. 'Why the fuck are you hitting my friend?'

Chino Guy smirked. 'He deserved it.'

Leo looked at Camille and drew her in close. 'Are you okay sweetie?

Chino Guy looked from Drake to Camille to Leo.

'Hold up. She's your girlfriend?'

Leo nodded. 'Yeah. Can you kindly fuck off?'

Chino Guy laughed harshly and pointed at Drake. 'This guy - your friend - likes your girlfriend. I'd be careful if I were you.'

Glaring at Drake and Camille, he turned and sloped off. Leo wrapped his arm around Camille and looked at Drake. 'You okay man?'

'Yeah, I'm fine,' Drake assured him, 'It was just a suckerpunch.'

'What even happened?' Hana asked, her eyes wide.

'He kept hassling Camille,' Drake told her simply. Leo sighed. 'Thanks for sticking up for her, Drake.'

Drake smiled weakly. 'She could hold her own, I was just in her corner.'

He kept his eyes away from Camille, who was watching him nervously. Leo hadn't mentioned the comment Chino Guy had made about Drake liking Leo's girlfriend. Maybe he had forgotten or just brushed it off.

But Camille had heard.

*************************************

Drake got home at 2am. He felt grubby and achy so decided to have a quick shower to freshen up. As the water ran down his body, he thought back to the events of the night.

As he shampooed his hair, his eyes caught a glimpse of his bath towel hanging up.

Camille in a towel.

Drake felt himself instantly turn hard.

He tried to ignore it. He needed to. He had a girlfriend. He loved his girlfriend. But the thought of Camille in a towel, her hair damp, her shoulders glistening from the water..

Before Drake realised what he was doing, he had wrapped his hand around his length and began to pump hard. Closing his eyes, he focused on her face in his mind.

‘Are you getting off in the shower?’

Drake jumped and opened his eyes to see Olivia standing in the bathroom, staring at him. ‘Uhh...’

Smirking, she pulled her negligee off and slid her thong down to the ground. Drake stared at his naked girlfriend who slunk towards him. She joined him under the water and replaced his hand with hers. She began to slide her hand along him.

‘Who were you thinking about?’ she purred.

‘You,’ Drake croaked out. Olivia pumped harder and Drake groaned. He studied her face. He had to replace the image of Camille. His eyes roamed Olivia’s body, which resembled alabaster stone. His eyes explored her breasts, her hips, her tiny waist. She was beautiful. Drake leaned down to kiss her and Olivia reciprocated, her tongue twisting around his.

Drake reached down to pick her up. Olivia wrapped her legs around him and he pushed her up against the wet tile. ‘Liv..’ he murmured, his mouth finding her breasts. Olivia leaned her head against the tile and gasped as he entered her.

‘Fuck me hard, Drake,’ she whispered.

‘I was going to.’

‘Do it now.’

Drake proceeded to drive into her, feeling her tighten around him. Olivia’s fingernails raked against his back, drawing blood. Drake didn’t care. He wanted to feel something. He wanted to feel her. Anything to get thoughts of Camille out of his head.

‘Harder,’ she groaned.

Drake’s movements became deeper. He could feel every inch of Olivia.

This was how it was supposed to be.

‘Tell me you want me,’ she ordered.

‘I want you.’

‘Tell me I’m the only one for you.’

‘You’re the only one for me.’

Some Last-Minute Thoughts on Trips and Tours

While it's actual that most visits can be composed yourself, by organizing your own vehicle and paying on the entryway, Bangkok can be a bad dream to get around in movement, which means you may be late for your action, or undoubtedly get lost on account of a deceitful tuk driver hoping to make a greater toll by taking you on a joyful drive around the city. It happens.

Moreover, a large number of these visits get reserved rapidly in the high-season months. It's likewise a major bother to sort out these things from your lavish lodging when should appreciate an unwinding occasion.

What I like best about composed excursions is meeting individuals. Having voyage all around SE Asia, I found that sorting out my own journeys regularly left me separated and without individuals to meet and appreciate the involvement with.

Despite the fact that being driven around by a guide can be a touch of attempting now and again, life is constantly better shared. What's more, I've met some marvelous individuals on day trips and truly lived it up as a result of it.

So for an additional couple of Euros, Dollars or Pounds, having the outing booked ahead of time, getting got and having everything laid out for you on a celebrity main street, in a manner of speaking, is a more dependable, pleasant approach to see the city, especially in case you're 35+ like me and can't do with gallivanting around in the heating sun requesting headings.
