~Bobbie~
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Zach asked for the hundredth time.
“Yeah,” we had to cut short our date because of my panic attack.
I gaze at my house, it’s still dark and I guess Matt hasn’t come home yet from his date with Mel.
I hate seeing the look on Zach’s face, as if he’s guilty of something.
“Look, Bobbie-” Zach began, but I cut him off.
“Zach, it’s not your fault.” I looked at him apologetically. Part of me wishes to explain to him these confusing thoughts that are clouding my head, but how can I when I don’t even have any idea what’s happening to me. “When I was in
~Bobbie~“Oh, Bobbie…” he was trembling just like me. Soft drop of water fell on my head as he continued to rub my back up and down. “To paidí mou.” (My child)“Papa, I’m sorry for taking too long,” I sobbed, regretting that I hesitated for so long. If only I had known that his love was so warm, if only I had the strength to accept that I was his daughter.“I understand, you’re here now. That’s all that matters.” I stayed in his arms for a long while. All I could remember was his loving words. How he missed me, how long he wanted to come to find me.~~The three of us sat comfortably on the outdoor couch. They both sandwiched me in their warmth an
~Bobbie~Even at work, there was no escaping Jake’s torturous sucking escapade. Right now, he’s kissing Priya by the bar, the sight making me want to gag out all my meals for the day.I’m terribly lost with his plan, or did he have any plans at all… did he say those words to me that night just to give me false hope? The thought that it was part of Priya’s plan to make my life miserable crossed my mind a few times. I’m just too tired to believe anything anymore.‘Focus Bobbie,’ I forced myself to continue wiping the black marbled counter even if I could already see the glass rack above me as well as my reflection.‘God, stop frowning!’ I mentally scolded myself and put on my poker face.
This is Zach's song ;) hope you like it... ~~ It was raining in California,A rare day in Santa Barbara,That’s when I laid eyes on her,Her smile, it was damn mesmerizing.No… she wasn’t looking at me,Never spared me even a glance,Hm, it didn’t stop me from falling though. I admired her from a distance,Don’t tell me I’m dumb, I know it,Coz then, she was holding someone else’s hand,Still, I didn’t stop admiring her… just from afar.Then, she cried, he broke her heart,I wish I can tell her to love me instead,Her beautiful smile, I want to see it again. Choose me instead, oh, love me instead,I’m here, always waiting,I’ll never get tired,take however long you need,With you, I’m in love,No matter how stupid it may sound,Smile for me, my jade eyed raven. ~~
~Jake~ Zach had never been a threat to me, not before he made these bold moves to get Bobbie’s attention. I can’t do anything other than watch her from a distance. Because of my cheating father, I’m left with the task of keeping our family together. I had to push Bobbie away because Priya is getting more and more suspicious, and Zach was taking this time to lure her into his arms. I’m afraid that Bobbie might fall for him. He’s right for her, and that’s what scares me. The glimmer in Bobbie’s eyes while she watched Zach perform the song he wrote for her crushed my heart. I had prepared myself for losing her in this game, but not this early. At this rate, she’ll move on without knowing why I did what I did. I had been watching her room from a distance since Valentine’
~Bobbie~Entangled with Zach’s figure in my bed, sleep never came, even with the comfort of having him beside me. It’s four in the morning, the dawn is nearly breaking. I’m not yet ready to face the world.The soft snores coming from the boy who allowed me to drench his tee with my tears are the only sound I wanted to focus on. Like the way his breath fans my skin. He made it a habit to snuggle his nose on the junction of my neck and shoulder, knowing that particular spot sends goosebumps through my entire body. I poured all my attention to him, my emotions - anger, frustration, heartbreak. It’s wrong… I know that; Zach knows it, that I could never be his until I move on from Jake. Yet he’s here - he was always here.Carefully, I detangled from his huge figure and changed into my
~Bobbie~ We were in my room and Zach was singing his new song that will soon be heard on the radio because the label loved it. It was a song about this girl he loves, but they can’t be together because she’s still caught up with her previous lover. Sounds familiar, I know. “That was nice,” I said after he finished singing. “Nice?” his brows arched in a challenging note. “That’s all I get from you?” I nodded, and he placed down his guitar, a knowing smirk tearing from his lips. “Tell me, Barbara, doesn’t my voice turn you on?” I shook my head. His hands reached for my shoulders. I scooted back until the headboard prevented me from going further away. “Zach... stop it,” I warned, but that only made him move quicker. He was

READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.~Bobbie~I needed a girl’s night, at least that was the idea when my friends convinced me to have a sleepover at my place after work.Tina sprawled herself over my bed while Mel and Candice fought like kids over the movie we would be watching. I saved myself from danger by laying on my stomach beside Tina, away from the two toddlers fighting, browsing her social media account. A picture took my interest, and I asked her to let me see it. I haven’t gone online in a long while and it surprised me to see that Zach’s profile was a picture of the two of us. The one on Valentine’s Day as we danced, almost hugging e
~Zach~ My phone won’t stop buzzing. I mentally cursed the person who woke me up from my deep slumber. It’s fucking three in the morning and I have a class at eight. Groping for the annoying device on the nightstand, I answered without checking the ID. “This better be fucking good,” I groaned as I let my annoyance out on the person on the other line. This happens to me all the time. It always ends up in a prank by my bandmates. There was one time when Josh, a childhood friend of mine, called me while he was fucking some random chick by the beach. Still, the thought that it could be something important didn’t slip my mind every time I got a call in the middle of my sleep. I never knew that it was this call - the one that drained every ounce of blood in my body.
~blurb~ I, Zia Walker, take you, Xavier Luciano, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I will honor you all the days of my life. And above all, I vow not to fall for you. ~~ Trapped with the responsibility to my family, fate forced me to marry Xavier Luciano. He was the perfect solution to my problems, but there was only one condition he asked before promising me his ‘I do.’ “Don’t fall for me,” was his unbreakable rule. I laughed at him that day, thinking how easy it is to follow his stupid rule. I’m in love with my ex-fiance, his younger brother Calvin, so what could possibly go wrong? I agreed without hesitation, seeing him as the ticket out of my life’s predicament. Like a raging wave, the realization of my vow’s weight crashed on me.
~Bobbie~ ~Last night~ “I’m Adonis, and I’ll make you happy, Athena.” “Sorry, Bobbie,” Mel muttered beside me. “I can’t do this thing alone.” “It’s your bachelorette party, Mel,” I groaned and shivered when I felt a calloused hand grazing my knee. “You’ll be sorry for this later, Melissa,” I hissed, and again, the hands drew circles on my inner thigh, rising higher and higher. Mel was moaning beside me, and I could hear the girls giggling and laughing gingerly. Those same hands now held both of mine and guided it somewhere in front of me. My hands came against a warm solid skin - very toned skin must be his chest. He guided my hands down to his abs, and he has a good pack, 8 packs I counted. “Oh G
~Bobbie~ The girls were ready to go out, and so were the boys. We walked out of Mel’s room and found them already drinking and fooling around. These men cleaned up well, but my eyes were fixed on Jake, at least when he wasn’t looking at me. He was wearing a simple polo and fitted jeans, and I think they plan to go clubbing as well. “Bobbie,” I stiffened when I heard Jake’s voice so close to me. He sounded as if he already had too much to drink. With his hand gripping my arm, he dragged me to the patio, away from our friends. “What?” I snarled, hauling my arm from his grip. I’m still pissed about seeing him with Elise. My eyes locked with his but the look on his hues rendered me speechless. I was wearing a red cocktail sp
This scene would be an alternate reality if that rooftop episode didn’t happen. ;) ~Bobbie~ I kept punching and kicking until memories of Jake and that blond were out of my head. They look so cozy. “Poor dummy,” Priya’s voice brought me out of trance. I rolled my eyes. “I wish I don’t have feelings like this punching bag.” She takes a seat on the wooden chair while sipping her coffee. I’m in their place outside of town, and I didn’t realize that I’d confined to her. She once made it her life’s mission to make my life miserable, but here we are now. She listened to my story of weakness and stupidity. “You clearly both have feelings for each other. What’s holding you back, Bob
~Jake~ I told myself not to cry. I told myself crying makes me weak, and the fact that my friends teased me that entire day, saying that I was a crybaby, annoyed me to hell. I couldn’t help it. She was damn beautiful that day. I found it hard to believe how lucky I am to be waiting for her at the altar. The moment she entered the church holding Damien’s arm, wearing the dress as white as snow, it made her tanned skin stand out. That day is still vivid in my head. How that strapless gown hugged her upper body down to her waist as the skirt flowed while she walked to where I waited. It’s a magical moment. The images of us together slipped into my head like a fast-forward play of a movie. “Dad!” The sound of little balls of energy running down the stairs of our house pu
~Bobbie~ There are still people who believe in destiny. Some might find it funny and childish. I, for one and for a long time, forgot how much happiness believing in destiny brings. ~~ I remember when I first met Jake. That annoying boy who took amusement in watching me run away from that little beast in Nonna’s garden. It’s payback time. I’ve been suppressing the fit of giggle that wanted to erupt from my tummy just by looking at Jake’s paling cheeks. He’s been chewing on his lips since the plane took off. His glove-covered, slender fingers clutched mine so tight that I could feel my veins losing blood. Dressed in a blue and white freefly jumpsuit, Jake and I sat on the Ces
~Bobbie~“You’re blushing,” Damon commented while we swayed to the tune of Better Together by Jack Johnson.“No,” I denied.My brother, looking gorgeous in his custom-made gray suit and light blue dress shirt, chuckled heartily. My eyes narrowed to slits, gripping his hand tightly as we kept swaying through the song. There was something in his green eyes that gave me chills.“Damon,” I warned, “I know that look.”He brushed my threat off. “What look?”I huffed, “whatever you’re planning, stop it. This is a wedding.”Whenever he’d do something that
~Jake~The wedding was beautiful, but my eyes were fixed on Bobbie and not on the groom and bride. She never fails to enchant me with her beauty. She was wearing a simple light blue gown, matching the dress shirt I was wearing, the same theme with the entire entourage. It only differs in the shade.The pleated sleeveless dress, with the keyhole neckline, is teasing me with the little skin she’s flaunting. A part of her cleavage is showing, and I longed to run my fingers and lips over her creamy soft skin while watching her squirm under me.Damn. I’ve never wanted anyone as much as I wanted her. The way my dress pants tightened is proof of that.The ceremony was peaceful and filled with love and happiness for the newlyweds. To make this wedding much more intim
~Bobbie~Our friends were dead serious about locking Jake and me out here until morning. I don’t mind though. There was enough firewood to keep us warm through the night and there was another set of an actual tent with sleeping bags for our disposal.They prepared a lot of food for us as well. How thoughtful was that? I mentally laughed at their support for our love. There was even a note that said, ‘you two are not allowed inside the house in the morning unless you un-break your break up.’I have no doubt that this was Mel and Candice’s idea. They’re the only ones bold enough to get on my bad side this way. They knew I would never hate them, though.Jake and I got rid of the satin tent and its sparkling romantic lights, put up the tent we w
