All Chapters of PROMISE ME, JAKE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~Jake~There were many sleepless nights in my life, but tonight was not because of my nightmares. It’s because I have Bobbie in my arms, sleeping peacefully after she gave herself to me. I’ve had my fair share of one-night stands, crazy wild meaningless hookups, last night was different. It was perfect, special, and memorable. I made love to the girl who has a permanent place in my heart.Raven hair shadowed over the pillow. The scent of our bodies still lingers in the sheets that once cradled both our bodies burned by desire. Her heart-shaped lips slightly parted, the lower is a bit fuller than the upper, soft audible snores music of peace to my ears. The light brown freckles on top of her nose only added to her naturally gorgeous features. I wanted to see her deep turquoise orbs, such expressive eyes hiding behind her closed eyelids, long lashes t

~Jake~Bobbie informed us they’ll stay at the beach for a while with Candice. She sounded distressed, and I was getting worried. Candice had always been a straight A’s student since freshman. She’s a transfer student who became instantly close to Bobbie. It was hard to grasp that she’s not eager to talk about college when she was ranting all about it since the first day of senior year.We were now in the mansion, trying to relax and ease our worries, clouding the group before heading out to the party. At five in the afternoon, the three of them finally walked in and they all had puffy bloodshot eyes.Dead silence was canvassing the living room, and no one wanted to ask what happened until Cole.“You okay, Love?” he approached Candice a

~Bobbie~Matt and I are having dinner over the West’s residence, and the food is amazing. Esther, Mayor Austin, and Matt are talking about the stocks and bonds which I didn’t understand at all. Why would you want to buy stocks and bonds if you’re not sure to earn money? You’ll let it depend on the economy.“What’s the matter, Bobbie?” Jack asked. He sits across from me, Tina sits beside him.She is awfully silent tonight; I need her witty comments to keep Candice’s situation out of my mind.“I was just wondering why that shop, BeanStew, is still running,” I whispered, taking a spoonful of my red snapper with veggies.“The coffee shop near your school?” Ja

~Bobbie~Something was on my mind since dinner at the West residence. Tina said that Bean Stew gives donations to the community with every sale. If a shop with blunt foods like that is still operational, why not create a store that serves wonderful food, ambiance and service?I’ve been researching since then about business, and some things were a puzzle to me. Some articles of successful businessmen and women mentioned that they failed once or twice with their business before they succeeded.Failure is not an option, this is the very first idea where I outsmarted that little smartass Candice.Jake caged me with his arms on both sides of me. Taunting me like the tease of a beast.I blinked my eyes. I am caught red-handed

~Jake~Bobbie looks exhausted, that’s why I took her out of town for the weekend. Away from the shop, school, and from the project. She’s worked harder than anyone on this business venture, but she hasn’t complained or whined. I’m glad that Jack was willing to take charge of everything, and if this goes well, we found ourselves a business management graduate manager. Mom was helping me persuade Jack to stay in town for good.“Are we there yet?” Bobbie yawned for the nth time, I’m really mad at her for not asking for my help.She gives a hundred percent if not more to anything she wanted and sometimes, even on the brink of exhausting her body. Like she did on cheerleading. She went to the hospital more than my fingers on my hand can count, but she never gave up until she reac
