All Chapters of PROMISE ME, JAKE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

~Bobbie~“Okay, no peeking,” here goes Jake again, a blindfold taking away my sight.“Where are you taking me now, Jake? This is becoming a habit of yours,” I smiled, feeling his thumb on my lower lip.Glad that he took my car today, I would have peed myself if he made me wear the blindfold on his bike. God knows how I hate not knowing where I am.“Do you trust me?”I rolled my eyes even though he can’t see them. “Of course I do.” I mumbled giggling, “I have to meet with Jack later.”Jack decided it would be best if he takes the managerial position in the RestoBar. He’s such a big help in lifting loads the bus

~Bobbie~Most of our family and friends are present in the Bunker’s blessing. It surprised me to see media people covering the event because we just wanted an intimate start. All of us were a little on edge about this day. Well, except for Matt. He is as calm as a morning breeze, and I envy his demeanor right now.Jack guides the team. His kind and jolly attitude shows from time to time when he cracked a joke with the staff, removing the tension and pressure of our first night in operation.Candice is in her zone. She leads the serving staff like a pro, maybe; her working on BeanStew was not so bad at all. Mel helps Candice while Tina is on cashiering duties. The guys are behind the bar, mixing drinks, fooling around and here I was, not knowing where I should be.&

~Bobbie~Sleep was far from my grasp. I thought I could do it, but I am damn wrong. The night went by painstakingly slow. I am frightened to close my eyes, I tried, but all I could see and hear was his laughter. All those years that have gone by, I thought I already accepted his death.Thirteen years… and this wound in my chest is still fresh, as if everything just happened yesterday.My phone vibrated on the nightstand, I wiped my tears in haste. It’s the notification tone I set for Jake.I stared at my phone, sitting on the edge of my bed, battling with myself if I should answer his call or not. He’s been MIA since the Bunker’s opening. No calls, no message, no nothing, just pure silence.The call e

~Bobbie~Zach almost dropped me on the ground after he scooped me from my seat.“What the hell is your problem, Stone?!” I snarled, and he answered me with a very loud ‘shhhh’. He grabbed my hand as soon as Rover clicked locked and dragged me with him towards the warehouse.I withered like a snake to free my wrist from his hold, but Zach is taking none of my protest. My screams of profanities and curses filled the air, overpowering the waves from the ocean a few hundred meters away from this place.Zach pushed through the metal door of the building and the whiff of lavenders and lemons met my senses together with the sweet aroma of burgers and pizza.As we stepped inside, an ambiance that is rather a c

~Bobbie~“Bobbie... What happened?” Candice’s worried voice boomed beside me.“I don’t know, she just fell on her knees and started crying,” Michael explained. My eyes were closed, but the photo of me and my brother Brandon is still clear in my head. However, Nytcrwler got a hold of that picture is the last thing on my mind.“Should we take her to the hospital?” Mel held my hand, pressing it gently.I forced myself to get up and face the world. My best friend’s arms instantly engulfed me in a bone crushing embrace.“Bobbie!” Matt walked into the office, his chest expanding and deflating in a rapid pace. His blue eyes washed with alarm, finding me in my shaken s
