Engaged To A Country Bad Boy

Chapter Fourteen

Brantley’s Point Of View: . (The part where he talks to Jake)

I felt like a total dick for calling out on Jake but it had to be done. While the rest fussed over Bambi, I had him follow me down to the second floor. At the kitchen, we both lit up a stick and smoked in silence for a few seconds.

"You like her." It wasn't a question. Jake did not even deny it instantly. It was clear on his face.

"I do." He admitted. That's the thing about Jake, he never lies and especially not to his friends. His admission hurt, I had to be honest. One of my best friends liking the girl I am about to marry?

"Do you remember the night you were giving us the news about how you were going to be arranged with a girl?" I merely nodded. He took a drag out of his cigarette and blew it out. I waited and listened. "I left to get us more cigarettes. And do you remember me coming back and telling you, I saw this really beautiful girl but I knew she was too good for the likes of a guy like me so I didn't do anything?"

I remembered it now. Jake had come back, looking regretful. When we had asked, he had mentioned bumping into what he think would be his perfect girl but she seemed too good, too innocent for him. Jake's past was tainted, a secret that only the three of us and Ben knew.

"The girl was Skye ." I stated.

"I bumped into her then. She was buying ice-cream and making conversation, she told me she was having a bad night. I was guessing that was the night she found out about you too. When I saw her smile.." Jake sighed. "I like her probably because of the same reasons you do but she's yours and you deserve her. I don't and we are best friends, brothers even. I won't do anything to hurt you." He added firmly.

"Jake.. I am sorry." I didn't know why but I felt apologetic.

"Whatever for?" He chuckled. "She was yours from the beginning. I am just glad I didn't fuck things up by flirting with her that night. It would have made things a whole lot worse. She loves you, you love her and that's it. And she's a way better chick compared to Jana ." He confirmed.

"Damn right she is." I muttered.

"I should be apologizing B, for acting like a weird fuck around your girl. I was, hell I am attracted to her I won't lie to you. But I didn't plan on doing anything and I won't ever."

I knew Jake meant his words. It relieved me of course because it would have hurt to hate one of my closest friends because of Bambi. "It's fine. I trust you Jake. We're cool."

He grinned at me and nodded. "But let me tell you this, if you fuck things up with Skye .. I will take her away. She's a great girl and I bet even Jeremy or Danny thinks the same way. She's one of us now." I took his threat seriously but I love how he has accepted Bambi as a part of us now.

"I will never hurt her." Although I meant my words but I knew there was a possibility of me hurting Bambi tonight. I have yet to tell her I was heading over to Jana's apartment. I was going to end it once and for all. The sooner I got it over with, the faster I could just be happy with Bambi.

I was fucking glad the dinner went well. My grandfather was happy, well, why won't he? He was the mastermind of this plan and it worked totally in his favor. Bambi's parents were elated and gave me their blessings. I swore to them I would take care of their daughter. We were all chatting happily, discussing wedding plans already. My grandfather has offered to pay for the entire event, well I refused. It was my wedding and I wanted to do something for Bambi.

I glanced at my watch. It was 9 pm. Simone had called me earlier to remind me of my promise and that was what fucked my mood up. Honestly, I didn't want to leave Bambi at all. Not when she looked so fucking beautiful in that red dress of hers and fuck me shoes. I was seriously loving the clothes she has been wearing lately, courtesy of Ben's advice and my credit card but it was fine by me. I didn't care if she spent my money. In fact, I loved it. I could only imagine what was underneath the dress. I wanted to get Bambi home and peel it off her. We weren't going to have sex yet since I had a strong feeling Bambi would love to wait for our wedding night. Actually I didn't mind waiting too, it seemed more special and that way she would really be claimed as mine. But I was sure she would be fine with me just using my mouth and fingers. Fuck! That thought alone is enough to make me hard.
