Jake Oliver,
a typical guy, never expected to fall in love with his best friend’s girl. Jake
learned to love her from a far, he watched her constantly and supported her
endlessly.
Trish Wilson
thought she found the love of her life in Dylan, until tragedy struck and fate
decided for her when Dylan died in Afghanistan. Will she survive and get over
her fear to love again? Will she find her one? Will her heart ever truly heal?
The tragedy
that caused them great sadness also brought them together. Jake’s love for
Trish gave her the strength to overcome her fear to love again, while Trish’s
love pushed Jake past his guilt. However, when your soul mate’s life is at
stake, will they fold in fear or stand their ground? Will they fight to live or
prepare to give up? Will they allow fear to break them or will they let love
make them UNBREAKABLE.
“Though one may be overpowered by another, two
can withstand him.
And a
threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12

Jake
The
moment I lay my eyes on her, I know….I know she is my one. Her expressive eyes captivate my own, imprisoning my thoughts.
Her angelic face shines like a beacon calling to me, and my heart is helpless
to stop it. It answers its call only to be denied, swiftly. I never thought I’d
experience the feeling most pussy men feel of ‘their world stopping’ when they
see their soul mate, or whatever the hell they call it. My world definitely
stopped…it stopped and fucking shattered to pieces since there is no way in
hell it would ever happen because she’s taken. Not by just anyone…she’s with my
best friend. What does that make me? I’ve been asking myself that since she got
here. So, I suck it up and remain quiet, I stay away from her and try to blend
in, until Dylan calls me.
“Jake,
come here! I’d like you to meet Trish.” Dylan yells. There is no way I can
avoid this.
I
give Dylan a chin nod. “Hey, man. What’s up?”
“Jake,
this is my precious Trish. Honey, my best friend Jake.”
She’s
even more breath taking up close. She’s so petite with her long, silky, brown
hair and expressive eyes that seem to see through me. Her flawless, delicate
skin seems to glow against Dylan’s tanned arms, her kissable lips stretch into
a magnificent smile that lights up my world and breaks my world, all at the
same time.
“Hi,
Trish.” I’m dying to hug her, but seeing my best friend’s smiling face full of
pride stops me. I extend my hand, regretfully, settling for a hand shake.
Dylan
releases her, and as she grabs my hand, the moment her skin touches mine, heat
travels from my fingertips straight to my heart and shoots its way fast and
hard to my dick. I can’t control myself; I pull her in for a hug. Against all
logical reason, and against all odds, four words leave my mouth.
I
whisper in her ear. “You are so beautiful.”
She
rewards me with yet another heart stopping smile. I can’t look away, even when
she does. She’s back in Dylan’s arms, and my heart aches. Brian nudges me and
signals for me to go around back. We both excuse ourselves, and for the first
time since Trish got here, I’m able to breathe properly.
Brian
doesn’t waste time and confronts me right away. Obviously, he wants to nip this
in the bud.
“What
was that about, Jake?” His accusatory tone puts me in a defensive mode.
“What’s
what?” I act as though I don’t know what he’s talking about. Fear slowly works
its way up my body, straight to my stupid brain. If Brian noticed, did anyone
else?
“Don’t
mess with me. I saw the look you gave Trish. Don’t, Jake. Do not cross that
line.” His eyes not leaving mine, his tone low interlaced with a warning.
I
scrub my face with my hand. “Don’t you think I know? It’s just a stupid crush,
alright? I’m sure a good fuck would fix it.”
I
start laughing, while looking at Brian. I need to deflect this situation ASAP.
“You
shouldn’t really talk, dude. You’ve been eyeing my sister, and not once have I
stopped you, asshole!”
Brian
told me a couple of months ago he wanted to date my sister, but he refused to
make the move, only because he doesn’t want to mess with our friendship. He
respects my dad and me, too much. Bullshit excuse if I’ve ever heard one. Plus,
he said, that she’s older and might not want to have a relationship with a
younger guy.
“Don’t
go there, Jake. I told you how I feel about her, and why I refuse to make a
move, besides she’s not with anyone. Trish is with Dylan. Do I need to remind
you, he’s your best friend?” He forcefully asks, pointing his finger at me.
With
my hands on my waist, I look at him, seriousness blanketing my face.
“Brian,
what do you think I’ll do? I’m not going to deny I feel a different pull every
time I look into her eyes…I can’t describe it. It’s as if I’m drawn to her, a
force pulling me to her,” I start shaking my head. “But, I know my place,
Brian. You know me, man. I won’t hurt D like that.”
He
sighs. “I know, Jake. It’s just when I saw you look at her, I’ve never seen you
look at anyone like that. It’s as if everything stopped. You couldn’t even tear
your eyes away from her. Just pray Dylan didn’t notice it.”
As
we walk back, my eyes search around, looking for her. She’s seated, sandwiched
between Roxy and Tami. I could tell they love her, already. I notice Cody
eyeing Roxy, and as I turn toward Brian, he too is looking at Tami, the same
way Cody is looking at Roxy. Damn, all three of us are looking at three girls
who can never be ours. I search for Dylan, but he isn’t around. Why would he
not be attached to Trish baffles my mind. If I were him, I would be…like white
on rice.
As my eyes wander back to Trish, I promise myself I
will be a friend to her, no matter what. There’s no way I could not be around
her. I am fucking doomed. How could I forget such a face, but most importantly,
how could I deny the pull I feel for her…how can I stop it…control it? I don’t
think I could break it, even if I tried….it just simply is… unbreakable.
I’m a middle child, and no, I don’t suffer from the middle
child syndrome. According to my parents, I’m the craziest, and I think, my
husband and children agree with them.
Besides the births of my two children, my husband’s
successful transplant is one of the most memorable moments of my crazy life!
After dealing with two bouts of cancer, my husband served as an inspiration to
me and my children. I’m privileged to be married and go on this crazy ride, we
call life, with a man who doesn’t know the meaning of giving up.
I’m known as The Crazy Cat Lady, in the Wanted World. Am I
crazy? Well, the jury is still out on that one, but I’d like to think I can
make one person smile with my craziness.
