A bang stirs Bradley from his sleep, but he doesn’t move, unsure if he’s dreaming. A growl of thunder rumbles in the distance, and he wonders if that’s what woke him.

He rolls onto his back, pushing the sheet down to his waist, seeking the cooler air of the room.

A second louder knock sounds. He jumps from his bed and rushes out of the room as the rain grows heavier, pelting the windows.

It can’t be work-related. The navy would have called, not sent someone to get him.

He flicks on the light in the hallway, interrupting the urgent insistence of the third knock. Bradley scrambles to unlock the door, finally pulling it open as a flash of lighting breaks across the sky. 

You stand a few steps off his porch, rain-soaked clothes and hair clinging to your skin, but it doesn’t hide the agony behind your tears. 

“I …I,” you hiccup, chin shaking, “I didn’t know where else to go.”

The water dripping from you seems to drag your remaining strength with it, and your legs buckle. Bradley leaps toward you, but he’s too late. You're in a heap on the ground.

He cradles you, rocking back and forth while your throat-scratching roars of pain nearly rival the storm’s rage.

“They announced it,” you stutter, voice shaking, “officially declared it. Jake’s gone.”

Bradley doesn’t tell you it will be okay. He doesn’t promise you that one day it will be. It won’t ever be the same again.

Holy shit, this story. It’s such a roller coaster of emotions. The sweetness of Rooster. The sweetness of how she and Jake got together. The sexy time. The angst, this story with stick with me and I hope you continue you it. I NEED you to continue it. Even if it breaks my heart.

I NEED part 2 for me too 😝 I’m working on it. 💜

Thank you 😊

A/N: For Stacey, a little bit of Rooster fluff to brighten your day. 💛

The breeze rolled across the deck where everyone you loved had gathered to celebrate your birthday. Wine flowed into glasses and music eased conversation while the sun began its descent towards the horizon, casting the world in an orange glow.

With a distracted heart, you moved from one hug to another thanking those who had shown up.

“Happy birthday, beautiful.”

Sunlight had his skin glistening golden, his eyes glowing amber. The tenderness of his stare had your heart fluttering; the teasing of his smile had laughter bubbling up your chest.

“You made it,” the words all but whispered.

His arms slipped around you, warm and firm.

“Always.”

Fries, Goodbyes & The Rest Of Our Lives

It’s been a week. It’s not even worth listing all the things that went wrong. The icing on the cake (presumably made with salt and not sugar - cause it's that kind of week) was your date canceled on you as you took a seat at a booth in the diner.

You sigh as the waitress comes to take your order, accepting that you’ve been stood up and decide you may as well eat since you’re already there.

“I’ll take a cheeseburger, side salad, no tomato, extra dressing, please.” 

The elderly waitress smiles. It’s comforting and sweet. Her name tag says Pattie, and you imagine her grandkids get overly excited whenever Granny Pat visits. “You want the fries with that?”

You ponder for half a second before declining, “No thanks.”

“You sure, hun? They’re included in the price.”

You had dirty Cajun fries from the food cart outside the office at lunch. You know the diner’s fries won’t taste as good, besides you want to leave room for dessert, so you politely decline again. 

“I’ll take them, Pattie!”

You twist in the booth to look over your shoulder and find the source. A handsome guy sitting at the bar, wearing a light yellow floral print shirt, smiles and gives a two-fingered wave. You’d clocked him when you’d entered. You’d caught his eye too, and he’d given you a broad smile. His mustache was a flashback to a decade or two ago, but he wore it well. He carried it with a sense of pride and confidence. It looked good on him. Anyone else, you’d have thought it was creepy.

“Hush now, boy,” Pattie scolds, but she’s smiling when she turns back to face you.

You chuckle, nodding toward him, “He’ll take the fries.”

All Or Nothing

With the brightest of smiles, Jake spins you around the dance floor. You feel the eyes of envy burning into you from most of the females in the room. Not for the first time, you wonder why he chose to take you to the award ceremony instead of an actual date. He won’t be getting lucky with you tonight, but someone should take advantage of the Adonis in his dress whites.

“You’re extra happy tonight,” you say, knowing it's more than the medal pinned to his chest for his part in the dagger mission.

“I am happy,” Jake replies, his cheek against yours, the hand on the small of your back urging you closer. “I got a medal, my best friend is here, it’s an open bar, and I get to piss off Rooster.”

He focuses on Rooster, finger following his gaze, sobering quickly, the air of jesting evaporating. “You break her heart, and I’ll fuck with your jet and make it look like an accident.”

He means it too 😜😉no one messes with his friend (except Jake - if you carry on reading 😂)

Thanks for reading 😍

OMG this is just the fluffy start I needed to my day 💜I have the hugest smile on my face right now.

The banter is on point, they are all so in character and their comments are hilarious 🤣 😂 I wanna know how much trouble Jake get them in though 😝

Broken Promises

It feels like emotional suicide. Jake knows no good will come of him scrolling your Instagram feed. Seeing your content smile next to Bradley’s beaming love-filled grin makes his heart sick. Yet his thumb continues, the pictures get older, and he replaces Bradley at your side.

Photos of your life together assault the tenuous state of his sanity — a holiday to Mexico, crystal clear water up to your knees, fruity, bright cocktails in hand, Jake’s arm around your waist. The Christmas you went with his family to Lapland, you sitting on Santa’s lap while Jake pointed an accusing finger as if Santa had been naughty. A picture of Jake sleeping, head in your lap with the caption - “He’s cute when he’s sleeping.” Another on his graduation day, your beyond proud smile grinning back at him. It seems like a lifetime ago, a time when the world made sense. 

It’s been four days… four days of radio silence.

Jake’s sent you messages and left voicemails, but it’s like screaming into the void. Or maybe it’s because he only ever finds the words at the bottom of a hundred proof at stupid o’clock when he’s missing you and grieving. 

I’m sorry. Please can we talk about this? I didn’t mean to hurt you. I love you, and I’m sorry for not figuring it out sooner.

Thank you babes 🥰😍
