The gangleader and me

Chapter 28

Jake's eyes connected with mine and he pushed Stephanie away from him. He started making his way towards me very slowly with his hands raised. All my anger was back at once and this time, it was directed to the bitch who was giving me a satisfied smirk. 

" Baby, It is not what you think ..." Jake stated unsure. 

" Oh really ? Because I think Stephanie here doesn't know the definition of bounderies." I almost yelled with venom in my voice. I started taking of the necklace that Jake gave me for his mom's party and I handed it to him. " Can you hold this for me please ?" I asked sweetly. 

" Yeah sure but why would you -"

But I stopped listening to him and instead took big strides to a clueless Stephanie. I was a nice person but a very jealous one too. And this bitch had been crossing the line one to many times. I lunged at her once she was an arm lenght far. She fell to the ground and yelled like a five year old. 

I straddled her and landed a few punches to her face. She tried to retaliate with a few nails scratches but I was furious and the adrenaline was pumping through my veins and fueled with my anger. I yelled profanities at her and I could have down much worse if someone hadn't grabbed me around the waist and pulled me away from her. 

" LET GO OF ME !" I yell to Jake who desperatly tried to calm me with no much sucess. 

" Don't touch me with your filthy hands that touched her too." I yelled once again while trying to pry his arms away from my waist. 

"Baby, I didn't touch her. I would have never touched her. Please believe me. Please." Jake begged me while he buried his head in my neck. He kept on mumbling apologies and I could hear pain in his voice. I stopped struggling and he released me but didn't let go of me completely. 

He turned me around and tried to me my eyes but I didn't want to look at hm. I was angry at him, at his mom, at Stephanie and also at me for not being enough... Tears pricked the corners of my eyes. Jake cupped my face with his hands and made me look at him in the eyes. I could see guilt and sincerity in them. And I couldn't stop the tears anymore and they just started falling. He hugged me and I did the same. 

" I think you should leave my house at once and never come back. If you ever set foot here or come near me ever again, I will deal with you in the worst way possible Stephanie. You need to understand that I want nothing to do with you. Miranda will lead you out even though you know where is the way out." Jake exclaimed in his Boss voice that had me freezing in his arms.

" You have no idea what choice you just made Jake. She will never be good enough for you. She will never satisfy you the way I can and could. I am the better one and even your mom knows it. Why can't you just see it ?" she said exasperated at the end.

 Hearing this made me bury deeper in Jake's chest and he kissed the top of my head in reassurance. I wanted to say something back. To show her how better than her I was, but I was truly exhausted and she made me insecure ... So I expected Jake to say something but I didn't see the next thing coming. 

" Actually, I am starting to review my judgement." Ms Holt said. 

At her voice, my head snapped up and she was watching me with eyes full of admiration. Where the hell did that come from ? Ten minutes ago she wanted me gone and now, she was on my side. I might never understand this woman ... 

" But Rebecca, this is nonsense ! You cannot possibly support this relation." she scream pointing towards me and Jake. 

"Actually, I am supporting the girl my son chose. She has fire when she needs it and she isn't scared to fight for what belongs to her. She has more qualities than I knew about and she makes my son happy. As a mother, I can only vouch for my son's happiness and it is this girl." she explained nicely.

Nicely !! Can you believe it ? No disdain, no presumptous or condescending tone. I think I might have even seen a ghost of a smile. 

" You have no idea how big the mistake you are making is ! I will get you back for this you french whore !!" she exclaimed. 

I was about to lunge at her once again but Jake hold me back. 

" You threaten her once again and you will never see the light of day again ! Now get the hell out of my house before I throw you out like the piece of trash you really are." Jake growled at her. 

She huffed and stomped her foot before exiting the room and a few minutes after, the front door was slammed shut. I turned back to face Jake once again and he traced my bottom lip with his thumb before kissing me sweetly. 

" I'm sorry for all of this baby ... Can you put your necklace back on ?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes but smiled nonetheless. This necklace was his way 'of notifying the world that I was his and only his'. His word not mine, he told them to me when I first tried to give it back to him during the first week we were dating. 

The maids came in with the rest of the desserts plates and we took a seat once again. And without Stephanie showing herself off, the diner was actually enjoyable. And I discovered a lot of things : Jake truly loves me and his mother is ready to give me a shot and I can kick ass. 

It was on hell of a night ...
