CONTENTS
For Ria,
Without you this would never have happened.
“How was band practice?”
Sienna asked, raising her head from the sofa that she had been lying on for the past three hours.
“Same as always,” Jake replied, walking through the door and placing his keys on the kitchen bench. He grabbed his guitar and headed for the bedroom, closing the door shut. Sienna got up off the sofa and walked over to his room, she could hear the gentle strumming of Jake’s guitar through the walls as she knocked on the door.
“Yeah?” she heard Jake call from within. She slowly pressed against the door and opened it. Jake was sitting on the bed, he had removed his shirt and his guitar strap rested across his bare back as Sienna walked over to him. “Are you alright?” she asked.
“What do you mean?” Jake asked, not making eye contact with her.
“Exactly what I asked. Jake, you haven’t been yourself lately, what’s going on?” he continued to strum on his guitar, trying to avoid Sienna’s question.
“Nothing is going on.” He removed the guitar from around his neck, walked over to the closet and grabbed the first shirt he could find. He still hadn’t looked at Sienna the whole time she had been in the room.
“Ok, Fine! Well, whatever it is that has got you in this mood, you need to get out of it. I’m going to make a start on dinner. I’ll let you know when it’s ready.” She turned and walked out the door, leaving Jake alone with his thoughts.
Jake and Sienna had been best friends since they were kids. They were practically brother and sister, and they shared everything together. Being a manager in Real Estate, Sienna had found a beautiful, cheap place to rent and the two of them decided to move in together.
Jake is the lead guitarist in his local band, Lightning Ridge, and they were currently working on their debut album. With the two of them working long days and late nights, they rarely got to spend much time together.
Sienna had definitely had her fair share of boyfriends, she had an amazing personality and killer looks. Her long, wavy, blonde hair hung below her shoulders. She kept herself fit, with regular early morning visits to the gym and clean eating, she maintained the physique of an athlete. Jake had seen her in a crop top before, many times. Often enough, it was hard to stop his eyes from wandering to the sweat that would drip down her chest and into her perfectly sized tits, she was at least an F cup.
Jake had only ever looked at Sienna like a younger sister. But recently that had changed. Aside from staring at her breasts, there were times when he couldn't help but stare longingly at her beautiful, slim ass. He also couldn't deny the fact that she had the most gorgeous smile that made his cock twitch.
Sienna was completely oblivious to this. Jake made it a point to never let things get awkward whenever they were in the same room, well, tried to at least. Sienna had no problem walking around the house in nothing but her negligee. She'd known Jake for over twenty years, heck, she'd seen his cock several times on her way in and out of the bathroom.
They were both usually comfortable around each other and often shared their secrets. There were times, however, when Jake would blush every time she would walk into the room and he had his top off. This was one of those times and his feelings for her, were one secret that he wasn't ready to share...yet!
He sat down on the bed again, placed the guitar around his neck and began playing the new tune he had just written with the band. Lightning Ridge consisted of four band members; lead singer, Tori, second guitarist, Ryan, Lance on drums and Jake on lead guitar and vocals. The guitar was slightly out of tune, he fiddled around with the stings and fine-tuned his instrument before beginning the tune again. He began humming the tune softly and stood up continuing to play his guitar.
He walked around the room, humming, he could hear the sounds of the stereo echoing through the walls from the living room. Sienna had put on her new Dark Falkon album, she had been obsessed with the band since they formed two years ago. She had been to every single one of their concerts, some with her best friend, Ivy, who she meet when Jake and her first moved to New York some three years earlier.
Sometimes, Jake would came home from band practice and Sienna would have the volume on high and be singing at the top of her lungs, while dancing around the living room. Dark Falkon were a rock band and their music was similar to that of Jake’s band, although, he'd never heard them sing live before.
Sienna's bedroom was covered, wall to wall, with posters of the band's lead singer, Lukas Dark. She always spoke about how perfect he was, and she was always telling Jake how she would do anything to meet him in person. Apparently, it wasn't enough that she was always in the front row, flashing her tits and throwing her bra at him. She wanted more, she wanted to touch him.
He couldn't believe it, the thought of Sienna even thinking about another man actually made him jealous. “This is nuts,” he said, frustrated, removing the guitar and placing it gently down on the bed. “She's my best friend. She can date whoever she wants, even if it is just a fantasy. He's a rock star, she doesn't stand a chance with him, does she?” Once again, the thought of seeing Sienna with another man drove him crazy.
It wasn’t that long ago that Jake realized his feelings for Sienna had developed into more than just friendship. It all started when she and Ivy went to their first concert. At first he was in complete denial, he brushed off his feelings and simply tried to ignore them. But recently, Sienna and Ivy had started meeting up after work regularly, for drinks with guys.
Jake had no reason to be jealous, Sienna was single and very much available. He hadn't given her any indication that he was interested in her.
Frustrated with his feelings, he lay down on the bed with his hands behind his head, staring up at the ceiling. “Dinner's ready!” Jake opened his eyes some time later and heard Sienna call from the kitchen, he must have dozed off. He got off the bed and made his way into the kitchen, sitting down at the table.
“I'm sorry about earlier,” Jake told Sienna, “It's just been a busy couple of weeks. I know it's no excuse, I'm sorry.”
“You don't have to apologize. I know how hard you and the band have been working, it's a stressful time for you all. I have those moments with work too, it all just creeps up and gets the better of you at times.” Sienna placed their meals on the table, sat down and poured them both some wine.
“You've been playing this album nonstop for weeks now,” Jake said, eating his dinner.
“I love this album, I think it's their best one yet.”
“You say that about all their albums and it's only their third one.”
“Yeah, but each album gets better and better,” Sienna replied, sipping her wine.
“So, any news on their next tour?” Jake asked, not that he was the slightest bit interested.
“Yep! April fifteen. I already have my tickets.”
“Let me guess, front row, center?” Jake asked, sarcastically.
“Obviously! Would you expect anything less?” There was some brief silence for a couple of minutes as they enjoyed their meals and wine.
“You know, personally, I don't know what you see in the guy,” Jake spoke, with a mouth full of food.
“You're a guy, you wouldn't get it. He doesn't have tits or a pussy.”
“No! He certainly doesn't!” Jake whispered under his breath.
“What?” Sienna asked.
“Nothing,” he replied, quickly finishing his meal.
“So! That tune you were humming earlier, your new song?”
“You heard that, over all this noise?”
“You'd be surprised the things I hear coming out of your room, Jake.”
Jake was slightly embarrassed. He wondered what exactly she had heard and prayed that she had never heard him call out her name in the middle of his sleep.
“Yeah, it's a new song. We just finished writing it, tonight.” He couldn't answer her question more quickly as he tried to ease the awkwardness that he suddenly felt.
“Can I hear it?”
“Um, when it's recorded, yes.”
“Jake!”
“What?”
“You're such a tease. That's so not fair.”
“You know me by now, Sienna. I never deliver an unfinished product, I have a rep to protect,” he replied with sarcasm.
“Oh god!”
Sienna cleared the dishes and poured them both some more wine and the two of them headed for the sofa. Jake sat in his usual position, he always had the right side of the sofa. Sienna usually preferred the arm chair, but tonight for some unknown reason, she decided to sit on the sofa, next to Jake.
