First Crush (Dark Falkon #1) (2 page)

Jake gulped and then cleared his throat as his eyes began to wander towards her. Sienna changed out of her work clothes and into a loose shirt which she always wore to bed. It hung loosely over her breasts and stopped just on her thighs, barely covering her ass and pussy. While Jake slept in just his boxers, Sienna was more comfortable sleeping totally naked. He'd seen her naked many times but seeing her practically naked next to him right now, didn't help his growing attraction towards her. He casually shifted himself on the sofa, as his cock stiffened.

“Everything alright?” Sienna asked, sipping more wine.

“Ye-yep!” Jake stuttered crossing one leg over the other. His eyes roaming from her vagina to her breasts, he tried to look discreet, hoping that she hadn't noticed.

“Oh my god! I fucking love this song,” Sienna suddenly blurted out, standing up and cranking up the volume on the stereo. Dark Falkon's number one single, Way Back Home, blasted through the living room. Sienna belted out the lyrics at the top of her lungs, while Jake sat there and watched, smirking at her. Surprisingly enough, Sienna actually had an amazing singing voice. He asked her many times if she would ever consider doing the lead vocals in his band. She would always look at him and laugh before quickly changing the subject. 

Jake couldn't help himself, his foot started to move in time with the music. He stood up off the sofa and walked over to the stereo. The microphone was lying next to the stereo, he plugged it in, turned up the volume even louder and he too started singing, Way Back Home. 

The two of them finished the wine and sang out loud with the microphone. They were having so much fun and Sienna hadn't noticed that the shirt she was wearing had come undone, revealing her perfectly smooth, tanned, naked body beneath. 

Jake noticed, but quickly turned his eyes away before Sienna caught him looking at her. 

“SIENNA,” he yelled.

“Huh?” She replied, looking at him.

Jake turned down the stereo and looked at her again.

“Um...,” he said, eyeing her up and down. 

“Oh! It's just as well it's only you here. And besides, it's not like it's anything you haven't seen before.” She said it so casually as if it was no big deal as she buttoned up her shirt.

“I'm going to take a shower,” Jake said quickly, as he headed for the bathroom. He locked the door and stared into the mirror. He stood there for a few minutes, not saying a word, just staring at his reflection which was staring right back at him. 

“She's your best friend, you can't let things get awkward,” he whispered to himself. He stripped out of his clothes and jumped into the shower. 

Jake walked out into the living room, Sienna was sitting on the sofa watching something on the television. After throwing his clothes into the washing machine, he made himself comfortable on the armchair next to the sofa. He looked up at the television and saw Lukas Dark center stage, as Sienna watched their last concert on DVD.

“How many times have you watched this now?” Jake asked, although he didn't care in the slightest. 

“Not enough,” Sienna replied. 

“I really can't work out what women see in him.”

“Like I said earlier, Jake, he doesn't have tits or a pussy. You just wouldn't get it.”

“Is that what you think I am really like?”

“You're a guy, aren't you?”

“Yeah, but it's not all about tits and a pussy. I do have some morals.”

Sienna burst into laughter, almost spilling the glass of water that she was holding in her hand.

“Are you drunk? Seriously, Jake. I'm not saying you don't have morals, all I'm saying is, you're a male. If there's no tits, ass or pussy most men are completely blind at what's in front of them.”

“I can't believe you just said that.”

“What?”

“Sienna, you and I have been friends for how long now? Years! Never in all that time have I ever given you reason to think that I am a womanizing, chauvinistic pig. I'm actually insulted.” He turned and walked to his room, slamming the door shut behind him. In anger, he kicked the amplifier which was lying under his bed.

“Fuck!” He yelled in pain, rubbing his toe.

“Jake?” he heard Sienna call out from outside his room.

“Get lost!” he yelled, still nursing his toe.

“Jake, I’m sorry. Really I am. That was a stupid, dumb ass thing to say.”

“You think? Just go away please, Sienna.”

Sienna was about to knock on the door again, but she knew not to press her luck. Jake was one to hold a grudge for a very long time. She smacked her head against the door in frustration, turned and walked back over to the sofa and finished watching the DVD.

It was a couple of hours later when Jake finally came out of his room. The television was switched off and there was no sign of Sienna. He took a glimpse at her bedroom door, it was wide open and her bed, unslept in. He slowly crept over to the living room, and as he approached he could see Sienna lying peacefully on the sofa, she was sound asleep.

He stood there, watching over her as if she was some precious and delicate flower. Her hair was frizzy and it covered her face, he looked down at her thighs, the shirt she was wearing had ridden up, exposing her bare pussy. He could feel his cock spring to life under his shorts, slowly, he reached down her thigh with his hand. He could see her opening, it was only inches away, he reached down lower and Sienna let out a slight moan as she rolled over, he couldn’t remove his hand fast enough as he jumped back, almost falling over the coffee table.

Jake quickly walked to his room, slowly closing the door behind him. He lay down on the bed, he sighed in frustration, staring up at the ceiling.

“That was fucking close. Too close. The last thing I need is to make things awkward between the two of us, if Sienna found out how I ever felt about her, she’d probably hate me for the rest of my life.

####FRIENDSHIP####

Jake had the most restless night’s sleep he had ever had in a very long time. All he could think about was Sienna and her nakedness, he couldn’t shake the images of her out of his head. As he lay there staring out his bedroom window, he could hear footsteps outside his room.

“Jake, I’m making bacon and eggs, do you want any?” Sienna yelled.

“Yeah, thanks,” he yelled back. He lay there for a few more minutes, gathering his thoughts and feelings. Lightning Ridge had their first ever concert tonight, they were performing in front of a sold out crowd for a charity benefit in Queens. He had given Sienna two free tickets and she had decided to bring her best friend, Ivy. They were going to commute to the concert by train, while he was going to travel with the band.

After he showered, Jake stood in the bathroom and stared at his reflection in the mirror. Standing at six feet, five inches with jet black hair and blue eyes, he was in excellent shape. Sporting a ripped stomach with six pack abs, every girl wanted him, and all men wanted to be him. He had been on dates before, plenty, in fact and after many “flings,” he just never met the right one. Even now, living with Sienna, there were moments where he just wanted to throw her down on the bed and pound her pussy hard, but he couldn’t. Jake was practically invisible to Sienna, there was no sexual tension, well, on her part anyway and all he wanted to do, was to tell Sienna how he truly felt about her. But at the same time, he was terrified of losing his best friend.

After he dressed, he grabbed his guitar from his room, placed it over his shoulders, and sat down at the table. Sienna dished up the bacon and eggs then sat down beside him.

“Are you all set for the gig?” She asked.

“We’re as ready as we can be, I guess. We’ve been practicing every night for the past two months. If we’re not ready now, then I guess we never will be.”

He ate his breakfast, barely looking at Sienna.

“Nervous?” Sienna asked.

“A little, I mean, this
is
our first concert.”

“Yeah, but singing and playing the guitar is your life Jake, doesn’t it all come naturally by now?”

“It does, but this is different. This is a big deal for the band and I. Tori is lucky because she comes from a musical family. Both her parents were singers and her brother and sister both played the drums and the guitar, I never had any of that, I was self-trained.”

“You really need to stop stressing, you’ll be fine and you’ll be amazing. I know you will.”

The two of them slowly finished their meals, Jake sat down on the sofa and tuned his guitar while Sienna washed up.

“So does this mean I get to hear the new song, tonight?”

“Yes!” Jake yelled from the sofa and Sienna let out a loud “Finally!” from the kitchen.

“By the way, how come you never asked Tori’s brother or sister to be in the band?”

“Oh, we did, but they said that they were no longer interested in performing full time. They had already been performing for years and by the time we started up the band, they just didn’t have the heart to do it anymore.”

Jake’s cell phone rang; “Hey, Tori!” he answered, as Sienna put the last of the dishes away. “Yeah, I’m ready now,” Sienna grabbed her bag and pulled out her cell, checking for any messages. “Okay, thanks, I’ll see you soon.” He removed the guitar from around his neck, placed it in its case and grabbed the rest of his gear from the bedroom.

“Was that the band?” Sienna called.

“Yeah, they are on their way.”

“But the benefit doesn’t start until seven p.m., and it’s only eleven a.m.,” she said, looking at her watch.

“I know,” he emerged from the bedroom and placed the amplifier and guitar by the front door, “but we need to get down to the venue so that we can do a sound and lighting check and go through the songs one more time.”

He finished talking and walked hastily to the bathroom, he grabbed a wad of gel and spread it evenly through his hair, spiking it. He splashed on his expensive Hugo Boss aftershave, cleaned his teeth and headed back out into the living room.

“Oh! Wow! You scrub up nicely,” Sienna said, “Oh wait,” she walked over to him and fiddled with his hair, “there, that’s better.”

“Thanks,” he said and smiled.

“New cologne?”

“Yeah. You like?”

“Yeah, I do actually, you smell really nice.”

Jake smiled as he heard a car horn downstairs.”

“That’s the guys,” he said, picking up his guitar and amplifier.

“Do you need a hand?”

“Nah, thanks. I guess I’ll see you there, then?”

“Yep. I’m about to text Ivy now, we’re going to hang out until it’s time to leave.”

“Ok.” Jake opened the door and stepped outside, “Oh, Jake?” Sienna called, running towards him, she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, “Break a leg.” Jake smiled at her, he couldn’t control the redness that had suddenly swept across his face. “See you later.”

He closed the door and made his way downstairs, Sienna could hear their voices and the sound of a car engine. She looked out the window and watched as the black Jeep drove off.

“Man! He's hot,” Ivy yelled through the crowd, as Lightning Ridge performed.

“What? Who?” Sienna roared.

“Jake. He's hot.”

“Ivy, you've seen him before, many times.”

“Yeah, but not like this, I mean he's really hot. I can't believe the two of you live together and you haven't even fucked him, yet.”

“Excuse me?!” Sienna was mortified. 

“I'm just saying.”

“We are practically brother and sister, neither of us has ever looked at one another like that. Besides, I've got my eye on someone else.”

“Oh, right, yeah! Lukas, how could I possibly forget?” Ivy fluttered her eyelashes at Sienna, and the two of them continued to dance. “So, he’s still single, then?” Ivy asked, intrigued.

“Jake?”

Ivy nodded, she had always had a thing for Jake, since she met him, but was too shy to tell him.

“Yes, he's single. But you're not his type, Ivy.”

“Really? How would you know?”

“I know Jake, and I know his type. Trust me, don't waste your time.”

Sienna and Ivy danced as Lightning Ridge continued to perform on stage. Ivy turned her eyes on Jake and winked at him, he acknowledged her with a smile, but who he really wanted, was Sienna.

The venue was small and it was a full house. There were security guards at every exit and charity workers had a stall set up in front of the main entrance. Sienna knew how much tonight meant to Jake and the band, and she was happy that it was a sold out show for their first gig.

“We are going to take a small break and we will be back soon with a very special surprise,” Jake announced on the mic, as he and the rest of the band headed off stage. 

“Come on, let's go,” Sienna said, grabbing Ivy's arm and dragging her away through the crowd. 

“Where are we going?”

“Just trust me, come on.” The two of them made their way through the crowd as fast as they could, and soon they found themselves backstage. Sienna followed the narrow corridor until the two of them came to a stop outside a room. Sienna knocked on the door and she could hear someone approaching.
