First Crush (Dark Falkon #1) (29 page)

“I love you,” she whispered, sulking slightly.

“I love you, too,” Lukas replied and they shared another kiss. 

The limousine pulled up outside Sienna's apartment. Joseph took her suitcase out of the trunk and followed Lukas and Sienna to the front door. 

“Thank you for an amazing week.”

“You're welcome, and like I said, this is just the beginning. There are going to be a lot more vacations, together.”

She smiled and noticed that Jake's car was in the drive. 

“Jake must be home,” she said. 

“She quietly opened the door and Joseph placed her suitcase on the floor. 

“Good night, Ms. Forrester,” Joseph said and he turned and walked back to the car. Jake's bedroom door was closed, she and Lukas quietly made their way into the living room being careful not to make a sound. 

“I wish I could stay all night,” Lukas whispered, covering her neck with gentle, soft kisses. 

“Me too,” she replied, her whisper was almost erotic as she tilted her head back and allowed him to continue. He teased her breasts, massaging them with his hands as he continued to kiss her neck.

“No! Lukas, stop! We'll wake Jake,” she whispered, fixing her top.

“Well, he'll certainly get more than he bargained for, won't he?” 

“Lukas I'm serious. Jake has only just accepted the fact that you and I are dating, I don't want to give him another reason to blow a fuse.”

Lukas smiled, removing his hand from her tits, he now held her head gently between his hands. 

“You're amazing, you know that? This is what I love about you, always putting others ahead of yourself including your friends.” He closed his eyes and kissed her. 

“Jake's very lucky to have a friend like you,” he whispered. He fixed up his shirt and pants and turned towards the door, “I better get going, Joseph's been waiting a while.”

Sienna adjusted her top and skirt, she quietly opened the front door and Lukas stepped outside. 

“Thank you, again for an amazing week.”

“My pleasure,” he replied as he kissed her once again. 

Sienna smiled and watched as Lukas stepped into the limousine. He opened the window and waved as Sienna watched the car turn down the street and out of sight. 

She closed the door and quietly dragged her suitcase to her room. 

She stripped out of her clothes, letting out a sigh of relief as she removed her bra, allowing her tits to sag freely.

“I have been waiting hours to do that,” she whispered. 

She threw on her pajamas, she was too tired to unpack, so she decided that she would do it tomorrow after she got home from work. 

She heard a noise from Jake's room, she pressed her ear against the wall and listened quietly. She could hear the sounds of his loud snores echoing through the wall and into her eardrum. A smile swept over her face, even though she had just had the most fantastic week of her life, she missed her best friend. 

She was extremely tired, but Sienna just couldn't seem to go to sleep. Perhaps it was all the excitement that had built up inside her this past week. She slowly tiptoed out into the kitchen and made herself a hot chocolate. As she turned to head back to her room, Jake's bedroom door opened. He yawned as he walked out in his blue satin boxers and headed for the kitchen.

“Sorry, did I wake you?” Sienna asked.

“No!” Jake yawned, “Just grabbing a drink.”

He opened the fridge, the light blinding his vision as he squinted his eyes. 

“How was the vacation?” He asked, sleepily.

“Amazing! Lukas and I had a really great time, just sad that it's all over.”

“Is, Lukas here?” Jake asked, looking around. 

“No, he's gone.”

“Thank fuck for that,” Jake whispered under his breath. 

“What?” Sienna asked.

“Nothing!”

“Jake, seriously, I've been home two minutes and already you're going to get started.”

“I didn't say anything,” he yawned.

“Yeah, yeah! Anyway, I'm going to try and get some sleep, I'm exhausted. Night!” She yawned, grabbing her hot chocolate and heading for her room, shutting the door behind her. 

“Night,” Jake said as he finished his drink. He turned out the light and slowly walked back to his room.

Sienna grabbed her phone, she started typing a message to Lukas but stopped, suddenly. He'd only been gone half an hour, she didn't want to come across as the nervous girlfriend who was always attached. She sighed and rolled over, within a couple of minutes she could hear Jake snoring again through the walls. 

After what seemed like hours of tossing and turning she finally managed to settle her excitement and fall asleep. 

She woke the following morning to find a message from Lukas on her phone;
Hope you slept okay, miss you and have a good day at work. I love you, Lukas x.

She smiled as she hoped out of bed and changed into her work clothes,
I love you too x
she replied. She could hear Jake in the kitchen, she opened the door and headed towards him. 

“Morning!” He said, placing a fresh cup of coffee in front of her. 

“Coffee, great! Thanks.”

She looked at the clock and gasped. 

“Fuck! I'm running late.”

“Why don't you call in sick? Say you have jet lag or something.”

“Jake, Canada is only five hours away.”

“So, it was a very long five hours,” he joked. 

“Nah! As tempting as the offer sounds, I really should go in. I can imagine the amount of work that's piled up on my desk, waiting for me.”

“Good luck with that,” Jake joked, again.

“Oh you're so funny,” she replied.

She put on her make-up, grabbed her bag and quickly headed out the door. 

“Bye,” she yelled, running to the car.

She turned the ignition and put her foot on the accelerator, but the car wouldn't start. She tried again several times, but it was dead.

“Shit, shit, shit,” she yelled. 

She ran back into the house, catching a glimpse of Jake in a towel as he was heading for the shower. 

“Jake?” She yelled.

“Yeah?”

“Sorry, but can you give me a lift to work, my car won't start, battery must be dead.”

“Sure, let me put some clothes on,” he said quickly going back to his room to change. 

“I'm so going to be late,” Sienna said. 

“I'm coming, I'm coming,” Jake replied, grabbing his keys and heading out the door. 

The commute to work took longer than normal, peak hour traffic in Manhattan was the worst at the best of times but today, it seemed everyone had left at the same time.

“Fuck this traffic,” Sienna said.

“Relax, Sienna, just call the office and let them know you'll be late.”

“It's not that easy, Jake. I've been gone a week and I know I'll have shit loads of work to catch up on.”

“So?”

“So, I don't really want to work back tonight. I wanted to catch up with you, Ivy and Dick. I've been gone a week, I'm sure a lot has happened.”

“Not really.”

“Well, I wanted to ask them over for dinner, do you think you can go to the grocery store and do some shopping?”

“Sienna! Stop stressing, I'll take care of everything. I'll go to the grocery store, I'll call Dick and Ivy and I'll even make dinner, just relax.”

“Actually, I'll catch up with Ivy at lunch, I'll let her know then. So all you need to do is worry about the cooking. Thanks, Jake, I love you.” She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, relief sweeping over her face. 

Jake couldn't help but get hard within seconds. She'd kissed him many times before, but this was the first time she'd ever said that she loved him, even if it wasn't in the context that he wanted. He could feel his cock throbbing in his pants and he was relieved that he was sitting down. Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel awkward sitting there all alone with her. 

“So, I haven't really had much of a chance to speak to you since I got back, what have you been up to this past week? Anything interesting happen?” 

“No, not really. I met up with the band a couple of times, just to discuss some new material but we haven't written or recorded anything new yet.”

“New material? So you'll be starting a new song or album, soon?”

“Not for a while, no. The band and I have discussed it and at the moment, we're all enjoying the free time that we have. Tori thinks that we should just use this time to wind down and relax.”

“So, what does that mean? You guys won't be recording anymore?”

“No, I didn't say that. This album took a lot out of us, it took us almost a year to produce and it was a lot of time away from our family and friends. It's done really well and we've had a lot of positive feedback. Not to mention the amount of play it's been getting around town and the publicity with all our tours. We just want to see how it goes.”

There was brief silence as the car slowed down at the traffic lights. 

“Are you happy?” Sienna asked out of the blue.

“I beg your pardon?” Jake replied, completely confused.

“Are you happy? I mean, with the way things have worked out for you?”

“Oh! Look, I think the band and I have come a very long way since we've started. And for me, it’s a hobby more than anything. I do it because I love doing it, not because I have to just to make a living. Yeah sure, the money helps, but it's not everything.”

Jake turned down the street where Sienna worked, she still had ten minutes to spare and Jake could tell that she was slightly relieved that she had made it. 

“But doesn't a small part of you want something more, also?”

“Yeah, I suppose! But for now, I'm happy just recording music and playing at gigs. If an agent comes along and assigns us to a label, of course, I'll be happy. At the moment, the band and I are making some good money, I mean it's not a fortune, but it helps. So to answer your question, for now, yes, I'm happy!”

He pulled up outside her workplace and Sienna undid her seat belt. 

“Thanks, Jake,” she said, leaning over and kissing him on the cheek.

“Um, what time do you want me to pick you up?”

“Well, I might actually catch the train home with Ivy. That way she can just come straight over.”

“But what about, Dick?”

“Oh, right! Um...look, I'll call you, I gotta go, bye.”

She slammed the door shut and attempted to run to the door, but the task proved impossible with her nine inch heels and her arms full with papers. 

Jake's erection finally settled down, it wasn't very often that he and Sienna were in the same car together. He always got like this whenever they were inches away from each other. It didn't help that Sienna wore her black mini skirt that sat above her knees, almost making it impossible for Jake's eyes not to wander up her thighs. 

On his way back to their apartment, Jake pulled into the grocery store and bought what he needed for dinner. As he drove onto the highway he switched on the radio, “
Here I go again...
” He sang, as Whitesnake's hit played.  

“Jake! Grow some fucking balls and tell the chick how you feel about her.”

He looked in the rear mirror and saw his eyes staring back at him.

“I can't. She's fucking in love with someone else.”

“You're pathetic, you know that? No wonder she doesn't fucking love you. Sienna wants someone who can please her and be the man that she wants, not some mother fucking pussy.”

“So, what are you saying? That I'm no good for her? I'm a pussy? Is that it?”

“Yep! And unless you do something about it soon, she's going to walk right out of your life, for good.”

“But I'm not fucking Lukas Dark! She's made it quite clear that he's the one for her. I don't exist as far as she's concerned.”

“Jake! For fuck sakes, man, seriously! The chick probably waited around so long for you to make a move on her and when you didn't, she turned to Lukas the first opportunity she got. And frankly, I don't blame her either. A chick as hot as her needs some male attention in her life, and if you're not giving it to her, then she should move on. You snooze you lose, pal!”

“Piss off!”

Jake shook his head, this was absolutely nuts, he was sitting there having a conversation with himself. Not only was he losing the girl he loved, he was losing his fucking mind, too.

He stood in the kitchen, preparing the dinner as he sang along to Bon Jovi's
Livin' On a Prayer
as it played through his headphones.

A few hours later, Sienna burst through the door, carrying her briefcase in one hand and piles of paperwork in the other. 

“Hey!” She yelled, placing her paperwork on the table and the briefcase by the door.

“Hey!” He replied. 

“Mmm. Deviled Eggs, you know how much I love those,” she was ready to take one when Jake slapped her wrist.

“Don't touch,” he snapped, throwing the dish towel over his shoulder.

“Something smells amazing, what else have you got cooking?”

“Fried chicken with potatoes and Coleslaw. And there's also some Salty Dogs. And for desert,” he opened the oven and pulled out the baking dish, placing it onto the cook top, “Warm Apple Pie. What happened? I thought you were going to call me.”

“I was, but Ivy wanted to pick up Dick, and then head over here. I knew you'd be busy with dinner, so I just caught the train.” He continued shuffling through the kitchen, opening and closing cupboards.”

“Wow, Jake! This all looks amazing.”

“Vamoose! I have work to do,” Jake snapped. 

Sienna smiled, she kicked off her heels and loosened her shirt. 

“What would I ever do without you? I'm going to take a shower before Dick and Ivy get here.” She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. 

“You're amazing, thank you.” She turned and headed for the shower while Jake finished preparing the dinner. 

The table was set and everything was ready. Jake could hear the sound of the water from the shower, after a couple of seconds, he also heard the CD player switch on. He heard Tori's vocals echo through the bathroom, followed by his own. She was playing
his
CD. His smile widened as he walked towards the bathroom, it had been the first time he had ever heard Sienna put on his CD.
