“Is that so?” Jacob asked feeling like relief was at hand.
“Yep. I bought us two tickets to fly up to the coast and spend a week at the beach. You know, have some time out, and enjoy ourselves. Have sex on the beach… but it will have to wait a few weeks until my bikini sits better. What do you say?” Nikki replied working his crotch harder and putting on a sexy tone.
Jacob thought about it for a moment, the whole idea seeming good because he would finally be able to spend more time with her, and on the beach no less.
“Sounds great. How about we go upstairs and celebrate. That’s a great surprise and I’ve got a surprise in the bedroom for you…” Jacob said with a smile before kissing Nikki passionately.
“Sounds good,” Nikki said between kisses.
“I rolled out the welcome home parade,” Jacob said kissing Nikki again. He began undoing the buttons on her blouse when she pulled away.
“I’m sorry baby, I promised some friends I’d meet them for dinner. Can we do it later? I mean I’ll be staying tonight, if that’s okay?” Nikki said, putting on her best puppy dog look.
Jacob suddenly felt deflated, his frustration levels peaking, but his heart sinking. He didn’t want to get her angry, she just got home.
“Sure, no problems,” Jacob said reluctantly. He figured what were a couple more hours.
“Thanks baby,” Nikki said blowing him a kiss. “Keep your phone on tonight. You might receive some, shall we say, interesting text messages.”
“Lovely,” Jacob said as Nikki picked up her handbag and opened the door.
She lifted the back of her skirt showing Jacob she wasn’t wearing any panties and then blew him a kiss before walking out the door. He stood there shaking his head wondering what had just happened and why he let her go. Jacob figured it was important for Nikki to be happy, after all she was coming home to him tonight, so it wasn’t all that bad.
Chapter 22
Showering at the end of the day was a good way for Jacob to unwind and forget about work. Knowing that someone was probably watching him from outside his windows, and deciding that he wasn’t in the mood to give Mrs Chang another show, he got dressed in his bathroom before walking past his window. Much to his surprise Mrs Chang wasn’t there, which was a welcome relief, since he didn’t want to have deal with her when Kelly was coming over. He had no time for any antics since he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Without having to think too much more about it there was a knock at the door and Jacob rushed to open it.
“Hey come on in,” Jacob said letting Kelly into the house.
Looking as casual as ever in a plain pair of shorts and fitted light blue t-shirt, that matched Jacob’s casual wear almost too well, Kelly smiled and kissed Jacob on the cheek as they greeted one another.
“Hey, how’s it all going?” Kelly asked as they made their way to the lounge.
“Fine… just finished for the day, you?” Jacob replied remembering that he had to put away some of the oils he had been using.
Kelly followed him out to the outdoor massage room and leant against the table.
“Yeah good… feeling a little stiff though, any chance of a massage?” Kelly asked with desire in her voice.
Jacob took notice and turned around wondering if Kelly was joking with him or not.
“Funny… you know that’s not going to happen,” Jacob replied with a smile putting the oils away.
“Why not? I’m good for it,” Kelly said with a smile.
Jacob got up to grab the robe that was on the hook so that he could wash it when Kelly stopped him from going any further.
“I’m good for it… just a small massage. Please?” Kelly said softly trying to show she was sincere.
Jacob suddenly felt nervous, the desire in Kelly evident and unlike her at any other time. He could feel her wanting to touch him, their bodies wanting to engage but their minds stopping them from acting. He looked into Kelly’s eyes and could see longing, something was there that he hadn’t noticed before.
“Kel, I… it’s not a good idea,” Jacob said slowly moving away to grab the robe.
It tore at him to move past Kelly like that, taking him completely by surprise. He had never felt that way before around Kelly, and if he had, he had never noticed before. Jacob quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts and focused on Nikki, she was the one he should be feeling like this about. He resolved himself to that fact, that Nikki should deserve his attention.
“I’d better throw this in the wash.”
“Yeah, you’re probably right,” Kelly said following Jacob down to the laundry.
She felt a little awkward about the whole situation – it wasn’t turning out the way it had in her head. Kelly tried hard to suppress the emotions from bubbling to the surface, she had to do this calmly so that she got out exactly what she needed to say.
Jacob put the robe down and turned, bumping straight into Kelly who was directly behind him.
“Is everything alright?” Jacob asked seeing Kelly was not herself. He could tell something was up but wasn’t sure what. He could feel her spirit reaching out to him, trying to pull him to her but he didn’t know what to do.
“Yeah fine, why?” Kelly replied her voice going higher. She quickly moved out of the laundry with Jacob following.
“Kel, what’s going on? Has something happened?” Jacob asked wanting to get to the bottom of why his best friend was acting this way.
“No I shouldn’t. Look I should just go,” Kelly replied shrugging before heading for the door.
Jacob quickly grabbed her arm knowing something wasn’t right.
“Kel, come on… this is me here, you can tell me,” Jacob said before Kelly turned around slowly. She looked at him sheepishly and put her hands in her pockets with her nervousness coming through.
“Kel?”
“I… I… is it hot in here?”
“Kel…” Jacob said lowering his voice, wanting to get to the bottom of it.
“Let’s not do this, I don’t want to do this,” Kelly said starting to look worried. Her mind had changed and her confidence was low, this wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. “Let’s just forget the whole thing okay.”
“No. I want to know what’s going on. Please talk to me Kel,” Jacob said, his pleading voice surprising him.
Kelly closed her eyes while letting out a soft sigh, taking a few moments to gather her thoughts. Her mind was racing a million miles an hour trying to put the pieces together and form some sort of dialogue that would make sense to Jacob. For a split second she summoned up enough courage to start.
“It has to do with us… you and me, but I’m afraid it’s going to ruin what we’ve got,” Kelly said reluctantly.
“It won’t,” Jacob said kindly.
His body wanted to take her in his arms and protect her, hold her tight so that she could push through the pain and get out what she so desperately wanted to say. Jacob practically begged her to talk to him without saying any words. He could feel himself reaching for her, but his hands weren’t moving.
“It will!”
“Kel…” Jacob said giving her the look.
Kelly looked away but finally cracked.
“Okay, okay… just promise me you’ll listen.”
“I promise,” Jacob said starting to feel the seriousness of the situation weigh heavily on them.
Kelly took a few deep breaths before composing herself enough to tell Jacob what was on her mind.
“I wasn’t completely honest with you when you first arrived,” Kelly said feeling the nerves build up inside. “About how I felt and what happened when you left all those years ago. But life’s too short to keep quiet any longer…”
“How do you mean?” Jacob asked wondering what was going on. It was unusual for Kelly to talk this way and it had Jacob concerned.
“I wasn’t happy when you left… I mean, I was… heartbroken,” Kelly replied looking almost scared to admit it. Her face scrunched
up when she heard herself say that last word. Why did she have to admit that so soon?
“Heartbroken?”
Kelly relented, nodding at Jacob, hoping it wouldn’t damage their relationship. It was too late now; she had to go for it.
“I was in love with you Jake… not that you knew it. I felt like you were all mine and… not too long before you left I wanted to tell you. I wanted to tell you that I loved you and I wanted to ask you to the high school dance, but you left before I could say anything,” Kelly said letting out a big sigh.
“Kel, I–” Jacob started but Kelly cut him off.
“Please let me finish, otherwise I might never say it. This is my one chance okay?”
Jacob nodded.
“I wanted you to be my first. My first kiss, my first touch, my first lover… but it never happened. I was so devastated that I lost a part of myself. It sounds really stupid and dumb but it’s true. I saw you again all those months ago thinking I had gotten over you but all the emotions just came flooding back. But I want to make myself clear, this now isn’t some high school crush – I’m not some silly seventeen-year-old girl that has no idea. I tried to forget you, but no one measured up, I guess. These last five months have been amazing, I feel like I’ve got a part of myself back – that I’ve got you back… but you’ve got someone else in your life and I didn’t want to let this opportunity pass me by again. I had to tell you how I feel. I love you Jake… I always have.”
“Wow Kel, I… I… that’s a lot of pressure to be under. Those are big shoes to fill, I–” Jacob said but Kelly moved forward and placed her finger on his lips.
“Just think about it,” Kelly said gently kissing Jacob on the lips before he put his arms around her and started kissing her passionately. She pulled him in and returned his affection, showing him she was a grown up woman, full of life and passion. For the first time ever he felt completely safe, overjoyed and scared, all at the same time. He didn’t want this to end, it was timeless. Kelly pulled away and looked longingly into his eyes when the front door suddenly opened. Kelly backed away sharply from Jacob who was still looking at her, mesmerised by what had just happened – Kelly quickly moved so that she wasn’t near him. Nikki walked in with a box in her hands, shutting the door with her foot, unaware of what had just happened.
“Hi everyone,” Nikki said with a smile putting the box down with her handbag.
“Hi,” Kelly said with a smile. “I’ll catch you later.”
“Not staying?” Nikki asked surprised that she was leaving so soon.
“No, I’ve got plans. I just had to return a book Jacob leant me, so…” Kelly replied opening the door. Kelly felt a little deflated that their moment had been cut short, feeling like she was in some cliché movie.
“Okay, see ya,” Nikki said unbuttoning her shirt before heading upstairs and out of sight. Jacob looked at Nikki go up before turning to look at Kelly. He didn’t know what to do, he was completely blown away by the whole situation.
Kelly stopped halfway out the door and looked directly at Jacob.
“Just like I had imagined.”
Chapter 23
It had taken Jacob all day to go and see Tyler, not because he didn’t want to, but because he was having trouble figuring out how he felt, and what to even say to Tyler. His mind was filled with doubts about everything in his life: his friendship with Kelly, his relationship with Nikki, if it was the right thing coming back here to live. His life was on the up, it had been for months – buying the house, meeting Nikki and then Kelly – it couldn’t have been going any better until yesterday. Yesterday, Kelly told him she loved him, and that she always had, hitting a nerve deep within him. When he sat and thought about it, he realised he actually loved Kelly as well – how could he have not seen that before? She complimented him in so many ways, enjoyed the same things he did, was truthful with him and generally shared the same view on life as him. But then there was Nikki, someone fresh that had completely taken him by surprise and seemed genuine. Jacob enjoyed being with Nikki, especially when he got to see her, it was something different. Or did he? Was Kelly the one for him? She did make him feel safe, warm and wanted, but Nikki had an air of excitement about her. But that wasn’t enough.
Jacob felt messed up, his thoughts and emotions all over the place. He needed to speak with the one person he could trust about all of this. The whole car-ride over he hoped Tyler could help him resolve how he was feeling and give him some guidance, even though he was probably scared of the answer. Pulling up outside Tyler’s house he hoped he could get rid of the churning he was feeling inside. Tyler had never steered him wrong before and he was a good friend who had always shared so much of his wisdom with him in the past, helping Jacob get back on his feet. After all he was the one that helped Jacob get into massage, offering his clients to him so that he could earn money and live. Things had worked out well previously, so hopefully Tyler could steer him in the right direction this time too.
Jacob rang the doorbell and waited for Tyler to answer. He knew he was home; his car was in the driveway. There was no answer. He knocked on the door this time and waited a few moments but there was no answer. Jacob then remembered what Tyler said last time about how to just go around the back, so he made his way down the side of the house. He pushed the gate open and started down the side passing by one of the bathroom windows before a bedroom window which was open. He stopped when he heard Tyler.
“Oh yeah that’s it baby… just like that.”
Jacob thought for a moment whether to look inside but opted against it and figured to leave when he heard a familiar voice.
“You like me sucking your cock don’t you?” the female voice asked.
“You’re such a slut Nikki,” Tyler replied with a laugh.
Nikki!
Jacob quickly looked in the window and saw Nikki sitting on the bed in front of Tyler, both of them completely naked. She had a big grin all over her face and was playfully biting Tyler.
“You bet I am,” Nikki said moving back up the bed. “I think I’ve figured out that I prefer chocolate to vanilla.”
“I bet you do…” Tyler said crawling up the bed to get on top of Nikki.
“I want you to cum all over me, my tits, my pussy… all over,” Nikki said sexily, her fingers doing the talking.
“You think that’s a good idea? Jacob might find out,” Tyler said running his hand over her body.
“Jacob will never know,” Nikki said as Tyler began passionately kissing her. He pulled away and then moved down between her legs. “I waxed that for you. I know you like it that way.”
“Mmmm, I’m loving those big tits of yours too baby,” Tyler said with a smile before devouring Nikki, causing her to throw her head back.
Through muted breaths she spoke. “I… got… them… done… for you.”
Jacob had heard enough. Quickly he grabbed his phone, turned on the camera and started recording some of it so that he had proof. Once he had a good twenty seconds of footage Jacob quietly left the scene, heartbroken at the revelation. He was shocked to the core that Nikki had done all of these things for Tyler, and slept with him behind his back. Jacob started to feel numb as he started walking back to his car, unsure of what to do. How could he have been played like this? By Tyler and by Nikki? What was it all about? Why couldn’t she just come and tell him that she wanted to be with Tyler? Jacob didn’t have the answers but he needed to go home, take the time to think it all through. Perhaps him being a sensual masseuse had caused the problem? Right now he didn’t know but what he needed to do what think it through, then speak with Nikki.
Chapter 24
Jacob sat on the steps to the middle level of the house looking at the front door of his abode waiting for Nikki to arrive home. He knew she’d be home after he sent her a text message asking what she wanted for dinner and got one back saying a salad and that she’d be home around six. His anger started to build, rising above him like a dark cloud filled with lightning. No
matter which point of view he looked at it from, about why it had happened, the answer kept coming back that it shouldn’t have happened. Not like this, not ever. How could she have done this? He tried his best to calm down so he wouldn’t blow up too early – instead he wanted to wait and see what Nikki said when she got home.
Thankfully he didn’t have to wait any longer. The front door opened and Nikki appeared wearing her requisite white blouse and blue corporate skirt all tucked in and in place as if she had just gotten dressed.
“Hi baby,” Nikki said with a smile, putting her handbag down inside the door. “What a day, I’m stuffed.”
“I bet. Busy?” Jacob said standing up and moving into the kitchen.
Nikki followed him in while unbuttoning her blouse.
“Yeah, I got hammered. You?” Nikki asked pulling her blouse from her skirt.
“Pretty quiet today actually,” Jacob replied with a non-committal nod.
“Well, I’m going to grab a quick shower before dinner… then I’m all yours,” Nikki said moving towards the stairs.
“Why bother? Is that so I won’t know?” Jacob asked his tone changing dark.
“Know what?” Nikki replied turning around doing her best no idea look.
“How’s Tyler?” Jacob asked crossing his arms in front of him.
Nikki’s demeanour turned angry. “What are you talking about?”
“Are you trying to wash off Tyler from your skin? How long have you two been going at it?” Jacob asked his tone getting darker.
“Excuse me! I have nothing to do with Tyler!” Nikki said with fire in her eyes.
“So I went around this afternoon to talk to Tyler, let myself in down the side and you know what I found…?” Jacob asked pulling his phone from his pocket.
Nikki looked at it and swallowed hard before going back on the offensive. “What are you accusing me of?!”
“You’ve been sleeping with Tyler! Why!?” Jacob asked his voice booming through the room. “Don’t deny it I’ve got video proof!”
