ONE MONTH LATER
They were back on the road again now. Jacob’s recovery had been phenomenal. He now had an occasional problem remembering thing but it wasn’t a constant problem. It only happened once in a while. When he had built his strength back up to where he was able to perform to his full extent again, the tour was back on. They picked up at the venue where they had left off and went from there. Everyone who had tickets for tickets from Salt Lake City on were allowed into the concerts with those same tickets as their original dates had been unexpectedly postponed due to Jacob’s sudden accident. Fans were very supportive of him and his return. Everyone was glad he was alright and he suffered little lasting damage.
“Here Jacob,” said the girl who was now in the dressing room for the after show meet and greet at the Sante Fe venue. She was holding out a teddy bear for him. It had a black bow and held a little get well card was clasped in its hands. “I wanted to go to Salt Lake City and give it to you, but my mom wouldn’t let me.”
“You could’ve mailed it to our fan club,” Jacob said in return as he took the stuffed animal from her. “They would’ve forwarded it to the hospital. That’s how all the other fans’ gifts got to me.” He smiled at her and she looked a little embarrassed that she hadn’t thought of it. “Thank you anyway for your support. It’s been such a comfort to know I have so many fans out there who care about me.” She smiled at him briefly.
“Well, when it got out that you had suffered head trauma, all the fans were afraid. We tried to do everything we could to pray for you and hope that you got better and you did. My school even held a pep rally fundraise thing that was specifically for you’re support to get well. There are a lot of people in my school who are major fans of yours Jacob and we got really worried when we heard about you.”
Jacob smiled at the girl again. He reached into a bag he had sitting at his feet and pulled out a thin piece of paper. “Here, just for that, I’ll give you this for free.” She couldn’t tell what it was because he held it in his lap and his knees were up in the chair he was sitting in. He pulled a black sharpie out of his pocket and took the cap off. Looking up at the girl he asked, “What’s your name?”
“Candyce,” she said, “Candi for short.” He nodded and looked back down at the picture. Writing out her name, he scrawled a short message, CANDI, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT THE POSITIVE WILL HAPPEN AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART. YOUR DREAMS WILL ALWAYS COME TRUE IF YOU DO. Then he handed the paper to her. It turned out to be a very nice photo of himself. It was full body. He was barefoot and standing in the ocean. He had a bandana around his head and another around his wrist. His guitar was held in one hand and he had no shirt on. Water was dripping down his chest and for once he was smiling. “Thank you,” she said. “But fans always get free autographs back here so why did you act as though it normally cost money?”
“Because, that particular photo does cost money. I don’t like taking pictures so that’s a rare shot. If a fan wants it, they have to pay our company twenty dollars for just the photo and fifty for the photo with an autograph. I’m giving it to you for free as a thank you present. Enjoy and take good care of it because you’re not getting another one.”
“Alright, I’ll take special care of it, thanks again.” She blew them all a kiss and hurried out of the room. The Mikes entered after she had left.
“Well guys, that was the last one, time to get back on the road.” They nodded and got up. Gathering their dirty clothes, they got up and left the venue.
“Where’s Alyssa?” Trevor asked. “I haven’t seen her since the start of the show.” Ashley, Dan and Erik shrugged. Jacob looked at Trevor and frowned.
“She went back to the bus after she performed, said she wasn’t feeling too well. I think she just got a little overheated tonight. Bree went with her. I don’t know about you guys but to me the lights seemed brighter than usual. I’m still a bit hot and I’m feeling light headed.”
“I feel hot but that’s it,” said Ashley. “Your light headedness must be due to the accident. As for Alyssa, she’s not used to having the lights played a little brighter than usual so I don’t blame her for feeling ill. We were like that too the first couple of times the lights seemed to be brighter than usual. But I do agree that they seemed that way.”
“It’s because the lighting crew is testing out new lighting equipment,” said Mike C. “Your usual lighting is about to go out so they’re working on finding replacement lighting. I’ll let them know that the lighting they used tonight was over bright and they need to find something else.” The guys nodded their thanks as they all climbed aboard the bus.
Bree was seated at the small kitchen table when they entered the front of the bus drinking hot chocolate. She waved to them and pointed at the counter where five more hot steaming mugs sat waiting for them. They smiled in a silent thank you and went over to collect their mugs. Trevor sat down at the table next to Bree and Jacob sat across from her and next to Trevor. Ashley and Erik plopped on the floor and Dan sat on the couch. Jacob looked at Bree and watched her for a moment. He took a sip of his hot chocolate.
“How is she?” he asked. Bree smiled warmly as she set her own mug back down on the table.
“She’s doing better, much better. She thinks she got a little dehydrated. She said it was hotter out on the stage than usual. She took a shower, drank a couple of bottles of water, and went to lye down. I haven’t seen her since. I think she may have fallen asleep.” Smiling, Jacob set his mug on the table again and got up. “Where are you going?”
“To check on her.” He looked at Trevor and gave him a wink. Trevor blushed deeply and looked down at the table. Jacob gave a small chuckle and disappeared into the sleeping area.
The first thing Jacob noticed when he got back there was that Alyssa’s bed curtains were closed. Whenever she wasn’t resting or when she wasn’t in the bunk, she usually left them open. That meant she was still there lying down at least if not asleep. Starting to walk down the aisle towards her bunk, he jumped when a hand grabbed him around the leg. He looked down to see Sukari sticking her head out of her bunk.
“Where do you think you are going?” she asked looking up at him with suspicion.
“I’m going to check on Alyssa,” he said coldly. Although he had been in higher spirits since his recovery from the accident, his attitude toward his backup dancer hadn’t changed. She had been disappointed when it didn’t.
“I wouldn’t if I were you. She’s in a bad mood. She told me not to let anyone bother her, especially you.” If not for that last bit, Jacob would’ve almost believed her. She was a pretty damn good actress which made him think maybe she should be doing that instead of trying to make as a dancer. It would get her out of his hair. He smirked down at her.
“Nice try,” he said. “I’m not going to fall for that. If you are trying to make a fool out of someone, you’ve got the wrong guy.” He reached down and smacked her hand away from his leg gently. Then he continued on his way to Alyssa’s bunk, never looking back.
Jacob reached the bunk and knelt down in front of it. He gently pulled the curtain back and smiled at what he saw. Alyssa was lying on the bed in her pajamas, her eyes shut, one hand up by her face. The blanket was pushed down at the end of the bed and the pillow was off to the side. Her hair was in a ponytail that was flopped aside as it spread out in space around her.
He sat there just looking at her for a moment. Then he got the sudden urge to do something, something he didn’t know why he did but he had to. He leaned down and gently kissed her lips, his eyes fluttering shut although it was a brief kiss. As he pulled back, Alyssa’s eyes slowly opened. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back.
“What was that for?” she asked sleepily. He laughed a little. “The kiss I mean.”
“I know what you meant. I did because, I don’t know, I just felt like it, it was a sudden urge. You see what you do to me? Here I am, trying to be the rebel I’m known to be and disclose myself from you and yet I find myself drawn to you instead. Why is that Alyssa?”
“I don’t know. Maybe something in your mind is telling you it’s the right thing to do. Whatever’s going on, it feels right to me and I don’t want it to stop.” Without warning, she pulled him onto the bunk and pulled the curtain shut.
“What are you doing?” he asked, a smirk on his face.
“Playing a game.”
“And what game would that be?”
“I call it, hide Jacob from everyone else.”
“Oh you do, do you?” She nodded, a big smile on her face. “And now that you’re hiding me, what are you going to do to me?”
She thought for a moment. “This!” she finally said. She brought her arms up around his neck and pulled him down, pressing their lips together. Jacob willing returned the kiss as his hands pressed down on the bed on either side of her. Her hands went up into his dreads and she softly tugged on his hair. She didn’t want to pull to hard for fear that she might hurt the tender spot on his head. He moaned softly against her mouth and he could feel her smile against his.
This time was different than before for Jacob, this time it felt right but he wasn’t scared. After what Janie had caused to happen to him, he wanted nothing to do with her. He didn’t even have feelings for her as a friend anymore. When Erik finally told him what his brother had pointed out, that had just made Jacob more furious with her. He had blocked her number on his phone so that she couldn’t call him and he wouldn’t have to change his number. But none of that mattered now, all that mattered, was Alyssa.
Although Alyssa was lying down on the bed Jacob’s hands found their way underneath her and down to the small of her back where they wrapped tightly around her and pulled her close. This time, she was the one who moaned. Her hands left his hair and found their way down to the hem of his shirt and she pulled it up over his head, their lips parting only long enough for his shirt to come off. Her hands began roaming his bare back and he moved his attention to her neck, placing hot soft kisses up and down it and suckling on it softly. He nibbled on her ear and she moaned again. Smiling against her skin, he kissed his way down to shoulder, placing soft kisses all along it.
Alyssa smiled at Jacob’s kisses down her neck and along her shoulder. Eager to feel his lips on hers again, she brought her hands back up to his face and pulled his head up, bringing their lips back together. He parted his mouth and Alyssa let her tongue slide in. She moaned as he messaged her tongue with his. She gasped as his hands found the hem of her spaghetti strap pajama top and slid it up, slowly sliding his hands against the skin underneath. Again, they parted only long enough for the shirt to come off. Jacob smiled a devilish grin when he saw that she wasn’t wearing a bra underneath. “What?” she asked breathlessly.
“You’re not wearing a bra.” She smiled and playfully shoved him in the stomach.
“I’m ready for bed, of course I’m not wearing a bra. I never wear a bra to bed. I’ve been told that it’s not good because it could cause breast cancer.” Jacob gave her a curious look.
“Really?” he asked. She nodded. “I didn’t know that.” She laughed.
“Whatever, it’s not important right now,” she said as she pulled him back to her again. Jacob’s lips left her mouth and trailed down her neck again. This time, they made their way down her chest until they reached one of her perfectly puckered nipples. He raised his eyes at her and grinned before leaning down and taking the hard pink bud in his mouth. She gasped and moaned as he slid his tongue over her nipple. Her hands reached down and undid his belt. She pulled it out with one tug and looped it over her head. Seeing as he was still occupied with her nipple, she got an evil grin across her face and slapped the belt across his back. Jacob’s head shot up with a look of pure ecstasy and pleasure. She noted that he liked it and slapped him again. He let out a loud moan. She smiled in glee and went to slap him again but he reached back and caught the belt.
“Now, now, we don’t want to be too loud do we,” he said mischievously, gently taking the belt from her and tossing it on the growing pile of clothes at the far end of the bed. He kicked his shoes off and they fell to the floor. Being the talented man that he was, he kicked his socks off too and they fell, landing on top of his shoes.
“What would happen if we were too loud?” she asked, working her hands at the buttons on his pants.
“Someone might hear what’s going on and come walk in on us. We don’t want that now do we?” She shook her head. “Good,” he said, reaching down under the bed and pulling a fresh towel from underneath.
“What’s that for?” she asked as she succeeded in getting off his pants and tossed them onto the pile.
“For you to hold in your mouth and clench your teeth down on. I’m pretty good at what I do and I don’t want anyone to get suspicious. The towel will stifle any cries or moans you let out,” he replied, rolling the towel up as thin as he could and handing it to her.
“Good idea,” she said, placing the rolled up towel in her mouth. She worked down his boxers, revealing his manhood and her eyes went wide. He smiled devilishly at her.
“What? You never pictured me to be this big before?” She shook her head. He laughed and his hands gently slid down both her pajama bottoms and her underwear at the same time. He smiled at her naked body, thinking it was so beautiful. Then he moved away briefly to prepare himself. She watched him as he skillfully and naturally put the condom on. Then he returned to lye on top of her. “Are you sure you want to do this?” She nodded.
Placing his hands on either side of her again and bringing his mouth back down to her neck, Jacob slowly and carefully entered her. He went slow at first and then started to gradually gather speed until his thrusts were quick and hard. At this pace it didn’t take long for her to arch her body up and let out a cry that was stifled by the towel as she reached her release. Not long after, Jacob reached his own release. He collapsed on top of her breathing heavily and shutting his eyes. After a few moments he removed the towel from her mouth and got up.
“Where are you going?” she asked. He looked back at her.
“I’m going to put this towel in the laundry and take care of this.” He indicated the condom and peeked out of the curtains. Seeing that no one was coming, he opened the towel and wrapped it around his waist. Then he slid out of the bunk and silently crept back to the bathroom, grabbing a pair of his boxers and sweats from his bunk on the way.
While she waited for him to return, Alyssa quickly put her pajamas and underwear back on. She didn’t want anything to look suspicious if Bree came back to check on her. She could hear the low hum of the engine and new they had pulled out onto the road. Seeing Jacob’s clothes still in a pile on her bed, she grabbed them and stuffed them under the bed. Then she laid down and shut her eyes, pretending to be asleep just in case.
A few moments later, Jacob returned. He was wearing sweats and he looked as though he had washed up a bit before getting into pajamas. He climbed back onto the bunk and lay down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled up against him. He kissed her on the forehead and watched her eyes flutter shut as she drifted off to sleep. Jacob smiled before shutting his own eyes and falling asleep too.
