1.34 Jake's Birthday

Advisory: Some adult scenes 

Kirsten burst into Jake's bedroom like she did every year on his birthday, "Happy birthday little brother." Jake sat up still tired and replied, "Morning sis." Jake wasn't one for celebrating his birthday but this birthday was different he had a girlfriend and he was hoping Kay had got him something. However he did love Kirsten's enthusiasm for his birthday since he could remember she'd always been like this. "Are we having our annual birthday breakfast?"

"Yes we are so get dressed." This birthday breakfast was always just the two of them regardless of who was in their life not even their parents were allowed on this outing. It was a way to catch up and air anything that was on their mind.

Jake got dressed and made his way to Kay's room. He knocked the door but there was no answer. Jake opened the door to find her room empty, he closed the door feeling a little upset she wasn't there so made his way to meet Kirsten. She was outside waiting for him and he asked, "Have you seen Kay?"

"Kay left for the hospital an hour ago for a class. She did say to tell you that she would see you after class. I did tell her that you are going out with Andrew and Matt."

"Kirst, I was thinking of spending time alone with Kay."

She didn't say anything as they made their way to a table for breakfast. "How are things between you and Kay?"

"Our second date was a disaster because of what happened at the engagement party, what a bad night."

"It wasn't that bad."

"Oh really sis. How was that?"

"Well you and Kay didn't argue. The bad vibe was Debbie causing trouble for Matt and Hazel and oh never mind."

Their food had arrived and Jake asked, "And what Sis?"

"Remember when you walked in the kitchen when Andrew and I were talking?" Jake looked at her as she continued, "Andrew proposed and I said yes." Jake was in shock, "When are you getting married?"

"We haven't set a date and I didn't tell you sooner because we wanted to keep it to ourselves for a little while, plus it was Matt's and Hazel's engagement."

"Set the date soon as I want to be an uncle." Kirsten pulled a face and said, "Slow down there. I didn't mention children."

"You can't lie to me. I know you want kids."

"Let me get married first." As she smiled at her brother, "You like Kay a lot I can tell. Could she be the one?

Jake sighed and replied, "All I know is I like spending time with her. I wish I could spend more time with her though. I hate her being at university only because I don't see her much."

"Jakey, it will work out in the end because it will mean you will both have good jobs."

Matt asked Andrew, "Where are we going tonight?"

"Lucky dive or we could go to the casino. What do you think?" Matt looked at him and replied, "Casino and I take it we will be buying birthday drinks?" 

Daniel walked in and asked, “Is it ok to come in and is Jake around?” Andrew ushered him in, “Jake’s out with Kirsten.”

“The birthday breakfast?” Andrew nodded and asked, “How are you doing?” Daniel didn’t say anything when Jake and Kirsten walked in. 

Kirsten hugged her Dad, “Are you ok?”

“I’ve been better.” After Kirsten released her Dad. 

He walked to Jake giving him a hug shocking everyone including Jake, “Happy birthday, son.” They walked outside and Jake asked, “Dad you look like crap.”

“Thanks, I miss your Mum.”

“Dad…” Daniel interrupted him, “I didn’t come here to talk about your Mum and me. It’s your birthday and I wanted to give you your present.” Jake didn’t want to press the issue about his parents not yet anyway so asked, “So where is my present?”  Daniel asked Jake to follow him and when they got to the car Jake said, “New car?”

“It’s your car, Jake. Your Mum and I agreed on the gift before we spilt.”

“But I don’t understand? I mean thanks.”

“We are so proud of you getting the job at the fire station we thought you deserved it.”

Jake was in shock, “I hit you…” Daniel interrupted him.

“I deserved it, I was mad at the time but you stuck up for what you believed in and for that I am proud of you.” Daniel asked Jake to drive them to a local park, when they got there Jake asked, “What are we doing here?”

“Do you remember when you were younger we used to play football?” Jake smiled and replied, “I remember the only difference is Mum and Kirsten aren’t here.”

“They used to come towards the end if you remember bringing drinks and snacks. I know it’s a bit different but you don’t mind playing for a while with me?”

“I wonder if you are as good as I remember.” 

Daniel smiled at his son and said, “Let’s see then.”

Kay saw Jake had finally got back as she watched him enter his room. She calmly knocked his door and walked in. Kay was upset when she saw Jake past out on his bed she tried to wake him but he was fast asleep. Kay made her way back to her room in tears. She had planned this night for two weeks, ready to give herself to him but instead all she got was a boyfriend who drank too much. 

Now the upset had turned to anger so she quickly got changed picked up the outfit that was going to be his gift and stormed down the hallway to Jake’s room. Kay opened the door threw the lingerie at him with his birthday card and left. Matt past her in the hallway and she gave him a stinking look. Matt just looked at the floor as he had made sure Jake was plastered. He was afraid of Kay getting hurt and thought if she slept with him that Jake would walk. It had occurred to him that maybe he had gone too far but hoped this meant Jake would show his real intentions towards Kay.

The alarm woke Jake at 7am and he was trying to hit the clock to stop the noise as his head was thumping but all he could feel was silk as he scrambled to hit the button. As he was opening his eyes he felt the silk material and his first thought was, ‘Please tell me Kay is lying next to me.’ Then he could smell Kay perfume as he pulled the material closer but when he looked over the bed was empty. Then he had flashbacks of last night. A texted had come early evening from Kay, ‘Happy Birthday, I hope you are having a good night with the boys. Don’t forget I have your birthday present here missing you, Kay xx.’ He had tried to make excuses to leave but the drinks kept coming. He remembers getting home with the boys almost falling downstairs then crashing out on the bed.

He heard a voice but he thought it was his dreams now he suddenly realised that it was Kay’s voice he heard and she must have been wearing this. ‘I have to sort this out and fast.’ Jake thought as he jumped out of bed getting dressed. He looked at the labels on the lingerie and decided to make it up to her. He ran up the stairs and saw Andrew, “Mate, what’s the rush?”

Jake ran past Andrew and shouted, “If you see Kay, please keep her here. Can’t explain in detail but I fucked up big time. Please just distract her.” He didn’t hear Andrew respond but Jake was on a mission. Jake had spent an hour at the lingerie shop looking for the perfect outfit to make it up to Kay as he now had her sizes. He ran down the stairs and knocked on her door.

Kay opened the door and asked bluntly, “Have a good birthday?”

“Kay, can I come in?”

“I’m busy packing my things as I’m on campus for two weeks.” Jake heard alarm bells when she said that and in a panicked but firm voice, “I thought you were coming home every night after classes?” He walked past Kay into her room, “Come in why don’t you.” 

Jake just looked at her, “I was but I changed my mind.”

“Look it wasn’t my idea to get drunk like that and…” trailing off and thinking fast, “I saw the lingerie you left very nice but I think it would look better on you.”

“It might have done but you’ll never know now, will you?”

Jake looked her in the eye and said, “I know you are mad but before you say anything else please accept this gift as an apology.” 

He handed her the gift and at first she looked suspicious at Jake but when she opened the gift and saw what was inside a smile crept across her face, “What’s the catch?”

“No catch, promise. I felt after seeing your gift to me and I’d ruined the surprise. I just needed to make it up to you.”

She hated that he only had to just look at her and she was starting to cave, “But it’s not your birthday anymore.”

He kissed her and replied, “I think it is because I haven’t got my final and most important birthday gift, you.” Kay nervously bit her lip thinking what they could be doing right now, “Well after you went to the trouble of buying this nice new gift, how can I say no? You will have to leave.”

“Why?”

“If it is still your birthday then I have to put the wrapping on too.” Jake was now in shock and as calmly as he could say, “See you in my room?” Kay just smiled at him and replied cheekily, “Are you still here?” Jake bolted from the room and waited patiently for his present to arrive.

Jake kept rubbing his hands with nerves. Something about this moment felt different and he couldn’t work out why. Normally when he pulled and had sex with a woman it was just that a raw and meaningless fling. The thought of Kay made him feel things that were new, his stomach was knotting itself and now to add to catalogue of feelings his palms were now sweating. ‘Great now all I need is to touch her with my sweat and she’ll run.’ As he thought this he quickly ran to the bathroom to wash his hands and try and calm down. He then heard, “Jake, are you in there?” He suddenly thought, ‘Shit she is at my door.’ 

He opened the door and calmly but softly said, “Wow you look…sexy as hell.” Kay stood in the doorway and asked, “Are you coming then?”

Jake’s face lit up as he walked towards his room and replied, “Give me time but if you look that good underneath I doubt the coming part will be a problem.” Kay rolled her eyes with a smile and cheekily replied, “I never meant it like that.” Jake closed the door behind him and with cheeky tone said, “But I did.” 

He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, “I’m really sorry about last night and if I knew what my gift was believe me when I say I would have come home sooner.”

Running her hand across his cheek said, “You are here now.”

Jake turned Kay around and softly kissed her back, he traced her back with his fingers making his way towards the zip on her dress. He slowly unzipped the dress and as the dress opened he began to kiss each part of her bare skin following the zip. Once he started to see the lingerie he continued to kiss the silk material, "Do you have any idea what you’re doing to me Jake?"

"I have a good idea." The dress fell to the floor and Jake glided his hands over each of her shoulders planting a kiss on each one. Kay bit her lip as she leaned into him. She began to lift her head up meeting Jake’s lips feeling the tender touch with every kiss. Jake then whispered in her ear, “Now can I see my gift?”

Kay nodded with a faint moan, she reluctantly pulled away from Jake to turn around, she stood in front of Jake slightly nervous at being looked at but at the same time the desire to have Jake was building, for them to be close. Jake admired his gift as she stood there, removing his top and throwing it to one side. 

He stepped closer and tilted her head up slightly by the chin and kissed her gently and stated, “I love my gift.” Kay put her arms around his waist and asked, “Are you going to remove your gift?”

Jake ran his hand through her hair as he said, “There is plenty of time for that. So what did you have in mind?"

"Anything, birthday boy." This was like a dream come true, no girl had said anything to sex before. Jake thought for a moment and decided to test that anything remark and if she said no then he would accept that. The thought of having Kay this way drove him crazy. He could feel his trousers suddenly getting too bursting point and these was only thoughts as he hadn't done anything yet.

 Then he pressed his finger to her lips and Kay’s mind started racing, ‘That chest of his is…oh crap I’m feeling his chest tense as my hand runs across it. I think I want him, I think I need him. This is crazy I’ve known him as my boyfriend for two weeks and I think I’m actually in love with him. Shit no it can’t be not him, if I tell him he’ll run. I must not say anything to him but please just take me now before I go out of my mind with desire for you.’

As Jake looked into her eyes his heart was melting and all he could think of was how much he loved her but how he couldn’t tell her, not yet anyway. Kay removed her panties and threw them at him with a smile. Kay turned her back on him asking, "Can you kiss my back again?" Jake started to kiss her back trailing his hands downwards. As he glided his hand underneath he felt how ready she was. The more he played Kay's body convulsed in excitement and a moan escaped her lips. He wrapped his other arm around her waist and with a gentle tug she fell to the floor resting her arms against the bed.

Jake unzipped his trousers and gently entered her from behind, anticipating to hear a no but there was none. Jake softly said, “I want you Kay.”

“I want you too.” Then Kay moaned and in a slightly heightened voice said, “Oh my...that's it." Kay began to scream louder in pleasure, "Faster." 

Jake couldn't believe this was happening and decided to go with it. He pushed harder and faster holding her tighter while stroking her breast. Kay slammed her hand on the bed, "This feels good." Jake leaned forward and kissed her cheek and whispered, "This is the best birthday gift, thanks."

Kay screamed louder as her pleasure intensified and after a few minutes she asked trying to keep her voice steady, “Are you going to remove the lingerie?”

Jake teased her cheekily, “We have time.” Kay slammed her hand on the bed again, “I can’t take much more…remove it now,” but Jake had never had a birthday like this and wasn’t about to give in so quickly. 

He pulled her onto the bed and flipped Kay around so she was facing him and holding her in place asked, “Why the rush?” She looked into his eyes and said, “I’m almost there and can’t take it anymore.”

“Kay your eyes are lying, now tell the truth or else.” Kay thought, ‘How can he tell I’m lying?’

“What do you mean?” 

Jake got up and zipped up his trousers and was about to walk away when Kay shouted, “Jake Decker you get your butt back here right now.” He turned back towards Kay and replied, “The truth, Kay.” He watched as she breathed in and out watching her chest go up and down and thought, ‘Shit Kay, come on tell me. You are driving me wild.’ 

She got up and jumped into his arms and started to kiss him, “Kay, tell me.” She again looked at him and said, “I was telling the truth before but I left out one part…” Then she became silent.

“Kay!”

“I love you.” 

Jake threw her onto the bed and removed his trousers and climbed on top of her, “What did you just say?”

“I love you.” He re-entered her and as he touched her breast she moaned in pleasure as she reached her climax, as Kay’s moans got louder Jake thought, “Shit she loves me, I mean really loves me but what do I say? I know I feel the same way but why can’t I say it? Shit I think I’m going to finish…No not yet I want more of her, I can pace myself…Umm no I can’t, Kay what have you done to me?’

After a few minutes Kay got up and Jake turned to her and asked, “Where are you going?”

Kay was frustrated that he hadn’t said I love you back but the way he had acted during their love making he had to feel the same way but she knew he needed time so she stood there and stripped of the lingerie and stood there for a moment. Jake didn’t know where to look. He had imagined many times what she would look like naked and as she climbed on top of him Jake held her but lost his balance as he was too close to the edge and they both fell to the floor. 

Jake asked if she was ok and Kay answered with a smile, “I’m fine. I can’t believe we did that.” Jake pulled Kay on top of him and looked into her green eyes and said, “I love you too, Kay.” Then they carried on making love for the rest of the day.

Thanks Karima for your help on some pictures J

1.33 After 10 years

Spencer dumped his bag in Matt’s room. He freshened up then left without finding Matt to say he’d arrived. Spencer made enquires to find out what time Tracy finished. At first they wouldn’t tell him but after he turned on his charms the new receptionist told him she finished at 5pm. He parked the car at 4.30pm and waited outside. 

As the clock neared Tracy’s finish time Spencer’s stomach was knotting up at the thought of seeing her again after all this time.

When his watch read 5 o’clock he became more anxious and started just looking at the doors then his watch said 5 minutes past five and he started thinking, ‘Come on Trac, what’s keeping you?” Finally it was ten minutes past and the thought that he may have got it wrong or missed her made him panic slightly. Suddenly he heard her voice as the automatic doors opened; he stood against the wall and watched her as she came into sight. 

She was as beautiful as he remembered, her voice was like music to his ears and those eyes he could just drown in. As Tracy went past he remembered his original pick up line and even though it was lame even back then, it got her attention and a date. He wanted to make their reunion pleasant rather than horrible. “Cute ass.” Tracy froze on the spot while a million thoughts raced through her mind, ‘I know that voice. It can’t be Spenc, it just can’t.’ She turned around staying glued to the spot and saw the man she had only ever loved and then she said, “That was always a bad pickup line.”

Spencer stepped forward a little and replied, “If it’s so bad why did it get your attention twice?” Tracy heart was pounding as she looked at Spencer, “I hear you are engaged?” He ignored the question, “Have you helped Mathew?”

“Yes and he saw me…” Tracy stopped as she couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence. “Can we talk, Tracy?” She became nervous and wondered why he would not say he was engaged. Suddenly she started to fidget; Spencer tried to step closer towards her but nervous at what she might do if he came any closer. Tracy blurted out, “I have to go. I hope you and your fiancée will be very happy.” She struggled at first to get into her car but managed to get in before Spencer reached her. He ran to his car and started to follow her then he said to himself, ‘Talk to me god damn it. We need to talk.” He saw her pull up at a house and waited till she was at the door. 

He ran across the road up her drive and shouted, “Tracy we need to talk.” She didn’t turn around but said, “Please Spencer just go.”

“I need answers.” Tracy still facing the door, “Just go, please.” She walked inside shutting the door behind her then slid to the floor. 

Spencer knew this trick of hers all too well and sat the other side of the door and said, “I’m not leaving until we talk.” He heard her cries through the door, “What do you want to talk about, Spencer?”

“I tried to find you for a few years to apologise about everything. I should never have done time. I should have got a job and put my family first but we were young and the naïve me thought I knew better.”

“I thought you loved me and wanted to make a life together? Do you know all I ever wanted was to be your wife and a mother?”

“I know; I messed up. I should have stuck to the bar work I’d gotten when I came out. I still love you.”

“What is she like?” Spencer heart was breaking, “Why do you want to know?”

“Well this woman achieved something I never could, a ring. She must be extraordinary to get you to propose. Do you have children with her?”

Spencer sighed, “She is a great person but I keep putting off setting the date” 

The door opened and Tracy walked out trembling and softly asked, “Why won’t you set a date?” Spencer got to his feet and quickly Tracy firmly said, “Keep your distance.” Spencer replied, “You are the reason. When I finally knew where you were something inside just felt right but I needed to confirm this by seeing you face to face.” Tracy started to fidget again, “You aren’t free as you belong to another.”

“I’m going to break it off because knowing my true feelings are with you, I can’t marry her. It would be unfair to her.” 

She walked back inside and Spencer followed her, “Are you seeing anyone?” Tracy shook her head and answered, “I have no other children either.” Spencer got even closer to Tracy, “Please you need to leave.” He ignored her and asked, “Tracy how do you feel about me?” She closed her eyes and her mind was screaming, “Hold me, kiss me and that will tell you how I feel. When she spoke she replied, “You still belong to another so we can’t discuss this.”

“Stop saying that please and tell me.”

“If you mean what you say then do the right thing by your fiancée and sort things out there.” Tracy knew he had to do the right thing and if she let him kiss her then she would be allowing him to commit adultery and this was something she strongly did not like, people who cheated on their partners. Regardless of how she felt she wanted him free before she would admit the truth. 

Spencer left the house longing to stay with Tracy but as always she was right, he had to do the right thing. When he turned around he saw Paris standing there and thought, ‘Shit she followed me.'

“Who is she? How long have you been seeing her? Matt was just an excuse to see her, wasn’t he?”

“The woman is Mathew’s Mum. This is the first time I’ve seen her in ten years and Mathew has never been an excuse.”

“I saw the way you looked at her; you are in love with her, aren’t you?” Spencer didn’t need to say anything as it was written all over his face. 

Tracy had heard raised voices and looked out of the window and saw a woman shout at Spencer, ‘She must be his fiancée. She doesn’t look happy.’

“Can we talk somewhere else?” Paris was furious and said, “No.” 

She went and banged on the door. Tracy opened the door and let her in and Spencer mouthed sorry as he followed behind. “I’m Paris, Spencer’s fiancée and you are?” Tracy hated arguing and began to feel very uncomfortable, “I’m Tracy, Mathews Mum.”

“How long have you been seeing my fiancée?”

“Paris, he turned up at my door 30 minutes ago, we spoke then he left.” Paris decided to come clean, “When you said you were leaving to see Mathew instinct told me you were lying. I followed you and saw you talking to her outside the hospital then you got in your car and came here. The way you look at her,” 

Paris sat down and continued, “You’ve never given me that look. I have often wondered why we were engaged for years. Most people get engaged and start planning their wedding but no, not us. We don’t even have a place of our own as we still live with Heather. 

Tracy went to leave by the front door but Paris followed her and demanded to know, “Do you love him?”

“I don’t think I should answer that.” Paris yelled, “You are going to answer because I need to know the truth. Now do you love Spencer?” Tracy buried her head in her hands and through tears shouted, “Yes I love him, happy now. I’ve never stopped but he’s with you now and nothing has gone on between us because I hate cheaters.” 

Paris turned to Spencer and asked, “Your look outside told me but I want to hear you say it out loud, do you love Tracy?” Spencer started to fidget, “Paris, please…” Paris yelled at him, “Don’t lie to me now.”

“I love her with all my heart, I have done since the day I first saw her.” Paris had tears streaming down her face and quietly asked, “Did you ever love me?”

“I still do but not in the way you deserve. I never wanted to tell you like this.” Paris held back the tears long enough to say, “I saw it with my own eyes and I can’t be the one that stands in the way of what you really want. I’m very hurt and upset but I’ll get over it.”

“I hope you find someone, Paris.”

“I will one day and hopefully he will look at me like you look at Tracy. Take care of Spencer, Tracy.” She looked at Paris without saying a word and watched Paris leave. 

Spencer went after Paris and said, “For what it’s worth I am sorry.” Paris just got into her car and drove off without looking back.

Spencer went back inside and smiled at Tracy. She softly said to Spencer, “I feel guilty; you find me and in one day all hell breaks loose.” Spencer just nodded in agreement as couldn’t answer her. As he looked around her home he asked, “I don’t mean to be rude but your furniture is basic. You have a good job, why?”

“Did you ever see the joint account?” Spencer looked puzzled and shook his head. “I have been paying a 1,000 in there every month since I left for Mathew’s upbringing.”

Spencer replied, “I used some money from the account for a few months until I got a job but never checked the balance. I took your name off the account but never looked at it again. Mathew is an adult now are you still paying into the account?”

“He’s my son and I felt guilty so I paid most of what I earned into the account.”

“How much do you earn, Trac?”

“1,750 a month, I pay bills, feed myself then pay into the account. You have never touched it?”

“Not for about nine years, shit Trac, you have lived on the bread line for our son? Most people who pay maintenance pay if the kid is lucky, a 100 a month.” Tracy got really upset, “I just felt bad and thought I didn’t deserve a good life after leaving. The only person I’ve dated is you.” Spencer was stunned, “You mean you’ve never…since us?”

Tracy just nodded without saying anything. “Wow, I thought you would have had…” Tracy finished his sentence, “Slept with someone else? No, the last person was you ten years ago. I have been asked out but refused every guy that’s asked.”

“I treated you so badly…” 

Tracy sat next to him and replied, “You never treated me badly, Spenc. I just wanted you home instead of in prison. That was why I left not for any other reason. What happens now?”

“That is up to you. I’ll stay if you want me too.” 

Tracy got up as she couldn’t look at him, “You know how feel about you but Mathew needs to know what is going on. I can’t lie to him or hide things from him. You need to talk to him.”

“No Trac, we need to talk to him.”
