Rocking Esme (The Rocking Series Book 1) (16 page)

Jackson

“Hi.” I said as I rolled over in bed and saw Esme wide awake.

“Hi.” She replied, almost shyly.

“Are you ok?” I asked her, a little worried that maybe she regretted what had happened last night as she was very quiet.
She nodded and looked away, so I put my finger under her chin and lifted her face so she would look at me.

“Are you sure? You’re very quiet?” I asked again.
She didn’t answer straight away, I was beginning to worry.

“Yes, no, I’m fine. Honestly.” She said, she looked a bit happier when she said this, I leant forward and gave her a kiss and pulled her into my arms. Then I said to her;

“Shall we shower and then go out for breakfast?”

“Okay, that sounds nice.” She said. She was running her finger over the sleeve tattoo on my arm.

Once we were up, showered and changed, which took longer than expected after another round in the shower, we headed out and down the road to The Coffee Bean.
When we arrived, we got seated at a small round table by the window.

“Here’s the menu, I will give you a few minutes to decide.” The waitress told us.

“Thanks.” I said to her, then opened the menu to decide what to have.

“Jax?” Esme said, almost hesitantly.

I looked up to see her looking at me, she had a worried look on her face, so I reached across grabbed her hand and began running my thumb over her knuckles and asked if she was ok.

“Um... I don’t want to... Um... Ok, I’m just gonna ask... What was last night for you?” As she spoke, she blushed and looked away.

I turned her face back to me and said; “Amazing, is what it was, I’ve wanted you for so long.”

She seemed to hesitate again but continued; “But, where do we go.....” She got cut off by Cindy, who appeared at our table. She looked at our joined hands. Esme pulled hers away and looked down.

“Jax? What are you doing here, with her?” Cindy asked, looking at Esme with disgust. Where did she get off talking to my girl like that?

“Cindy, have you met Esme... My girlfriend.” I said and as I did, Esme’s head shot up and stared at me open mouthed, like she wasn’t believing what she was hearing.

“Girlfriend?” Cindy screeched.
I nodded at her and told her to leave as we were enjoying a nice breakfast together. I then signalled for the waitress to come and take our order.

“Ok, what will it be?” The waitress asked, looking at Esme.

“Can I get a white coffee, scrambled eggs on toast and a side of bacon, please?” Esme ordered. The waitress then looked at me, I smiled, politely. “The jumbo breakfast, please.” The waitress nodded and went off to place our order at the kitchen.

“Jumbo breakfast?” Esme asked giggling.

“Yeah, I’m starved, really worked up an appetite.” I told her and winked.
We fell into an easy conversation as we ate our breakfast, and as we were about to leave my phone rang.
I answered it with “Hey, man.” It was Rick calling me.

“Oh, shit. Completely forgot… Yeah, yeah, be there in five.”
I hung up the phone, looked over towards Esme who had walked away to give me privacy on my phone call. She was so sweet and caring like that, if that had been Cindy she would practically have had her ear to the phone too.
“Es? I’m sorry, baby, I completely forgot we had a meeting with our manager this morning and I’m already twenty minutes late. I have to run.” I explained to her.

“Oh, ok. Sure, no problem.” She said to me.
I pulled her close and gave her a big loving kiss that would have her thinking about me for the rest of the day. As I cuddled her I said, “I’m sorry, but will see you tonight?” She nodded her head and pulled me closer.
I broke away from the cuddle after a couple minutes, kissed her again, turned around and ran down the road to my meeting.

Esmeralda

I made my way home from The Coffee Bean as Jax ran down the road towards his meeting. I wasn’t mad that he had to leave; I was disappointed, I had hoped to spend the day with him. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and decided to ring Marcy.

“Hello.” She answered.

“Hey, Marce, you ok?”

“Yeah, are you?”

“Yeah, just ringing to catch up… Um… Jax stayed over last night.” I held the phone away from my ear in anticipation of the outburst that I knew was about to erupt from Marcy;

“OH MY GOD!” She screamed loudly. “Don’t say anything else, I will be there in ten minutes.” She then hung up.

I walked around the corner to my place and as I started walking up the steps, I heard a car horn blasting. I turned around to see Marcy pulling up. I waved at her and unlocked my door, I walked in and left the door open for her.

“Tell me everything.” She said as she walked through the door.

I rolled my eyes at her and said; “Hi Marce, how are you? Do you want a drink?”

“Yeah, coffee, I suppose. It’s too early for cocktails.”

“Marce, it’s eleven o’clock!”

“Oh, so not too early?”

“Yes, it’s too early.” I shook my head at her and she sat down at my kitchen table. I made the drinks and walked over to her, sat down and started drinking my coffee.

“Oh my God, you’re killing me, tell me… Did you sleep with him?”

“Yes, we slept in the same bed.” I giggled at her, I knew I was annoying her but it was fun, I took my time and replied to a text message I had.

“Esme, did you have sex? Have you finally lost your v card?”
I blushed and nodded. Marcy screamed and I tried telling her to be quiet.
“How was it?”

“It was… Ok… Nice.”

“Ok? Nice? Did it hurt?”

“Yes, it hurt… Why are you asking me this, you’ve done it.”

“Oh, honey, I lost my v card so long ago. I remember it hurting and I wasn’t in a rush to do it again.”

“Well, that didn’t last long.” I laughed. “It was better this morning…”

Marcy cut me off; “This morning? You did it twice? Weren’t you sore?”

“Yeah, a little bit, but if you saw Jax naked in the shower, you wouldn’t be saying no.”

“Oh, you done it in the shower. Bet that was fun putting the condom on, onto his wet, you know.”

“Marce, don’t talk about his, you know… Oh my God.” I was beyond blushing, my face felt like it was glowing.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“We didn’t use a condom, either time.”

“Esme! Did he pull out?” I shook my head. “Shit, you could be pregnant!”

“No, don’t be silly. I’ll be fine.”
Marcy was about to argue with me when her phone rang.

“Hey, baby… Yeah… Yeah… Ok. Great. See you soon.”

“Everything ok?” I asked.

“Yeah, I’m gonna go meet Rick for some lunch. I can’t believe how well this is going, I never thought I would feel like this for a guy… I don’t know what I’m going to do when he leaves for the tour. I’m gonna miss him so much… Are you going to go with Jax?”

“Has Rick asked you to go?”

“Yeah, but I can’t leave Dad to run the gym by himself for that long. So are you going to go?”

“Jax hasn’t even mentioned the tour to me yet, I only know about it as Rick told me.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t worry, Marce, we’ll be ok, it’s only for a few months, right?”

She nodded and then she got up and said she had to go, she hugged me and I walked her out.

Marcy turned back towards me and said; “Hey, come with us.”

“Don’t be silly, I don’t want to gate-crash your lunch date.” I replied, though I was tempted as I needed a distraction from sitting around and thinking about Jax all day.

“Don’t be silly.” Marce said, grabbing my hands. “Rick loves you and he was only saying the other day how he doesn’t get to see enough of you.”

“I will only come with you on one condition.”

“What? That I’m paying?”

“No, that we don’t discuss my sex life in front of Rick and if you succeed, lunch is on me.”

I grabbed my coat and bag and we headed off to lunch.

Jackson

I headed to Rick’s; I was late as I had completely forgotten about the meeting with the band. I didn’t really want to go as I didn’t want to leave Esme.
Ten minutes later, I walked through Rick’s front door calling out; “Sorry I’m late!”

“It’s about time, man.” Rick said, looking up from some music paper.

“I know, I know, I just lost track of time.” I told him.

“Track of time? What you been doing?” Will asked me.

“He was with Esme…” Rick began and Frank cut him off saying.

“Really? Good for you, bro.”

“Stunner!” Will commented.

“Hey, hands off this one.” I said chuckling. The guys all burst into laughter and I was glad, it broke the ice a little more.

“So, we were just discussing The Dome gig we’ve got coming up.” Rick told me.

“Ok, great. I’m looking forward to it… It’s gonna rock if it’s anything like the last time we were there.” I told them and they all agreed.
We were discussing the gig and talking about the playlist we wanted to perform, when Saskia came out of Rick’s spare room.

“Hey, look at you.” I said to her as I got up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Thanks, I’m off out.”

“Where you going?” Rick asked her and I noticed that she rolled her eyes at him.

“Just out.” She told him.

“Oh, out? Where Saskia?” Rick said more sternly to her.

“I’m just meeting up with someone.” She said as she made her way to the door. Rick stood up and blocked her path.

“Why you being so secretive?” He asked her, being a mixture of protective and playful.

“I just don’t wanna discuss it, especially with you… Shouldn’t you be working? I interrupted your meeting.” She was trying to get around him and he wasn’t moving.

“Come on, man, let’s get this meeting done. I got pussy waiting for me.” Will said.

“Have fun, Sas, don’t do anything we wouldn’t.” I called out to her as she left.
The guys were discussing songs and I got lost in thoughts of Esme. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and texted her

Trying to concentrate on Flix, but can’t get u out of my head x

It didn’t take long for her to reply

Me too. Gonna lose myself in my new rocker book x

Hope it makes you think of me. Will ring you later x

Was thinking of you anyway. Ok, speak later x

“Yo, Jax.” Frank called out. I snapped my head up and looked at him and said;

“Huh? What?”

“Stop grinning and concentrate.” Rick said, slapping me on my back.

“What? I can’t be happy?” I asked them and Will said;

“Wish you’d met her years ago – never seen you smile so much, not even on stage.”

“Thanks, man.” I said to him as we did a knuckle punch.

“Right, let’s get back to it.” Rick said. “Oh, wait, need to call Marce real quick.”

Will and Frank groaned, they didn’t know what it was like to have a need to speak to your girl so much or make plans with her. I knew exactly how he felt.
When Rick got off the phone we got down to business. 

Esmeralda

Help! I don’t know what to wear! x
 I texted Marcy; we were going on a double date tonight at The Fortune Cookie. I had pulled out everything from my wardrobe and couldn’t find anything I liked.

Don’t panic I’m on my way with a dress for you. x

Thank you x

Ten minutes had passed when Marcy walked in the door; “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

“Thank God, bring me the dress.”
Marcy handed me the dress and I said to her; “Seriously? You brought me this?” She handed me the little silver dress that I wore to the club on the first night I’d met Jax.

“Yep, he is gonna die when he sees you in this.”

“What are you wearing?” I asked her. She opened her coat and showed me that she had a tight little purple dress on.

“He ain't gonna notice anyone but me tonight.” She said to me winking.

“Marce, when you are around, he never takes his eyes off you anyway.” I told her as I nudged her with my shoulder.

“Yeah, you’re right.” We both laughed and I grabbed the dress from her and went and changed into it.

“Well?” I asked as I twirled on the spot.

Marcy just screamed and said; “You look HOT!”

“Ok, calm down. Let’s get going.”
We were meeting the guys at the restaurant, so we left my place and made our way to Marcy’s car.

Jackson

Rick and I were sat at the table in The Fortune Cookie waiting for our girls to arrive, they were already ten minutes late and I suspected that was probably Marcy’s fault.

“They’re here.” Rick said as he stood up to greet Marcy. I did the same.

“Hey, babe.” I said as I helped take Esme’s coat off.

“Hi.” She said, kissing me gently.
I took her coat off and the waitress came over to take them to hang them up.

“Wow… You look amazing… I remember this dress.”

“You do?” She sounded shocked that I’d remembered.

“Of course…” Then I leant in closer to her so no one else could hear me and whispered; “It will look even better on your bedroom floor later.” I winked at her and she blushed, then she put her arms around my waist and buried her head in my chest so no-one could see.

“You ok?” I asked.

She nodded and giggled. “Shall we just go home now?”

“Don’t tempt me, babe, don’t tempt me.”
I pulled out her chair for her and we sat down and ordered our drinks.

“Me and Jax were talking about the gig at The Dome on Friday night…” Rick started telling the girls when Marcy cut him off.

“Yeah, we are so excited, backstage passes and everything.”

“Yeah and not to mention that we are now girlfriends of two guys out of the hottest band around.” Esme said.

“Yeah, that too.”

The waitress then arrived at the table and took our food order.

“Are Danni and Kate coming to the gig too?” I asked them.

“Yeah, they are really excited to see Will up there.” Marcy told them.

“Will?” Rick asked, confused.

“Yeah, they both like him… It’s funny really.” Marcy laughed.

“Really? I don’t think he even knows.” Jax said.

“Oh, let’s set them up.” Marcy squealed excitedly.

“Uh, Angel, set him up with which one?” Rick asked.

“Oh… Um…. Well, which one do you think he would go for? What’s his type?” Marcy asked.

“Anything in a skirt and female.” Rick said, laughing.

The waitress arrived with our food and we all dug in, it was the quietest I’d ever known Marcy to be.

“So, which one?” Marcy asked again.

“Maybe it should be Kate as she has been hung up on my brother for so long...” Esme started to say but she got cut off by Marcy.

“Yeah, but Danni had that bad relationship a few months ago… She needs the distraction.” Marcy said.

“Maybe we should just tell Will they are both interested and let him choose.” I said, shrugging my shoulders.
Esme nodded and agreed with me and we changed the subject.

“It’s been such a great night. Thanks, guys.” Esme said as I draped my arm over her shoulders.

“Better than the last time.” Marcy laughed.

“Yeah, at least Jax is talking this time.” Rick said, slapping me on the back.

“Ha ha, very funny, guys.” I said as I turned to Es and asked; “You want dessert, babe?”

She leaned in close to me and whispered in my ear; “I think I would like dessert at home.”

I cleared my throat and said; “We are going to head home… Shall I get the bill?”

“You guys go ahead.” Rick said, smirking at me. I grabbed some money out of my wallet and handed it to Rick as I asked the waitress for Esme’s coat.

“See you later, Marce.” Esme said as she hugged her best friend and gave Rick a kiss on the cheek.

We left the restaurant and made our way to my car, I opened her door and helped her in. As we were making our way to her place, I kept my hand high on her thigh. She turned in her seat slightly towards me and that made my hand slip in between her legs and she gasped.

“Jax…” She whispered.

“I know, baby, we’re nearly home.” I said to her as I ran my fingers over the outside of her panties and could feel just how wet they were. I could feel my trousers getting tighter and I just wanted to get her home. A few minutes later, we pulled up. Neither of us wasted any time in getting out of the car and indoors. As soon as she closed and locked the door behind us, I grabbed her, threw her over my shoulder and walked to her bedroom.

I placed her on her feet and pulled her dress over her head. She immediately went for my belt as I pulled my shirt off over my head.

“Babe, I need you.” She said, quietly. She unhooked her bra and slipped her panties down her legs, she then crawled onto the bed as I stepped out of my trousers that were around my ankles. I climbed up over her and ran my finger over her pussy, she was soaking wet and ready for me.

“I love that you are ready for me.”

“Please, Jax.” She pleaded and I wasted no time, I slipped into her with ease. We both groaned together, she felt so amazing and tight.
I ran my hands over her thighs and pushed them up towards her chest so I could slip in further, she gasped and that spurred me on. I began thrusting, faster and harder and the noises coming from her drove me wild.

“I’m going to…” She screamed out as her orgasm tore through her and I followed quickly behind her as I was filling her.
I collapsed on top of her, trying not to squash her. I rolled to the side and pulled her with me, and we both fell asleep, cuddled up with me still inside of her.
