Six Years Earlier


I went out with my friends Lisa and her fiancé Ben to a concert. We had tickets to see a band that we had all loved for many years. Ben was an actor and knew a lot of important people and managed to get us backstage to meet the band. I loved this band for so long and couldn't believe that he was getting us backstage.

We enjoyed a short meet and greet and were just standing around talking when Ben heard his name being called from across the room. He spun around to be greeted by a guy wearing all black. I don't know why, but he looked so familiar to me, I just couldn't seem to place him. His beautiful blue eyes were dazzling and it was safe to say that he was easily the sexiest guy that I had ever laid eyes on.

I looked at Lisa and mouthed, "He's wearing eyeliner!" She smiled and nodded. Lisa interrupted their conversation to introduce him to me and I learned that his name was Jared and apparently, he was also in a band. He stood talking to Ben for a few minutes and then turned to converse with me. "Kristen, beautiful name for a beautiful girl. You like this band?" He asked like he was in shock.

I giggled, "Are you kidding? I love them!"

"You have good taste," he winked. "Maybe Ben can bring you to see my band. I promise you will have fun. I will personally see to it that you do." He promised, granting me a sexy wink.

Ben smiled, "We will certainly bring her to the show. It's this weekend, right?"

Jared smiled, "Yes, Saturday night. You should definitely bring her." He turned to me. "I look forward to seeing you there." I began to shake slightly as he slipped his arm around my back. He was a huge flirt from what I could see and I blushed at the attention he was showing me.

Ben looked over at him, "We will. See you soon Jared. We are getting out of here now before it gets crazy with the traffic outside." They shook hands and he tugged at the fabric of my blouse.

He leaned in closer. "You have a great night Kristen and I'll see you this weekend."

"Sounds good." I replied as I was walking away. Turning back to see him still looking in my direction, I waved goodbye. We got to the car and Ben was telling me all about Jared's band. He then played a song, telling me that it was Jared's band. It sounded vaguely familiar, but as it played I knew that I had heard it before.
Saturday arrived much faster than I was prepared for and I was nervously excited. Ben managed to get us right there in the front row and I couldn't wait to see Jared.

They finally took the stage and I glared at Lisa, "You didn't tell me that he was the singer!"

She laughed, "I thought you knew that."

I really didn't know anything other than the fact that he was in a band and his name was Jared. He looked so amazing, maybe even more so than the last time I saw him. He stood right in front of us as he looked down, getting right in my face, and began singing to me. He wore all white, the exact opposite of the last time I saw him. I couldn't take my eyes off of him the entire night. He was so full of energy and the crowd was going crazy.

When it was over, Ben got us backstage. We waited to see him with all of the other fans with backstage passes. When he finally came out, he was immediately bombarded with his security and crew. The line of people waiting to see the band was insane. They patiently talked to each and every fan and eventually we finally made it closer. Jared and Ben talked for a few minutes before he grinned at me, "Did you enjoy the show?"

I smiled, flirting right back. "Yes, I did actually. It was great. I had no idea that you were the singer."

He stood swaying back and forth with his hands behind his back. He was so attractive and I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. He liked black clothing obviously. The black eyeliner really set off those baby blues and surely mesmerized every female in the room. Someone called his name and as he turned, I glanced down at his perfect ass. Sadly, he turned back around too soon, catching me checking him out. God, that was embarrassing!
Ben said that we would be leaving because he had an early morning meeting. Jared leaned in asking if I'd like to stay for the after party. Lisa nudged me and I nodded my head, "Sure! That sounds great."

Shortly after, we slid into the back seat of a waiting car and were taken to a private party at a bar. There must have been at least seventy people inside that were part of the crew and some close friends.

He stepped away, only to return with a drink for me. Standing with his arm around me, he continued flirting and asking me questions about myself.

During the night, I had a few drinks, but I didn't allow myself to get drunk. We had fun laughing and talking about his obsession with the color black and he picked on me for my taste in movies. I was completely unaware that he was also an actor.

The party ended close to two am and he said that he would make sure I made it home safely. He continued to tease me and I realized that maybe I was a little intoxicated.

He even walked me to my door, saying that he was worried I may fall, but I was perfectly capable of doing everything myself. We got to the door and he hugged me tightly, asking politely if he could see me again. I gave him my number and as I turned to go inside, he pinned me to the door. Pressing his lips to mine, he kissed me so forcefully, that I had to stop myself from dragging him inside my apartment.

The way he held me to him, the way he bit my bottom lip before pulling away, and God.... the way he rubbed his body against mine was fucking with me long after he left.

I didn't hear from him for two weeks and when he did finally call, he asked me to have dinner with him. We dated for a few weeks, but didn't have sex right away. Not that he didn't try like hell, I just wasn't that kind of girl.
