Dirty Secret

Dry

"Rufus, what the FUCK did you put on that thing?" Colt asked, looking disgustedly at the burger Rufus was tucking into. Rufus swallowed before answering, "Everything." Colt reached out and pulled a Pepperoni from the side of his burger, "Did you put a piece of PIZZA on it?!" Rufus nodded, taking another bite, "Was on the table, mate, if it was on the table, it goes on the burger." Colt looked at Nikki, who grinned up at him from her own burger, looking to be dripping with bbq sauce, "Wait." He said, sudden understanding showing on his face, he looked back at Rufus, "You fuckers are stoned as hell." Rufus winked, taking another mouthful of his burger/pizza/god knows what creation, Nikki crammed the rest of her burger into her mouth with a orgasmic sigh, "Need beer." She said thickly, standing up, "Want one, Ru?" Rufus nodded, not looking up from his plate. She walked over to the beer table, opening a cooler and pulling out two cold bottles. She turned, glancing towards one of the fire barrels, locking eyes with Jake, the fire casting a glow on his face, making him look dangerous. Why was he so fucking hot?? She let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding and made her way back over to Rufus with the beer. He was laid back in the lawn chair, a relaxed and satisfied look on his face, "Jonesy to the rescue." He said, taking a beer from her, "Cheers." "Ravnikka, have you met Jake?" She turned to see Justin, obviously drunk, an arm thrown around Jake's shoulders. "We've met, butt fucked him behind the bus." She said, taking a drink from the bottle, Justin gave Rufus a wide eyed look, Jake grinned at her, "Hey, Stixx." She smirked back at him, "Hey stud."  "Hey, they're dry, I told 'em you probably had some." Caleb said, thumbing towards Jake, and winking at her. That sneaky bastard. "Is that right?" She said, crossing her arms, Jake grinned wider, "C'mon Stixx." That raspy voice would be the death of her. "Alright, follow me." She said, turning toward the Hard Knox bus. Justin gave him a nudge, the others whistling and cat calling as he followed her. She climbed on board and headed to her little room, opening the door and  going in. "Whoa." Jake said, looking around, "You have your own room?" Nikki pulled her weed box from its drawer, "Yeah, when we first started touring, my Meemaw raised all sorts of hell because I bunked with the boys." She sit on the bed and began rolling a joint, "Said it wasn't 'fittin' for a lady not to have a private room." Jake eased down beside her, "Oh, are you a lady?" She snorted, "Not even close." He watched her lick the paper and seal it, "Good, I'm not much on ladies." She turned to him, "No? What ARE you much on?" He tilted his head, his eyes slowly looking down, then back up her body, before locking into hers again, "Tattooed drummers. What about you?" She raised an eyebrow, "Long haired guitarists. You want it now, or later?" Jake blinked, Nikki smiled holding up the joint, "The weed, stud." Jake burst out laughing, taking the joint and sticking it behind his ear, "Later, I'm supposed to share it with Sam." She nodded and stood, placing the box back into the drawer, shutting it. Jake stood as well, "I'll have more before we leave tomorrow, I'll pay you back." "Nah, forget it, you can spot me next time I'm dry." She said. Jake held his hand out, "Deal." Nikki giggled, taking his hand, but instead of shaking it, he jerked her close to him, and pressed his lips to hers. It was quick. Soft. Sweet. And nearly made her knees buckle. He pulled away, "Thanks." He whispered, smirking at her. She felt her face flush, "Anytime." He let go of her hand and turned away, walking back through the bus and out the door. Nikki dropped back down to the bed. "Holy shit." She said, taking off her fedora and pushing her hair back, Rufus was going to frea- before she could finish the thought, Rufus stumbled into the bus, she stood up and went to her door, "What are you doing?" He gained his composure, "Nearly went ass over tit." He said, then noticing she was blushing, strode over to her, "Holy shit, Jonesy, tell me everything."
