We Didn't Know

"Bye Kelly, love you!" she yelled halfway up the driveway. Stunned at what just happened Kelly could only wave. Seeing the dumbfounded look on her face Anna laughed and then turned to Nick to once again slide into his arms. "So warm... I could stay here forever." His strong arms holding her tight as if he didn't want to let go just as much as her.

"Thank you for tonight." She said slowly looking up to meet his gaze. "For what?" he said giving her a cheesy grin. Playfully hitting him on his chest, they stood there for what seemed like forever to them, but only a minute had passed. "Call me tomorrow?"

"Eh maybe." He replied, earning him another hit. "Okay okay please, I can't take anymore. I promise I'll call you." Leading her the rest of the way to her door they said goodnight and Nick returned to his truck where Kelly was patiently waiting for them to finish. The next stop came very quickly as the two drove in silence each lost in their own thoughts. Opening her door Nick helped Kelly out of the truck and gave her a quick hug. Kelly smelling his shirt and feeling the outline of his back muscles, almost forgot to let go. Saying goodnight, Nick finished the short drive home still processing how his night went from being dragged to a formal to kissing his best friend... twice. As he practically fell into bed, sleep took him rather swiftly.

Lying in bed Anna couldn't help but replay the night's events over and over, almost trying to convince herself it wasn't a dream. "His lips were so soft... his chest was so tight and warm." Her thoughts drifting further south made her blush just a little and she was soon fast asleep with a smile on her face.

The next day

Nick

The sun shining brightly through the crack in the curtains awoke Nick from his deep and very interesting sleep, grabbing a tight-fitting black tee and some sweatpants as he made his way from the guest house to the back of the main house. About to knock, he stopped and just opened the door leading into the kitchen remembering both his parents weren't home.

Well, his adoptive parents. Nick was adopted when he was 3 but had no memory of his parents before then. He had been in the system for two years before being brought to his new home in Kentworth, a small but very nice town just outside the main city. His mom, Alyssa, a hospital director and his dad, James, a CFO for a major shipping business in the city were often gone for a few days at a time so it wasn't a surprise when they both let him know they were leaving and wouldn't be back until Wednesday the following week. Walking out to the front lawn with a cup of coffee he looked around at the neighborhood, his house definitely wasn't the biggest or nicest, but it was special because he was part of the crew that got to build it. It was a three story four-bedroom house that had a finished basement divided into two offices for both his parents. Out back was an in-ground pool which Nick was responsible for cleaning and last but not least, the guest house. When Nick turned 16 his parents asked what he wanted and he simply said, "I want to build my own house."

So that's what he did.

After 5 months of framing, painting, and finish work it was done. A one floor building with a large bedroom and bathroom, a sliding door that led from the bedroom directly to the pool. Nick had also sectioned off half the building for a music recording room and a garage/workshop.

Not wanting to work construction for the rest of his life he started spending most of his time in the workshop dismantling and reassembling broke computers and other electronics, he felt like he had a purpose and a passion.

"Passion."

The word searing into his mind caused him to think of last night. The kiss, emotions flooding back to him, he thought of her. Their parents knew each other and thought the two of them would be great friends considering they were both adopted, and it would be nice to have a friend who knew what you were feeling, and it worked. In 4^th grade Nick hit another kid that had been making Anna cry and he held her until she calmed down, this was all it took. From then on, they were inseparable, they were best friends.

"Best friends." Those words hit him like a semi.

"What did I do...? What if this changes everything?" Panicking Nick ran around the house back to his home away from home to grab his phone. "Shit shit shit." Not knowing if she was up yet or not, he hesitated. His finger hovering over the call button, his heart stopped briefly as his nickname for her came up on screen.

"Fuck she's calling me." Putting the phone up to his ear, "Hey." He answered. "Hey?... Hey??!! That's the best you got?" Worried he was being way too casual he started to speak again, but Anna beat him to it. "Hey" she said in a smooth, kind tone that would make any man weak. Giggling, she beat him to it again, "You free to swim a little today?"

"Yeah, that would be awesome!" Replying a little too quickly. "I mean yeah. You know I'm sure I got some time, and we can hang out."

Laughing at his obvious nervousness she decided not to taunt him about it. "Okay, I'll be there shortly."

"Shortly?"

Realizing he needed to shower and clean the pool he quickly got to work, finishing just as he saw Anna's car pull up. Forgetting he was still shirtless from cleaning the pool and they had just kissed the night before. He ran up to give her a big hug lifting her off her feet before he felt her smacking his back. "Nick you're soaked, you big jerk let me down!" Stepping back Nick noticed the large wet spot he had left on her shirt, meaning to apologize he stood there with his eyes closed and his hand on the back of his head, offering her an apologetic smile. Laughing at how silly he could be, she grabbed her bag and headed towards the guest house. Anna had been there countless times and knew where everything was, heading straight for his bathroom she began changing into her swimsuit. Nick, already wearing his shorts, stood in his room leaning up against the slider when she came into the room. Letting his jaw drop, he took in the sight in front of him. Anna had pulled her long brown hair back into a ponytail, she was wearing a slightly less modest bikini than normal. The top being a size or two too small made her already perky breasts look like they were trying to break free. Her long sleek abdomen quickly widened at the bottom to her incredible waistline and an ass that had almost swallowed what little bottoms she had on. Seeing what she was doing to him she did a spin giving him and even better view of her tight perky ass begging to be squeezed. Walking over to him she flipped her hand over and lifted his chin with a single finger, giving him a wink, she grabbed her towel and sauntered over to the pool glancing back over her shoulder. "Are you coming or not?"

Not needing to be asked a second time he ran after her catching up right before she dove into the pool. Standing at the edge of the pool looking down he saw her swim back over to where he was before she reached up and pulled half of her body out of the water, past the edge. Nick couldn't help but watch the water roll down her smooth tan neck and onto her chest. With his excitement continuously growing, he jumped into the water hoping she hadn't noticed. Surprising him as he came up for air she placed her arms around his neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, and leaned her head onto his chest. Holding her like this Nick realized she could feel every inch of him getting harder right against her ass. He expected her to move once she could feel it, instead she let herself sink lower sliding even more of him between her legs. Moaning slightly against his chest she closed her eyes and embraced his touch, which only served to make him harder. Not able to take any more, Nick reached down for her face pulling her up into a deep passionate kiss, their tongues fighting for dominance, dancing into each other's mouths. Giving into her emotions she reached down between her legs and started to rub her hand along his shorts, gently squeezing his shaft. Lost in feelings of ecstasy neither of them noticed Kelly walk in though the side gate of the yard.

"Well, hello there love birds." She said waving at the two. Unsure what she saw they quickly let go of each other. As if what they were doing was wrong...

Anna stepped out of the pool to greet her friend, who was wearing an all-white two piece that covered more than normal, Nick still sporting his boner, decided it would be best to stay in the water for a few minutes, so instead he gave her a wave and a smile back. Although it was very common for Kelly to stop by unannounced if she wanted to, Nick secretly wished he could have had a little longer before she showed up. Anna somehow hearing his thoughts looked over to him and gently bit her lower lip while Kelly was distracted by finding a lotion bottle in her bag. Seeing the look she gave him, he sighed.

"Guess I need to stay here a little longer."

His erection now back again full force, Nick continued to lean onto the pool edge while the girls took turns applying the lotion. Kelly was first, laying down on the lounger face down. Wasting no time Anna began to warm some lotion between her hands and started at Kelly's feet. Taking in every second of the two girls, Nick couldn't help but notice how attractive Kelly really was.

Her petite frame was made even more cute by the fact she was only 5'7 sun-kissed blonde. Her small figure was accented by her tight ass. Even though it wasn't as big as Anna's, it was still very noticeable. Nick got an eye full of her surprisingly large boobs as Anna was finished with her back allowing Kelly to flip over so Anna could do her front. Not hesitating, Anna started to work on the front of her slender legs. Kelly closed her eyes as Anna got to her bikini line. She moved her hand to Kelly's lower stomach spreading more lotion around and even letting her pinky disappear into Kelly's bottoms for just a second.

Nick could swear he just saw Kelly bite her lower lip as she began to breathe deeply, obviously affected by Anna's roaming finger. Stopping just short of Kelly's breasts she handed the bottle of lotion to her to finish her front. Giving her a mock pout, Kelly took the bottle and finished covering her cleavage and neck.

Anna, assuming the same position Kelly did, squealed and shot her a playful frown as the cold lotion was being poured directly onto her back.

"You can be so rude you know?"

Kelly just laughed. The silence broken, Nick snapped out of his trance and tried to focus on anything but the two gorgeous girls in front of him. Swimming laps and then floating on his back for about an hour, with his ears under the water he barely heard the splash on the other side of the pool, seconds later his eyes shot open as he was pulled under the water. Reaching around trying to find the unlucky girl that dunked him, he felt a pair of hands on his head followed by a pair of legs on his shoulders, standing up and judging by how light she was, he knew it was Kelly. Once she was fully above water, she realized she had climbed on him backwards, practically rubbing her mound on his face, she sat there unsure what to do.

Opening his eyes Nick found himself staring directly at the bottom of Kelly's bikini, losing his balance he sent them both back into the water. Coming up for air all they could hear was Anna dying of laughter in the shallow end. Completely unfazed by what had happened, Kelly joined her and started to float around the pool. Embarrassed, Nick went to the edge to climb out and start on some lunch, trying to forget today's events.

Grabbing his towel and telling the girls his plan. He made his way into the kitchen to see what he could make. Growing up with parents who were often at work late or gone on work trips, cooking became a passion of his, quickly growing tired of frozen meals and canned food. Looking into the fridge he sighed, there was almost nothing there. He grabbed some chicken he had set in the fridge the day before, pushing aside an old bottle of juice, he found sour cream and an onion. "How convenient." He chuckled. He could make one of Anna's favorites. Grabbing some potatoes and starting the stove top he began cooking.

Anna

Swimming for another twenty or so minutes after Nick went to prepare lunch, she got out to dry off and check on him. As soon as she opened the slider door into the expansive kitchen the smell hit her nose causing her to close her eyes and sigh. "This smells like heaven." Opening her eyes to watch Nick slide through the kitchen without a care in the world. She could have watched him all day but then a thought flooded her mind and before she knew it, she dropped her towel and quietly walked up behind him, making sure he wasn't holding anything sharp she spun him around and practically jumped on him, her legs wrapping around his waist. She felt his hands rest on her ass supporting her weight with ease. Without hesitating they both leaned into a frenzied kiss like two lovers that had been kept apart for years.

Nick walked over to the slider, still carrying Anna, which was out of sight from the lounge chairs where Kelly now laid. Nick locked the door to ensure they wouldn't be interrupted this time. Nick reached up to put his hand behind her head to pull her deeper into his kiss, Anna let her hands roam across his muscles feeling them tighten under her touch only adding to her already manic state of arousal. Sliding his hand down her back he grabbed her ass and started massaging causing Anna to pull away from their kiss and moan.

"Oh fuck, I can't believe this is happening, I want him now. I need him."

Feeling her thoughts flood his mind he increased his efforts by finding the strings of her top and pulled, letting her amazing chest bounce free he started kissing down her neck and stopped at her collarbone. Lost in pleasure Anna could do nothing but let him have her. Taking his time to slowly leave a trail of kisses down to her boobs, he circled a nipple until finally taking it into his mouth. Rolling it around with his tongue and gently nibbling, causing Anna to get even louder.

Fully immersed in each other, Anna was the first to hear the timer go off "Nick, honey the sauce is going to burn." She said pulling him up into a kiss gentler than the first. Breaking the kiss but still being held up, she leaned her face to his ear and whispered, "I'm really fucking hungry."

Almost dropping her from the fit of laughter he burst into, he gently set her down and went to finish lunch while she collected her top.

A few minutes later the pair came back out to the pool deck with plates of chicken and drinks. "Well, that took a little bit, didn't it?" Kelly said, eyeing the two with a lustful grin.

Laughing it off the three ate and talked for another hour before Kelly got up and said she needed to finish some stuff at home. Saying their goodbyes, Nick and Anna watched as she got in her car and drove away. Before she even made it out of sight, Nick was holding her in his arms, peaceful standing there it felt like her world had completely changed for the better. Gently swaying with each other, the sun fading behind the trees, and the crickets singing their song. Looking up at him Anna uttered three words that would greatly affect her life. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said almost knowing what she was going to say. "Come on, let's go get cleaned up. You can't be late for dinner with your parents."

Not wanting to leave his arms she just nodded and followed him back to the guest house. Taking turns, they both showered and while Nick got dressed in comfy clothes, Anna slipped on an elegant black dress that covered most of her legs. Her parents were very strict about dressing nice for dinner growing up and it stuck with her. Stealing one last kiss before she had to go, she collected her things and Nick walked her to her car opening the door for her, but before he shut the door, he leaned into her ear and whispered, "I'm fucking hungry." Playfully hitting him away she just shook her head and drove away.

The rest of the night was uneventful compared to earlier, unable to stop thinking about it Anna zoned out the rest of the evening until she found herself in bed thinking of him.

Nick

Feeling too many emotions at once, Nick headed back to his room, the thought of taking her in the kitchen dominating his mind. Falling onto his bed he racked his brain for an answer, "How do I get her back here?" Letting his mind do what it wanted he thought about how it felt to hold her in his arms, the taste of her skin. Not able to think about anything else, he drifted off to sleep, reliving that moment in the kitchen.

The following day

Throwing his alarm clock across the room for putting an end to his dreams, Nick rolled out of bed to start his routine for the day. Quickly showering and throwing on a set of work clothes, he ran out the door with a piece of toast haphazardly hanging out of his mouth and jumped in his truck. On the drive into the construction site, he sighed deeply, most days were actually pretty nice but today wasn't going to be one of those days, today he was working on the roof. Nick was what the guys called a truss flyer, which meant he was the one person strong enough to move the trusses by hand but also not afraid of heights. Today Nick would be lifting the trusses, strapping them to the crane, and then riding the truss up over the trees to make sure it wasn't caught by any wayward branches and then to guide it down onto the roof, from there the rest of the crew would attach it and he would ride the strap back to do it again. Normally this wasn't a problem but today it was going to be a much larger crane with a much higher path over the trees.

Pulling into the site he unloaded he gear, got strapped in, and went to look for the building plans. Grabbing them and a radio to talk to the crane drive, he stopped in to see his uncle and the crew. They ran a small but highly experience crew of 6, everyone was standing around waiting for him before heading down to the house. Any time Nick was going to ride the crane his uncle wanted to say a prayer, not religious but still appreciative, he always joined in. The guys all said good luck before hopping in another truck and shuttling down the hillside, disappearing behind the trees blocking the lake.

"It's going to be a windy one today." A voice came from behind Nick, and he turned to see the driver grabbing another radio, testing to make sure they worked.

"I'm sure it won't be too bad." Nick said grabbing his knife and starting to lift the first truss. The day started to go relatively smoothly with only a few getting stuck on the tops of trees. Coming back on the strap Nick was set down on the ground to grab another. "Only three left, thank fuck." The wind had picked up making the ride more stressful each time. Having the ground below you go from 30 ft to around 100ft after clearing the trees would make anyone's stomach drop, even though it was thrilling it was still very scary. Loading up the next, he gave the signal to go and was quickly raised up onto the tree line, watching for any obstacles. Startled by a loud groan, Nick braced himself as the crane suddenly dropped a few feet, catching and jerking through the tops of the trees. Nick pulled his knife out as the crane made another groan followed by the sound of fluid spraying from multiple points. Now realizing that it was all going down, Nick dropped his knife and started trying to free his harness from the crane that was now falling rather quickly pulling him towards the edge of trees and the extreme drop below.
