Secret Love

Disclaimer: I don't realize the point of one, since 1, it's pretty obvious that I don't own Victorious and 2, I'm not trying to do anything with this except entertain strangers. But, I don't own Victorious. If I did, people would start to worry.

Chapter 1 (3rd person)

"Vega!"

That sudden burst of speech coupled with the clicking of boots on the hard floor made Tori jump. She thought everyone had gone home, yet the black haired teen before her proved that someone stayed behind after she performed the opening of the Platinum Music Awards. She turned around from where she was sitting at the vanity in her swivel chair.

"Yes Jade?"

Tori asked sweetly, hoping that if she played her cards right, she could at least get a ride home. No doubt Trina had already left to go do….something.

"Thanks. For everything." Jade said softly, still across the room, making Tori have to strain to hear.

"What exactly did I do?" Tori asked, sincerely unaware of whatever Jade was talking about. "Shouldn't I be thanking you?" she finished, talking about the performance.

Jade smirked, stepping forward. "No. We both know I didn't belong on that stage. For not kissing Beck when you and I both know you wanted to." She stated, continuing her slow crawl across the room/

"You found out about that, huh?" Tori said, looking down into her lap and blushing.

"Yeah, but you know something? For some strange reason, I took that idiot back" jade replied, no less than halfway from where Tori was sitting, and playful smile on her face.

"Why?" Tori asked, returning the playful smile.

"I don't really know." In all reality, Jade knew. She felt safe with him. The same routines they went through were like going on a tightrope with a safety net under her. But the same thing all the time got boring. That's why she was here. The innocent Latina was going to help her out of that rut.

She closed the distance between them; sitting on the edge of the vanity and making Tori have to turn to look at her.

"After your performance, he led me to the lobby and just started singing really off key about how he loved me. I just said okay. He knew the rest." Jade said, staring off into space.

"Awe. Cute." Was all Tori could say, smiling.

Jade turned back to the task at hand." Have you ever kissed a girl, Tori?" She asked, pretending not to be interested, instead playing with the feathers on her pink skirt.

"Uh…no." Tori said, with a quizzical look on her face that Jade had to laugh at.

"Me neither." Jade said, leaping off of the vanity and grabbing the tanner of the two by her magenta shirt, pulling her close. Their lips met and there was no resistance between the two. Tori immediately slid her hands into Jade's thick black hair, and was rewarded by feeling said girl's arms wrapping themselves around her shoulders. Jade's tongue swiped across her lower lip, not so much asking permission as warning her before slipping it in.

All to soon did they break apart for air, which both parties found a highly overrated necessity, and just stood there a while, their foreheads touching, and breathing deeply.

"Bye, Vega" was all the warning Tori got before the Goth ripped herself from Tori's grasp and sauntered out, swinging her hips and giving the speechless teen a good show.

Later that Night

Tori was tossing and turning for hours, trying to grasp the sleep that was dancing just outside of her reach. She had managed to call Andre and convince him to take her home, not speaking at all. She looked at her clock. 3:17. She had been trying to sleep for nearly five hours. All attempts were blocked by her brain, which was trying to figure out what the hell went on with her and Jade.

She wasn't supposed to kiss someone she hated that eagerly. She was sup-

Her thoughts were interrupted by the chiming of her phone, alerting dutifully that she had a message. She opened it, hoping it wasn't Andre trying to figure out what was wrong.

That was fun. Hope we can do it again sometime. Saturday work? ;P - Jade

She smiled. She wasn't in love with the girl, but doing something bad, something taboo, was fun, exhilarating even.

'Course! See ya then :) - Tori

Tori hated to admit it, but after that short conversation, she slept like a baby.
