Okay this is a prompt from StaketheHeart that I really want to try. So enjoy. I don't own...well everything really.

Jade

Ugh! I huffed as I dropped into the worn out car. "Take me to Nozu." I demanded tiredly. "And change the station. I hate pop music!"

"How about asking politely." The driver retorted. I glanced curiously at the girl with long flowing hair. Even from the back she looks gorgeous.I push that thought aside. Did she not know who I was. Famous writer/director Jadelyn West. No one talked to me like that.

"Look. I don't know who you are but you clearly don't know who I am. Jade West. I'm famous. And you are. Wait I actually don't care." I growled snidely. I was tired and I just wanted to meet up with my friends to have some somewhat decent sushi. The car stopped abruptly at a red light and I let out a surprised yelp as I flew forward.

"Geez! Do you even know how to drive!" I glared indignantly at the back off the college girl's head. I immediately put on my seatbelt.

"Quit pouting. Aren't you supposed to be twenty or something." The Lyft driver giggled. "Now if you want me to change the station ask nicely." I saw her reaching to turn up the volume to Katy Perry and I inwardly huffed.

"Fine! Please!" I growled. I saw her smile through the mirror clearly pleased with herself. "Quit being so cocky."

The rest of the ride went by without anymore bantering. Upon arrival I gave her the money but left no tip. I saw her look at the money with an unreadable expression out of my peripherals. "Now whose pouting." I teased turning around. Sure I was mean but I wasn't evil! (Anymore) I handed her a twenty dollar bill and she instantly lit up. I looked closer at her and...Wow. She was gorgeous. With those big, adorable eyes and cheekbones I doubted were real. Her eyes were the color of my favorite drink...Coffee. I turned and left hoping she didn't notice my unnecessary staring...and blushing.

"Seatbelt!" I called looking at the rear view mirror to get a look at who it was. "Oh. It's you again. What's your name again? Wasn't it something like-." I pretended to not know who the pale beauty behind me was.

"Oh! Just drive! I know that you know who I am." She was right. I know everything about her. In fact I've been to most of her movie premieres.

I smiled,"Where to miss?"

"Nozu's." came the short reply.

"Well isn't someone a little grumpy today. Bad day at work?" I teased. I didn't know why, but I felt playful today. She didn't say anything, but I swear I saw her crack a smile.

I pulled up at Nozu and Jade handed me the money. "Now don't spend it all one place!" she called over her shoulder.

Jade

I sat down with a cup of steaming coffee and my laptop which I gently set down on the slightly crummy tabletop. I was in a quiet little place called Jet Brew. I glared distastefully at the blank page. How was I supposed to write about something like this when all I could think about was her.

Speak of the devil."Hey! Nice day isn't it!" came a cheery voice. The owner of the voice flopped down opposite of me and took a sip of her still hot coffee. Now that I think about it I never caught her name.

"What's your name?" I asked bluntly. She gasped.

"And to think that we were becoming friends! You don't even know my name!" She feigned offense in an over-dramatic fashion that had us laughing and gasping for breath. It wasn't even that funny but she looked so cute I shook my head to clear the thought. While I did that she seemed to have calmed down enough to say in a low voice,"Names Vega. Victoria Vega." We both burst into another fit of laughter that made people send us odd looks."My friends call me Tori though."

"You have friends!" I asked pretending to be shocked. She reached over the sad excuse of a table to swat at me playfully.

We exchanged numbers and continued to chat until her phone buzzed. She glanced at it and said "Oh! Sorry I have to go. Family emergency. I'll text you later."She left with her now cold coffee and a wave.

That night, all I could think about was her. The warm feeling I get when I was around her. The urge to kiss her or even to just get closer to her. I was confused to say the least. I wasn't even into girls. At least I didn't think I was. Sure there was a time in college a year ago but that was it! I decided to just forget about it and go to sleep. I fell into a restless slumber and dreamt of none other than Victoria.

8 am the next day

Tori: Hi! this is jade right?

Jade: Who else would it be?

Tori: I'm sorry again about running out like that. it was my sister trina going crazy about her heels breaking.

Jade: Its fine. Tomorrow night I'm gonna need a ride. cool?

Tori: um sure. where do i pick u up?

Jade: Don't worry about it I'll send you the info tomorrow.

Jade the next day

She should be here soon. What's taking her so long? Beep! Beep!

There she is! "What took so long?" I grumbled as I plopped unceremoniously into the worn vehicle.

"Sorry! I forgot. I was studying for a huge exam!" Tori amended. "I lost track of time."

"Oh. It's fine. I always hated those things." I dismissed.

"So... What college did you go to? This is my last year." Tori questioned curiously.

"You know. I don't even remember, and I just finished college last year!" I exclaimed incredulously."I got a master's degree in English."

"Well considering that you wrote those awesome movies I would've guessed you did."

"You've watched my movies?" I pondered aloud. A blush enveloped my cheeks.

"Yeah..." came the sheepish reply. "Ok! Well here we are!" Tori cleared her throat and flashed me a small smile.

Tori three weeks later

That girl walking over there looks really familiar. The wind picked up and the realization dawned on me. No wonder why there was a crowd over there. Tonight, Jade's new movie premiered! Tawny's Revenge!

A cheeky smile appeared on my face and I started driving slowly besides the disguised movie director/writer. I noticed that she had picked up her pace. I rolled down the windows and called,"Hey! Need a ride?"

She looked through the open window and let out a relieved breath. She opened the passenger side door and slid in."God! I thought you were some creep! I guess I wasn't that wrong." she joked teasingly.

She gave me her address and we made small talk as I drove. She reached to change the music station to a different station when In the End by Black Veil Brides came on."I love this song!" I squealed.

"Really! I didn't think you would 'cuz... you know." She motioned to me as she was saying this as if to prove a point. I shrugged and together we sang along to the song as I drove. I would stop occasionally so I could just listen to her sing. I found out that aside from being an awesome actress and writer, Jade also had an extraordinary voice.

I slowed to a stop outside her apartment complex. She got out and reached for her money but I stopped her."No worries. This one's on me but don't get used to it."

She flashed me another smile before disappearing into the worn building.

One week later 3 am

"Come pick me uppp." Jade slurred from the phone.

"Geez! It's three in the morning! What are you out at this time?" I interrogated as I pulled on a shirt.

"Justtt commmeeeee. Plweasseee!" Jade whined.

"Fine just stay where you are don't move." I told her exasperated. It wasn't like I was just going to leave her there.

I got into the car and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. The club like five blocks from her house. She never told me about any friends so she must've walked there. Also she wouldn't have had some other person drive her there she told me herself that she never lets anyone else drive her anywhere. It was pouring earlier. For what reason did she have to go out in that kind of weather?

I started driving and had to stop at every red light on the way. I let out an agitated breath and eased down the gas peddle. I pulled up at the club that I admittedly have been to once or twice. I wasn't a heavy drinker I just came when my friends made me their designated driver.

I parked and got out of the car to look around. After a few moments I noticed the figure slumped behind the garbage can by the entrance. It was dark and I couldn't see that well but I soon made out her messy appearance. I tried to coax her into standing up but she wouldn't budge. I had to forcibly pick her up by her armpits and drag her into the passenger seat. Now and then she would let out a groan notifying me to her discomfort.

I pulled up by the apartment building and got out of my car."Oh quit whining." I grumbled as I unbuckled her seatbelt. I fished out her keys from her back pocket as I tried to throw her over my shoulder. Good thing I finally started to go to the gym.

I looked at her keys and saw her room number on it. I guess I'm in luck. I don't think I would've been able to get anything out of her. I began the awful journey up the three flights of stairs while carrying a grown women.

I came to a stop outside her apartment and shifted Jade so I could open the door. I clumsily flung the door open and started to grope the walls in search of a light switch. I beamed in triumph as the dim lights flooded the small space. I found her couch and trudged over to it eager to be free from the dead weight.

"Hmmp!" Jade protested as I flopped her on to the dark leather couch. Her apartment was very small considering that she is a famous director, writer, and actress. It wasn't cramped at all. In fact it had a roomy feel to it. If that made sense.

I stood I'm front of her my head cocked to one side and hand on my hip. I had to laugh at how disheveled she looked.

"You laughing at me?" Jade tried to question menacingly . I only giggled harder at her adorable attempt."You know...Th-This wouldn't have happened if you..."

I looked at her expectantly thinking she was going to continue. She didn't. "Let's get you to bed." I said more to myself than her. I prepared to pick her back up, but decided to open her bedroom door first. I gently picked her up and move slowly into dark room. My eyes adjusted fairly quickly and I hurriedly laid her on the bed. I tucked her in and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Stay... please?"

"I...um...OK" I relented. Too tired and lazy to change out of my clothes I just slipped in next to her.

"Can I tell you a secret?"Jade slurred to me after turning so we were face to face."I'm gay...I'm gay for you..."
