Tori took one last glance through the kitty cafe before closing and locking up the place. She turned and slowly began walking to her destination, the sky dark, the wind blowing in a cool breeze, she bit her lip and furrowed her brow as she couldn't shake this eerie feeling that creeped down to the pit of her stomach, she felt as if someone was watching her. Her pace quickened as her soft brown eyes darted to and fro searching for any kind of sudden danger, she silently cursed herself for staying late at the business and parking a mile away because she refused to pay the parking meter.
Tori's train of thought broke as she sees a dark figure quickly approaching her, she halted mid-step as he stopped a couple feet in front of her. "Hey there beautiful." The strange man spoke in a smooth, husky voice laced with lust as he stepped closer and looked her over.
Tori eyed the man in drab clothing suspiciously before speaking lowly, "I'm not interested."
The man smirked as he took a step toward her, her obvious disinterest and slight nervousness fueling his fire. "Well damn princess, can't a guy get a few more words out before you turn him down?" He chuckled lowly.
This time Tori glared at the man her eyes hard, voice unwavering. "I said I'm not interested."
The strange man took another step toward Tori as he knew he could easily overpower her if needed be. Tori took a step back as he stepped forward, her heart pounding erratically in her chest, so loud in her ears she was sure that the guy could hear it. Her mind screamed at her danger! run! but her body wouldn't listen.
"I believe the lady said that she wasn't interested." A girl dressed in jet black jeans and a off black hoodie haughtily said as she stepped up onto the sidewalk. Tori whirled her head over in the direction of the girl, mentally sighing as she felt a wave of comfort come over her.
"I uh..I was just going to ask her if she was lost and needed directions." The man faltered, surprise written all over his face as he was sure no one else was around for miles this late in this area.
"Yeah, sure, how about you get out of here now you fucking creep." The girl dressed in dark clothes barked out as her agitation with the man grew by the second. The man glanced from Tori to the girl who came out of nowhere. When his eyes met the girl's he let out a neck hair raising shriek and ran for his life.
Tori released a breath she didn't even know she was holding as she turned toward her savior.
"Woah, thank you for saving me, my name's Tori." She smiled warmly at the girl and spoke in a soft voice.
"Ahh it was nothing, Jade." Soft browns met piercing greens as Tori locked eyes with the mysterious pale girl dressed in all black.
"Where are you coming from?" Jade spoke smoothly eyeing Tori. Tori pointed towards the cafe with her thumb. "I work down the block there, it's a small business called the Playful Kitty Cafe."
"You should be more careful, next time, maybe travel in two's or.. carry mace with you." Jade said warningly.
"I don't usually stay that late, actually, and the night that I happened to stay a bit late this happens..just my luck huh?" Tori laughed lightheartedly.
"Mm well." Jade shrugged. "Where's your car?" The dark haired girl questioned.
Tori looked up and over at the girl who was a couple of inches taller than her as she pointed out her car for her.
"Christ, did you park far enough away for your liking woman?" Jade said exasperatedly, eyes wide.
Tori laughed and smiled as she began to walk. "I had to, I refuse to pay those silly parking meters."
"Eh, well.. I don't blame you." Jade rubbed the back of her neck as she walked after Tori. "You don't mind if I walk you to your car do you?" She questioned curiously.
"No, not at all." Tori looked over her shoulder at Jade the corners of her mouth curling upward.
"Well even if you did I'd still do it either way." Jade smirked as she heard Tori laugh once more, thinking in her head that she could get used to that laugh. She looked over and watched how Tori's hips swayed when she walked, taking in all of her. Her soft brown eyes, dainty lashes, pouty lips, brunette silky soft looking hair, long slender body, she was very petite and with a nice round rump to boot, she was definitely a looker. Jade decided to look away before the half-latina caught her gawking.
"I'd have to be out of my mind to refuse after what just happened, do you live near here?." Tori asked curiously.
"I live in an entirely different state but I actually go to a college near here, I stay on campus." The mysterious girl told Tori as she ran her tongue over her teeth.
"Nice, what are you majoring in?" Tori asked not really noticing what Jade just did, as they made it to her car and she stood near the driver's side.
"Criminal Justice, I'm into serving, and protecting." Jade said simply as she shot Tori a look that was unreadable.
Tori couldn't help the smile that came to her face. She thought that would explain why Jade had stepped in, it makes perfect sense. With a press of a button and the sound of her car's doors unlocking Tori bit her lip as she looked over at Jade, "Get in, I'll give you a ride to campus."

Whispered breaths and feather light touches, soft tanned skin against pale porcelain skin. Tori found herself in her bed with a raven haired woman. The woman's body lightly trapping Tori against the bed as she hovered above her. Tori's eyes were dark and in a daze, her hands wrapped around the woman's strong back as the woman slowly trailed her hand up the side of her body, feeling the soft, velvety skin beneath her fingertips, at the same time skimming the planes of her neck with soft lips. She paused her hand's movement and focused on the beautiful neck her mouth trailed, leaving soft, wet kisses in its wake before finding the half-Latina's pulse point. Tori shuddered in anticipation making the woman that was hovering above her let out a low chuckle before running her tongue against it and finally biting down.
Tori woke with a start her whole body humming from the dream she just had. "What.. was that?" Tori gasped her eyes widening in realization as she figured out what the dream was and who she dreamt of. "Jade?.." She whisper yelled to herself.
"The Jade you JUST met!?" Tori groaned to herself as she got out of bed and walked to her bathroom, she turned on the light and stared in the mirror at her frazzled hair and flushed features. She let out another groan as she suddenly felt an uncomfortable wetness between her legs.
"God! It was only a little bit of foreplay Tori!" She yelled frustratingly at herself.
She started her usual morning routine of washing her face and brushing her teeth before she turned to the shower, turning the knob, watching as the water quickly shot out. She undressed, stepping into the shower and sighing as the warm water enveloped her body. She thought about what happened last night and remembered how on the ride to Jade's house they had gotten lost in conversation, Jade telling Tori about how she felt about College and how she got into liking criminal justice, Tori finding it cute how she lit up when talking about it. The half-Latina found herself smiling from the memory as she washed her bod, finishing up, she let the water wash all of the suds away before stepping out onto the carpet and grabbing a towel from the bathroom closet to wrap around herself.
Walking into her bedroom Tori glanced over at her alarm clock and read the time.
1:40PM blared across it in bright red.
Oh fuck! Andre's going to kill me! She thought as she quickly pulled on some tight blue jeans and put on a long sleeved shirt coral in color. Getting up and grabbing her keys, she left her apartment, making sure to lock it, she ran down the stairs in a blur.

Tori arrived at Andre's house, putting her car in park before grabbing her phone and quickly dialing Andre up.
"Hello?" A familiar voice answered.
"Andre I'm ou-" She was abruptly cut off before she could finish her sentence.
"Tori! I texted you so many times! I was starting to get worried that maybe something bad happened to you."
"I'm fine! I'll explain in the car! now get out here!" Tori fussed. Tori turned and watched Andre as he ran down the stairs and to the passenger side of her car.
"Hey Tor." The dread headed boy said, "So are you gonna tell me why you were so late?"
Tori turned to Andre and swallowed thickly.
"Well.." Tori began to explain to Andre how she had met this raven haired girl the other night who came out of nowhere and practically saved her from a potential creep and then she told her steamy dream to the boy.
"Tori.. I knew you were into girls but..you only met her last night and you're already dreaming about her?" Andre smirked.
"I know! Idk what's wrong with me but apparently I couldn't get her out of my head, so I dreamt about her." Tori explained.
"Actually, Tori." Andre looked over at Tori with a serious look on his face. "I think you should steer clear of Jade."
"Why?" Tori questioned.
"She's bad news Tor." Andre looked over at Tori with a genuinely concerned look.
"Andre, she saved me from a creep how bad could she be?" Tori's brow furrowed as she asked.
"Well.. that doesn't explain why she showed up out of nowhere.. I don't know Tor, seems kind of shady to me." The brown skinned boy shrugged.
Tori couldn't help but think that Andre knew things about Jade that she didn't or possibly, maybe, he used to be acquainted with her at some point. She contemplated on demanding that he told her everything he knew, but decided against it for now. She didn't want to get upset while they hung out if the news was something she couldn't wrap her mind around.

Tori and Andre made it to their destination, walking inside of the large building and taking in the familiar wonderful scent of buttery movie theatre popcorn. They bought their tickets and preceded inside the second double doors, making sure to show their tickets to the person ahead. The bouncer took one quick glance at their tickets and ripped a piece of it off before handing it back to them and letting them go through.
"Your movie will be down the right hall, door 3421." She said as she watched them go.
"I'm excited to see this, are you?" Andre said as they walked up into the concession stand line and waited to buy popcorn and some drinks.
"Uh.. yeah." Tori said nervously as she looked over at Andre. She still could not believe he had talked her into going to see The Scissoring II, especially sense scary movies were not her thing.
"You'll be alright Tor, I promise it won't be that bad." He tried to reassure her a bit as they finally made it to the front and ordered their popcorn and drinks. "I hope so.. and hey, I have to use the washroom, so can you wait for me outside of The Scissoring II's entrance?"
"Sure thing." Andre nodded at her as she handed him her drink.
She watched and winced as he struggled to hold both the popcorn and drinks. "I'll make it fast I promise!" Tori exclaimed as she turned around and made a bee line for the washroom. As she neared the washroom door it swung open nearly hitting her straight in the face.
"What the fu-?" She muttered as she quickly dodged the door before looking up at the person that almost hit her and gasping, "Jade?"
"Vega? I knew we'd run into each other again." Jade said while holding eye contact with Tori.
Tori was beyond shocked to see Jade, she honestly hadn't thought they'd run into each other again this soon. She felt a wave of heat rush up to her cheeks as she was sure she had a silly, open mouthed expression on her face. If you pictured it it'd be kind of like a fish out of water gasping for air.
"Jade, why can't the movie theatre sell bibble instead of popcorn?" A girl a few inches shorter than Tori with long red velvet hair said as she came out of the washroom behind Jade.
"Oh, hiii." The red head said as she giggled and waved at Tori.
"Jade is this the hot girl you were telling me about before?" The tiny red head questioned as she seen the way Jade was looking at the girl standing in front of her. The blush that was on Tori's face turned a shade brighter as she looked at Jade questionably.
"Cat!" Jade swiftly turned to the red head on the side of her and exclaimed.
"What?" The red head said innocently while giving Jade chastised puppy dog eyes before she slowly shrunk away from her angry friend. Jade just huffed and ignored the girl's question as she proceeded to introduce the two.
"Cat this is Vega, Vega this is Cat." Jade gestured with her hand as she introduced the two.
"Nice to meet you Cat, you can just call me Tori." Tori said to the red headed girl while smiling.
Vega? Tori thought. She found it odd how Jade took to calling her by her last name rather than her first but shrugged it off for questioning at a later time. She glanced over at Jade taking all of her in subtly, from her wild black hair with green highlights to her plump pouty lips, down to her black combat boots. Tori just noticed the snake bite piercings that were on either side of the pale girl's left eyebrow, she thought she had to have missed seeing those last night but snake bites or not this girl was gorgeous.
"Oooh Tori, I like that name." Cat swooned and giggled.
Jade rolled her eyes at cat before turning her attention back to the half-latina again.
"So.. what movie are you seeing?" Green orbs stared into browns as if they were seeing right through Tori's very soul.
"The Scissoring II." Tori answered.
"No way." Jade breathed. "You didn't strike me as the type to be into those types of movies." Jade smirked.
Tori took in how Jade's smirk looked plastered upon her pale face, although she's never seen her outright smile she thought about how her occasional smirks and grins here and there really suited her.
"That's very stereotypical of you don't ya think? Tori shook her head and laughed.
"But you're right. I'm not. I'm here with a friend who somehow talked me into seeing it with him." Tori complained shuffling her feet a bit under Jade's unwavering gaze.
"Boyfriend?" Jade questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"No, he's my best friend." Tori simply answered eyeing Jade curiously, she had a lot of questions to ask her, one of them being what she was doing out late last night, and another being why she cared if Andre was her boyfriend or not, but she knew that this wasn't the time and place. She gazed at the bathroom door then back at Jade. Jade must have caught onto that because right after she moved out from in front of the doorway for her.
Tori bit her lip as she watched Jade reach into her pocket, she pulled out a thin piece of cleanly cut paper, she then held out her hand towards Tori with the paper in between her thumb and index finger.
"Here, I forgot to give this to you the other night." Jade quickly said then ran her tongue across her bottom lip while watching Tori carefully.
Tori's eyes caught on the quick flick of Jade's slick tongue as she reached for the piece of paper in the goth's hand, their fingers brushed for a split second which caused Tori to tense up at the contact and quickly take the paper before pulling her hand back and marveling at the slight coolness of Jade's skin and the jolt of electricity that ran through her finger at the touch. Tori watched as Jade arched her brow, but didn't say anything she just gave her this smug look instead, which made Tori's cheeks turn a bright shade of pink before she averted her eyes from Jade's.
"Make sure to read that later, okay?" Jade chuckled lowly and shot Tori one last smirk before her and Cat began to walk off, before turning the corner she glanced back at Tori and gave her a suggestive wink.
Tori's blush deepened at her wink, she swallowed before hurriedly walking into the bathroom. She went over to the sink, placed her hands on the counter top and stared at herself in the mirror. She fumed at her flushed features, she couldn't understand her reaction to Jade at all, she's been hit on by plenty of women before, but just a measly suggestive look from Jade, and a slight brushing of fingers and she was putty. It was embarrassing for her to react like that but she thought that it must mean something.
A crush maybe? And her hand.. was so.. cold. Tori shook her head at the thoughts before remembering where she was and who she was with that she left waiting for her.
Omg Andre! She thought before hurriedly running into the nearest stall and taking care of the sole reason she came to the washroom in the first place. After Tori was finished she washed her hands and scrambled out of the washroom searching for Andre. She found him at the spot she had told him to wait for her at, the double doors just before entering the movie.
"I'm sorry, I ran into Jade and one of her friends." Tori explained to Andre feeling bad for having had made him wait that long while holding her drink and popcorn as well as his own.
"Oh?" Andre perked a brow. "What happened?" He questioned curiously while handing Tori back her popcorn and drink.
"We just talked for a bit, she introduced me to her friend and.." Tori trailed off as she reached into her jean pocket and pulled out the cut up piece of paper.
"She gave me this and told me to read it later." Tori bit her lip thoughtfully before sliding the paper back into her jean pocket.
"Cool. So you're actually going to read it later, instead of now?" Andre said making known his curiosity of the note without shame.
"Yeah, the movie is about to start. c'mon!" Tori shouted as she pushed open the double doors with new found excitement and a bright smile leaving behind a confused Andre.
So? Thoughts?
