I recommend reading the 'Memory Police' chapter of my other story Title Subject to Change before reading this. This story just picks up where that one left off. Come on, don't be lazy. Read it, please? Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Thanks for reading.
"Well... Do you like me as.. more than a friend?"
"As in what? Are you asking me if I have a crush on you?" Jade turned her toward the other girl's, inching closer. They were now closer than they had ever been in their entire course of knowing each other, and Tori felt as if she would start hyperventilating. She shifted under Jade's touch, now hyper-aware that the other girl's arm was around her. She looked at Jade's matte-red lips, so inviting.
"Yes.." Tori spoke in a semi-whisper, wondering how far this was going to go, if it even got any distance.
"Okay, how would you feel if I said.. yes?" Jade whispered in Tori's ear. She was smirking, now aware of the effect she was having on the other girl. Their lips shifted closer, now inches apart.
"I would really.. like it?" Tori answered, unsure of her answer. She felt embarrassed of the answer she had given Jade, of how awkward it was, but the goth couldn't care less. She placed her palm on the brunette's thigh, bringing her other arm from around her shoulders, and using to bring Tori's face closer. Slowly but surely, their lips eventually met.
Tori was unsure of the kiss at first, worried that someone would walk in and see, but she ultimately began to let her inhibitions go after a few seconds. She edged in closer to Jade, placing a hand on the goth's hip. The raven-haired girl let out a little sigh, one that Tori initially had mistaken for a moan. This made her nervous, and caused her to take her hand off of the other girl's hip and lean away from the place their lips met.
Jade sighed, "What's wrong, Vega? Never kissed a girl before?"
"No, I haven't. But that's not what's wrong..." The goth girl pursed her lips and raised her eyebrow while waiting for Tori to finish her thought. "I don't want to go too far yet."
"Go too far? Tori, we're just kissing, don't throw a conniption."
"I know... But.. I don't know. It's just that whenever I go out with a guy, I never kiss him until at least the second date-"
"Damn, Vega, you are a prude."
Tori narrowed her eyes at her crush, but continued what she was expressing. "And we haven't even gone out once yet. We haven't even really affirmed our feelings for each other."
"And me having my tongue in your mouth doesn't affirm my feelings for you.. how?"
"You never had your tongue in my mouth..."
"I wanted to. Come on, let's do that now." Jade leaned forward and tried to kiss Tori again, but the brunette pushed her back.
"Nooo Jade. Come on, at least take me out first. I'm a lady." Tori tried to emulate Cat's signature pout, hoping to get Jade to give in. Her plan worked.
"UGH, okay Tori. I promise, I'll take you out to dinner or something... I dunno. But I'm bored, and I really liked kissing you. I want to do that again. I promise to keep my hands to myself." Jade held her hands up, face holding a 'scouts honor' expression.
"Well, okay. But I didn't necessarily say you had to keep your hands to yourself-" She was cut off by the other girl's lips being pressed to hers. She leaned forward and soon enough, she was on top of Jade on the couch, lips locked. Huh, this would be the perfect opportunity for someone to walk in on them...
...
"Hey, Tori, we're all here!" Andre announced as he and the rest of the usual group entered the house, looking for the girl who invited them over. Suddenly, he saw two heads, a black one and a brown one, pop up from the couch. They looked on suspiciously, in silence at their friends who had just surfaced.
On the other side of the couch, the other two girls were quickly trying fixing their disheveled appearances, trying to give their friends as little reason to be suspicious as possible. Jade inconspicuously rebuttoned her shirt, while Tori straightened her hair with her fingers and tried to wipe Jade's lipstick off of her lips.
"Uh-hmm." Beck loudly cleared his throat, eyebrow raised. The two girls turned their heads, Tori with a look of fear and embarrassment, Jade with a look of annoyance and irritation.
"Whatcha guys doing over there? Why were you so quiet?" Andre asked, a look of confusion on his face.
"Umm..." Tori began, not sure how to explain her and Jade's compromising position. Jade shot her look that clearly said 'Don't tell them shit' and she obliged, Tori closed her mouth, not finishing her sentence.
"We were laying down, watchin' TV. What took you idiots so long?" Jade said nonchalantly. She then turned her attention over to the television, which was luckily still on. It had served as a useful alibi. Tori silently sighed in relief, glad that she was just getting to second base with a clever girl like Jade and not someone like.. Cat.
"Um... Traffic," Beck answered, still slightly skeptical, but letting the situation go for now. Everyone entered the house and took a seat on the couch. Beck chose a seat next to Jade, but she abruptly got up and took a seat in between Cat and Tori.
"So what were you planning on having us do, Tori?" Andre turned toward his friend and asked.
"I don't know, I guess I was hoping we could all hang out. Maybe watch a movie or something? Play a game?"
"I have a game." Everyone turned their heads toward Jade, the one who had spoke. She sat there with a fiendish smile on her face. Everyone knew what she was going to suggest before she even said it: "Truth or dare."
"Yeah! Let's play truth or dare!" Cat exclaimed, excited to be playing a game, even if it meant her possibly getting humiliated. Humiliation, the reason why the group was weary of playing Jade's recommendation.
"I don't know, Jade. Maybe Scrabble or something?" Tori tried to amend.
"It better be strip-Scrabble or I'm leaving Vega..." Jade inconspicuously took a look at her crush's chest before turning her head away.
"Don't leave Jade!" Tori shouted, and everyone eyed her dubiously. She quickly amended by saying, "I mean, truth or dare it is!"
And truth or dare it was.
Ooo, truth or dare. So many embarrassing memories I have that have stemmed from that game. Good lord, the humiliation. Let's see if Jade will allow Tori to get out of this game with her dignity still intact. Probably not. That's not her style, you guys know that.
Anyway, please review if you liked it. Heck, even just review to tell me some of your embarrassing experiences with truth or dare. I'm not going to post the entirety of mine on here, but let's just say it included nakedness, running, a neighborhood, and rain. Oh yeah, and police at the end. You can probably piece it together.
BTW- Chapter titles are just title's of the song I was listening to while I wrote the chapter. It could have everything to do with the chapter, or nothing. I urge you to check out some of the songs I mention, they can really betray the full plot of this story. I get a lot of my inspiration from music.
Enough of my rambling, though. I'm sure half of you guys don't even read this.
