You And Me, Babe

So this is the sequel to Set In A Song, I suggest you read that before this or it won't make any sense! :) Anyway, for those who have read it, I hope you enjoy and please review!

"You and me, babe, how about it?" Tori watched the video of her and Beck's engagement on the screen, it had thousands of views, she hadn't come to terms with the fact that thousands of people witnessed one of the greatest moments of her life. She didn't even know thousands of people.

The video ended and the screen filled with over 20 other videos of the same event, it seemed as everyone in the bar that night knew it would be something, everyone got their phone out and recorded it, everyone got home and uploaded it to the internet. Thousands of people then watched these videos.

Tori remembered when she came home from New York, she hadn't told her parents about the engagement yet; she hadn't even come to terms with it herself. She sat them down at their dining table and showed them this video, she watched them taking it all in.

Her mother squealed and her father just raised an eyebrow. Trina however had the biggest reaction; she pushed her chair back and screamed at Tori for stealing her boyfriend. Her family had a little celebration meal that evening with Beck's parents then by the next day everyone had moved on.

Tori looked down her ring, she found herself doing it all the time. Just making sure it was still there, that she hadn't imagined it all. It sat just over the middle of her 'B' tattoo, if her parents had noticed it they hadn't said anything. She slid the ring off of her finger and traced her finger over the engraving, tiny letters that said, 'You and me, babe'.

Beck never told her about the engraving, it was only when she took the ring off once to wash up the dishes that she saw it. Thinking at first that she was hallucinating, she rang Beck, his reply was only "Oh, so you found that."

Tori closed the lid of her laptop and stood from her desk chair, college started in two weeks and she hadn't finished packing up her room. She found herself being very relaxed about the whole moving to New York thing, after all she had an apartment and a house mate all sorted out.

That was one thing that her dad wasn't happy about, as odd as it may sound he was fine with an engagement at 18 and moving the New York – but not about Tori living with her fiancé. She couldn't see what his problem with it was but she just ignored him.

Cardboard boxes sat all around her bedroom, labelled with things such as 'Clothes', 'Shoes', 'Bedroom'. Organisation wasn't usually her strong point, the boxes may be there and suitably labelled but they were all empty. The task of emptying her closet and folding all her clothes into boxes was something Tori couldn't bring herself to do.

Beck's small RV had been packed up for weeks, however he refused to do the same for Tori's bedroom, bigger in size and much fuller. She may have been small but Tori practically hoarded clothes, shoes and accessories.

Tori slid her ring back and stood up from her bed, the packing wasn't going to do itself despite her hoping. She sang to herself as she pulled various garments from their hangers and threw them into a pile. She found her dress from the Hollywood Art's graduation party, then the dress she was wearing when Beck proposed.

She hung them both on the doors of her closet as she continued with the extracting of the clothes she wanted to take with her to New York. Once the closet was only half full and the pile of the floor resembled a mountain, she started to take each individual garment and fold it into the 'Clothes' box.

Only when three boxes of the same title were full, did Tori retreat to the bed. With an a exhausted sigh she picked up her phone, one new message from Beck.

To: Tori

From: Beck

Hey babe, want to get a coffee or something? My mom is talking weddings and I need an escape.

Tori giggled and told him she'd meet him their favourite tea and coffee bar, Bean Bags. Only a ten minute walk away, after leaving her house she thought back to Beck's message. Should it be weird that they weren't talking about weddings? As a couple they hadn't really discussed it, just that they should leave it a while.

Tori pushed open the door to the café, she saw a familiar long haired boy sitting at a table in the corner. "Hey" she said as she placed a gentle kiss on his cheek and sat down opposite him.

"Hey, are you all packed up yet?" Tori chuckled, he knew her far too well for that to be a serious question.

"Yeah, sure. Everything I own is currently packed away into a box and sitting in my bedroom ready to go, in fact I even cut down on the amount of clothes and shoes!" Beck raised an eyebrow, "I'll take that as a no, then." He said with a smirk.

Tori picked up the menu and began to skim over it before Beck plucked it out of her hands. "Hey!" she disputed, "why'd you take my menu?"

Beck chuckled as he put the menu back where it was, "You forget how well I know you, Tor. You're gonna sit there and look at the menu for about ten minutes; in that time you will go with your usual, then decide you need a change and choose a different beverage, then tell yourself that you drink too much coffee and decide instead to order a smoothie, then just as the waiter comes over you realise that it's weird to have anything other than your usual."

Beck breathed out and rested his elbows on the table, he looked up at Tori who just said "Wow."

A waitress came over with a round tray, she placed it down on their table gently and handed out Tori and Beck's drinks. "One Espresso and one Mocha, and your receipt." She said, leaving a small piece of paper in the middle of the table. She smiled at the two and turned to walk back to the counter.

Tori took a sip her mocha, she knew there was a reason this was her usual. "So," Beck started, "as I told you earlier, my mom was talking weddings." Tori smiled at her fiancé, talking of weddings made her feel all warm inside.

"Yeah?" she asked, replacing her cup on the table. Beck took a sip of his own coffee, it came in a mug version of a shot glass and made him feel like a giant.

"I know we said we would leave it a while, like until we'd finished college," Tori nodded, she didn't really know where this was going. "Well, maybe we should bring it forward you know, get married like next year." Beck took a deep breath as he waited for Tori's response.

"Um, I think that's a great idea!" Tori said as she leant over the table to kiss Beck on his lips, once she sat back into her chair she took his hand into hers and smiled.
