Jade West

Ever since she read the name in her phones address book its been bouncing around her head like a song. Curse of the musician, she supposes. Ah well, she sighs as hums the name again.

West

...

Saturday comes too slowly, but it does come.

And a phone call comes with it. A number she didn't recognize lights up her phone. Butterflies fill the pit of her stomach, she's been waiting for this all day. "Hello?" "Hi!" Every one of them takes flight. "Hey, Tori?" "Yup" "Um, How are you?" She asks, sounding unsure. Tori laughs into the receiver and Jade wishes she'd pressed record when she answered. "Great, you?" "Great" And she laughs again, and Jade even manages a small chuckle. "So." Tori says more serious. Silence. "So when?!" "Oh! Yeah that." She hears Tori mutter a 'wow' on the other end. She smiles and continues "When were you thinking?" " Well you've picked the venue." "So you should pick the time." Tori sighed happily and looked the clock. "7?" "7" She confirmed. "I'll text you my address"

...

By the time she pulled up in front of the apartment complex it was 7:24. She shrugged. She'd been later for more import an things. Not to say this wasn't important to her, if the way she was shaking was any indication, but she had a feeling Tori would understand.

She texted her and a few minutes later she emerged, dressed in a simple rose print dress. Jade was dumbstruck just the same. She climbed in an immediately buckled her seat belt. When she was done she faced Jade who was busy staring. She smiled brightly "Hello" A few seconds later the spell broke and Jade tore her eyes away and put them back to the road. Toris laughter almost drowned out the quiet "hey" she managed to throw ba She started the engine and was about to take off when Tori cleared her throat. She cast her a question look. "Seatbelt." "Ahhh" She buckled her seat belt and sat back. "Ready to go?" Tori nodded triumphantly. And off they go...

...

When they're close to their 1st destination, she pulls over. "Are we here?" Tori asks confused. "No." She says quietly. She leans over and opens the glove box. "What're you..." "Shhh..." She says giggling. She pulls out a blind fold and leans back in her seat. She displays the item. "Necessary?" She nods enthusiastically. Tori sighs and faces the window. Jade ties the blind fold and drives the last bit to the ferry.

"Hold on." She gets out and hurries to the passengers side and opens the door. Tori holds out her hand but Jade swoops down and covers her ears. Damn seagulls. Tori laughs and carefully gets out. Jade turns them towards the ferry and kicks the door shut. Slowly she walks them aboard. She quickly slides her right hand to Toris necks twists in front of her, covering her ears again. Her smile is infectious. Jades grows at the sight of their fellow ferry riders trying to guess there situation. She rolls her eyes and trains them back on her companion. "If this is a prank" They laugh. She uses the few minutes left of the ride to study her. The tops of her eyebrows peak out from the blindfold. Dark brown. The bridge of her nose is littered with freckles. Her lips are small and pink. They look so soft, she thinks. Neither of them know she's leaning in until there noses brush. Startled, she thinks she should pull back, but the blush that spreads on Toris cheeks keeps her close. Tori giggles and starts an eskimo kiss. Involuntarily, Jade loosens her grip and sucks in a shaky breath. She's never been good with affection. Toris head tilts in her hands. "Are you o-" The ships horn goes off, letting passengers know they've arrived. Tori jumps and Jades hold strengthens again. They both laugh and she withdraws her hands. "I guess we don't need that now" she says in mock anger. Tori unties it and immediately scans her surroundings.

"Coney Island?" She nods coyly. "I said New York!" She enunciates with a light slap on the arm. "As someone who's lived in the city my whole life, I know the best place is outside it." Tori narrows her eyes. Jadr can see her arms raising but before they get to her hips she grabs her hands and starts dragging her towards the docks.

A/N sorry for those of you who thought the # was important, I hope you still like it.
