Disclaimer: Its mine all mine! I own it MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! what? i meant this awesome three pound chocolate bar, not Victorious. Geez, frickin' lawyers.
I looked at the clock, 6:47 pm. Beck was laying on my bed counting my fucking glow in the dark stars on my ceiling, while i was trying to figure out what to wear.
"Whats the big deal anyway?" Beck's voice cut through my thoughts from the bed. He had rolled over and propped his head up with every single one of my fucking pillows.
"Beck," I tried to keep the laughter out of my voice.
"This is the girl i almost broke up with you over nine times in high school. Nine times, Beck. This is pretty fucking important to me. If she didn't recognize me at the mall i want her to see me in this new light." Beck tried to stifle a laugh but it broke free and he rolled a little on my bed.
"W-what new light?" I glared at him as he tried to calm himself more so her could speak.
"Jade," He said a little more composed. I turned to face him kind of interested in what he has to say.
"Your still the same cold hearted bitch you were in high school. The only difference is that you accept you want in Tori's, and any other breathing girl's, pants." I glared daggers at him and smirked.
"No Beck, the only difference is that i realize i want in there pants while at the same time not letting you." I turned back to my closet as i felt his cold stare burn on my back.
"Now you going to help me figure this out or should i kick you out now?"
"If you kick me out now who will remind you to call Tori so you know her address before you leave?" My eyes grew wide. Shit, thats right i don't even know where she lives anymore. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and start fumbling through my contacts. I found Tori and hit call immediately. I let out a shaky breath as it started to ring.
"Hey." Her voice sending a surprising wave of calm through me.
"Hey, I was just getting ready for dinner-"
"Oh yeah me to." I laughed lightly, damn it i hate being cut off. One of the things i hated about Tori that made me so attracted to her. No matter how many times i told her when i hated something she did she never changed or stopped doing it, she just did it less.
"Yeah, well i was getting ready when a little voice-"
"A devilishly handsome voice." Beck said smirking at me from my bed. Note to self: curb stop Beck's face in when off the phone.
"Told me that i kind of need to know your address to be able to pick you up." She laughed, he laughter was like another form of singing to me. Its just to whimsical, damn never thought I'd use that word in real life. She rambled off the address and i wrote it down.
"But listen Jade I have to finish getting ready, so I'll see you when you get here." I hung up without a goodbye, my normal practice but i don't think Tori will get it, I'll probably hear some shit about that at dinner.
"So does she really not know its you?" I turned back to Beck, he sat on the edge of my bed now fiddling with the seems in my purple and black bed covers.
"I don't know." I said honestly after a beat.
"What if its not Vega Tori?" He flopped back on my bed and i stared at him.
"It's got to be..." I stared back in my closet. What if it isn't? What if Beck's right and this is all a waste of time? Maybe i should cancel.
"Wear your dark skinny jeans with your skater shirt that says 'get your girl off my deck'" Beck's words cut through my thoughts. I looked back at him and he's still laying on the bed with his eyes closed. I walked over and kissed his cheek lightly.
"Thank you." I whispered. He smiles knowing he's one of the few, very few, who can say i have given them thanks. Maybe i should make him an award. Yeah the 'I helped Jade get laid' award. I nod at my thoughts as i pulled on the garments specified by my lovely ex. I grabbed my black Jacket with a rainbow panda in the bottom right corner and rushed for the door.
"Beck, you can stay here just don't trash the place cause i can still cut your balls off with hedge clippers." I yelled as i slipped on my brand new pair of royal blue Etnies. I heard a laugh from my room and knew that meant 'Yeah okay.' in Beck speak. I grabbed my keys and hurried outside, i had caught sight of the clock. 7:28 pm. Fuck. I don't know how long its going to take me to get there.
"Shit, i'm gonna be late." I hiss at myself as i throw open the door to my black convertible corvette, I only take her out on special occasions. I almost ram the keys into the ignition and start in one motion. I peel out of my driveway as i turn on my GPS.
"Hello, Jade. Where is your destination?" I smiled as i turned on the road to leave my community. Sometime technology surprises me. I rambled off the address Tori had given me and sighed with relief when it said the eta was 15 minutes. I cruised down the street hoping this all turned out okay. I still had that nagging thought Beck planted in the back of my mind, what if it really isn't Vega? Well, maybe she's a nice girl i want to keep around. I sighed as i pulled up to the house.
I made my terrifying journey up to the door, questioning myself more with every step. By the time i got to the door i almost had myself sold on a plan to get in my car and run away to Bangkok and become a underground tattoo artist. But instead i sighed and pushed the door bell, i spent the next few moments chewing on the inside of my lip and questioning if i was at the right place when suddenly the door flew open. There stood Tori, in a flat black mid thigh length skirt with thigh high black stockings, she had a form fitting t-shirt that had some stupid catch phrase i didn't care about on it. Her hair was half up and she just looked beautiful.
"Wow..." I breathed out as i let my eyes claw over her image again. She smiled softly.
"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself. I laughed looking down at myself. I had on skater shoes, skinny jeans, a normal t-shirt, and a baggy hoodie on. Yeah i'm just the sexiest thing on earth, i look like a fucking skater punk. Thanks Beck. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah right Vega, I don't even compare to you." I saw her stop and i realized i called her by her last name like i did in high school. Shit. She looked at me with shock.
"I knew it was you." He voice didn't sound angry but a mix of emotions that i couldn't tell, but anger was not one them. She stood up straighter and analyzed me again.
"Jade? Is it really you?" I licked my lips slowly and nodded.
"Yeah its me Vega." She laughed and shook her head, the hair not put up falling lightly over her shoulders.
"No shit. All this time after high school and you still call me by my last name." I laughed lightly to, i scratched the back of my head lightly.
"I just can't believe it took you this long to notice." She shook her head and leaned on the doorframe.
"No i knew i knew you, i just couldn't put my finger on it." She lightly poked my shoulder as if to emphasize her point, a touch that would used to have made me want to break her finger but now leaves me wishing she would just do it again. All the feelings i had lost for the Latina when we graduated are flooding back into me in a rush, I don't think my body can handle it i feel like i might collapse.
"I just can't believe the infamous Jade West asked me on a date." She smirked at me playfully. I wouldn't have stood for that in high school, i don't think i stand for it now for similar reasons. My entire body is screaming for me to hug her, kiss her, touch her in any way just be sure this is real.
"Well I've changed Vega, I'm sure you have to. Plus I still have to fill my quota of taking a beautiful lady to dinner." I offered my arm as i half turned from the door and the conversation.
"Wow a compliment, i guess you really have changed. Grown soft huh Jade?" I growled at the comment and shook my arm a little,
"Can we just go?" I let some of my annoyance lace my words so she would know its still me.
"There's the Jade i know." She laced her arm in mine after closing the door. I lead her to the car feeling much better now that we were actually on our way. I opened the door and let her in before walking over to my side.
"So Tori, where to?" I looked sideways at her, her hazel-brown eyes still visible in the dying light above the dashboard. I swallowed hard knowing her eyes were still on me even in the dark.
"Wherever is fine." I pinched the bridge of my nose with my index finger and thumb.
"Tori i'm not playing a game, choose a fucking restaurant." She was kind of getting on my last nerve, but every time i see her and look in her eyes or see a smile directed at me i feel everything wiped clean again.
"Jade, i don't want to pick. I don't want to pick anything to expensive." I looked at her like she was stupid, and i know she felt it even in the dark.
"Tori i just dropped almost three grand on a necklace for you before our first date, money isn't an issue. Now choose before i get i pissed." I was having trouble holding back the bite in my voice, it was the first time i was seeing her and i didn't want to hurt her like i used to.
"Okay, how about that Italian place up by the beach?" I sighed with relief and started driving. I hadn't really noticed my habit of driving while resting my right hand on the gear shift until Tori laid her hand over mine. She was staring out her window watching the world pass us by, but her hand was over mine and not showing any signs of moving. Suddenly, I love her again.
A/N: Don't ever expect me to update this fast ever again. But my brother and I stayed up late drinking soda's and watching movies so this is purely written off the caffeine rush that i'm on.
Now to answer a couple questions, yes Tori kind of recognized Jade at the mall she just didn't want to say anything and sound stupid. But cat's out of the bag now! And yes this will have a couple chapters, like i said in the summary M For A Reason. I shall not disappoint.
Review my little maniacs.
