Chapter-2: Talk About It
Tori wakes up smiling the next morning. Not knowing the cause of her exceptionally great mood she assumes she'd had a good dream although she couldn't remember what it was about. Tori's getting ready to hop into the shower when she gets a call from Jade. Suddenly the details of last night come rushing back leaving her hesitant to answer the phone. The phone is on the third ring and about to go to voicemail when Tori makes the decision to answer it. She snatches up the phone and answers quickly to make sure she doesn't miss the call. "Hello?", Tori answers. " Uh..yeah Tori, Hey. Thought you weren't gonna answer for a minute" Jade says a bit nervous. " I almost didn't" Tori replies. " Oh" there's a second of silence on the other end. "Why" asks Jade. "I uhm- I don't know. Didn't know what to say I guess...I still don't" Tori replies her voice shaking slightly. "Oh uh ok. But uhm...about last night. We need to talk about what happened". Jade says" Uh yeah i guess we do" Tori replies " Yeah", Jade says. " I uhm- I have to go I kinda need to take a shower and get dressed" Tori tells Jade. " uh yeah sorry I'll let you go. Uh Bye..Tori"
"Bye Jade"
"Uh Tori wait...I dont have my car today...could you maybe...give me a ride?"
"Yeah, sure i guess. I'll call you when on my way i guess. Later"
"Bye"
Tori and Jade hang up the phone so Tori can take her shower. Jade puts down her phone and takes a few deep breaths to ease her breathing after talking to Tori. She was nervous because she knew that they'd have to talk about the kiss soon. If they didn't it would just cause awkward silence sand fleeting glances every time they pass each other in the hallway or talked which would probably just include short responses to everything that was said. She couldn't even tell what Tori thought about it. In the car last night at first she seemed to like it but then ignored her for the entire ride and on the phone she seemed nervous but she couldn't really tell if it was good or bad. Tori was hard to read and Jade didn't like it, it made her feel scared nervous and she didn't know what to do. Jade looks at the clock it's been 20 minutes since she got off the phone with Tori and Jade was starting to get restless, her stomach was tied in knots, and she was starting to think aboutTori and the kiss all over again. No one had ever set Jade over the edge like she was now, no one but Tori. Suddenly the phone starts to ring and Jade rushed to answer. "Yeah. Hey", Jade answers. "Jade?" Tori says making sure she was speaking to the right person. "yeah, it's me" Jade answers "Yeah I'm on my way. I'll call you when I get there". Tori tells Jade "ok" Tori answers then hangs up. Tori starts the car and pulls out the driveway and starts on her way to Jade's house. She couldn't stop thinking about the phone call and Jade telling her that they needed to talk. If it was up to Tori she would've just ignored it and pretend it never happened for as long as she could. She didn't want to have to remember the details of last night and what it meant for her. Did that mean she liked girls now, was she a lesbian? N,o no she was still wildly attracted to men... Just not only men. The only girl she was attracted to right now was Jade so maybe she was just experimenting and Jade was the first step. She wasn't going to deny to herself that she didn't like the kiss in fact it was probably the best she'd ever experienced but she wasn't going to let anyone else know that especially since no one knew about the kiss anyway, and she wasn't so sure she wanted Jade to know either. All the thinking was starting to give Tori a headache and she was so distracted she almost drove right past Jade's house. The only reason she didn't was because she saw Jade waiting for her by the driveway. Jade opens the door and climbs into the passenger seat looking strangely happy and in a frighteningly good mood. "Hey", Jade said trying to seem happy looking at Tori who seemed to be analyzing her, distracted and stunned. "oh uhm hey" Tori says snapping out of her daze. " So uhm...you wanted to talk...about last night".
"Uh yeah", Jade replies turning away from Tori looking a bit nervous. " Look, Tori...I - I've liked you for a while now and last night something that happened along the way made me kiss you I guess. I had to tell you somehow and I didn't really know how else to do it and it sort of fit the moment I guess, If you don't want to talk to me I totally understand" Jade distracted staring at Jade's lips not really listening to a word she said suddenly takes Jade's face in her hands and kisses her. She couldn't stand to just keep looking at her knowing she wanted Jade so badly. she couldn't control herself wasn't even sure why she did it but Jade was kissing back and she couldn't bring herself to care. Tori pulls away and brings herself back to reality. "I uhm, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that", Tori says looking away. Jade turns Tori' face back towards her own and leans in closely "Yes, you shouldxy have". Jade whispers leaning in closer to kiss Tori again. Tori looks into Jade's eyes looking hypnotized. Jade leans in closer and kisses her the kiss is deep and passionate yet soft and gentle. Jade's hand brushes across Tori's face while the other starts to roam up her shirt slowly towards the hook for her bra. Tori takes Jade's hand and laces their fingers together to keep her from going any further. Jade takes Tori's other hand and bites Tori's lip Tori parts her lips allowing Jade entrance. Their tongues mingle in sync and cause excitement like a tango getting lost and exploring each other. They both pull away breathless and dazed staring into each others eyes with smiles on their faces. Jade breaks the trance and pecks Tori on the lips. Tori blinks and looks straight realizing she was in her own world. Tori looks at Jade questioningly " so where does this leave us now?" Tori asks Jade. "I'm not exactly sure" is all Jade can say in reply.
You do realize I can't tell people in school about this especially since I'm still trying to explain it to myself. Just this morning I couldn't even come to terms with that fact that I also like girls apparently. I was even wondering if I was experimenting or something because-" Tori's interrupted when Jade puts a finger on her lips to shush her. "Tori"
"Yes?" she replies after Jade removes her finger
"Shut up" Jade says with a hint of a smile on her lips.
"But-"
"Uh" Jade interrupts Tori again who's face falls into a slight frown.
" Stop frowning" Jade says and pecks Tori on the lips again to take away the frown.
"Jade this is weird i don't even if i really like you or not. Its scary even " Tori says still frowning slightly
"Yeah, I know" Jade says turning to look straight.
" We should probably head to school now"
Jade looks at Tori " Yeah almost forgot about that"
Tori smiles slightly and shifts the car into drive and they head off to school. Neither of them said a word to each other each lost in thoughts of their own. Jade trying to figure out Tori and Tori trying to figure out how things would be in school or is she should tell anyone about what was going on between her and Jade. Tori pulls up to the school and they both make it just in time for 1st period with Sickowitz. Tori walks into the classroom with Jade behind her.
"You two! and Andre" Sickowitz exclaims pointing at Tori and Jade then Andre. "You're going to do a scene. You are married with a sick son and need to get him to the hospital or he'll die...how do you do it? Oh and you there" Sickowitz says pointing at Beck. "You're playing the doctor...if they get that far".
"WHAT?" exclaims Jade " I'm not pretending to married to her AGAIN! It was bad enough the first time AND you made us go on a"date" we ended up with two creeps as extra unwelcome dates" Jade was aggravated and speaking through clenched teeth at the memory.
Tori rolls her eyes at the thought of the two guys"I don't want to be married to her we've done it before and it wasn't a good experience. And shouldn't one of us just be married to Andre and have a sick DAUGHTER?" Tori ask Sickowitz.
"Hmmm. Nope now do the scene", he says pointing at them.
" Fine, but I'm the woman this time" Tori says sounding a bit peeved.
"Who says?" cries Jade looking annoyed and aggravated. " I'm doing it!" Tori says giving Jade a look that says she's doing what she wants whether Jade liked it or not.
"Fine" Jade replied.
Andre lays on the floor with a pained expression on his face. " Mommy, daddy" Andre coughs several times violently for extra measure "I think i'm sick" Andre coughs again. Tori goes up to Andre and touches his neck " He's pale amd has a high fever" Tori says with a worried tone an expression on his face " Should we go to the hospital Boris?"
"No, no he'll be fine, Lauren" Jade says confidently in a man like voice.
"But his eyes they're yellow...he's unconcious now...what if he's dying?" Tori says sounding scared.
" He's fine Lauren stop worrying"
"But Boris he's not responding...I don't think he's breathing. Oh My Goodness" Tori exclaims " Boris he needs to go to a hospital"
"Fine, fine Lauren just to prove he's perfectly fine". Jade says sounding nonchalant and annoyed with her "wife".
"Boris how are we going to get him to the hospital?" Tori asks trying to sound bewildered
" If we can't get him there he's not going" Jade's character says sounding relieved and pleased
" But Boris he could die!" Tori exclaims.
"Mommy, I can see the light it's white and pretty". Andre says
"No, David don't go into the light stat here" Tori's character Lauren says sounding petrified and worries.
"Boris, where's the phone? I'm calling an ambulance"
"I don't know Lauren. The boy's not dying he only needs food"
"Boris he's sick" Tori pretends to hit something on the floor "Oh, here's the phone" Tori pretends to dial on the invisible phone she makes a ringing noise and stops as if someone picks up looking frantic. " Hello my son is sick he needs an ambulance we live on 123 sycamore street in Beverly Hills...ok thank you". Tori hangs up he invisible phone and holds it in her hand. " Boris they're on they're way".
"Whatever Lauren he's not even sick" Jade says with a bored tone and expression on her face. Jade makes a Siren sound and Tori stomps her foot to imitate a knocking sound. "EMT" Jade says in imitation of a deep and manly voice. Jade opens the door while Tori starts to talk.
"Boris they're here" she says enthusiastically. "David? David the doctors are going to take good care of you ok". Sickowitz points to Beck then the stage signaling for him to go up. Beck walks in and looks at Andre as if examining him for a minute then makes a statement. " Well it's a good thing that you called when you did his breathing is shallow he's not so well either. If you waited any longer he could have died. The paramedics will come in to bring him to the hospital, you two are very lucky".
They all get up signaling the end if the scene.
" i liked it" says Sickowitz. They spend the rest of the period talking about improv and random things that Sickowitz comes up with that have nothing to do with class. The bell rings signaling that they're free to leave. Tori receives a text from Jade to meet her in the Janitor's closet after class because they weren't don't talking yet although they hadn't done much talking that morning. Tori walks out the classroom and goes into the janitor's closet. Tori walks in and notices Jade isn't there yet. Her stomach is tied in knots she bites her bottom lip and wrings her hands from nervousness. Tori starts to pace when she hears the door click and turns around to see Jade standing behind her with an amused look on her face. "Nervous Vega", Jade says with a slightly amused tone in her voice.
" Oh shut up Jade, and could you just maybe call me Toro- shit I mean TORI sometimes" Tori says with a nervous and humiliated look on her face.
Jade starts to laugh. " Oh my God Toro?" she says through laughter. "Are you really that nervous Vega?" Jade says with a gentler but still amused tone in her voice giving Tori a questioning look.
" I don't know. I guess"
"Why are you so nervous around me it can't be that bad"
" You don't get it do you. I-I, I think i actually might just- just forget it"
"No Tori. You might actually just what?" Jade says with her arms crossed with a slight smile on her face from watching Tori squirm.
"Like you ok! God I just might actually like you" Jade walks closer to Tori with a smile looking a bit mischievous on her face and puts her arms around Tori's waist. Tori's breath hitches at Jade's touch and she looks and sees a yearning in Jade's eyes that matched her own.
Jade speaks stoping the tension between them. "So...You like me huh Vega?"
Tori swallows a lump in her throat feeling even more nervous and nods "Yea I do"
"Good" Jade lets go of Tori's waist and Tori starts to relax " I have to get to class. See yah around" Jade says watching Tori's expression who seemed a bit dazed and confused all at once. Jade starts to turn the knob to leave then turns around. "Just one more thing" she says walking closer to Tori. She gives Tori a kiss gentle yet passionate that leaves Tori breathless and looking like she hit cloud 9. "Later Vega" Jade says biting her lip slightly amused and upbeat. Tori doesn't respond but just stands in place speechless as she watches Jade leave. The bell rang signaling it was time for the next snapped out of her daze still feeling like she was on cloud 9. Tori walks out the closet and to her locker looking happier than usual. Jade who's still at her locker laughs at the expression on Tori's face. "You look like you won the lottery...and a little extra if you get what im saying" Jade says
Tori looks at Jade "Well that's not exactly my fault now is it, If you get what I'M SAYING"
Jade punches her in the arm with a stern look on her face "Shut up"she whisper screams.
"OW!" Tori screams
" Oops, sorry Vega" Jade says in a fake apologetic voice.
Tori rolls her eyes as she walked off to her next class leaving Jade alone who was leaning against her locker. Jade walks off to her next class still a bit angry but that quickly passed as she thought about the Janitor's closet with. She couldn't help but smile at the thought that she made Tori nervous and even squirm she was nicer to Tori than before but she still had a mean streak and she didn't plan on changing that to much just cause she liked the girl.
