Chapter 2
Beck's POV
After Andre's slip of the tongue and death of a flower I planned on helping him get Tori, even if the thought of it felt like a kick in the stomach. He's my best friend and he'd do the same if the situation were reversed.
Luckily for me Jade had to reherse for a play, which Tori didn't audition for, so I was free to do what I pleased. Seeing as how I planned to go to Tori's anyway I figured I might as well try and find out what she likes in guys. Even if it is to help Andre, I have to admit I am curious about her answers.
As I pulled up in front of her house I saw no cars in the driveway. The lights were on in the house so someone's home. I climbed out of my truck, pocketing my keys, and walked up to the front door. I rang the doorbell and didn't have to wait to long before the door opened.
Tori looked at me confused, but had a smile on her face, "Oh, hey Beck." She stepped aside to let me in. Walking immediately to her couch I dropped onto it and grinned at her. "Got the house to yourself?"
Tori nodded and took a seat beside me, if Jade saw how close she'd be upset, "Yeah, my parents are gone for the week and Trina's out shopping."
"Party time?" I suggested, nudging her playfully. Tori's not one to party when the parents are gone.
Tori chuckled, "Yeah right. Have people come to my house, wreck it and stick me with the clean up. No thank you."
"True, which is why I'm glad I have a small place."
"So, don't take this the wrong way but why are you here? Shouldn't you be with the Wicked Witch?"
I rolled my eyes, despite the grin on my face, "Jade's rehearsing and I decided to come lounge on your couch."
"Well, it is comfy." She said, losing her grin and getting a serious look on her face. "Can I ask you something?"
"Ask away."
"Well, I've always wondered why are you dating Jade? I mean she's so mean and controlling and you're nothing alike. Your nice and caring while she's cruel and evil."
I chuckled, "She's not evil she just has her own way of thinking. She's not all that bad." Though her question did get me wondering why I am dating Jade. Tori's got a point: Jade and I are nothing alike. We're always arguing over something and it's mostly her that starts it.
Tori frowned and muttered something that sounded like "I think you can do better."
Deciding to ignore it I took this time to start my interrogation. "Now it's my turn to ask you something: What do you like in a guy?"
She looked at me wide eyed, caught off guard, then quickly recovered, "Well, I like nice guys. You know, sweet, caring, good-looking and not a cheater or a user."
"So, skin doesn't matter to you?"
"No. I mean why would it? It's what's inside that counts right?"
I nodded, "Right. So, are you crushing on anyone right now?"
"Beck!" Tori tried to look stern but her giggles were ruining the illusion.
"Come on. We're friends right?" I urged.
She caved, "Okay! Okay, yes, I have a crush on someone right now."
"Mind if I ask who?"
"You can ask but you won't get an answer."
I decided to drop the subject then, push her and I'll never get an answer and she'll be really po'd at me. Tori went to get us some questionable pink lemonade and I had to ignore the nagging feeling in my gut about her crushing on someone. Maybe she likes Andre back.
