BECK'S POV

"Jade we're going to be late!" I shouted at Jade, who had locked herself in the bathroom after throwing a fit about me not telling her the party was black tie, and that she couldn't wear black, until an hour before the party.

"Shut up Beck, this is your fault!" she snapped from behind the closed door.

After about 10 minutes, I glanced at my watch again. "Jade! We are going to be late!" I yelled. My parents were very clear if we didn't ride there with them, we had to be on time.

I looked in surprise as I heard the door open and saw my girlfriend walk out. "Chill out," she said rolling her eyes casually.

I tried my best not to stare at her, which was hard. She was wearing a red sleeveless dress with a sweetheart neckline. It stopped right above her knees, and he hair was curled and fell around her face like an angel (although if I ever told her that, she'd probably cut all my hair off in my sleep.)

"What?!" she snapped.

"You're gorgeous." I said lamely. Smooth Beck.

She rolled her eyes at me, which I expected, and blushed a little, which I thought was adorable (again, she'd kill me if she knew). "Yeah, I know." she said, walking towards me. She raised her eyebrow and smirked at me. "You can't even dress yourself can you? "She said, probably referring to the mangled tie I had attempted to knot around my collar.

"I thought I did pretty good." I defended, as I allowed her to come closer and fix it, still smirking. I looked down at her as she worked. God, I loved her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me and kissed her. She responded, but after a second, pulled back.

"We're going to be late." She said, mocking me, and turning to leave.

I rolled my eyes. "Tease!" I shouted, following her faithfully.

When we pulled into the party it was already in full swing. We got out of the car and I grabbed her by the hand, starting to walk towards the door. I felt Jade nervously hesitated. "They'll love you." I promised, gently kissing her temple. She silently followed. I knocked on the door, and heard her say beside me, "I'm not nervous."

"I know." I said smiling, and giving her hand a squeeze just as the door opened.

"Beck!" My aunt cried, pulling me into a hug. I responded, politely saying, "Great to see you, Aunt Sue."

She pulled back and looked between me and Jade expectantly. "This is-"I started to introduce Jade before she cut in.

"Jade." My girlfriend stated bluntly, "I'm Beck's girlfriend."

I saw my aunt eye her up and down judgmentally, taking her in from her tight dress, to the piercings in her eyebrow, to the small tattoo on the inside of her arm. Jade stood there unflinching under my aunt's critical stare. "Well Jade, that certainly is a…pretty dress." She said finally.

"It sure is." I heard someone say. I turned around to see my cousin Josh taking Jade in himself. I already knew what he was seeing. He was seeing an extremely hot chick in a tight dress. That's what most guys saw. I'll admit I didn't like it. It's not that I was jealous, it's just Josh is a bit of a player. I was just looking out for her is all.

My Aunt Sue took the opportunity to slip away, as Josh came closer."This is your girlfriend?" he said to me. "I didn't know she'd be so hot."

I rolled my eyes and saw Jade smirk beside me. "This is my girlfriend Jade, Jade, this is my cousin Josh." I said.

"The pleasures all mine." He said, taking her hand.

"Yeah, no shit." Jade said, rolling her eyes. That's my girl.

Josh laughed at her, "I like her." He said.

Jade gave him a small smile, which I was surprised by. Josh and Jade began talking while I sat by lamely. They had a surprising amount in common. I shifted uncomfortably, not exactly liking where the situation was going. I wasn't jealous though. I'm not the one who gets jealous.

"Beck!" I looked over to see my uncle coming towards me. "Could you come help me please? We need more hands to bring in the food for dinner."

I looked back at Josh, talking to Jade, who was actually laughing I definitely didn't want to leave them alone. But I didn't want to say no either.

"Um…sure…" I said. "Jade I'll be right back." I said tapping her shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah." She said waving me off.

I quickly went outside to help my uncle. I finished up as fast as possible and hurried back inside. I couldn't believe what I saw. Josh and Jade's lips were locked. He was kissing Jade. My Jade. Right then I didn't care about whether I was jealous or not. Right then I was left to my gut, and my gut said to his Josh in his face...hard

Jade's POV

After Beck left, I sat talking to Josh. I couldn't believe I found someone here I actually liked, and who loved black coffee and The Scissoring too. Suddenly I heard someone (probably another of Beck's annoying cousins or something) yell "Hey! Josh and Beck's girl are under the mistletoe!" I looked up and sure enough, the green plant was hanging above us.

I looked to Josh, who was raising his eyebrows expectantly. "No chance." I said scowling. I saw how twitchy Beck looked about me and Josh, and although I jump at every chance I get to make him jealous, I just couldn't bring myself to do that to him. But all his stupid relative were yelling things like "You have to, it's bad luck" "Yeah its tradition!" "Kiss! Kiss!"

I rolled my eyes. "Let's get it over with." I said. I leaned forward and kissed Josh hesitantly. It wasn't like kissing Beck, though I won't say it wasn't still nice.

Suddenly I felt Josh being yanked back suddenly, and gasped, surprised. I heard people scream as I looked up to see Josh fall to the ground with a thud, and Beck standing furiously over him.

"You asshole!" Beck shouted down at him. I heard people gasp and cover up their children's ears.

"Beck." I hissed.

"How could you do this!" he said spinning around to face me, "I thought we loved each other!"

"BECK." I tried again.

"I thought you'd never do something like this! That is what you said? Isn't it? Isn't it!?" he shouted.

"BECK!" I screamed. He finally stopped and looked at me, hurt clear in his eyes. I sighed and closed my eyes. "Look up." I said gently.

He looked up and saw the mistletoe hanging above his head. "Oh." He said quietly.

'Aunt Sue' was pulling Josh off the ground and giving him ice, as everyone was starting to disperse, sending glares our way. I took Beck's hand as we walked outside.

"Babe, I'm sorry," he said sighing and rubbing the back of his neck. "I just, I saw you and Josh and I though he- I mean I thought you-"

I cut him off as I crashed my lips into his, wrapping my arms around his neck. After a minute or two, I pulled away. "Now you know how I feel." I said smiling. He smiled back shyly. "But seriously, I would never do that you idiot."

"I know." He sighed, "I love you," he said, pulling me towards him.

"…I love you too." I said right before our lips touched. He pulled back quickly, smiling widely, his eyes sparkling. "Don't get used to it." I teased smirking, before leaning in to kiss him again.
