Chapter 3: And For Good Measure
If I could want one thing more than ever, it would be to be a teleporter. The moment I had gotten that call it took me exactly 4 minutes for me to be on Cat's street, racing at a speed I didn't think was possible for my car.
At first, I almost forgot to park the car. I had quickly jumped out, and then my car gave a lurch forward. "FUCKING DAMMIT!" I went right back into the car and finally parked it. I ran to the front of her modern home, hoping that I wasn't the only one who knew there was trouble at the Valentine home.
I didn't even think about knocking. I had no time for knocking, this had to be urgent if she was calling me at 2 in the fucking morning. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Well shit, who's coming down the stairs? "Jade! Jade I knew you would come!" She booked it towards me.
It was totally dark in the home. So dark, I felt as though as I was surrounded by shadows that mocked me. I didn't like it. It took me a good milli-second to snap back into reality with Cat running towards me. I had my arms open wide, expecting that theres was a good chance I could buffer the hit. But it didn't work.
She had piled right into me as hard as she can and I landed on my ass. It had hurt, but I guess I couldn't complain since I had gotten her in my arms. Wait, what am I saying?
"Caterina Olivia Valentine, why the fuck am I at your house with the lights off?" And I had done it again in one night, I swore in front of her. But now was my chance.
"Jadey, yo-"
I cut her off before she had even though about ending her sentence with my lips. I didn't care about whether I swore or what the fuck ever, I had an animal instinct that was punching me to kiss her. And so I did.
I kissed her like she was my lifeline. Slowly, I wrapped my arms around her pulling her even closer. My tongue teased her bottom lip so I could get it open. This is what she gets for scaring the shit out of me. Goosebumps were rising, and I could definitely feel her giving into my kiss. She had finally kissed back, and started taking control of it.
I broke it off and pushed her away from me. "Why am I here?" I tried reaching out for her. Obviously, my body didn't get that if I pushed her away, I wanted her away. But my heart was being stupid, and pulled her back to me.
"My tv was broken and I know you're good with electronics so I thought I ought to call you before you went to bed." I was expecting a long story involving her brother Teddy and how he has to take meds but this was definitely different.
I nudged her with my head, "All you could've said was it was broken. You had me so worried, I thought something bad happened." I was pissed off, really pissed. But I realized that I shouldn't be since I didn't give myself the time to think about what it could possibly be. I thought she was in trouble, and we are tackling each other in her foyer. Good thinking, Jade. You fucking idiot.
"Well, lets go up there now and fix it, okay? Before we wake up your family or something…" I pulled myself up first, and had my arms hanging down for Cat to reach. I pulled her up and continued up her stairs with her to her bedroom. I felt like the butterflies in my stomach were having a party or something. I never felt so uneasy in Cat's room.
I came towards the tv in her birght colored room. Even if it was in the early morning, I could still see the pink wallpaper in her room. She had her parents convinced that she was a girly girl. But I didn't see her as that. I saw her for the poor misunderstood person that she was.
The tv was showing its bright blue screen, which either meant that the tape was stopped or she had to put one in. "Cat, did you put anything into the vcr before you started it?" Please don't be this dumb. Come on.
"Oh… nope, didn't think about that. Could you put the Little Mermaid one on? It's my favorite." She jumped in her bed, and it looked like she was making room for someone… someone named me.
I put the tape in and rewound it back to the beginning for her. I knew she hated it when she'd put a tape on in the middle of a movie. "There, fixed it all." I turned around and Cat was behind me. I jumped back right to the tv. "Ouch, God Cat, don't sneak up behind people, it's rude."
She was sorry for the start. She helped pull me up and she cradled me in her arms. "Shh, you okay?" She said as she patted my back. Great. Now Cat was babying me.
"I'm fine… just tired, that's all." Would this literally get me in bed with Cat? Oh God.
"Welllllll, I guess you'll just have to sleepover. You can wear a set of my pjs tonight, and I'll let you borrow my clothes for tomorrow. We can get your backpack tomorrow morning." Boo fucking yah.
I had to play it up though. "Fine, I guess that'll work. I'll take the floor then." I knew she was going to stop me as soon as I tried walking to her closet.
"Noo, that's okay Jade. You'll sleep in my bed, there's plenty of room for two." She smiled and gestured to the bed. Uh huh.
This was going to be interesting. But only in a good way. The best way.
