DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VICTORiOUS. This chapter is from Beck's POV.
Chapter 2
Polar Couple
Jade and I are in her temp home watching TV. I woke up and saw her crying. I tried to comfort her, but she rebuffed me nastily. It's hard to reach her sometimes. She has so many walls built up, that she rejects people's attempts to be nice to her.
The irony is that lately, she has become nicer towards people. With me, she's just the same.
Things have been difficult for me too. I find it difficult to express myself.
Jade understands fortunately, so it's easier for me to talk to her.
She tries to have sex with me, but a lot of times, I'm not in the mood. It's the same the other way around.
But, when we're in the mood, it's not much. We don't last too long, or we lose interest. I wish there was something I could do to make everything right with us.
The show we're watching ends and another one comes on shortly afterwards.
"Put something else on." Jade demands.
"Magic word?" I ask jokingly, lifting the remote.
"If you want sex tonight, do it." She replies in her sultry voice. Hate it when she does that.
"Fair enough." I reply, flipping through the stations. Most of the shows we normally watch aren't on because the LA studio isn't repaired yet. At least they're are done shows with other studios not in LA.
"Is Millionaire on? That's always a good one." Jade suggests. I check my watch and it's just about six, which is when it's on.
"Yeah, it's coming on now." I reply, going to the proper channel. I shift in my seat a little and put my arm around her shoulder.
"No!" She shouts suddenly. I look at her.
"What?" I ask, confused.
"I don't want your arm around my shoulder." She says.
"Well, where do you want it then?" I ask, more confused.
"Lie down." She orders, standing up. I shrug and shift myself so that I'm lying on the sofa. I look up at her, waiting for the next move. She climbs on top of me and lies down. "Now you can put your and around me." She mutters. I smile and strap my arms around her body. She grabs one of my hands and lowers it, so that it's on her ass. Wow, she's really serious about wanting to do it tonight.
"Why not do it now?" I ask. Seriously, we're practically at second base.
"I'm not in the mood yet." She says simply.
"I can help with that." I reply, moving the hand on her ass a little. She smiles a little.
"Hmm. Well, my family won't be back for another twenty minutes." She states. I smile.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" I ask.
"Not a fucking thing." She replies and she brings her lips to mine.
Five minutes later.
"Anything?"
"No." I reply.
"Damnit, your penis is a dick." Jade remarks.
We are in her room under the covers of her bed. I can't get hard, despite all the excitement earlier. Like I said earlier, this has been a problem for both of us.
"I'm sorry babe, I'm trying, but nothing's happening." I tell her.
"Beck do you know what today is?" Jade asks.
"Monday." I reply instantly.
"No, jackass."
"Then what?" I ask.
"Today's our anniversary." She replies, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Really? Today?" I ask, surprised.
"April 21st." She replies, tears falling from her eyes in streams.
"Fuck man." I say, running a hand through my hair. I don't believe this.
"Six years, Beck." Jade says, now sobbing. "Six years."
"I can't believe I forgot." I say embarrassedly.
"I can't believe I remembered." Jade moans. I smile weakly. An idea strikes me.
"Let's go on a picnic." I announce. Jade stops sobbing and wipers her eyes to give me a confused look.
"A picnic?" She asks, unsure if she heard me right.
"Yeah, why not? Let's go in the 'backyard' and have some sandwiches or something on a blanket." I suggest. She looks at me a while. She's stopped crying and her eyes are red because of it. She wipes her eyes again.
"Yeah; let's do it." She replies. I smile and kiss her. "If you do it right, you might get lucky again." She adds afterwards.
"I'll see what I can do." I reply, smiling deviously.
A few minutes later, we are in her 'backyard'. The yard is just an area of grass, dirt, and weeds and is pretty small and not really her backyard, but the backyard to other temp homes. We are on a blanket with some sandwiches and drinks. Jade brought some the sheets to her bed with her, so we can do it, if I 'do it right'.
"This is nice. I love it." Jade says, looking around her.
"I wish it were a little more romantic." I say. She shakes her head.
"Everything can't always be perfect." She says.
"Yeah, but Jade, this is our sixth year as a couple." I point out.
"I know, Beck, but as long as we're happy, that's all that matters, right?" She asks.
"Yeah…" I reply.
"Are you happy?" she asks in a serious tone of voice.
"I am very happy. I am with the girl of my dreams and have been for nearly a decade and I want to be with her forever." I reply, in an equally serious tone.
"OK, Cupid." She chortles. I chuckle a little.
"How about you?" I ask her.
"I am happy to be with you, Beck. I love you." She replies.
"I love you, too." I say and we lean in and kiss again.
I think it's safe to say that I 'did it right'.
