Chapter 3: Mutual
Beck's POV
I wanted her. I had never desired something so much in my life. Her lips curved at the right degree when she smiled. Her eyes were the colour of sapphire crystals one day, the colour of emeralds the next. Her long dark hair sprawled out around her shoulders like a model's. She walked with purpose and determination, the soft swivel of her hips hypnotized me. I wanted to place my hands on her hips, to run my hands down her thin arms in comfort, to cup the angel's face in my hands, to feel the soft waves of her hair on my fingers and to be intoxicated by her kiss once more. I wanted Jade West, and there was nothing I could do to prevent myself from pursuing that need. I saw in my R.V staring up at the ceiling, a love struck and dazed expression probably on my face. My hands folded over my stomach, I could feel the gentle falls and rises of my breathing. I had finished my homework and had even started working on some assignments; I had also attempted to write a duet without her, knowing that I would be all too distracted tomorrow evening. However, the song only consisted of how much I wanted her, how much I desperately wanted to be with her.
I hope she didn't notice the faltering of my gazes when she looked away, the dropping of my jaw at her beauty and smile and the rapid blinking of my eyes that such an unbelievably talented and breathtaking person stood before me. I was stupid. How had I been thinking about this one girl so much, it had been, what, two days? What was happening to me? Girls were usually the ones swooning over me, which honestly, made me happy. But her, she didn't give me a second glance. This is why I had wanted her in the first place, but this want had turned into need somewhere in the past twenty-four hours. Why? Why had I set myself up in this path of destruction? I needed a plan, but I had two options already. With this plan, I either needed to set myself up for the path of heartbreak or getting over her, now, or, the complete opposite, get the angelic girl to fall for the boy.
I had already known which path I had wanted to take before I had thought about it, now the only thing left to do was to put some kind of steps in action. I wanted her and I was going to get her.
Jade's POV
Not good, not good. I slowly pulled myself away from the person I had just crashed into, trying to think of millions of different excuses. Tori looked down at me and I laughed, time to see if this girl was as oblivious to nosey people as the organisation had said.
"Oh sorry! You said third door? I didn't realise until I had gone inside!" I said, running my hands through my hair and smiling innocently.
"Silly!" she cooed and pointed to the door to my right. I scornfully face-palmed myself and walked into the bathroom. I shut the white door and locked it, glancing into the large pristine mirror. I gripped the side of the sink, my eyes widening and I exhaled loudly. That was close. Thank the Lord Tori Vega wasn't the brightest crayon in the box!
I hurriedly grabbed my phone out of my bag and texted Maria.
To: Maria
From: Jade
Listening devices are planted in Vega's office, tap into line 3 to get any conversations or what not. Still at the Vega's, you can pick me up at 8. See you then.
My phone buzzed with a reply almost immediately.
From: Maria
Good job, see you at 8.
I chucked the mobile back into my bag, it rattled against the mini cameras. I took a few pieces of toilet paper off the roll, shoved most in the toilet and crumpled one up and put it on the floor. I flushed the toilet as if I had used it, turned the water on at the sink and fixed my flustered hair. I pouted my lips a few times and pinched my cheeks before smiling at myself, grabbing my bag and exiting the large bathroom. I gripped my back to my side and went back down to the main sitting area, knowing dinner had to be ready soon. Descending the stairs, I glanced to my left, a clock hung on the plain white wall. It was already 7:20, not too much longer before I had to leave. Tori was helping her mother in the kitchen, I could smell coconut, chicken and curry powder, and we were having curry. Curry was actually one of my favourite foods so I was happy I had been invited tonight.
"Smells delicious!" I sang over to where they were standing, both turned around and smiled and her mother thanked me.
"Just take a seat wherever Sweetie!" Eloise cooed, flipping her hand in the air towards the table. I grabbed the chair closest to me and sat down, placing my bag securely underneath it. Trina trudged down the stairs, her iPod blaring in her ears. I could hear the words of the song she was listening to, slowly I picked up on the tune, I was pretty sure it was a Ke$ha song. She danced around the living room, swerving around the couches and then she party rock shuffled up the steps into the seat across from me. God, wasn't she cool, I knew who I wanted to be when I grew up. I smiled at my own bitter sarcasm and smelt the sweet coconut and curry powder smell, instantly rumbling my stomach. Tori came and sat beside me, handing me a clean white plate and eating utensils. I thanked her and then her mother came over with a big pot in her hands. She placed it on the table and then hurriedly raced back over to the kitchen, retrieving another large pot of steamed rice.
Everyone dug in; the spicy taste of the curry leaving us with nothing to talk about besides how hot it was, but nice. It was delicious; I didn't say anything the whole meal because I was enjoying it so much. Finally, we had finished, Tori and her mother starting a conversation about school, I just listened. Trina continued to belt out her iPod, not caring about anything around her, that annoyed me. There we go, a stereotypical, annoying, ignorant and conceited teenager, I hate that.
Suddenly I heard the doorbell ring and I glanced at the clock, it was already eight. I smiled at everyone,
"Thank you all so much for having me!"
"Oh darl, it was an absolute pleasure, you are welcome here anytime you want!" her mother said, standing up and brushing me up into a tight hug. I hugged Tori and told her I would see her at school, she smiled as I left. I walked out the door,
"Hi mum" I said, Maria smiled at me knowingly and then closed the door, waving a hand of thanks inside to Eloise and Tori. She walked down the steps and smiled at me,
"Good job tonight, very useful and brilliant progress tonight, the administrators and mission controllers are really impressed"
"So they should be" I smiled as we hopped into the black SUV. She hit the gas and we drove home to the safe house, the car pulling into a much smaller driveway and much smaller house than the Vega's.
We entered the house; the only light on was the kitchen as the television light flickered in the living room. Zach was watching the football, his feet propped up on the small coffee table between the couch and the television. He heard us enter and immediately bounced off the couch, his face filled with excitement.
"I did it! I'm close to Vega. He liked me and was happy to take me as his assistant!" we all smiled and congratulated each other. I don't think any other mission had fallen into place so quickly before, Hollywood was so weird.
...
The next morning, my alarm went off at six, and I strutted out to the kitchen, I ate my breakfast and then had a quick shower. It was seven-fifteen and I didn't want to sit around planning out my day for the next half-hour, I wanted this morning to be different. I wanted to have some fun now, I had achieved something that had been originally planned to be achieved in two weeks, and it had only been two days. I deserved it. I scrolled through my contact list until I found their name. Hesitantly, I slowly lowered my finger to the call button and bought it up to my ear. The ringing started in my ear and it only took them two rings before their husky voice answered,
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Jade" I smiled, knowing they wouldn't be expecting me to call them in the morning.
"Jade! Oh, hey, why um, what's up?" Beck asked, I heard him roll out of bed onto the floor as he inhaled and exhaled deeply.
"Not much" I answered, twirling a piece of hair around my finger. Why was I doing this? I was actually making this mission harder, but truthfully, I had needed to hear his voice. Oh God, I sounded so pathetic. I sighed and pitied my dismal teenage hormones and waited for him to answer.
"Oh yeah, that's good. I mean, I'm fine, been up for a while, making coffee and stuff" he said quickly. Was Beck Oliver flustered? Was the cool guy of school caught off guard at my phone call? I felt ecstatic inside at his inept response and felt the need to play this out even more than I had planned. I smiled and my I felt my eyes glow as I responded,
"Um, you know, I was actually wondering if you could pick me up this morning, or I could just walk to your house because you know you live pretty close to me. And, could you give me a lift to school from your place? Maria's car started smoking up this morning and she can't drive me" I closed my eyes as I waited for the lie to be processed. Maria wasn't going to drive me to school anyway; she had already gone to work in the not-so-broken car. I felt him stutter and then oblige, I could hear him trying to compose himself and act cool.
"Yeah, all sweet" he said coolly, "Do you want a coffee when you get here?"
He really did know how to please me, and turn this conversation around to me being the giddy one as well.
"Two sugars" I said before hanging up and smiling. I went and pulled a long sleeve bluey green shirt over my head and plucked a black skirt off the shelf. I slipped on a pair of stockings with ladders up each side and then pulled the short skirt on. I flitted into the black combat boots and touched up on my eyeliner before grabbing my shoulder bag and taking the short cut across the park and two blocks to Beck's place. I just realised, I had never actually asked him where he lived, so he was probably wondering how the hell I knew his address, but I didn't care. Nobody knew mine yet which was how it was supposed to be. My combat boots hit the footpath softly as I trudged through the narrow route of cement though the park. The trees hung low and there were little entryways to mini bush tracks everywhere, I liked this park. However, I wouldn't want to be stuck here at night, it had an eerie kind of feel to it which suddenly made me quicken my pace and round an early left to Beck's, meaning I had to go down an extra street before reaching his house. I walked up the short gravelled driveway and turned sharply to my left as I heard something slam. Beck exited from an RV and started walking towards the house, I began to follow but he had already heard the crunching of my boots on the gravel. He wore a black singlet and loose jeans, the collar of his bonds underwear visible above his sinking bottoms.
"Oh Jade, you're here" he said, running a tanned hand through his slightly tousled hair. His eyes raked up and down my body and his eyes went slightly wider.
"You can go inside, I'll be there in a second I just have to grab my other shirt off the clothesline" he motioned to the RV. Now, I had done my research but obviously not enough. I didn't know Beck actually lived an RV outside his own house, which was a surprise I really wasn't expecting. I smiled, hiding the initial shock on my face as I tightened my grip on my bag and entered the RV.
Beck's POV
Jade was coming over here, to be honest I was kind of freaking out. Last night I had dreamt about her and yeah ... we won't go into that right now. I pulled on my baggy jeans over my bonds underwear and just decided to wear the same singlet I had slept in. I ran my hand through my hair and decided I wanted to wear my black and grey flannelette shirt. I exited my RV and began to walk around the back of the house to the clothesline when I heard something. I turned around to see Jade walking towards me, the thudding of her combat boots on the gravel filling my ears and a beautiful figure blocking out anything else visible. She wore a black skirt with stockings, ladders up the sides; the skirt was pulled up to above her waist which meant I could see more of her toned legs. She had a deep green long-sleeved shirt on, the buttons over her chest slightly unbuttoned to show the crevice of her breasts. Her black nail polished fingers tapped against her bag strap as her gorgeous eyes glanced into mine looking for direction. I turned around and quickly said,
"Oh Jade, your here" I ran my hand through my hair nervously. Yeah, good one Beck, thank you captain obvious, she knows she is here you moron! She smiled at me and I told her to wait in the RV, before jogging through the house to the clothesline out back. I ripped it off the blue clip pegs and shoved my arms through the sleeves, jogging back through the house to my RV. I stopped outside and took a deep breath, before plucking out my collar, running a hand through my hair and entering. I put a lazy smile on my face and entered, her head was on my pillow and the smile fell of my face into a gaping desire. Her legs were propped up, one resting over the other on my bed, her arms behind her head as her hair sprawled out over my pillow. I let the door go but almost kicked myself when she jumped at the sound of it.
"Sorry Beck" she said, jumping off the bed, and smoothing her skirt over.
"It's cool" I said softly, sauntering over to the low bed and sitting down. I quickly bounced up again and grabbed her coffee that I had made her, off the desk. She smiled as she cupped it in her hands and sipped some of the warm contents. I glanced at her; her eyes closed as the liquid consumed her and made her feel better. But, thanks to my male hormones, all I wanted to do was kiss her. I started leaning and my eyes widened and I pulled myself back and looked away. I didn't just almost do that did I? That did not just happen? She put the cup back onto the desk and lay back down on my bed. I took a shot, knowing this was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity. A beautiful girl was lying on my bed, this didn't happen in reality. I lay down beside her, our arms brushed up against each other and I could feel the edges of her hair on my cheek. Her shampoo smelt of vanilla and raspberries, the scent intoxicated me and I exhaled deeply for what, the fifth time that morning in the past ten minutes.
"You don't think this is weird do you?" she asked, her eyes still closed, her thick lashes wavering softly. What was the answer to that? I decided just to tell the truth but hide my butterflies.
"No"
"Good, because I'm comfortable and not moving" she said, I chuckled beside her. I felt her body shake lightly too as she laughed, her mouth parting and one of the most beautiful sounds coming out.
Jade's POV
He lay down beside me, his tanned toned arms brushing against mine, sending small tingles through my body. This was harder than I had perceived. Lying down next to Beck Oliver was something I bet every teenage girl had dreamed about at Hollywood Arts and here I was one Wednesday morning in my first week, on his bed. Man, a new thing every day, Hollywood just kept on surprising me. I closed my eyes, the soft sounds of nearby traffic and morning birds filling my ears. Suddenly, warm fingers were running up and down my upper arm, they travelled down to my shoulder and then reached my elbow. It felt nice, so I didn't move, wanting this bliss to continue and it did. I felt Beck shuffle closer to me, his legs now pressed against mine as his palm now ran up and down my arm. The back of his hand ran down my side, igniting a fire in my lower stomach. I felt his head against my arm now, his soft breath tickling my neck. I felt my breathing become heavier as we both got more into the moment. His hand ran down my side once more but then caressed over the thin material of my shirt over my stomach. I kept my eyes closed, not daring to look into his deep brown eyes. But I couldn't take it anymore, I didn't know whether he was having the same urge as me right now, but being the confident and impulsive person I was, I couldn't help myself. I shuffled onto my side and faced him, my eyes slowly opening to gaze into his. Our faces were only inches apart and at this his hand stopped caressing me and rested on my hips. I lifted my hand to his cheek and I could see his chest start to rise and fall quicker than before. His hands came up along my side, brushing over the dip of my waist and mound of my breast, over my shoulders and up to my face. His thumb rested on my lip, tracing it. I leaned my face towards him as my hand rested on the back of his neck. His hand went back to my hip and gripped me nearer to him as we moved closer towards each other. He breathed out and I tasted mint on his breath and he probably tasted coffee on mine. His other arm came out from under him and cupped my face as our lips touched. It felt amazing, like the first time but one hundred times better; now it meant something, now it was mutual. The first one had been a short peck that was meant to impress people, but this was different. Our lips parted hungrily as I felt at home, pressing myself against him, feeling my heart hammer against his. I tangled my hands in his hair, my other arm on the underside of his cheek. His arm was wrapped around my waist, our stomachs rubbed against each other and his other hand clasped the side of my head behind my ear. He rolled on top of me and our lips never broke apart. He pushed down on me, his tongue demanding entrance to my mouth. I granted it to him and his tongue ran over my lower lip and I arched my back. He moaned against my lips which made the butterflies in my stomach get butterflies of their own. I pulled him down on top of me until every part of our bodies was touching. His hands ran over me, grazing my breasts causing me to groan slightly, I felt his pants tighten around his groin area as I did. I smiled against his lips and widened our mouths, granting him more entrance. He flipped us over once more so I was straddling him. My skirt had ridden up to the top of my thighs, one of his hands rested on the lower part of my back, the other on my face. His hand slowly slid down my back onto my ass and he smiled. I could definitely feel the bulge in his pants now and leant forward. I brushed my lips against his jawbone and he moaned in my ear. He kissed me passionately on the lips once more and we were both smiling now, hands roaming over each other's bodies.
Suddenly, we heard a ringing tone and I jumped off him out of fright. I tumbled onto the floor and he jumped off the bed after me.
"Oh God, are you okay?" he asked, eyes widening, his tousled hair hanging over his eyes. I got up off the floor and downed the rest of my coffee.
"Yep, fine. What the fuck was that?" I said, looking around the room. Oh that probably wasn't a good move, just dropped the f bomb for the first time around him. I looked back at him sheepishly but he just smiled and pecked me on the forehead.
"We have to go to school now"
"Oh right, forgot about that" I muttered, running my fingers through my hair, trying to put slightly back in a natural flow. He straightened out his shirt as I pulled down my skirt and combed my fingers through my hair. He grabbed his car keys off the bench and looked at me.
"Well at least there's no awkward moments after a make out session" he joked; I laughed and grabbed my bag, exiting the RV out of him. We jumped into his truck, my bag on my lap, his in between our two seats. He put the keys into the ignition and hit the gas, reversing out of his driveway and calling out a goodbye to his parents inside. We pulled out of the driveway and drove down the street onto the main road. We pulled up at a traffic light and he drummed his fingers to quick beat on the steering wheel.
"So much for no awkward moments" I muttered, he smiled and leaned over towards me.
He tipped my chin up and kissed me and I smiled against it, as I kissed him back. He turned back towards the road as I sat smugly and immaturely satisfied in my seat.
"What does this mean?" he suddenly questioned, looking towards me with a slightly confused expression on his face. "What are we?"
"I don't know" I said, I turned back towards the road and he took my response as normal. I didn't know what had just happened, and I had no idea how I had allowed myself to do it. This probably wasn't part of the mission criteria. I was just praying there was somewhere in the mission briefing that I had skipped that said something along the lines of:
If some of mission is completed in a short amount of time, get very friendly with the boy, including making out on his bed on your third day on the mission.
Yeah, I was hoping something like that on the briefing, I had missed or something.
Before I knew it, we had rocked up in the school parking lot and were exiting the truck. He walked around to my side which was on the outbound side, out of sight of any students. He pushed me up against the truck and pressed his lips against mine.
"I'm not going to force anything, we can talk about this tonight at our study session" he smiled and kissed me on the forehead, he squeezed my hand in his and then dropped it as we made our way towards the double doors of Hollywood Arts. My heart was beating quickly in my chest as I contemplated what my next move was. I just smiled and decided that would be figured out this afternoon at Beck's house ... I mean RV. The doors flew open and we both walked to our lockers, gave each other little smiles and then headed off to our first classes, either of us knowing that this morning was the start of something disastrous, something that should have never happened, something that was provoked by our morning fling.
Partial cliff-hanger! What will happen next? Questions, what will Jade do now? Are her and Beck going to date? What is this disastrous thing that is said to be taking place now? What's happening on the other side of the mission with Zach and Maria? How will Tori deal with Beck and Jade's relationship if they begin to date? Tell me what you think is going to happen!
