I am currently reading the script of the play that Tori and I have to play husband and wife in. The last scene is my favourite. You know why? We have to kiss. Yep, kiss. This will release some of my feelings, I just know okay.
It then occurred to me. Do we have to practice this kiss? I mean we rehearse everything else. So we will need to rehearse the kiss. I smiled at the thought and licked my lips. Time to make a phone call.
I dialled Tori's number.
Hello?
Hey Vega, im coming over.
I'm kind of busy tonight Jade.
I will be there in 15 Vega.
Jade I'm serious, I have math homework that needs to be done by tomorrow.
I rolled my eyes. I will help you with your stupid math homework.
You're good at math?
I'm good at everything. So I will see you in 15, kay bye.
I hung up, not caring if she had anything to say afterwards. The girl talks too much.
I chucked the script in my bag and proceeded to the front door.
"Where are you going?" I turn around to see my 10 year old sister, with her arms crossed like she is my fucking mother.
"None of your business turd brain" I turned back around, hand reaching for the door handle again.
"Where are you off to now Jade? Can't you at least spend one night talking to me and your sister" It was Moms voice. I somewhat laughed inside. Are you fucking serious?
"Um, no. You both annoy the hell out of me" Its true. They do.
I tried walking out the door again but my mom pulled me back. I yanked my arm back. And gave her a deathly look.
"Young lady, where are you going?" she asks again. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm going to Tori's house to rehearse for a play, happy?" My Mom nodded. And waved her hand as a gesture to get the hell out. My sister looked at me with a grin. What is that brat up to?
I finally escaped from that hell hole and got into my car. I started it up and drove in the direction of Vega's house.
On the way I stopped at a café and picked up a nice hot coffee. If I could, I swear I would marry this cup of deliciousness.
I arrived at Vega's and walked to her front door, knocking on it twice. Her father answered the door.
"Hi Jade, come in" I smiled at him. I was always nice to others peoples parents, I just didn't like my own.
"Thanks Mr Vega" I walked in and saw Tori with books layed all over the coffee table and the couch. She had her glasses on and she looked quite frustrated. I smiled. She made me feel frustration sometimes. A different type of frustration, but frustration none the less.
"Vega" She looked at me and smiled. Cute. I mean. Ah annoying. Fucking annoying.
"Hi Jade, I'm sorry the living room is such a mess" I shrug my shoulders and shove some of the books off of the couch and sat down.
"Do you have your script?" I ask. I just wanted to rehearse already.
"Yeah but I thought you would help me with my math work first?" I said I was but I really didn't want to. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, bring what you need and we will sit at the kitchen table" I'm not going soft, promise.
"She squealed with excitement" what a fucking weirdo.
We both sat down and she layed out her books. "I'm stuck on this question Jade" She points to a certain question; it seems to be financial mathematics. I rolled my eyes again. I can't believe I'm actually helping her. She fucking irritates me. I hate the way she gets so happy.
I take a look at the worded problem in her math book and I read out the question.
"Jimmy works at a local gas station and gets a staff discount. His discount of gas is 10%, his discount of other items in the store are 15%. One day jimmy puts 20 litres of gas in his car, where the original price of gas is 153.4 cents per litre. He then buys a soda and a bag of candy that originally costs $2.50 and $3.05, how much did he spend, considering his discount, in that day?" I look at Vega, she seems confused. I knew how to do this; I wasn't bad at maths to be honest.
"So, ahh, how do I work this out?" She asks. Too sweetly. Gross
I rolled my eyes again and snatched the pen from her. "Look I will show you" I start explaining things too her.
She shakes her head every now and then, but I'm not sure if she is getting it.
"Ok, Vega, Pay attention" I start working it out on paper again. "Let's focus on the gas discount first" She nods her head. "The discount Jimmy gets for gas is?"
"10%"
"Right, so you multiply that 10% by the original price of gas which is?"
"153.4c per litre?" I nod and she starts pressing buttons on her calculator.
"What does that equal?"
"0.15"
"Okay, so then we minus the discount price by the original price which is?"
"153.4 – 0.15, which equals $1.38"
"Great" I smile at her. Wow I don't know why I feel some sort of connection with her, whatever it is, it's strong. And I love it. I love her. She slides closer to me as she is peaking at my working outs. I just want to hold her. Yeah, hold her. Make her feel safe. Ugh listen to yourself Jade, you're being pathetic. Now focus, this math problem isn't finished yet. "So now Vega, we need to multiply that price by 20 because he purchased 20 litres"
She nods and works it out on her calculator. I stare at her. She is so beautiful and breath taking. Her lips look so soft and her hair shimmers in the light. I want to cup her face and kiss her with such passion. Jade, you are supposed to hate Vega too, you can't just love her. That is wrong.
Her voice suddenly cuts through my thoughts. Her beautiful voice. "That then equals $27.60"
I smile at her again. I am the weirdo now. "So now we have his discount price for the gas, we need to work out his discount price for the other items" She nods.
"So do we plus the 2.50 and 3.05 together" I nod and she proceeds to do so. "So that equals $5.55"
"Ok, so what we did before with the gas discount, try and work out this discount" She nods her head again. She is smiling still. She doesn't seem frustrated anymore. And I like that look. That confident look. I can feel her sitting so close to me. Her leg is pressed against mine, and I can feel the heat coming off of her. It's making me crazy. If she got any closer I could probably just kiss her. Jade. Don't. Be. A. Fuckwit. These feelings are supposed to leave. They will leave, I just need to focus.
"So Jade, I multiplied the 15% by the original price, which is $5.55. Which gave me a total of 80 cents. I then subtracted that from the original price, which then gave me $4.72" She smiled at me again.
"That is correct. Now you just add the price he paid for the both together and that gives you the total amount he paid that day" I smile at her again. Her beauty is distracting me from hating her. I suddenly don't feel any hate towards her, being so closed to her is making me spacey. Her scent drifts past my nose. Her smile shines at me; she has the most gorgeous smile I have ever seen. Her voice isn't even annoying anymore. It doesn't sound as whiney as usual. That's odd.
Jade you're supposed to hate Tori, don't forget that. Ok, it's cool Jade. It's just an in the moment thing. It's late and I'm tired.
"So the answer is $32.32?" Ugh Vega, stop flashing that sexy smile right in front of me.
I nodded in response. I was caught by her beauty. I hope she didn't think I was a creep for staring at her so long. I looked into her brown eyes. They looked curious about something. I stared into her eyes for a little too long, like a weirdo. I tried moving away from her but my hand touched her thigh. She was still smiling at me and looking deep into my eyes. What does she want from me? I took a deep breath. She started leaning in closer, as did I. I couldn't stop myself, at all. I closed my eyes, this was it. I was about to kiss Tori Vega and she was leaning in too.
Our lips connect. Her soft lips against mine send shivers round my body. My stomach is doing a million back flips. My mind is just like a bowl of scrambled eggs. Then she cups my face, she deepens the kiss. I kiss back with so much passion. I just wanted to keep kissing her. Her taste was amazing. I was always day dreaming about me taking her breath away, but she took mine.
We stopped kissing and looked at each other. She had the sweetest smile.
No, Jade, she is just playing tricks on you. Toying with your heart. You have to go, Jade. Before she laughs and makes fun of you. I almost start to cry. I bet that's what it is. Fuck, how could I let this happen? I have to hate this girl, not fall completely head over heels for her.
Vega looks at me with confusion as I stand up. My blood was boiling. I can't believe she would fucking do this. I pushed her away.
"Jade? What's wrong" She asks, with a fake concern.
I just shake my head. I couldn't speak. I felt like breaking down. This is bullshit. I just stormed out of the Vega household and started driving home.
Once again, having another crying fit while driving. And once again, taking it out on my steering wheel.
Fuck Vega, Fuck!
