A Kiss: To touch or caress with the lips as an expression of affection, greeting, respect, or
amorousness. She was right he should have kissed her. But that went against everything
friends stood for. They were meant to be there for each other in a comforting way.
Friendship, it seemed last night they were oblivious to the word and had slipped back into
old habits. That had to stop. But it was easier said than done. In fact it hadn't even been said
aloud between the two of them. Beck and Jade. The two like magnets, unable to be kept
apart yet desperately trying to pull away from the label of being a couple as they no longer
were. Of course that didn't mean they didn't want to be, but neither would admit that being
friends was an idiotic idea and that a reunion was in order. Therefore friends of some kind
they were. The kind of friends who knew that they were in love with each other and didn't
bother hiding it. What was it meant to mean? An almost kiss between friends was one
thing, but an almost kiss between a broken up Beck and Jade was another.
Beck's Point Of View
I woke up to the sun streaming through the bulletproof windows of my RV; my head was
pounding no doubt from the confusion of my close encounter with Jade last night. I pushed
her to back of my mind for a mere twenty minutes to allow myself to get ready for another
day at the infamous Hollywood Art's Performing Arts School, I threw on a pair of dark jeans
and a plaid shirt. As soon as I was sat in my car with the remainders of my breakfast in hand
her crystal blue eyes flashed into thought. Damn Jade and all her glory. She'd just recently
returned her hair back to its natural brown shade paired with her royal blue highlights;
personally I preferred it to the jet black colour she had, had it previously. The brown gave
her skin a more natural glow, something that I found extremely enticing. There was
something incredibly wrong with me; I couldn't get Jade out of my head. I started the engine
and turned up the radio leaving it to play any old song just as so I had something other than
Jade to focus on. That tactic failed miserably and I kept thinking over what she had said to
me yesterday.
"You should have kissed me"
I was undoubtedly going to hell. I let her engulf my mind for the rest of the drive to school;
there was no way that I could remove her from my thoughts; it was as if her name was
engraved onto my brain, every single cell of it. I pulled into my usual spot and headed
straight towards my locker. I instantly scanned the halls for her. I watched as Jade slammed
open her scissor decorated locker and shove some books inside. She had her silky brown
hair tied up in a messy bun, with a pair of large black sunglasses shielding her eyes from my
view. She was dressed in usual Jade attire. Black top, black skirt and Doc Marten's. I needed
to talk to her about yesterday but I wasn't aware of how to go about it, as I proceeded to
walk towards her my path was obstructed by a beaming Tori Vega.
"Hey!" She smiled her ever chipper self
"Uh yeah hey," I muttered my main wish for her to move aside so that I could talk to Jade. I
wasn't aiming to be rude, I had nothing against Tori, she was a lovely girl and had such an
enthusiastic personality but at times it could grow annoying. Like now for example when my
one aim was to be able to talk to Jade.
"Looking forward to Improv today?" She asked smiling up at me
"Uh yeah definitely, Improv my favourite subject," I babbled trying to side step around her.
"Beck are you okay? you seem a bit distracted," She asked truly concerned
"I'm fine, I've just got somewhere I need to be," I told her not giving her chance to try to
restart the conversation. Luckily Jade was still at her locker fiddling with something inside.
"We need to talk," I informed her leaning against the lockers beside her. She turned her face
towards me.
"What were you and Vega just talking about?" She asked me completely ignoring my earlier
statement.
"What? Nothing, she was just asking me about Improv today," I told her
"She looked as if she wanted to pounce on you," Jade sneered
"And that bothers you why?" I questioned sensing her jealousy
"I just don't like vicious vultures preying on innocent boys like you," She smirked
"Right so it had nothing to do with you being jealous maybe?"
She instantly pulled off her sunglasses allowing her to glare at me.
"Jealousy is not a word I like to associate myself with, besides I hardly think that's the
reason you came over here to talk to me," Jade scolded
"Of course, come on let's go somewhere private," I instructed.
"Wow Beck you're always trying to lure me into private sectors, aren't you?"
I couldn't help but smile at her comments; I grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the
janitor' closet, it seemed we solved out all of our problems in this place.
"How can I help you?" Jade questioned leaning back against the wall
"Yesterday," I began
"Uh huh," She sighed
"What exactly was that?" I asked her needing to hear her interpretation of the situation.
"You tell me," She snapped
"Jade, please," I pleaded with her
"I don't know! We were messing around as friends do and then for a moment we fell back
into old habits, simple as,"
"But is it, is it really that simple?"
"It is if we want it to be,"
"But you told me that I should have kissed you,"
"Look Beck I know what I said, but you never kissed me, so technically nothing happened
meaning our friendship is still intact,
"So no harm done?" I asked needing to be certain looking her directly in the eyes.
Jade's Point Of View
"No harm done," I lied; I'd been doing that a lot lately.
I could tell he didn't truly believe me; Beck had a sense of uncertainty within his beautiful
brown eyes.
"Right well then I'll see you later then, yeah?" He asked
"Of course, I'll see you later," I replied and with that headed we headed off to our first
lesson.
The school day passed by uneventfully and as soon as I arrived home I went straight for
much needed nap. I painted my nails black when I woke and found myself thinking about
Beck. I wanted to see him, and so I decided I would. My house was deserted as usual so
leaving was no problem, It was around 8.30 and I was home alone like always. Seeing Beck
meant I would be able to cure that feeling of loneliness. I drove quickly to his RV and didn't
bother knocking before I entered. It was true old habits did die hard.
"Jade," Beck jumped surprised to see me, obviously unsure what to think about my
unexpected arrival.
"Hey," I smiled weakly still standing by the door.
"What are you doing here?" He asked standing up and coming over to me
"I just wanted to come and see my friend," I told him prolonging the word friend for not
only his sake but my own also.
"Of course, do you want to sit down?" he asked gesturing towards the couch.
"Actually, I was wondering if you'd lay with me?" I mentally slapped myself as soon as the
words slipped out. I waited for Beck's outrage at the suggestion but it never came.
"If that's what you want?" He smiled
"It is," I murmured.
I walked slowly over to his bed, removed my boots and just lay on top of the cover; it was
odd lying here again. I felt Beck place himself gingerly beside me. Our arms touching. We lay
there in silence for a while taking in the peace and quiet. I didn't know what I was doing or
why, but I just needed Beck, I craved him at that precise moment. I felt his hand slip into
mine as we lay there and I knew instantly that this again was not something that we should
have been doing. Friends! Pft we made a mockery of the word. I turned to face him, my eyes
meeting his.
"What are we doing Jade?" He asked looking away from me and up at the ceiling
"I don't know anymore," I admitted, I was undoubtedly confused.
"This doesn't feel like just friends to me," Beck admitted, he was right we were crossing the
line. If we're going to cross a line we may as well do it properly. I sat up his hand still in
mine.
"Kiss me Beck," I told him looking him directly in the eyes. I lowered my head so that my
face was a mere inches from his.
"Do it now," I murmured allowing my breath to waft over his face. Beck didn't object, he
simply reached up and closed the gap between our lips.
Bade mania! R&R please
