"Has Beck told you about her? Her name is Tori Vega"
My heart stopped when I found out that Andre was pursuing Tori, but my heart also sped up at the mention of Tori's name. What was I supposed to say? If I ignored it and brushed it off I would look inconsiderate but if I told him that I did know her then my emotions may show through! So I did what I do best, I pried for more info on her, "Well i'm sorry to hear that Andre the player is hung up on one chick. Not to mention this has been going on since high school! What's so special about this Tori chick anyways?" I was lying through my teeth at this point, I knew what was so special about her and I had only met her for a few minutes. I can only imagine how great she'd be if I knew her for as long as Andre has.
He laughed at me then quieted down then he got this dreamy look in his eyes. "Tori is everything you love wrapped into a single human. She's kind and loving..." he chuckled then went on,"...and just amazing. There's no way you can't not love her. She's beautiful too, but that's the great thing about Tori, even if she was a disfigured Frankenstein creation you'd still love her, because her personality is so great." He was smiling so hard by now I thought his face would split in half, and honestly it pissed me off to no end.
"Well enough about all this love and stuff I'm gonna go play Pac Man now; I'll be seeing you around Andre." He looked at me strangely then talked again, "I thought we were going to play, ya know together? You just asked me not too long ago." He looked confused and didn't know what was going on with my sudden attitude change. I had to fix this and fast so he wouldn't suspect anything, "No I just remembered that I promised one of the little monsters a game first, but I'll take you up on that game later alright?" Andre brightened up at the mention of playing with me later and he nodded his affirmative and waved me out with a throaty laugh. I turned and fled out of his office as fast as possible and headed back to the game room.
Lucky for me Reina was already waiting there holding my place at the retro Pac Man machine. She grinned at me and signaled for me to walk faster so we could start the games. Standing next to Reina were two other girls, they were a year younger than us and were pretty cool all around, though we didn't talk much. They met us a few years after we had showed up at the orphanage when they saw us going at it on the Pac Man machine, they challenged us to a competition and we've kept it up since then. Since there were four of us and we each had a friend to play with, we formed two teams, and each player played through the levels than noted their scores. When each player for the team played we added the scores up and whoever had the highest combined scores was declared tournament winner until the next time we played. If one team held the winning position the longest they got a week's worth of the other teams allowance chips.
Allowance chips were the currency used in the orphanage. Lane had suggested the idea as a reward system for chores but took a step further when he said they just be given weekly based on behavior. So as long as you didn't bitch at everyone you were bound to be swimming in allowance chips. With the chips you could use them to buy toys, snacks, and other trinkets; or you could save them up and trade them for real money and buy something from a store. After playing Pac Man with Reina and the two other chicks and beating them, Carl came in and gathered us up and we all walked down to the community center. The community center was just as the name said, it was a place where the community could meet up, hold meetings about current issues, or plan on raising awareness for a cause. When we got to the community center we cleaned up the building, both inside and out to keep it looking nice. I usually had the job of watering the plants in the garden and picking new flowers to put in the vase at the front desk. But today we got to sit in at one of the community meetings, since we had cleaned up the place pretty damn good yesterday even if I left a bit earlier.
When we got to the building we went inside and went straight for the auditorium. Carl ordered us to start taking out and setting up the chairs so everyone could sit down. Reina and I handled taking the chairs out and passing them on to the others who placed them where they went. As I started unloading the next set of chairs Carl approached me," it's a real shame about what's going on with your dad gremlin. I know you hate the drunken bastard but I think you should go see him, ya' know; give daddy some love before he keels over. You won't even need us to drop you off, just get your pimp-I mean your friend, Beck to give you a ride" he leered at me. What a sick motherfucker! Man I hated Carl, he always insinuated shit like that! He thinks that since Beck still does things for me that I sleep with him in return. What's even more disturbing about that is that he never once tried to pursue the matter to see if it held any truth. Don't get me wrong I don't want to give beck trouble, but what kind of a freak do you have to be to not worry if a child is sexually involved with an adult? I fucking hate Carl I swear.
"Fuck you Carl! What goes on between my dad and I has jack shit to do with you. You fat sonofa-bitch! Don't think for a single second that I wouldn't kick your ass so hard that you'd wish you never crawled out of your mom's STD ridden vagina!" I ranted at him. Carl smirked at me, fucking shit; I fell for his mind games again! He always does this shit to me. Now he could write me up and I'd lose allowance chips. "Hey no need to get so feisty little mamma, I was just giving some friendly advice ya know?" He laughed loudly at me because my face was growing redder and redder with every word that feel out from his mouth. I turned away and stomped outside, forget it I don't give a fuck if I have to make up hours later, I can't do this shit.
_Carl POV_
HA! I pissed her off good, little bitch didn't even see it coming. After the Goth freak fled the building I laughed my ass off at her even more than before, not only was I going to write her up for profanity and threatening me, she'd have to come here during her Rec time to make up for not doing her work. What a dumb broad I mused. Now that she had gone her little blonde haired friend was still unloading the chairs, she hadn't said anything since our disagreement occurred, and I didn't bother trying to talk with her. She was a little dyke after all. I don't mind a little lez action but if I can't get in on it, then it's not something I necessarily approve of.
I strutted back into the auditorium where most of the kids had gathered and were finishing up with the chairs and such. I don't know why I was required to me to these meetings anyways, yeah I was in charge at the orphanage but they could send someone higher up than me to come do it! There was only one thing about these meetings that I enjoyed and that were the head of the community center. She was one of the hottest ladies I'd ever seen, she's got lots of money too, boy what I would give to get in her pants.
She got her money from some revolutionizing women's hygiene or something I didn't bother to remember what it was exactly that she did. But because of it she had enough money to buy out half of this entire town and still have enough left over to live comfortably for years afterwards. The broads name was Holly and she led these meetings after she started funding almost everything in the community. She regularly donated to the orphanage so the brats could have a good time there.
Speaking of her fine ass, her she comes now. "Well hello Ms. Vega, you're here awfully early." I told her. She looked at me and I see her shiver as we made eye contact, she totally wants me. She walked past me and scanned the auditorium and turned back to me before I could get a good look at her ass, my eyes settled on her tits instead as she began to talk to me. "Carl! Can you tell me why these kids are setting up for the meeting, when I specifically asked you and the others running the orphanage to do it yourselves?" I paled considerably at her question; I didn't think she'd remember that! I quickly made up a lie to not get on her bad side, after all that could ruin my chances with her.
"Oh...uh, Holly-" she glared at me and put her hand up, "no, please call me Ms. Vega." Ignoring her I continued. "It's not that I made the kids do it! The insisted on it! Really what kind of man would I be to make these kids set up in here when they are supposed to be relaxing before the meeting? These kids are so pure and kind that the wanted to personally help set up, they're too good honestly, this world doesn't deserve em'." I lied straight through my teeth, but yeah that's the truth. Holly wanted the kids down here so they could play a more active role in their community. But before the meeting she wanted them to relax any nerves they had but I feel that kids need discipline and hard work if they wanted to have a say in community related matters.
There was a reason these brats were in an orphanage and I believe they don't deserve anything if they can't keep their parents happy. I'll be damned if I let any woman try and control how I run these little shits. She thinks because she has cash she can boss around whoever she wants; she'll see soon enough that I control everything around here.
_Narrator POV_
Holly hadn't bought Carl's bullshit excuse for working these kids when they obviously should have been on break. She would have argued with him about it but the other parents and faculty members had started surging in through the front door and flooding the auditorium. The tan older woman walked away from the fat, smelly, and balding man heading towards the podium up on the stage. The crowd had taken their seats and was murmuring excitedly about the topic of today's meeting, which was addressing the addition of more extracurricular for the orphaned children. Holly planned for the orphans to be allowed access to the community center so they could connect with more children who came from different environments. This was exactly why she wanted the kids here in the first place.
Carl had taken one of the few seats left towards the back of the auditorium when a woman who was expecting twins rushed into the room. She seemed to be running late for the meeting and ran from her car, which was parked down the street, to the building in the summer weather. She walked over to Carl and stood by him as she tried to get comfortable even though she was extremely exhausted. Carl looked up at the woman, openly stared at her chest with a lustful gaze; once he saw her stomach he turned away in disgust and scooted his chair from her. Muttering something about not fucking with fat chicks. The people around them had witnessed the scene and watched on as Carl not only made the worn out pregnant woman stand, but also insulted her.
A man in his early seventies hobbled out of his chair and walked towards the woman and told her she could take his seat. The woman smiled gratefully at him, thanked him, and then sat down. As the man walked to the back of the room to find an extra chair he made sure to accidentally hit Carl's shin with his wooden cane.
Holly was watching the crowds of people settle down, the focuses of her topic was mixed in with the adults and were being polite and quiet as well. Holly loved these children dearly and knew all of them personally. When she had started making money from her "No Pain, No Hassle, Permanent Hair Removal Solution" she instantly got to work on bettering the community; focusing most of her time and effort on the orphanage. That was nine years ago, and now the orphanage was thriving and close to having most of the children adopted.
As all of the commotion settled down, the angry Goth who had fled earlier was now returning to the building to slip into the crowd unnoticed. When she entered the auditorium she searched the room for the unruly blonde hair of her friend then stalked over to her, uttering 'excuse mes' as she walked down the aisle. Upon reaching Reina she thanked her for saving her a seat then watched the stage as the familiar face of Holly began to speak.
"In the email I have sent all of you, we had decided to address the possibilities of adding more extracurricular activities to the community center. And along with adding more extracurricular activities, we had decided to grant access to the new programs to the children at Stoneridge as well. I posted an online poll about a month ago which included the selection of five stimulating programs for the children. The two options most voted for were, Music enrichment, and Interactive History. For those who are not aware, Interactive History is the study of history but more fun. The children would be able to discuss the History then act it out on stage or in groups." Holly paused here then pressed on," For the Music Enrichment program my daughter will be guiding and instructing the classes for free, and for Interactive History we will have auditions for one of the older students to lead this as well. Questions will now be taken." With that the room was quiet and then hands started to be raised. Carl was the first stand and started talking without waiting for approval. But as revenge for earlier the pregnant woman stood up and spoke over Carl,"Will any of this be coming from tax money?" The crowd settled again and Holly addressed the pregnant woman in the back, "no. As I stated earlier my daughter has offered to teach the Music Enrichment and will do so free of charge. And for the Interactive History group, the children are going to run it mostly by themselves. Money that will be needed for supplies and anything like that will be handled by me." A young girl in the middle who Holly recognized from Stoneridge spoke up as well." Will the program be offered for all or just for the kids at Stoneridge?" Holly waited then answered the girl's question, "as of now this will be our first attempt at something such as this. We are testing it out amongst the children who are actively involved in the community first and once we see the pros and cons of these programs, we will address the issues and then release it for the community as well."
The majority of the meeting went on like this with children and adults asking questions and learning more about the plans for the extracurricular programs. At the meetings end everyone filled out and Holly stuck around to make sure that Carl and the other adults at Stoneridge put the chairs up rather than force the kids to do it. As she directed where the chairs were to be put a raven haired girl with a pale complexion walked up to her, Holly recognized her as Jade and smiled warmly at her. "Hey Jade, what can I do for you?" the tanner of the two asked. Jade fidgeted and looked around the room nervously before talking, "well I was just wondering when the auditions for the history thing would be…not that I wanted to join or anything..." Holly smiled at the girl's tenacious behavior, which was unusual for her. Instead of answering the young Goths question Holly shuffled through her stack of papers and pulled out a manila colored packet and handed it to Jade." Everything you have questions on is in here. If you're serious about this then fill this packet out and give it back to me before this Friday okay Hun."
Jade's face erupted into a smile then she reached forward and pulled the other woman into a hug. Jade and Holly had been close ever since Jade had come to Stoneridge at the age of seven. They didn't see each other often but Jade liked that Holly wasn't stuck up about her financial status, and Holly loved that Jade was so passionate about everything she did. Holly saw much of herself in Jade, especially Jade's go getter attitude. Jade let go of Holly spouting off a rushed thank you, then ran out the door calling out for Reina so she could tell her about the audition.
Holly smiled tenderly at the youthful girl who was going through so much at such a young age. An hour later everything from the meeting had been cleaned and put away so Holly bid everyone goodbye then walked outside to her car. Starting it up and driving off into the night.
_Holly POV_
I pulled up to the high metal gate and buzzed it open using the button on my keychain, and drove into my driveway. I parked my car opened the door and headed into my house, "How odd. Tori's car is usually parked in the garage but she just left it in the driveway." Upon entering my home I heard the TV playing very loudly throughout the house, "TORI! I'm home!" I shouted hoping to see where Tori is. She didn't respond and that worried me. I ran through the house checking all the rooms until I finally found Tori, who was sitting on the kitchen counter watching TV and was surrounded by junk food. She hadn't heard me because the TV was so loud and lying all around her on the counters and on the floor was an assortment of wrappers, half eaten snacks, and several drained beers. This can't be good I thought.
"Tori? Sweetie? Can you tell me why my kitchen looks like it was raided by savage animals?" She turned her head around to see me so fast that she got dizzy and stumbled off of the counter. She didn't move for a few moments, she just lied there groaning and moaning incoherently. When she got up the first thing I noticed was how drunk she was, her hair was messy and from the looks of it she hadn't bothered to get dressed today. "Andre was, was here today...He got really mad at me again momma. I cancelled our date-" Tori hiccupped here, "and he came to talk with me…"She paused for a bit and hung her head low, searching through the mess of trash to find something. "I-I can't do it anymore momma...I don't want to be with Andre. He's a great guy but he's not my great guy, ya know?" She had stopped looking for whatever she was looking for and she drunkenly made her way to me. Dropping to her knees and grabbing hold of my legs. I patted her head as she wept bitterly onto my pants and squeezed my legs to her harder. I patted her patted, smoothing the hairs that were out of place.
"Tori, sweetie. I don't know what to tell you. But I know that drinking and eating junk food isn't going to help you get over Andre. You need to sleep and sort out your thoughts so that you can talk to Andre and let him know how you feel." Tori cried harder at this. I always thought my previous failed marriages are what stopped Tori from being in a committed relationship with Andre but she always told me that it wasn't my fault.
"Momma. I don't need to get over Andre…" Tori said quietly. I was confused, isn't that why she's sad, because she can't handle a relationship with Andre even though she likes him?" Sweetie I don't understand, don't you-" Tori cut me off with what she said next, "I don't need to get over Andre mom because I never loved him. I'm gay mom! Have been since high school... I lead him on because I hoped that maybe, maybe if I could see how great he was and give myself time to get past this phase...th-that I could become normal. I could date him, and get married. We would have kids and I'd love him and he'd love me...but it just never worked." She stopped talking abruptly and sobbed even harder, I was shocked into silence. I never suspected Tori to be gay! I mean I shouldn't be shocked honestly all she listens to is Katy Perry.
"Tori why don't you head up to bed I think it's time for you to go to sleep. Alright?" Tori nodded solemnly and dragged herself up the stairs to her room. On her way up I heard her fall and bump into things quite a few times until everything was quiet. Looking back to the mess at hand I sighed, not feeling like cleaning up after such a busy day. I swept what I could on the floor into a pile and left it there for the maids to get tomorrow. I cut the lights out and retired to my own room, getting into bed my last thoughts were of my recently discovered lesbian daughter and my plans for the kids at Stoneridge.
_Jade POV_
Last night was crazy. After getting back from the meeting Reina and I went straight to our rooms and she started helping me fill out the packet Hilly gave me. We chilled and talked and she helped me work up the nerve to finally text Tori. I was still nervous so all I sent her was a simple "you're a friend of Beck's right?" She never responded and I got turned on when I started thinking about her and what we could do together. So I fucked Reina and I tried to imagine as much of Tori as I could.
Using my hand to block out the sun's morning rays of light I glanced over to see blond hair popping out from under a pillow. My eyes slowly scanned the bed making out a body underneath my blanket; the person was sprawled out underneath my blanket. Soft snoring filtered through my ears as the body rolled over to get more comfortable. With the hair out of the way, the sleeping person's eyes opened, revealing sparkling green irises staring back at my blue ones. The bottom half of her face was covered by the blanket but the eyes gave away the smirk that was hidden away from my view.
"Goodmornin' the blonde haired beauty mumbled at me, her eyes never blinking or looking away from me. "Morning yourself." I responded we both weren't morning people until we were fully awake. It usually took a cup of coffee for me and Reina just needed a few moments to herself until she would be up and sassing everybody. I got outta bed and stretched more, my nude form was revealed fully as the blankets slid off of me. The various hickeys and scratches were a reminder to the both of us of last night's events. I could feel Reina staring at me, her eyes burning holes straight through me. I looked back at her smirked, "thanks for last night, you were a great lay, don't let the door hit you on your way out toots" I joked. Reina laughed hardly and jumped out of bed she walked to me and took in my birthday suit. She looked me in eyes, hers reflecting lust as her hands began wandering my body caressing and squeezing in all the right places. My breathing sped up as she slipped her hands down to my center and slipped a finger in. I dropped my head onto her shoulder as my breaths shuddered out, fanning across her neck. "I need you to look at me babe. Let me see your ocean" she requested. Reina loved my eyes even though hers were just as stunning, she called them ocean because they were so vast and beautiful to her.
I slowly lifted my head to look into her eyes; I shifted hips forward at an even pace to get her to move inside of me. We stared at each other as she leaned in next to my ear and whispered, "I'm taking a shower first." With that she pulled her finger out of me, and took off towards the bathroom we shared. I groaned and flopped back in the bed too worked up to try and move.
She was probably upset at me ever since last night I mused. When we had been getting busy I couldn't get Tori off of my mind, her beautiful eyes, her define cheekbones, and the kiss that sent shivers through my body. When I climaxed I had called Tori's name and Reina didn't seem too happy about that. Right after she started to roughly fuck me, which would explain all of the scratches on my body. One thing about last night really stood out to me above everything else. After Reina had finished dominating me I swear I heard her whisper she loved me right after I fell asleep thanks to all of my climaxes.
I hope she just got caught up in the lust of the moment and said something she hadn't meant. I decided not to bring it up because I didn't feel like dealing with any drama today. I just wanted to relax and maybe hang out with Beck if possible. When I heard the shower stop running I got off of the bed and went in the bathroom to handle my business. Reina was already dressed and on her way out of the door, she stopped mid step and looked at me with her mouth hanging open. She opened and closed her mouth wanting to say something but not finding her voice, and then she left out, muttering as she left. I finished my shower got dressed in some jeans and a black shirt that read "I don't play nice with others" along with my standard black combat boots. Beck had got them for me last Christmas when he seen that I was saving up for them. The orphans and I ate breakfast and headed down to the Rec room for our free time. When I got to the Rec room Beck was already there and had been chatting with Andre, their conversation halted when I walked up to them. "Just the man I wanted to see! Beck can we hang today we can got to your place or something" I asked Beck who in turn laughed at my eagerness.
"Actually...today I'm going to go and meet up with a possible new client, and since you're looking to spend some time with me you can come along. I'm going down there to mostly give them a rundown of the basics and work out which payment plan they want to use. Nothing extravagant really" Beck explained. I wouldn't mind going with him it would be a good opportunity for me to learn some of the trade because I was positive that I wanted to work here with Beck for a while. Plus Sikowitz was a pretty cool guy; apparently he used to be an actor back in the day when he was younger. Andre was pretty quiet during this which was odd he was normally talkative and enjoyed our company; he was actually fiddling with his phone like he was deliberately ignoring what we were talking about. No Jade, don't go sticking your nose into Andre's drama; you're busy enough as it is.
"Sure Beck, let's go right now I don't think I wanna wait around lest any drama finds me" I joked with him. He smiled and patted Andres shoulder and we both bid our farewells as we exited the building. Once again I got inside of the coconut topped van as we sped off heading towards the house of Beck's unnamed client. "So who exactly are we going to go meet with?" I inquired, Beck glanced at me and smiled," A friend of mine, and you actually know her too," I perked up at this and started badgering Beck for answers on who we were going to see. "Well technically you know one of them. The lady who owns the house has a daughter and I know the daughter and the mom. You just know the mom." I scowled at Beck; his shitty clue didn't help me to figure out who it was. It was useless.
"Can't you just tell me who it is already?" I demanded Beck threw his head back in laughter at my clear agitation. When he finally answered I almost wished that I hadn't asked," We are going to Holly Vega's house who coincidentally is the mother of Tori Vega. You know, the girl you embarrassed me in front of?" I froze, all of my blood ran cold and I started mentally freaking out again. Beck was still talking but I couldn't hear a word he was saying, my mind was occupied with thoughts of the tan beauty whose house I would be arriving to in just a few minutes.
A/N: HMMM Reina seems a bit ticked that Jade was thinking about Tori during their sexy times, what could this possibly mean for the friends! I promise that sexual tension between Jade and Tori will be coming soon, and there won't be a lot of Jade/Reina smut scenes, none really. I'm positive that you all know who is going to start teaching the Music Enrichment class at the community center. Is Jade really dense enough to not realize the connection between Holly and Tori even after the meeting at the community center? Well now she does and it's freaking her out. What was Beck and Andre talking about that made Andre so weird around Jade? What did Carl mean by saying that "he controls everything around here"? What did Andre tell Tori after he came to her house that shook her up so bad? If you have any thoughts and or opinions on the story review or PM me to share them with me! I don't bite I promise! Find out in the next chapters!
