Thanks for the reviews guys! Here's Chapter 4! I do not own Victorious.

Chapter 4: Wine and Kisses

Jade's POV

I thought this day would never end. This is probably the longest work day of my life. After I shutdown my computer, I stood up from my desk and headed for the door. When I was almost at the elevators, someone called me.

"Miss West!" I heard a rather annoying voice. I thought this bitch would leave me alone!

I turned around and saw Victoria smirking at me. What the hell does she want?! I slowly walked over to her with a frown on my face.

"What?!" I snapped.

"You like our new boss, right?" she questioned. I forcefully dropped my purse on her desk, causing her to flinch.

"Why the hell do you care?!" I snarled.

Victoria sighed and crossed her arms. "Well, you remember what happened the last time you liked someone." she reminded.

I could feel my blood boil as I stepped closer to her. She took a step back, looking frightened.

"Fuck you." I grabbed my purse and stomped away.


I knocked on Cat's door. Well, it was supposed to be knocks, but it sounded like three punches. I heard steps in the house before she opened the door.

"Jade!" Cat greeted as she hugged me. I gave her two pats on the back before slowly pushing her away. Cat opened the door more so I could come in. Her small house felt welcoming, but of course I would never tell her that. She would think I'm going soft.

"How was work?" she asked, as she sat on the couch.

"It was one hell of a day." I responded.

Cat giggled. "What happened? Was it Trina again?"

"No. Well, yeah sorta, but not that much. We got a new boss." I told her.

"Oh? How did that go?" she pressed on with a grin on her face.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. "Do you have any wine?"

"Always! I'll get you some. It looks like you need it." she got up from the couch and went into her kitchen.

I'm not going to tell Cat about this. I know she's my best friend, but I need to keep this to myself for now. No offence to Cat, but she can be a little clueless at times. She hasn't really had a solid relationship before, and no boyfriend drama like I've had in the past. She's like a twelve year old trapped in a twenty-five year old's body! No lie.

Cat skipped back into the living room with two glasses and a bottle of wine. She smiled as she poured the wine into the glasses. She gave me my glass and sipped out of hers. I downed the whole glass in under fifteen seconds. That's a new record.

Cat stared at me with a confused expression. I stared back at her.

"What?! It's really good wine!" I commented. The wine actually wasn't that great (yes it was), I really needed to get Beck out of my mind for awhile.

"Before I got the wine, you were telling me about your new boss." she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Oh um... it's nothing. He's just a pain in my ass like all the other people who work there. Except Robbie and Andre, you already know I can tolerate them to an extent." I explained. Cat seemed convinced and continued sipping her wine. After two more glasses, I eventually just took the bottle and started drinking out of it. Cat laughed at me as she tried to get the bottle back.

"I give up! I guess I'll get more wine later." she said, looking exhausted because of her attempts to get the bottle back.

"Yeah. You can do that." I slurred slightly. "Can I crash here until I can drive?" I asked.

Cat smiled. "Yay! Sleepover!" she yelled as she hugged me.

"Hey!" I shouted. Cat releasee me from her death grip. "I said until I can drive, not all night!"


I woke up in a bed that wasn't mine. What the hell?! Oh shit! I'm still at Cat's house! I looked at the clock and it said 7:54. I have to be at work by 8:30! I jumped out of the bed and ran out of the bedroom. Cat was sitting on the couch, drinking coffee.

"Cat! Why didn't you wake me up?!" I hollered.

"You were sleeping so well! I couldn't wake you up!" she said innocently.

"I'm gonna be late for work!" I shouted.

"You have plently of time! But you will be late if you keep yelling at me." she sassed.

I grabbed my purse and ran out the door. Dammit. This is your fault Beck! You're the reason that I drank so much wine! I only stopped thinking about him for a night. I've only known him for a day. What the hell?! It's so complicated! Shit.

Beck's POV

Where's Jade? It's 8:53 and she isn't here. Maybe her shift starts later. I'll ask one of her coworkers. I saw Jade talking to a guy with dreadlocks yesterday. I'll ask him.

"Hey. What's your name?" I greeted as I put my hand out.

"I'm Mr. Harris. Nice to meet you." he firmly shook my hand.

"You know Jade, right?" I asked.

"Yeah she- wait, you're already calling her Jade?" he raised an eyebrow.

Oh dammit! He's curious now!

"Well, she said that I can call her Jade." I defended.

"Really? She must like your then. Cuz the only people here who can call her that are me and Robbie. At least she likes you, you do NOT want to see the wrath of Jadelyn West." he chuckled.

She likes me? In what way? No. Not like that, just in a friendly way.

"I'm sure I wouldn't. When does her shift start?" I questioned.

"It starts at 8:30. She's never late, so I don't know what's up with her today." he shrugged.

Just as he said that, Jade walked in with a large cup of coffee and a scowl on her face. I wonder what's wrong with her. Jade walked past us quickly to her desk.

"Looks like someone's having a bad morning. Let me go talk to her." he jogged over to Jade's desk and put a hand on her shoulder. She gently patted it and started talking. She must not hate him, because she seems to dislike most people. Mr. Harris started laughing. I wonder what they're talking about.

'It's not you're business." I thought.

"Excuse me, sir." someone said.

I turned around to see a bushy haired boy with glasses.

"Hello, and your name is?" I asked. I sure do have to ask this question a lot.

"I'm Mr. Shapiro, sir. This is your daily agenda that you will receive each morning." he informed as he gave me a clipboard.

"Oh? Are you the secretary?" I asked.

"Oh no. I'm just a regular employee. Miss West is actually supposed to give these to you. But since she was running late, she texted me and told me to do it today." he explained. Jade texted him? He must be the other coworker she doesn't hate.

"Well thank you, Mr. Shapiro. I'll get right to it." I nodded and headed to my office. I turned around and looked back at Jade's desk. Mr. Harris and Mr. Shaprio were at their desks, which were near her desk. Jade's took a sip out of her coffee and started typing. She looked up at me and smirked. I smiled at her and went into my office.


Three Weeks Later

Jade's POV

Work was actually good this week. Victoria and Trina left me alone, Andre, Robbie, and I had good lunches, and Beck and I have gotten closer. Should we really have this type of relationship? It's not intimate, but we have been flirting. Ugh! Office romance should be illegal! But then again, I'm glad it's not. As I was about to leave, Beck grabbed my arm.

"I need to talk to you in my office." he whispered in my ear. Then, he walked away. Victoria looked at me with a confused expression.

"What?!" I snapped.

"Okay, spill it out. What's going on with you and Mr. Oliver?" she smiled.

"I don't like your ass, so what makes you think I would talk to you about something like that?" I growled.

"I'm just curious." she stated.

"Oh really?" I asked. "Well then, get your Curious George ass outta here!"

Victoria stomped away. I turned back around and walked to Beck's office. What does he want? Did I do something wrong? He sounded almost angry, but I'm not sure. I opened the door to find Beck standing next to the window. I sat in the chair that's in front of his desk.

"Is something wrong, Beck?" I questioned.

Beck sighed. "I think there is."

What the hell?! "What happened? Does it have to do with me?"

Beck turned his head to look at me. "Yes."

I adjusted my skirt and crossed me legs. What did I do?!

Beck stepped over to his office chair and sat down. He propped his elbows on his desk and rested his chin in his hands.

"I can't hide it anymore, Jade." he murmured.

I stared at him. "Hide what?!"

"My feeling for you." he stared into my eyes. All I saw was lust. Oh shit.

I raised an eyebrow. "Woah woah woah. We've known each other for about three weeks, and you have feeling for me?" I asked, dumbfounded. I tried to make it sound like I don't have feeling for him. I obviously do.

"I've had feeling for you since you ran into me that day." he confessed. He stood up, walked over to me and sat on his desk in front of me. "I tried to figure out why I instantly liked you. I even tried to stop liking you, but I couldn't."

I stared at him for a long time. Oh my God. Is this really happening?! I stood up. This is too much for me. I know I like him too, but... oh my gosh.

"I... uh." I faltered.

Beck stood up straight, towering over me. "You what?" he challenged.

"I don't know what to say." I answered.

"You don't have to say anything." I could feel his breath on my face. I closed my eyes for a few seconds before opening them again. I looked into his eyes and got lost in them. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. I put my hands on the sides of his face and he leaned down. My breathing quickened as our lips almost touched.

"Hey Mr. Oliver, I-"

I pushed Beck, causing him to let go of me and stumble on his desk. I grabbed my purse from the chair and ran to the other side of the room. I finally looked up to see Andre staring at the both of us. His eyes were wide with shock. Beck ran his fingers though his hair.

"Yes Mr. Harris?" his voice sounded strained.

"... What the hell?!" Andre finally spoke. "I knew it! I knew it Jade! I see the way you guys look at each other! I knew something was up with ya'll!"

I ran up to Andre and put my hands on his shoulders. "You can't tell anyone!" I demanded.

"You know I won't, but why is it a secret?" he asked.

"It's complicated, alright?" I simply told him.

"Okay, but you're lucky that someone else didn't see ya'll. And next time, lock the door." Andre then walked out. I looked at Beck who was shaking his head. We both stood dumbfounded for a couple of minutes.

"l'll uh... see you Monday." I hurried out the door. I heard Beck call after me, but I kept running to the elevators. When I got into an empty elevator, I leaned again the wall and sighed. Dammit.

Oh damn! You guys thought they were really gonna kiss, right! Wrong! They aren't gonna hook up that easily. Please review guys! Thanks for reading!

Peace and Love ~CCViola~
