Tori and Elise
I don't sleep… I don't this charade has got me awake at strange hours. I go home and go to bed so I can wake up at two and talk with Tori early before Elise goes to bed. I talk to her all day at work so that she has something to talk about with Elise the next day, and if she stays up late… sometimes I do both… but that can get complicated.
I can't tell you how many times I would say things as Elise, that were something Tori and Jade talked about. Luckily Elise was nothing like Jade, and Jade never said the stupid things Elise said to Tori… But Tori really liked Elise. Like really because she would talk to me about her and laugh about the things she would say and tell me things.
It got to the point that Tori would ignore Jade to talk to Elise. She would go radio silent with me, and chat it up with Elise. That was usually when the conversation got flirty. Elise had to go... but Elise couldn't be the one to break it off... could she?
Elise: Man… That picture on your profile cannot be real.
Tori: Why not?
I could just imagine Tori whining about that.
Elise: Your cheekbones are phenomenal.
Tori paused talking to Elise.
Tori: Jade?
My other window popped up.
Me: yeah I'm awake… why are you still awake?
Tori: I'm about to go to sleep… Can I talk to you about Elise?
Oh fuck…
Me: Yeah sure.
She pauses and lies to Elise.
Tori: Hey El… I am going to bed,
Elise: Did I say something?
Tori: No… I'm just getting tired… I wanna chat with one of my best friends on the east coast before I go to sleep.
Elise: Is he hot?
Tori: I think she could still be hot… I don't know haven't seen her in three years. Why does that matter?
Oh so she thought I was hot? Let me see how she feels about me… this is the first time she has ever mentioned me to Elise.
Elise: nothing just trying to see what the status of that relationship was.
Tori: Oh…
Elise: Do you like her?
Tori: Sure, she is almost like my best friend.
Elise: So you're not into chicks?"
Tori: Uh… I didn't say that…
Elise: So You like her.
Tori: Ugh you are infuriating.
She was ignoring me again so I intervened.
Me: Vega, what about your girlfriend?
Tori: That's just it… Hold on, I want her to let me be. For a second so I can talk to you.
I smirked I wasn't gonna make it easy. I switched back to Elise.
Elise: I live to please… Don't leave me if you aren't going to sleep.
Tori: Mmm… El, I need to talk to her about… some things… just… We'll talk tomorrow.
Elise: you love her…
Tori: We're Friends.
Elise: Admit it! You love her.
She clicked off… she cut Elise off and I smiled at that. Maybe she will stop ignoring me… I know it doesn't make any sense but… She was getting too attached to that girl that I wasn't.
Tori: My god, Jade she is so cute and so infuriating… and fun and confusing.
Me: So you like her?
Tori: Not you too…
Me: Me? Look I really couldn't care less Vega.
Tori: Do you like girls Jade?
Well that was straightforward and I didn't know how to respond. So she continued.
Tori: See… You don't. So you can't tell me girls aren't complex. She confuses me Jade, and I don't know, do you think she'd wait for me? She lives in LA, I'll be there next year.
Fuck… I didn't think that through. I panicked I had to figure out a way to get rid of Elise.
Me: Are you serious? You can't be serious? She is a stranger!
Tori: I want you to talk to her, I mean, she's cool.
Me: No…
Tori: Please Jade! You should be able to talk to her longer you are only three hours apart not nine.
I sighed… I can't believe this.
Me: Fine… go to sleep Tori.
Great, Just... great.
