A/N: The Jade and Tori's play date episode. Good one for Jade and Tori to put some things aside and get some feelings aired out. Maybe there will be a little Bori in this story. I don't know. We will see. Not much Jandre in this episode but it is marked progress. As always, review! Don't be shy.
Tell me what you really think. —S.K.
I Don't Like Your Girl-friend
Tori and Jade Finally got rid of those two annoying fools trying to get at them. Neither was interested because both of them had other men on their brain. They sat quietly once again, not knowing exactly how to talk to each other. Finally Tori spoke up. "I just thought of something else I like about you."
Jade looked at her. "Well tell me maybe I could think of more things I don't mind about you."
"Well it's several things really," Tori started and turned to face her. "You are fiercely loyal, and if you are lucky enough to be in your inner circle, you will stand up for them even if you don't like them."
"When have I ever—" Jade started
"Ryder Daniels rings a bell?" Tori reminded her.
Jade blushed and hid her face. "He was an asshole."
"Another thing is that you also have a lot of talent that I admire," Tori continued. "The most important thing to me, is that you make Andre happy."
Jade looked at Tori appreciatively. "He makes me happy," She whispered. "I like how you support him a lot and I like that you encouraged him to feel what he felt and all the while encouraging him to move on because it was a lost cause. I like that you didn't push him on me so that you could have Beck all to yourself…"
Tori scoffed, "What?"
"I know you like him," Jade said simply. "I also appreciate that you didn't pounce on him the moment I walked out of the door that night.
Tori laughed, "I would never do that… but Trina did."
Jade laughed. "That girl is insane."
"I know…" Tori paused and looked at Jade. "So… can we be friends?"
"I don't see why not, we share a secret already." Jade mumbled. "I am just tired of always being on guard. I don't mind you half as much as I mind other people. I will try to be nicer… For Andre's sake."
"Oh don't go breaking your back on my account…" Tori said.
"You should call Beck," Jade said simply facing Tori.
"Really?" Tori said eagerly. She really wanted to call, ask him out.
"Yeah, I'll be okay about it eventually, but you shouldn't hold those feelings in anymore." Jade said
Tori Smiled and hugged Jade. Jade stiffened uncomfortably but then returned the hug and watched as Berf went crazy with his camera. "The future paparazzi are working hard aren't they?" Tori said seeing the same thing over Jade's shoulder at Sinjin.
Jade nodded and they separated. "I want to go home and make out with my boyfriend … not be stuck here on a date with his best friend."
"Well… He was supposed to be my ride home so that I didn't call to get Trina to come and get me. I can ask him to come early." Tori offered her new friend.
"Yeah… nooo we like sneaking around. We told you because you are inner circle… and I wanted to let you know it was okay by me if you wanted Beck. I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, then could you drive me home?" Tori asked.
Jade nodded, "Sure."
Tori smiled and looked at the time on her phone. They still had forty-five minutes before they could leave. She texted Andre quickly, then turned to Jade. "Do you think Beck likes me back? Or are you setting me up to get my hear broken."
"I don't know if he likes you back Vega… He was damn sure trying to show me he didn't while we were together. I haven't really talked to him since the break up."
"You don't mind if I text him right now do you?"
"Yes I do." Jade answered. "You are on a date with me…" Jade smirked a little. "But I want to call Andre really badly."
Tori laughed, "Okay I'm going to the bathroom."
Jade stayed at the bar and dialed her phone, and it took a while before he picked up. And the moment she heard his voice her heart fluttered. "Hey…"
"Hey baby, tell me you haven't killed Tori yet."
"No, she's cool, she's talking to Beck on the phone right now I think she's going to ask him out."
Andre stayed silent a little bit then said. "You okay with that?"
Jade thought about it then smiled. "Yeah, I am. I told her to call him."
"Why so that you could call me and whisper dirty nothings in my ear?" She could hear the smile in his voice.
Jade blushed, and then laughed. "Babe, I have to get you ready for tonight."
"Tonight?" He asked.
"Yeah, Babe it's been two weeks, I need you." She said as Tori came back from the bathroom looking a bit conflicted. Jade looked at her and heard Andre panting in hear ear. "What are you doing?"
"Tori texted me to tell me that you were driving her home, I am riding my bike to her house to meet you there."
"Oh…" Jade trailed off when she saw that Tori just kind of sank into the stool next to hers. "Wait something's up with your girl-friend… I'll see you later."
"Okay," he said as she hung up.
"What did he do to you?"
"He… was really sweat about turning me down, I just…"
"He turned YOU down?" Jade was confused, she swore he would jump at the chance to go out with Tori Vega.
"Well he said that … He didn't think it would be healthy for either of us."
Jade raised her brows. "Beck's an idiot." She pulled out her cell and typed out a quick text.
Jade: What the Hell is wrong with you Beck?
Beck: What do you mean?
Jade: Are you seeing someone new? One of those ganks from Northridge or something?
"Jade who are you texting?" Tori asked warily.
"None of your business." She snapped.
Beck: That is NONE of YOUR business.
Jade: You are ruining my date with Tori
Beck: Huh?
Jade sighed and looked up at the girl. "Do you think… maybe he's scared that I find out or something and I take it out on you… I'll talk to him if you want."
"I… Look Jade, thanks… But if he wanted me, you couldn't stop him from coming to me." Tori said, "I'm just glad you and I are cool now."
Jade: You know what, she's better off without you. You don't know what you just turned down.
"Let's go, our time is up." Jade said standing up and waiting for the Latina to follow. "It's his loss. You're cool people."
Jade drove Vega home and walked out of the car with her to her door where Andre stood waiting for her at the bench. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him soundly. "Aww…" Tori said
They looked back at her and smiled. "I'll talk to him if you want." Jade mumbled.
Tori shook her head. "Just let it happen. He knows how I feel."
Andre looked between both his best girls and waved goodbye to Tori as he was pulled to Jade's car. Then Jade's cell phone chimed a text. She handed the phone to Andre so that he would check the text for her. "Beck want's to know if you found someone new."
Jade didn't say anything for a long time. She just drove to her house in silence. "Tell him whatever you want to tell him."
Jade: Yes I have… now don't be a fool and call the girl she's loved you forever.
Jade parked the car and looked at the text. A pang of jealousy still lingered, but she had moved on. She leaned in and kissed him. "I love you Andre. And I could learn to like your girl- friend."
"I think you like her a lot more than you like to admit," he teased.
"Don't antagonize me, I can hold out longer you know." She murmured against his lips. Then she licked at his meaty lower lip then sucked it into her mouth and moaned a little bit. He held her tighter making his arousal evident. Then she pulled away. "Lets go to bed."
