Chapter Four: Not Bad At All

What could be said about this?

A guy blurts out that he loves a girl who's already taken.

What exactly happens next?

The girl could admit to the boy that she loves him and that she'll break up with her boyfriend.

Unlikely.

The girl could call the boy an asshole and ask that he never talk to her ever again.

Also unlikely.

I know, it's hard to believe, too.

Or the girl could kill the boy right then and there with a pair of scissors that was concealed behind her belt.

You know, for bringing all of this bullshit into her life.

But that too was unlikely.

So what the hell is going to happen?

It's time we find out…

Andre stood there, speechless at what he had just uttered.

Jade stood there, speechless at what she had heard.

This was it, Andre knew that it was only going to go downhill from here.

It was only a matter of who spoke first…

"What did you just say?" asked Jade.

…

Andre stood frozen.

Tired of waiting for him to answer, Jade pulled Andre behind a vendor stand for some privacy.

"Did you just say… that you love me?" she asked again.

…

"Talk… Now…" she said forcefully.

Jade didn't necessarily look like she was angry at him, but more in a sense of being tired of his inability to talk.

"Yes… I did say… that I love you." Andre said hesitantly.

"Andre…" Jade muttered, but stopped because of a loss for words.

"Jade… look… I know that you and Beck are together, and it's not like I'm hoping that you'll break up with him… I just needed to get it off of my chest… It was driving me crazy… And was also the reason why I was acting so weird the past couple of days." Andre quickly said, trying to get everything out into the open as quickly as possible.

At that moment, Jade's eyes opened up slightly.

"That song! I knew it! That song was meant for me. I thought it was sorta strange how you kept looking at me, but…" she said, stopping for a second.

"I had thought that by singing my song, to everyone including you, would help me get rid of these feelings. Although I did had to switch your name with "baby", that way no one would have been suspicious." Andre said, feeling as if all the pressure was starting to lift off of him.

"Wow…" said Jade, stopping again, "When did… you know… this all started?"

"The night that you helped me with my song. When you were singing… you just looked so beautiful. It was as if you were a different Jade." said Andre, staring deep in Jade's eyes, "And it wasn't just the fact that you looked beautiful that night, it was also how harmonious your voice was and how kind and sweet you were."

Jade stood there for a moment.

She never seen Andre in this type of position before.

She knew that there was something funny about Andre's behavior the past couple of days, but was she really blind of the fact that he liked her?

At the moment, that didn't really matter.

She knew the truth now and that was all that matters.

But little did Andre know… Jade also had a little secret of her own.

"Alright… I'll admit it… I kinda had a small crush on you, too… A "small" one." she said.

Deep down in Andre's heart, millions upon millions of tiny fireworks were going off.

A small crush! Hot damn! he thought joyously, Calm down, Andre, calm down. Don't get too excited.

But then something unexpectedly happened.

The two of them stood there, waiting for the other to respond.

It wasn't until Jade responded that things got "interesting".

"Oh, fuck it!" said Jade, as she walked up to Andre and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Andre found it rather difficult to keep his raging hormones from continuing to kiss Jade.

But Andre felt different after awhile.

I need to stop this. This isn't right. thought Andre, as Jade pushed him against the wall of the park bathroom that was behind them.

But he kept going on with it.

He didn't care about Beck.

Who the hell was Beck?

"How about we take this to somewhere more private." said Jade, as she pulled Andre behind one of the projection screens.

Andre couldn't say "no" to a girl as smoking hot as Jade.

The chance was presented to him and he went ahead and took it.

"I like the way you're thinking." said Andre, allowing himself to be guided by Jade.

Lucky for them, there was an empty equipment tent with just enough room for the two of them.

Entering the tent, Jade pushed Andre onto the ground and slowly began taking off her jacket.

"Things are about to get… very… exciting." she said, closing the tent.

Andre never knew that Jade would feel soooooo good.

Every time he went inside her, she made the cutest little squeak that just drove Andre insane.

Jade loved the fact that Andre's muscular arms were wrapped around her waist, caressing those insane curves of hers.

Each thrust felt so damn good to Jade that she wanted to scream.

Andre could see how Jade's pale skin was quickly turning bright red.

It drove him to keep going and going. Harder and harder. Faster and faster.

The more and more he kept going, the more and more she was closer to screaming.

"Oh! Fuck! Don't stop!" she yells, knowing how she's almost close to her peak, "Please don't stop!"

Andre gave it his all.

Going ever harder… much harder and faster… much faster than before.

He wanted to hear that scream.

And she was gonna give it to him.

"Come on! Come on!" he yelled, holding Jade in his arms and continuing to go at it.

Then it happened…

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! Fuuuuuuuuuucccck!" she screamed intensely, as she dug her fingernails into his shoulders.

The scream was so piercingly loud, Andre knew that the audience outside would know that there was something going on back here.

But then again... it was a horror film festival, so there would bound to be some screaming somewhere.

So he didn't care.

He was too busy with Jade.

He kept going at her.

It was far from over for him.

He could slowly feeling himself building up more and more until…

"Andre! Are you alright?"

Andre woke up.

I know… it sucks. All that intensity and it turned out to be a dream… again.

"Andre, can you hear me?" said Jade, snapping her fingers in his face.

"Yeah, sorry, I kinda blanked out." Andre said, moving off of the vendor stand.

Jade sighed and continued with what she was saying, "Look, yes, it's true. I do have a small crush on you. But remember, I'm still with Beck and that's how it gonna be."

Andre felt both relived and saddened that Jade said this.

"At least the truth is out for the both of us. Now I can start to act normal again and actually get some sleep at night." Andre said jokingly.

"Sorry that I kinda… in a way… put you through all of that torture. I mean, I like torturing people, but I didn't mean to torture you unintentionally." Jade laughed, "And for what it's worth, if Beck and me weren't together… I would definitely going out with you."

A smile appeared on both Andre and Jade's face.

"I must say this: If we were together, I would have definitely drove you outta your mind." said Jade, laughing.

"Oh, really?" Andre joked.

"Really." Jade said, with a intense, yet sexy gaze

"So… you wanna go get some good seats to watch the movies?"

"Sure… why not?" said Jade, "Hopefully you won't run off screaming in terror."

"I don't know about that." said Andre, "I can handle a simple horror movie."

Wait a damn minute.

Things were ending too happy-go-lucky.

Andre just had an intense dream about Jade.

And he didn't even consider Beck's feelings.

So if Jade really did try to seduce him, would he have really had sex with her?

Let's hear from him.

It was just a dream, I have no control of myself in a dream. If she really would have tried to seduce me, I would have done the right thing." he thought, "I may have been lovesick about Jade, but I'm not crazy enough to ruin my friendship with Beck.

Well… I guess that answers that…

Both Andre and Jade watched the horror films and enjoyed the rest of the night.

After walking Jade back to her house, Jade had one final thing to say.

"I had fun tonight, even after all of the secrets that came out."

"I know… at least it all over now. I can now focus on other girls now. Especially Northridge girls."

"Yeah, well… you know, you're too good to be chasing after silly girls out there. You're more… Tori's type."

"Tori? Really?"

"Yeah… Even thought she can be soooooo annoying at time and is a real goodie-goodie, she can be alright at times." Jade said, swallowing hard, "Plus she'll be sorta alright for you.

"Hmm, glad that you care about me so much."

"Yeah, I do."

Jade then walked up to Andre and hugged him.

But before she let him go, she gave him a tiny kiss on the cheek.

"Uh, Jade…?"

Jade quickly pulled away and opened up her front door.

"Even though we know the truth about each other, don't be expecting that I'll take things easier on you. Got it?"

"Yeah… sure."

"Okay, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye."

After Jade shut her door, Andre began walking down the sidewalk.

At least it's all over. My feelings have been heard. I'm not going crazy. And something could possibly happen with Jade and me sometime in the future… if her and Beck ever broke up.

It was a very great night for Andre.

But then he remembered something…

"Tori! I need to call her later tonight." he said, running towards home.

Halfway home, Andre bumped into Cat.

"Sorry, Cat, I was rushing home."

"It's okay, guess what?"

"What?"

"My toothpaste cupcakes were a huge success, if I make anymore money, I can finally achieve one of my dreams: To ride in a giant cupcake."

"Good for you…"

"So how did it go with Jade." said Cat, giggling.

"Oh, you know… same old, same old."

"Oh, okay. Talk to you later!" said Cat, winking repeatedly and walking backwards towards her house.

"Bye, Cat. You might wanna turn around before you hit that-"

But it was too late, she fell over the lawn gnome in her yard.

"I'm okay!"

"Good night, Cat!"

"Goodnight! Oh! It's cozy down here."

Back at Jade's house, she had just got out of a conversation with Beck about listening to Andre's new song.

She had no idea what he was talking about, but played along with it anyway.

But that wasn't on her mind right now.

Andre was.

Maybe… just maybe… No! I can't! I have to keep these feelings to myself. That's why it's best that I make him focus on Tori right now. It'll make things easier on the both of us… I hope.

In Jade's mind, she thought about the possibility of one day, her and Andre getting together.

She only had one thing to say about this…

It wouldn't be that bad… in fact, not bad at all.
