Scene 1
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious
Sorry guys didn't mean to take so long. Just been busy. Well here you go and I am working on the sequel to 'Playing House'. I would work on it some more right now but I need some sleep so Enjoy!
Few Days later
"So what are you and Jade now?" Eliza asks after I finish telling her what happened today. Jade and I were talking a little more, but I was still guarded. I wasn't just about to throw myself out there.
We talked but, it wasn't anything special just about what is it like being on tour and how was it doing our pervious movies.
After we wrapped today up, Jade kissed me again telling me she will call me later. I guess she's for real but you can never be too sure.
"I don't know." I say really not knowing.
"Damn Tori you don't know shit." She says joking making me laugh.
"I don't. I guess were just friends." I say shrugging running my fingers through my hair.
"Oh no you guys are not just friends. Just friends don't kiss like you did and they don't say the things Jade said to you. I'll say you guys are more love interest." Eliza says wiggling her eyebrows making me roll my eyes.
"Look I'm not looking for a relationship. Not after Ryder." I say honestly.
"I'm not saying you jump on the first thing moving just be Dora the explorer and explore your options and from what I know you have two. Naomi and Jade." she says making a good point but no.
"I don't want to be Dora the explorer yet I just want to be Tori Vega."
"Just look into it Tori. You don't want to pass up something good. Because if you don't I will most definitely be Dora the explorer x-rated version. That Naomi is a hot piece of ass." I laugh smacking her shoulder.
"So nasty." I say shaking my head.
"Hey I'm just saying. Look Tori they both like you. If you choose Naomi, I will respect that and if you pick Jade I'll respect that too."
"I won't be choosing anyone. I'm not trying to lead those two on and then pick the one I like the most hurting the other. That's not who I am." I say really not wanting anyone to get hurt.
"Okay you're right that would be bad. Just get to know them then. You said Jade changed. It came from her mouth and Naomi's so why don't you give her a go. From the looks of it she can't seem to keep her lips off you." I smile thinking about the time Jade and I kissed. Like I said after wrapping up, and everyone was gone she just grabbed me and kissed me just has softly as before. When she pulled away looking me in the eyes telling me she was going to call and she kissed me again smiling as she walked away. It's like were already together.
"I still don't know." I don't know about anything that has to do with Jade. All I know is that she wants to show me the real her or the new her.
"Look we can deal with your difficult love life later let's play some Wii boxing. So I can kick your ass." Eliza taunts getting up off the couch and turning on the Wii.
"Bring it on."
LINE BREAK
Day after
Okay well I so just got my ass kicked in it would be even but my mind was on other things. My mind was on Jade and Naomi. I'm sure I'm going to see Jade because today is a first day of filming. I'm so excited but I'm nervous at the same time. Jason is awesome because we will be shooting some scenes at this banging mansion.
*RING, RING*
Who can be calling at six in the morning? I'm just about to walk out the door when I cell phone rings. I pull the phone out my pocket not even checking who it is.
"Hello."
"Hey." Jade? What does she want? Not trying to be mean or anything I just don't wanna deal with her yet. I got to get into my right mind before I deal with her. It's too early to be trying to deal with my love life.
"Hey what's up Jade?" I ask as I go back to the kitchen grabbing an apple.
"I was wondering if you wanted to ride together to our first day of filming." Jade says sounding kind of nervous. I don't want to ride with her. Like I said I don't want to deal with her right now. I sound so mean but I'm not trying to be.
"Huh, yeah sure." NO! Stop screaming. Stupid. Shut up.
"Okay cool come on." I frown. Is she here? I walk to the door opening it and there she is. She's beautiful even in the morning. "Hey." She says taking the phone from her ear smiling.
"Hey." I say biting my lip as I hang up the phone pushing a stray hair behind my ear smiling shyly has she looks me up and down.
"Ready?" She asks stepping back. I nod coming out closing the door behind me. I turn around locking the door feeling Jade's eyes on me. "You look great." Did Jade really just complement me? I frown a little as I turn back around seeing Jade smiling. I don't know how I look so great I'm not really wearing anything but skinny jeans and a shirt that has my favorite TV show on it.
"You don't have to dress a certain way to look great." Jade says noticing me trying to figure out how I look great in this.
"Right, thanks." I say blushing a little has we start to walk towards the elevator.
"You're welcome." Jade says smiling.
"How did you know where I lived?" I ask wondering how she got my address.
"Eliza." Jade says has we get on the elevator.
"Of course." I say not really wanting Jade to know where I lived yet.
"What you didn't want me to know where you lived?" Jade asks has we get on the elevator and she presses the G button.
"Not at the moment no." I say no point in lying to her.
"What you're afraid of me coming to your house and having my way with you?" Jade asks with a mischievous smile on her face. The look in her eyes make me shiver a little. Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. "I see. You know Tori I could just have my way with you any time I want." Jade say pushing herself off the other side of the elevator and coming to me with a seductive lean to her. I swallow hard looking at how her blue eyes just got darker. I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out. "You know that right?" Jade is all in my face now her body pressed firmly against mine. My heart is ramming against my chest at how close she is. My breathing becomes sallow.
Jade reaches over pushing the red button making the elevator jerk to stop. My eyes go wide and my mind is screaming to push Jade away but I can't move or talk. Her blues looking into my brown like she's looking inside me. Making me feel all exposed. Jade leans in, her lips hovering over mine. Her arm wraps around my waist before she closes the gap between us. I don't hesitate to kiss back. Her lips are like a drug. I can't get enough. I wrap my arms around her neck pulling her more into the kiss. Her tongue forces its way into my mouth and our tongues battle for dominance. I moan when she sucks on my bottom lip and that's when I come to my senses. I can't do this.
I push Jade away and push the button to make the elevator move again. I can't even look at her. I look at my shoes blushing. She could have her way with me. I couldn't even push her away. I would have just let her take me on an elevator. But I couldn't help myself. Her lips are just so… addicting. The way she kisses me puts me on cloud nine.
"Sorry." Jade says taking me from my thoughts. I just nod. I don't even look at her. The elevator dings and the door opens, showing the elevator repairman person.
"Is everything okay?" he asks and I finally look up at him putting on my best smile.
"Yeah everything is fine. My friend here pressed the button by accident." I say gesturing to Jade.
"Sorry."Jade says giving a little wave.
"It's okay." he says and we seat off the elevator going towards Jade's car. A black mustang. Nice. Jade unlocks the door and we both get inside. We just sit there not saying anything. It's not awkward but it is a lot of tension. Jade starts up the car and the song 'Weak by SWV' comes on.
Time after time after time
I tried to fight it.
But your love is strong
It keeps on holding on.
Resistances is down
When you're around, starts fading.
In my condition
I don't want to be alone.
Cause my heart starts beating triple time
With thoughts of loving you on my mind.
I can't figure out just what to do
When the cause in cure is you.
Just great. I used to like this song. Now it sucks. It only sucks because it's making a point. Shut up nobody asked you.
I get so weak in the knees
I can hardly speak
I lose all control
Then something takes over me.
In a daze
It is so amazing
It's not phase
I want you to stay with me.
By my side.
I swallow my pride.
Your love is so sweet.
Knocks me right off of my feet.
Can't explain why your loving'
Makes me weak.
I look over at Jade and she has a little smirk on her face has she drives. Ugh stupid song. It's more like lust makes me weak. Jade didn't say she loved me but with the way she kisses me makes it seem that way.
"I love this song." Jade says and I glare at her and she just grins. I roll my eyes looking out the window. Today is going to be a long day.
LINE BREAK
"Really Crystal? It's our anniversary and you're going to work." Chris the actor says pissed that plays my husband Mark. I don't answer I'm just scramble around the home office looking for papers. "Crystal are you even listening to me?" He asks sounding irritated. I sigh loudly finding the fake papers I was looking for.
"I hear you." I say brushing past and out the room walking to another part of the house.
"Hearing and listening are two different things. I wanna know if you're listening." He ask sounding frustrated as he follows me.
"Yes." I say nonchalantly has I walked into the kitchen. Sitting the papers on the counter and making coffee
"No you're not. Crystal it's our anniversary. I shouldn't have to beg to spend time with you." He says sounding kind of defeated. I sigh loudly pouring the ready coffee in a cup turning around leaning against the counter looking at the pissed hurt husband of mine. My character softens her composure and that's what I do.
"You're right, I'm sorry. Today is all about us. I'll call in and tell them I can't make it." I say and a smile breaks across his face.
"Thank you."
"Cut! That was great. Let's get ready for the next scene." Jason says clapping his hands together and everyone starts to move in a quick pace.
"Nice Job." I say to Mark.
"Right back at cha." He says patting my back before we both go different ways. I head towards the room they gave me. My dressing room. That was the first shot of today. When Jade and I first got here we had to go change and then go into makeup. Once I got into my dressing room I change out of the business women clothes and into another business women outfit. This one is black when the other one was cream. I walk out the dressing room bumping into Jade.
"Damn slow down Tori." Jade says with her trademark smirk on her face.
"Sorry." I say about to walk away but she stops me grabbing my wrist.
"You okay?" She asks and Jade the ice queen West shocks me again. Jade has never asked me if I was okay.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" I ask confused as to why she of all people asked that question.
"What I can't ask if you're okay?" Jade asks faking offences. Making me laugh a little.
"No you can. It's just I wouldn't expect…you to ask that question." I say looking down at my shoes. I feel so bad saying that. I don't know why. A lot of times Jade showed me she didn't give a fuck about me being okay and my feelings. I feel bad because she showed me that she didn't like seeing me hurt when it came to that whole Ryder thing.
"Tori," Jade calls my name hooking her finger under my chin making me look up at her. "It's okay, I understand." Jade says giving me reassuring smile. I give her small smile still feeling bad. Jade shakes her head before speaking. "Please stop. I know I showed you that I cared with the whole Ryder thing but that's just one thing. I didn't show you that I cared at all over the years… I have a lot to prove. I get that." Jade says and she's proving a lot already and she's right she does have a lot to prove. I believe she'd changed but I'm still scared of the old her popping back up. "I care Tori." Jade says softly looking deeply into my brown with her soft blue eyes.
I look at her searching her face trying to see if she's playing with me or if she's serious. And from the looks on her face she's really serious. Just as serious has she was when she said she wanted to show me the new her.
I like Jade and I might have feelings for her. There is no might, I do but I keep building up walls blocking her off. Like I said before I'm scared that if I let her know how I feel she will throw my feeling back in my face after she gets what she wants and leaves. I don't want that. She said she wanted to me to get to know the new her and that she cared about me but my mind keeps jumping back to the past. Making me remember the 'I don't give a shit' and 'I don't need anybody' Jade. 'The I rather jump in front of a moving bus then being with you' Jade. That right there made it loud and clear that she wanted nothing to do with me. That she didn't want me to get to know her and that she didn't care.
She's right I'm too stuck in the past, but it's hard to get out of it when the very person that claims she didn't like you wants you to get to know her and says she cares about you. UGH! Stupid feelings and stupid Jade for making me feel like this.
LINE BREAK
Today was so just great. The cast is great. We really got know each other in between takes. Carmen is so freaking funny. Remember she plays Jazz. She had me cracking up all day. I can already tell that we all are going to be good friends after this.
"Hey Tori, me and the others were planning on going out to celebrate on how good our first day of filming went." Carmen says smiling brightly.
"Yeah sure, where did you guys want to go?" I ask as we both walk towards our dressing rooms.
"Kisses." That is the hottest club in Hollywood.
"Okay, I'll meet you guys there." I say and we go into our own dressing rooms. I go inside closing and locking the door not bothering to turn on the light yet. I sigh loudly flicking the light switch. I hold back a scream has I see Jade sitting on the couch smirking. "I really hate you." I say trying to calm down my frantic beating heart and control my breathing.
"Did I scare my little Tori?" Jade asks laughing a little. I roll my eyes going to the mirror starting to take off some of the makeup. Did she say MY little Tori?
"What are you doing in here?" I ask ignoring her question and asking one of my own.
"Nothing." She says standing up off the bed and walking towards me. She stops right behind me and we just look at each other through the mirror.
"I see that. Maybe I should ask it this way; Why are you in here?" I ask and she smiles biting her lip has she looks over my body in the mirror. We just got finished shooting a scene where I was working out with my friend Ari who is played by Abby. In that scene we were talking about how I need to take a break from work. I have on sports bra and shorts. No wonder she's biting her lip and her eyes just go darker. Shit. I need to put on some clothes or I'm going to be even more naked then I already am. I go to move but Jade is quicker wrapping her arm around my waist pulling me so that my back is against her chest.
"No special reason." So low and husky. Making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Jade leans down kissing me right under the ear and instantly my knees feel like jell-o. That is a one of my weak spots.
"J-Jade, you should go." I say suppressing a moan.
"Why?" Jade says holding me tighter kissing the spot again before sucking lightly. a moan slips from my lips and I feel her smile against me. She really needs to go.
"I have to get undressed." I says trying around in her arms about to push her away. Bad idea and choice of words. We're face to face and I can feel her breath on my face.
"Maybe I can help with that." Jade says pushing her lips to mine grabbing the messy bun in my hair and taking it out letting my brown locks fall on my shoulders and down my back. I moan into the kiss when her tongue invades my mouth finding and fighting mine. I feel her hands slide down my back going to my butt squeezing and making me moan again. This really has to stop. Why? Because we're not together. So? Get with her. No. Why not? Because I can't alright. I'm not ready. I pull away from Jade bumping into the makeup table panting. "What's wrong?" Jade asks sounding just as out of breath as I am looking confused.
"Nothing we just can't." I say pushing her back so that I can go to the clothes on the chair by the bed.
"Tori." Jade calls my name coming behind. She grabs my wrist turning me around making me face her. "What are you afraid of?" Jade asks knowing that it's fear that's keeping us from happening.
"You." I say my voice barely above a whisper. I look at Jade and she nods in understanding.
"I really do care Tori. You don't have to be afraid of me. I know why but you don't." Jade says pulling me back against her leaning down kissing me again. This time with less ardor and more compassion. She pulls away and her eyes are back to their normal blue. More soft and caring.
"I'm sorry." I say not really knowing why I'm sorry.
"What are you apologizing for? You have every right to be afraid of me. I didn't really give you much not to be afraid of." Jade says holding me tighter. I reach up tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear running the palm of my hand gently across her cheek feeling her soft pale skin. Feeling if this is really Jade who's acting like this. I run my thumb over her soft lips and she kisses it before leaning down kissing me again. I love her lips so much. The way her body feels against mine is just so perfect.
"Tori I'll call you when we get to 'Kisses.'" I hear Abby call through the door. Jade and I don't pull apart. We just kiss and listen. We finally pull away looking at each other smiling. I really hate her so much for making me feel like this about her.
"'Kisses'?" Jade questions still not letting me go.
"Yeah, the cast wanted to go in celebrate for our first day being so good." I say and Jade nods.
"Well let's get you home so you can get ready for tonight." Jade says pecking my lips before letting go. I feel cold without her arms around me. Without being so close. Again stupid Jade.
"Are you going?" I ask as she goes to the door.
"Yeah, wouldn't miss dancing with the famous Tori Vega." Jade says with a wink before leaving. This night should be interesting.
LINE BREAK
"You're coming." I demand into the phone.
"Coming where?" Eliza asks sounding confused.
"To 'Kisses' with me tonight with the rest of the cast." I say as I find the black dress I've been looking for.
"Sure, but why?" She asks still sounding confused.
"Because I don't want to be alone." I say and she laughs.
"You're not alone. You're with the rest of the cast." She says making me roll my eyes.
"I mean with Jade." I say looking myself in the mirror with the dress held against me.
"You're still not alone." She says laughing.
"Shut up." I say laying the dress on the bed and looking for shoes.
"Why don't you want to be alone with her?"
"Because she's so….. how can I put this… so I don't know she makes me want her."
"What's wrong with wanting her?"
"I can't want her."
"Why not?"
"Because she's Jade."
"Yeah Jade the woman who wants something with you. Something more than friendship." Stupid Eliza for being right. "It's okay to want her. She wants you."
"But Naomi." I don't want to hurt her. I know she likes me and I like her too but she isn't who I want.
"Tell her how you feel." She says and she's right. Maybe I can hook her and Naomi up. That could work.
"Okay now go get ready."
"Bye."
"Bye." I hang up and I find the black shoes I've been looking for. Now Naomi. I go to my contacts finding her name and pushing the call button.
"Hello." She picks after the third ring.
"Hey Naomi how are ya?" I ask smiling.
"Oh, Hey Tori I'm fine. How did the first day of filming go?" She asks and I can hear the smile in her voice.
"It was great. That's what I was calling about. The cast wanted to celebrate at kissed tonight and I want you to come."
"Really? Thanks Tori I'll meet you there." YES!
"Okay cool bye."
"Bye." Operation Eliza and Naomi hook up is a go.
LINE BREAK
"Tori over here!" I hear my name called over the loud music of the club. I look to my left and I see Abby waving me over. I smile has I make my way through the crowd. I get to her and I'm pulled into a hug. When we pull apart I see all the cast is already here even Jade. Damn she looks good. She's wearing one of those dresses that says you can look but don't touch unless I let you. It's red, short and shows off her cleavage. Picture that one Jade and tell me you don't wanna jump her.
"Hey guys." I greet and everyone waves holding up their drinks. I smile looking for a seat and it's only one right next to Jade. I look at Jade and she has a sly smile on her face. She did this on purpose. I give her friendly smile before going to seat next to her. I try and sit away from her but she wraps and arm around my waist pulling me close.
"Hey you look… Mmm." Jade says as she bites her lip and eyes me. I blush as I get undressed by Jade's eyes.
"Thanks you don't look so bad yourself." I say raking my eyes over her body.
"Thanks, do you want a drink?" Jade asks.
"Sex on the beach." I say and a smirk appears on Jade's face.
"There are a few beaches around here maybe we can go to one." Jade says and I roll my eyes.
"Dream on." I tell her and she leans in close to my ear.
"Sometimes dreams become reality if you work hard on making them come true." I gasp when she nips at my ear lobe before getting up going towards the bar. I look at her in awe as she walks away with a sway to her hips. She flips her hair has she looks over her shoulder flashing me a panty wetting smile. Damn her.
"Hi Tori." I look away from the blue eyed woman seeing the hazel eyed one.
"You made it." I say happily standing up hugging Naomi. We part and I see Eliza making her way towards us.
"Hello ladies." She greets.
"Hey." I say hugging her. We pull apart and her and Naomi hug. Some of the other cast members went to dance so that makes more room. I sit first and Naomi sits next to me with Eliza next to her.
"Did you just get here?" Naomi asks.
"Yeah." I say looking at her and she's eyeing me the way Jade did. I really need to turn her attention to Eliza because she looks really good tonight too. "Eliza can I talk to you for a min?" I ask and she nods. "Be right back." I say to Naomi and she smiles and nods. We both stand up going towards the bathrooms where it's not as loud.
"What's up?" She asks looking confused.
"You like Naomi right?" I ask and she nod. "Then get to know her talk to her."
"You like Jade right?" She asks my question back and I nod. "Then get to know her talk to her." She mocks me and I sigh loudly running my fingers through my hair.
"Things between Jade and I are different." I say and she raises an eyebrow at me.
"How so?"
"We have history you and Naomi don't." I say and she doesn't seem like she cares about that.
"So?"
"Eliza please don't do this." I beg. She's knows I'm scared.
"The only thing to fear is fear itself."
"You can't use that. This is not something I made up in my head." I say and she shakes her head.
"You're scared of getting hurt. Of getting your heart broken again by the woman that changed. You know she changed and in your mind you know she's not going to hurt you but you keep thinking she is because of her past causing unnecessary fear to take over and you to throw up your walls."
"You don't know that she's not going to hurt me." I say quietly. Damn her too. She don't have to be right all the time.
"She doesn't either and neither do you."
"That's what I'm scared of not knowing." I say thinking over the times I know Ryder was going to hurt me and I stayed because I didn't know if the next person I was with was going to hurt me. With Ryder I knew and it didn't hurt as much.
"Let's change up Neil Armstrong quote a little. 'One small step for Tori one Giant leap for Tori and Jade.'" She says with a smile and I nod. She's right.
"Come on I have a sex on the beach waiting for me." I say pulling her into a thank you hug. We head back to our friends and Jade and Naomi are talking. They look up at us and smile.
"Come with me to the bar I drunk your sex on the beach you took too long." Jade says shaking the empty glass in my face.
"Do you guys want anything?" I ask as Jade stands up and comes next me.
"Yeah get me my main man Jack." Eliza says.
"I'll have what you're having." Naomi says and I look at Eliza whose face lets me know she's thinking negative.
"Okay." I say and Jade and I head to the bar. She's behind me and I feel her hands hold onto my waist as we walk.
"Hey can a get Jack and two sexes on the beach." Jade orders looking at me as she orders the last drinks. So freaky.
"So what did you and Eliza talk about?" Jade ask looking over at me.
"Fearing fear." I say and she looks confused.
"Fearing fear?" She questions and I nod. "Why?"
"Because we fear the invisible things." I say and she still looks confused.
"I'm lost. What does fearing fear have to do with celebrating?" She ask and I laugh as we take the drinks and head back to the table.
"Nothing, because we weren't taking about celebrating."
"Then what?" Jade ask and I don't answer. It's too late anyway were already at the table.
"Jack here is your wife." I say giving Eliza her drink. She flicks me off and I blow her kiss.
"Sex on the beach." I say handing Naomi her drink who gives me a very sexy smile eyeing me again. Damn all these women. I sit next to Naomi with Jade right next to me. Might as well be sitting on my lap. I look over at her and she's looking at me like she's searching for something.
"What?" I ask taking a sip of my drink.
"I still wanna know what you guys were talking about." Jade says. I knew she wasn't going to let it go.
"I told you."
"It was half the truth." Yeah it was but I don't want her to know the whole thing.
"Why do you wanna know?"
"Because I know it was about me?" Right again.
"Jade really it doesn't matter it was nothing bad." I say trying to reassure her that things are fine. Jade is searching me again before a look of realization comes across her face.
"The only thing to fear is fear it's self. You guys were talking about how scared you are… Of me." How the hell did she know that? Before I could say anything Jade get up and walks away. Shit! Now she's going to think I don't want to be with her because I'm scared and she's going to give up trying. I look around the club of dancing people and try to find Jade till I see her at the DJ booth taking to the DJ. After she finishes talking to him she looks at me.
"Okay people we go slow it down a little bit. We have a little throw back music." The DJ says over the mic and 'I care for you by Aaliyah' comes on.
Hey my baby,
Why you looking so down?
Seems like you need loving.
Baby you need a girl like me around
I look at Jade and she's making her way to me.
Hey my baby,
Tell me why you cry.
Jade makes it to me and holds her hand out. "Let's dance." She says and I take her hand walking out onto the floor.
Here take my hand and wipe those tears from your eyes.
She pulls me fully against her wrapping her arms around my waist as I wrap my arms around her next. She pulls me closer and starts to sing the song in my ear.
Can I talk to you?
Comfort you?
Let you know,
That I care for you.
Can I talk to you?
Comfort you?
Let you know?
I care for you.
She holds me tighter after that verse and continues to sing.
Hey sexy baby,
Why'd ya guy live you in pain?
To let a fine girl like you go.
He must be insane.
Hey sexy baby,
There's no need to worry, no
Oh girl if you call on me,
I'll come; I'll come in a hurry.
After she finishes that verse she looks at me as the courses goes on. She looks me in the eyes in its telling me she's for real. I take my hands off her neck and cup her face pulling her into a slow passionate kiss. I want Jade. She's who I want. We pull apart and smile at each other. I look over my shoulder at were our friends are and I see Eliza and Naomi laughing and talking seems like there hitting it off because Naomi's smacking her shoulder doing that flirty hair flip thing. I feel Jade's hand bring my face back to hers and she kisses me again. Yeah, she's the one I want.
Review please. They make my day. What do you think is going to happen next?
