Chapter 7: Day One of Many
Jade's POV
The light was bright. I felt like I had a hangover, but I didn't touch alcohol last night, or weed. That's when I realized it. I was spooning, naked, with Tori. I had a SEX hangover. I didn't want to move yet, so I just took in her scent; a potent mix of sex and her vanilla body wash. I had hickies all over my neck and around my breasts,, and even down my stomach.
Remind me to pay her back, double.
Eventually, I could feel my right arm going numb, so I gently slid it out from under her and got up. Pulling on the robe I brought from Bob's place, I headed downstairs to find David. Yeah, now that I was with Tori, like that, I'm not going to call him dad. The sentiment's there, it just doesn't feel right now. "'Morning David."
"Since when do you call me by name?"
"Since I started bUHHHH started... Dating your daughter. Just doesn't feel right to me, you know?"
He nodded while sipping his coffee. "Yeah, I getcha. Just do me one favor."
"What's that?"
"Try to be a tad quieter when you two... You know, do the do."
The color in my face could've rivaled all the blood in The Scissoring. "I am... So sorry."
"Don't worry about it, kiddo. You didn't wake me up, I had to wazz and heard the... Commotion. Anyways, I'll be home late tonight, keep my little angel safe, alright, kiddo?"
"Hey, she's my angel too. Seeya later." I headed off to get coffee for myself, before I felt arms slink around my waist. "Good morning, tall, pale and sexy."
"Good morning to you, too. God, did you ever think we'd be like this?"
Tori laughed that infectous laugh of hers. "Not a snowball's chance in Hell. Not after you made me into a dog and dumped coffee on my head."
"Yeah, I was a bitch, wasn't I?"
"WAS?" Tori let her lips curl into a smirk that rivaled mine.
"Oh, yeah, I still am. Go me."
"God I love you." She leaned up and kissed me, and I still wasn't used to this. It was the best thing in the world. And all because I caused her to attempt suicide.
Am I a bad person?
~~~Later that day~~~
"Knock knock!" Sam and Carly came in like they owned the place. Gosh darn them. Wow, did I say that? Stop being so PG, inner monologue.
"Hey, Webstar, Piggy Puff." "Webstar? Piggy Puff?"
"Oh, yeah, we all have nicknames for each other. I'm Piggy Puff, Tori's Cheekbones, Jade's Scissor Bitch, Andre's Keyman, Beck... WAS Pretty Boy, now he's Prison Bitch, Robbie's Puppet Boy, Rex is Ass Man, Cat's Kitty Cat and Trina's Screecher in private-" "We should reconsider that, she's getting better." "-Later, dude. And she's Pillows in public, 'cause... Ya know. Big tits." "Sam!" "Sorry, Carls. Anyhow, you're Webstar because of iCarly."
Carly nodded, she got it. "That's kinda cool. What would Spencer and Freddie be?"
Sam and I, in unison said... "Firestarter and Nerd Boy"
Carly laughed. "I still don't get how he does that."
"Carls, it's obvious. He's secretly Dumbledore."
I facepalmed. "Yes, that's what the problem is. He's secretly a very old wizard from a fantasy novel. Yup."
I set my pencil down and stood up to give Sam the customary fistbump and head for the kitchen. "Where's the ACTUAL Vega at?" "Oh, bite me." I grabbed a bottle of water and nodded to them, asking if they wanted one too. Seeing them, Carly perked up. "Can I have a Peppi Cola?" I nodded and handed her one and Sam a bottle of water.
"She's upstairs finishing her Science homework and submitting college applications. I was finishing my math homework. Actually, finishED, I got the last problem done when you said "knock knock." So unlike my girlfriend, I am freeeeee." I twirled a bit too much there, because next thing I knew I was looking up at our neighbour and her friend.
"Easy, there, Tinkerbell." "Bite me." Shouldn't've said that while Sam had my hand, because she actually bit me. "Ow! What've you got, fangs?"
She didn't answer because Tori came downstairs with a stack of envelopes. "Why the Hell don't colleges migrate to online applications? Oh, hey Sam, Carly." "Hi/Hey."
Tori walked over and kissed me, eliciting a gag from Sam and a coo from Carly.
"All done, Vega?"
Carly went almost cross-eyed. "Why do you still call her "Vega?""
Tori laughed. "It's our thing. First name when we're intimate, last name when we're not. It's like the nickname thing. Isn't that right, Scissor Bitch?"
I couldn't help but snicker. "It sounds so un-menacing when you say it." "Oh, blow me."
Sam busted a gut laughing while Carly covered her ears and started going "LALALALAICAN'THEARYOU"
"Sam, your girlfriend's too innocent."
Carly heard that. "Girlf- Wha- I-" "Whoops, I think I broke her."
Tori's POV
A bit later we were all sat in the living room watching TV. I think Archer was on at this point. Sam was MIA because she went for a coffee run. Then Jade spoke up.
"So, Carly..."
"So, Jade...?"
"You're in love with someone, aren'tcha?"
"Huh?"
"Jade, what are you doing?" She swatted my foot, both of which were in her lap, I might add, and shooshed me.
"I'm playing Cupid, Vega. Carly, look at Vega and I. We started out hating each other-" "I never hated you." "-I started out hating her. But look now. I have her feet in my lap, and I hate feet. A year ago, if you told me this'd happen, I'd've punched you, then had sex with Prison Bitch."
Carly shuddered when she thought of why he went from Pretty Boy to Prison Bitch. I had to admit, the pregnancy was really getting to me. I've had a few odd cravings lately, and my belly looks like a giant bee stung it.
"So, what's this gotta do wi-" "I'm getting to that. Vega and I started as enemies. You and Sam started as friends, you're like sisters."
I nodded. "Yeah, I'd wager you're more like a sister to Sam than her own sister is."
"Right. So what we're getting at is..."
Sam's POV
"...getting at is, talk to her. Look, if you needed clarification, she IS gay. She and I... Might've had a... Small fling a while back. Okay, it was more like a make-out session, but still. Take the plunge."
... You don't need to, Carls.
"D'You have to talk about me behind my back, Jade?"
They all jumped, and I grinned.
"Carly, you need to decide things, not go on what Jade says. Do yo feel something for me?"
She just nodded.
"Then I tell you what. Let's go out tonight. On a proper date. See how things go. If there's a second date, great. If not, we say we tried and we stay best friends. Alright?"
Again, she nodded. I set the drink tray down and took mine and smiled. "I'll pick you up at 8?" A nod, again.
Jade's POV
"... Did I really just pull that off?"
"Yes and no. But I think you broke Carly. Again."
"In 5, 4, 3, 2..."
"I'm Carly! ... Oh, crap. Thanks. Did... Did Sam really ask me out?"
Tori and I nodded. "You best go get ready, Webstar."
"You're right. I'll see you guys later. Thanks for inviting us over even though you technically didn't!"
"... She is right, they just kinda barged in."
"Well, who said Sam was allowed? Certainly not me."
"Oh, shut up, Scissor Bitch."
We laughed and went back to watching TV, though we shifted so we were spooning. I couldn't be more content.
Maybe if I was starring in The Scissoring 2...
Don't forget to review.
Until next time. :)
